Chapter 452 - 248: Stone Guards and the Dragon Mage Lord

As the Griffin swiftly descended into the canyon, the Ironfoot Legion warriors resting inside the canyon rose and formed their ranks.

Jumping off the Griffin, Raine immediately noticed that each dwarf warrior of the Ironfoot Legion had a sturdy build, with broad shoulders and thick arms, resembling solid stone pillars.

Except for their faces, their entire bodies were wrapped in iron-gray heavy armor forged from refined steel, and the only exposed faces showed a bronze color due to frequent sun exposure, seemingly a result of daily hard training.

Their iconic beards had been trimmed slightly and woven with several small steel buckles and iron rings for ease during combat.

What impressed Raine the most was that the style of heavy armor on each dwarf warrior of the Ironfoot Legion was completely uniform.

Unlike the warriors of the Adventurer Squad, where even within the same squad, the combat professionals’ armor shape and style were almost never the same.

The dwarf warriors of the Ironfoot Legion before him gave the impression of being molded from the same cast, and this uniform sense of pressure was akin to facing an Extraordinary Giant Beast.

Additionally, Raine noticed that compared to the armor style of the Human Kingdom, the dwarf’s armor, whether shoulder guard or helmet, was thicker and had more defined edges. Most of the weapons they held were combinations of ’V’-shaped steel shields and refined steel long spears.

Of course, not entirely.

The officers among the dwarves leaned more toward single-handed warhammers.

This was because the stronger the individual, the better they could utilize the blunt damage of a warhammer.

"(Dwarven Language) Everyone assemble!" shouted one of Centurion Krom’s lieutenants.

Among the two lieutenants accompanying Centurion Krom this time, one was a priest, rarely seen among dwarves, with Level 7 Classes, and the other was this lieutenant, a Giant Hammer Warrior with Professional Level 8.

However, Raine noticed when departing from the Iron Hills that this lieutenant, aside from carrying a two-handed heavy hammer, also carried a device resembling an antenna transmitter on his back.

Regarding this, Raine couldn’t decipher its purpose for the moment.

With an order, in less than half a minute, five hundred elite Ironfoot Legion members gathered and neatly lined up in five rows of one hundred soldiers each, marching forward to the Iron Ring Excavation Site.

Additionally, Raine keenly observed three armored boars at the end of the formation, pulling weighty objects covered with gray tarps.

’Is this the secret weapon?’

’Seems like heavy crossbow arrows?’

Although covered with tarps, Raine faintly speculated based on the outline shape.

The army quickly set off.

Given each dwarf was extremely sturdy, donned in heavy armor, and their steps were in sync, Raine could distinctly feel the ground’s vibration.

Beside him, Laisa widened her eyes and exclaimed, "Is this an army? The momentum is overwhelming!"

Regarding the human girl’s praise, both Humbert and Centurion Krom displayed smiles and pride.

"The Ironfoot Legion is the leading heavy infantry regiment of our Mountain Dwarf Kingdom."

"In terms of equipment and personnel quality, they are top-notch across the continent. Within the kingdom, stronger than the Ironfoot Legion, aside from the royal guard, there’s only the heavy cavalry Tabu Sheep Knights, but they are cavalry..."

"Indeed a rare elite force." Raine nodded in agreement.

This is the army, entirely different from the style of an Adventurer Squad.

As the formation advanced, soon, the Iron Ring Excavation Site loomed faintly in everyone’s sight.

At this point, the large troop’s march had already aroused vigilance from the Blue Dragonman side, and Raine now noticed that the blue spots he saw from the sky were all towering Blue Dragonmen.

The opponents stood about two and a half to three meters tall, with miniature blue dragon heads, resembling humans in the upper body, but with four legs below, covered all over with overlapping blue scales about the size of a baby’s fist.

Every Blue Dragonman was surrounded by a large group of Jackal Wolfmen, Kobolds, and other vassal races.

Observing this scene, Raine squinted slightly.

’Basically, each Blue Dragonman along with their Jackal Wolfmen and Kobolds can be seen as an independent combat unit.’

’Moreover, the keen senses of Jackal Wolfmen and Kobolds in smell and hearing make sneaking in even harder than anticipated.’

Upon seeing the Ironfoot Legion approaching, dozens of Blue Dragonmen howled, commanding thousands of Jackal Wolfmen and Kobolds to launch a probing attack immediately.

"Arrooh~~~"

"Arooo~~~"

Accompanied by the howling of Jackal Wolfmen and Kobolds, they swarmed over like ant colonies.

Facing this probing attack, Raine naturally did not take action. Even the Ironfoot Legion did not deliberately set up a defensive formation but continued marching uniformly.

The Giant Hammer Warrior lieutenant shouted, "Prepare to throw!"

Each dwarf warrior retrieved a chain ball from their waist and began swinging it.

"Throw!"

Three seconds later, as the Jackal Wolfmen and Kobolds charged closer, the dwarf warriors of the Ironfoot Legion hurled small chain balls heavily from their hands, which drew a graceful arc mid-air towards the Jackal Wolfmen and Kobolds, plummeting at high speed!

Five hundred small chain balls simultaneously traced arcs in the air, a spectacular sight, like five hundred mortars launching shells at once.

With the accompanying whistling, it smashed into the Jackal Wolfmen and Kobolds, covered in filthy black fur, with cries of torment.
