Chapter 518 - 277: Are You Trying to Hit My Head?

Unlike Laisa’s excitement and thrill, everyone else in the squad, including Raine, frowned deeply.

Originally, Raine had snuck in alone, completely unnoticed. But now? The black dragon coming in this direction was not a good sign. The powerful forces of the Urein Empire following to hunt the black dragon would inevitably arrive soon.

In other words, if they attacked the fleeing black dragon, they would just be helping the Urein Empire for free.

Moreover, the outcome of this help might not be favorable. Once the enemy finished off the black dragon and had free hands, given the Urein Empire’s domineering nature, they might all end up as captives.

"Do you have Any Door Scrolls?" Raine immediately looked at Keller and Creet.

"Yes, we all have one."

"Alright, hide to the side first. If something goes wrong, find an opportunity to use the Any Door Scroll to leave, loop around and return to the surface."

Raine quickly said.

"Raine, what about you?"

"I also want to observe the situation of the black dragon first. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine."

Just as Laisa wanted to ask something, Raine quickly waved his hand, signaling everyone to hide immediately.

...

Not far away.

"Whew~~~"

Kobatain slightly calmed his breathing, loosened his grip on the Two-Handed Greatsword, looked ahead at the fast disappearing massive figure, and showed a hint of regret on his solemn face.

Although dozens of the elite of the Empire’s Fourteenth Legion were still in hot pursuit, he knew well that even if they managed to encircle and intercept successfully, the elite of the Fourteenth Legion he led would suffer heavy casualties.

This was quite different from their initial expectations.

Luckily, the black dragon’s right wing had already been pierced by the Empire’s alchemical treasure Dragon-breaking Crossbow, and together with a heavy slash, it couldn’t fly, so they’d eventually catch up.

Thinking of this, Kobatain couldn’t help but recall what the paladin of the Wings of Blaze, Karaman, said to him a few days ago.

If it weren’t for the interference from several High-tier Priests from the Drow city of Belendaan, forcing him to send the main force of the Wings of Blaze to block them, there wouldn’t have been such a slip-up, allowing the black dragon to barely escape.

The accompanying High-tier Priest wouldn’t have been gravely injured and comatose either.

They wouldn’t have had to launch an attack before completely clearing out the black dragon’s subordinate leaders.

If he remembered correctly, the Drow family from Belendaan seemed to be called the Breagan Family.

If there was a chance, he would definitely eliminate them completely!

As he thought about this, Kobatain, who had finished adjusting his breath, was about to give chase when suddenly, his adjutant hurried over, looking anxious:

"General, urgent news, a squad of Drow elite appeared to the south, led by a High-Tier Transcendent Drow Priest."

"What? The south? Isn’t that the direction where Black Dragon Soron fled?"

"Yes! According to... from the family emblem on their attire, it seems to be the second-ranked Hernet Family among the Drow Elves!" The adjutant added another piece of heavy information.

This changed Kobatain’s expression drastically!

In an instant, he connected many things, first the Breagan Family of Drow Elves that appeared on the west, and now the second-ranked Hernet Family of Drow Elves appearing too. He couldn’t believe for a second that there was no connection!

Seeing that the two families were acting in unison, their goal was apparent, they were definitely there to disrupt their plan this time.

Considering the information he reviewed before the operation, Kobatain knew that there often existed some level of cooperative relationship between the black dragon and the Drow Elf families.

This made him more certain that the appearance of the Drow Elves from two different families at this time must be to disrupt the Empire’s plans and to rendezvous with and aid Black Dragon Soron.

This meant that his action this time might completely fail.

All the early investments and sacrifices would all go down the drain.

He would also inevitably face punishment from the great Emperor Taros III of the Empire!

This result was unacceptable!

"Go! At all costs, break through their obstructions, we must catch up with and hold back Black Dragon Soron!"

"Yes, General!"

"Also, immediately contact the Wings of Blaze, tell them to ignore the Drow Elves of Belendaan and come back to aid and kill the black dragon right away!"

"Yes, General!"

Kobatain had already prepared for the worst in his heart at this moment.

Even if the retreat of the Wings of Blaze led to the two sides of Drow finally merging, and ultimately a chaotic battle ensued with the Empire, this result would be better than letting the black dragon completely escape and conceal itself.

The task must be completed!

"Bang!"

The ground instantly caved in a large pit, as Kobatain, holding the Great Sword and clad in heavy plate armor, shot towards the black dragon like a cannonball!

Meanwhile, Black Dragon Soron was fleeing in a sorry state.

Suddenly!

Its massive body paused slightly as it gazed at the two figures appearing ahead, and said in a deep voice, "Drow, have you also allied with the surface humans?"

"No, esteemed Soron Nairthus, we are here to assist you, Siriel of the Hernet Family greets you." As she spoke, High-tier Priest Siriel raised her hand towards the black dragon.

The next second!

The numerous damaged scales and ripped flesh on the black dragon’s body started being surrounded by clouds of Erosion Energy, rapidly stopping the bleeding and healing!

Even the left wing that had just been severed, though still unable to fly, at least didn’t hurt as much now.

Realizing that the Drow ahead didn’t seem hostile based on their behavior, Black Dragon Soron relaxed slightly as it sped up its escape, but immediately raised its guard again!
