Chapter 475: Blocking War
"boom!!"
The dragon spreads its wings and flies high.
The [Dragon Eagle] Legion, led by Qi Ge and Moril, flew towards the west of Bracada without concealing their presence.
The huge dragons were arranged in neat rows, rushing across the sky and disturbing the clouds.
Whenever passing by mines and factories, Qi Ge would lead the Dragon Eagle Legion to swoop down from the sky.
Even if Moril did not show up, the seven pigeons alone could support the powerful offensive of the Dragon Eagle Legion.
Compared with those incompetent heroes guarding the mine, Qi Ge's command experience is too rich.
In front of the Seven Pigeons, their tactical intentions could not be hidden at all and would be easily seen through by the Seven Pigeons.
Coupled with the strength of the [Dragon Eagle] Legion, those enemy heroes who dared to resist all succeeded.
The Seven Pigeons led the Dragon Eagle Legion and flew eastward from the heart of Bracada. They did not let go of any factories and mines along the way and took them all down.
But as the Dragon Eagle Legion advanced deeper, the situation began to change.
“Your Highness Xingfeng! The factory we just attacked is empty.
The equipment and personnel were all evacuated, and not a single goblin was to be found.”
"Report. Your Highness Xingfeng, the three mines are all empty. There is nothing inside."
Listening to the harpies' reports, Qi Ge frowned.
“Fortify the walls and clear the fields.
The Bracada command has anticipated our guerrilla tactics and has begun to take countermeasures at all costs."
As an agricultural civilization, ancient China used fortification and clearing the countryside as one of its common strategies in dealing with attacks by nomadic peoples.
To put it simply, all the food outside the city wall was confiscated, and then the strong and solid city wall was used to stop the enemy's attack, forcing the nomadic troops to retreat due to logistical pressure.
The most typical example is the Great Wall, which was built during the Qin Dynasty.
Bracada emptied all the resources and goblins from the mine and retreated, so the attack of the Seven Pigeons was ineffective.
In this way, although the Thunder Lords cannot catch up with the Seven Pigeons for the time being, the Seven Pigeons' troops cannot cause any substantial damage to Bracada.
Once the Seven Pigeons retreat, the mines and factories will be able to resume operations quickly.
"Little military advisor, you seem to be in trouble."
Muriel looked at Qi Ge with a half-smile and asked:
"What strategy are you going to use to solve this problem?"
Qi Ge shook his head seriously and said, "It won't be solved. Bracada can reduce the losses, but it doesn't mean they have no losses.
Our strategic goal is to suppress Bracada's logistical production and disrupt the morale of the lords on the front line.
The destruction of a mine has the same effect on us as the suspension of its operation.
It is a pity that we cannot continue to destroy Bracada’s war potential.
But that was just a side job, something that happened along the way.
As long as the main goal is achieved, we will not lose money.
It would be better if they defended their territory and cleared the fields. We would not have to waste time attacking the mines and could focus on dealing with the Thunder Lord Legion."
After a brief adjustment, the [Dragon Eagle] Legion set off again, heading towards [Lava City].
Under the giant dragon, mountains, rivers and cities kept retreating.
The cold wind was blowing, the clouds were rolling and the snow was flying.
Qi Ge sat on the [Dark Infinite Dragon] and introduced his tactical intentions to Moril.
“From now on, the weather will gradually become hotter.
Soon, the snow terrain will disappear and gradually turn into grass terrain.
After that, there is the lava terrain.
Continue westward along the lava terrain and you will arrive at the Lava City, the westernmost part of Bracada.
That's our ultimate goal.
But we can't fly straight to [Lava City].
Once our tactical intentions are exposed, Bracada only needs to set up interception troops along the way, or simply set up an encirclement in [Lava City], and we will become very passive.
If it is empty, make it full; if it is full, make it empty.
We have to keep changing our routes and pretend that we are going to continue wreaking havoc in the heart of Bracada.
