Chapter 1318 The Battle Begins
On the vast mountain top shrouded in mist, the entrance to the bottomless dragon's lair is dark and deep, and the rich magical light covering the surface appears and disappears from time to time, exuding an unshakable momentum.
Right in front of the entrance to the dragon's lair, more than 50 of our sixth-level warriors had their robes and hair fluttering in the wind, ready to attack.
"beat!"
As Lei Xiao's clear and concise commands came down, various single-target attack spells with extremely strong penetrating power appeared out of thin air, and quickly condensed on the tops of the colorful staffs, causing dust to fly and fog and clouds to rise around.
The next second, dazzling light shone across the sky and earth, and colorful attack spells shot out from our camp of strong men, just like meteors streaking across the sky, whizzing straight towards the center of the absolute defense barrier at the entrance of the cave.
boom! boom! boom!
The earth-shattering sound of magical explosions resounded throughout the world. In less than a second, sixty or seventy extremely penetrating attack spells arrived one after another and slammed heavily into the absolute defense barrier covering the entrance to the nest.
Among them, there are not only attack spells cast by our sixth-level magic-type strongmen, but also sixth-level attack magic scrolls activated by Lei Xiao, Broy, Cornette and other strong men on our side.
At the beginning, after more than a dozen attacks exploded one after another, the barrier wall with rich magical light was still as solid as a rock and could not be shaken at all.
But it was accompanied by more fierce attacks whistling in, constantly crashing and exploding on the wall of the barrier. Even the aftermath of the explosion could instantly turn the surrounding rocks into powder. The momentum and destructive power were extremely shocking.
In the blink of an eye, the seemingly indestructible absolute defense barrier soon began to show faint cracks, which then intensified under our continuous bombardment in a short period of time, until they spread rapidly like cracked earth.
However, until the dazzling and sharp magical power gradually faded, although it was on the verge of breaking, the absolute defense barrier covering the cave entrance was still not broken.
"continue."
Lei Xiao's eyes were as sharp as torches, and he waved his hand again.
As Lei Xiao finished his words, our sixth-level physical warriors and sixth-level alchemical puppets, who had been ready for a long time, rushed out one after another, sweeping towards the absolute defense barrier like hurricanes, and wildly waved their weapons to bombard the barrier wall.
This time, the crisp sound of glass breaking quickly echoed, and the shaky absolute defense barrier only lasted for a moment before it completely fell apart and turned into fragments that dissipated into the air.
This scene only took one or two seconds. Although the tremor caused by our attack on the barrier wall was earth-shaking and enough to attract the opponent's attention, it didn't matter since the barrier had been successfully shattered. Anyway, the opponent would definitely notice it when the barrier was broken, so one or two seconds would not make a difference.
As expected, at the moment the barrier was broken, a huge wave of energy surged out from the entrance of the dragon's lair that had lost its barrier. It was a sign that a large number of summoning arrays were being activated.
At the same time, the roars of angry dragons rang out in the distant sky and inside the dragon's lair, making people's scalps feel numb.
"The Dwarf Elf Corps will assist the Wood Elf Corps in setting up defenses at the entrances of the three nests. The Treeman Corps and other strong men will follow me to the depths!"
Lei Xiao's reaction was also extremely quick and he began to deploy immediately.
Under Lei Xiao's command, and with our side having already formulated a detailed battle plan, the entire army immediately began to move at a very fast speed.
The 15 wood goblin legions were divided into three groups, and they all spread their wings and flew high, heading towards their respective positions at high speed under the paths cleared by the elite dwarf elves' soldiers.
Lei Xiao led a group of our strong men and the treeman army and flew up at the first moment, rushing straight into the entrance of the dragon's nest in front.
"It actually broke such a strong absolute defense barrier in one fell swoop."
Seeing how smoothly our team moved and rushed to the nest in the blink of an eye, Serin and several other members of the same tribe could not help but look at each other in bewilderment.
Although they had a low status in the tribe, they also understood it clearly.
The cornerstones of this absolute defense barrier are all extremely high-quality magic crystals, and there are dozens of them. The mysterious energy-gathering array constructed with each piece is at least equal to the energy provided by one or more sixth-level strongmen. Unexpectedly, it was still completely shattered by Lei Xiao and his men.
