An Extra's POV - Chapter 705 The Great Elven War [Pt 1]

Chapter 705  The Great Elven War [Pt 1]

“The plan remains the same…”

The three Dragon Generals stood before their army of thousands of Dragons, their smiles broad as they felt some form of anticipation in their bones.

R’azak, U’riah, and Ce’phas had stayed out of the battle long enough.

However, now that they were all participating in the war against the Elves, the situation had now taken a turn for the better. The Morale of the Dragon Troops increased exponentially upon hearing of this news, so the atmosphere was electric with anticipation.

The 12 Commanders were also going to join the battle too. Having their leadership in the war, and their power in the overwhelming battle to come reassured the Dragons who looked up to them all.

Right now, the Generals were addressing the Newts and Soldiers who watched with clear attention and resolve to fulfill their role to the Empire.

Since most of them had not fought for a very long time since the intervention of Adrien, there was a kind of anticipation that dwelled in their eyes. Dragons were beings of chaos, after all, and so their unsated hunger for death and destruction made them more than happy to receive the news of their grand attack on the Elves.

Adrien stood among the Dragons who were being addressed by the Dragon Generals, smiling just as they were, with his own thoughts flowing as they made their point.

‘He’s basically restating what was discussed in the meeting, but leaving out the details. There’s no need for footsoldiers and dispensable pawns to know the full picture. That role belongs to those commanding them…’

And as for the plan itself, Adrien didn’t think it was particularly bad.

Sure, it felt a little simplistic, but considering the way the Elves attacked, having a very simple but effective plan seemed like the way to go.

‘My Undead Army will attack from the front—same as always—then, the Dragon Army will attack them from behind.’ Adrien nearly chuckled to himself as he went over the strategy that would be implemented.

Commanders would also attack from the right and left flanks, leaving no wiggle room for escape.

‘Thankfully, we have a lot of air power, so the Dragons have a major field advantage.’ He smiled and nodded one final time.

The most twisted part of the plan involved the Dragon Generals themselves.

‘While all the efforts are being concentrated on the battlefield, the Generals will head to the Elf Community and wreak havoc there. If they manage to kill the Esteemed Elders, it’ll severely weaken the entire resistance.’

That was the rationale behind their assault, and to be honest it was great.

There was only a single issue about the whole thing, and it was one that Adrien decided to pitch in to help the movement..

‘I promised to keep the benefactor of the Elves busy while they destroy the Community and severely weaken everything. That’s the best way I can pull my weight in this, outside of my disposable army.’

Adrien was one who prided himself as a realist, so almost as soon as he considered Rey as an enemy, he burst out into a chuckle and shook his head.

‘I can’t beat him…’ But, he didn’t have to. He just had to make it seem like he was doing his best and working so that the Dragons could win.

“DO WE ALL UNDERSTAND?!”

As the thunderous voice of the Generals rang in the air, lost echoes of Dragons tuned in to the loudest of volumes.

“YESSSSSSIIIRRRRR!!!”

[Moments Later]

“Fire!”

~WHOOOOSH!~

Just as was the plan with the Dragons, so was the execution.

The Undead Monsters rushed towards the Elven Camp in droves, their overwhelming number seemingly increasing with every step they took. A dark cloud of Miasma hung above them—like a thundercloud of heavy rain, or an unstoppable storm, that could not stop.

Then, there were the troublesome Undead Dragons that dominated the skies. Steam proceeded from their jaws as they shot perverse energy as breaths and intensely burned everything in their path.

In the intensity of this moment, however, the Elves stood firm.

They already had a sanctuary that served as the perfect base to protect them. With the plan that they had been using so far, which worked effectively to their benefit, they stuck to their projectiles and kept firing.

They also relied on their foot soldiers—the ones who felt no such thing as pain, and overwhelmed the Dragons during the last scuffles.

The Elementals were already stationed before the walls of the Camp, so the moment the Undead Monsters reached a certain distance, all of them whirred to life in an instant.

The Absolute Elemental General, which stood at the forefront of the army, was the first to move and set himself ablaze with energy. In no time at all, the rest followed suit.

Fire. Water. Earth. Air. Lightning.

Varying colors representing the elements shot up into the sky as each Elemental lit the world around them, and the one that was slowly closing in on them.

With all of this set up, an intense battle was afoot.

~BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!~

Noises like this filled the battlefield, as terror-filled screeches constantly rang across the expansive field of nightmares. As Undead and Elementals fought, the Elves did their best to take down the flying creatures who constantly tried to reduce the integrity of their battery. UppTodat𝒆d fr𝒐m nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

Even though the battlefield was rough, the Elves still had most of things under control. They were the ones manipulating the flow of battle, all from a safe distance.

However… in life, the most unexpected could ruin everything. The Elves learned that lesson at the moment when, during their echoes of victory and excitement, they suddenly heard noise.

~RUMBLE!~

At first, many dismissed at mere tremors. But, they got louder with every passing noise and vibration it made.

~RUMBLE!~

It seemed whatever this was… it was getting closer.

~RUMBLE!~

No one knew what it was, and just as apprehension mixed with curiosity was about to perfectly mix within the heart of the Elves, a certain Elf ran towards the battle area.

She was out of breath, and her terrified face was pale. Still, she found the strength to raise her voice and inform them of the source of the rumble.

“T-THE DRAGONS ARE AT OUR REAR!!!”
