The snow stopped, and the sky was briefly clear for a day, and then it was covered by dense clouds. The thick clouds pushed forward like a tidal wave from the northwest with strong winds, blocking the sunlight above Ash Fortress.

Dark clouds over the city.

As the earth continued to tremble, Storm Legion's warriors also arrived one after another. Before that, Blue Dragon had already known the news of Ember Scar's complete retreat, so they immediately launched the siege without hesitation.

The army stretching for several miles stretched out on the plain, its wings stretched forward, and the large group of Thunder Beast cavalry surrounded the Ash Fortress wildly, planting one after another Evil Dragon battle flags that roared up to the sky.

When night came, Storm Legion had completed its deployment, and 80,000 people formed a huge formation at Steelspine Plains, completely surrounding Ash Fortress.

Their sentries stood like clouds, and all Warband were setting up camps in an orderly manner. Groups of soldiers formed human chains and began to load and unload the flint needed for the catapults.

Storm Family does not need a battering ram like Short-lived Species to siege the city. The power of True Dragon is stronger than any siege ram, but catapults are still necessary and can strike alternately with spells to suppress Ashmark Lineage's defense.

"The enemy moves very quickly."

Ferrum stood at a high place and whispered.

He was on the landing platform of the rear guard fort, with In Tas and Afterglow beside him. According to Zane's plan, Ferrum should have brought all Lesser Dragon with him and led them in the killing operation.

But after Ferrum thought about it, he finally chose only his two companions.

The danger of this battle is beyond imagination. There is no need for all Lesser Dragons to take risks with him. They can stay in the position to attack and defend, and can also exert their own strength. With the support of Lord Giant Dragon and the protection of the big spellcaster, it is much safer than joining this army.

In addition to the two Lesser Dragon, there are four Bloodfire Guards and five hundred Wyvern Cavalry behind Ferrum, forming an elite guerrilla force.

At this moment, the riders are soothing the restless Wyvern, and their snorts form bursts of white air in the cold wind.

"Storm Family's army mainly relies on Thunder Beast and Flying Locust Scythe, which are their cavalry and Wyvern teams. They are huge in scale. After a long period of cultivation and training, those two Aberrant Monster are not afraid of the majesty of the dragon."

Afterglow said, "Our soldiers basically fight on foot. If they are fighting in the wild, without Giant Dragon's protection, they will not be able to block their attack, and it will be difficult to find opportunities to counterattack."

"So Wilds Campaign, the main Battlefield defense line collapsed soon. It was a wise move for the family to completely abandon the field battle this time."

Ferrum nodded slightly. "When I was at the Gray Sand River, although the Juvenile Dragon I saw had some strength, they were very weak and not good at fighting. I wonder what Blue Dragon's Juvenile Dragon is like?"

"It's tricky."

Afterglow shook his head and said, "Storm Family's Juvenile Dragon are basically three to four companions, ordering the troops to act together, just like us now. Their relatives are probably raised since childhood, so they are very loyal and willing to die for them."

"When Lesser Dragon and Blue Dragon met on Battlefield, they were basically suppressed by them, so there were a lot of casualties."

She lowered her gaze. "Only Ladon can compete with them. With the body of Hatchling Dragon, it is really impossible to measure against those Juvenile Dragon and Archaic Species by common sense."

Ferrum glanced at her. "You can't boast about other male dragons, otherwise I will be angry."

Afterglow raised his head and bared his fangs. "I haven't asked you yet, where did that Cobalt Dragon come from?"

"You should still be more cautious."

Ferrum turned his head and looked at the enemy's battle formation seriously. "During war, there is no need to say unnecessary words."

He saw huge dragon shadows rising and falling in the distance. Blue Dragon was called Higher Species among Chromatic Dragon. As large dragons, they had strong bodies and excellent spell-casting abilities. Although they were slightly weaker than Red Dragon, they were much more dangerous than Red Dragon.

Red Dragon is arrogant and a loner. They neither know how to rule nor can they launch large-scale wars. Their attacks are like furious beasts falling from the sky. Even though they are fierce, they are easy to deal with.

Blue Dragon is just the opposite. They claim to be descendants of natural disasters and compare themselves to storms. Like Iron Dragon, they will build families and even kingdoms and run their own territories and armies, but they are not as incompetent and weak as Green Dragon. They are good at waging wars and dare to take the lead and roar to break the formation.

Legend has it that Tiamat initially only created Blue Dragon and Red Dragon. Blue Dragon, as the most loyal descendant of Tiamat, fought for her in all realms., killed many dragon gods whose names had been forgotten, allowing Tiamat to gain more and more power, and then created Green Dragon, Black Dragon and White Dragon one after another.

From obscurity to zenith.

Today, Chromatic Dragon has risen. Together with Gem Dragon and Metallic Dragon, it is known as the most powerful dragon clan in all worlds. Exotic Dragon, who originally competed with Chromatic Dragon, was now defeated in the war, and Heavy-Metal Dragon was left with only the last glow of the sunset.