Especially the activated sixth-order magic attack scrolls, which surprised Serin and others.
Since those battles, the dwarves, wood elves, and tree people have been blocked by the dragon clan for hundreds of years and unable to participate in the Shadow Market, so it is naturally impossible for them to obtain so many sixth-level magic scrolls.
This means that these scrolls were probably provided by the human race. However, the weakness of the human race is well known to all races. How did they obtain such expensive and rare trump cards?
Although it is hard to believe, there is obviously only one answer, and that is that it was written by the human emperor.
It was also because of his appearance that the human world was able to end the never-ending war in a short period of time, and at the same time formed an alliance with tree people, dwarves and wood elves.
And judging from the performance of these forces, the human race has obviously become the dominant force, which is simply incredible.
"No wonder Hong Ye, who is so arrogant and conceited, is willing to lower his head and fight for the human emperor. It seems that he is indeed extraordinary."
Serin's starry eyes were fixed on Lei Xiao's back with a very complicated look.
As a playmate who grew up with Hong Ye, although she has never admitted it, Hong Ye has always been the target of Serin's pursuit, and is also the baby dragon in other people's families in her parents' eyes.
Even after they grew up and became competitors, although they appeared to be extremely strong, Serin never thought that she could truly defeat Red Night until the night of destruction came.
Serin understood clearly that if Hong Ye had not been besieged and severely injured in that battle, and had not been forced to leave his homeland, which greatly affected his cultivation and improvement, he would probably be very close to becoming a Dragon King-level red dragon.
"By the way, could the human emperor be the mysterious dragon knight? He can actually ride on Hong Ye's back, this is simply unbelievable!"
Serin's eyes became more complicated, and the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
In her impression, the aloof Hong Ye was undoubtedly the one least likely to sign a dragon blood contract with the tiny human race.
"Even if the human emperor possesses enormous wealth and a foundation beyond that of the human race, he will never let Hong Ye lower his proud head just because of this. I want to see what else he is capable of."
As Serin thought so, she flew out with her tribesmen and followed directly behind Lei Xiao.
While Serin was thinking about many things, Lei Xiao, who had just stepped into the entrance of the dragon's lair, did not dare to be careless at all.
Only when we actually stepped in did we realize that this place is much deeper and more spacious than it looks. The width and height of more than ten floors make everyone standing here seem extremely small. It would be more appropriate to say that this is a giant tunnel rather than a cave, and it looks extremely empty.
On the walls of the cave on both sides, there are huge magical patterns engraved, which are as intricate as circuit boards and dazzling to the eyes.
Deep in the cave ahead, there was fog and darkness, like a bottomless abyss.
"Chris, I'll leave this to you."
Looking at the wood fairy soldiers who were building a line of defense and working together like bees, forming a battle array and building a city, Lei Xiao nodded to the wood fairy chief.
Just now, Lei Xiao had received news from the manager that dozens of red dragons patrolling nearby were changing direction and flying towards Wumeng Peak at high speed, covering the sky and the sun.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The wood elves will go all out and will never let any dragon in."
Chris nodded heavily, her fair face showing determination.
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao also responded with a determined look, and immediately continued to move deeper into the nest following the path pioneered by elite dwarves such as Cornette.
After walking a few steps, a dense crowd of figures appeared in front of them. They were the golem puppets that had just been summoned.
Looking at the figures of Lei Xiao and others disappearing into the depths of the cave, Chris took a deep breath slowly and immediately began to concentrate on giving commands.
Under her leadership, the morale of the wood fairy soldiers was high, and a temporary absolute protective barrier quickly rose up until it covered the entire entrance to the nest.
It didn't take long before the barrier walls near the entrances of the other two nests also rose up one after another, flashing with colorful magical lights.
Not only the entrance to the nest, but also the absolute defense barrier built by the wood elves is three-dimensional to prevent the golem puppets and other dragons inside the nest from attacking, covering all 15 legions.
Although this hastily constructed defensive barrier is not very strong and requires more energy from the wood elves themselves to ensure the normal operation of the barrier, the wood elves are all magicians. Even if a considerable number of them are diverted to focus on maintaining the barrier, the rest are enough to operate the anti-aircraft magic cannons and cast anti-aircraft spells.
