Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 219 Varius
The merciless rain of arrows whistled up and down the city walls, like a sharp autumn wind blowing across the battlefield. The warriors and militias on both sides were like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, withering beside the tall city walls.

But the offensive of the defending army gradually weakened.

The shamans' spells killed a large number of defenders, and several areas on the city walls have become dead zones where no one is allowed to enter.

If those spores were not still spreading in the air, preventing the Kingdom Army from climbing up, they would have probably breached the defenses of Pankulu City long ago.

But even so, after the kingdom's army gathered its strength, the defenders had already fallen into a slump, and reached their lowest point after the other side brought in a huge siege cone.

In the nights before this, the kingdom's army had brought in siege cones several times, but they were all destroyed by the sudden appearance of the dragon. Therefore, they did not bother to bring them again.

But for some reason, they were not afraid this time.

The siege cone quickly approached the city gate, and the defenders discovered in despair that the red dragon that had been saving them had disappeared.

The deep drum beats intensified once again, beating out the footsteps of the charge. The high gongs and trumpets sounded, inspiring the killing intent of the Kingdom Army, and they all shouted in unison.

"Fight for God, die for God!"

Then, the Kingdom's soldiers rushed forward with enthusiasm. In the rain of arrows that temporarily stopped on the top of the city, the Kingdom's soldiers quickly climbed up the city, directly killed the soldiers who blocked their way, and climbed up the city wall in a moment.

At the same time, the city gate on the ground began to withstand the impact of the siege cone.

Once, twice, three times.
Soon, the city gate was broken!
The soldiers rushed towards the city gate like a tide, but the kingdom soldiers on the city wall behaved contrary to their usual behavior and shouted anxiously.

"Disperse! Disperse quickly!!!"

The soldiers at the back had no idea what was going on, but the soldiers at the front looked ahead with fear on their faces.

A gigantic red dragon was lying quietly at the end of the road connected to the city gate, its bloody mouth as wide open as the abyss, with tiny sparks of fire lighting up in its throat.

"boom!!!"

A terrible column of fire spurted out from the dragon's mouth and spread towards the city gate along the road at an extremely fast speed.

Hundreds of soldiers blocking the city gate were set on fire by the whistling flames before they could see what was happening, and were burned into fireballs in the hot molten metal.

Screams rang out one after another, and the terrifying dragon breath extended for hundreds of meters, burning all the soldiers behind the city gate. Due to the dense crowd, at least a thousand people died in the flames of Dironao.

"That devil! The devil appears!!"

The Red Dragon sighed as he heard the screams. He also wanted to run away, but just as he was about to escape, he was captured alive.

"The red dragon's breath is indeed quite powerful."

An interested voice came from above Dironao's head. The person with silver hair and purple eyes was Nemesis.

Dironao gave a wry smile and didn't say anything. When he just escaped, the human named Guerrero actually brought his master with him, causing him to be captured alive on the spot. He didn't dare to say much now for fear of being punished.

Nemesis looked at the road in the distance ravaged by flames and waved his hand. Soon, thousands of vanguard knights appeared behind the dragon and formed a human wall to block the road.

There are three roads in Pankuru leading to the pyramid in the center of the city. The one Nemesis was on was the shortest and the one that faced the city gate. The flames destroyed a large number of soldiers, but soon countless soldiers filed in from outside the city gate. The soldiers who climbed up the city wall also climbed into the city and began to attack in three directions.

The other two roads had the least number of people, but the road where the red dragon was located was the target of the large army, which surprised Nemesis.

Originally, he thought that these soldiers would definitely retreat when they saw such a huge red dragon, and attack from the other two routes. He also specially made a large number of magic traps there, waiting for them to step on them.

I didn't expect these soldiers to choose this place.

"Humph!"

Realizing that the other party looked down on him, Dironao snorted coldly. Just as he was about to continue spitting flames, suddenly an extremely huge magical power approached rapidly from the sky. The next moment, the red dragon's body flashed and disappeared.

"What! [Labyrinth Technique]?!" Nemesis was shocked as his body fell to the ground due to losing his mount.

As a scroll dragon who is proficient in all kinds of spells, Nemesis immediately recognized the spell that drove the red dragon away, even though he was unable to use it. It was the eight-ring spell [Labyrinth]!
This spell is a very powerful spell that will temporarily exile the recipient to an alien maze. The recipient can only return to the original place unless the red dragon can walk out of the maze or wait until the spell expires.

Nemesis looked up at the sky and found a man in a black robe standing in the sky, pointing his finger at him, with a magical afterglow glowing at his fingertips.

It was the spell he cast.

After Varius dealt with the red dragon, he glanced indifferently at the silver-haired man on the ground, with a hint of interest in his eyes.

He can actually stand on the head of an extremely old red dragon. What is the relationship between this wizard and that dragon?
Varius was a little curious, and he was eager to find out the secret of how the other party could get along so well with the five-colored evil dragon.

As for the other party being the master of the red dragon? This ridiculous thought had never occurred to Varius.

"Ferran?" Varius asked uncertainly, looking at Nemesis' fair skin.

Nemesis saw that the strange man in the sky not only used the [Labyrinth Technique] to make the red dragon disappear, but also knew that he was from Faerun.
Seeing the other person's equally fair skin, Nemesis realized that the other person was a Furen person who, like Varosan, had luckily arrived in the alien continent before the arrival of the Golden Legion.

"Yes, I belong to the Golden Legion of the Amn Empire. Mage, why do you want to help these natives?"

Nemesis naturally raised the banner of the Empire of Am. He believed that as long as one was a native of Faerun, everyone knew the name of Am.

Varius was shocked. The Empire of Amn? The Golden Legion? What did this mean?

He knew about the Empire of Amn, the most powerful nation in the Sword Coast, but what was the Golden Legion?
Varius realized that in the twenty years since he came to the New World, some earth-shaking changes might have taken place in Fuerun.

"I'm sorry. A long time ago, I went out to sea and got separated from my friends. I ended up stranded on the continent of Maztec. I'm not very clear about the Golden Legion you mentioned." Varius shook his head slightly, apologetically.

Nemesis looked at him deeply. A wizard who could perform the maze spell must be very powerful. Living in a foreign continent? He didn't believe it.

"The Golden Legion is an expeditionary force sent by the Empire of Amn to this continent. It is also an army formed by the forces in the Sword Coast region. The Niksaran region will soon be under the rule of the Golden Legion. I suggest that you release the red dragon immediately." Nemesis chuckled.

Varius' heart tightened when he heard this. The Golden Legion was coming here?

No! The Dragon Mother's mission has not been completed yet. The people of the Am Empire are not as easy to fool as these natives. If they discover my true identity
There was a gleam of ferocity in Varius' eyes, and he secretly made up his mind that he could not allow the people of Am to gain a foothold here, as they would ruin his mission!
