Chapter 470: The Dragon Race's New Technology: Mass‑Producing War Puppets

The formation on the Dragon warship activates, the Magic Crystal shines, releasing powerful attack power.

Jiang Chen reacts swiftly, his wings vibrating, deftly dodging the attack.

Eight Dragon warships keep approaching and continue attacking, but unfortunately, they find it hard to hit a nimble target like Jiang Chen.

These warships were not originally meant to kill moving targets; they are better suited for siege.

Against fixed targets, the warships' effect is very significant.

But for a moving target like Jiang Chen, it's like using an anti‑aircraft cannon to shoot a mosquito—practically impossible to hit.

Jiang Chen's sixth sense is unusually sharp; his Spiritual Power spreads outward, allowing him to anticipate the attacks.

He deftly evades the attacks and quickly closes in on the Dragon warship.

His fingers lift slightly, then curl back.

Jiang Chen notices a massive number of thunder trees beneath the Mountain and realizes that casting a Curse could summon countless thunder trees to trouble him.

Although not especially frightened, Jiang Chen's extensive experience tells him that provoking a small trouble will invite a bigger one.

If he ends up provoking a World‑Class Boss thunder tree, that would be too troublesome.

The Curse cannot be used, and the toxic starburst cannot be used either.

Area‑of‑effect Skills are also unsuitable.

Jiang Chen briefly ponders, then his body suddenly lifts, soaring rapidly to two thousand meters altitude.

The Dragon warship also ascends with Jiang Chen, chasing upward.

Even at two thousand meters, the aging Curse and toxic starburst remain unusable, but abilities like Corpse Explosion and the Aura of the elemental lich are no longer affected.

Jiang Chen instantly unleashes the Undead Legion and the elemental lich all at once.

The flame lich has vanished, replaced by

toxic lich.

In an instant, layers of Aura appear beneath every Skeleton's feet.

The six great Auras alternate in flashing.

Ten thousand bolts of lightning strike the Dragon warships, a barrage of thunder unleashed, the momentum awe‑inspiring and grand.

The blows cause the Dragon warships' shields to deform one after another.

Ice layers form on the warships, instantly slowing their speed.

Moreover, the Aura's power penetrates the warships' protective shields, directly affecting the Dragon soldiers aboard.

The toxic Aura works similarly; over 30,000 toxic Auras stack, dealing more than 300,000 force damage to Dragon Warriors each second.

It's like a continuous 300,000‑force attack landing on you every second—no one can endure it.

The Dragon healers on the warship begin frantically healing.

The warship keeps counterattacking, the Magic Crystals operating at full power, unleashing a flood of attacks.

The Skeleton Berserker charges straight into the attacks; most attacks are dodged, and the occasional one that slips through is met with sheer resistance.

The Dragon warship's attacks are not enough to instantly kill the Skeleton Berserker; its comprehensive talent connections can share the damage.

The Great Mage and the divine archer act first; their involvement makes the Dragon warship's shields precarious.

The Dragon Sergeants in the warship rush out, knowing the warship cannot handle the Skeletons, so they must act themselves.

They never expected that a single Human Race individual could be so powerful.

What was originally a task for a butcher's knife now has become a human surrounded and beaten.

Jiang Chen sees squads of Dragon soldiers emerging; here they are all Dragon War Generals, each a being above Level 70.

Level 70 is the lowest rank here.

Over a thousand Dragon War Generals burst from the warship

charging out, making Jiang Chen feel something is off.

"Strange, these Dragon War Generals seem off,"

Jiang Chen has dealt with Dragon War Generals before, and has killed some.

Those Dragon War Generals were each very agile, with light in their eyes.

But the Dragon War Generals before him are extremely rigid, like puppets.

Looking at their appearance, their battle armor and height are identical.

Aside from their professions, there is no discernible difference between them.

Jiang Chen's thoughts race, traversing all his memories with the Dragon Race in a single second.

The Dragons he encountered in the Upper Space of the Ancient Battlefield were all very agile, each a self‑thinking being.

But the Dragons he later met on the Alien Battlefield began to feel off.

At the time he sensed something wrong; the other side was extremely rigid.

