Chapter 1321: Their respective battlefields (Part )
In the passage of the dragon's lair entwined with sharp dragon claws and tough vines, the surging hot dragon breath instantly illuminated the surroundings with a flickering flame, and also reflected the increasingly ferocious face of the leading sixth-order dragon.
Just when the dragon's breath was about to cover the physical treeman elder, a sinister smile appeared on the ferocious face of the leading sixth-order dragon. At such a close distance, no prey had ever escaped his burning.
But at this moment, the leading dragon was suddenly surprised to find that the high temperature generated by the dragon's breath in the cave was dropping sharply. Before he could react, an ice dragon of the same size as his had easily dispersed the dragon's breath and swooped straight towards him.
Wherever this sudden ice dragon went, there was an instant frost everywhere, and it quickly extinguished other flames around it, leaving only wisps of smoke rising in the passage.
"A sixth-level magic ice dragon? Another summoned creature from a sixth-level magic scroll?!"
The leading dragon soon discovered what was going on. With a look of anger on his face, he confronted the charging magic ice dragon and started fighting with it.
For a moment, the huge passage was filled with ice and fire, causing the surroundings to sometimes frost and sometimes burn. The collision between the two huge bodies was so earth-shaking that other people around did not dare to approach easily.
Unlike the absolute restraint of the Fire Element by the Water Element, the difference between the Ice Element and the Fire Element is that it is more accurate to say that one restrains the other, and both can cause tremendous damage to the other beyond normal levels.
Therefore, even though the leading dragon was facing only an ice-type summoned creature, the fight was still fierce due to the small difference in strength.
Seeing that the opponent was successfully entangled, Shusi and other powerful tree people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and began to join forces to fight other dragons.
For a moment, because one of the opponent's sixth-level fighters was entangled, and our treemen soldiers were able to flexibly use the sixth-level magic scrolls and fifth-level magic scrolls, the dragons that had absolutely restrained the treemen were temporarily at a disadvantage.
Seeing this scene, the dwarf soldiers were immediately excited. Even the young dwarf soldier whose crotch was wet was full of excitement. He commanded his alchemical puppets to try their best to disperse the fog around the tree people to protect them from the influence of the dragon mirage.
However, the tree people including Shusi who were fighting fiercely were not careless at all, and their wooden sculptures had solemn expressions on their faces.
They were all powerful tree people who had participated in the battle hundreds of years ago, and naturally knew best how powerful and terrifying the dragons were.
Although the passage completely limits the dragons' great advantage of flying and forces them to fight on the ground, the narrow area also increases the power of dragon's breath and other fire spells to a considerable extent.
What's more, even in close combat, the treemen themselves do not have any advantages, let alone absolute restraint in attributes.
Especially in the fierce battle just now, with the use of high-level magic scrolls, most of which restrained the opponent's water attribute, the tree people were able to fight against the opponent on equal terms. This shows their strength.
"Fortunately, His Majesty the Human Race generously gave us a large number of magic scrolls before the battle began, otherwise the situation would undoubtedly be extremely bad."
Shusi waved the staff in his hand, thinking this in his heart, while commanding a giant plant cage that fell from the sky to trap a fifth-level dragon that was about to launch a sneak attack.
After the fifth-order dragon was covered, the giant cage covered with poisonous vines shrank rapidly, binding the dragon tightly, and then fell down staggeringly, and soon there was no movement.
The other two treeman elders, with the help of the magic scrolls, fought back and forth with the sixth-level opponents and did not let the other side cross the defense line.
"You bastards, you really pissed me off this time!"
The leading dragon that was entangled by the magic ice dragon seized the opportunity and blew out a breath of dragon's breath again. The blazing flames immediately melted the huge body of the ice dragon, and a large amount of steam rose up.
Although the magic ice dragon is almost as powerful as the leading dragon, it is, after all, a golem puppet-type summoned creature without intelligence. In addition, they restrain each other, so it is difficult for it to entangle the opponent for too long.
