Chapter 286: 284 Goddess Advent_1
Translator: 549690339
These Dwarf Paladins and the Holy Light Priests from Caran were the ones whom Otto had requested some time ago to travel via the underground tunnel to Yellow Sand City.
Although the underground tunnel was already a shortcut, it was evident that going by air would be faster, so Otto arrived earlier even though they left after him.
With their addition, and the demise of Landry, there was not much to say about the situation inside Yellow Sand City.
For the Soaring Dragon Legion, the situation was very favorable.
The Undead were no match for the Holy Knights and Holy Light Priests.
Even though the Holy Knights and Holy Light Priests had limited effects on ordinary underground creatures, without the support of the vast undead army, the other opponents couldn’t possibly be a match for the Soaring Dragon Legion.
Black Iron Heavy Cannons on the city walls kept pouring out horrifying firepower, while Boarman Longbowmen or Lizardman Spear Throwers stood on the walls or other high ground within the city, raining arrows like mad.
Upon entering the city, they became excellent targets instead.
A large number of Dore or other underground creatures were forced to retreat, while most of the undead didn’t even have a chance to withdraw.
At this moment, Riley, who was still outside the city, watched this scene with a stiff expression and complicated emotions.
If she had followed the army into Yellow Sand City, she probably wouldn’t have ended up much better than Landry.
But in any case, they had lost this battle, and lost badly.
Given her influence in the city-state, it would be impossible to gather such a large underground army again.
The goddess would surely be furious, and her position as High Priest might be taken by someone else.
While her family was powerful, they also had many enemies.
As long as there was an opportunity, many people would be eager to see her fall and to take her place.
She knew the consequences, but in the end, she chose to flee.
It couldn’t be helped, as everything else was secondary to saving her own life.
No matter her status or her family’s power, there would still be opportunities to fight for them as long as she was alive.
If she was gone, everything would be gone, whether it was money or the handsome male slaves she kept at home.
Glancing at her loyal guards with similarly complicated expressions, Riley saw that they all seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after she gave the order to retreat.
It was really impossible to expect much from these guys.
Feeling gloomy, Riley led a group of well-equipped Dore warriors and spellcasters, turning their heads to run toward the rear, preparing to return to the Dark Domain through the portal in the rift.
However, before they had gone far, some Dore warriors noticed something was wrong.
“High Priest, the sky ”
“The sky?”
Hearing the voice, Riley was somewhat puzzled and then looked up at the sky.
Her pupils contracted, and she was horrified to find that the Silver Dragon, the manifestation of the goddess’s will, was now right above their heads.
It was only after she saw this Silver Dragon with her own eyes that she realized how arrogant she had been before.
Look at this nearly 30-meter-long giant body; there’s no way she could deal with such an existence.
Don’t even mention herself and the few dozen guards behind her, the whole underground army she had before might not even be a match for him.
A dragon of this size, regardless of the species, would be a catastrophe wherever it went.
Hopefully, it was just passing by
Just as Riley was thinking this way, she was devastated to find that the damned Silver Dragon’s altitude above her head was rapidly dropping.
Although reluctant to believe, the cruel reality was right before her eyes.This damn Silver Dragon is coming right at her!
Escape! She must escape!
This was Riley’s only thought.
Because she knew she could never defeat this Silver Dragon, just looking at its terrifying size made her gasp for breath.
So, the first thing Riley thought of was to instruct her personal guards to stay behind and cover her escape while chaos ensued.
But before she could put this idea into motion, a familiar and irresistible voice appeared in her mind.
“Riley, my devout child, you’ve done well. Leave the rest to me!”
That shriveled, hoarse voice – Riley would never mistake it.
It was the Spider Goddess Rose!
At the same time, she knew what her goddess intended to do to her. The fear of death and the desire for survival instinctively caused a trace of resistance in her body.
But for Rose, such weak resistance could be ignored outright.
She didn’t even bother to dwell on Riley’s previous unfavorable battles or her present disrespect towards her.
Because soon, Riley would be finished
In extreme fear, Riley covered her head and tightly closed her eyes, her body trembling continuously.
Her concerned guards around her closed in, wanting to ask what had happened.
As a result, several black threads suddenly emerged from Riley’s body, binding each surrounding Dore.
At the same time, Riley’s body finally stopped shaking, and her tightly closed eyes suddenly opened wide.
Even though there were no changes to her face, her whole demeanor was entirely different from before. Even if her acquaintances saw her, they probably wouldn’t recognize her as Riley.
She had become the medium for Rose’s advent to the continent.
“Silver Dragon ”
With a cold smile on her face, Rose, now possessing Riley’s body, suddenly exerted force, pulling the nearby Dore bound by the black threads to her side.
Afterward, these frightened Dore astonishingly dissolved into pure energy and easily merged into Rose’s body.
It wasn’t until dozens of elite Dore were completely absorbed that Rose leisurely stretched her body. There was no significant change in her size compared to before.
However, an indistinct black shadow appeared behind her, and her threat level within Otto’s perception was constantly rising.
“Boom!”
With a loud noise, Otto had landed in front of Rose.
Seeing the other party looking at him with great interest, Rose sneered, “Finally, we meet again, Silver Dragon!”
At this, Otto curled his lips, not liking the title.
So, he casually replied, “Yes, we meet again. I didn’t expect so much excitement, and even unexpected surprises. Besides, you can call me Otto ”
The Silver Dragon’s calm response in front of her puzzled Rose, as it seemed not to fear her at all.
Could it be that their last encounter led him to mistakenly believe that she had no substantial strength?
But that was just a special case. This time it was different.
As the High Priest, Riley could be said to be one of the best vessels for her on this continent.
If that was really the case, then she would use brutal facts to tell this damnable Silver Dragon what a true deity’s greatness was!
