Chapter 191: The Fall of the Legendary Mage
Although Huanglong City has surrendered now, time has passed too quickly and there is no time to mobilize the legendary warriors to return.
When the dragons appeared and discovered the many space gates outside the city, the stationed tenth-level holy domain wizard had already contacted Yi Zhengyuan who was thousands of miles away through the wizard tower.
Yi Zhengyuan was no longer as high-spirited as he was at the beginning. He quickly summoned the legendary wizard and his adjutant who were accompanying the army, and asked the legendary wizard with a serious face:
"Master, please ask the Mage Corps to prepare the space gate and transfer some troops back."
The Chief Legendary Mage nodded:
"I will have the mages build a space gate in the rear, and I will go back to preside over the defense."
"Thank you for your help, Master."
“It’s my job.”
The old wizard turned around, and a portal appeared in front of him. He stepped into it and disappeared.
Yi Zhengyuan watched him leave, turned to look at the adjutant, and said in a deep voice:
"Mobilize one thousand Construct Knights, five hundred Iron Golems, and fifty thousand elite troops to stand by and prepare for the transmission."
The legendary adjutant asked:
"These main forces have been transferred, what about the Five Cities Alliance?"
Yi Zhengyuan said in a deep voice:
"Wild City is more important. I will slow down the offensive here, or even retreat first, and wait until Wild City stabilizes."
The adjutant took the order and left. Yi Zhengyuan slammed his fist on the table, his face full of annoyance:
"Longcheng Li Qing, I underestimated you."
Outside the Savage City, the vanguard troops have been gathering at the foot of the city. The lava crystal dragons are rushing towards the city walls with heavy steps. A large number of giant dragons are spewing space dragon breath back and forth at several points above the city walls, smashing the solid city walls back and forth.
With every spurt, a layer of more than ten centimeters would be shaved off from the extremely hard stones of the city wall.
Although the city wall is high, it cannot withstand such back and forth consumption.
The defenders in the city were not idle either. A large number of troops gathered behind the city walls that were being attacked. A large number of war weapons were mobilized from the city, and thick armor-piercing crossbows or dragon-slaying crossbows were shot into the air.
The dragon's size makes it difficult to dodge, but its strong vitality is enough to ensure that it will not be killed instantly even if it is targeted by fire.
The so-called dragon-slaying crossbow refers to a crossbow arrow that can easily penetrate the dragon's defense. If you want to kill a dragon with one arrow, you must either shoot through its head or heart. It is impossible to kill it with one arrow by shooting at other non-vital parts of the dragon's body.
The dragons have experienced many battles and have taken turns fighting on the front lines of the coalition forces. They have some understanding of large-scale army operations and protect their vital points very well.
Most of the armor-piercing crossbows and dragon-slaying crossbows were inside the city, so they lowered their altitude and sprayed dragon breath from a long distance.
It never stays in one place for more than one second, and its flight trajectory is also irregular, making it difficult to hit the vital point with one shot.
The numerous giant dragons swept back and forth, making it difficult for the troops inside the city to resist.
In addition, there were a large number of tall siege vehicles outside the city approaching the city walls, and dense troops followed the siege vehicles close to the city walls.
A large number of long-range troops on the city wall drew their bows and arrows and were shooting at the troops below the city.
The archers in the city, who should have had the advantage of the city walls, were at a disadvantage in the shootout. Many space dragonborn mixed in with the troops, using various spells to support, and actually suppressed the defenders on the city walls.
Although there were many mage towers and a large number of mage groups in the city, they did not provide any support to them.
It’s not that we don’t want to support, but that we can’t support, because…
"boom!"
An extremely huge dragon with a wingspan of over 450 meters is rampaging in the city, followed by several dragons over 100 meters in size. More than 100 space dragons are wreaking havoc everywhere in the city.
All the mages in the city gathered in the Mage Tower, using the power of the Mage Tower to fight against the raging dragon.
But it was completely unstoppable, the huge ancient dragon was too powerful, and it didn't need any means. It relied on its powerful dragon body to accelerate its charge, and broke an unsuspecting mage tower in half on the first try.
The wizard tower at the back was prepared to activate all defense barriers to withstand the impact, but every time a blow was blocked, a thick layer of energy in the energy pool inside the wizard tower would evaporate.
The giant dragons following behind him were also not idle. They continuously spewed dragon breath to destroy the defensive facilities in the city and jointly besieged the wizard towers.
Although this city is huge, its original design concept was only to deal with the dinosaur tribes within the plane, and it never thought about defending against so many dragons.
