Chapter 78: Battle of Hashim City
Under the protection of Dragon Guard and Dragon Magic, Li Qing soared into the sky on a giant eagle and flew straight to the sky.
In order to avoid being directly attacked by the Mage Tower, he started to ascend after being more than ten kilometers away from the city.
It climbed to the limit of the giant eagle's rise in one breath, a full 10,000 meters in height. At this moment, nothing could be seen from above, including the huge Hashem. All it saw was a vast expanse of land, with only the unusual bright light flashing from time to time.
That is the energy fluctuation generated when the Mage Tower casts a spell and draws energy from the energy pool, also called spiritual flash, which can be vaguely sensed even at a distance of tens of thousands of meters.
Li Qing flew to the sky above the estimated city and began to capture the flash to locate the wizard tower.
But when he arrived above the Mage Tower on the giant eagle, he had already been scanned by the Mage Tower.
The snakeman wizard who was in charge of the Mage Tower's observatory immediately received an alarm. He scanned Li Qing, who had flown 10,000 meters above his head, and was shocked and angry:
"You are courting death!"
He stretched out his hand and pressed a crystal ball in front of his eyes, muttering something loudly. The next second, countless lightning bolts appeared on the ground of the observatory, flew out along the complex rune formation, and condensed into a dazzling ball of lightning in the center. Then the snake-man wizard stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky.
“Crack!”
The dazzling ball of lightning flashed for a moment, and the next second it turned into an extremely thick lightning pillar that shot up into the sky.
Li Qing's heart was instantly filled with alarm, he turned to look at Long Shou and said:
"you first."
Long Shou nodded, flapped his wings, and flew below him without hesitation. He opened his mouth, gathered his strength, and blew a breath of dragon's breath downwards.
At the same time, Li Qing quickly captured the location of the dazzling lightning strike, quickly calculated the direction in his mind, and flew forward with Long Shou.
"boom!"
The lightning shot up into the sky like a thunder dragon, and the dragon breath spewed out by Long Shou was shattered like a dead tree or rotten wood. The angry thunder dragon instantly submerged Long Shou.
Almost instantly, Li Qing groaned, and from what he sensed, Long Shou's life force had disappeared.
The power of this lightning, which had been fully strengthened by the Mage Tower, had surpassed that of an ordinary eight-ring spell and was close to a nine-ring spell. It smashed Long Shou into pieces in one blow.
Fortunately, Long Shou already believed in him, and the moment he died, his soul involuntarily flew into his body.
“It’s too risky!”
Even though several mentors have rich experience, they have only had experiences like Li Qing's. If he is not careful, everything will be gone and he won't even be able to save the Blackrock Tower.
“But if it were us, we would do the same.”
Samsung mentor Xu Xisheng said seriously:
"This battle is a journey of transformation for him. Failure is of course a big deal, but if he can successfully accomplish this feat, his soul, his spirit, and his will will all be transformed, which will have an extraordinary impact on his future."
"yes!"
Another instructor also nodded and said:
"Any successful war lord will go through this stage. If they successfully cross this stage and become a dragon, their future life will be full of opportunities."
The other instructors did not speak, but they were all concentrating on the scene in front of them, with a hint of anticipation in their eyes.
Although he is not my apprentice, as a mentor, I can't help but look forward to it every time I see this scene.
One shot killed Long Shou instantly, but the Mage Tower monitored that Li Qing was unharmed and cast another spell without hesitation.
It was still the same enhanced version of chain lightning, rising into the sky like a thunder dragon.
The flash of lightning immediately allowed Li Qing to capture the location, and he quickly determined the exact coordinates of the Mage Tower through the lightning. He turned to look at Long Fa and said:
"now you!"
Long Fa pounced towards the thunder dragon soaring into the sky without hesitation or fear, and opened his mouth to spit out a breath of dragon.
The LV5 dragon breath was indeed extraordinary. Compared with Long Shou’s dragon breath, which had no power to resist and was smashed to pieces along with the dragon breath, Long Fa’s dragon breath persisted for a moment, and Thunder Dragon obviously paused for a moment.
But although the quality was sufficient, the quantity was not at the same level, and it was swallowed by the thunder dragon in the next second.
Then Li Qing sensed that Long Fa's soul was merging into himself.
Since their power levels are not the same, they can only block one wave.
But with the two of them buying time, Li Qing had already determined the coordinates of the Mage Tower. He quickly opened the space in his palm and threw out one by one... high-density rocks with a diameter of ten meters.
How could he just throw away one of them when two of his men were risking their lives for such an opportunity?
