Chapter 194: Destroying the Five-City Alliance and Preparing for Promotion
"Roar!"
The deafening roar of dragons echoed over the city, and giant dragons were breathing dragon breath back and forth on the edge of the city.
The defenders in the city looked at the giant dragon in the sky with fear and trepidation, their morale was extremely low.
There are no fancy tactics, just a frontal attack on the city.
Steel siege vehicles and towers were slowly pushed towards the city wall, hiding a large number of elite soldiers.
Eight diamond golems walked in front. The thick crossbow arrows and huge rocks thrown from the city were bounced off, and all kinds of spells hitting them had no effect at all.
The tenth-order diamond golem is so strong that ordinary people cannot imagine it. Ordinary legendary spells cannot do anything to it. Only some special spells can be effective. However, it is extremely difficult to destroy a diamond golem.
Taking effect is just taking effect, it is different from destruction.
However, the diamond golem can only stand on the battlefield to cover the long-range troops when attacking a city. If it is a small indigenous city, the golem that is more than ten meters tall can easily break through the city gate and collapse the city wall with its huge power.
However, the walls of the divine domain of a formal war lord are both high and strong. They are not made of ordinary rocks, but are most likely composite walls, which are difficult to destroy even with special siege magic.
Don't count on teleporting troops in, this is God's territory and teleporting is prohibited.
Therefore, the siege can only be carried out in the conventional way, sending troops to attack from the top of the city.
This is difficult and is bound to result in heavy losses of troops.
But Li Qing didn't care.
This is the last battle. As long as we can win, no matter how great the losses are, it will be worth it.
An Erqiu led the attack on the right city of the Five Cities Alliance, while the three Xie brothers were responsible for the left and right wings and the rear army to intercept the Five Cities Alliance's possible flank.
Although unlikely.
The Five Cities Alliance is a union of five divine domains, placed in a small area in the shape of a trapezoid, less than one kilometer apart, making support very convenient.
Two cities in front and three cities in the back.
The bottom of the three cities at the back are next to a big river, which is considered a natural barrier. As long as the bridge across the river is demolished, it is basically impossible to attack the city from that side, and it can only be attacked from the front.
The siege vehicle made of fine steel slowly approached the city wall with countless stones and magic. Immediately, three magic lightning bolts struck down from the top of the city wall, and a large number of soldiers accompanying the siege vehicle were blasted into charcoal.
Li Qing raised his eyebrows when he saw it, and also took out his own magic book and opened it. He stretched out his hand and gently danced on the opened dragon leather magic book, and the complex magic circle on the book emitted white light.
He stretched out his hand and clenched it, a ball of lightning condensed in the palm of his hand, which he gently threw upwards, and it turned into a beam of lightning that shot up into the sky.
The next second, the sky above the city suddenly brightened, and a thick lightning bolt with a diameter of nearly one meter fell from the sky and hit the top of the city. In an instant, countless small lightning bolts exploded in all directions, quickly forming a lightning ring with a diameter of 150 meters. Most of the enemies in it were killed on the spot.
The other side immediately retaliated, and two more bolts of ice blasted towards the outside of the city.
But Li Qing did not fight back, but began to cast various enhancement spells for the siege troops.
Advanced attack acceleration.
Advanced body shield.
Advanced body protection stone skin.
Basic anti-magic method.
It is worth mentioning that he has not been idle in the field of war magic over the years. Most of the first-level war magic in his hands have been upgraded to advanced versions with increased power.
The second and third level war magic hasn't started upgrading yet, but it's a start. As long as his abilities improve slowly, it will eventually be upgraded to a high level.
After casting a series of war spells, the troops advanced towards the city wall despite the numerous attacks from the wall.
The siege vehicle approached the city wall as quickly as possible, and pushed down the thick baffle and smashed it onto the wall. The elite infantry hidden in the siege vehicle rushed out with shields raised, engaging in a melee with the defenders on the wall.
At this moment, Li Qing suddenly flashed to the air not far from the city, and a third-level war magic "Bewitching People" fell to the top of the siege vehicle, forcibly controlling the resisting defenders in the city.
With the cooperation of their own people, a large number of troops rushed to the top of the city wall and, together with the controlled defenders, counterattacked the defenders who were pouring in from both sides of the city wall.
"Mage Corps, prepare to bombard the siege vehicle's position!"
With an order, more than twenty fireballs flew to the top of the city. After the loud explosions one after another, a large number of controlled troops were killed.
The Dragon City troops that attacked the city were able to directly block this wave of fireball bombing because they were equipped with two defensive war spells and an anti-magic spell.
Anti-magic spell can make you immune to spells below the fifth level, and Fireball is only a third-level spell.
Fifteen minutes later, the second wave of anti-magic magic was bestowed on the troops on the second siege vehicle, and at the same time a high-level magic lightning completed a large-scale clearing of the area.
