Chapter 1319: Their respective battlefields (Part )
As the curtains of fierce battles opened one after another, sharp blade lights and magical lights intertwined, and one violent energy wave after another surged, causing the huge mountain to tremble slightly.
In the deepest part of the dragon's lair, thick dragon mirage fog filled the air, and the darkness was gray and white everywhere, making it difficult to see the scenery inside.
"My great king, some little bugs are attacking us."
In the swirling dark fog, a huge dragon figure lowered its head and retracted its wing membranes, reporting to another even larger figure: "According to reports, traces of tree people, dwarves, wood elves, and even tiny human races were found, and their purpose is still unclear."
"Are they all here? That saves me the trouble of looking for them one by one later."
The high-ranking dragon shadow's low and hoarse voice sounded, and he said calmly: "As for the purpose of these little bugs, it is obvious that they appeared at this time point."
"My king, do you mean that they are planning to disrupt the Dragon King's ceremony?"
There was a hint of disbelief in the voice of the giant dragon figure, and he asked in confusion: "But how did these ants know that the ceremony was about to begin?"
After saying that, the giant dragon figure seemed to remember something and blurted out, "Could it be that Hong Ye is behind this?"
"It must be so. But I came just in time. This stubborn little thing had managed to escape once before. This time I will not let her go. I will definitely eradicate her completely."
The high-ranking dragon shadow's tone was still calm and he said with disdain, "Let them come. This will soon be the place where I am crowned, and it will also be their burial place. Becoming my enemy will be the biggest mistake these little bugs make. They will soon be reduced to ashes because of their ignorance and arrogance."
"My king is right. They will never know what we have deployed deep in this nest. It will become their eternal nightmare."
The giant dragon also snorted in contempt, and then asked in confusion: "My king, there is one thing I don't understand. Why did those ants who were defeated by us unite again? It can't be because of that ignorant new human leader, right?"
"This is the only explanation. Although it sounds ridiculous, these ants are indeed trying to shake the tree. It seems that my decision to wipe out the human race is correct. Ants have no value in existence at all."
The high-ranking dragon's golden eyes flashed with a dazzling cold light in the mist, and he said with murderous intent: "Forget it, this will eventually become their burial place. We can continue to prepare for the ceremony."
"Yes, my king."
The giant dragon lowered its huge head again and hid in a dark nest. The dragon figure at a higher position also turned around and left, and soon disappeared.
Deep in the huge and mysterious dragon's cave, only thick fog was left, still swirling in the darkness. Faintly, there seemed to be huge black shadows wandering around, making it impossible to see clearly.
Just as silence returned to the depths of the dragon's lair, at the other end of the dragon's lair, the fierce battle intensified.
Outside the three entrances covered by the absolute defense barrier, the roars of giant dragons resounded through the world. Huge dragon shadows broke through the fog, swooping back and forth with their mouths wide open, continuously spewing raging flames towards the entrance of the nest covered by the absolute defense barrier of the wood elves.
Under the reflection of the flames in the sky, the entire mountain top was plunged into a sea of red, even the sand and rocks began to burn, and there was thick smoke and charred everywhere.
Amidst the flames, not only were there groups of dragons dancing wildly in the sky, but there were also a large number of stone golem puppets with flaming flames appearing on the ground. They were obviously summoned by the dragons, and they were also throwing flints towards the entrance frantically. The earth was burning, and with the raging flames constantly falling from the sky, it was like doomsday.
"Fire alternately with the anti-aircraft magic cannons. Never stop for even a second!"
Inside the entrance of the dragon's lair, Chris shouted at the top of her lungs, commanding the wood fairy soldiers to counterattack outside the lair.
In front of them, the entire entrance to the nest was completely covered in flames. Despite the barrier of the absolute defense barrier, the temperature was still rising rapidly, and heat waves were rolling everywhere, as if they were facing a burning gate to purgatory.
"Master, the flames at the entrance to the lair never stop. We have completely lost our view of the outside world and cannot see the dragon's flight path. We are unable to focus our fire on it. In addition, there seem to be a large number of enemy fire summons on the ground!"
