Chapter 1101: I've Eaten Some Of Your Kind



Talila ignored the commanders and slipped into the part of the ship where Draconian soldiers had fallen. She gripped her bow tightly and moved stealthily down the dim corridor as a

steady thumping echoed in the distance.

The sound put her on edge as she gripped her bow even more, 'What the hell is that? More Blightborns.'

She summoned a mana arrow, nocking it carefully as she neared a bend. Peering around the corner, she spotted several fallen Dragonknights, now aimlessly wandering with their swords loosely clutched in their lifeless hands.

"They've been turned into Ghouls,' Talila mused. 'I need to put them to rest.'

Following that, she poked around the corner and started firing mana arrows at the creatures, which took them out quickly. The bodies dropped to the floor with a few thuds, allowing her to move forward.

Her boots stepped in pools of blood as she continued down the ship's corridors, only to encounter more creatures. Talila put them down with dozens of arrows that pierced through their foreheads.

Soon enough, the reason for the Dragonknights death appeared, and the monster caused her blood to run cold, 'What is this thing! Its a nightmare.'

A twisted, gaunt figure shuffled into view, its elongated limbs bending at unnatural angles, skin stretched tight over sharp, jutting bones. Its face was a grotesque mask, with hollow eye sockets that leaked a dark liquid and a mouth that split open far too wide, exposing rows of jagged teeth.

The creature's head tilted as it locked onto her, a slow, sickening smile creeping across its face. When she saw this, the hair on the back of her neck stood up, but she managed to steel her nerves.

'Darling did say they have creepy creatures under their control,' Talila thought while gulping as she readied herself for a fight.

That's when it lunged, its twisted limbs pushing it forward with terrifying speed. She dodged just in time, the creature's claws screeching against the metal wall where her head had been a heartbeat before.

Talila spun, firing a mana arrow that exploded as it struck, sending sparks across the corridor. The creature barely staggered, its hollow eyes now blazing with hunger. It lunged again, clawed fingers reaching, but she rolled beneath its swipe.

She shot upward from her crouch, the arrow piercing the creature's side, yet it twisted in rage, hissing as thick, black ichor oozed from the wound. Talila had no room to evade as the creature cornered her, pressing forward until she felt the cold metal of the wall at her back.

'Oh shit, this is bad, but I got an idea.'

Without waiting, Talila summoned all her remaining energy in a split second, channeling it into a final arrow that crackled with fierce, blue light. As the creature lunged again, she released the shot, the force blasting it backward.

The creature shrieked as the arrow tore through its chest, collapsing in a heap as its twisted limbs convulsed, then stilled. Talila let out a sigh of relief as she put her bow away while scanning the new monster.

'More crew or something else?' she pondered before continuing.

now?" she asked.

Nala sighed, turning to answer, "We had a trade agreement with them; everything was

smooth. But then they joined the Alliance and, just like that, sank fifty Draconian ships. Aisha sent warnings, but their Empress, Embera Duskfire, ignored them. She's a powerful fire mage and the strongest fighter on Avidia."

"Damn fire elves, they are acting like this because Archer isn't here, and they're taking advantage of the situation," Elara answered while staring across no man's land.

Following that, the three women watched as the Dragonfire Company started firing their cannons as a Monster Wave charged toward the fortress, but they were quickly wiped out by

the explosions that burned them to ash.

While standing there, Nala questioned, "How many soldiers did this landing cost us? Have you got the numbers?"

Elara frowned before revealing, "Just over eight thousand dead; the Healers have healed the

rest."

The lioness sighed as several roars echoed across the sky as the Thunderbolt Throwers targeted the flying Swarm monsters. Yellow bolts washed over them, causing the creatures to plummet toward the ground.

Just as that happened, several waves of shells slammed against the fortress's protective shield, which lit up like a star. The three women looked up as Elara commented, "The Alliance are using their numbers against us. Should I issue the order to dig under the fortress for more

protection?"

Nala nodded as she responded, "Yes, and get the earth mages to help; it shouldn't take the army too long to do it."

Following that, the fortress buzzed to life as the legions started digging out an underground network as the shield was failing due to the constant barrage. While this happened, the lioness turned to Elara, "Do you believe this will last for days as you predicted?" The dragon-kin woman nodded as she started speaking: "Yes, reports suggest that they combined all their war machines and used them to destroy the fortress. They did it to your homeland alongside the Avalonians."

Nala didn't reply as she turned on her heel and left the wall in silence while planning the upcoming attack, which would use the tunnels they built to drag the enemy inside while the main force left through a new entrance.

Elara had devised the plan, and the Dragon Marshels agreed to it. The lioness watched the legions get to work while the Dragonfall Company returned fire to keep the enemy army at bay until they were ready to spring the trap.

The legionnaires created obstacles for the Alliance using the soil and stones the earth mages

piled up.