The defenders in the city were not to be outdone. Although they did not have advanced war magic, they had several heroes who possessed magic books, and their total lethality was not weak after repeated bombings.
The war became intense as soon as it started. More than 20 giant steel siege vehicles rushed to the city wall regardless of the attacks. More than 20 siege points were all caught in fierce fighting.
For the defenders, the battle has entered a white-hot state, but for Longcheng, it is just the beginning.
As Li Qing transformed into the ancient dragon, the huge dragon wings covered the sky and cast a huge shadow. Even the soldiers in the divine realm were not immune to the terrifying dragon power.
When Li Qing showed up, two legendary strongmen in the city couldn't help but show up. They were the alliance leader Li Yongfa, and Zhang Yingde, the ruler of the Divine Realm they were attacking at this time.
Both of them were legendary warriors, and they soared into the air with their powerful strength. However, faced with the terrifying aura emanating from the huge and somewhat unfair dragon in front of them, the two legendary warriors did not dare to go up for a moment.
He didn't dare, but the ancient dragon would not be polite. He opened his dragon mouth, and circles of whirlpools contracted inward, and a breath of dragon began to brew.
Now they had no way to escape and were attacked from the left and right.
When Li Yongfa on the right was about to approach Gu Long, he suddenly stopped, raised his sword and slashed downwards fiercely. A figure appeared out of nowhere in front of him and blocked the sword.
It was Zhuo Shaohang, he intercepted Li Yongfa.
The ancient dragon turned its head, and another legendary strong man, Zhang Yingde, was blocked by the sudden appearance of Dragon Guard and Dragon Magic.
Although both of them have just been promoted to the tenth level not long ago, their talents as upper-level space dragons make them far stronger than their peers.
Of course, he is not yet able to challenge legends of higher levels, but he should be able to stop Zhang Yingde for a while.
By the time Zhang Yingde smashed Dragon Guard and Dragon Magic with a sword, the ancient dragon had already finished accumulating power and sprayed a breath of spatial dragon breath towards the city below.
The dragon's breath swept across the transparent space, and both the buildings and the defenders in the city quickly turned into mosaics and collapsed on the ground.
As the dragon's head moved sideways, the dragon's breath swept across, extending into the city.
Zhang Yingde held the sword in both hands and roared, then turned into a meteor and rushed towards the huge ancient dragon. The dazzling sword light swept across, cutting large pieces of dragon scales and tearing the dragon skin under the scales. A huge wound that was twenty to thirty meters long and four to five meters deep was torn open, and hot dragon blood gushed out like lava.
A wound that is enough to easily cut an ordinary dragon in half is just a small wound on an ancient dragon that is four or five hundred meters tall.
Although his rank was not legendary, his body was too big and his vitality was too strong. If he did not dodge, the full-strength attack from the legendary warrior would only cause him a minor wound that did not hurt him.
If you just stand still and let it attack you, you might be exhausted to death, or you might die of exhaustion first.
This is the difference in size. When the difference in size reaches a qualitative change, even a legendary strong man can't do anything to him.
Li Qing didn't care about Zhang Yingde's crazy attacks on him, unless he wanted to move to the head to attack the eyes and other vital parts, the Dragon Guarding Dragon Method guarding his head would intercept him.
The dragon's breath sprayed for a full half minute, and more than half of the city in the Divine Realm was forcibly destroyed by the space dragon's breath, and countless defenders were killed.
It's not a level of power, it's a complete crushing of the total amount.
Although a legendary strong man attacked without holding back, he was completely helpless against his opponent. He could only watch as the ancient dragon's breath turned the divine domain he had worked so hard to cultivate into ruins.
There were at least 50,000 to 60,000 defenders in the city, and at least 30,000 of them died after being swept by his dragon breath.
Most of the remaining ones also collapsed. The defenders on the city walls were still forced to fight against the attacking troops coming out of the siege vehicles, but their morale had fallen to the bottom.
"I surrender!"
Zhang Yingde put away his sword and stepped back, saying loudly:
"I am willing to surrender and withdraw from the Savage Plane."
However, the answer he got was a spatial confinement.
Gu Long imprisoned Zhang Yingde for a moment with a spatial confinement, then appeared in front of him and bit him.
It took less than a second for the legendary swordsman to react. The dazzling sword light shot up into the sky and blood spurted out of the dragon's mouth, but it stopped abruptly as the dragon's mouth closed.
On the other side, Li Yongfa was so frightened that he wanted to come over to rescue, but was blocked by Zhuo Shaohang.
“Buzz!”
The dragon's mouth shook violently, and a dazzling sword light pierced through the dragon scales on the edge of the dragon's mouth, causing them to bulge.
But as Longkou chewed back and forth, the bulge became obviously weak after jumping violently a few times and soon disappeared.
