Chapter 2348: Chapter 1169: Great Dragon Assault (2)

"Fortunately, just at this time, the Spirit Ruins appeared. The ancestors were pleasantly surprised to discover that within the Spirit Ruins, there would be non-toxic soil and plants. Each Spirit Ruins could be viewed as a small world, untainted by the four major curses. Although Spirit Ruins are dangerous, as long as soil and plants can be obtained from them, raising children becomes a possibility. Thus, the initial civil engineering profession was born in response to this need."

"Ancestors started actively exploring and developing the Spirit Ruins. Through the joint efforts of countless predecessors, the mobile cities we are familiar with today were ultimately built."

Dorothy:"..."

She did not expect that the civil engineering in this world was surprisingly pure. It truly was a project of obtaining soil and wood; compared to grouting, it seemed more like being a low-level nature porter.

As she was grumbling inwardly, Loki’s voice came again.

"Sister, don’t underestimate our profession! We are not just simple soil and wood porters. Figuring out how to safely, steadily, and efficiently develop the Spirit Ruins is a technical task. Therefore, to this day, our civil engineering is essentially an expertise in Spirit Ruins and is an indispensable force driving the development of the world."

The little girl said proudly, and from her posture with her head held high and chest out, it was obvious she truly felt proud of being a civil engineer.

"Yes, yes, Loki teacher....."

Dorothy was just about to humor this loli teacher, but suddenly jarring alarm sounds disrupted the lesson for the three.

"Uh, what’s happening?"

The homebody witch was bewildered as she looked at Elsa beside her.

But before the Angel Girl could explain, Loki’s voice, tinged with a bit of excitement and a bit of apprehension, rang out.

"It’s the assembly call. It means the legion is about to engage the enemy in battle. Sisters, wasn’t it said recently that there were outside invaders again? Maybe they were just encountered by our legion. Anyway, prepare for combat. Such large-scale battles typically trigger the Spirit Ruins phenomenon, and I’ve heard that the invaders this time seem adept at creating Spirit Ruins, so it looks like we’ll get some work soon. Let’s skip the theory and head straight to practical classes."

With that said, she eagerly ran outside.

Dorothy and Elsa exchanged a glance, and as newcomers, they had no choice but to follow the little senior outside.

Once the three left the civil engineering area, they saw the entire military camp had already entered a battle-ready state. All the soldiers were quick yet orderly in taking their positions; some entered warships, others climbed into Titan Mecha cockpits, with warships igniting and Mechas launching.....

The homebody witch and Angel Girl followed Loki to the edge of a camp location, and from this deck edge, looking far into the distance, they could clearly see the battlefield ahead.

"Ah, is it the Dragon Clan?"

Dorothy quickly realized the identity of this time’s enemies. It was the ancient team of dragons, one of the old Three Calamities.

Of course, this was clearly not the main force of the dragons, just a small squad, totaling only a few hundred dragons. Yet even so, the pressure from those massive beasts, often spanning hundreds or thousands of meters, was terrifying.

One could only say that the old Calamity was worthy of its reputation, always domineering. Compared to the witches’ conservative development tactics, the dragons’ strategies were much more audacious and aggressive.

"Roar..."

A resounding dragon roar was heard, emitted by the leading Primordial Dragon at the forefront.

And this roar carried magical power, allowing everyone who heard it to instantly understand the meaning of the Dragon Roar.

"Surrender or die, choose now, insignificant reptiles."

In response, the soldiers going to confront them were visibly enraged, thinking they were underestimated.

However, Dorothy, who was familiar with the dragons’ temperament, was somewhat surprised.

"Wow, the dragons are actually accepting captives now. It really seems that the Intelligent Mechanic Wilderness has substance, shaking the dragons’ confidence a bit."

Such was the thought in the homebody witch’s mind.

After all, as she understood, dragons’ conquests in another world were always straightforward and brutal: kill, eat, then leave.

