Dragon Monarch System

Chapter 347 - Battle Of NewMoon Woodlands [I]

The eastern border between the Echo Dominion Empire and The Mystic Spring Empire is a mountainous region. Tall trees covered the mountains. This whole region is home to many Magic animal species. The magic animals that lived in this region were mostly 1st or 2nd-order magic animals. Most of the magic animals that lived in this region were herbivorous magic animals. And most herbivorous magic animals are peaceful by nature. These magic animals would run away if they see large groups of people. They wouldnʼt attack unless they are provoked.

Feeling the presence of 600,000+ soldiers, these Magic animals kept themselves far away and hidden.

A path between the mountains and the dense forest connected the Echo Dominion Empire and The Mystic Spring Empire. This path was mostly used by adventurers, Rogue cultivators, bandits, merchants, and travelers. But now due to the War, there was no one in this path. Knowing that this path will become a battlefield, no one traveled using this path anymore. Even the mountain bandits that lived by robbing and killing the travelers had no choice but to leave. For them, till the war ended, the business had been closed down.

Both the Echo Dominion Empire and The Mystic Spring Empire also had closed their borders and didnʼt allow anyone to travel using this path.

The army of 600,000 silently waited for The Mystic Spring Empireʼs troops to arrive.

”General Eddie, youʼre here as well. Itʼs nice to see you again.” Eddie Wood is the commander of the Onard Family and Adamʼs right-hand man. Back when Aditya first came to meet Juliaʼs parents, he had met Eddie and had fought with him. At the end of their fight, they ended up destroying half of the Onard Familyʼs Mansion.

Eddie is someone who would rather betray Adam. His loyalty lies with the Onard Family and with Adam. ”Your Majesty, I didnʼt expect you to remember me.” From Adam, Eddie had learned of Adityaʼs real identity. He thought such a high-profile man wouldnʼt remember him.

”Of course, I remember you. I still remember the spar that we had that day.” Hearing this Eddie remembered the half-destroyed Onard Familyʼs Mansion and the things that Aditya did during the goblin invasion.

”Your Majesty, itʼs nice to have you here with us.” Eddie saw Aditya as a one-man army. As long as Aditya was here, their victory was confirmed.

ʼI donʼt care what kind of monsters we are going to face. Even if the enemy sends millions of troops, we would still win because of him.ʼ Eddie thought while looking at Aditya.

”Father, where is old man Tobias?” Tobias is the old Vampire who had taught Aditya about runes. Because of Tobiasʼs teachings, Aditya was able to become a 3-star runemaster within a very short time.

If Eddie is considered Adamʼs right-hand man, then old man Tobias is Adamʼs left-hand. Old vampire, Tobias is wise, intelligent, strong, and powerful. Aditya was looking forward to seeing him.

”Someone needs to stay back at the Apogale City.” Apogale city is the place where the Onard family Mansion was located. Since Adam had bought his entire army to this battlefield, Tobias would be staying at the Apogale city to make sure the city is protected.

After silently waiting for a few minutes, Aditya, Adam, Eddie, and a few other sensory cultivators sensed some beings with cold and dark Aura heading in their direction from the East.

After a few minutes of waiting, everyone saw some skeleton figures flying in their direction. Upon a closer look, everyone discovered these skeleton figures to be undead magic birds.

”It seems the enemy has bought Necromancer with them.” It was rare to use Necromancer on a battlefield. In this world, Necromancer is a profession is that not liked by most people. Necromancer is seen as a creepy and low-status job.

Necromancers have the ability to raise the dead and turn them into undeads. If a Necromancer is bought to the battlefield, he can turn the dead soldiers into undeads and force the undeads to continue the war. Many factions see this as a low thing. So they donʼt bring any Necromancer with them. There are some Kingdoms and Empires out there that have banned Necromancers and dark mages.

”There are at least 10,000 undeads heading in our direction.” From this Adam and Aditya were able to conclude that the enemy had more than 100 Necromancers in their ranks.

