I was a lord farming, how did I become an emperor?

Chapter 239 Isolse?

……

……

Arrows and spears tore through the night sky, whistling as they fell into the tents, killing many lizardmen while they were still asleep.

Those lizardmen who were lucky enough to survive hurriedly sought cover or simply burrowed into the ground to hide.

Rhodes' soldiers broke through the camp gates without any hindrance, their armor gleaming with metallic light, and like a tidal wave, they instantly engulfed the camp.

Without hesitation, the longsword pierced the chest of the lizardman who was still alive on the ground, while all the guys hiding behind the rocks were dragged out and killed one by one.

The soldiers showed no mercy to the man-eating lizardmen.

The sooner we resolve this, the sooner we can go home.

Thunderbolts would occasionally swoop down from the sky, slamming down the lizardmen soldiers and tearing them to shreds.

The behavior may seem extremely brutal, but for the Thunder, it's just a game of hunting.

Just like the reptilians hunting humans.

Even more brutal was Sejuani, the leader of the Snow Clan.

She rode a wild boar back and forth through the camp, charging wherever there were many lizardmen.

The chain hammer in her hands was like the Grim Reaper, reaping the lives of the lizardmen with madness.

The war was swift and devastating; the lizardmen had no chance to fight back.

Clearly, the main force left behind by the Bloodscale Tribe is likely waiting to ambush Rhodes in the west.

However, they did not expect that the traitor's acting skills were so poor that Rhode saw through him at a glance.

Rhodes followed at the back of the group, his cloak fluttering in the cold wind behind him.

Rhodes casually pulled a lizardman prisoner in front of him and questioned him in a cold voice.
"Where is your high shaman?"

"No...don't know..."

The lizardman swung his tail violently, trying to break free, but was firmly pinned down by the soldier.

Without any hesitation, Rhodes drew his soldier's longsword and instantly severed the lizardman's claws.

"what!"

The lizardman screamed and clutched his arm, his eyes filled with terror, yet he remained silent.

Rod wasted no time and shouted, "Bring a few more over!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The soldiers immediately responded and dragged all the captured lizardmen to Rhodes.

Before Rod could even ask, Gala rushed over and shouted a report.
"Holy Lord, there's a cave on the hillside behind us, but the entrance is blocked!"

Rhodes turned his head and questioned the four lizardman prisoners in front of him.

"Is the cave behind yours the residence of your great shaman?"

"do not know!"

"The great shaman has escaped!"

"no!"

……

The four lizardmen shook their heads in unison, and Rhodes immediately understood their answer.

"Knight Squad, follow me!"

Rhodes turned and pointed directly at the cave behind him!
They were all silent just a moment ago, but now they all answered Rod's question at once.

Clearly, the cave was the residence of the great shaman!

São led his knight squad swiftly into the cave and immediately spotted the altar inside.

The great shaman was lying in the center of the altar, raising his wrist to pour his own blood into the stone slab on the altar.

"Stop, you evil lizardman!"

Sao roared with disgust and rushed forward to pull the great shaman up.

Just as he reached out, the altar suddenly lit up with a red light, repelling Sao!

"idiot."

The great shaman glanced at Sao, then squeezed his wrist hard, making the blood flow faster!

Sao knew that the Great Shaman must be performing some kind of ritual, and without hesitation, he raised his longsword and slashed down!
"Oh!"

The red light reappeared, and Sao's longsword was still deflected, causing him to stagger back two steps!

"Step aside!"

Just then, Rhodes' voice rang out from behind, and Sao jumped aside without hesitation!
The next instant, a crimson light flashed across the sky like a shooting star!

"Ding!"

With a crisp sound, the red light on the altar was instantly shattered into dust, turning into starlight that scattered in the air!
"You deserve to die!"

The high shaman exclaimed in surprise, his face filled with shock!

The next instant, he raised the bone knife and slashed it across his own neck!

A torrent of blood gushed out instantly, spraying onto the altar!
The altar flashed with a blood-red light once more!

Rod frowned, realizing something was wrong.
"Take him away!"

Sao grabbed the great shaman by the ankle, lifted him up, and threw him aside!
"Ruined it!"

The knights rushed forward, using both hands and feet, and in the blink of an eye, they emptied the altar and kicked it to pieces.

São even scooped the blood out of the stone slab with his hands.