But he was troubled by a killing aura then and didn't ponder further.

In hindsight, that batch of Dragons from the Alien Battlefield was highly abnormal, very problematic.

These before him seem the same.

A bold conjecture suddenly springs to Jiang Chen's mind.

"Could it be that the Dragon Race has made a breakthrough, enabling mass production of war puppets?"

"If even Level 70 Dragon War Generals can be mass‑produced, that's terrifying,"

War puppets are not a new phenomenon; they appear in historical records.

The Dragon Race once deployed war puppets onto the battlefield.

However, the war puppets in the records were either very weak or few in number.

But now, it seems different.

After a thousand years of sealing, the Dragon Race seems to have broken through.

The Dragon War General has already clashed with the Skeleton Berserker.

Jiang Chen does not intervene; he observes carefully.

Gradually, he discovers

some clues.

These Dragon War Generals employ somewhat one‑dimensional tactics, and their fighting style appears slightly clumsy.

Aside from skill power, and being comparable to the Dragon War Generals in strength, speed, and constitution, their actual combat power still differs.

To verify his hypothesis, Jiang Chen also uses Detection Technique.

"Dragon Race Long Spear Warrior (ordinary War General)"

"Level: 70"

"Strength: 250000"

"Agility: 180000"

"Spirit: 20000"

"Constitution: 200000"

"Skill: Whirlwind Sweep"

"Traits: Defense Power Enhancement, Dragon Race Scale Armor Enhancement, Curse Resistance Enhancement."

A Level 70 ordinary Dragon War General has a total attribute of 650,000—hardly strong at all.

This aligns well with Jiang Chen's understanding of the Dragon Race.

Based on bloodline tiers, the Dragon Race can be divided into ordinary, high‑level, and retrograde three tiers.

Ordinary Dragon attributes are slightly stronger than the Human Race's Rare Profession holders, yet weaker than Mythological Class professionals.

High‑level Dragons surpass Mythological Class professionals; even High‑Level Mythological professionals lag slightly behind high‑level Dragons in pure attributes.

The retrograde tier of the Dragon Race can rival several top‑tier professions of the Human Race.

Among the three races, demons have the highest attributes, dragons are second, and humans are the weakest.

But combat power cannot be judged solely by attributes; skills and compatibility also matter.

The Human Race is by no means weaker among the three races; especially after Level 70, humans unlock flight, arguably surpassing the other two races.

However, when Jiang Chen sees these attributes, something feels off.

"The total attributes are correct, but why is the Spirit so weak?" Jiang Chen muses, the Level‑70 human

Dragon War General cannot possibly have only 20,000 Spirit points.

That isn't normal.

Then Jiang Chen's eyes brighten; he spots additional Dragons aboard the Dragon warship.

These Dragons are clearly different—eyes lively, faces richly expressive.

They see the Dragon War General's squad being overwhelmed by the Skeleton Berserker, each showing anxiety.

Looking at the battling Dragon War Generals, they know they cannot win, yet their expressions remain unchanged, still fighting with a "self‑sacrificial death" stance.

Jiang Chen now feels about seventy percent certain that these Dragon War Generals are not true Dragons but war puppets.

However, these war puppets are peculiar; even Detection Technique is deceived by them.

Jiang Chen wants to get to the bottom of this.

Within the brief minute Jiang Chen spends pondering, a thousand Dragon War Generals have been slaughtered completely.

The Dragons on the warship clearly show panic.

They gape, shouting and screaming.

Jiang Chen guesses they are shouting "Run quickly!"

Sure enough, the Dragon warships turn and fly away toward the distance.

Jiang Chen watches them depart with his eyes wide open, making no attempt to chase.

The Dragon warships speed away so fast that, at Jiang Chen's current speed, pursuit is impossible.

"Direction recorded."

"Wind and Thunder Canyon is not the same direction; first go to Burial Thunder Canyon, then return to sort this out."

He murmurs softly, gathers the Undead Legion, and flies toward the distance.

The Dragon Race matter must be clarified, but there's no rush.

First head to Wind and Thunder Canyon to obtain what Antares wants.
