There is a saying that when people grow old, they must be stubborn.
But in Saryan's view, the direction of this sentence is not clear enough.
With a lifespan of more than ten thousand years, Inas is still cheerful and playful, while Senegos looks sullen.
For immortal species, age is not the accurate criterion for measuring aging, mentality is.
Sharlayan didn't know what Senegos had experienced before. He seemed to have completely lost his passion for life, and spent his days lying around in the magic pool like a salted fish.
Fortunately, Senegos has a strong sense of responsibility for his heirs, otherwise this old blue dragon would have lost the meaning of survival long ago.
Judging from what Senegos said, Inas once lectured him on this matter, but unfortunately it never inspired him to fight.
Due to her special upbringing environment, Sarlayan is more straightforward in her speaking style than Inas, and her words are more ruthless.
Looking at young Sharlayan, Senegos seemed to have traveled through time and space, and saw the little girl standing in front of him with her hands on her hips, scolding him angrily.
Compared with the outside world, time in Blue Wing Habitat seems to have stood still.
Due to the increasingly tight energy supply, there have been no new baby dragons born in Blue Wing Habitat for a long time since Stellagosa's generation of baby dragons grew up.
The person standing in front of him to reprimand was changed from Inas to Sharlayan. The inheritance and continuation of life touched the heart of Senegos, who had been doing nothing for a long time.
Sharlayan's merciless words also made Senegos begin to reflect on whether there was really a problem with his past actions.
The inertial thinking developed over tens of thousands of years is not so easy to reverse, so Senegos turned his attention to his little granddaughter aside.
"My little star, what do you think?"
"Should Blue Wing Habitat continue to maintain the status quo, or should it change its original strategy of being insular and insular and actively open to the outside world?"
In fact, Senegos already knew Stellagosa's answer. He just wanted to find a step down and rely on others to speak out to make the final decision.
As expected, Stellagosa, who had long had a desire for change, gave the answer without hesitation.
“Of course it’s open!”
…
After Senegos took advantage of Stellagosa's words, Sharlayan suggested that all the dragons in the Blue Wing Habitat be moved back to Cordala.
But Senegos firmly rejected the proposal.
He agreed to open up to the outside world and allowed his children to leave the Blue Wing habitat and go to the wider world outside to find a life of their own.
Only on the matter of moving back to Cordala, Senegos remained stubborn.
"I don't want my children to move there to be with crazy people. It's too dangerous and harmful to their growth."
"I will never let my children go to Cordala until Malygos is completely restored to normal. This is my bottom line."
Sarlayan and Valeera also expressed their understanding of this.
Although Malygos's mental state has improved, according to Alecgos, he still suffers from intermittent attacks, but the frequency is not as high as before.
Since he doesn't plan to go back for the time being, Senegos is determined to clean up the mess in Azsuna so that the children in Blue Wing Habitat can have a more stable environment to grow up.
But Senegos himself, who was so weak, couldn't do it.
Therefore, Senegos entrusted Sharlayan and Valeela with the task of eliminating the withered and restoring the normal operation of Azsuna's Weave, and Stellagosa and other young dragons would also give their full assistance.
Looking from the sky above the Blue Wings' habitat, an overwhelming number of Withered Ones were swarming in from the direction of the ruins of the Zahnar Demon Network.
A single withered warrior is not very strong, and any well-trained soldier can easily defeat them.
The problem is quantity.
"How come there are so many?"
Flying in the air and looking at it, there are at least a thousand withered ones rushing like long snakes, and this is only a part of them that have been relocated from Suramar.
In comparison, including dragonmen, young dragons and young dragons, the total population of Blue Wing Habitat is only a hundred or so, but there are hundreds of well-preserved dragon eggs sealed in the cave nest.
The young dragons basically have no fighting ability, and most of the dragon people need to protect the future of these groups from the wither attacks.
After a full fight, there are only about ten young dragons that can participate in the battle. Counting the dragon men responsible for guarding the territory, the number does not exceed 30.
30 versus thousands, the comparison in numbers is quite disparate.
Dragons can indeed become extraordinary legendary creatures when they reach adulthood. As long as they do not encounter a powerful mortal hero who personally leads the army, it is not impossible to destroy the army independently.