Li Qing threw all the existing meteorites in there in one breath, and thirteen huge rocks fell down one after another like dumplings.
"good!"
Nie Yang couldn't help but pump his fist in praise, and felt relieved.
More than a dozen meteorites were immediately monitored by the Mage Tower. The face of the great wizard Kendin, who was sitting on the observatory, changed immediately. He stood up as if his butt was on fire, grabbed the gorgeous staff beside him and inserted it into the central slot of the observatory. A powerful magic wave exploded, and the surface of the Mage Tower quickly lit up with a dazzling light.
The Mage Tower lit up layer by layer; on the surface and inside, countless magic lines lit up and extended their spiritual light upwards.
In the deepest energy pool inside the Mage Tower, the originally stable energy pool suddenly made a dull muffled sound, and then the densely packed runes around the pool quickly lit up, and the energy pool water converted from high energy set off waves as if it had been exploded.
A stream of energy broke through the light film on the surface of the energy pool and rushed out of the energy pool, quickly burning in the air and turning into a surging energy flame, which was drawn into a vortex formed by a magic circle that appeared out of thin air on the top of the energy pool.
Affected by the vortex, the energy in the energy pool began to burn. Unimaginable energy was forcibly extracted and transformed into pure energy that was injected into the mage tower along the magic circle.
In less than ten seconds, the abundant energy in the energy pool had been reduced to half.
Infinite energy was drawn and quickly rose to the top of the Mage Tower along the body of the tower, transforming into a dazzling, thick energy stream of light that flew up and formed a huge vortex of light in the air hundreds of meters above the top of the tower like five fingers spread out.
As energy was injected, the vortex of flowing light expanded rapidly, like a slowly opening hand holding up the sky to welcome the falling flaming meteors.
At this moment, everyone in the entire Hashim City saw this scene. In the lord's mansion, Grand Lord Hashim looked up at the sky with a pale face, his eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.
Although his subordinates saved his life before, the army he relied on to rule was completely wiped out. Now the enemy has reached his territory, which makes him extremely angry, but he is helpless and can only hope that Master Kendin can drive away the enemy.
But what he didn't know was that Master Kendin was also unsure at this moment.
If it were just one or two meteorites, it would be fine. With the power of the Mage Tower, not only can we block them head-on, but we can also throw them back if we are willing to consume a certain amount of energy.
But the problem is that there are more than a dozen meteorites.
To be honest, if all his life and property were not in this wizard tower, he would have teleported away long ago.
Now he can only fight hard.
After falling tens of thousands of meters, the boulder had turned into a flaming meteorite. Civilians who had not yet reached the ground could feel the air temperature rising rapidly. Unspeakable terror and horrific heat rushed towards them, and they fell heavily into the opening energy vortex.
Everyone only saw a halo of flames exploding above their heads, extending for thousands of meters away, as if a fire cloud covered most of the city.
But the meteorite disappeared without a sound, like a drop in the ocean. There was no terrifying shock wave, and no violent explosion was seen.
However, this was only the first meteorite. Just a few seconds later, the second meteorite arrived as expected.
Just like the first meteorite, a halo of fire exploded, but the meteorite was forcibly caught by the energy vortex.
The third, the fourth, the fifth...
Every time one was hit, a blinding halo of flames would explode above the city, and those who were not aware would think it was some kind of fireworks show.
Inside the Mage Tower, every time a meteorite is caught, the energy in the energy pool will evaporate out of thin air.
As the particles fell one by one, the energy in the energy pool disappeared bit by bit, and soon most of it disappeared.
At this time, Kendin was very clear that the energy storage in the energy pool was insufficient, but he had no choice but to endure it.
When the ninth meteorite was taken, the energy in the energy pool was exhausted, revealing the complex magic array patterns at the bottom.
Immediately after the tenth meteorite fell, Kendin threw a pile of magic gems onto the ground in front of him. As the tenth meteorite fell into the vortex, an invisible wave swept through, and the pile of magic gems thrown on the ground shattered into colorful lights that filled the sky and poured into the sky-high light column.
The eleventh meteorite fell, the huge vortex tilted suddenly, and the dazzling halo exploded at an angle.
One side pierced into the sky, and the other side slashed diagonally into the city. A large number of buildings were split in two, and a ravine over a thousand meters long, burning with flames, appeared in the city.
The twelfth meteorite arrived as promised. Kendin gritted his teeth and walked into the magic circle himself.
With a loud bang, his whole body shook violently, and dazzling magical light spurted out from his pupils and nostrils.
