{ Alliance (Part 3) }

"Fire the artilleries and anti-unit cannons! Mobilize the Arsenals! Destroy all of them!"

A humanoid dragon shouted, pointing at the (temporarily) unified Dracorellian and Eikolnian forces. They weren't hopeless, they stopped that thought and focused of firing as many projectiles as possible.

Meanwhile, some of the projectiles were being intercepted by their enemies' own blasts.

Ten minutes have passed since the assault had begun, and some artilleries and anti-unit cannons were already destroyed by their enemies, and now they've destroyed parts of the wall and were starting to break in!

The humanoid dragon jumped back, evading a few strikes, then rolled sideways to evade energy blasts coming from the Eikolnian forces, before charging forward and wounded one of them with a swipe from his arm,

However, he was steadily becoming outnumbered, even with his allies who supported him.

He wouldn't give up so easily, but then he and his allies were incapacitated by a few Eikolnian Arsenal Drivers, who proceeded to move forward.

Meanwhile...

Sifrit strode forward, calmly evading a few attacks from his fellow dragons, before grabbing one of them and quickly slammed him onto the head of a transformed dragon, knocking both out in one swing.

"You traitor! Why did you betray us and allied yourself with them!" A dragon sneered at Sifrit, growling angrily towards him.

"You know- I don't want to hear the same question for the hundredth time anymore. It's irritating me." Sifrit sighed, before swiftly incapacitating the said dragon with the heavy flat of his sword.

There were a few more thousand dragons here, he could know, though be was getting closer to his destination, where a mansion stood tall.

"... Earth Dragon Noce, we meet again sooner than I expected." He muttered, before becoming swift on his feet, approaching the mansion in seconds and kicking himself off the ground, and then proceeding to quickly pass through a window with his arms crossed.

When he landed on the wooden floor, he looked up and then saw the earth dragon who was the least surprised at his arrival.

"Oh, I see... Let's just skip the formalities, Sifrit. Just give me a good fight!" Noce said, with a predatory smirk as he was now on a fighting stance a second after he saw the fellow dragon enter without warning.

Then they charged towards each other.

When their fists collided, a wide shockwave was created, blowing apart the wood and shattering the glass inside the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In another place, Lucia, Stella and Lock the 31st, with a few squads of soldiers were dashing towards the mansion, curious to know what happened to Sifrit, whom they saw earlier.

But, before they were close enough, Lucia stopped, with the others following.

"Immortal Saintess? Is there something wrong?" An Eikolnian soldier asked, feeling tense.

However, Lucia said nothing else, and reacted by making a wide barrier shaped like a dome, that protected them from a powerful blast of plasma that lasted for 7 seconds.

The immortal saintess only gritted her teeth, as visible cracks formed on where the barrier had been shot, not because of discomfort, but because of something else.

The ground rumbled as Lucia dispelled her barrier, and everyone looked at where it was, only to see a massive, 1.75 meter tall, 3 meter long tank.

It's rectangular cannon was steaming, and several clicks and a low hum can be heard from it. The tank was charging another blast.

"That... that's a Metal Desastre! How did they get such a weapon!?"

A footman shouted, looking very surprised at the appearance of the Tank.

"How dare they steal sister's prototypes, no, the question is, how?" Lucia commented, before noticing that the Metal Desastre was charging it's cannon.

Without the time to talk, the three leaders split with their units hopping towards them, but one Eikolnian Footman was hit by a powerful blast from the M.D. (Metal Desastre) and was immediately vaporized, leaving nothing, not even blood behind.

boom!*

"Tsk! Full assault!" Stella shouted, and having no knowledge about the machine, she used her rapier and enhanced it with magic, covering it's blade with draconic flames, and swiftly attacked.

Though it had an effect, such as making a huge gash on the thick metal, she felt like it wasn't enough as the M.D. counterattacked with a powerful electric shock that blasted her away to a building nearby.

"Guh...!" She gritted her teeth, before pushing herself off the crater that was made. A few of her units approached her and immediately casted healing spells that would accelerate her recovery process.

Then, she saw Lock readying himself for an attack with his units who casted their spells and shot their cannons.

Lock became a blur right in front of her, and then his spear heavily damaged the tank and rendering the cannon and it's wheels useless.

Although it could no longer move, the tank's hatches opened, revealing a few female Dragon Kalars in their human forms and a few rocket launchers of the tank.

The only thing Lock noticed was that these Dragon Kalars have the same visors he saw a few weeks earlier.

Lucia also noticed something about these visors, as if something strange had been done. And she looked completely annoyed about it.

And right now, Stella had recently recovered and her units were ready to fight.

Knowing that these Dragon Kalars were enslaved against their will, they would have to work hard to free them.