Best of all, we could actually cause some damage.
In a nutshell, make trouble, and do whatever it takes to make trouble.
The attention of the entire Bracada was focused on the hinterland, and the troops that wanted to intercept us began to concentrate towards the hinterland.
Then we pretended to be on the run, so that the lords of Bracada would see the hope of eating us.
When all the major cities in the heart of Bracada begin to send out troops to encircle and intercept us, we will give them a big surprise.
We suddenly accelerated, broke out of the encirclement, and headed straight to [Lava City], cutting off !
By then, the expressions of those lords will be extremely interesting."
"I don't know if their expressions are interesting or not, but your expression will be interesting, little military advisor."
Muriel laughed and waved her hand, and the magic book automatically flipped.
Strategic Magic: [Perspective of the Atmosphere]
A screen unfolded in front of Qi Ge and Moriel, indicating that in front of the blue dot of the [Dragon Eagle Legion], a large area of densely packed red dots was blocking the [Dragon Eagle Legion]'s path.
"It seems that our movements have been noticed.
There are at least three legends waiting for us in the army ahead.
Well, a pure air force composed entirely of Djinns and Gargoyles, with a total number of over nine thousand.
The main force is not here right now. To gather this number, I am afraid that the air forces of several nearby cities will have to be completely withdrawn."
Moril looked at Qi Ge with a smile and asked:
"Little military advisor, how is it?
Should we take a detour or return the same way?
Or should I take action?"
Qi Ge's face was as gloomy as water, and he said softly:
"Your Majesty, please wait patiently, but this is all within my expectations."
Qi Ge rode on Zi Yuan and gave the command in a chic manner:
"The Harpies are back, the Black Dragon Legion, take off!"
"roar!!"
Relying on Moril's reconnaissance advantage, the Black Dragon Legion quickly took off before approaching the enemy.
The dragon race has unique physical advantages in the Yasha world.
Gravity also exists in the Yasa world, and it is not easy to overcome gravity.
Every cell in the dragon's body can accommodate a large amount of air elements.
The huge air element can make the dragon's body extremely light, and it can even float in the air without flapping its wings.
This allows the dragon to easily fly at altitudes exceeding 12,000 meters.
The red dragon can fly to a maximum altitude of over 18,000 meters, and the black dragon can fly to an altitude of up to 20,000 meters.
The natural advantages of this race are simply unmatched by other races.
The maximum height a primary gargoyle can fly is about 2,000 meters, and the maximum height a high-level gargoyle can only fly is 4,000 to 6,000 meters.
Without reaching level 5, an altitude of 10,000 meters is simply out of the reach of the gargoyle.
Although the Djinn is an elemental creature, it contains all four elements, the main ones being water and earth.
Because of this, the Lamp Spirit can rely on the element of air to accelerate, but cannot rely on the element of air to continue to rise.
The flying altitude of the Lamp God is generally between 6,000 and 9,200 meters. The 4th-tier miracle soldier [Bright Lamp God] flies the highest among all 4th-tier Lamp Gods, but it can only reach between 13,600 and 16,000 meters.
Of course, a gargoyle can't fly that high, and neither can a harpy.
This also involves the [Energy Balance Code of the Yasha World].
That is to say, the Yasha energy in the Yasha world always slowly transfers from more places to fewer places.
At the same time, the lower the level and rank of a troop, the weaker its ability to lock onto the Yasa energy in its body.
Although the creatures in the Yasa world do not rely on oxygen to survive, most of them need to absorb Yasa energy from the outside world to maintain their existence.
But at high altitudes, the Yasa energy is very thin.
Unlike dragons, harpies do not have structures on their bodies that store a large amount of Yasha energy.
It is because of the [Energy Balance Code of the Yasha World].
At high altitudes, the Harpy who does not have the ability to lock onto Yasa's energy will continue to lose Yasa's energy in his body.
When the altitude reaches 13,000 meters, the Harpy can only survive for ten minutes.