The vortex at the top of the Mage Tower was forced down dozens of meters before it barely blocked the meteorite.
But there is one last meteorite behind.
Kendin wiped the blood spurting from his nose, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand and pressed it in the center of the magic circle.
The next second, the magic patterns inside the entire Mage Tower lit up again, and an indescribable force surged out. The many mages and apprentices who were staying in the Mage Tower, the prisoners imprisoned at the bottom of the Mage Tower, etc., all showed a trace of fear on their faces, and then transparent flames burned all over their bodies.
In just two seconds, the flame changed from transparent to blood flame, rising up and merging into the Mage Tower.
"boom!"
The moment the meteorite collided with the vortex that had already turned blood-red, the vortex that had already carried twelve meteorites fell rapidly and stopped when it fell to the top of the wizard's tower.
After only one second, Kendin on the observatory spat out a mouthful of blood, the vortex exploded, and the raging tide instantly submerged everything around.
"good!"
All the instructors exclaimed in praise, and Instructor Nie Yang even let out a long sigh.
Outside Hashim City, when Anerqiu saw the flames falling from the sky and engulfing the Mage Tower, he did not hesitate and decisively ordered his troops to attack Hashim City.
At the same time, Hashim, who was staying in the City Lord's Mansion, overturned the table in front of him in despair after seeing this scene.
Sitting there gasping for breath, he turned around and went into the back of the house with an expressionless face.
Soon after, a convoy appeared at the riverside dock, and a group of people boarded the boat that had been prepared long ago, ready to leave the city.
Li Qing, who was slowly descending from the sky, naturally discovered Hashim's fleet that was preparing to escape. He drove the giant eagle to fly about a thousand meters above the fleet, and a magic lightning struck down, causing a crackling explosion on the ship. Hashim was protected by the female snake mage nearby, but a large number of snake soldiers on the ship were left unprotected and were blown to the ground.
You won't necessarily die, but you will temporarily lose your combat effectiveness.
Lord Hashim himself is not very strong, he is only a fourth-level warrior, but his strategic level is quite high. However, the situation at this time requires strong strength to solve it, but he does not have it, so naturally there is no way.
After a burst of magic lightning, Li Qing threw a huge rock down with his backhand.
The female snake wizard who was following Hashim immediately pulled him away and teleported away. The falling rocks smashed the ship to pieces, and the treasures on the ship naturally sank into the water.
But no one cared about this at this time. Hashim fled like a stray dog under the protection of his men.
But no matter how fast they ran, they could not outrun those flying in the sky, and they could not teleport far in a hurry. Li Qing quickly found the two people not far from the shore and blasted a fireball at them from a distance.
Seeing that she could not escape, the female snake wizard turned around and fought back. Li Qing and she used counter-spells and dispelling magic back and forth. You cast a gravity spell, I cast a spider web spell, you cast a displacement spell and then a slow spell, I counter-cast a dispelling spell on myself and cast another spider web spell.
The two sides fought back and forth for four or five rounds. After stacking five spider web techniques, Li Qing suddenly threw down another huge rock in an unsportsmanlike manner.
Then it immediately moved to the left for several dozen meters and dropped the second boulder.
The female snake mage was bound by spider webs and couldn't move. She couldn't get in even if she opened any door, so she could only escape by using flash.
But Li Qing estimated the direction and distance and threw down another huge rock.
At this time, the height between them was less than a hundred meters, and the boulder fell very quickly. By the time the female snake mage appeared, the boulder had already fallen.
With a loud "boom", the whole world fell silent.
After killing the female snakeman wizard, Li Qing slowly found the fleeing snakeman overlord, bound him to the ground with a spider web so that he could not escape, and then killed him with a magic missile whose power and effect were enhanced by 100%.
As the snakeman overlord died, a dazzling ball of light condensed into shape.
Li Qing took it out and put it away, an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face.
He picked up the body and turned back to the flames-enshrouded Hashim City. Li Qing flew to the top of the city, took out Hashim's head and threw it to the top of the city.
Then they took out two huge stones and threw them down from a high altitude. With two loud 'booms', two huge gaps over 20 meters long were smashed into the city wall. The human troops outside the city, led by An Erqiu and Xie Zhu, rushed in through the gaps.
The morale of the defenders in the city, who were already low, completely collapsed after seeing the continuous might of heaven and the head of their own lord. They were attacked into the city without even putting up a fight.
An Erqiu rushed to the Mage Tower first, and at a command, the remaining one hundred snakemen and the lord's guards rushed to the Mage Tower and fought with the dozen gargoyles guarding in front of the Mage Tower.