After the dragon's breath hit, the leading dragon took advantage of the situation and swung its claws violently, smashing the magic ice dragon's chest into pieces. With ice chips flying all over the sky, the magic ice dragon fell to the ground with a bang and was quickly restored to energy particles.
Then, the leading dragon soon noticed that during the time when it was entangled, two fifth-level dragons fell down. Then, with an angry roar, it rushed towards Shusi again, shouting: "I don't believe that you can't use up all the magic scrolls!"
"No matter what, the tree people will never retreat even a little bit."
Shusi snorted coldly, and countless vines shot out, and he started fighting fiercely with the opponent again.
Such a fierce scene of fighting between tree people and dragons did not only appear at the fork in the road where Shusi and others were. Just as planned in the battle plan, the same scene was happening one after another at a series of large and small forks in the road deep in the nest.
But without exception, facing the extremely restrained dragon, the treemen soldiers everywhere were full of fighting spirit and did not let the opponent cross the line, determined to fight to the death.
Of course, it's not just the treemen soldiers. The auxiliary dwarf elf soldiers are also extremely brave. They flexibly command the alchemical puppets under the noses of the dragons to ensure that the battlefield is not disturbed by the dragon mirage. Once covered by the dragon mirage, various physical phantoms become active, and the opponents are more than just these dragons.
In short, it was because of the wood elves guarding the entrance, the tree people guarding the fork in the road, and the dwarf elves serving as assistance that Lei Xiao and his party were able to go straight into the depths of the nest without any worries.
In an increasingly dark passage of the nest, after the most elite dwarf elves led by Cornette dispersed the fog, Lei Xiao and his group chased the wind and lightning, whistling past like a gust of wind, and behind them, the sound of fighting was extremely fierce.
At this time, except for some dwarf elf warriors such as Broy, tree man warriors such as Shult, and three wood fairy elders, the only ones following Lei Xiao were a group of main human warriors and their main subordinates including Hong Ye.
Of course, there are also five giant dragons including Serin who have transformed into human form again.
As for the accompanying Treeman Legion soldiers, the last part also held their ground at a fork in the road just now to resist the dragons coming from other branch nests.
As they rushed along at lightning speed, listening to the increasingly fierce fighting sounds behind them, the surprise shining in Serin's starry eyes became more and more intense.
She had a wealth of knowledge about the Dragon's Lair, so she knew exactly how many levels and magic traps there were along the way, including dragon mirages and golem puppets.
Even so, with the massive amount of sixth-level detection scrolls that Lei Xiao brought out and the escort of the dwarf elves, the group was able to walk on flat ground and was not restricted at all.
What shocked Serin even more was that, although we came from different forces, our group had a clear division of labor and cooperated closely under Lei Xiao's command. There was no trace of vigilance or grudges between each other. This was obviously completely different from Serin's impression of the foreign tribes.
"Is it because they all have the same enemy that they are so united? No, if that were the case, they should have united hundreds of years ago instead of being defeated one by one."
While feeling puzzled, Serin's starry eyes moved and fell on Lei Xiao's tall back again, her eyes thoughtful.
Then, obviously there is only one possibility left, that is, the human emperor has closely connected these forces together.
"Not only did he make Hong Ye bow his head, but even these forces that had never formed an alliance since the Blank Era gathered around him. How did this guy do it?"
Serin stared at Lei Xiao's back, and the confusion in her starry eyes became even more intense.
"I'm warning you. Don't have any bad intentions towards that adult, or I will tear your head off with my own hands."
Just as Serin was staring at Lei Xiao in a daze, a cold voice suddenly reached her ears.
Serin looked in the direction of the voice and found that Hong Ye had appeared not far from her.
"I haven't seen you for over six hundred years. Is this the first thing you said to me?"
Serin stared at Hong Ye's fair and delicate face and frowned, "Although we were on opposite sides before that night, it wasn't to the point of fighting to the death, right?"
"Yes, but it would be different if that adult was involved."
