Chapter 484: 472 That is Endo_1
In pitch darkness, it was difficult for normal people to see their surroundings clearly.
If fighting in the darkness of night, it would naturally be fraught with difficulties. No matter what, torches would have to be held up for illumination; otherwise, swinging a sword in the dark could easily lead to injuring allies or even oneself.
However, most monster races did not have this problem.
Even some monsters without dark vision had already received night vision potions from the Minotaur or Lizardman Shaman beforehand.
Of course, the production of such potions was not difficult, and many human Spellcasters could also concoct them.
However, the suddenness of this night raid left most people of the Western Empire unprepared.
So, apart from the Dragon Slumber Army, most of the Western Empire’s people were at an absolute disadvantage when fighting at night compared to the monsters.
Especially with Gaz’s specific request, the light sources of the Western Empire, like torches, were the prime targets for the monsters.
Almost all of the light sources were knocked down by the monsters. Originally, half of the Western Empire’s camp was still illuminated; now, almost the entire area was plunged into darkness.
In such an extreme environment, ordinary soldiers of the Western Empire were naturally no match for the monsters.
Even the burly men of the Vide, like Mega Fatty, were just onlookers at this time.
They were as blind as the people of the Western Empire, and most of them had not received night vision potions before arriving here.
Even with the advantage in situation and terrain, the Western Empire did not completely collapse at the beginning.
The reason was that the Dragonization Soldiers were simply too powerful, and they were all fearless in the face of death.
With the help of the Dragon Slumber Army, the Western Empire’s elite Crimson Legion even managed to regroup and resist nearby, even setting up new light sources.
Unlike ordinary ragtag armies, the Crimson Legion’s configuration was naturally more advanced.
Now torches were scarce, but almost every ten-person squad was equipped with some special mana crystals.
Although they had average mana storage, they could act as excellent light sources.
With the restoration of light, the elite soldiers of the Crimson Legion could even launch a counterattack on a certain scale against Gaz and his allies by relying on the Dragon Slumber Army’s circumference.
And as time went by, they began to gradually incorporate many of the remnants of the regular army, making the surrounding defenses more stable.
Having dominated the continent for so long, it was natural that the Empire’s legions could not be so easily defeated.
Some lines of defense even began to plan counterattacks against the monsters.
The tenacity of these Western Empire people gave Gaz a headache.
However, this situation did not last long, and soon, an odd Dragon Beast with one of its forelimbs missing changed the situation significantly.
“Roar!”
In a furious roar, the irrational monster Endo began slaughtering everything in sight at the most concentrated area of the Dragon Slumber Army.
To deal with Endo, the Dragon Slumber Army and the Crimson Legion expended a lot of energy.
At first, Gaz found it strange where this bizarre Dragon Beast came from and to which camp it belonged.
But soon, he sensed a familiar aura on this Dragon Beast.
“It’s one of our kind!”
Understanding this, Gaz’s face bloomed into a cold smile.
However, seeing the crazed Dragon Beast, he instructed the monsters to avoid Endo’s battlefield to prevent friendly fire and instead gathered forces to attack the other formations of the Western Empire’s army.
Although Gaz didn’t know where this one-armed Dragon Beast came from, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
In his opinion, it seemed to be hinting at something.
Could it be that the great Silver Dragon Lord was growing impatient?
After all, their progress this time had been rather slow.
Realizing this, Gaz’s brow furrowed, and he soon made up his mind.
Things could not be dragged on any longer!
Gaz, Mega Fatty, Link, and other powerful monsters who had experienced Dragonborn transformation came together. Like a sharp knife, they assembled and charged towards the Dragon Slumber Army.
The individual strength of the Dragon Slumber Army was strong, but compared to these Dragonborn monsters, who could be considered hero units, there was still a gap.
Under their full onslaught, even the Dragon Slumber Army’s formation was torn open.
Ogres and Trolls followed suit with roars, and their actions greatly boosted the morale of the monster army.
The two sides collided once again, and the situation became increasingly apparent.
Although the monsters’ casualty rate was rising rapidly, their progress was also very impressive.
Unless something unexpected happened, people of the Eastern Empire, be it the Dragon Slumber Army or the Crimson Legion, would be annihilated here.
Now, apart from the dogmatic Dragon Slumber Army, the only reason the Crimson Legion was still holding on was that the Gale Swordsman, Vanas, had not yet appeared.
As long as Endo could appear on the battlefield, and under the leadership of the Gale Swordsman, they might not be without hope.
What they didn’t know was that Endo had already appeared and was the strange Dragon Beast that had killed countless of their companions.
Just as the battle reached its most critical moment, Vanas, who had been at the forefront of the war, quietly retreated to the rear of the battlefield.
Next, she cloaked herself in a dark, loose robe again, and in the shadows of the robe, tore a Teleportation Scroll with both hands.
At this critical moment of life and death, her figure began to fade rapidly, soon disappearing from her original location.
She had actually chosen to abandon her companions and flee without any hesitation at such a time!
The reason for her choice was simple: she was actually one of the main planners of the Dragon Slumber Army and the Berserker Army project.
Moreover, most of the research on this aspect was personally participated in by her.
Others were not clear about the current situation, but she knew it all too well.
She also knew very well what Endo would become if he overdosed on Dragon Crystals.
That was Endo!
So, she also knew that their last hope had vanished.
At present, the only force left with the power to fight was the airborne Blood Fortress.
However, the other side also had a Floating City, and the predecessor was the strongest among the three Floating Cities, Stania. Vanas naturally did not believe that their side could turn the tide with only the Blood Fortress.
Even so, the landing point she chose after using the Teleportation Scroll was the Blood Fortress.
However, after arriving here, she did not ask the Blood Fortress to launch any attacks; instead, she turned around and fled directly towards the rear.