However, despite everyone doing everything they could, the stone still shimmered with a red light.

Scattered everywhere, they emitted low hums, like countless vengeful spirits chanting in unison.

Sao raised his longsword and smashed the skull into pieces. The stone slab shattered with a crackling sound, and all the blood dried instantly.

The red light on the stone suddenly contracted, like a flame being extinguished, and disappeared completely.

The knights breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Rhodes, awaiting orders.

Rhodes stared at the high shaman, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

This guy died so easily; I thought there would be a fierce battle.

And why did that old man commit suicide?

Part of a mysterious ritual?

Or is there some special secret?
Rhodes stared at the old shaman's corpse, then waved his hand.

"Take this old man's body out and store it separately."

Lizardman shamans, after all, know magic, so they should be more valuable than ordinary lizardmen.

"Search the cave thoroughly, inside and out. Move everything out, don't leave anything behind!"

"Yes, Lord Lord!"

The knights responded loudly and turned to enter the cave.

"Rumble--"

At that moment, a deep rumble came from the depths of the cave, and the ground trembled violently.

Dust fell from the cave ceiling, and the knights began to sway from side to side, unable to stand firm for a moment!

"earthquake?"

Rhodes frowned, a bad feeling rising in his heart!

"Fall back!"

His voice was urgent, carrying an unquestionable command.
"Quickly, get out of here!"

The knights quickly turned around and escorted Rhode away from the cave.

The ground shook more violently, and rubble rained down from the cave ceiling.

Dust billowed up, obscuring everything inside the cave.

The cracking sound of rocks breaking echoed continuously, the cave walls began to crack, and huge boulders crashed down.

With a deafening roar, Rhodes watched helplessly as the cave collapsed completely.

"Something's wrong!"

Without hesitation, Rhodes ordered, "Order all troops to retreat and get away from here!"

The cave couldn't have collapsed suddenly for no reason; there must be something fishy going on!

"It's the Lord!"

São immediately ran to the messenger, and the sound of the retreat horn resounded throughout the camp.

The battle was now drawing to a close, and the victory at Black Pine Ridge was irreversible.

The soldiers were puzzled when they heard the retreat horn.

However, the military discipline at Black Pine Ridge is strict, and obeying orders is the most basic requirement.

So even though they didn't understand the orders, the captains still shouted for the camp to be evacuated.

Just as Rhodes had predicted, the collapse of the cave was not the end of the tremors.

The tremors on the ground intensified, and then Rhodes saw several cracks appear in the ground in front of him, which spread rapidly in all directions like a spider web!
"boom--"

A deafening roar erupted instantly, and the land on the hillside was violently lifted up!
In an instant, gravel and dirt flew everywhere, and a chilling cold emanated from the crack!

"This……"

Rhodes felt a chill run down his spine; why did this feeling seem so familiar?

Thunder seemed to understand better than Rhodes, flapping its wings and landing directly beside Rhodes, its vertical pupils filled with fear, like a helpless child leaning against Rhodes!

"Oh!"

A giant dragon claw, as big as a carriage wheel, emerged from the ground and slammed into the earth!
"Oh!"

Another giant dragon claw bursts forth from the earth!

"Oh!"

Then came another loud bang, sending debris flying everywhere!

A majestic yet ferocious white dragon head burst forth from the earth!

"dragon!"

"It's the legendary dragon!"

"We're doomed now!"

"The warriors of Black Pine Ridge are fearless in the face of death!"

"It would be worth it to see a dragon before I die!"

……

The soldiers cried out in alarm, but no one flinched; they all stared wide-eyed at the dragon head in front of them.

Thanks to the "Commander's Might" attribute, the soldiers' morale was not dampened by the sight of the dragon.

The Bloodthirsty Commander's effect prevented the soldiers from being afraid of the dragon's appearance, allowing them to calmly assess everything.

Besides, the lord hasn't fled yet, so what am I afraid of?
"My lord!"

Gunle grinned widely, his eyes wide, and his voice booming.
"How the hell can a dragon grow out of this ground?!" Durant was equally shocked, but it didn't cloud his judgment.

"Archers and javelin throwers, aim at the dragon's head and fire freely!"

At Durant's command, the shocked soldiers reacted instantly, unleashing a barrage of arrows and spears at the dragon's head!

