Chapter 509: 497 The Gods Reappear_1
 

The individual strength of the Children of War was indeed strong, but as could be seen from the current situation, they also had significant limitations.

Simply put, the Children of War lacked long-range attack methods.

From start to finish, Otto had been paying attention to these special individuals who were strong, fearless, and grew more courageous in battle.

But even though they looked slightly better than the Dragon Slumber Army, most of them were mindless and only knew brute force.

In fact, they were a lot like berserkers.

Only the front row fought desperately against the worthless undead. Because these individuals were powerful, they eradicated the low-level undead effortlessly, making them look intimidating.

But in reality, their efficiency was nothing special because only the strongest Children of War could achieve decent results.

As for those who were positioned further back, they could only watch in vain.

So, although the undead army’s losses were severe, it was mostly the low-level undead at the forefront.

For these kinds of creatures, Otto wouldn’t feel heartache if they all perished.

If he could use them to trade for the Children of War, no matter what the ratio of battle losses were, it would be worth it.

Moreover, as higher-level undead like Wraiths and skeletal mages appeared, the situation of the Children of War became even more difficult.

If the current trend continues, it would only be a matter of time before Lima Fortress is taken.

However, the situation would surely not be that simple. Many red dots were rapidly approaching from the inside of Lima Fortress, according to Otto’s senses.

Some of these red dots were quite significant in Otto’s perception abilities, indicating their formidable strength.

There were three red dots that posed unimaginable danger, beyond the scope of the average powerful individual on the continent.

From the enemies Otto had encountered before, only deity-level individuals could compare to them.

It seemed like some old friends would be seen today.

Upon thinking of this, Otto’s expression became more lively against his will.

From the current battlefront, although the losses of the Children of War were rising, the front line was constantly moving out of the city.

At the same time, Otto looked towards the city of Lima Fortress, and found a completely different force rapidly approaching.

It was…

With narrowed eyes, Otto smirked when the forces approached.

He didn’t expect it to be an elite group of well-equipped Dore warriors.

They were all old acquaintances, and it seemed the Spider Goddess had contributed a lot to the defense of Lima Fortress.

No wonder Otto had always felt a familiar smell on the walls of the fortress, presumably because these Dore people made some modifications there.

As for the teleportation gates inside Lima Fortress, they seemed to be prepared for these Dore people.

After all, the Dore’s main base was in the Dark Domain. If they wanted to migrate a large number of them to the surface, targeted teleportation gates would naturally be the best choice.

Behind the Dore warriors, there were well-equipped elite longbowmen.

Although they looked frail, these Dore longbowmen were much more terrifying than human longbowmen.

They had terrifying shooting accuracy, and they were all experts in close combat.

Not only were there Dore warriors and longbowmen, there were also quite a few Dore mages and priests.

It seemed the Spider Goddess had really gone all out to deal with Otto.

An army of Dore on this scale probably accounted for almost half of the Dore population in the Dark Domain.

Under the guidance of their commander, this Dore army quickly joined the battle as allies of the Children of War.

The Dore warriors stood aside, watching, as they risked being accidentally injured if they were too close to the crazed Children of War.

As for the Dore longbowmen and other ranged attackers, they didn’t hesitate to launch attacks on the undead army. With the aid of ranged troops, the real battle losses of both sides began to equalize.

In response to this situation, the undead army loyal to Otto began to deploy elite undead units such as Death Knights and Witch Demons into battle.

However, the real trouble was still to come.

“Roar!”

Soon, terrifying dragon roars came from various places within Lima Fortress.

Before long, Otto saw dozens of colorful evil dragons flying out of the city.

With their numbers and size, it was surprising that they had managed to hide in Lima Fortress for so long without being noticed.

If Otto remembered correctly, the Western Empire had hunted many true dragons in order to create the Dragon Slumber Army.

Under such circumstances, it should have been impossible for the dragons to establish a cooperative relationship with the Western Empire due to their enmity.

It seemed that the Mother of Evil Dragons had also played a significant role in this.

In this case, the enmity between dragons and Otto was more important to the Mother of Evil Dragons than the humans who had hunted true dragons.

However, even with the Mother of Evil Dragons’ suppression, making the naturally lawless evil dragons coexist peacefully with the Western Empire humans who once hunted true dragons was extremely difficult.

It was estimated that many offerings had already been made to the Western Empire to appease these evil dragons.

But this was not something Otto needed to worry about. Watching the colorful evil dragons wreak havoc in the sky without discerning between friend and foe, using their breath weapons, Otto slightly sighed.

At this level of power, they didn’t yet deserve his attention.

Without Otto giving a command, the Frostfire quickly led a large group of undead dragons to meet them.

Although undead dragons usually wouldn’t be a match for ordinary dragons, there were many more undead dragons in this case.

As more strange troops joined the battle, the battlefield became even more chaotic.

For the moment, both sides were evenly matched, but the losses were enormous.

Countless undead and other creatures perished in this brutal war every second.

However, even with the severe losses of the undead army, Otto had no intention of personally intervening.

His eyes remained fixed on the city, where a robust red dragon was staring coldly at him, its eyes full of provocation.

The red dragon emitted a familiar presence. If nothing went wrong, the Mother of Evil Dragons must have descended to the mortal world using it as a conduit.

Next to the red dragon stood a towering knight clad in heavy armor and a graceful Dore priestess wearing daring attire.

It seemed both the God of War and the Spider Goddess had arrived as well.
