Chapter 780 - 780 27 Emissary of the Dragon God_2

780: Chapter 27: Emissary of the Dragon God_2 780: Chapter 27: Emissary of the Dragon God_2 Ian’s feet lightly tapped, and he left a long trail of afterimages in the air, catching up with the trajectory of Sheyan’s flight, ready to completely crush the Mountain Tribes Chieftain to death.

“Not bad.”

In his heart, he even thought nonchalantly, “After using the ‘Auxiliary Calculation Module’, I can better use the power of the Fairy Bloodline and the Rock Cast Knight simultaneously—and Chief Zhenzhou’s soul has been captured by the Deceased Monarch, it’s probably being processed by the Silver Chip now.”

Defeating Zhenzhou and Sheyan without any witnesses was child’s play for Ian, who had already crushed Viscount Avak.

He just couldn’t expose his true strength…

But in a rural place like South Ridge, covering up tracks was too simple.

It didn’t even require much effort from him.

Among a large pile of fallen tree debris, Ian walked up to Sheyan, whose bones had all been crushed by him.

He lifted his left hand, and the invisible pressure was about to kill the chieftain in an instant

“Emissary of the Dragon God—spare my life!!”

But at the very last moment, Chief Sheyan was still struggling, he was now using Origin Quality to vibrate the air and plead with Ian, and what he said was indeed interesting: “I understand now, it’s all our fault!

We used the name of the Dragon God to start an uprising, so the emissary came to punish us!”

“We were wrong, emissary, please, give us a chance to atone for our mistakes!”

“Oh?”

Ian lowered his lifted hand, but in the next moment, he lifted his foot and stepped on Chief Sheyan’s chest, crushing several more of his ribs.

The young man raised an eyebrow and said softly, “Emissary of the Dragon God?

I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

“What?”

But now the one confused was Sheyan.

He said incredulously, “Your left hand—isn’t that the grace of the Dragon God?”

Ian looked sideways at his own left hand, suddenly realizing.

His left arm, which housed the Aether Crystal and Morien Steel, now looked like an iron arm constructed from green crystals.

The final legacy of the Aether Crystal Dragon, in the eyes of the Dragon Worship Cult, was a symbol of ‘Dragonization’, and also a staple for the core members of the cult.

Indeed, Ian had used this organ to operate the Dragon Worship Sect’s Secret Techniques, producing quite a few Source Quality Crystals for his troops to use as ammunition.

But now, in Sheyan’s eyes, this was a symbol of ‘Emissary of the Dragon God’?

Upon further thought, it wasn’t entirely impossible…

The Crystal Dragon was a dragon, after all, and his Aether Crystal arm did indeed resemble the body of the King of the Mountain covered with Dragon Crystal Alloy.

“Interesting.”

Ian was always interested in any explanation that could add layers to his disguise, so he didn’t immediately crush Sheyan’s heart, “Go on.”

“How…

can I explain?” Sheyan had no idea what to say.

From the moment he saw Ian lift his arm covered in green crystals, releasing a massive burst of Earth Origin Quality power, he instantly thought of the possibility.

The Hand of Green Crystal, a clear symbol of Dragonization, was something possessed by heirs of Dragon Blood, set apart from the mundane.

Unaware of The Unyielding Fortress and not thinking of something like the Silver Chip, he had no choice but to lean on what he was most familiar with—Dragon Blood…

An Ascender with a clear Fairy Bloodline suddenly unleashes pure Earth Series Origin Quality power related to dragons in South Ridge—no Mountain People would believe it had nothing to do with the Qing Steel Dragon!

But indeed, it had nothing to do with the Qing Steel Dragon.

Sheyan honestly told Ian his thoughts, then pleaded desperately, “Emissary!

We will worship you!

My tribe will raise you to godhood—so that’s how it is, your ability to rule over the Holy Land Xia Hui Lake truly is the will of the Dragon God!

No wonder we who intended to stop you were struck by heavenly lightning, punished by fate…

It’s all destiny!”

“What you’re saying…

yes.

That’s how it is.”