"Many of the Storm Family's troops are veterans who participated in the previous Dragon Blood War. They know how to deal with dragons. They have special hooks and Armor Break arrow clusters, and their discipline is also very good."

In Tas said.

Ferrum turned to look at him. The former Thunderclap Dragon had now grown up, with sharp horns, fine black scales, and eye-catching golden cloud patterns.

"Do you and Blue Dragon fight in the same way?" Ferrum suddenly asked.

In Tas was startled and nodded thoughtfully. "There are some similarities, but I am not the opponent of young Blue Dragon. In a one-on-one situation, I can only resist for a quarter of an hour."

"It's already very good."

Ferrum smiled, "Maybe you are the real descendant of natural disaster."

At this time, he saw a slight commotion among the troops on the outer wall. Storm Family's troops did not roar or roar, but quickly advanced and deployed. They were silent to the point of being cold, but their power was like a sea wave. A huge sense of oppression had passed through the city wall and descended on the defenders in the fortress.

The soldiers watched helplessly as Blue Dragon rose and fell in the camp, gathering and rectifying the troops, distributing arrow clusters and hooks, advancing catapults and siege crossbows, and deploying magicians to prepare attacks. They couldn't help but be moved.

This kind of oppression would wear down the spirit and courage of the soldiers. In the end, even the Giant Dragon lords hesitated, considering whether to attack first and destroy the enemy's military strength.

A moment later, the blood energy soaring into the sky tore apart the clouds, and Taigo crashed into the Storm Family's battle formation like a burning meteorite.

"Attack!"

Blue Dragon The opportunity we had been waiting for finally came. The murderous aura that had been suppressed for a long time burst out. For a moment, there was thunder and lightning in the sky, huge flint exploded on the city wall, and spells of various shapes poured out like a heavy rain.

Thick smoke flooded the city walls of Ash Fortress, and black debris scattered in all directions. The family did not use the magic stone protection in the fortress, but took the soldiers into the bunker to take shelter.

At the same time, Storm Army moved like a frenzy, launching a large-scale attack with the support of siege crossbows, catapults and spellcasters.

Taigo's surprise attack triggered this war, but he did not really want to fight alone. After tearing apart Storm Family's oppression, he began to retreat towards Ash Fortress.

In the black sky, the battle between King Iron Dragon and Storm Divine Chosen attracted everyone's attention. The legendary creatures each spit out bright lightning and electric fire. Every time they collided, the warriors on the ground roared and the earth trembled. Everyone roared and fought under their membrane wings.

"Roar!"

Without the assistance of Titan, Storm Divine Chosen could not limit Taigo's power and could only summon more members to besiege him.

"Taigo is really Taigo."

Ferrum took a deep breath. He did not go into battle immediately. Now was not the time for Hatchling Dragon to go into battle. The family also tried its best to avoid Hatchling Dragon's casualties during the deployment.

This is the first time Ferrum has met Taigo. This leader who sent mead to Dragonbirth Day and invited Dragon Hatchling to drink together in his first Dragonbirth Day is as majestic as the legend says.

The King of Iron Dragon single-handedly blocked the sky of Ash Fortress, making it impossible for all Blue Dragon to pass over him and cast spells downwards. The overwhelming blood energy made him look like a burning black sun, roaring above the fortress, invincible.

Below, the Ember Scar Army, as the defender, had a brief advantage, but did not fight to the death. As the enemy continued to pour in, they retreated backwards in sequence according to the plan.

After paying an acceptable price, Storm Army completed the occupation of the city wall and immediately became excited and ecstatic. Their cavalry could not run in the chaotic fortress. The soldiers jumped off their mounts and fought on foot with Thunder Beast. They roared and began to chase.

Then encountered a vicious ambush and resistance.

After the continuous casualties, the Blue Dragons became alert. They realized that they had captured the fortress, but they had not yet won the war. They lacked understanding of the situation inside Ash Fortress, and the city was unimaginably huge.

At this time, the magic stone in the fortress finally activated, blocking the attacker's view, and all detection spells were countered.

As a powerful enemy, the Blue Dragons also showed strong discipline and determination. They made a prompt decision and began to destroy the buildings and bunkers in sight, reorganize and deploy their troops, and let the soldiers flood into the fortress like a rising tide. They advanced in steps, searching and killing all enemies they saw.

Everything happened as Zane expected.

The strong smell of blood rolled in with gunpowder smoke. Ferrum saw the figures of Veloa and Leighton, and also saw Valyria biting and snapping photos. Their power roared among the ruins, and Giant Dragon led their respective Warband in a roaring fight.

"This is our family."

As they roared, Ferrum's blood also heated up. When he stepped forward, the Wyverns roared and flapped their membrane wings, all ready for battle.

"Attack!"

Ferrum jumped off the platform, facing the smoke and roar, and attacked with the wind.