It seemed that the Intelligent Mechanic Wilderness was indeed too large, too difficult to swallow in one go. Otherwise, the dragons might have already crushed the world from the outside, not even bothering to land for combat.

Yet by normal dragon tactics, they should have gone straight to those large cities by now, commencing a rampage like Godzilla, destroying everything invincibly.

Every world not visited by dragons before had experienced the despair of monster invasion terror.

Captives? What kind of monster captures prisoners? They would rather stomp them to death.

But now, Dorothy heard the dragons offering surrender. This could only mean the dragons assessed the world and decided they couldn’t capture it quickly, preparing for a prolonged combat mode.

Dragons, though brave, aren’t brainless fools. If they could swiftly end the battle, they wouldn’t need prisoners—just gobble them up and leave. But if it can’t be done quickly, they would need some traitors as claws and servants.

After all, they do need a lifestyle, and without servants, should the dragon lords personally handle small tasks like pouring tea?

Yet, it’s not easy being a servant to dragons. They have high standards, requiring even servants to be powerful enough to meet their eyes; otherwise, timid ones might be frightened to death by the Dragon’s Might at their mere approach—a rather unpalatable outcome.

Therefore, dragons often first demonstrate their unparalleled power to the natives, utterly crushing their will to resist, and then choose some of the strongest as servants.

Evidently, the 666 Legion had the misfortune of being chosen as the chicken for this slaughter to terrify the monkeys.

"Tsk, why do things go wrong wherever I go? Just so unlucky?"

Dorothy complained to herself inwardly.

She simply wanted to live safely and cautiously for a while, yet was now faced with a genuine dragon about to ride her face. She could only hope the Wild Hunt army of 666 lived up to its name; otherwise, she’d need to act secretly, because she couldn’t be serving and supporting dragon lords, could she?

But the homebody witch’s expression quickly changed, as even more intense Dragon Roars came from the front.

This time, there was none of that magical translation power. Dorothy, knowing dragon language, immediately understood they were chanting Dragon Language Magic.

"What? Starting right off with an Eleven-Ring Forbidden Curse? Are you even considering taking captives?"

After discerning the content of the dragon group’s Dragon Language chant, Dorothy suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

Eleven-Ring Dragon Language Forbidden Spell—Dragon King Roar.

Although the name was rather mundane, dragons have always named their techniques simply like Dragon’s Breath, Dragon’s Roar, Dragon’s Claws, practical and straightforward.

But practicality doesn’t mean it’s not powerful. Especially since this isn’t merely Dragon’s Roar; it’s Dragon King Roar, truly bearing the terrifying power from the wrathful roar of a Dragon King.

Of course, this Dragon King certainly isn’t the Witch Dragon King but the true King of Dragons, one whose status in the Dragon Realm is second only to the Eight Dragon Gods.

And those who can be called Dragon King aren’t weak. The weakest Dragon King at least is a strong one among the Ancient Dragons, and those who are powerful—such as the Snake Dragon King senior Patmel—possess the terrifying strength to vie for the Dragon God’s position.

The roar of a Dragon King could genuinely mean earth-shattering destruction.

If it were senior Patmel at peak form bellowing, Dorothy felt even the nine-star World of Intelligent Mechanic Wilderness might not withstand it.

Luckily, this was just a magical simulation of Dragon King Roar, and the caster was only an Ancient Dragon, not a Primordial Dragon, so it wouldn’t destroy the world but would certainly annihilate cities.

Could this military camp really withstand this attack?

Dorothy felt it was doubtful.

Yet as she considered whether to step in, she heard an even more high-pitched dragon roar.

Hmm, now this really seemed to be an actual Dragon King Roar.

Just as the fleets in front were fully deploying shields, an enormous shadow suddenly eclipsed the skies and enveloped everyone below.

It was an immensely large warship, also a majestic, stunning steel dragon.

This was the Legendary Battleship—Bahamut.

.....Dragons fell silent.....
