Chapter 884 Ancient Dragon War

15 miles southwest of the vanguard of the Eastern Route Army of the United Corps, the main camp of the Eastern Route Army.

It is now late at night.

At this time, all normal humans are almost asleep.

In the main camp of the Eastern Route Army, except for patrols and sentries, there are only a few people who have not fallen asleep.

And Su Cheng and Alan are among the few who have not fallen asleep.

At this moment, Su Cheng and Alan's tent.

"Brother, tell me a bedtime story."

Alan just climbed onto her bed and said this to Su Cheng.

As soon as Alan finished speaking, she attracted Su Cheng's pity-filled eyes who was standing next to her bed.

"...Why are you looking at me with such a strange look." Alan pouted in dissatisfaction.

"...I just feel sad that my sister is so childish." Su Cheng sighed softly, "If I remember correctly, Alan, you are 18 years old this year, right?"

"It's okay that you haven't grown taller, but why haven't you grown mentally?"

"How old are you? Do you still want to listen to bedtime stories?"

For some reason, Alan has not grown taller since he turned 14.

In addition to not growing taller, Alan's mind doesn't seem to have grown either. He always makes some childish requests that only children would make, and says some childish words that only children would say.

"...Brother, you have changed." Alan cast a complaining look at Su Cheng, "You were not like this before. In the past, as long as I said I wanted to listen to a bedtime story, you would tell me without saying a word."

"..."Su Cheng looked helplessly at Alan, who was now lying on the bed and looking at him with complaining eyes.

Su Cheng originally planned to spend the night at Elisa's camp tonight.

Now suddenly hearing Alan's request to "listen to a bedtime story", Su Cheng felt embarrassed.

After weighing the pros and cons for a while, Su Cheng finally chose to sigh and pull over a chair next to him.

While sitting on the chair, Su Cheng asked Alan:

"...What do you want to hear? Try to pick a shorter story."

After weighing the pros and cons, Su Cheng, who didn't want to keep Alyssa waiting for a long time and didn't want to make his sister sad, decided to coax Alyssa to sleep as quickly as possible, and then rush to Alyssa's camp as quickly as possible.

"Tell her some interesting stories." Alan said excitedly.

Su Cheng was willing to stay and tell her a bedtime story, which made Alan very excited.

"I have to choose the story myself..."

After sighing helplessly again, Su Cheng continued:

"Then let me tell you the story of the Ancient Dragon War."

"Ancient Dragon War? What is that? It sounds so cool. Okay, then you can tell me about it."

"Okay, okay, okay."

After saying "okay" three times in a row, Su Cheng cleared his throat:

"A long, long time ago, before humans began to compile history books, there was a terrible creature in this world - dragons, now called ancient dragons."

"Ancient dragons?" Alan exclaimed, "Are there really dragons in this world? I always thought they were made up by bards."

"Of course this world... There are dragons." Su Cheng said unhappily, "There are records of ancient dragons in many books."

"Although the existing books have different records of ancient dragons, ancient dragons did exist in this world - there is no doubt about this."

"'Once'?" Alan keenly grasped a word Su Cheng just said,

"Are ancient dragons gone now?"

"Yes, the ancient dragons have long been extinct. Next, I will tell you how the ancient dragons became extinct."

After a pause, Su Cheng continued:

"The lifespan of the ancient dragon is extremely long. With its thick dragon scales and sharp claws, it became the undisputed strongest creature in the world at that time."

"Ancient dragon It is so strong that even we humans cannot compete with it. "

"According to books, we humans have been struggling to survive for hundreds of years under the oppression of the ancient dragons."

"We have been struggling to survive until we invented iron weapons."

"The large-scale deployment of iron weapons has enabled humans to have the ability to penetrate the scales of ancient dragons. It has given humans the power to compete with ancient dragons."

"After hundreds of years of recuperation, a family emerged on the human side."

"Under the call and leadership of this family, humans officially challenged the ancient dragons."

"This war between humans and ancient dragons is the 'Ancient Dragon War'."

"Although humans already have the power to compete with ancient dragons, Iron weapons, but it is still very difficult to defeat the ancient dragons. After all, the size difference between them is too big. Each ancient dragon is as huge as a hill. At the same time, the ancient dragons also have wings and have the ability to stay in the air for a short time. "

"According to the records, every time an ancient dragon is killed, 500 to 1,000 soldiers have to sacrifice their lives. "

"Because it is extremely difficult to kill an ancient dragon, this ancient dragon war lasted for nearly a hundred years, which is the world's first "hundred-year war". "

"Humans fought hard for this war between the two species and exhausted almost all of their vitality. Finally, all the ancient dragons in the world were exterminated and the "ancient dragon war" that lasted for a hundred years was won. "

"According to book records, the ancient dragon's settlement is mainly located in the west of our Britannia Empire, so the main battlefield of the ancient dragon war is also mainly located here."

"The first family to launch a call to slay dragons and lead humans to defeat the ancient dragons is the Nibelung family."

"Nibelungen...?" Alan muttered, "This name is really strange..."

"After all, this is a family from ancient times, so it's normal for the name to be strange."

"Brother, if the ancient dragon is so difficult to deal with, how did the Nibelungen family lead humans to defeat the ancient dragon? Could it be that they were spending their lives bit by bit, right?"

"In the early days of the Ancient Dragon War, humankind's method of warfare was indeed the human sea tactic, using human lives to gain victory."

"But after 30 years of using this style of play, it can no longer be used because humans can't afford it."

"However, at this moment, the Nibelung family discovered the weakness of the ancient dragon."

"Gu Long hates water very much, and he also likes golden shiny things very much."

"The Nibelungen family took advantage of these two characteristics of the ancient dragon to build a huge fleet."

"This fleet has become the decisive weapon to defeat the ancient dragon."

"The Nibelungen family drove the fleet to the middle of the wide river and piled gold on the deck of the ship to attract the ancient dragons."

"The ancient dragon who was attracted by the gold did not dare to approach the fleet because he hated water."

"At the same time, because I like gold, I am reluctant to leave."

"These ancient dragons flying in mid-air, not knowing whether to leave or dive, have become the best living targets."

"Humans used crossbows to shoot down these ancient dragons."

"It was also at this time that humankind's crossbow-making technology advanced by leaps and bounds."
