SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

fivehen Silva discussed the issues of the slaves with Drake and Elsa, they had saved over three hundred of them that night.

Ranging from several races, sexes, and ages, Silva decided that he would address them after the first wave of the battle where they would take down Blacklight.

So that morning, with an army of five hundred, a hundred hobgoblins, a hundred and fifty Minotaurs, hundred spiders, and a hundred and fifty demi-snakes, led by Drake, Jade, Selax, and Silva himself.

The first wave was only hitting one manor town, and so Silva decided that this would be the appropriate force.

At the break of dawn, Selax and Jade led the army towards the town, while Silva and Drake followed at a distance behind.

Drake wore a unique black ankle-length coat with a hood. He also wore a mask, and with his glowing red eyes, he looked striking.

Silva, on the other hand, wore his armor with his sword hung at his side.

Silva looked at Drake and couldn't help but ask, "Drake, you are a vampire; doesn't the sun affect you?"

"It does, but it only acts to weaken me, not kill or damage me. That's why my gear is like this; it stores darkness and allows me to walk under the sun without a power reduction.

But even without this gear, I would be able to walk under the sun and use about fifty percent of my power," Drake explained.

After a while of marching, Jade and Selax got closer to a small town on the way to Blacklight.

When the scouts of the town saw the incoming troops, one immediately dashed into the town and informed the captain of the city guards.

The captain, a burly man with slightly gray hair and a rough appearance, was drinking beer when the man barged into his office with the report.

He got up from his seat immediately when he heard that a non-human troop was headed for them.

"Go, tell the Baron about this immediately," the captain said in his rough, cracked voice. The guard nodded and ran out. The captain grabbed his sword, which leaned against the chair, and ran out as well.

He immediately went to their base and made a town-wide announcement using a voice-amplifying formation that was normally used for emergencies like this.

"Listen, citizens of Lagium. An enemy troop is headed this way. All citizens are to prepare for evacuation. If we are unable to stop the enemy, you will be evacuated to Blacklight.

As for all town guards, return to base now to prepare to counter the enemy."

After saying that, in less than ten minutes, the guards returned to their base and were ready to move out. They had close to five hundred men as well, and they hoped it would be enough to stop the enemy.

The only guards that were left behind were those that would help with the evacuation if the battle was to be a loss.

The entire troop marched out towards their enemy with vigor.

"It seems they are coming to us," Jade said.

"Humans are impatient; they couldn't even wait for us to get to them first," Selax said.

"Let's make Master proud, and then maybe we will get a reward from him personally," Jade said. She raised her hand to signal the troop and then brought it down.

Immediately after, the spiders began firing Mana-infused web bombs toward the town guards. The guards didn't know what was coming towards them, but they would still try to stop it regardless.

But as their shields and swords touched the web bombs, they exploded into a very sticky solution, making them unable to move freely at all.

Jade pointed forward again, and all the troops aside from the spiders charged into battle, with the Minotaurs taking the front line to break the enemy's defenses first.

They were like an unstoppable wind, slamming into the enemy and sending bodies flying. Using their brute strength, they hacked at the enemies, who were unable to fight back at all.

The hobgoblins and demi-snakes used the gaps created by the Minotaurs to attack, moving through and striking enemies down.

In less than a minute, the humans had lost a lot of their soldiers.

The captain of the guards looked around in confusion. The enemy was massacring them; this was no battle. But he was a warrior, and he would fight until his dying breath.

So he charged at top speed despite the sticky webs. Roaring from the bottom of his lungs, he set his sights on one Minotaur in front of him and went for the kill.

The Minotaur noticed him and swung his axe as well. Sword and axe collided, and the captain was pushed back.

But he refused to yield. He regained his footing, and with an even louder roar, he attacked again. The Minotaur blocked his attack and countered with a swing faster than the captain could see or react to.

The axe dug deep into his chest, leaving a gash several inches deep and blowing his body away.

But despite this, the captain stood up. He stood with a smile. The Minotaur saw this and couldn't help but speak.

"I admire your strength, warrior. You are indeed a fighter. And so, to respect you, my next attack will be the last. You will die in battle as a great warrior," the Minotaur said.

The captain didn't reply. He was too focused on keeping himself conscious. He ran towards the Minotaur, ignoring the pain.

The Minotaur slashed down, and time seemed to freeze for the captain as both sides of his body fell in different directions after being split in half.

With the captain dead, there was no hope in this battle for the guards. But even then, they couldn't retreat from the battle as the enemy pressed them tightly.

One of the guards took out a tube and shot red smoke into the air before a goblin stabbed him and he died. But the smoke still went up high into the sky.
