Chapter 203: Unknown Enemies and the Attacking Illithid War Lord
The troops from the Dragon Kingdom were mobilized very quickly. In less than ten days, the first batch of 200,000 elite troops were teleported through the space gate and assembled in Dragon City.
Although the situation in the Dragon Kingdom is not good, over the years Long Luo has also learned about the horror of the lich king war lord and his own position under the command of the Father God.
The good or bad situation in the Dragon Kingdom will not affect the overall situation of the plane, but if the situation in Dragon City and Savage City deteriorates, it will directly affect the Dragon Kingdom.
So even though Long Luo knew that if he transferred these one million elite troops, the situation in the Dragon Kingdom might collapse, he still began to withdraw troops without hesitation, shrinking the defense line and giving up a large amount of territory.
He knew very well that this situation was only temporary, and all problems would be solved once the Father woke up.
On the Longcheng side, almost eight months had passed from the time the dinosaur army discovered the mind-sucking monsters to the time they arrived at the gates of the city.
The enemy is too large. In recent days, a large number of space dragons have gone to scout and saw that the enemy army stretches for hundreds of kilometers. There are nearly 500,000 troops in the vanguard alone, at least 2 million in the central army, and another 2 to 3 million in logistics troops in the back.
And this does not include the mental fortresses of the five lizard war lords that we have seen so far. No one knows how many troops are hidden inside.
In order to delay time as much as possible, a large number of space dragons were sent out to bypass the enemy's main force and attack the logistics troops in the rear.
Dozens of giant dragons flew over the heads of the logistics troops, and gusts of dragon breath swept through the crowd for several kilometers. Then the heads of the giant dragons rushed away without looking back. The psychic sucking monster war lord who reacted immediately dispatched psychic sucking monster warriors.
But when they arrived, they only saw Mosaic meat all over the ground and chaotic logistics troops, and there was no trace of the dragon.
This is the advantage of air forces: mobility, flexibility and speed.
However, this behavior can only last a few times, because there are several legendary strongmen on the side of the mind-sucking monster who have the ability to kill the space dragon alone.
An Erqiu didn't care and just wanted to delay the time a little.
A huge army of dinosaur-like creatures deployed under the city, surrounding the huge dragon city tightly, and pushed up a large number of wooden siege vehicles, siege ladders, catapults, etc.
There was also a huge army of dinosaurs gathered in the city, and they were also armed to the teeth.
Relatively speaking, the equipment and weapons of the dinosaur people in Longcheng are better.
There are more than 2.5 million dinosaurs among the mind-sucking monsters. It is impossible for every one of them to have a set of armor and sophisticated weapons. In fact, except for some elite ones who do wear plate armor and sophisticated weapons, most of the dinosaurs wear leather armor and iron swords.
This is much stronger than the dinosaur natives who are still using stone, bone and wooden spears, but not as good as the Dragon Kingdom where almost all members are wearing plate armor or super-strong synthetic leather armor.
Li Qing used the space in his palm to synthesize in large quantities, which required almost no cost and only required a little time.
A week later, the well-prepared army of mind-sucking dinosaurs launched an attack on Dragon City amid the sound of desolate horns.
It is worth mentioning that although the full siege was completed, the total size of the besieging troops at this time was less than one million. The main force of the dinosaur army of the mind-sucking monster was still far away and had not come over, nor could it come over. There were too many people and they did not need to all go.
The same is true for the defenders in the city. At this time, the total force in the city is only about 400,000. The remaining troops are in other places, but they can be teleported in at any time through the teleportation array.
Dense groups of dinosaur men shouted and followed the siege vehicles toward the top of the city, and a large number of pterosaurs swooped down from the air.
The city immediately counterattacked, and a large number of large counterweight catapults fixed behind the city walls threw bags of rubble into the battlefield.
A large number of dinosaur spearmen just threw their spears towards the outside of the city with their eyes closed, without any need to aim at all.
Similarly, elite armed pterosaur troops rose up from the city, mixed with a large number of space dragons, and fought with the pterosaurs attacking the city in the air above the city walls.
Both sides chose to use their cannon fodder to fight each other, and did not send out their elite troops.
Legendary strongmen can change the situation of war, but on a battlefield of this scale, legendary strongmen cannot act recklessly.
The reason why decapitation tactics are legendary is that they are rare and too difficult to use.
Regardless of whether it is the legend of human beings or the legend of the mind-thirsty civilization, their size is obvious. Without the vitality of the dragon clan, they will not be able to hold on for long once faced with siege.
Don't count on using the Mind Fortress. This thing is really awesome and can also be used to attack cities. The long-range pure energy cannon is extremely powerful.