With more than two hundred giant dragons working together inside and outside, the command in the city had been paralyzed long ago.
There were too many dragons. Each of the dozen or so wizard towers in the city was besieged by nearly ten dragons. They could only defend themselves but had no power to fight back.
Only a few mage towers with a large number of high-level mages in charge have the ability to fight back.
A wizard tower hundreds of meters high was bombarded by more than a dozen giant dragons and barely completed charging at a speed seven or eight times slower than usual. Then a transparent light blade more than 20 meters long swept across, and a seventh-level space dragon was swept and cut in half on the spot and fell down.
The surrounding giant dragons became even more furious upon seeing this, and they rushed forward and slapped the Mage Tower madly with their claws, causing the transparent barrier of the tower to shake violently, and ripples like water waves spread out.
There were more than one such situations. As time went on, more and more mage towers were struggling to complete their charging. Force field blade waves with power close to the level of legendary spells swept across, cutting the giant space dragons in half.
By the time Li Qing finally knocked down the second mage tower, seven space dragons had been killed.
Every time one died, Li Qing could feel his heart aching.
These space dragons were all created by me, and they are all my children.
But this is war. There is no war without casualties, even for dragons.
He also had no time to feel sad, because at this moment, a strong spatial fluctuation suddenly came from the huge inter-dimensional transmission platform in the center of the city, and most of it was about to be transmitted over.
If you want to teleport from thousands of miles away in one go, only this inter-dimensional teleportation platform can meet the requirements.
Li Qing immediately gave up the mage tower that was about to break in front of him, spread his wings and flew high into the sky. He opened his huge dragon mouth and a space vortex emerged in his throat.
After a few seconds, the space dragon breath had been fully charged, but he did not spit it out, but instead waited for it to be released.
As the ancestor ancient dragon who has mastered the origin of space, his sensitivity to space is unmatched even by ordinary true gods. He can clearly sense the timing of teleportation.
He accumulated energy early, and when the transmission reached the critical point, he immediately activated the space force field, and then sprayed out a breath of space dragon breath with full power.
At the moment when the transparent conical space dragon breath crossed two kilometers and hit the inter-dimensional teleportation point, a strong teleportation light exploded, and a group of troops totaling thousands appeared on the teleportation platform, and then the terrifying dragon breath swept down like a collapsed Tianhe waterfall.
The legendary wizard who presided over the teleportation reacted extremely quickly and triggered a series of defensive spells on his body, and colorful lights immediately appeared on his body.
However, the space here was confined, and many defense and counterattack spells were all effective, but the teleportation spell for escape was ineffective, and he had to bear the breath of space dragon from the ancient ancestor dragon.
Then, thousands of elite soldiers, including several hundred elite mages, were all transformed into countless tiny mosaics and rolled all over the ground under this wave of space dragon breath.
In just two seconds, a roar was heard from the dragon's breath, and a figure wrapped in fighting spirit like a flaming eruption broke through the dragon's breath and escaped. It was the legendary adjutant of Yi Zhengyuan, the lord of Savage City.
He can break out by relying on his powerful fighting spirit, but the legendary wizard cannot.
The mage's means of escape is to use various teleportation spells. When space spells are banned, how can all the defensive spells withstand the dragon breath of the ancient dragon?
You can't even cast spells while in dragon's breath. Low-level instant spells can be cast, but high-level spells that require long chanting cannot be used.
After only two seconds, the defensive spells triggered by the trigger spell were shattered one after another, and then the robe lit up and went out again, and a series of accessories and magic rings on the body were shattered one after another.
In the fifth second, a scream came from the dragon's breath, and a powerful breath quickly disappeared.
But the ancient dragon did not stop spitting, and continued to sweep back and forth in the same place.
The escaped adjutant looked up and glanced at the situation in the city. After hesitating for less than two seconds, he turned around and ran away.
He did not flee to the Mage's Tower in the city, nor to the City Lord's Mansion in the center of the city, but crossed the city, as if trying to escape from the city from the other side.
As a legendary warrior, just by taking a quick look at the power comparison between the two sides, he could estimate that he would definitely lose this battle, and if he ran a little slower, he might not be able to escape.
No one expected that a team of two legendary masters, hundreds of elite mages, and hundreds of construct knights would be wiped out in just five seconds after being teleported. A legendary wizard fell so easily, it was like a joke.
But it is what it is, it is true.
Perhaps with the means of a legendary wizard, it is possible to have a backup plan for resurrection. As a legendary wizard, there are many ways to resurrect again, but that is all a matter for the future. At least he is gone now.