A dwarf elder had a solemn look on his face as he reported, "This temporary absolute defense barrier cannot completely block out the heat. The soldiers at the front feel as if they are being roasted. Their morale is rapidly declining!"
"Distribute all the fire resistance potions and take out all the magic scrolls that provide additional resistance. Send all the ice and water magicians to the side of the entrance to help resist the local summons on the ground. Even if we have to shoot blindly, we must prevent them from approaching the cave entrance at will."
Chris wiped the sweat from her fair forehead and ordered, "No matter what, we must not let their flames spread to the inside of the nest!"
After receiving Chris's order, the dwarf elf elder touched his chest and saluted, then hurriedly carried out the order.
Looking at the elder's departing back, Chris didn't have time to catch her breath, and looked at the makeshift magic towers around her.
These magic towers that are specifically used to supply magic power to the absolute defense barrier are all hollow structures, and you can clearly see the wood fairy soldiers sitting cross-legged inside and concentrating on supplying energy.
Under the blazing flames outside the entrance, the faces with their eyes tightly closed were sometimes clear and sometimes blurred. However, the only thing that remained unchanged was the increasingly paler color on their faces. This undoubtedly meant that the magic power in the soldiers' bodies was being consumed rapidly.
"The power of dragon breath is indeed extremely astonishing. Fortunately, His Majesty the Human Race replenished tens of thousands of energy recovery potions. Although the magic power is consumed quite quickly, it seems that we can at least hold on for a while longer."
Chris thought so and turned to look at the other end of the entrance.
There was no battle taking place there. One could only see huge tree shadows in the depths fighting fiercely with the golem puppets.
At the same time, the dwarf soldiers who were constantly coming through the portal for reinforcement were also quickly gathering and forming a formation, and heading towards the entrance for reinforcement. However, the portal could only allow one person to pass through at a time, so the speed was relatively limited.
"Although the speed is slow, there are reinforcements coming in after all."
Just as Chris thought of this, an urgent magic communication sounded: "Master Patriarch, there are more and more golem puppets attacking from the depths of the entrance to Nest No. 2, almost reaching tens of thousands, which is far beyond our combat power!"
"What? I'll be right over!"
Upon hearing the sound, Chris no longer cared about the dwarf elf soldiers who were coming to reinforce her, and flew straight towards the portal from the opposite direction.
Because Chris was petite and the dwarves were only halfway up the door, they could just pass through the gap in the upper part of the door.
After returning to the Ice Stone Gate, Chris didn't have time to say hello to the other dwarves, and ran towards the portal leading to the entrance of Nest No. 2.
Although this is a bit troublesome, it is undoubtedly the best way to quickly move between the three wood goblin positions.
Diving into the No. 2 wood fairy position, the roar of the magic cannon immediately reached Chris's ears.
Following the sound, Chris noticed that the situation here was completely different from the first position.
At the entrance of the lair, the dragon flames were relatively sparse, the attacks were not so intensive, and the deployed troops were relatively limited. On the other end, magical light and sharp arrows were intertwined, and the enemy and our side were fighting fiercely.
Just as the report said, outside the barrier wall, there was a black mass of tall and strong enemy golem puppets, extending all the way to the depths of the nest, with almost no end in sight.
The wood fairy soldiers set up rows of magic cannons and formed a mixed formation with the archer alchemy puppets commanded by the dwarf elf soldiers who were coming to support them, and were pouring dense attacks on the enemy.
However, despite the impressive attack power of our front line, the defensive power of the enemy's flame-patterned armor was extremely amazing. They were like unstoppable steel giants, holding huge shields and advancing steadily under dense artillery fire. They also fought back with arrows and javelins, which crackled on the wall of our barrier.
Amid the flying attacks, only strong warriors above level five can kill these thick-skinned steel soldiers in one blow. But as soon as one team is knocked down, another will immediately take their place, as if there is no end.
"Earth Spear Shattering Dragon Kill!"
Seeing this scene, Chris waved the staff in her hand, and a giant earth gun dozens of meters long instantly formed and shot straight towards the opponent's camp.
