Chapter 970: Raid of Another Race (Part One)

In the beginning, humans were thinking about enslaving this race, which had a mighty civilization.

Unfortunately, the strength of goblins far surpassed humans’ imaginations.

Although goblins were short, ugly, couldn’t cultivate warrior energy, and were average at magic spells, they had superior talent in alchemy and magic technology. They had many advanced alchemists and many strange yet powerful skills and tools. Even when facing Sun-Class Lords of Humans, they weren’t inferior and matched up evenly.

This race where the weight of their heads made up 40 percent of their body weight walked on another path to absolute power! Once alchemy reached the peak, the alchemists could also control the laws of nature. According to the information that the captives gave, the Goblin Clan didn’t lack [Emperors of Alchemy] who were on the same level as demi-gods.

When the war got to this point, the far-sighted human masters gradually realized that these short and green creatures’ return to the Azeroth Continent was unavoidable and irreversible; it was impossible to eliminate all of them.

In not too long, humans would have to drop the arrogance that they developed for thousands of years. They would have to pinch their noses and accept that these short creatures were on the same level as them, and goblins were going to be one of the races standing at the top of the food chain of this continent.

Unfortunately, the worsening of the situation didn’t stop here.

…

-On the first day of spring in this new year on the Azeroth Continent-

The sun was bright, and the weather was great. Everything was signaling that this was going to be a great day.

-In the Central Region of Azeroth, on the Holy Mountain of the Holy Church at Sicily Island-

This was a place where all the forces on the continent had to look up to.

The giant mountain on Sicily Island was soaring into the clouds, and it looked like the symbol of the entire continent. As it pierced into the sky, it showed the impregnable position of this place.

In the area of hundreds of kilometers around Sicily Island, the vast holy power enveloped this region. It was spring-like all year round, and greeneries could be seen everywhere; this region was very suitable for humans to live in.

The holy flowers that represented brightness grew all over the mountains, and the genial-looking priests and handsome holy knights could be seen at every corner. Fancily-dressed bishops and prestigious nobles and noble ladies entered and exited the Holy Mountain, and ships and boats with pure-white sails floated on the rivers and sea.

The young girls in the Holy Choir sang the Holy Song, and it resonated between the sky and earth, making people intoxicated.

For the last 1,000 years, this place was never involved in any wars, and the flames of war never touched it.

This was a snapshot of a paradise that was like Heaven on land, and holy energy engulfed everything. As if it were the carefree Garden of Eden, this place only had happiness, hope, and brightness and not a single trace of sadness, despair, and evil.

This was a holy land that was blessed and protected by the gods!

Like always, the young captain of a small team of holy knights, Samaras, finished the daily morning ceremony of expressing gratitude to the gods and consumed bread and wine with his peers. Then, they put on the fancy, hollow silver armor, jumped on their handsome white horses, and grabbed their silver knight lances that were shiny after being polished. Next, they started their daily mission of patrolling the island.

This was a simple task. They only had to circle Sicily Island once as if they were on a field trip, and they could complete it little over half a day; there was no risk.

After all, no one dared to mess around in Sicily Island in the last 1,000 years.

Chapter 970: Raid of Another Race (Part Two)

As the gentle breeze blew by, the surface of the sea that was dyed red by the morning sun started to ripple.

From all angles, this was a beautiful and perfect morning.

After thinking back to the smile that a beautiful and pure girl in the choir gave him, Samaras’ mood was uplifted. The holy knights didn’t need to suppress their desires, and the girls in the Holy Choir might not need to offer their purity to the god; it was only the job of the Saintess.

Samaras felt like he was already deeply in love with that girl.

In a great mood, he dreamed about the future while he led his team members on this familiar path that they patrolled over many times.

Soon, this team of holy knights got close to a bay on the southern side of Sicily Island.

The beach was beautiful, and the crisp chirps of the white seagulls resonated in the sky as these birds flew by like delicate music notes.

Samaras looked up, and he felt like the face of that beautiful girl in the choir slowly appeared in the blue sky; she was smiling at him.

This young holy knight gradually got lost in the smile as the seagulls chirped around him.

Suddenly, he discovered that many black freckles somehow appeared on this girl’s face in the sky one after another.

“What is going on?” he thought.

“Captain! Something is off! Those…” one of his peers reminded him.

Samaras instantly reacted, and his illusion of that girl’s beautiful face in the sky disappeared.

Those black dots that looked to be the size of beans from a distance started to approach Sicily Island quickly.

Their speed was too fast! They were still tiny a moment ago, but they already turned into terrifying and vicious giant beasts.

They had giant wings, sharp white teeth, and shiny scales under the illumination of the sunlight. Their enormous bodies had a metallic texture, and the terrifying magic energy flames that condensed around them were already burning.

“What are these? Demon beasts? Giant demon beasts that can fly? Why are they here?”

All the members in this team of holy knights blanked out. After the long-term peace, they already lost the awareness and alert that they should have. In this split second, they couldn’t react in time.

Suddenly, ear-piercing siren resonated in the sky; this was the first time it rang so loudly on Sicily Island in the last 1,000 years.

“Enemy raid!”

These two words that seemed ridiculous finally appeared in the heads of these holy knights who were arrogant, but they were shocked even further; they couldn’t react in time again.

“Oh my god! What are these creatures? How dare they attack the Holy Mountain of the Holy Church? How did these evil creatures avoid the tens of thousands of magic watchtowers, the detections of powerful mages, and the warning magic arrays? How did they get so close to Sicily Island before they were discovered?”

“Most importantly, what are these creatures?”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the next moment, tens of thousands of colorful magic lights shot down from the sky like meteors while dragging long tails. They were shot out of the monsters’ mouths, and they smashed onto Sicily Island, causing great destruction.

Instantly, the giant island shook as if it were about to sink, and loud explosions sounded from all over the island. The fire and smoke permeated the air, staining this paradise.

“Dragon!”

“Giant dragons?”

“How come? They are actually dragons?”

“Protect Sicily Island! These damn dragons! Where did they come from?”

Chaotic roars resonated in the area, and the loud bugles sounded abruptly, shattering the calm and peace that had been around Sicily Island for 1,000 years. Meanwhile, the roars of the giant dragons also echoed in the sky.

In this chaos, the Holy Mountain, which was located in the center of Sicily Island, was the target of the giant dragons that covered the sky and blocked the sun!
