Military Genius Came To Another World with Zizhi Tongjian

v5 Chapter 884: Ancient Dragon War

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

   It's late at night now.

   At this point in time, all normal humans are about to fall asleep.

   In addition to the patrols and guards at the main camp of the East Route Army, there are only a few people who have not fallen asleep.

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

   At this moment, Su Cheng and Alan’s big account.

   "Brother, tell me a bedtime story."

   Just as Alan climbed onto her bed, she said to Su Cheng.

   As soon as Alan's voice fell, Su Cheng's eyes full of compassion, who was standing next to her bed, drew.

   "...Why look at me with such a strange look?" Alan pouted dissatisfiedly.

   "...I'm just feeling sad for my sister being so naive." Su Cheng sighed lightly, "If I remember correctly, Alan, are you 18 years old this year?"

   "If you don't grow tall, why not grow your mind?"

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

   I don’t know what the reason is, Alan has not grown any longer since she was 14 years old.

   In addition to being short, Alan doesn't seem to have a long mind. He always makes childish demands that only children can make, and makes childish words that only children can say.

   "...Brother, you have changed." Alan cast a complaining look at Su Cheng, "You weren't like this before. I used to say that I wanted to hear bedtime stories, and you would tell me nothing."

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

   Su Cheng originally planned to spend the night in Alisha's camp tonight.

   Now suddenly hearing Alan’s request to "listen to bedtime stories" made Su Cheng feel embarrassed.

   After weighing it for a while, Su Cheng finally chose to sigh lightly, and then pulled a chair next to him.

   While sitting on this chair, Su Cheng asked Alan:

   "...what do you want to hear? Try to pick a short story."

   After weighing the left and right, Su Cheng, who didn't want Eliza to wait for a long time and didn't want her sister to be sad, decided to coax Alan to sleep as fast as possible, and then rushed to Eliza's camp as fast as possible.

   "Tell some interesting stories." Alan said excitedly.

   Su Cheng is willing to stay and tell her bedtime stories, which makes Alan very excited.

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

   After sighing helplessly again, Su Cheng continued:

   "Then I will tell you the story of the Ancient Dragon War."

   "The Ancient Dragon War? What is that? It sounds so cool. Okay, let's talk about it, brother."

   "Good, good, good."

   After saying 3 good words, Su Cheng cleared his throat:

   "A long, long time ago, before mankind began to formally compile history books, this world had a terrifying creature-dragon, now also called ancient dragon."

   "Ancient dragon?" Alan exclaimed, "Is there really a dragon in this world? I always thought it was made up by bards."

   "Of course there are dragons in this world." Su Cheng said grimly, "In many books, there are accounts of ancient dragons."

   "Although the existing books have different descriptions of the ancient dragon, the ancient dragon did exist in this world-this is unquestionable."

   "'Once'?" Alan keenly grasped a word that Su Cheng had just said, "Is Gu Long gone now?"

   "Yes, the ancient dragon has long been extinct. I will tell you how the ancient dragon became extinct."

After    paused, Su Cheng continued:

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

   "The ancient dragon is so strong that even us humans can't compete with it."

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

   "Stay lingering until we invented the iron weapon."

   "The large-scale installation of iron weapons has given humans the ability to penetrate the scales of the ancient dragon. It has given humans the power to contend with the ancient dragon."

   "After hundreds of years of nourishing energy, a family has emerged from the human side."

   "Under the call and leadership of this family, mankind officially launched a challenge to the ancient dragon."

   "This war between humans and the ancient dragon is the'War of the ancient dragon'."

"Although humans already have iron weapons that can compete with the ancient dragons, it is still very difficult to defeat the ancient dragons. After all, the size of each other is too different. Each ancient dragon is as huge as a hill. At the same time-the ancient dragon still has Wings have a short-lived ability to stay in the air."

   "According to books, every time you kill an ancient dragon, you have to pay 500 to 1,000 soldiers' lives."

   "Because it is extremely difficult to kill the ancient dragon, this ancient dragon war lasted for nearly a hundred years. It is the first'Hundred Years War' in the world."

   "Humans have exhausted everything for this war between the two species, exhausted almost all of their vitality, and finally wiped out all the ancient dragons in the world and won this century-long ‘old dragon war’."

   "According to books, the colony of ancient dragons is mainly located in the western part of our Britannia Empire, so the main battlefield of the ancient dragon war is mainly located here."

   "The first family to launch the call to slay the dragon and the leader to defeat the ancient dragon~lightnovelpub.net~ is the Nibelungen family."

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

   "After all, it's a family from the ancient times. It's normal to have a strange name."

   "Brother, since the ancient dragon is so difficult to deal with, how did the Nibelungen family lead the humans to defeat the ancient dragon? Wouldn't it be a little bit of human life?"

   "In the early days of the Ancient Dragon War, the tactics of mankind were indeed human tactics, using human lives to win victory."

   "But after using this style of play for 30 years, it can no longer be used for humans."

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

   "Gu Long hates water very much, and likes glittering things very much."

   "The Nibelungen family used 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 center of the wide river, and piled gold on the deck of the ship to attract ancient dragons."

   "The ancient dragon, attracted by gold, dare not approach the fleet because he hates water."

   "At the same time, because I like gold, I still refuse to leave."

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

   "Humans shot down this ancient dragon with a bow and crossbow."

   "It was also at this time that the technology of making bows and crossbows by humans has achieved rapid progress."
