Chapter 181. The War Has Begun I

Chapter 181. The War Has Begun IDragon King's Harem Chapter 181. The War Has Begun IThe sun was getting higher. The silence around the Firestone Fortress was odd or rather terrifying since that peace would end terribly.Soon, the sound of marching footsteps broke the silence. The ground started to shake and the monsters started to run away in fear.The Minotaur army that was lined up neatly appeared from the distance. The giant beasts tailed them. Due to their huge size, the dragons could see them more clearly from a distance.Likewise with the dragons. They were ready to counter them. The soldiers were ready at their posts and the Wyverns were ready at the top of the fortress.General Guillotine walked among them with his eyes fixed on the line of minotaur troops. There was no worry on his face. With all the plans, he was very confident to win this battle. Still, it was the two kings' battle that would determine their victory.Eir, who was wearing a black cloak with a hood covering his head, walked beside him stoutly, trying to imitate Argod as best as he could. Yet he couldn't shake off the tension on his face since pretending to be the king and fighting was two different things.The atmosphere became tense when the Minotaurs stopped and General Dravis advanced in front of them to give his encouragement before the battle started. He knew this battle might end their lives.“Minotaur! Remember this! This battle is a battle of honor for us! For our tribe! The very first step of the Minotaur is to prove that we are the strongest tribe in Igixar. Not the dragons. So today, we're going to defeat the dragons and make them kneel beneath our feet!” he shouted.His soldiers answered him with a loud shout of enthusiasm. They raised their weapons, showing their determination.General Dravis swept his gaze over his soldiers, looked into their faces, and burned his memory with what he saw. His heart ached, since even his encouragement managed to ignite his soldier's spirit, he knew it was all just a lie.The king... His own brother would sacrifice those Minotaurs' lives for his ego and personal ambition. Yet he could do nothing to prevent it.With a heavy heart, he turned and stared at the stone fortress not far from them. The dragons seemed ready to counter them and with their mana element, he knew the front army would not stand a chance.Still... he had to carry out orders. This war was inevitable.General Dravis raised his weapon and roared. A sign that the war had begun. Followed by the sound of battle horns. A loud shout came out of the Minotaurs' mouths as they advanced excitedly towards the fortress. Their footsteps shook the ground. Only the general alone remained in his position to give the next order.Behind them, the beasts began to advance. Especially the Mamothath and Brainless Stone Giants, two kinds of beasts that could help them to break the fortress. The ground shook violently and left footprints every time they stepped.At the same time, in the underground, the Minotaur elite soldiers were also moving rapidly down tunnels.Seeing that the Minotaur had already advanced, General Guillotine raised his two fingers, an order for his troops to prepare their fire skills. The soldiers who had lined up neatly, pointed their palms forward, preparing to cast their fire skills at the MinotaurWhile at the top of the fortress, the general's assistant was ready with the Wyverns. Their impatient roars shouted. But he waited for the opening attack to be launched.When the Minotaur entered their skill range, the general waved his hand forward.“FIRE!” he shouted at the top of his lungs.After that command, the fire skill came out of the dragons' hands. The crystal defense activated and shot dozens of fire orbs at the Minotaurs.The minotaurs quickly stopped their movement and slammed their weapons into the ground. As the soil went up and covered their bodies with stone walls, the soldiers ducked for cover. Still, some were not lucky enough. The fireballs hit their bodies before they could do so.-Boom! - Boom! -Boom!Explosions and shouts echoed through the sky when the fire reached the Minotaur. The fire burned the ground. Smoke rose high in the sky. Dust, stones, and stone shards were thrown in all directions.That first strike was enough to kill some of them in an instant since their mana element was weak with the fire element. Even if they changed to their original form, it was useless against the fire. That was why they chose to stay on this form. At least with the smaller size, they could hide easily.While the front-line soldiers were still busy taking cover. General Guillotine's assistant changed to his true form. A gray dragon with the body size of a commercial plane. He raised his head. A loud roar escaped his mouth. An order for the Wyverns to attack.The Wyverns answered him, all of them flicked their wings and flew towards the minotaurs. So did the assistant.As they passed the Minotaur, more fire skills came out of their mouths, showering their enemies with fireballs even though their target was the beasts far away in the back row. That simple thing was enough to kill at least a third of the Minotaur's frontline army.It was sad indeed since even though it was the Minotaur who started this war, it was the dragons who had the advantages. This was no different from one-sided slaughter.