"Dang Dang Dang——"

The sound of metal clashing rang out one after another. Arrows and spears that could easily pierce the lizardmen's scales had no effect on the huge dragon head in front of them!
"this!"

Durant stared at the dragon head in disbelief and involuntarily took a step back!
The dragon is more powerful than the legends say!

"Roar!"

A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire Icefield Mountain Range. The white dragon head opened its eyes, its icy blue vertical pupils flashing with a cold, eerie light.

An immense, unparalleled pressure swept over like an invisible giant wave, causing everyone to instinctively retreat!

Even more serious cases involve people staggering and falling to the ground, unable to get up!

The surviving lizardman prisoners all knelt on the ground and worshipped the dragon's head, chanting words like "Great God" over and over again.

Only Rhodes remained standing, gripping the dragonbow and staring intently at the massive dragon head!

"Holy Lord, please leave quickly! I'll hold it off!"

São drew his longsword and leaped out, directly blocking Rhodes's path.

"I'll do it."

Vivian turned her head and brazenly turned Rhodes' face towards her. To Rhodes' astonishment, she kissed him forcefully, then walked confidently to the front.

"Anyway, I can do it again... I'll make it up to you then."

Vivian had a look on her face that said she was ready to die.

"Need not."

Rhodes chuckled and shook his head slightly. "You can all leave, except me."

"It's been staring at me."

If Rhodes hadn't sensed the opponent's aura lingering on him, he would have retreated upon seeing the first dragon claw.

According to previous intelligence, the lizardmen have been preparing to resurrect the white dragon they worship.

When the dragon claw appeared, Rhodes was basically certain of his fate.

However, it's normal for Bailong to be staring at him.

Having the attribute "Pseudo-Dragon Slayer," which naturally mocks unfamiliar dragons, the white dragon before him must be filled with hatred for him.

Fortunately, he didn't run away, which allowed Rhodes to notice the strangeness of the white dragon in front of him.

"OK then."

Vivian sighed, a hint of sadness in her eyes, and took Rhodes' arm.
"I will die with you."

"If you want to die, you can die. I prefer to live."

Rhodes stared at the white dragon, his mind racing.

The White Dragon, as the object of worship for the Bloodscale Tribe, can even fight against the Frost Goddess, so it must be a god-level being.

The oppressive aura just now only made ordinary people take a few steps back, and it didn't even affect me.

Even if you have the [Pseudo-Dragon Slayer] attribute, you can't directly withstand the pressure of a god, right?
Adding to the legends and the resurrection array that the lizardmen had destroyed recently, Rhode found the sudden appearance of the white dragon very strange.

After all, resurrecting a god-level dragon is no easy task.

"How dare you, you lowly and insignificant humans!"

The ferocious dragon head opened its blood-red maw, emitting hoarse and distorted sounds.

"I am the Judge of the Frost, the Cataclysm of the Ice and Blue Sky, the Guardian of the Lizardmen, the great ancient white dragon Isorther Saron!"

The deafening sound, carrying immense pressure, instilled fear in everyone, even causing the soldiers affected by the spell to involuntarily retreat.

"Kneel down and submit to me, and I will forgive the rudeness of you ants!"

The authoritative voice softened slightly, taking on a seductive tone that made everyone's legs go weak.

Just as everyone was about to kneel down, a stern and loud voice rang out.
"No kneeling!"

The familiar voice brought a sudden clarity to the soldiers' minds, and they instantly stopped in their tracks!

"Yes, we can't kneel!"

"If even the Holy Lord hasn't knelt, I won't kneel either!"

"Isol or whatever, I've never even heard of it!"

……

The soldiers' voices rang out, and their morale soared once more!
The dragon's ferocious eyes were instantly filled with rage, and its roar resounded once more.
"You human lord of Black Pine Ridge, you're asking for death!"

These words made Rhodes frown, and he couldn't help but tilt his head to stare at the dragon head, his last trace of fear vanishing.

"You are not Isolse."

Rhodes' lips curled up, a knowing smile spreading across his face.

"You're that great shaman... no wonder you slit your own throat!"

"No, I am the great Isolse!"

The white dragon roared angrily, "Not a great shaman!"

"No, you are the Great Shaman."

Rhodes laughed and said, "Isolther is an ancient being. It's impossible for him to have mastered the Imperial Common Language when he woke up, let alone know that I am the lord of Blackpine Ridge!"