But the Mind Fortress is the sacred domain of the Mind-Thirsting War Lords and the foundation of their survival. Unless they are dealing with small cities that pose no threat, they can use this to crush them.
In a situation like the one before us, where there are hundreds of giant dragons, more than ten very powerful level 10 warriors, and a super fortress city manned by legendary warriors, wouldn't it be courting death to let the Mind Fortress go there?
Therefore, at present, these mental fortresses are only used for guarding, and the soul-sucking monster masters inside are legendary strongmen used to warn the human side. They will not move until the victory or defeat is clearly determined.
Although only Zhuo Shaohang showed up from the human side, the spirit-sucking monster overlord did not dare to be careless at all, because they knew the existence of the ancient ancestor dragon.
They didn't know that Li Qing had fallen into a deep sleep, and they absolutely didn't dare to take any risks without seeing him.
In this case, it is a pure war of attrition.
The two sides have a total of more than 3.5 million dinosaur troops fighting each other to see who can hold on first.
A war of attrition like this would often last for years unless something unexpected happened. We often heard battle reports that some fortified cities could hold out under enemy siege for more than ten years.
The war lord of the mind-thirsting monsters was not in a hurry to urge his subordinates, and he didn't even think about dividing his troops to attack the hinterland from behind.
At present, this plane has been imprisoned after the last incident. Both parties have an agreement that neither human nor mind-thieving civilization is allowed to send new war lords, including additional troops, in within a hundred years.
In the eyes of Garona, the son of destiny who presides over the savage plane and the mind-thirster, there is only one threat to this plane. As long as they are defeated, there will be no resistance later.
This is how it was when we defeated them at Savage City, and the result will be the same if we defeat them at Dragon City, there is no need to do anything unnecessary.
Therefore, the battle situation was at a stalemate, and both sides only sent conventional troops to fight each other.
On the other side, in the Dragon Kingdom, as Long Luo transferred two-thirds of his regular troops to Dragon City, the remaining troops were no longer sufficient to suppress such a vast territory.
The occupied territory is too large, covering tens of millions of square kilometers, and transportation is inconvenient, so the rule becomes weaker the further outward.
In addition, Li Qingduo did not show up, so the newly occupied dinosaur people had very little centripetal force towards this new totem.
When Long Luo decided to abandon the outer areas, the abandoned areas immediately declared independence.
Long Luo was also decisive. He directly gave up two-thirds of the outer territory and withdrew all his main forces to a mountain range across the south. After that, the Dragon Kingdom's rule on this side became relatively secure.
However, the problem of governance is not actually that big. The main problem is the coalition formed by several large city-states in the west.
They did not stop just because the Dragon Kingdom gave up the other side of the territory. Instead, they united as one under the strong hand of a very powerful Tyrannosaurus Rex, formed a coalition and continued to move eastward, intending to completely destroy .
This Tyrannosaurus came from a very large dinosaur-man united city-state, which was headed by a large city-state and united several small city-states, with a population of over six million.
This Tyrannosaurus man is extremely intelligent and far superior to his peers. Not only is he able to unite so many small city-states and tribes, he also has a strong political vision and can see the threat posed by the Dragon Kingdom to himself.
After seeing the Dragon Kingdom giving up such a large territory, normal natives would definitely rush to grab the land and population.
But he didn't. He persuaded the leaders of other city-states in the alliance to gather their troops and continue marching eastward, preparing to destroy the Dragon City in one fell swoop.
Nearly three million dinosaurs divided into three groups to attack the Dragon Kingdom, crushing them along the way. Those independent rebels were unable to resist and were defeated one after another.
The main force advanced continuously, killing all the way to the Dragon Kingdom in one breath, and stopped in front of a plain.
Long Luo assembled nearly 500,000 dinosaur troops on this plain to face the alliance's nearly 1.5 million main forces head-on. The two sides engaged in a brutal fight on this huge plain.
Although the number of people was only one-third of that of the enemy, the Dragon Kingdom had the upper hand thanks to its sophisticated weapons and armor.
In addition, he had more than fifty space dragons and nearly two thousand space dragon descendants on his side, who were stronger in frontal combat. In just half an hour, the coalition front was in chaos due to heavy casualties.
But with the leader of the alliance, the Tyrannosaurus, personally taking the lead in commanding the battlefield, these dinosaur natives actually began to demonstrate their tactics in an orderly manner.
They deployed their troops and advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and used various tactics that were unlikely to be used by the natives, and actually withstood the offensive of the Dragon Kingdom.
This scene surprised Long Luo extremely. Xie Heng, who was following the army, frowned. This scene gave him a bad feeling.
