Although there were sporadic arrows falling on the shore, it was still some distance away from the main human defense line and was relatively safe.
"Yes!" The two dog-eared girls in charge of the steering responded and moved. They skillfully manipulated the rudder and controlled the warship to slowly approach the shore.
The ship drew a graceful arc on the water and slowly deviated from the route of the main fleet.
The other dog-eared soldiers also acted quickly, some folded the sails, some prepared to drop anchor, their movements were neat and orderly.
As soon as everyone got off the boat, a deafening explosion was heard on the river, and the rumbling sound echoed in the air.
That was the sound of the Lizardmen's warships crashing into huge wooden piles underwater, the hull was torn apart, wood chips flew everywhere, and flames shot into the sky.
Zhang Luan stood on the shore, watching the battle on the river intently.
To his surprise, even though the warship was destroyed, the Lizardmen and their velociraptors were able to move freely in the water.
These creatures were as agile as fish in the water, diving quickly and swimming towards the bottom of the human warships.
The dark scales sparkled with a faint light, and the tail splashed with water as it swung.
Suddenly, a dazzling magical light appeared underwater.
The explosive magic exploded under the boat, shaking the entire river surface.
One after another, human warships began to tilt and slowly sank into the water.
Panicked, human soldiers fell into the water one after another. Their heavy armor became a deadly burden. Some were dragged to the bottom of the river and drowned, while others were easily torn apart by the lizardmen in the water. Screams and cries for help rang out one after another, but were soon swallowed by the current.
The human navy was instantly defeated, and the remaining warships collided with each other in panic, and the scene was in chaos.
At this moment, countless lizardmen suddenly jumped out of the water, like arrows shot from a bow, and rushed straight towards the human camp on the shore.
Water was still dripping from their scales, but their movements were not affected at all. The weapons in their hands were shining coldly and were unstoppable.
The human soldiers obviously did not expect the enemy to launch an attack from the water, and their formation was instantly broken up.

Chapter 285
The soldiers of Cao fled in all directions and the camp was in chaos.
At this moment, the huge dinosaur under Celia's crotch let out an earth-shaking roar, the sound full of bloodthirsty fury.
Following this command, the velociraptor cavalry, which had been ready for a long time, quickly assembled.
Chapter 294 Zhang Luan’s Prey
The Lizardmen Knights mounted their mounts, holding spears, and formed a massive pursuit force.
They followed the traces left by the fleeing human army, chasing them like a pack of wolves hunting.
Wherever they passed, they left behind broken corpses and the blood dyed the mud on the river bank red.
At the same time, the Lizardmen infantry began to land in an orderly manner.
They calmly arranged their formation, wiped their weapons, and then formed into neat square formations, advancing steadily towards the royal city.
Their shields formed a wall and their spears resembled a forest, emitting a chilling murderous aura.
Unlike the fleeing humans, this army displayed amazing discipline, with every step being in perfect alignment, displaying the demeanor of an elite force.
Zhang Luan looked at all this and couldn't help but gasp.
The Lizardmen's combat effectiveness far exceeded his imagination, especially their advantage in water, which completely subverted the traditional combat methods.
Now he was even more grateful for his decision to go ashore early, otherwise, with the destruction of the Lizardman warship, he would probably have become a ghost at the bottom of the river like those human soldiers.
"The Lizardman army has begun to attack the city. Should we join in?" Aisilia looked at the battlefield in the distance, excitement flashing in her eyes.
In the light of the fire, her golden ponytail fluttered in the wind, and the weapon in her hand unconsciously tightened a little, obviously her fighting spirit was ignited by the fierce battle scene.
Zhang Luan shook his head, a meaningful smile on his face: "We won't join in the fun, but... Mila!" His voice was very soft, as if it was just a casual call.
Although he couldn't see Mira around, he knew that the shadow guard leader must be guarding nearby like a shadow.
Sure enough, "Master!" Mira's figure suddenly emerged from the crowd, as if appearing out of thin air.
