Chapter 436: World of Monsters and Dragon Flame (Part )
In fact, for the soldiers on the King's Continent, the things that cause the highest casualties to them are not those heroes who are like ghosts and gods, but the monsters lurking in every corner of the world!

Because in a sense, even if some heroes are cruel by nature and regard the lives of soldiers as worthless, in the final analysis, at least they will not kill innocent people indiscriminately or bite people they see. More heroes actually hold the same attitude as Broken Mirror Blade, that is, they are firm supporters of the bloodline theory. They usually disdain to associate with soldiers, but they will not deny the value of their existence because of this.

In general, there are two extremes, heroes and soldiers. Even if there is a gap between them, most heroes can still coexist with soldiers.

But monsters are different.

Monsters are truly cruel and bloodthirsty, or it should be said that they are irrational creatures. All their actions are completely based on their own purely animal instincts, and they have great hostility towards all humans. Once you meet them, there is usually only one result: either you or I die!

Facts have proven that the traces of monsters are not only found in the canyon battlefield, but their presence has spread almost all over the world map, whether it is the wild areas and rivers of the canyon, or the outskirts of the city-states of the major forces, the fields in the towns, the major wild areas, etc.
Extremely ferocious monsters can be said to be everywhere, and the biggest headache for most rulers is usually not the long-term external canyon wars, but the internal handling and resolution of monster problems. This is also the reason why the number of soldiers and civilians eaten by monsters every year once far exceeded the number of soldiers killed in the canyon battlefield each year!

Where do these monsters come from? Why do they hate humans so much?
To this day, no one can prove and explain the origin of the monsters, but the records in the ancient solitary book sealed in the most secret library of Jixia Academy show that the existence of monsters can even be traced back to the origin of the world! (Even so, this is only a rumor)
As far as the public memory is concerned, monsters have coexisted with them in this world since they were born from their mother's womb and gained self-awareness. Even if they have never seen them with their own eyes, they can often hear various terrible monster legends passed down from their parents and grandfathers.

Therefore, in this special cultural context, the words that adults use to coax children to sleep at night are no longer about human traffickers or thieves, or scary ghost stories, but about monsters outside the city will run in and drag them away and eat them if they don’t sleep.

The established fact, coupled with the exaggeration of thousands of years by our ancestors, has led to the fact that humans have a bloodline gene that has continued to have a deep fear of monsters from ancient times to the present.

and so--

“Huh~Ah~!!”

When the Xuanyong soldiers on the three high grounds saw the three increasingly terrifying black shadows in the distant sky, the instinctive fear from their genes completely crushed their will to resist in an instant!

Even though it was the first time they saw it, many soldiers recognized at a glance that the creature flying towards them with the power of wind and thunder was not an ordinary monster, but three extremely huge "four-legged flying dragons"!
As the distance between the two sides got closer, the whole world began to darken little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the vision of the soldiers, half of the sky was gradually blocked by the huge figures of the flying dragons. When the shadows all over the sky fell, it was like endless darkness, directly covering and swallowing up the entire highland square. As the dragon spread its giant wings that easily reached a length of a hundred meters and flapped, the force of the hurricane on the ground was so strong that it blew away countless soldiers on the spot!
At this moment, towering black shadows like mountains surrounded the outside of the high ground. In an instant, lightning and thunder roared throughout the sky and earth as if it was the end of the world!
"How can it be."

Being in the midst of it, Shang Yang looked up in despair at the three giant dragons flying towards him from the three directions of Xuanyong, and was shocked to the point of being almost speechless!
In the canyon battlefield, monsters are not rare creatures. In the wild areas and in the suburbs of the city, there are all kinds of monsters lurking. However, no one in Xuanyong has ever actually seen a flying dragon!
The legendary four-legged flying dragon is one of the top creatures among the countless monsters on the King's Continent. The last record of a flying dragon seemed to be in Chang'an City more than ten years ago. It is said that the empress at that time summoned the most elite heroes under her command, and after sacrificing the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, she finally wiped out the flying dragon group. Since then, there has been no trace of flying dragons in the world.

Unexpectedly, the flying dragons not only did not die out, but also descended to Xuanyong Plateau on this day!
It should be said that being able to see the legendary flying dragon with one's own eyes is actually a great blessing in life, but it is also the greatest tragedy! "Look! That hero is, there!"

Suddenly, a Xuanyong soldier cried out in a trembling voice. When everyone looked in the direction of the voice, they couldn't help but gasp!
Although it hadn't gotten close enough, people could already see from this distance that there was a figure standing on the arrogant and ferocious dragon's head in the middle.
That was Wang Yao who left and came back.

This man who looked like a demon was holding a horn on the dragon's head with one hand and holding a sword of nothingness with a blade as sharp as autumn water in the other hand. He stood on the arrogant dragon, looking down at the trembling creatures in Xuanyong Plateau with an expressionless face. His condescending and indifferent attitude was like a god descending!
Of course, unlike the neat and tidy appearance when he left, Wang Yao at this moment was almost covered with wounds. His clothes were covered with cracks and burn marks, and his exposed skin was also covered with abrasions. Even from his forehead, bright red blood flowed from time to time. The conspicuous red, set off by the pale face and hair, was enough to show that Wang Yao was seriously injured!
the other side--

The man's bloody face was reflected in her watery green eyes. Sun Shangxiang was standing on the lonely peak, staring blankly at Wang Yao on the dragon's head, but she subconsciously tightened the hem of her skirt at her hips.

"What happened, anyway?"

As a hero, the young lady could clearly see that Wang Yao's health was almost at the bottom! It could even be said that any hero could easily kill him with just one skill!

Even when he was fighting against more than a dozen enemy heroes, he had never been seen in such a weak state. What else in this canyon could cause such terrible damage to him?
As an enemy, Shang Yang did not have the leisure to worry about Wang Yao's physical condition like Sun Shangxiang. Facing Wang Yao who had returned with a flying dragon, he suddenly realized that the reason why the federal army retreated just now was not only because they had been unable to capture their high ground for a long time, but more importantly because they were afraid of being injured by mistake!

Although he was also shocked and puzzled as to why Wang Yao could control these terrifying four-legged flying dragons, Shang Yang was more concerned about the Xuanyong army, which was already showing signs of collapse again. He looked at the army around him that was filled with despair and fear, and an unprecedented anger and humiliation suddenly erupted from his heart again!

He had finally come here, and was about to defeat the enemy. Why? He could win, he had the ability, he wanted to return to his hometown to be a hero, he wanted to realize his ambitions, he was not willing to admit defeat!
Human beings are always like this, never willing to face up to inevitable failure and overestimating themselves.

Therefore, Shang Yang, whose spirit had already collapsed to the extreme, finally made the only wrong command in the entire highland defense operation.

"All living things must die! All melee soldiers, listen up! Go to the front and form a shield formation to resist the flying dragon! At the same time, all magic soldiers and artillery vehicles will focus all their firepower into the air!!"

Yes, Shang Yang was ready to give it a try. He wanted to command his army to slay the dragon! !