Ian was startled by Sheyan’s reasoning, the other’s logic chain and deductions were so complete that had he not been the person in question, he would have been convinced.

Indeed!

Possessing the Earth Origin Quality of the dragon, I came to the Mountaineer Sacred Land, a place of Dragon God worshippers, to become their lord, and a group of Mountain People who did not recognize their true master came to attack me, only to be punished by heavenly thunder…

This is too classic, this scene should be directly written into the scriptures!

“You have indeed given me a new direction.”

Ian nodded slightly, “Fighting for interpretive authority…

perhaps I don’t need to contend for the Holy Ground, you Mountain People will take the initiative to invite me over.”

“But unfortunately, you still have to die.”

With those words, he stomped forcefully, crushing the heart of Chief Sheyan, and the undulating Source Quality ground his entire upper body to dust, giving him a swift and completely insensible death.

The two Mountain Tribes Chieftains who came chasing after Ian had both fallen, but there was still one left, Chief Tiechen, who had been severely wounded by Ian with a Cyclops Giant from the start.

The remaining chieftain was likely directing the Mountain Troops to regroup and attack Leyan City to steal the glory…

but they were destined to be disappointed.

“Even I, faced with Leyan City’s current defense system, would have to attack from the flank, a frontal assault without revealing the Rock Cast Knights would certainly result in injuries.”

Ian shook his head with a smile, knowing that the counterattack against the Mountain People was entering its final stage, and what followed would just be a matter of how substantial the victory would be.

As the Lord, his role in the upcoming events would be nothing short of decisively ending the entire war when the Mountain People attacked Leyan City.

Meanwhile.

Around Leyan City.

The clouds rolled darkly, yet it did not rain.

Seizing the thunder-free opportunity, the Mountain People’s troops were accelerating forward, aiming to blockade Leyan City before the Magnetic Storm Armor that had retreated during the previous raid had returned to the city.

Though wounded, Chief Tiechen, who had recovered substantially after taking a potion, rode his war horse, raised his battle axe high, and with a crude tone of voice issued clear commands toward Leyan City.

“Fifth squad, release the obscuring fog layer; we cannot let our troops be exposed to the fortress cannon’s line of sight!”

“Third and fourth squads, build defenses on the hill and set up Alchemical Cannons!

Ninth squad!

Release the scouting hawks and report the positions of the city’s defense towers, preparing for precision strikes!”

At this moment, no one who saw Chief Tiechen would think of him as a crude Mountaineer but rather a seasoned commander—in fact, apes are among the most intelligent of animals, and Magical Beasts even more so.

The Iron Core Steel Arm Apes already had the ability to use simple tools and possessed some language ability, so Chief Tiechen’s intelligence was quite high.

But nobody would suspect, or harbor malice toward the crudely friendly barbarian,

And now, there was no longer any room for Chief Tiechen to continue playing the fool.

Following the chieftain’s orders, thick gray fog rose from the front and both sides of the Mountain People’s position, creating a massive impenetrable fog zone.

This served both as a smokescreen to obscure the enemy’s vision and as a countermeasure against Ian’s Charged Rifle.

——Since the enemy has a Light Beam Gun that never misses, why not render it useless?

The third and fourth squads, led by an Earth Ascender captain, immediately activated their abilities, moving sand and rocks around.

In no time, they constructed a thick mudstone barricade and a hallowed trench on the hillside, and the Alchemical Cannons were being set up as well.

The scouting hawks carrying small sensors also flew out from the Mountain People’s positions, intending to approach Leyan City to gather information on its defenses.

This technology originated from the Fiery Flame Land and was said to have been initially used for communication with highly intelligent creatures like dolphins.

However, it soon specialized as a technique for intelligence warfare, replacing drones with more agile small creatures to gather information.

In less than half an hour, the hills occupied by the Mountain People were fortified into a sturdy small fortress…

This was the power of Sublimators and the unique technology of Telarte, ensuring that any troops in any situation would not have to engage in a ‘meeting battle’ without any cover or fortifications.

A hawk quietly soared from the midst of the fog, gliding high across the sky, overlooking the distant Leyan City.

But a distant prismatic ray shot across and struck the hawk.