Yes, the prerequisite is that you are an adult.
There is a huge gap between young dragons and adult dragons. If you cross it, you can become a dragon. If you can't cross it, you can only keep working hard with your tail between your legs.
Theoretically, it is possible for a baby dragon to be killed by a powerful mortal hero in one-on-one combat.
A dozen young dragons had no decisive advantage against the overwhelming withered spell.
If there is sufficient energy supply, the young dragons can use dragon breath to wash the ground unscrupulously, but unfortunately, they cannot do it now.
Facing the Withered Ones who were coming one after another without fear or fatigue, Sarlayan and Valeela were also a little numb.
The withered ones don't know how to organize their troops, so they just keep their heads down and move forward. Their crazy momentum that will never stop until they achieve their goals is really shocking.
Today is not the first battle between the blue dragon and the withered man.
Facing the large number of incoming withered spells, Stellagosa looked a little nervous, but she did not panic because of this.
Under her command, the rough-skinned and fleshy draconians stood at the front to hold the line, while the young dragons flew in the sky, looking for places where crowds gathered to breathe arcane dragon breath.
Due to limited energy, these young dragons did not dare to let go of the spray, and they were somewhat restrained in fighting.
Most of the skills that Sarlayan chose before were aimed at single enemies. Faced with the overwhelming army, he realized that he lacked the skills to clear large areas.
Not just Sharlayan, but Valeera as well.
The skills that the two chose to learn before were mainly for adventure experiences, mainly to deal with single strong enemies, and they rarely encountered such large-scale enemies.
Even if they accidentally encounter each other, the two of them will carefully choose to avoid it. There is no need to be stupid and blindly confront the enemy head-on.
But the habitat defense battle before us is obviously unavoidable.
If you want to solve the problem of the withered, you must first assist Stellagosa and others in repelling a new round of enemy attacks, and then make a long-term plan.
When Stellagosa used Dragon Breath to clear a space on the battlefield, Sharlayan finally found an opportunity to cut in and use Heroic Leap to jump into the battlefield.
It is not suitable to use a heavy sword when clearing out the soldiers.
"Qiang!"
Sarlayan grasped the hilt of Quel'Sera's sword with both hands and pulled it to both sides.
Under the owner's wishes, the upper dragon-forged blade consciously separated into two one-handed swords.
After Sharlayan entered the battlefield, he soon started a bloody storm, and Valeera followed him without leaving a trace, specifically picking out enemies that Sharlayan didn't notice and assassinating them.
Since Sharlayan and Valeera are not professions that require the use of magic to fight, the Wither's magic-sucking skills have an extremely weak impact on them.
Sarlayan, who was dual-wielding long swords, opened a bloody path in the battle formation. He was like a stubborn stone in the torrent. Most of the withered warriors were like rivers that encountered obstacles, surrounding him and Wa.
The defense zone guarded by Lila continued to advance.
But this stubborn stone would not just stand there stupidly waiting for an impact, but instead began to cut off the connection between the front and rear of the Withered Man.
The Withered Ones are quite weak individually. With their brains burnt out, they have completely forgotten their previous fighting skills and can only rely on instinct to attack with their dirty claws.
It wasn't until Sarlayan, who was covered in blood, was able to kill him softly, that the Withered Ones, unable to break through the defense, receded like a tidal wave.
"Hoo~"
Bending down to catch his breath with his long sword in hand, Sarlayan said to the barrage with some annoyance: "When I upgrade and select skills next time, I must choose a group attack type."
"When encountering such a large number of miscellaneous soldiers, killing them one by one would be too painful."
After leaving Silithus, Sarlayan first killed a group of nightmare monsters, and then obtained the head of Xavius.
In addition to killing a large number of withered spells this time, his level has reached more than half of level 43. Valeela is slightly lower, also at level 42.
Level 45 is the last opportunity to select skills before advancing to legend. Based on the last experience, the system should provide some more precious skill options.
Stellagosa transformed back into the high elf form and landed next to the tired Sharlayan and Valeera, looking worriedly at the direction in which the Withered Ones were retreating.
"They will come back in three days at most."
"In these three days, we must find a way to deal with the threat of the Withered once and for all."
