Chapter 99 - A Helpless Killing

Chapter 99: A Helpless Killing
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“My Lord, are you alright?!”
After killing the bird-type monster in an instant, the Nightmare Green Dragon Tyrell landed on the ground and asked Mike.
“I’m fine.” Mike shook his head.
This bird-type monster had died before it even touched him. How could he not be alright?
Seeing this, Tyrell respectfully lowered his dragon head.
“Roger that, Supreme Lord, I’m going to fight the enemy again!”
“Mm, go.” Mike nodded, feeling a little helpless.
As soon as he finished speaking….
Roar!!
“You bunch of lowly creatures, don’t even think about touching my Lord’s castle!”
The Nightmare Green Dragon Tyrell roared again and flew high into the sky, continuing to spew out poisonous dragon breath to clean up the bird monsters in the sky.
Not long after, the first wave of bird monsters that attacked the castle were cleared out by Tyrell and Derek.
Mike was the only one who stood there stunned.
…
He really wanted to face the monsters in the wild and test out his current skills. However, the troops in front of him did not give him a chance at all. Two times in a row, his monsters were stolen.
In the end, the Nightmare Green Dragon Tyrell and the Earth Dragon General Derek even killed all the monsters in the sky.
“Awesome, when will my first drop of blood arrive?” Mike stood alone in the courtyard outside the castle, feeling helpless.
He held the Gnome Chieftain’s Sword in his hand and had a high-level defensive magic around him — a shield formed by the Light of Nature’s Blessing.
He looked a little embarrassed.
There were a lot of monsters outside the castle walls, but Mike would not be stupid enough to run out just for the first drop of blood. That would be fatal!
At this moment, the dragons and earth dragons of Dragon King Castle all went out.
They stood on the wall, they used their dragon combat skills to attack the Beast Tide on the outer wall.
In less than half an hour, hundreds of monsters in the wild were killed.
As far as the eye could see, the walls were covered with the corpses of monsters. The blood had already soaked the mud into a dark red color!
Even the walls that were several meters tall seemed to have been sprayed with a layer of red paint.
In the entire Dragon King Castle, only Mike and a few of the militia members who had surrendered earlier had nothing to do.
Mike could not kill monsters. Those militia members did not have the strength to kill monsters.
However, they were also very brave. They stood outside the gate of the wall with weapons in their hands. Once a wild monster broke through the gate and rushed in, they would fight the monster to the death.
This was a reflection of loyalty reaching a certain level. If the loyalty was too low, the service members would lose the motivation to fight. Below 60 points, there was a high chance of defecting.
Of course, Mike had never been worried about this.
His dragon loyalty had always been at 100 points, loyal to the death, fanatical in his faith. The soldiers who had surrendered, with the help of the various buildings and faith, had over 90 points of loyalty. There was no chance of defecting.
“This is a little uncomfortable!” Mike’s mouth twitched.
As the Castle Lord, and a tier 8 powerhouse, he actually had nothing to do in the Beast Horde.
It had to be said that this was extremely awkward.
Of course, this also highlighted the strength of his dragon battle team. Up until now, there had not been a single wild monster that could break through the walls and enter his castle.
Even the bird-type monsters hovering in the air were noticed by Derek and the earth dragons, and they were all killed at once.
Mike also noticed that the earth dragons that were in the middle of the battle would occasionally glow. That was the phenomenon of leveling up.
Especially the earth dragons that were summoned with the help of the army number blueprint not long ago. They were the first to advance during the battle.
Their initial levels were not high, and the experience required to advance correspondingly was not much.
Hundreds of monsters of various levels in the wild had been killed, and the ‘experience points’ gained was enough to allow them to advance to a higher level.
“If nothing goes wrong… I can also advance to tier 9 during this Beast Tide!”
Mike was looking forward to it. A tier 9 lifeform could already be considered quite strong.
In the Endless Continent’s local forces, it would be a lord-level existence, qualified to become the chief of a small or medium-sized tribe.
If it was king-level, then it would be even stronger!
Mike estimated that during this Beast Tide battle, he had two giant dragons that could advance to king-level during the event.
They were the Nightmare Green Dragon Tyrell and the Undead Dragon Caesar.
Both of them were currently at the peak of tier 8. However, the Beast Tide this time was too large.
Just now, the two dragons each emitted a ball of light. This was the sign of advancement.
Just at the initial stage of the Beast Tide, Tyrell and Caesar, who were originally just a hair away from tier 9, had completed the advancement to tier 9.
In the following Beast Tide, the number of crazy monsters was still endless.
If they killed enough monsters, it was entirely possible for them to complete an entire stage and reach the king-tier!
In addition, the last of the three dragons, Barr, was not much weaker. His strength was originally at the middle-stage of tier 8.
Now that he had killed a large number of monsters, his strength had already reached the peak of tier 9.
After experiencing this monster horde, if he had killed enough monsters, it was not impossible for him to advance to the king-tier. It was just that it was a little difficult.
The only thing that made Mike uncomfortable was that he could not kill a single monster.
All of them had been snatched away by the dragons under his command!
Even if there were lone bird-type monsters attacking, the dragons would kill them at the first opportunity. The dragons did not give the bird monsters any chance to get close to him.
Mike was not a person who liked to fight, nor was he good at fighting. However, this feeling of not being able to get a single monster was still a little uncomfortable.
After all, he had made ample preparations and even used high-level defensive magic.
Not participating in the battle, not killing a few monsters with the Gnome Chieftain’s Sword in his hand. Then would all the preparations he had made before be meaningless?
Mike felt that he had to do something, so he shouted loudly.
“Derek, take down a monster and let me take care of it!”
“Yes, my Lord!”
Earth dragon general Derek flew high into the sky and grabbed a bird that seemed to be just passing by. He knocked it out with two punches.
Then, he dragged its wings and brought it in front of Mike.
“Here you are, my Lord!”
“For your safety, I knocked it out.”
“…”
Mike looked at the bird that was knocked out. He did not know whether to kill it or not.
In the end, he let out a long sigh. He stabbed out with his sword and sent it to its death.
Derek, the earth dragon general, had a look of respect on his face.
He looked at Mike and asked with a slightly hoarse voice, “My lord, do you still need Derek to catch more monsters?”
“Not yet.”
Mike waved his hand. “Go help the other dragons resist the Beast Tide!”
