Fog Bone Nest.
The mist dissipated without warning, leaving all the lizard-like beings in a state of panic, completely unaware of what had happened.
A scout squad sent out to investigate had not returned for a long time, and unease was spreading through the hideout.
Dragon Shaman Kolo immediately ordered messengers to notify all the leaders stationed outside, instructing them to unleash a full-scale attack on human villages by monsters.
At the same time, his four generals, Claw, Scale Shield, Bone Hammer, and Severed Tail, all set out, each leading their troops to the camp walls, ready for battle.
Kolo himself remained in the palace at the center of the camp, awaiting news.
Just then, the monster leader, Dragonblood Orc Marago, returned to the Mist Remains Nest.
The dragonblood orc Marago wields two axes. He is tall, with green skin and two fangs in his mouth, and looks extremely fierce.
At this moment, however, he was covered in wounds, staggering and in a very sorry state.
Marago leaped onto the city wall, roughly kicking the two lizard-like beings blocking his path off the ramparts, roaring, "What's that old bastard Kolo up to! Tell him to come out and see me!"
Claw, one of the four generals, was stationed here. He saw Marago kick two lizard-like beings off the city wall, his behavior was extremely brutal.
Claw reluctantly approached and replied, "Our chieftain is still overseeing things at the palace. You can go there to find him."
Marago cursed, "Damn old man!" and as he raised his double axes, preparing to jump off the city wall, a wind blade suddenly flew over.
Marago's expression changed drastically, and he hastily dodged.
A flash of cold light, and his arm snapped off, blood spurting out. He rolled away in pain, leaping awkwardly into the inner part of the city wall, barely managing to escape the pursuit.
Having narrowly escaped death, Marago roared, "Damn Chloe, if I had survived this, I would have ripped your head off and used it as a chamber pot!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the lizard-like soldiers on the city wall looked up in terror. A white-armored knight, riding a white-feathered dragon eagle, was hovering above the camp. Her gaze was icy, and her aura was imposing.
Despite the presence of hundreds of lizard-like beings in the camp, it was as if she had surrounded them all.
Illumian looked down at the dense swarm of lizard-like beings, her brows furrowed, her eyes filled with disgust: "The minions of the evil dragon, they all deserve to die!"
With a wave of his hand, several wind blades whistled down.
Wherever they went, the lizard-human soldiers were cut down like grass, green blood splattered, and limbs were scattered everywhere.
Claw shouted to quell the panicked soldiers and ordered them to set up crossbows for defense.
At that moment, a gust of wind struck, and the city's crossbows instantly shattered, scattering across the ground.
The survivors were horrified and their fighting spirit collapsed.
Illulian didn't even glance at them, riding her dragonhawk to chase after Marago.
They fled and chased, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived before the palace.
Marago rushed into the hall, only to find it completely empty.
His pupils contracted sharply before he could react.
In an instant, two wind blades swiftly attacked, instantly slicing him into three pieces.
Ilulian remembered Lin'er's instructions and quickly searched the palace, but she did not find any auras above the third rank.
She carefully examined the entire palace and found that various cabinets and shelves were overturned and leaning, finally confirming that the lizard-human leader had already fled.
Illulian was not giving up and searched again, finally finding a clue in the apothecary.
Some of the bottles and jars on the shelves had been moved away, and many medicines were smashed on the ground, leaving only some worthless items.
Illulian raised her twin swords, and with flashes of light, the cabinets and niches shattered.
With a click, a hidden compartment was revealed.
There is only one scroll of notes, which seems to contain some kind of medicine recipe.
"Lin Er also knows how to make medicine; we can bring this to him to show him."
Ilulian put away the alchemy recipe and turned to walk out of the palace.
At this moment, the entire camp had turned into a sea of fire, and a large number of lizard-like demi-humans were fighting fiercely on the other side of the city wall.
Deacon Roseline led her team into the camp. Although they were few in number, they were all experts of level three or above.
Now that the Mist Bone Nest monsters are leaderless, they are no match for them at all. Their resistance quickly collapsed, and a large number of lizard demi-humans knelt down and surrendered.
Ilulian wielded two swords as she advanced, and several lizardmen soldiers threw down their weapons and knelt down in surrender before her.
Her expression was icy cold as she said, "I'm sorry, but even if you surrender, I will still kill you!"
As the sword flashed, the surrendered lizard-like beings were cut into pieces.
As she traveled, she slashed at any lizard-like beings she encountered with her sword, killing them indiscriminately regardless of age, leaving rivers of blood flowing.
Her fearsome reputation spread quickly; the lizard-like beings would run away at the sight of her, and those who could not escape would fight back to the death.
In a short while, there was no living thing around her, so she picked up her sword and turned towards the city wall.
Below the city wall, a large number of lizard-like demi-humans surrendered. They huddled together, a dark mass, numbering about two hundred.
At this moment, Deacon Roslin led her people over, bowed solemnly to her, and said, "Miss Ilulian, thank you very much for your help. This raid on the Mistbone Nest was a great success, and Blackrock City will never forget your contributions."
Not only her, but the other third-tier experts also paid their respects to Ilulian.
Ilulian glanced at her sideways, her voice laced with disdain, and said, "The enemy hasn't even been wiped out yet, and you call this a great victory?"
Having said that, the sword light slashed into the group of prisoners, killing more than ten lizardmen instantly. Ilulian was still not satisfied and continued to swing her two swords. Green blood splattered, severed limbs flew everywhere, and corpses littered the ground.
Several Blackrock City nobles and experts immediately changed their expressions and shouted sternly, "Stop! These are spoils of war from Blackrock City!"
Upon hearing this, Ilulian turned around, simultaneously ceasing her slaughter, and asked, "Spoils of war? You plan to dismantle these lizard-like demi-humans and use them for materials?"
Someone hurriedly explained, "No, these lizard-like demi-humans are excellent laborers; we need to capture them and use them."
"Hmph, I see."
Ilulian scoffed and once again swung her sword to slaughter the surrendered lizardmen.
Seeing that their persuasion was ineffective, the Blackrock nobles dared not go and stop her, fearing that Ilulian would kill them as well. They hurriedly asked Deacon Roslin to intervene.
Deacon Roslin looked troubled; she was even less favored by Illulian, but under pressure, she had no choice but to go over.
"Miss Ilullian, these lizard-like beings have already surrendered and are worth enslaving. Why must you continue your massacre?"
Illulian scoffed, saying, "A dead lizard-like demi-human is a good lizard-like demi-human. This is the wisdom of our ancestors, and I am the ancestor. You mere short-lived creatures shouldn't interfere."
Ilulian continued her slaughter, and soon all two hundred or so lizard-human captives were killed.
No one survived in the entire Mist Bone Nest.
Seeing this, Steward Roslin could only sigh. Her lifespan was three hundred years, yet in Illulian's eyes she was a short-lived species. Pure-blooded elves were indeed arrogant.