With each additional increase in altitude, the Harpy's survival time will be shortened.
In order to avoid pursuit by the enemy's flying troops, the [Dragon Eagle Legion] must rise to at least 15,000 meters. This altitude is simply murder for the harpies.
But how could Qi Ge not have thought about this issue?
"All troops, listen up. Harpy, get the [Resource Bottle]!"
“Snap! Snap! Snap!”
The harpies immediately reached out and took off a small glass bottle tied to the inside of their thighs.
On the side of the glass bottle, several large characters were clearly engraved:
[Made in Philomena Workshop.]
Produced by Philomena, quality guaranteed. 】
【Resource Bottle
Level 1 Alchemy Treasure
Equipment location: Miscellaneous
Can be used to load resources, up to 16 units of standard resources. 】
[Resource Bottle] is an alchemical treasure that is useless to heroes. Its only function is to store resources.
But heroes all have a space backpack given by the Mother Goddess, which can store unlimited resources.
Therefore, [Resource Bottle] will only be used by some soldiers who go into the wild to collect resources.
Sister Lamp Goddess didn't ask Qi Ge what he was going to do, but generously gave Qi Ge a bunch of things.
"All Harpies, open the resource bottles! Release the Warming Stones!"
At Qi Ge's command, the harpies immediately opened the mouth of the [Resource Bottle] and placed the warm stone at the mouth of the [Resource Bottle].
Under the heating of the warm stone, the temperature inside the [Resource Bottle] immediately began to rise.
The wood, ore, gems, crystals, sulfur, and mercury stored in the [Resource Bottle] begin to melt quickly.
These standardized resources contain the most active and easily absorbed Yasha energy in the Yasha world.
These Yasha energies can be easily absorbed by the soldiers as long as they find a way to break the outer shell that stores these energies.
Of course, this is extremely costly.
A [Resource Bottle] needs to contain 4 wood and 4 stone, 2 of each level 2 resource.
And once all the resources in a [Resource Bottle] are used up, you can only rely on the Harpy to survive for twenty minutes.
Relying on this almost luxurious method, the harpies gained precious time in the air.
The dragon rose higher and higher, and soon reached an altitude of 15,000 meters!
The [Dragon Eagle Legion] just like this, flying over the top of the Bracada blocking army, upright and openly passing through their sky.
Sitting on the back of the Dark Infinite Dragon, Qi Ge's eyes were grim.
"Want to stop me? You are overestimating yourself.
If you want to stop me, let your precious miracle soldiers fly up alone.
An army of nine thousand? It's just for show.
Under the premise of total war, how many miracle troops can you, Bracada, bring out?
I'd like to take a closer look!"
Just when Qi Ge was feeling high-spirited, a blinding white light suddenly appeared on the bodies of the intercepting soldiers below.
Then a pair of huge wings of light covered the gargoyles and djinn!
Legendary magic: the art of flying!
【Flying Magic
Legend, Qi, Strategy
Effect: Enables troops that cannot fly to gain the ability to fly, greatly increases the flying altitude of troops, and greatly prolongs the air control time of troops.
"Fuck! A legend who specializes in air magic?!"
At this moment, Qi Ge felt that he was a clown.
After putting on a fancy show for a long time, he was subdued by the opponent in one move.
Damn you Li, why didn’t you tell me earlier that you have the magic to fly!
With the blessing of flying magic, the flying height of the soldiers depends only on the ability of the hero.
If you are a high-powered wizard with legendary air magic, flying to more than 20,000 meters is a piece of cake.
Looking at Qi Ge's furrowed brows and drooping mouth, Muriel, who rarely saw Qi Ge being humiliated, laughed unscrupulously:
"Hey. Little military advisor.
You seem to be having a little trouble?
Oh.
In fact, from Dark Dragon City to now, you have done very well.
It's much better than I imagined.
I am amazed by your intelligence and tactical sense, but your strength is ultimately your weakness.