Ten seconds later, the dragon's mouth opened and a shapeless pool of rotten meat was spit out.
Although he turned into a dragon, Li Qing was still a human at heart and would not eat humans.
Unless they are demigods or true gods, no matter what race they are, after becoming demigods they have already transformed into sacred beings and are no longer the original race. At that time, there will be no psychological burden in eating them.
A legend was killed in an instant. Another leader of the Five Cities Alliance, Li Yongfa, became afraid and wanted to escape, but Zhuo Shaohang, who had been calm until now, suddenly flashed his sword and suppressed Li Yongfa.
The ancient dragon turned its head and blasted down with another LV6 space confinement. Even though Li Yongfa was mentally prepared to counterattack, the power of the hero's skill was there and you couldn't be immune to it just by being prepared.
A half-second confinement can easily determine the outcome of a legendary battle.
Zhuo Shaohang, who was already stronger than him, pierced his chest with a sword without any magic.
Li Yongfa, who had just woken up, smiled miserably:
"I hate it!"
As soon as the two legendary warriors died, the remaining three city lords immediately raised the white flag and surrendered.
But Li Qing still said that he would not accept surrender.
Seeing that the ancient dragon had no reaction and was still slaughtering the city, the three city lords immediately retracted their own divine domains and fled in different directions.
But the Dragon Guard Dragon Fa, who was well prepared, chased after it and intercepted it with a series of flashes. A group of space dragons rushed up to besiege it and quickly killed it.
The five city lords of the Five Cities Alliance were killed one after another, and the war quickly came to an end.
Li Qing behind him ignored him, changed back to his true form, and teleported back to Dragon City.
In the City Lord's Mansion, a projection of Gu Qiangu appeared in front of him and said with a smile:
"Congratulations on defeating all your opponents!"
Li Qing was smiling and in a good mood.
"Now it's exactly within ten years. When will you be promoted to a formal war lord?"
"I'll be promoted once the troops are withdrawn."
Li Qing brought a chair and asked Gu Qiangu to sit down, and asked seriously:
"My second brother is more experienced than me. Is there anything I need to pay attention to when I am promoted to a formal war lord?"
Gu Qiangu smiled and said:
"That's what I came for."
"To be promoted to a formal war lord, you need to communicate with the Eternal Tree and then confirm the promotion."
"But before that, you have to be fully prepared. Develop the Divine Realm to the limit of your ability. If you still have Divine Grace or Favor Points, use them quickly. It would be best if you could buy a fragment of the Divine Kingdom to expand the Divine Realm, or other treasures to increase the foundation of the Divine Realm."
"By the way, if you have special treasures, you can integrate them into the divine realm when you are promoted, and perhaps you can get some extra benefits."
"To put it simply, if there are any good things, we should integrate them all when the time comes. The more the better."
Li Qing looked at his props and said:
"I still have 11 divine graces left."
"used."
"Are there any other treasures?"
"Uh...does dragon blood count?"
“Not really.”
"Where's the divine power?"
“It’s useless, but the divine power can quickly promote you to demigod after you are promoted to legend. After you are promoted to demigod, you can use the divine power to expand the area of the divine domain, or slowly transform the divine domain into the kingdom of God.”
"Well, how about this void array?"
Gu Qiangu looked at him with strange eyes:
"What's the use of this?"
Li Qing was sweating profusely, and took out another card and asked:
"what about this?"
"Well, this seems possible. When you are promoted to a formal war lord, you will have a chance to consume essence to change the terrain of the divine domain. At that time, you can integrate this underground transformation card into it, and you can just build a complete underground world underground."
"Also, you'd better prepare more source essence. When you are promoted to a formal war lord, source essence can strengthen the strength of the divine domain space, and it is also needed to adjust the terrain."
"Of course, this is not important to you. You have mastered the power of space, and you may get feedback in this regard when you are promoted."
"When you are promoted, if you fuse enough source essence, it will increase the elemental concentration of your divine domain. This is very important."
"Well, I only have about 500 Essence points now, which doesn't seem like much."
"It's not much indeed. It should be at least one thousand or more. The more the better. Perhaps you can exchange God's Grace for Essence. One God's Grace can be exchanged for 200 Essence. It's up to you to decide how much you want to exchange."
"Yes, I understand."
After seeing off Gu Qiangu's projection, Li Qing opened the exchange panel of the Eternal Tree and fell into deep thought.
What I am struggling with now is how much God's Grace to use to exchange for source essence, how much God's Grace to use to strengthen the God's domain, or to purchase a fragment of the Kingdom of God.
or……
He pinched his chin and thought for a long time, and then he came up with an idea.
His eyes fell on an exchange item on the panel in front of him and he made a choice without hesitation.
Soon the exchange items were obtained and Li Qing closed the panel.