After all, every member of the wood fairy legion has reached the third level. Theoretically speaking, the overall combat power of a third-level legion is enough to be equivalent to ten newly promoted sixth-level one-star powerhouses.
Even though 15 legions were divided into three nest entrances, each nest still had 5 legions stationed. In addition, with the help of Lei Xiao, the equipment of the wood fairy soldiers was all upgraded to a higher level, and the defense area was relatively limited.
From this, it is not difficult to see that if the wood elves only have to defend against dozens of dragons outside, they can obviously do it with ease.
However, before the patrolling dragons could come back for help, Chris received reports from the other two nest entrance positions.
"Reporting to the clan leader, a large number of golem puppets have appeared deep in the entrance of Lair No. 2. From what we can see so far, they are all level four, and there are thousands of them!"
"Master Patriarch, thousands of fourth-level golem puppets have appeared inside the entrance of Lair No. 3, and there are even traces of giant dragons in the deeper areas!"
After hearing the reports from the two commanders, Chris took a deep breath. The worst situation had happened.
Although the exact number of enemies is still unknown, such a large army of fourth-order golem puppets has undoubtedly completely wiped out the combat advantage of the wood elves, and also put their fellow elves at the other two nest entrances into a situation where they were attacked from both sides.
"Although the five legions I personally command are all reserve forces and have the weakest combat power, the other two entrances are all elite legions, and they are equipped with more powerful people and trump cards, and their combat power is obviously much higher. However, once they are caught in a state of being attacked from all sides, they will inevitably be in an extremely passive position."
"Once one of the entrances is breached, His Majesty will be in a worse situation. After all, he is leading the strong men to face the culprit directly. Moreover, they have to pass through an unknown area. We must not cause trouble for His Majesty!"
Thinking of this in her mind, Chris did not hesitate, and immediately waved her staff and said: "Build portals at the entrances of each nest, and welcome the reinforcements from the mountain according to the predetermined plan. No matter what the cost, we must defend this place today!"
After receiving Chris's order, the three portals were quickly connected, and the other end led directly to the gate of Ice Stone City.
Just as the dwarf reinforcements, who were ready to go, stepped into the portal, dozens of ferocious dragons were already falling at a high speed in the night sky outside the entrance of the nest, swooping straight towards the entrance.
At the same time, a large number of ferocious golem puppets in the nest swarmed in like a tide, attacking us from three directions.
"Your Majesty, we are about to have a direct encounter with the golem puppets!"
As Cornet's nervous voice fell, dark shadows about three meters tall emerged from the front, and a rain of arrows covered us.
"It's just a trick. Don't even think about hurting your majesty!"
Jonil was the first to be hit. The staff in his old hand swung out a fierce gust of wind, and countless arrows attacking him in the air immediately broke into pieces and fell to the ground.
Although the strong wind was quickly submerged by the mist of the dragon mirage, Lei Xiao could still see his opponent's figure clearly.
They were a group of golem puppet soldiers wearing black armor with flame patterns. Each of them was over three meters tall and fully equipped with weapons and shields, just like a legion.
"Are they all level four? But compared to the huge size of the dragons, these golem puppets are undoubtedly a bit small. Why don't they summon bigger ones?"
Louise tilted her head, a puzzled look on her face.
Although this willful vampire ancestor did not have any opportunity to show his abilities during this period, he still stayed by Lei Xiao's side.
"Because the space in the dragon's lair is limited, if we summon a large one, wouldn't it be easy to defeat them one by one?"
Serin glanced at Louise helplessly, and then said to Lei Xiao: "These are just miscellaneous soldiers, we must not let them hold us back!"
"Your Majesty, leave these to us as well."
Shuerte nodded at Lei Xiao, looking eager to get started.
When passing through several intersections just now, some tree people had already been deployed there to resist the nearby dragons, but most of them still followed Lei Xiao.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then turned into a dazzling purple light, rushing past with a group of our strong men, and immediately knocked away and destroyed the hostile golem puppets.
Just as Lei Xiao and others were rushing towards the depths of the nest, explosions and sounds of fighting rang out one after another, and the battle was completely kicked off.
