Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 136 Battle Against the Kingdom of Light

However, the Divine Bone Realm is still the Divine Bone Realm. Even though he is not perfect yet, Agreed, who has broken through to the Divine Bone Realm, still has a physical strength strong enough to support him to instantly cast forbidden spells.

In high spirits, Agreed looked at Brecel kneeling beside him and asked, "What happened? Why did you come to me in such a hurry?"

Brecel immediately replied, "My lord, the Light Empire sent troops to invade the Orc Plains. We didn't take it seriously at first, but... the Golden Dragon Clan appeared on the battlefield and opposed us for some reason. Now the Light Empire and the Golden Dragon Clan have joined forces and are constantly occupying our land."

Agreed wasn't surprised, but explained, "The Golden Dragon Clan is probably here to retaliate against me. After all, I stole their ancestor's bones. That's normal, since I didn't have time to hide my whereabouts. Besides, with dragons' keen senses, it probably wouldn't have mattered even if I had hidden myself. It's alright, I'll deal with the Golden Dragon Clan myself. Let's go, it's time to kick out these impolite guests."

As he spoke, Agred placed his hand on Brecel's shoulder and activated magic, instantly teleporting him to the orc capital. At this moment, Kasa was leading the assembled orc army, standing guard on the recently repaired city walls. Upon seeing Agred arrive, Kasa seemed to have found his pillar of support, and knelt down beside Agred to apologize, saying, "Your subordinate is incompetent, allowing the reptiles to take away your territory. Please punish me, Master."

Agreed waved his hand reassuringly, "Get up. This isn't your fault. How's the battle going?"

Kasa immediately raised his head and reported, "Now, all the orcs in our territories except the royal city have fled to the western swamp. The human army is advancing rapidly, burning, killing, and looting on the orc plains. Lester is leading the vampire troops to fight a guerrilla war against them using their mobility, but they won't be able to hold out for long. Soon the humans will realize what's going on and launch a direct attack on the orc royal city."

Agreed then said, "Since there's still time, let me prepare a bit more. Kasa, send a message to Lester and tell him to slow down the human army's advance as much as possible while preserving his strength. I'll see if I can raise my soul level enough to easily deal with them during this time. If the army is at the city gates, wake me up in the palace immediately."

After saying this, Agreed entered the palace to begin cultivating the Soul Vortex, attempting to advance further and use absolute power to turn the tide of the battle to the greatest extent possible.

Three days later, a heavily wounded Lester retreated back to the orcish capital, along with a third of his vampire clan. Brecel immediately asked with concern, "How did you get so badly injured? Did the Pope of the Kingdom of Light intervene?"

Lester shook his head and said, "It was an old dragon from the Golden Dragon Clan who made the move. I couldn't beat him. The racial advantage of the Golden Dragon Clan is too terrifying. Even though the old dragon was only facing a legendary powerhouse, I still couldn't beat him as someone of the same level."

Brecel asked worriedly, "What should we do? The adults are still in seclusion. How long will it take for them to get here?"

Lester pondered for a moment, then analyzed, "They could arrive as early as tonight, but they probably won't attack at night. The undead have a great advantage in the dark, while humans are completely blind. They won't be stupid enough to come here to their deaths. In other words, the earliest they'll launch their final assault here is tomorrow morning."

After hearing this, Kasa hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then... should we wake the adults up now?"

Brecel shook his head and said, "Let's give the master some more time. We'll wake him up tomorrow morning."

The three stood anxiously on the city wall, gazing into the distance. The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the grassland outside golden, making it appear exceptionally holy and beautiful. However, to the spirits on the city wall, this beautiful scene was an apocalyptic landscape filled with despair and destruction, which made them somewhat uneasy.

The next morning, as Lester had predicted, the human army appeared on the horizon and marched toward the orc capital.

The human army of 200,000 was not a significant force, but what was truly worrying were the twenty golden dragons, at least in their prime, circling above their ranks. Even a single dragon was enough to make Lester and his men feel like they were facing a formidable enemy, and the current situation was truly despairing and powerless.

Brecel arrived at Agred's palace at dawn and called out, "My lord, the enemy army is at the city gates. I am incompetent and beg you to come out of the pass."

The palace doors were suddenly blown open from the inside by a gust of wind, and Agreed, who had been floating in mid-air, slowly landed on the ground and stepped out. He then said to himself, "They've come so quickly. They're quite anxious, aren't they? That's fine. Although I'm not yet at my peak, I'm more than capable of dealing with them. So now it's time to establish a nation. Come on, stand behind and witness the birth of a vengeful duke! Let this battle be the opening ceremony of my nation's founding!"

Afterwards, Agreed led Brecel to the city wall. All the undead and vampires knelt down upon seeing Agreed. Standing on the city wall, Agreed watched the human army approaching them. Suddenly, Agreed asked for no apparent reason, "Do you think this performance is better viewed from below the city wall or on the plains?"

Everyone was stunned by the question. After a while, Lester tentatively asked, "Sir, do you mean... it would be better to ask where we should fight the enemy?"

Agreed nodded and continued, "Where do you think we should kill them all to demonstrate my power?"

Casa immediately replied, "Of course, it's best to wipe them all out single-handedly, then randomly select a few lucky ones to send back and report. That would be the best way to show off your power."

“Good idea, let’s do it this way.” Agreed chuckled softly, then soared into the sky and flew towards the distant human army.

Upon seeing this, Brecel cried out in alarm, "Kasa, are you insane? You're leaving the Lord alone to face that terrifying army! No, that's too dangerous! Gather everyone and go out to support the Lord right now, quick!!"

But before Brecel could take any further action, Lester, who had been watching the distance with the extraordinary vision of a vampire, suddenly spoke up in a terrified tone: "I think it's unnecessary. The lord has already started fighting with the human army, and... and the human army has been almost wiped out!"

Instantly, Kasa and Brecel both looked into the distance, only to find the battlefield littered with corpses, and Agreed engaged in a final battle with the Golden Dragon Clan.
