Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 250 New War

Gu Jinlong knew that the evil dragon before him couldn't be a fool. If he didn't even put the ancient dragons in his eyes... then what kind of being was he?!

"What...what exactly are you?" Gu Jinlong asked his last words before he died, his voice trembling.

Argreed mercifully explained to him, "I am the most perfect dragon in the world, the Destruction Dragon God who bears the will of Aio! My name is 'Argreed Nidhogg Aio Tutankhamun Presidian Rael'."

After saying that, Agreed squeezed the head of the ancient golden dragon with force, ending its life. After collecting all the ancient dragon corpses, Agreed opened a portal and returned to the island where the golden and silver dragons lived together.

Just an hour later, the once beautiful island was reduced to scorched earth, and the Golden Dragon and Silver Dragon races vanished from the planet Musurida. Thus, apart from the human kingdom, the entire planet was now in Agred's hands.

However, instead of pressing his advantage to attack the human kingdoms, Agreed lay low and began to develop the ocean and the newly acquired islands. Agreed knew that things had to be done one step at a time, and there was no need to rush the affairs of the human kingdoms. The most important thing was to take care of his own problems first.

The Eleventh Year of the Era of the Kingdom of Myriad Races

The human kingdoms finally fell into civil war due to their flawed economic systems. Agreed took advantage of the situation and directly cut off the human kingdoms' food supply and labor outsourcing. Although the human kingdoms eventually suppressed the popular uprising with armed force, many refugees still chose to go to the Kingdom of All Races to seek a new life.

Before long, with their own businesses collapsing completely, the human kingdoms were forced to wage war against the surrounding countries!

Remington, with information support from the witches, led his troops in a blitzkrieg against the Elf Forest, annihilating the elves and occupying their land. However, the elven land had little food; its only strategic value lay in its geographical location. To appease the people, Remington's modern forces swiftly destroyed the pig-man kingdom, plundering vast amounts of food and…meat! (Pigmen are edible to humans.)

Unfortunately, the collapse of the financial chain could not be repaired by that little bit of land. So, for the sake of the country's prosperity, Remington's invincible army unified the north with an almost sweeping victory. During this period, a large number of refugees from various races fled to the Kingdom of All Races, and Agred accepted them all without hesitation. He also provided other countries with food, medical priests and other aid resources free of charge, and declared to the world: "The Kingdom of All Races welcomes any friend who wants to live a good life to settle here, even if it is just a country, we will not refuse them."

Everything was proceeding according to Agreed's plan. Once the human kingdoms unified the north, he could easily seize control of the planet and rule it effortlessly. To be honest, Agreed had to thank humanity. Not only had they cleared obstacles and solved the problems hindering his unification efforts, but over the years, his nation had absorbed human innovations, significantly improving their living standards and quality of life. Even Agreed couldn't help but exclaim, "What a wonderful bunch!"

Fourteenth Year of the Era of the Kingdom of Myriad Races

The human kingdoms defeated the stubborn rat-man kingdoms and completely unified the entire northern continent. Agred also accepted almost all the remaining people of these countries, pushing the population to a new peak. After swallowing the entire north, the human kingdoms did not take any further action. Instead, they changed their strategy and began to keep a low profile, avoiding provoking the kingdom of all races.

It was obvious that Remington himself knew that the territory of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races was too vast, and if he stretched out the battle lines, humanity would undoubtedly be defeated.

Unfortunately, what they didn't expect was that just three weeks after the human empire completely unified the north, the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races declared war on the only remaining hostile nation on the planet, the human kingdom!

Remington hadn't expected that Argreed would declare war on him before he even had a chance to cause them any trouble. However, Remington didn't care because in his eyes, Argreed's country was a backward agricultural feudal empire that couldn't possibly compete with his modern cities and armed forces.

Unfortunately, reality soon shattered his ridiculous ideas and worldview, and it was at this moment that the war between technological civilization and magical civilization officially began.

The first spring of the fifteenth year of the Era of the Kingdom of Myriad Races

Yorick led his gnoll army, Glock led his lizardmen army, and Blitz led his kobold army, launching an attack on the human kingdom from three directions.

……

It was a warm morning, a gentle breeze caressing the faces of the lizardmen. Glock held a shield made of green dragon scales in one hand and a warhammer forged from dwarven alloy in the other. Today, he was leading his men toward the nearest human border fortress, the 'City That Never Falls'.

Just then, a bullet silently struck Glock's head with a whooshing sound. With a bang, the bullet was quickly deformed and flew aside by Glock's hard dragon scales and skull. Although the large-caliber armor-piercing bullet was powerful, its power was simply not enough for a legendary dragonman. This shot did not even damage the dragon scales on Glock's head, only causing Glock's head to feel a little pain from the impact.

The enemy sniping instantly alerted Glock, who waved his hand and ordered, "Chameleon Squad, search the nearby battlefield! There's a sniper!"

Upon receiving the order, the chameleon squad quickly vanished from formation and searched the surrounding area. Due to the interference of the witch's magic circle, the human kingdom was unable to provide information from the spirit particles, so the chameleons could only rely on their superior eyesight and built-in infrared vision to locate the attackers.

Glock rubbed his slightly itchy head and analyzed, "Only one shot and no one else followed up, so he must have been acting alone. The gunshot was very quiet, so he must have used a silencer. The first shot was aimed at the head instead of a more forgiving part of the body where there's a chance for a follow-up shot. This shows the enemy is very confident in their marksmanship. Top-tier snipers are rare; they're probably just here to scout and gather information. Let's continue our advance. Being bogged down here is exactly what they want." After analyzing for a while, Glock led his lizardman troops back towards the Undying City.

As Glock had predicted, after the lizardman army had advanced another five kilometers, the chameleon unit returned with the captured snipers.

The chameleons threw the sniper, whose Achilles tendons they had severed, in front of Glock. Glock walked over, grabbed his head, and said, "My lord has mercifully said to treat prisoners well. If you are willing to tell me about the defenses of the Undying City, I can spare your life."

The sniper didn't speak, but spat in Glock's face. Glock shook his head helplessly, then punched the sniper's head, instantly killing him. Glock then explained to the chameleons, "These snipers are just like you chameleons; they've all undergone rigorous training and possess extremely high patience and perseverance. Torture and interrogation are useless and just a waste of our time. Let's go; we need to continue our operation and try to take the City of No Fall today." With that, Glock smashed the sniper rifle he had captured from the sniper into pieces with a single blow.

The chameleons beside them nodded respectfully, and then followed the lizardman army northward.
