Reincarnated as a Red Dragon, Discipline Makes Me Stronger!-Chapter 51 - The Human Army has been Tricked!

Out of the 3 generals present, Felix was the only one who had the aptitude for wind magic. In other words, Felix was the only who could cast Wind Speak.

Nevertheless, Calsus was not so trusting of Felix that he would scrape the entirety of his plan just because of his statement. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m

Calsus peered forward at the seemingly endless lair before him.

“Iron Whip Squad, enter the lair and investigate. Make sure to remain as quiet as possible.”

Calsus waved his hand and ordered the Iron Whip Squad.

“The Iron Whip Squad will do as we’re told!”

The Iron Whip Squad was Calsus’ most trusted squad. It consisted of only five members. Although they were the smallest unit in the army, no one dared to look down on them, especially when it came to their field of expertise — scouting.

The Iron Whip Squad tip-toed as they approached the cave.

They did not plan ignite a fire, nor did they dare to use any magical items.

After all, their supposed targets were Red Dragons, a race that were the absolute authority when it came to using magic!

Even the slightest fluctuation of magic would not escape their perception.

On the other hand, they had held off against using flames as it would alarm the bats and attract the attention of the dragons.

Although they would gladly give up their lives for the kingdom, it did not mean that they would carelessly squander it.

Finally, an arduous half an hour, they located 3 massive silhouettes some distance away from them.

Suddenly, a howling gust of wind arose within the lair, and as a result, it had misled the Iron Whip Squad into thinking they were dragon cries.

They looked at each other and nodded.

The targets had been confirmed, Sir Felix’s information was correct.

Soon, they quietly turned around and slowly snuck their way out again.

Rumble!

Lightning flashed directly from the thick dark clouds in the sky.

Then, a heavy downpour rained down from the sky!

By the time the Iron Whip Squad had returned, it was already raining cats and dogs.

“Reporting to Sir Calsus, Sir Felix’s report is accurate. There are indeed three giant dragon-shaped creatures in the cave.”

The captain of the Iron Whip Squad did not confirm that the figures were indeed dragons. After all, there was limited light within the cave, and it was all they could do to make out the figures’ shapes.

“Very good.”

Calsus nodded. Satisfied, he then stated, “In that case, let’s start the operation.”

“A Class squads, follow me. We will form the vanguard. B Class squads, assist those in the A Class. As for those from the C Class, you’re on standby. Make sure that you’re prepared for battle at any time.”

“Leave one of the ballistae here and target the lair’s entrance. You are not to fire the ballista under any circumstances unless I’ve given the order.”

“As for the other 2 ballistae, the A Class squads would be in charge of them. We will bring them into the lair and deal a fatal blow to those dragons!”

“Remember, Agatha is our main priority. The Dragon Hatchlings are not worth squandering our Dragon-vanquishing Bolts on.”

Calsus barked one order after another.

“Felix, Gallio, accompany me into the cave. Be ready for anything that might come your way.”

“Understood.”

“Roger.”

After exchanging a glance at each other, they then followed Calsus into the cave.

The cave was already dark to begin with. However, as a result of the gloomy weather, the visibility within it had been reduced even further.

Gallio could not help but frown. He took out a fluorescent potion from his pocket and used it as a light source to move forward.

Calsus and Felix did not say anything. After all, it was only a fluorescent potion. The likelihood of it being noticed by the dragons was low.

The wheels of the Dragon-vanquishing Ballistae made slight creaking sounds as it travelled into the cave. This, combined with the violent howls of wind and rain outside, had made the atmosphere somewhat terrifying.

“How much further do we have to go?”

Calsus asked Felix in a low voice.

“We’re here, Sir Calsis.”

Felix hurriedly replied.

Everyone looked up and saw 2 black shadows that were 3 to 4 meters tall hiding in a corner not far away. Further behind those two figures, however, was a massive black shadow that was as huge as a hill.

The massive shadow was incomparably majestic, and just its figure alone had emitted an intense pressure that stifled one’s breathing.

Calsus frowned. Although they were still dozens of meters away from “Agatha”, the pressure she exerted was capable of suffocating some Gold Rank soldiers.

‘Dragons are indeed the most terrifying entities on this continent.’

‘However, now that we’ve gained the tools to slay dragons, this is no longer a one-sided slaughter.’

‘Agatha, this world does not belong to dragons! Nay, it belongs to us HUMANS!’

Calsus muttered to himself as he gradually stretched his arm upwards.

Beside him, Felix and Gallio exchanged a quick glance before immediately stepping back.

The soldiers behind him were also ready to attack. Calsus was signaling them to ready the Dragon-vanquishing Ballistae.

Once Calsus lowered his arm, they would have to fire both Dragon-vanquishing Ballistae at the same time!

“Creak-creak!”

Both Dragon-vanquishing Ballistae had been adjusted to target Agatha’s head.

Even if Agatha was powerful and possessed tough dragon scales, it was impossible for her to take on the Dragon-vanquishing Ballistae head-on without being prepared.

“Agatha, experience the fear of Death!”

“Dragon-vanquishing Ballistae, fire!”

Calsus roared angrily as his outstretched hand suddenly fell towards Agatha’s direction.

The muzzle of the Dragon-vanquishing Ballistae emitted a glow that illuminated the pitch-black cave!

The enormous Dragon-vanquishing Bolts cut through the air and slammed into Agatha!

Boom!

Suddenly! A bolt of lightning descended from the sky!

The lightning instantly blinded the entire cave!

At this moment, the pupils of everyone present shrunk to the size of pinholes, and they were all extremely shocked!

The figure they had assumed was Agatha was nothing but an assemble of bones, rotten meat, and mud that had been melded together under high temperatures!

“W-We’ve been tricked!”

“Dragons are capable of trickery?!”

“Impossible. Dragons are a noble race that would not resort to such despicable tactics!”

“No, the high temperatures required to meld these components together could only be achieved by Red or Blue Dragons…”

Calsus frowned and immediately turned to look at the sky outside the cave and said slowly.

“We have been played.”