”Father, let me deal with them.” Adam just nodded his head and allowed Aditya to act first. The ranks of these undeads were not that high. At most, these undeads were Peak 2nd-order or beginner 3rd-order. While the majority of the undeads were 1st-order.

Under everyoneʼs gazes, Aditya stood in front of the undeads paths.

At the same time, Crimson lightning started coming out of his body. The Crimson lightning danced around his body like snakes. More and more Crimson lightning gathered around his body. After a certain point, everyone saw Adityaʼs entire body covered in Crimson lightning-like lightning armor. The Crimson lightning had formed a red-lightning skin around his entire body.

”There are coming.” The undeads approached Aditya. The undeads failed to sense the danger in front of them.

Just as the undeads came within Adityaʼs 50 meters radius he snapped his fingers.

Snap!

The next second, fierce crimson lightning cracking sounds were heard. Crimson lightning snakes came out of Adityaʼs body and started attacking the undeads.

Boom!!!

Boom!!

Boom!!

Each time the Crimson lightning snakes touched the body of an undead, the bodies of the undeads instantly exploded like balloons.

While the Crimson lightning snakes were destroying the undeads at a rapid speed, Aditya sensed a powerful presence within the enemy. The Aura that he sensed was a Powerful Peak 5th-order cultivator. The Aura he sensed was cold, violent, and bloodthirsty. It was as if the Aura was searching for blood.

”I guess, I should also get serious now.”

『Ding! The passive boost of the Storm Marshal class has been activated. The hostʼs mana has been temporarily increased by 50%. The power of lightning and wind-type attacks has been increased by 50%. Your Agility has been increased by [300+].』

Storm Flight!

Lightning Armor!

Crimson Lightning Dash!

『Ding! You have activated Storm Flight. Due to the storm, the agility boost from the Storm Flight has been doubled. You have obtained [200+] Agility points.』

『Ding! You have activated the Lightning Armor. Your defense has increased. You have obtained [100+] strength.』

『Ding! You have activated Crimson Lightning Dash. By consuming [20+] mana per second, you have obtained [200+] agility points.』

Aditya decided to hold himself from using Inferno Overdrive and Dragon transformation. He felt that activating those two kills at the same time would be an overkill. Now that he had reached Peak 3rd-order, even without needing to activate those two skills, he can deal with any Peak 5th-order cultivator. Unless the enemy has the stats of a Mid-6th-order powerhouse, Aditya has nothing to worry about.

And in this continent, it is impossible for even a 6th-order cultivator to retain his original powers because of the law of heaven.

Adam, Eddie, and others sensed the Aura around Aditya getting strong with each passing second. Seeing this Aditya was sure that Aditya must have sensed a strong presence in the enemy troops.

”Everyone, today we all have come here to protect our children, our family, our wives, our parents, our birth town, and our Homeland. It is an unfortunate fact that we can secure peace only by fighting this war. Under the starry sky, we will face our enemies without any fear. By making death our ally, we will become immortals on this battlefield.”

”Now raise your swords, spears, and bows, and follow me to the battlefield.” Adamʼs speech seems to have affected every soldier standing behind him. Their blood boiled hearing his passionate words. And seeing Aditya destroy the undeads like nothing seems to have given the soldiers the courage that they needed.

”Fight for our family.”

”Fight for our children.”

”Fight to defend our homeland.”

All the soldiers roared along with Adam and Eddie and followed Adam toward the enemy.

On the other side, The Mystic Spring Empireʼs troops also raised their swords high and increased their marching pace. Soon the troops of both sides clash. This will mark the official beginning of this War.

Meanwhile, 15 away from the NewMoon Woodlands, Daxton had come using the teleportation array.

”Your Majesty, it looks like we are already late.” Said Prime Minister who had been forcefully dragged along even though he didnʼt want to come to the battlefield.

”Letʼs hurry up. We canʼt miss this battle.” Daxton dragged his Prime Minister like an excited child.
