Era Of Castles: Starting With 99 Dragon Eggs

Philip smiled. There was no anger on his face. He asked, "Then why don't we have a match first? The one who wins will spar with Mike first. What do you think?"

Everyone looked at Mike as if they were waiting for him to express his stance.

Mike smiled bitterly and nodded.

Philip and the King Slayer soared into the sky. A moment later, the battle in the sky ended.

To everyone's surprise, King Slayer was defeated. He fell heavily to the ground and did not speak for a long time. After a long time, he slowly said, "I see. You came from that place. In that case, I did not lose unjustly."

Philip helped King Slayer off the ground and said, "Hmph!"

He turned around again and said to Mike, "When are we going to spar again?"

Mike said, "We will fight again after you recover to your peak condition."

Philip nodded and did not refuse. He sat on the ground and crossed his legs to recover.

After ten hours, Philip slowly got up from the ground. He looked for Mike and said, "I have recovered."

Mike nodded.

The people who had gone back to their work gathered together again. They all wanted to see how strong Mike was.

Mike and Philip stood facing each other. Philip looked at Mike and said, "I hope you can give it your all later. Let me see how strong you really are."

Mike nodded. He pulled out his bone spear and pointed it at Philip.

Colorful scales grew out of Mike's body. Mike's body quickly strengthened after fusing with Eve. Black Dragon also joined in the fusion. A pair of black and white wings grew out of Mike's back, his body instantly became light and lithe.

Philip's eyes also became sharp, and his body became as light and free as the wind.

"Wind Elemental Sprites? They're probably immune to physical attacks. No wonder the King Slayer lost. This is not going to be easy."

Mike looked at Philip and said, "I'm going to start."

Philip nodded. The next second, Mike appeared in front of him, and countless Spear Shadows appeared alongside his long spear, like a storm, enveloping Philip.

Philip hurriedly spread out his divine power. In the next second, two golden rays of divine light shot out from Mike's eyes. Philip's divine power was instantly torn apart.

Philip's expression changed. He quickly turned his body into an elemental form and dodged Mike's piercing attack.

However, the martial arts arena below was not so lucky. The martial arts arena that was ten miles away was smashed into dust. Smoke and dust rose into the sky.

Everyone's expression changed. They had all sensed Mike's strength at this moment, but what shocked them was not Mike's level, but his absolute suppression of Philip.

Philip gritted his teeth and turned into a wisp of wind, shuttling back and forth between Mike's Spear Shadows. He looked at Mike, his eyes filled with confusion. He did not understand why Mike was so strong. Mike was clearly only a high-tier 10-star expert, but he was able to suppress him, a heaven-tier 3-star expert, to the point that he could not fight back.

Osme shouted from the side, "Philip, fight back."

The veins on Philip's forehead bulged. He looked at Mike and finally gritted his teeth, turning into a gust of wind, escaping from Mike's attack range.

Then, with a serious expression, he pulled out the long sword at his waist and said to Mike. "Watch out, now."

The moment Nota saw the sword, he said, "Heaven-grade weapon!! It's a heaven-grade weapon that was blessed by the Summoner of God. This weapon probably has a 100% chance of having a High-level ability. Mike is probably going to lose."

Mike smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, no matter what kind of attack you have, I will be able to handle it."

Philip smiled at Mike. Then, powerful energy burst out from his long sword. With his long sword as the center, a huge tornado blew up between Heaven and Earth. Countless things were swept up, and nothing could withstand it.

Suddenly, a sun appeared in the storm. Dragons and phoenixes danced on the sun, and hundreds of beasts cried out in unison. Hundreds of beasts roared in unison and pulled the sun, easily piercing through the tornado and arriving in front of Philip.

Philip's mind was filled with white light. He did not know what to do. It was not until the sun stopped that he came back to his senses. He fell to the ground and panted heavily.

Mike put away his skill and reached out to pull Philip up. He looked at Philip and asked, "Are you alright?"

Philip shook his head and asked, "Can you tell me who you are?"

Mike smiled bitterly and said, "I am a vagabond who has lost his home. I am currently fighting for the chance to return to my home. If possible, I am willing to sacrifice my life for my home."

Philip looked at Mike in surprise and said, "I understand."

Mike looked at Philip and said, "One day, you will truly understand what I mean."

Mike returned to the main seat and said, "Everyone, we are all companions. In the future, we must work together to develop the mercenary group to become stronger."

Everyone agreed in unison.

Mike looked at the people around him: Little Jerry, Dragon, Nota, Hayden, Philip, Osme, Bello, King Slayer, Magical Wizard, Rui'en, and Kerry. These were the higher-ups of the mercenary group. Mike seemed to see hope in them to counterattack the Otherworld.

Mike smiled and said, "Magical Wizard, King Slayer, Rui'en, and Kerry, the four of you have come here. No one should know that you have become members of the mercenary group. I suggest that you hide your identities first and only appear in front of everyone when it's necessary."

The four of them agreed in unison.

Mike and Little Jerry looked at each other and saw the flame in each other's eyes.

Time passed very quickly. A year had passed, and the development of the mercenary group had entered a bottleneck.

Within a year, the mercenary group had nearly 100,000 conflicts with the other divine powers experts. Everyone in the castle was holding their breaths. They were waiting for Mike's orders.

"Since yesterday, in just 20 hours, the four Castle Lords, Gray Snake, Yuma, Wolf Cavalry, and Weiwu, have been harassing our base thousands of times on a small scale. This is if we don't count all the smaller Castle Lords who are working with them. If we count all of that, I think it should be more than 10,000 times. In these tens of thousands of harassments, our Dragon Castle lost 31 lives, 58 people who lost their combat ability, slightly injured 1,002 people, and lost tens of millions of gold coins."

The higher-ups of the mercenary group sat around the long table with different expressions. However, they were tacitly silent. Instead, they quietly looked at Mike, who was sitting on the main seat of the long table.. They were waiting for him to make a decision as soon as possible.
