**Illager Empire's Invasion of Dragonspire** is a major confrontation between the  Illager Empire and the  Ender Watchers.

## Preparations

In an open field in the overworld, rows upon rows of of vindicators and pillagers march towards a ginormous portal structure. Before it, Lord Zandalfor uses his Orb of Dominance powers to prepare an extremely huge interdimensional portal large enough for his entire army to traverse as several Enchanters assist him. Meanwhile, the Ender Watchers begin mobilizing their armies, hundreds of endermen march forward, the Ender Dragon flies above the battalions, fearless of the impending doom.

## The First Wave

After some time, the orange portal briefly glows bright before transforming into a black void, the gateway to the End. The portal flashes in the end, alerting the End that the Illagers would be coming any second now. The first wave of the invasion begins, hordes of pillagers charge in as the loud warhorn blares. Zeganirn screeches, as the rest of endermen army summoned their ender armblades. Ceris ran in first, delivering devastating blows to the first row of pillagers with the Ender Greatsword. Another row plowed, but Zeganirn and several other Endermen teleported in the air and drop down, tearing the pillagers from the inside. Vordus falls back to the rear making use of the Dragonseer's Staff's long range as sounds of sword clashing flood the battlefield. Several pillagers try to outflank and bombard the Ender Dragon with arrows, but the dragon easily deflects the puny attack with the swipe of her tail and kills them in the process, then finally finishes the nearby captain off, incinerating him to a crisp.

## The Dragon's Fall

Soon, the two warlords Chaos and Zandalfor enter the battlefield crossing the portal and charge into the dragon as she growled. Zandalfor teleports above and blasts both the beast's fragile wing membranes with orb missiles, crippling her mobility. As Chaos approached the dragon's head, she tries to headbash the commander, but he blocks the attack with his shield and slams his mace into her head, knocking her head up as Zandalfor jumps above the dragon's head. Before the dragon could burn him to crisp, the king launches the Dominance Laser Beam straight into her throat, causing its insides to explode, killing her.

## The Second Wave

After the dragon's dead body thumps on the ground, Trojan, mounting on his ravager, and Eclipsor cross through the portal, leading the more powerful Vindicators and Phantoms into the fray, as well as Infernius. An enderman who just slayed a pillager sees a red phantom flying straight to him. It instinctively screeched and raised its arm, but was killed by the explosion of the phantom. Eclipsor begins raining the endermen down with arcane arrows, while the kamikaze phantoms swoop down and bombarded to the enderman horde.

With the dragon killed, Vordus tries to defend himself by blasting arcane bullets at the Illagers, before he was hit by Infernius' fireball, sending him down the floor. Upon seeing Vordus struck down, Ceris attempts to rush to his aid, only to be hit by the pyromancer as well. The queen is pummeled to the air, burnt and tossed to the ground. With her mask burnt, she looks up angrily as Infernius watches from far above. She regains her composure and stands up again, as the pyromancer sets ablaze and boosts at the queen. As the skeleton zooms closer, Ceris teleports in and slices the skeleton with her greatsword before grabbing him by the head and slams him to the floor. She quickly teleports in front of the skeleton before he could recharge his flames, and stabs him multiple times in the torso with her armblades, before punching and kicking Infernius multiple times, and finally throws him away. Infernius sits up, shaking in fear as the queen walks forward. She teleports in front of Infernius and uses all her power to unleash a barrage of punches at Infernius at the speed of sound, before performing a final punch that sends him straight to the void.

## The Third Wave

Wounded from the previous attack and energy depleted, she spits out blood, and looks up at the portal, seeing seven redstone golems coming out with a larger Redstone Monstrosity who roars loudly upon its arrival.

Zeganirn is pinned on the ground by Chaos who repeatedly slams his shield to overwhelm him, then uses his mace to finish him off, but fortunately he teleports away the moment before he is hit. Vordus’ eyes blackened, lying on the ground as dead with several illager and enderman corpses around him. Meanwhile Ceris uses the ender eye in Vordus' staff to teleport and safeguard the End Crystals inside the ender chest before scattering them throughout the overworld. Meanwhile, the Redstone Golems and Monstrosity ravage the remaining endermen with relative ease.

## The Matriarch's Last Stand

Ceris turns to her right as Zandalfor teleports a safe distance from her, commanding her to yield. Ceris clenches her fists, before marching towards the illager with a firm face. Zandalfor, surprised and slightly angered, toggles his orange eye and walks towards her. Ceris goes in, trying to stab Zandalfor with her ender armblades, only to be blocked by the Illager's own orb shield. She manages to score a successful stab before getting impaled in the chest by Zandalfor. The illager pulls his glaive out and slices her across the chest, before switching to his Orb Staff and lifts her in the air, blasting her before tossing her off. Zandalfor then charges his staff before pointing it at Ceris, unleashing a the Dominance Laser Beam that hit her and sent Ceris tumbling back. As Zandalfor teleports above her for the finishing blow, Ceris manages to block the glaive with her armblades and closes her eyes, accepting defeat. As the blades give way, Zeganirn, who had survived Chaos, teleports to the Chest, grabbing it and teleporting to the Overworld. Zandalfor curses, before noticing Ceris trying to rise up. Infuriated, he kicks her face, knocking the queen out.

The Dragonspire has finally fallen to the Illagers. Lord Zandalfor asserts dominance of the End despite losing the End Crystals. The Illagers and redstone machines celebrate their triumph, the warhorn blares and the Redstone Monstrosity triumphantly roared as Zandalfor looks at them with a satisfied smirk.

## Aftermath

After the battle, the Illagers quickly assume control of Dragonspire, with Ceris and the remaining endermen imprisoned. Zandalfor hires a group of nether assassins to hunt Zeganirn and the crystals.

## Trivia

* In this battle, Zandalfor prepared the explosive phantoms against the potential end ships the End might have. However after finding that the Ender Watchers don't have any in the confrontation, Eclipsor commands them all to the bombard the endermen instead.