She knelt on one knee and performed a standard etiquette to Zhang Luan, her black shadow guard uniform almost blending into the shadows around her.
"Bring some shadow guards and apprehend the eldest prince. Keep him alive. I need to ask him something!" Zhang Luan's voice remained calm, but it carried an unquestionable command. This chaotic moment was the perfect time to act.
"I understand. I'll do it right away!" Mira replied, then took a few steps back. Her figure gradually faded and finally disappeared completely in the shadows.
Under normal circumstances, a task like capturing the eldest prince would be extremely difficult. The palace is heavily guarded inside and outside, and just sneaking in requires careful planning.
But now it is different. The attack of the Lizardmen has plunged the entire city into chaos. The royal defense force must have been dispersed, and the garrison in the city has also been transferred to defend the city.
There were constant shouts and explosions in the distance, flames shooting into the sky, and thick smoke billowing.
The entire royal city was shrouded in tension and panic. The streets were full of civilians running around in panic, and soldiers were nervously preparing on the city walls.
No one will notice the shadow guard lurking in the dark, so this is the best time to take action.
The battle lasted for a long time, from dusk to dawn, and the whole city was shrouded in smoke and flames.
The Lizardmen's attack was unstoppable, and their amazing fighting power caught the defenders completely off guard.
By noon the next day, when the last human flag was torn to pieces, the royal city, which was said to be impregnable, finally fell.
During the battle, the Lizardmen displayed astonishing climbing abilities. They did not need any siege equipment, relying solely on their sharp claws to move freely on the nearly vertical walls.
The human soldiers defending the city then discovered in despair that the city defenses they were so proud of were as fragile as children's building blocks in front of these natural climbers.
After the battle, Zhang Luan received an invitation and came to the harem in the royal city.
The scene here made him slightly stunned: the princesses who were once high and mighty were now all tied up with thick ropes, kneeling on the ground in the most shameful posture.
Their exquisite clothes were already torn to pieces, their lower bodies were trembling slightly in the air, and tears of humiliation were in their eyes.
Behind them stood a row of burly lizardman generals.
These conquerors gazed greedily at the spoils in front of them. Their heavy breathing echoed in the hall. Their lower bodies were ready to go, but they were still much smaller than Zhang Luan's.
"Choose one, Earl Zhang Luan." Celia leaned lazily on the throne, with obvious sarcasm in her voice.
She seemed to be implying that this was the price of not participating in the siege, and now she could only share in other people's spoils.
Zhang Luan glanced around, his eyes as calm as if he were looking at a pile of ordinary objects. "No, I didn't participate in the siege, and what I want more now is the dungeon. I'll withdraw first."
There was a hint of nonchalance in his tone, and it was clear that he had no interest in the beauty before him.
"It's up to you." Celia nodded meaningfully, then waved to the generals who had been waiting for a long time.
Having received permission, the lizardman generals immediately rushed towards the delicate princesses like hungry tigers.
Their terrified screams and the lizardmen's heavy breathing mixed together and echoed in the hall.
Zhang Luan turned and left calmly.
The sound coming from behind him seemed to be non-existent to him, his mind had already flown to the dungeon.
If my guess can be confirmed, the existence there is far more valuable than these princesses!
Zhang Luan arrived at the entrance of the dungeon, which was completely controlled by his dog-eared girl troops.
When Aisilia, who was guarding the door, saw him, she immediately trotted over to greet him, her golden twin ponytails shaking slightly, showing her happy mood.
"Sir, the lizardmen only made a symbolic inspection at the cell door for a moment before leaving. By now, most of the jailers have escaped, and the rest have surrendered to us."
Aisilia followed Zhang Luan, reporting the situation in detail as they walked.
The dungeon is a large underground building, divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower.
The upper level holds some minor criminals, and the environment is relatively clean and tidy; the middle level holds serious criminals, and the cells are more solid and there are more guards; the lowest level is used to hold important political prisoners, and each cell is equipped with special magical restrictions.
A thin jailer stood trembling beside Zhang Luan, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "Sir, there are currently seventy-three prisoners on the upper level, thirty-five on the middle level, and only ten cells on the bottom level are in use."