"You are presumptuous!"

The white dragon roared again, "The great Isolther is beyond the comprehension of a human lord like you!"

"Oh?"

Rhodes looked at the white dragon,

How great is it?

"So much so that you only had your head sticking out, while your body remained buried underground?"

"Insolence! Human! I'll teach you a lesson!"

The white dragon opened its mouth and spewed a torrent of icy water towards Rhodes' location!

With lightning speed, Rhodes leaped to the side, the icy torrent grazing his body!

The icy aura made Rhodes shiver, and he almost slipped and fell!
However, Rhodes, who had regained his footing, was not panicked at all; instead, his smile grew even wider!
That was all the dragon could do!

Nothing to fear at all!

"In that case, then you die!"

Without hesitation, Rhodes raised the dragonbone longbow and drew the bowstring taut at the dragon's head!
"call!"

The crimson arrow tore through the night sky like a meteor, heading straight for the white dragon's head!

Just as the arrow was about to hit the dragon's head, a dragon claw blocked it!
"Oh!"

The crimson flames flickered for only a moment before extinguishing instantly.

With a loud crash, the dragon claw fell back to the ground.

"Human lord, you cannot kill me."

Bai Long's voice rang out again, this time with a touch more calmness.

“You are a clever fellow, but even if my divine power is exhausted, you still cannot destroy this body.”

"Submit to me, believe in me, Lord of mankind, become my chosen people, spread the faith for me, and build temples."

The white dragon's voice carried a hint of seduction, "Once I recover some of my divine power, I will bestow upon you immense strength, making you the most powerful being in this world besides myself!"

"I don't need your power, nor do I believe in anything."

Rhodes calmly stared straight at the white dragon.
"I just want to kill you and taste what you're like."

"Insanity!"

The white dragon roared again, "Insect, it is your honor to be my chosen one!"

"I told you, I can't hurt you, and you can't kill me either!"

"Submitting to me is your best choice!"

"Oh?"

Rhodes raised an eyebrow and stared directly at the white dragon.

"I will kill you today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Rhodes' aura surged dramatically!

……

……

Frosty Leaf Town.

In the lord's manor, in the bedroom.

Avril's fingers trembled as she turned the pages, her face filled with panic.
"The White Dragon is one of the five famous evil dragons, and is wicked and ferocious."

The White Dragon is the smallest, least intelligent, and most ferocious of the five-colored dragons.

They inhabit cold wilderness, polar ice fields, or high-altitude glaciers.

"No, none of these are worth it!"

Avril's voice trembled as she muttered to herself, continuing to turn the pages of the book.

"Weakness, where is the White Dragon's weakness?!"

Just as Avril was searching for the white dragon's weakness, Leah's shouts suddenly came from outside the door.
"Madam, something terrible has happened! The two pine trees that the master left outside have suddenly died!"

"If I'm dead, I'm dead. Don't bother me!"

For the first time, Avril reprimanded Leah in an unhappy tone, but her hands continued to move.

Leah's voice paused for a moment outside the door, then rang out again.

"Madam, please go and take a look! Suddenly all the leaves have fallen, and the tree trunks have all turned into dead wood!"

Leah's voice trembled, "The guards are very worried, is it possible that the legendary dark magic has invaded?"

The words "dark magic" made Avril's heart tighten.

Could it be that another assassin is coming at this crucial moment?
Or will other alien races attack Frostleaf Town?
Already somewhat flustered, Avril's thoughts became completely chaotic, and she grabbed the book and hurried out of the hall.

"Those are the two pine trees up ahead!"

Leah jogged to catch up, holding a torch to light Avril's way.

In the firelight, Avril immediately saw that the two pine trees that had been left uncut had completely withered and died!
It was even drier and more worn than firewood that had been stored for years, devoid of any sign of life!
"And the row outside the fence has also withered and died; it all happened in the blink of an eye!"

The guard beside him reported hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Avril's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, Leah, who was standing next to Avril, reacted quickly and caught her.

"This...this is a sign of fate...even the tree he kept has suddenly withered..."

Avril gave a wan smile and hurriedly checked the memories she shared with Vivian in her mind.

"Hey?!"

Upon seeing Avril sharing her memories, she suddenly stood up straight, her bright eyes sparkling with shock and joy!