On the other side, Yi Zhengyuan didn't know that the elite troops he sent were gone, and he was still gathering follow-up troops waiting for transmission.
After confirming that the legendary wizard was dead, Li Qing did not chase after the escaped legendary warrior, but rushed towards the nearest wizard tower.
A huge force field wave blade swept across his face, sending out a row of dazzling sparks on his body and cutting large pieces of dragon scales in half, but it was blocked less than a meter into his body and not even a dragon's blood flowed out.
"It looks like this Savage City is about to change hands!"
In the trading area of Savage City, many adventurers stood on the roofs of various buildings to watch the battle. This battle did not affect them.
At this time, everyone was looking at the fierce battle inside and outside the city in amazement. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Savage City could not withstand Dragon City's sneak attack tactics, and the change of ownership would happen in an instant.
"I didn't expect Dragon City to be so strong."
"They have been hiding their strength a lot. The previous information was that they only had about a hundred dragons, but I didn't expect there were more than two hundred. The gap is too big."
"Wild City is doomed this time. The main city and the logistics base have been stolen. Such a large army can't hold out for long without food and horses."
"That's not the case. The city lord and several cities have their own divine domains, so they can afford to support them. However, the loss of the main city means that his legitimacy is also gone. And looking at the strength of Dragon City, Yi Zhengyuan and his men may not be able to recapture it."
"Doesn't this mean that things are going to change in the Savage Plane?"
"Yes, unless there are special circumstances, the situation will change."
"That's for us..."
"This has nothing to do with us. We don't get involved in these matters. It doesn't matter who makes the decision."
“That’s true.”
"But to be honest, if Dragon City is in charge, it will be better for us than Yi Zhengyuan. He has so many dragons, whether it's reconnaissance, patrolling, or clearing monster will be faster and more efficient, and the development of the plane will be faster, which is a good thing for us."
“Well… that’s right!”
"boom!"
As they were discussing, another wizard tower was forcibly broken through the defensive barrier by the huge ancient dragon and then smashed down.
Five minutes later, the ancient dragon circled in front of the teleportation platform again, and swept over with another breath of space dragon breath, destroying the second batch of support troops.
"What did you say?"
Yi Zhengyuan stood up as if by a spring, and grabbed the subordinate who reported the news with one hand, his face full of disbelief:
"Chief Yu was killed in action?"
The subordinate replied in a low voice:
"Yes, the news was passed on by the adjutant through the main city of East District 1, and the previous two waves of support have been completely wiped out, and the chief wizard has died in battle!"
"This is impossible!"
Yi Zhengyuan pushed the messenger and sat down with a sullen look on his face:
"This is impossible. Master Yu is a legendary wizard with many life-saving methods. How could he die?"
However, although he said it was impossible, Yi Zhengyuan knew in his heart that it was true.
"Li Qing from Longcheng."
He gritted his teeth and pronounced the name.
The captain breathed in and out three times, suppressing his anger and whispering:
"Send the order, prepare to withdraw!"
The men obeyed the order and left immediately.
The door opened, and a middle-aged man in fine leather armor walked in quickly and asked anxiously:
"City Lord, is the news true?"
Yi Zhengen nodded:
"it is true!"
"Then...what should we do?"
"Withdraw the troops first."
The middle-aged man wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and nothing came out. Thinking rationally, he realized that there was nothing he could do at this moment and he could only withdraw his troops first.
However, attacking a city is easy, but withdrawing troops is not so easy.
They can receive the news, and the Five Cities Alliance that has been fighting with them can also receive the news.
After confirming that the news was true, the Five Cities Alliance, although shocked by the strength of Dragon City, decided to delay Savage City without any hesitation.
They didn't think about how to deal with Li Qing in the future. They only knew that the Savage City was still stronger than them at this time, and they had to weaken them.
Not to mention anything else, even if we want to cooperate with Savage , we must first weaken Savage City.
At least the strength of both sides should be equal, or the Savage City should be weakened to a level lower than ours, so that when they join forces to deal with Dragon City in the future, we will have the advantage.
As for whether we can defeat Longcheng, that is a matter for the future.
So when the army of Savage City slowed down its offensive and began to retreat slowly, the gates of several other cities in the Five Cities Alliance opened and a large number of troops began to gather.
Naturally, this was easily known to the people in Savage City, and Yi Zhengyuan was so angry that he cursed the Five Cities Alliance for being short-sighted, but he had no choice but to reorganize his troops and prepare for the battle.