This is not a problem that an ordinary hero like you should have to deal with.
Relax, I'm here. Leave the rest to me."
As Moril spoke, she slowly floated up on the back of the Dark Infinite Dragon.
Her dragon wings spread, her red hair fluttered, and she was about to attack.
Qi Ge: ???
How could I have deceived myself while acting?
Qi Ge quickly said:
"Your Majesty! Be patient."
Qi Ge said quickly:
“It’s not time for you to take action yet.
The arrogance of the Bracada wizards stems from their mastery of magic.
Indeed, with the help of the Goddess of Magic, the magic in the world of Asha is definitely the most complete and perfect system.
Magic is useful, but it is never omnipotent.
Arrogance always comes at a price.
Now is the time for them to pay the price for their arrogance."
Seeing the Bracada army flying higher and higher, Qi Ge's mouth corners slowly raised.
…
…
“Closer!”
The legendary wizard Drupo stared at the sky intently with a fanatical expression.
As a pseudo-legend floating in the core layer of Bracada, he was waiting for such an opportunity to prove himself.
His master specialty is to increase the duration of air magic (pseudo-legends do not have legendary specialties).
This neither-good-nor-bad skill does not even rank high in Bracada, a city full of talented people.
Drupo has been thinking hard about how to increase his voice and influence.
The years of hard work paid off, and Drupo actually figured out a solution.
He can use attack acceleration and flying magic to help the armed airship maneuver quickly!
Drupo, who has limited talent, knows that the early bird catches the worm.
Drupo devoted all his energy to studying the magic of flying.
With his limited talent, it was too difficult for him to learn legendary magic.
But Drupo had no intention of giving up.
If one year doesn’t work, then ten years. If ten years doesn’t work, then twenty years.
Hard work pays off, and Drupo finally succeeded in learning the magic of flying!
It's just a pity that fate played a trick on him. After Drupo learned the art of flying, he realized that the art of flying had no effect on war machines such as armed airships.
Feeling disheartened, Drupo returned to Skyrim, a province rich in armed airships, and planned to be a city lord peacefully without worrying about anything else.
However, a godsend opportunity came.
The emergence of the Black Dragon Legion gave Drupo hope of a comeback.
“The great [Thunder Lord] army is on the way, and the demigod [Dragon Slayer] will arrive soon.
If I just delay a little bit, I can achieve great success!
The two legendary wizards beside me, one specializes in djinn and the other specializes in gargoyle.
But their contribution in this battle is definitely not as great as mine.
If I can be noticed by His Majesty the Dragon Slayer, maybe I can even hope to become a member of the Grand Council and bring honor to my family!
Councillor Drupo, that sounds easy to hear! "
Looking at the Black Dragon Legion getting closer and closer, Drupo's blood boiled!
“Although black dragons are immune to all magic, red dragons are only immune to level 1 to 4 magic.
In addition to the magic of flying, I also have a legendary scroll of [Thunder Blast]!
Let me use the blood of the red dragon to kick off my rise.
Hmm, something seems to have fallen from the sky?"
When the magic-forbidden field of the [Magic Blocker] was unfolded, Drupo was still holding the [Thunder Blast] scroll, looking at a loss.
The altitude at this time was more than 14,000 meters.
The flying magic effect on the djinn and gargoyle suddenly disappeared, and the restraint from gravity immediately pulled them down.'
Of course, so is Drupo.
His true form is a wizard, and without the help of magic, he has no ability to fly at all.
The thin air at high altitudes provides almost no air resistance.
Therefore, the descent speed of the [Magic Blocker] is almost the same as their descent speed!
“Bang, bang, bang.”
At an altitude of 14,000 meters, a level 2, stage 2 advanced gargoyle couldn't even last a dozen seconds.
It was not until the gargoyles exploded one after another that Drupo realized what was happening in his trance.