"Milla!" Zhang Luan suddenly interrupted the jailer's introduction.
His voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable sense of command.
"Here I am, Master." Mira's figure emerged quietly like a ghost, her voice soft but full of confidence: "The eldest prince has been swapped with a thief by me. He is now in cell number 15."
"Crown Prince? How is that possible?!" The jailer's voice suddenly rose, and his eyes widened in disbelief. "We are heavily guarded here, how could there be a substitution?!" As he spoke, he led everyone to Prison No. 15 in a quick pace.
The iron door of the prison creaked open, and in the dim cell, a figure was tied to a cross.
He was wearing only a pair of ragged shorts, his naked upper body was covered with fresh whip marks, and his head hung limply.
"See, I told you..." The jailer walked forward confidently and lifted the prisoner's chin with the whip in his hand.
However, before he could finish his words, his voice stopped abruptly, and his whole body froze in place as if struck by lightning.
In the dim
Chapter 286
Under the illumination of the torch, the face covered with stains and blood was the unforgettable face of the eldest prince.
The jailer's mind went blank and he opened and closed his mouth several times but no sound came out.
He found it hard to understand when such a change had occurred in this cell that he had to inspect several times a day.
Behind him, Mila had a blank expression on her face, as if she thought this was a perfectly normal thing and not even worth being proud of.
"Splash water on him to wake him up." Zhang Luan said lightly, looking at the unconscious eldest prince.
"Yes, sir!" The jailer immediately brought a bucket of ice-cold well water and poured it on the eldest prince without any hesitation.
Jerison shuddered from the icy water and suddenly woke up.
"Don't kill me!" he shouted subconsciously, obviously still immersed in the fear of being caught.
When he saw that the person in front of him was a human and not a lizard man, his tense nerves relaxed slightly, but he immediately realized that he was tied to a cross.
Chapter 295 Survivors of the Golden Griffin
"How dare you! Do you know who I am? How dare you treat a member of the royal family like this!" Jerison immediately assumed a superior attitude, his voice filled with majesty, "I command you to let me go immediately, otherwise..."
"It seems you haven't figured out the situation yet." Zhang Luan snorted coldly, interrupting his scolding.
He turned to look at Aisilia beside him and said, "Give him a few whips to wake him up. Be gentle, we still have something to ask him."
Without saying a word, Aisilia took the whip from the jailer.
Although she restrained her strength as instructed, she was born with extraordinary strength. Even though she had restrained her strength, as the whip broke through the air and fell, it still left several shocking scars on the eldest prince's body.
"Ah!" Jerison let out a shrill scream.
He had been spoiled since childhood and had never experienced such pain.
The new whip marks were intertwined with the old wounds, and the blood beads that seeped out gleamed in the dim firelight.
He finally realized that the people in front of him were serious, and his arrogant expression was instantly replaced by fear.
Zhang Luan looked at the eldest prince's reaction with satisfaction.
At times like this, appropriate pain can indeed make people more honest.
He signaled Aisilia to stop, walked slowly to Jarison, and looked down at the once high and mighty prince.
"Are you going to tell it or not?" Zhang Luan suddenly asked.
The eldest prince raised his scarred face, his lips trembling with pain, his eyes flashing with fear and confusion: "Say...what did you say?"
Zhang Luan raised his eyebrows slightly, and a sneer appeared on his face.
In fact, he had no specific question in mind—that was his strategy.
Prisoners who are unaware of the specific issues often reveal more secrets out of fear.
"Still being stubborn." He slowly uttered three words and nodded slightly to Aisilia beside him.
"Snapped!"
The whip drew a graceful and deadly arc in the air, and then landed heavily on the eldest prince's skin.
The sound of the whip was like thunder, echoing between the stone walls of the dungeon.
"Ah!" Jerison let out a heart-wrenching scream, his body twisting in pain in the restraints.
Aisilia's movements were clean and smooth, without any hesitation.
It wasn't long before Jerison's resistance completely collapsed.