Hong Ye's voice was unquestionable, and he responded: "I am very grateful for your help, but please curb the arrogance of the dragon clan. Everyone here is a comrade-in-arms fighting side by side, and everyone has the trust to entrust their backs to each other. As long as that lord is here, hope will not be shattered."
"You have really changed. What kind of magic potion did that guy feed you?"
Serin obviously couldn't understand what Hong Ye meant, so she asked curiously, "You who never bow your head, have you really become that guy's mount dragon?"
"Because that adult is worthy."
Hong Ye didn't give Serin a chance to respond. He quickened his pace and soon followed Lei Xiao again.
"What a weird guy! Even if the human emperor is extraordinary, this is too exaggerated, right? It's totally unreasonable! Hong Ye, you are a proud dragon, not a pet like a whimpering oriole! What's more, your master is an ant-like human!"
Looking at Hong Ye's departing figure, Serin said a lot in her heart. Finally, she sighed softly and moved her starry eyes again, focusing her sight on Lei Xiao. She whispered, "Even if he is the emperor among ants, he is just an ant. No matter what, I will never recognize a human."
Under Serin's gaze, Lei Xiao was tense, his mind completely focused on the upcoming decisive battle, not daring to slack off at all.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that although this battle plan was thorough, it still contained too many uncertainties and the road ahead was bleak.
Just as I thought, up to now, if there is a mistake in any link, it is very likely that we will lose the whole game.
For example, when attacking the entrance of the nest at the beginning, if Serin and others had not acted in time, even if he had a backup plan, things would have become extremely passive.
The same is true for our soldiers on various battlefields. Once a position is lost, it may cause an irreversible chain reaction.
In order to prevent this from happening and to reduce the losses of our soldiers, we must race against time and get rid of the culprit deep in the nest as soon as possible.
Just as Lei Xiao was thinking about this, Cornet's stern voice came over: "Your Majesty, the front is the last area of the dragon's nest that we can explore!"
"Is the unknown deepest part of the dragon's lair just ahead?"
Lei Xiao responded first, then said seriously: "The road ahead is still unclear, everyone must be vigilant!"
"Your Majesty, although we have not entered the depths of the dragon's lair, we have explored the border."
Serin hurried over and glared at Hong Ye at first, then introduced reluctantly: "There is a huge door in front of us, which is a relic left by an ancient dragon. It is said that only the owner of the door can open it easily!"
As Serin's clear voice lingered, in the fog ahead that was being quickly dispelled by Cornette and others, a huge, quaint metal door indeed appeared, blocking all of our people.
Under the reflection of the magic light ball, Lei Xiao looked at it intently.
This ancient and huge door, which is a hundred meters high and has a strange dark purple color all over, is just like a small mountain, exuding an unshakable aura.
The frosted surface of the giant door is engraved with strange patterns and symbols, which look like unknown magic runes or abstract works of art, making it a feast for the eyes.
The only thing that can be understood is that in the core position in the middle of the giant gate, there are two giant dragons entangled with each other engraved. However, since the entire gate is dark purple and the depiction is rather general without specific features, it is impossible to determine what kind of dragon it is.
"Prepare to attack and force the door."
Lei Xiao did not hesitate and immediately organized the strong men to line up and form a battle formation.
At present, the main sixth-level combat forces following Lei Xiao include 20 alchemical puppets controlled by dwarfs such as Broy, 7 treeman elders such as Shult, 3 wood fairy elders, Joniel, Gray Elder, Ice Elder, and 3 tribesmen under Serin, totaling 2 sixth-level combat forces, and many half-step sixth-level and fifth-level combat forces such as Louise.
Although this is not as strong as the initial lineup of powerful men, it is also an extremely powerful force.
Under Lei Xiao's command, a tremendous momentum rose into the sky. Our warriors showed their abilities in the order of spell attack first and physical attack later. The power of magic instantly made the entire cave as bright as day, and even shook the earth everywhere.
However, after two waves of intensive attacks that were enough to destroy the world ended one after another, everyone was surprised to find that
The huge metal door in front of him was not shaken at all, not even a scratch or burnt mark appeared.