He looked around in disbelief, feeling the obscurity of his own magic power, and was horrified:
" Ban! Ban! Ban! Ban the magic ball!
Tanan!
Tanan who leads the Black Dragon Army? !
Tanan joined Negan? ! "
The intense discomfort caused by the rapid descent almost woke Drupo up.
"Then why am I still fighting? Run!"
He immediately turned his head and looked around, looking for a way to escape.
But as a wizard, he seemed so helpless when his magic power was sealed.
Even the escape scroll in his backpack requires magic to operate.
He quickly looked at his two legendary colleagues.
Unfortunately, what he saw were four eyes that were as panicked as his.
"Ah!! My body is going to explode."
All the low-level gargoyles died, and soon it was the turn of the genie.
The elemental bodies of these elemental creatures could no longer hold on and began to disintegrate.
Cracks also began to appear on their elemental core, the magic lamp.
In half a minute at most, all the low-level magic lamps will die.
Only then did Drupo realize a problem.
The gargoyle didn't care, but if he destroyed the entire Lamp God Corps, even if he survived, he would probably not escape punishment in the end.
…
…
The Black Dragon Legion began to slowly descend in altitude to ensure that Bracada's army would not leave the battle space because of the distance from the Seven Pigeons.
Under the command of the Seven Doves, the Black Dragon Legion swooped down gracefully.
This elegance also hides extreme malice and cruelty.
As long as the battle space does not disappear, the effect of [Magic Blocker] will not end.
Seven pigeons, I am afraid I cannot kill them all.
After throwing a bunch of [Magic Blockers], Qi Ge watched the fireworks below explode coldly.
Muriel walked over to Qi Ge and marveled at the scene in front of her.
“Amazing. So amazing.
I didn't expect you have this skill.
The nine thousand troops led by the three legends were about to be destroyed before they could even touch our dragon's tail."
Qi Ge smiled slightly and said:
“I have to thank Your Majesty the Demigod for this.
If you hadn't deployed the battle space in advance, I wouldn't have been able to build enough [magic shields] to cover nine thousand troops and apply optical camouflage."
“This is just something that any legend can do, there is nothing that cannot be beaten.
Once you reach Legend, you will be able to complete this strategy by yourself."
Muriel glanced down, sighed in boredom, and said :
"I thought they could give you a little trouble so that I could show off my abilities in front of you.
After all, the king chooses his subjects, and the subjects choose their king.
Excellent talents will only gather around excellent monarchs. "
Facing Moril's solicitation, Qi Ge pretended not to hear and said to herself:
“In fact, the reason I was able to succeed this time was because I took advantage of the other party’s impatience.
If the other party doesn't try to stop us, but instead relies on the advantage of flying magic to follow us, even I won't be able to do anything to them.
To put it bluntly, this is what I mean, create opportunities.
If they are too eager for success and rush forward, I will send them to their deaths."
This was the second time that Qi Ge rejected Moril.
Muriel took a deep breath and wanted to get angry.
She is a giant dragon, and a black dragon.
Black dragons have never been good-tempered dragons.
Muriel took another deep breath and held it.
People with ability have privileges with her.
She already considered Qi Ge to be a person with special abilities, so he had great privileges!
She snorted coldly, gave Qi Ge a cold look, turned around and walked away angrily.
Qi Ge looked at Muriel and felt amused.
She was still the same as before, even when she was holding her breath, she maintained a cold and arrogant attitude.
Suddenly, three white lights lit up one after another from below.
Qi Ge looked down and found that the remaining Lamp God and the three legendary wizards had disappeared.
He sighed softly, feeling deeply:
"It's not that easy. Without the war shackles, we still can't stop the other party from escaping.
If I deploy the war shackles, I'm afraid the Thunder Lord's army will catch up with me and I won't be able to escape."
"intelligence!"
Qi Ge whispered:
“Wars are fought on intelligence.
If only there was some way I could keep myself informed of the Thunder Lord's Legion's intelligence."