"Could there be a war lord behind this Tyrannosaurus?"
Many primitive races suddenly stood out and made sudden progress in the process of evolution because a being with intelligence far exceeding that of ordinary people suddenly appeared in the race.
It is not surprising that this powerful Tyrannosaurus Rex may be a mutation of this race.
But tactics cannot be explained by racial mutation. Without a complete inheritance of wisdom, it is impossible to accumulate and summarize such things in a short period of time.
This means that there is a high probability that this extremely powerful Tyrannosaurus leader has someone supporting him, just like Li Qing interfered with Long Luo's fate.
"Who is the one?"
The competitors they defeated were definitely eliminated and there was no way they could have any backup.
"Could it be them?"
Xie Heng suddenly remembered that in addition to the few major forces like them, there were also some small and medium-sized forces fighting for the wild plane.
However, as Li Qing defeated all his competitors, some of those small and medium-sized forces withdrew, and some simply disappeared without a trace.
"Could it be that some small force was unwilling to give up and left Savage City to go into the depths of the plane to take other paths?"
This is very likely.
"If this is the case……"
Xie Heng frowned.
He had no choice at this moment. It just happened that something happened here, and Longcheng was facing a full-scale attack by the psychic war lord. Comparing the two, he could only take care of his headquarters first.
"My head hurts!"
Fortunately, although the coalition forces have been constantly replacing troops with heavy losses through tactical adjustments to ensure that the front line does not collapse, the difference in individual combat power is too great, and they are still at a disadvantage, but not as great as before.
If there are no accidents, we will win if we persist to the end.
Although it is likely to be a pyrrhic victory, it is good to win at all.
However, when the battle entered the second day and a coalition force consisting of nearly a hundred tribal totems appeared on the battlefield, not only Xie Heng but even Long Luo were dumbfounded.
"This is fucking..."
Hundreds of warriors, at least at level nine, some at level ten, four legendary beasts, and an unclear demigod totem appeared on the battlefield. The pressure they brought directly crushed the will of the Dragon Kingdom soldiers.
After all, they are not soldiers from the divine realm, and their morale is limited.
With so many huge monsters appearing on the battlefield, even the impression of invincibility that their own totems had previously established in their minds was now collapsing.
They couldn't tell the difference in totem strength, they only knew that there were too many totems at the moment and the totem of the Dragon Kingdom would definitely not be able to defeat them.
Long Luo immediately looked at Xie Heng and asked:
"Sir Heng, can the dragons resist?"
Xie Heng shook his head and said:
"We can't stop it. Get ready and withdraw!"
If it weren't for the four legendary beasts and the demigod totem, they would be able to win with the strength of the space dragon.
After so many battles, their strength has increased, and many of them have reached level nine or ten.
But the legendary beast is too strong, its power is not on the same level.
Especially since one of the four legendary beasts on the opposite side is a Quetzalcoatl with a wingspan of nearly 500 meters, almost catching up with the ancient dragon before it was promoted to legendary. If a fight really breaks out, I don’t know how many space dragons will die.
He looked at Long Luo and said in a deep voice:
"Withdraw the troops first, disrupt them halfway, and delay the time until the adults wake up."
He looked back and said:
"You should be able to feel that the master is about to wake up."
Long Luo also looked back in a certain direction and nodded seriously:
"I know what to do."
As Li Qing's direct descendants, they can certainly feel something. Recently, Xie Heng could feel his blood boiling. The mysterious feeling told him that the source of his blood was undergoing a drastic change.
What can be called a drastic change at this time is that the sleeping Li Qing has already begun the final bloodline transformation.
But at this time they didn't know how long this transformation would take, so they could only delay the time as much as possible and launch a counterattack immediately after Li Qing's transformation was successful.
From some mysterious feeling, they all knew that the improvement of this transformation would be very, very great.
In other words, this transformation will be unprecedentedly large.
The Ancient Dragon route is different from the Conferred God route. The biggest level of the Conferred God route is Conferred God, which is the boundary between gods and humans.
The promotion of the Ancient Dragon route to Legend is equivalent to the moment when the Ancestral Ancient Dragon route raises the throne to become a God. The next step is to another world.
Therefore, the current crisis is only temporary. As long as Li Qing successfully transforms and wakes up, all problems will be solved.
Long Luo made a decision quickly, leaving nearly 100,000 troops behind to cover the rear, while the other troops began to evacuate.
Their method of was impossible to intercept. The two thousand space dragonborns accompanying the army opened the space gates one by one and teleported the troops away quickly, giving the opponent no chance to intercept them.
