XVIII. The Night of the Fighting

"Ready my lady the Greaters Dragons from the north, south, and east are coming here in their search, Great Captain Rellix" the dragon informs its leader.

"Perfect," she prepares a different sword to face them "make sure our spy continues to report on their movements, I don't want Magarai to suddenly decide to go on a zombie mission with her little daughter while I snatch the relic from her and her life. "

The captain's allies shout with pride in favor of her captain's orders, tonight would be an important one for her and therefore everything had to go according to plan. Calling attention to the great warriors who posed a great threat like the Greaters Dragons was a key move to make sure no one protected the human, they just had to hope that the skeletal dragons and their zombies did their part well.

The different Greaters Dragons were already gathered and ready to attack together, in a few seconds all the warriors were greeted by a rain of arrows, fireballs, sharp winds, and boiling water against them. The army of the Greaters Dragons react to attacks and respond in the same way to each attack, Magarai did not find it a great challenge to dodge arrows, fire, water, and fierce winds. The style of the oceanic consisted of the great ease in mobility and agility of the species, this provided the best evasive tactics against projectiles; with her speed, she approached with the other warriors who managed to avoid the projectiles to kill some of the enemies against her kingdom and her peace.

"Magarai doesn't stray too far from the formation!" shouts Trilliux who was worried about his partner without losing sight of the attacks that were going against him.

"Before you worry about Magarai you better worry about yourself !!" yells Sisser combining her arrows with her wind attacks to direct where the arrows should hit. "If anyone should care about her tail, that is not Magarai !!" She affirmed stopping an arrow from her by grabbing it from her and with a quick movement she puts it on her crossbow and uses it to attack the one who shot her.

Trilliux tries to say something, but both dragons are silenced with the orders of a Greater Dragon of the winged ones who needed support from them. Magarai wanted to finish this as soon as possible, the risk of releasing Captain Rellix was enormous failing was not an option, she cut, broke hanged every enemy that was put in front of her. Even so, the oceanic dragon did not lower their guard, they paid attention to her surroundings and what her instincts warned him. She struck a balance between her control of the situation along with the strength and fury that she released to attack, Magarai made no mistakes in her movements, each attack was well thought out and she only struck when she made sure to find the window of adequate opportunity.

Of all the Greaters Dragons that were fighting on the site, Magarai was the oldest of all and therefore had more experience than anyone in the field of combat. Rellix's group were rapidly losing her companions to these formidable warriors, but none compared to the great strength and determination of the oceanic dragon with every attack she made, fewer warriors who could face her there were.

"Rellix, get out of where you are !!" she yelled, snapping the neck of an enemy soldier with her tail.

"As deadly as ever Magarai." says the captain applauding her opponent "You are still skilled at killing more than thirty dragons before going straight to the leader, I thought motherhood would soften you up a bit" she draws her sword to attack the oceanic dragon to which she blocks with ease.

"If you can't connect a cut with your sword, better be quiet before talking about the abilities of others" Magarai pushes Rellix to keep distance between the two.

"If I wanted to kill you I would have already done so, but it would take away the fun because you wouldn't suffer watching your loved ones die before you die." With a quick movement that female signals to her companions who were dying and begin to explode out of nowhere, killing some nearby warriors and injuring others.

"What the hell?!!" Magarai observes the explosions in shock and is almost cut her throat by her enemy, luckily a Greater Dragon companion protects her with her shield.

"Magarai do not lose sight of the enemy" mentioned that little dragon.

"Right, thanks Nemari" she focuses her gaze on Rellix "I don't know what went into your head to do such tactics, but treating your troops like expendable meats is not the best way to win a fight."

"Hahaha who needs to win this stupid fight when what matters is to win a war. My dear Greaters Dragons, you can't even imagine half of the horrors I have planned for the King and the kingdoms, haha when I get hold of the four key pieces of my victory. Not even you can stop me hahaha "The dragon is stabbed in the back by one of his soldiers. She turns around spitting blood wondering about this act of betrayal, that traitor takes off the helmet of the anarchist army and reveals that it was Ssaull who had infiltrated to attack her from the inside.

"Ssaull?"

"Ssaull !!" shouts Nemari glad to see him.

"Maybe you guys like to fool around, but I don't and this creature is not even Captain Rellix" the dragon kicks the captain's face by removing her helmet, the female dragons are surprised to see that it was a dragon with features of the terrestrial race and white in color, it did not fit at all with the appearance of the great captain Rellix.

"But she talks about her like her, she sounds like her. From her ancestors how?" Magarai wondered.

"That's why the dragons are far behind me hahaha" the three of them observe the dragon revealing a kind of high-frequency communicator.

"That's.."

"Yes, something developed based on the technology of humans and part of the dragon" Ssaull clarifies, not at all surprised.

"As knowledgeable as ever Ssaull, the dragon who invented a boomerang fighting style for your race. I am happy that despite your self-banishment, you are still the best of all warriors in the Greater Dragons ranks, well after Magarai. "

"Whatever. What's your fucking psycho plan?" demands the dragon stepping on the arm of the other who was pretending to be Rellix.