Wherever the extremely sharp giant spear went, those burly golem puppets shattered like paper. The momentum was extremely shocking, and it penetrated the entire densely packed enemy camp.
But as the giant gun disappeared deep into the nest, the gap in the enemy's formation was instantly filled up, and Chris even noticed it with surprise.
Under the premise that the summoning circle did not light up, the enemy golem puppets that had fallen apart were slowly reconstructed on the spot, without disappearing into thin air at all.
"This... is this a magic circle that requires top-level magic crystals to create a golem puppet?"
While Chris was amazed, she soon noticed the complex magical patterns on the walls of the dragon's lair.
"Chief, it is the golem puppet that maintains the magic circle!"
Ober rushed over and confirmed to Chris, "I noticed just now that under the effect of the golem puppet maintenance array, these golem puppets will always be in a constant number that cannot be eliminated!"
"Then we can only think of a way to break the magic circle that maintains it?"
Chris frowned and flew to a higher place in the nest, trying to sense the location of the center of the formation.
"It's useless, Patriarch. The center of the formation is not at the entrance of the dragon's lair. It's probably in the deepest part of the abyss. This is just the edge of the extended formation!"
Ober shook his head helplessly and responded, "I have tried it many times just now. Even if the magic patterns on the cave wall are destroyed, the magic array can be automatically repaired immediately, unless the deepest part of the array is destroyed."
"So, we can only hold on here? Well, the space here is narrow, and tens of thousands of fourth-level puppets cannot be fully deployed. At least before the magic power is exhausted, we may not be at a disadvantage!"
Chris's eyebrows immediately relaxed, and she nodded to Ober and said, "Tell the wood elf soldiers to stop attacking and focus on providing energy for the absolute defense barrier. The task of attacking will be left to the dwarf elves. At least they can delay the opponent's attack to a certain extent!"
After that, Chris and Ober took action separately, one notifying the dwarf and the other executing the order.
Chris clearly understood that this was not the main attack direction of the red dragons from the outside world, and the defensive pressure on the other end was relatively small. Even if these golem puppets could not be destroyed, as long as the absolute defensive barrier was maintained and not broken, it would undoubtedly be able to reduce Lei Xiao's pressure to a great extent.
However, just when Chris had just finished communicating with the dwarf general, something strange happened.
The giant dragons that were frantically attacking the first position seemed to have noticed something. A considerable number of them changed direction and began to attack the other two nest entrances, including position No. 2.
All of a sudden, jets of spurts of hot dragon breath broke through the fog and instantly exploded on the barrier wall behind Chris, forming a giant curtain of fire that completely covered the cave entrance.
On the ground outside, densely packed flint stone men also appeared, instantly doubling the defensive pressure on the other end.
Under the double attack of the giant dragon and the golem puppet, the magical light flickering on the barrier wall became noticeably dimmer, and caught off guard, the petite bodies of many wood elves that were supplying energy began to tremble.
This is not over yet. The air deep in the cave was filled with dark shadows, and a group of brand new flame-armored golem puppets with wings on their backs were rushing over, attacking the barrier wall like meteors.
Before Chris could react, the same situation was reported from position No. 3.
"Chief, it seems that the other party is determined to break through our defense line."
Ober's old face was full of solemnity. He frowned and asked, "What should we do now? The situation at position 3 seems to be even worse than here."
"The more they want to break through here, the more we must not let them succeed!"
Chris didn't hesitate, and immediately waved her hand and said: "No matter what the cost, we must protect the back of His Majesty the Human Race!"
After hearing Chris's words, all the wood elves and dwarfs nodded heavily, with a determined look on their faces as if they were ready to die.
At the same time that Chris was leading the wood elves to fight, following Lei Xiao's footsteps, the tree people had already blocked the crossroads in various parts of the nest to prevent the dragons inside the nest from stabbing Lei Xiao and his group from behind as they moved deeper into the nest.
Especially at the first position that Lei Xiao and his group passed, a large number of treeman soldiers were already fighting fiercely with countless alchemical puppets, and the scene was extremely intense.
The most crucial thing is that the tree people scattered everywhere are not protected by the absolute defense barrier, and the dragons awakened in various places in the nest are already very close to them.
