Looking at the gigantic dragons that were originally in tatters being resurrected in an instant, the barbarians below also stopped shouting.
At that moment, the Orc King put on a solemn expression. He was certain that there was nothing in this world that could restore an army that was severely injured by the Behemoth in such a short period of time. In that case, it proved that this army didn't belong to this world. They could only have come from the gods!
At this thought, the Orc King clenched his fists in reluctance.
If it weren't for the Behemoth, he could only linger on at death's door. Could it be that without a powerful backer, the Orc King couldn't rise again?
Even though the old priest vowed that the new, powerful presence wouldn't be as brutal as the Demons, what difference did it make?
Could it be that the Orcs could only be slaves to other beings forever and couldn't rely on their own strength to survive?
"Roar — — —!"
Upon seeing the dragons coming back to their senses, the Behemoth let out a snarl and raised its right arm.
Along with this action, a boulder appeared in Behemoth's hand.
Then, it hurled it at the dragons again.
This time, the dragons dodged it immediately, but they didn't retaliate immediately. Instead, they soared into the sky, widening the distance between them and the Behemoth.
What are they doing?
Looking at this scene, the three leaders were taken aback.
After witnessing the Behemoth's prowess, they grew more confident in defending against it.
This scene also proved that the Behemoth was far stronger than the dragons, which also meant that the dragons couldn't attack at will.
However, the dragons didn't retreat immediately. Instead, they widened the distance between them and the humans.
Even though they could indeed avoid the Behemoth's attack by flying into the sky, what else could they do?
What was the point of just waiting?
Even though the dragons were capable of launching aerial attacks, the distance between them was too great, which greatly reduced the power of their cannons. Moreover, the shamans were casting spells above the alliance's base camp.
In this case, the dragons' cannons were almost meaningless. So what exactly were the dragons waiting for?
The werewolf leader knitted his brows. He stared at the dragons for a while and suddenly turned pale with fright.
"Oh no, they're stalling for time!"
"Huh?"
Upon hearing the werewolf leader's words, the Orc King and Giant Queen were taken aback. Then, they reacted immediately.
Indeed. Facing the Behemoth, the dragons neither fled nor attacked. Instead, they widened the distance between them.
There was definitely something wrong. The dragons were either thinking of countermeasures or stalling for time.
Logically speaking, both possibilities existed. However, the moment the werewolf leader said that the other party was stalling for time, the beastman king and the giant queen immediately felt their hearts palpitate. Perhaps it was an instinctive reaction that came from being on the battlefield for a long time.
Perhaps instinctively, they sensed that something terrifying was about to happen.
Their inner consciousness was also frantically reminding them that they had to attack immediately. Otherwise, they would be dead for sure!
"Behemoth, Behemoth!"
Although there was no concrete evidence to prove this conjecture, the Giant Queen immediately issued an order — among the barbarians, only the giants who had inherited the bloodline of the gods could control ancient behemoths like the Behemoth.
The reason why the Behemoth participated in battle with the alliance army was to order.
And this was also the bonus brought about by the Giant God.
Back when the Behemoth was on the verge of extinction, it was the Giant God who took in the remaining Behemoths. It was also because of this that these behemoths fought for the Giant God.
At that moment, upon hearing the Giant Queen's order, the Behemoth let out a furious roar. Then, it spread its arms and waved its arms at the Giant Dragon Army in the sky.
Soon, along with the Behemoth's movement, a whistling tornado rose from the ground and swept toward the Giant Dragon Army.
In the face of the Behemoth's attack, the Giant Dragons didn't even have to fire their cannons this time. They immediately flapped their wings and spread far away, once again dodging the tornado.
Something must be wrong!
Upon seeing the Giant Dragons' abnormal behavior, the three of them became even more certain of their thoughts.
The Giant Dragons were so mighty, yet they fled so shamelessly without putting up any resistance. They wouldn't believe that there was nothing fishy going on.
If it was possible, these barbarians also hoped that they could directly annihilate these guys.
However, the previously powerful Giant Dragons didn't care about their dignity at all. Upon seeing that the Behemoth was about to attack, they immediately ran far away like frightened rabbits.
The barbarian soldiers roared with laughter when they saw this scene. Especially the barbarian soldiers who had been defeated before. Their laughter was the loudest.
In their opinion, this was as far as the monsters could go.