"Simple, let them die while I do more important things than watch them die. Now !!" the white dragon with his tail removes a safety that he was hiding on his chest.

The three dragons reacted fast to the enemy's action, they moved away quickly and a few seconds later there was a big explosion, they came out of it well, they were only slightly injured by the explosion, but it could have been worse if they had not reacted in time. The few who survived the blasts rallied to the Greater Dragon to avoid further blast casualties. Rellix's few soldiers took advantage of the chaos and confusion to pass themselves off as dead and go unnoticed, taking advantage of the fact that the Greater Dragons weren't known to check or dispose of corpses, so when they were completely sure to move, they would meet up with his captain in one of his many hiding places. The Greater Dragons along with the few survivors of their enemies' explosions were tending to their wounds and guarding the area while the wounded were treated.

"Daughter of a lizard !!" yells Magarai kicking an arm off the ground.

"Wow Magarai that is frustration," says Ssaull and in the blink of an eye, he was on the ground with her pointing her sword at his face.

"Greater Magarai, stop !!" the dragon oceanic holds the tail of her companion "It is Ssaull, our Greater Dragon companion of the skeletons."

"This piece of manure is not ours" she clarifies.

"What do you mean not?" Nemari pushes Magarai away from the dragon skeleton who is still not moving. "Ssaull is supposed to be one of the strongest Dragon Greaters in the north. Your companion and companion of all." the dragon affirms to the warrior.

"Long ago he abandoned the Greater Dragons and killed several of ours, all in one night" Sisse explained as she approached seeing how Ssaull seemed to be calm and unafraid of being surrounded by former companions. "Should you always behave as if nothing matters to you?" she asks her upset to see Ssaull so carefree.

"Calm beautiful little dragon, I don't always behave like that, other times things matter a little to me or I care completely, it all depends on the moon and the stars" he yawns and leaning to one side with his back to everyone.

"But you will be a bastard."

"Tell me it's not true Ssaull." Nemari pleads with the blue dragon who does not turn to see her.

"Hey bastard, your old sub captain is talking to you. Have at least the decency to answer him" Magarai demanded stepping on his tail, which annoys him and hurts the dragon.

Ssaull removes Magarai's feet from his tail with a kick and gets up off the ground shaking off the dust and walking to be face to face with Magarai, both of them seemed to have a gaze duel to demonstrate his dominance and strong wills.

"Captain Rellix rarely manifested after three years of being missing." mentions his former teammates, but they seem not to understand that guy's thoughts. "Tonight it worries me a lot, and that Rellix has shown up only makes that restlessness worse."

All the dragons were made up of different groups, each one being led by a guild leader skilled in advanced leadership and high-stakes combat; Thanks to the explanations and preparation led by Commander Sur'Xhe, the morale of each warrior was high and they were more than ready to face the horde of zombies led by the skeletons. Alexandra was lucky to be in Commander Sur'Xhe's group, although more than luck, he had a certain order to keep an eye on her and avoid possible internal conflicts due to her being the only human among a group of dragons. All this was due to the rumor of her mission against anarchist guilds and the death of a great captain of an important guild.

"They're coming !!" shouted one of the warriors pointing to the horizon.

"How many are they? A hundred? A hundred and fifty?"

"They look like more than three hundred zombies" he mentions, dropping the telescope in fear.

"Three hundred? You don't know what you're saying boy." was the reaction he received from his classmates.

"It doesn't matter if it's three hundred, five hundred, or even thousands." Sur'Xhe moves with his horse from group to group "We are great dragon warriors and we have been in front of danger more than once, be it zombies, other dragons, or even unknown monsters. There are no stronger and more skilled beings for him. combat and battles like us dragons "He stops in front of everyone" If tonight we are going to die, we will die fighting with dragon pride until the bloody end !! ". They all scream fierce and ready to fight.

In some groups some dragons were already preparing their weapons and arrows, while others were channeling their elemental strength in case of a serious situation; but a few had their eyes on Alexandra, there was some reward from an unknown dragon for eliminating her. They felt that they would win this fight easily because of the great formations and perfect strategy they had in place, therefore making extra money and getting rid of a human would be a great bonus for them. Alexandra observes each dragon that was around her, I imagine that this was what her mother must feel in her first beginnings as a warrior, missions, fights, and the fear of dying; all were feelings that she had already faced since she began with her affair and that she still seemed not to have completely used to her.

"Whatever happens Alexandra do not get away from me" Commander Sur'Xhe commented to her. The human only nods her head following orders but without letting her guard down "Wait." she watched as the horde approached with relative speed, when the enemy came to step on a certain point, some of them fell into holes with stakes in the background "NOW !!".

Ten groups made up of twenty dragons ran towards the enemy to fight, with the traps that they had set they managed to considerably reduce the number of enemies, but those that did not fall were still moving and they had to eliminate them and win that battle.
