The Wind Dragon King said, "As long as the elves do not support humanity, then we Order Dragons, after annihilating humanity, will send large quantities of magic stones."
The Elf Queen said, "No, we cannot wait until later. We need it now. Give us some magic stones first."
Following this, after a period of bargaining between the Elf Queen and the Wind Dragon King, the Wind Dragon King agreed to provide some magic stones in advance. The remainder would be given after humanity was annihilated. At the same time, the Elf Queen also promised that the elves would not support humanity.
With these arrangements made, the Wind Dragon King left the meeting room with satisfaction.
Next, a Grand Magus Elf emerged from the meeting room. Upon exiting, he asked, "Elf Queen, are we truly going to stand by and watch the Order Dragons and the beastmen unite to wage war against humanity? If humanity is annihilated, the beastman army and the united Order Dragon forces will undoubtedly advance south to invade our elven territory."
The Elf Queen nodded and said, "Yes, your reasoning is sound. However, after the Order Dragons annihilate humanity, they will certainly halt their advance. The beastman army will then continue to march towards our elven lands."
"Then, Your Majesty, if that is the case, why did you agree to the Order Dragons' terms? If the beastman army arrives, our elven situation will also be dire."
"There is no need to worry. Those humans are powerful. Even the united forces of the Order Dragons and the beastmen will suffer heavy losses. By then, it will be simple to annihilate them when they attempt to invade our elven territory. There is no need for concern; after all, our strength should not be underestimated."
"What if humanity seeks our aid? What should we do?" 138 Reading Network
"Stall them! We can agree to send troops, but we must drag our feet. Keep stalling until the war ends."
...
In this magical world, the only intelligent races are the elves, beastmen, and dragon clans. The Dragon Country humans entered later. Therefore, wars in the magical world, apart from internal tribal conflicts within a race, are between the elves and beastmen, or dragons causing destruction among the elves and beastmen. The elves' decision to make such a choice proves they have confidence.
The soldiers on the front lines of the Dragon Country, after replenishing some of their expended ammunition, continued to wait as before.
At the base next to the teleportation gate, a batch of drones was being transported.
These drones were equipped with numerous formations, specifically formations from the cultivation world.
Lin Dong was responsible for transporting these drones.
Lin Dong delivered these drones to the Air Force base of the military headquarters.
A major general approached, observing the drones, and asked, "Are these drones going to be used to intercept the dragons this time? Will there be no more scenes of large fighter jets engaging in dogfights with the Order Dragons?"
Lin Dong replied, "Yes, Major General. Are these not sufficient? Sending fighter jets piloted by humans would only increase casualties, would it not? Such a scenario is impossible. Alright, this is how it is for now. You should use these drones effectively to attack those Order Dragons. These are currently the Type 5 drones under development."
The major general reluctantly accepted the batch of drones. He muttered, "Using these is no different than testing the drones' performance."
Lin Dong, seeing the major general's demeanor, chided him, "Aren't these drones good enough? I even want to personally go capture two dragons to test them!"
Upon hearing this, the major general's face immediately lit up with anticipation. "Capture two dragons? Has the Golden Core stage already reached such strength? Then let's go capture two and see if it's possible!"
Lin Dong shook his head and said, "No, no, I cannot make a move yet. We must use these drones first."
There were a thousand of these drones.
After a brief preparation, the thousand drones levitated and took off.
Lin Dong read the instruction manual and said, "These drones have also been equipped with defensive formations from the cultivation world. The scientists want to see if the dragons can break these formations."
The drones accelerated rapidly, and at the same time, on that mountain peak, Octos Yan led five hundred Order Dragons and five hundred thousand beastman air force, flying towards the Dragon Country's front lines.
"These Order Dragons and the beastman air force have also begun their advance. However, these Order Dragons are so timid; they are flying in the midst of the five hundred thousand beastman air force. Can't they fly at the vanguard? This makes it difficult for our drones to get close to the Order Dragons."
The drones continuously accelerated in the air, quickly reaching speeds of over a thousand kilometers per hour. In the distance, the beastman air force and the Order Dragons were also flying towards each other.
The intelligence officer reported, "We will meet in one hour."
Lin Dong looked at the sky. It was already lunchtime. He said, "We still have to wait an hour. I'll go have lunch first. By the way, is it lunchtime yet?"
The major general replied, "We eat in shifts. One group has already gone for lunch. If you're hungry, you can go too."
Lin Dong shook his head and said, "Hungry? I am already a mighty cultivator at the Golden Core stage. How could I be hungry? I mainly want to see if your meals are good."
The major general nodded. "Alright, I understand. I'll know when I cultivate to the Golden Core stage later."
An hour later, the drone cameras captured a dense swarm of flying units in the distant sky. It was the combined army of Order Dragons and beastman air force.
Lin Dong looked at the real-time imagery fed back by the satellite and said, "Fly above this combined army."
The thousand drones directly ascended in altitude. They rose from an altitude of over ten thousand meters to over twenty thousand meters.
Lin Dong said, "First, send out fifty drones to test the waters."
Fifty drones accelerated, breaking away from the main formation, and flew forward.
After flying a further distance, the Order Dragons within the combined army also detected the drones above them.
"It's the humans' flying mechanical creatures, birds! Behold my dragon breath!"
Several Order Dragons flew directly towards the sky. After continuously increasing their altitude, they finally reached an altitude of twenty thousand meters. At this rarefied height, these Order Dragons required more magic power to sustain their flight.
"Hehehe, I never expected that these mechanical creations of humanity could fly at such an altitude. Even someone as powerful as myself needs to expend considerable magic power at this height. Watch as I destroy these mechanical creations of yours!"
Another Order Dragon next to him said, "Stop wasting time. Let's attack together!"
Several Order Dragons used dragon magic to attack the fifty drones.
When the magic landed on the drones, a light appeared on their displays. A formation from the cultivation world materialized, blocking the magic from the Order Dragons.
The Order Dragons could not believe that their attacks had been blocked.