Although they had performed very well previously, in front of the Behemoth, they were nothing more than clay chickens and pottery dogs!
"Damn it!"
The Giant Queen frowned when she saw the Giant Dragons retreat.
As the leader, she naturally wouldn't be as naive as the soldiers under her command.
A battle wasn't a duel. It wasn't about dignity but victory.
So what if they were in a sorry state now?
More importantly, why were they stalling for time like this?
Looking at the last blood-red glow of the setting sun that appeared between the mountains, the Giant Queen felt inexplicably nervous.
For some reason, she felt that the Giant Dragons' behavior was a little strange.
After all, from the beginning, the Giant Queen and the others thought that the Behemoth should be subordinates sent by the human gods.
Most of those gods were from the Light Faction. Although this had nothing to do with justice or evil, it more or less had something to do with light.
Therefore, they would instinctively think that the Giant Dragons' combat power would be stronger during the day.
And the night had always been the domain of darkness. Logically speaking, these gods shouldn't casually attack in a domain they weren't good at.
But why were the Giant Dragons stalling for time?
Could it be that they wanted to delay until the night?
But what was the point of that?
Could it be that they thought the darkness could be used as a cover to avoid the Behemoth's attack?
Just as the Giant Queen was thinking hard, the Behemoth launched another attack on the Giant Dragons. But this time, the Giant Dragons fled directly above the clouds. This way, they couldn't attack the lower realm, and the Behemoth couldn't hit them either. For a time, the two sides fell into a stalemate.
But almost no one noticed that the sun had already set.
The last ray of bright red light disappeared from the horizon, and immediately after, the land fell into darkness again.
At that moment, the barbarian soldiers naturally raised their torches and looked into the sky.
But unfortunately, their torches were only torches, after all. It was impossible for them to see what was happening in the starry night sky.
And this also made the three leaders further believe that the reason the Giant Dragons fled without a care for their reputation was to launch a surprise attack in the darkness.
After all, although the Behemoth was powerful, it was also a living creature that needed rest and energy to recover.
On the other hand, the Giant Dragons didn't seem to need rest or replenishment.
In this case, if the Giant Dragons continued this harassment tactic, it would indeed be troublesome …
"Hahaha …!"
At that moment, a string of bell-like laughter suddenly sounded. Although the voice wasn't loud, it was incomparably clear in the dark starry sky.
And when they heard this voice, everyone was taken aback.
Because no matter how they listened to it, it sounded like the happy laughter of a little girl. But here … Where did this little girl come from?
"Hahaha … Hahaha …!!"
Just as everyone was puzzled, they heard another series of laughter. It was as if a child suddenly came to a playground and let out the kind of cheerful laughter that would come from seeing countless novel toys. But at this moment, when everyone heard it, they felt a chill for no reason.
That was because the joy contained within that laughter was simply too pure.
That's right, pure.
It was as if the Giant Dragons were simply happy for the sake of having fun.
Of course, such naivety and simplicity wasn't a bad thing, but it also depended on the time and place.
If it was a lush grassland full of dreamy scenery, it would naturally be an incomparably beautiful picture.
But if it appeared on such a smoke-filled battlefield, then it would be as if a child's graffiti suddenly appeared in a realistic oil painting, with a rather obvious sense of strangeness and falseness.
And at that moment, the Giant Queen was also surprised to discover that the Behemoth, which was originally in an attacking posture, had curled up its body and stared at the sky as if it was facing a formidable enemy.
Judging from its behavior, it seemed as though some terrifying monster in the depths of the dark night sky would devour it in one bite.
But this was impossible no matter how one thought about it. With the Behemoth's powerful strength, who in this world could be its match?
And at that moment, under the illumination of the flames, a slender, petite figure appeared before everyone silently.
It was a little girl dressed in a red and white dress, with a series of crystals spread out like wings on her back and a huge white nightcap on her head.
She hovered in midair, staring at the Behemoth with her scarlet eyes without blinking.
"So big, so big. This is the first time Fran has seen such a huge puppy.
Big Brother Overlord is so nice to let Fran play with such a toy … "
What the hell is going on?
Looking at the little girl, everyone couldn't come back to their senses for an instant. But before they figured out what was going on, the little girl revealed a flowery smile again.
"Alright then, this big puppy shall play with Fran!"
Along with this sentence, Fran extended her right hand toward the Behemoth and squeezed it hard.
