The portals faded with the death of the Bone Dragon, and a huge cheer went up from the villagers. Today was a resounding victory, not a single Orc had been lost, and the village walls hadn't been breached.
The Red Dragon flew back to land in the village, then transformed back into her human form.
Tessa came down from Thor's back, still wearing her [Dragon Armour] skill, and in Dragonkin form, fully scaled with a long red tail.
She clasped her hands in a formal military greeting and bowed to the dragon. "Avatar. It is an honour to meet you."
The dragon smiled at her. "You may all call me Priestess Delilah. I was never one for formality outside of combat. Overlord Karl, thank you for that defensive skill. It made today's work a particular joy.
Sister Tessa, you have the most wonderful mount as a companion. Don't let him escape you.
Now that I have everyone's attention, I will brief you all on the situation. Lord Bomgon recently suffered a defeat at the hands of the Lord of Drodh, which cost a huge portion of their fleet's wealth, as well as the permanent death of more than one of the senior Lieutenants under him.
Following that, there was an incident where a Totem Ranked Lich Lord was defeated and his Phylactery destroyed.
Now, with repeated defeats along the border, the intensity of the battles has been increasing by the day, and it is suspected that the Bomgon nation is gearing up for a full invasion.
Your strategy of having them sacrifice as many of the lower undead as possible was a brilliant strategic move, as without the bodies, it will be difficult for the Bomgon Army to replace their losses, but the size of their amassed hordes is still staggering."
Dana smirked at Karl, and Ophelia rumbled with laughter as Tessa cleared her throat. "Priestess Delilah, I believe we might be somewhat responsible for this situation. We were at the defeat of the Bomgon fleets in Drodh. The Lich Lord whose phylactery was lost was also us. Now, I can't claim that we were more than a drop in the bucket of the undead lost along the border, but we are still here." Tessa explained.
