The army moved at lightning speed!
A team of several hundred guards advanced rapidly in the biting cold!
No one spoke a word during their travel.
They were all silent.
They had already increased their speed to the absolute limit, but still, they did not have much expectations for the state of Bohr Village.
After all, they were facing off against a dragon, a creature of myths.
A casual spell could easily destroy their village. Boulders, projectiles, and even razor sharp weapons were useless against dragons, as their scales had made them impervious to most objects.
To most, dragons were a symbol of invincibility.
They were also the symbol of fear!
Many of the guards’ hearts were pounding. They had no idea what kind of fierce battle awaited them.
Even though there were hundreds of them, none of them were sure that they would be able to survive. Nevertheless, they still carried out their mission without hesitation.
After all, they were Magford’s personal guards!
Their lord, Magford had treated them well throughout their tenure. They had taken every good deed that Magford carried out to heart. Thus, now that their lord’s territory was under threat, they would not hesitate, even though their enemy was a dragon.
Moreover, many of them had come from the villages around the Moldos Mountain Range. Therefore, they were also very familiar with Bohr Village.
Even the soldiers who had never been to Bohr village knew that it was the village closest to the lord’s manor.
They intuitively understood that, should Bohr Village fall, the lord’s manor would most likely follow.
The terrifying Lightning Beam that Max had unleashed earlier had instilled fear deep within their souls.
There was also the dragon roar that had come from Max. Despite not being at the epicenter of the roar, many of the poultry within the lord’s manor had still been shaken to death by the roar.
Should such a terrifying dragon reach the lord’s manor, the consequences would be unimaginably disastrous!
Their spines could not help but feel a chill upon envisioning the enemy they were up against.
Nevertheless, they were willing to sacrifice their lives so long as there was a chance of protecting their loved ones.
…
“Bohr Village is right ahead!”
After an unknown amount of time, one of the guards at the head of the formation suddenly shouted.
Upon hearing those words, a chill ran down the guards’ spines.
They were about to approach the dragon and engage in battle!
At this moment, many people pulled out their swords from their waists and prepared themselves to launch an attack at any time.
Magford frowned.
The head of the unit beside him suddenly shouted.
“All teams, report the situation!”
“Squad 1 is ready!”
“Squad 2 is ready!”
“Squad 3 is ready!”
“The mage squad is ready!”
…
The captains of countless squads also shouted.
The army formed by hundreds of guards burst out with an invincible aura!
“Very good, all squads, listen up!”
The leader of the army shouted and then looked at Duke Magford Belagroya.
“Move out!” Magford roared.
“All units move out!”
Upon giving the order, the guards who were already travelling at top speeds suddenly went even faster!
Molmo was also affected by the atmosphere. His veins were filled with adrenaline, and he wanted nothing more than to return to Bohr Village.
Bohr Village was right in front of him!
…
Back in Bohr village.
After the death of the old village chief, many people had gathered around the spot where the old village chief had been incinerated.
He was struck by Max’s terrifying electricity, and not a single strand of hair nor scrap of clothing remained.
The people who stopped at the place where the old village chief had died consisted of both old and young.
It seemed that although the old village chief had a bad temper, he was still considered a respected village chief.
“How pitiful. He didn’t do anything wrong, and yet, he was killed just to prove a point.”
“I hope the old village chief can go to Heaven!”
“The old village chief sacrificed himself to protect our village. He is a hero!”
The villagers wept and wept as they discussed.
There were even quite a number of people who placed fresh flowers on the spot where the old village chief had died on.
There was nothing they could do. Nothing had remained of the old village chief, after all. They could not build him a grave even if they wanted to.
At this moment, the sound of hooves suddenly came from afar.
“What’s going on!?”
“It’s an army!”
“Molmo must have already told the lord about this matter. The lord has sent an army to help us!”
“Great, we’re saved!”
At this moment, Osse was the only person who was frowning.
He knew how powerful Max was, and he was certain that an ordinary army would not stand a chance against him.
Unless the lord of the region had requested the old king to send over a Dragon-vanquishing Ballista, there was no chance they could land a critical blow onto Max.
While these thoughts were running through Osse’s mind, the army had already entered Bohr Village.
“What’s going on!?”
“Wasn’t there a dragon here?”
“Why didn’t anything happen?”
“Didn’t a huge energy beam explode here just now?”
The hundreds of guards were stunned when they realized that Bohr Village was fine.
Even though some of the houses had collapsed and there were cracks on their walls, none of the villagers seemed to have suffered any harm.
The scene of carnage they had envisioned did not end coming true.
They exchanged puzzled glances at each other.
“What exactly happened here?”
Magford slowly got down his horse and asked the villagers of Bohr Village.
“Duke…”
“This is what happened…”
An old woman walked up and said while crying.
After that, she told him everything that Max had done.
Magford nodded, and through the words of the old woman, he gradually understood everything.
The Red Dragon was capable of speaking the human tongue. However, after robbing the village of its food and killing the village chief, it left.
On the other hand, Molmo’s eyes turned red with fury, and the veins in his neck bulged as he listened to the old woman’s narration.
He clenched his fists tightly, and as a result of his nails digging into his flesh, blood started to flow out.
“This damned Red Dragon killed my father!”
