Turn Red Lion City Upside Down
"Switch tactics, Abei. You, being the faster one, will distract those soldiers first, and then we'll charge in and start the battle."
At the Blessing Hall in the Sorcerous Town of Sellia, You Fei and the others sat down to rest and discuss tactics.
Without even glancing at the Sorcerous Town of Sellia, they were completely determined to go head-to-head with Red Lion City this time.
You asked them how they confirmed that it was Red Lion City?
It's simple. With so many soldiers stationed there, it must be an important place.
"The defenses there are very strong. Of all the areas in the Zane Dungeon, it has the highest number of monsters."
"But this is not their problem, nor is it the problem of the Zane Dungeon."
"It's our problem!"
"Although the enemy is numerous, we are not without a chance of victory because we have discussed our tactics. If we try a few more times, we will surely succeed!"
You Fei was giving a motivational speech before the battle, but something seemed off; at least, the crowd wasn't really stirred up by his words.
"No, I have absolutely no way to defeat something that's so thick and big."
Mor, still in the form of a dragon, was huddled in a corner, trembling. He had gathered some pebbles and other debris with his tail and built a wall around himself, especially piling a lot of stones on his chest. It seemed that simply huddling in the corner was not enough to give him a sense of security.
"Alright, alright, four-legged thing, your teacher and I are here, don't be scared anymore." Abei, unusually, didn't mock Mor, but instead comforted him.
"No, you weren't hit by that thing."
A fearful growl escaped Mor's throat, and he said in a low, trembling voice, his eyes filled with lingering fear:
"I saw it! Countless vengeful spirits of dragons were gathered on that spear. That was a genuine dragon-slaying spear!"
"What are you talking about?" Abei couldn't understand his companion's rambling behavior at all, and looked to You Fei for help, but then Lu Lu Wo interjected:
"There's only one way to get your partner back on track now."
"What?" Abei listened attentively, because You Fei had told him to be respectful to these people.
Although these two dragons look like a T-800 in human form, they are actually not yet adults and are still considered children among dragons.
Thinking about it this way, it's easy to understand why the two of them were bickering and arguing before, and why Mor looks so timid now. After all, he's a kid, and he'll definitely be scared for a while after being frightened.
"If you dismantle that spear trap, he'll cheer up," Lu Lu Wo suggested, offering what she considered the best solution.
"Yes, that's a great idea!"
Abei suddenly understood, gratefully thanked Lu Lu Wo, and turned to run towards You Fei, seemingly to seek her opinion.
Lu Lu Wo watched him leave, then turned to Bei Er Tuo beside her and said:
How many of our people have arrived now?
"Apart from those who stayed in the kingdom to maintain daily operations, everyone else who was supposed to come has arrived and is waiting in Black Rock City."
Bei Er Tuo pulled out a small notebook and handed it to the other person. It contained a list of people that the Skyrim Strategy Team could currently mobilize within the Warrior Country.
The Skyrim Strategy Team has expanded significantly. Apart from the core members currently here, the rest are adventurers who are affiliated with the Skyrim Strategy Team.
If we consider Skyrim Strategy Team as sects, then Lu Lu Wo is the sect leader, the others are elders, Ta Mi and the newcomers who follow them are disciples, and the rest are outer disciples. Most Strategy Team go through this expansion process after they become famous.
Lu Lu Wo and her group have changed their approach to conquering the dungeon from doing everything themselves to mobilizing the masses to gather intelligence, verifying it themselves, and then supplementing the details.
"That concludes your adventure for today," she said. "Have you memorized the route to Red Lion City?"
"Not only did I record it, I also used Image Stone to record videos along the way," Bei Er Tuo said proudly, raising the corners of his mouth.
He knew what he had to do next without needing to say more.
That means leaving the dungeon now and telling those "outer disciples" about what happened in Red Lion City.
"Let them mobilize all their forces and turn Red Lion City upside down!"
And so, with his new mission, Bei Er Tuo bid farewell to everyone and left the Zane Dungeon.
As for Abei, it seemed that You Fei did not agree with his suggestion. After all, it was too dangerous for him to go and dismantle the Dragon-Slaying Spear himself. It was better to stick to the original plan and proceed cautiously for the time being.
Under the influence of a series of mentally stimulating spells, including the Invigorate Spell, Mor was able to temporarily regain his spirits and once again carry everyone to Red Lion City.
Along the way, Abei also transformed into a dragon, a Two-legged Wyvern with a bright red body. It was smaller than Mor and had more slender limbs. Its speed was naturally far greater than Mor's, but its appearance gave the impression that it would take Moore a long time to break through Mor's defenses.
Along the way, everyone was reviewing and reflecting on their experience of fighting the Red Lion Legion, but to be honest, apart from Fan En, they basically only had the experience of being beaten up.
The Red Lion Legion, composed of hundreds of men, guarded the city gate, and their formation looked quite intimidating.
However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that the majority of these are low-ranking soldiers who are not even considered regular soldiers, while a small number are regular soldiers, and there are only a handful of knights under Radahn's command.
Theoretically, they could be defeated if the tactics were appropriate.
It was only because the Dragon-Slaying Spear launched a super-powerful surprise attack that led to the first wipeout.
This time, they not only planned to launch a frontal attack, but also came up with other tactics.
"Boom!"
As the group soared through the air, a cacophony of deafening footsteps followed closely on the ground—the sound of numerous demons stomping their feet. Giant hounds, Giant Crow, Rotten Wild Dog, and even their Rotten Kindred all kept pace with them.
As Abei flew, he scattered fragments of the Lure Skull, attracting monsters along the way to follow in their footsteps.
Researchers outside the field have thoroughly studied the use of the Lure Skull. Even after it is destroyed, the fragments still retain the ability to attract monsters. However, the size of the fragments affects the effect. The kind that Abei is currently scattering can only attract monsters that would not normally notice them for a brief moment.
In this way, the monsters attracted by the fragments will quickly focus their attention on them and follow them all the way here.
That's right, their tactic was to first use Abei and the monsters to break through the Red Lion Legion's defenses, so that Mor could carry them across the most chaotic part of the battlefield and find the best position for combat.
The plan was to break through the defenses, but no one had much confidence in these hastily assembled monsters. The main purpose of bringing these monsters over was to attract the catapults' attacks. The group would destroy the catapults first before engaging in combat.
A perfect plan will surely be implemented flawlessly, just like the original plan.
That was indeed the case at the beginning of the plan.
However, now...
"How did these dragons get here?!" Abei cried out in despair.
At this moment, a group of "loyal fans" followed him. They were monsters of various shapes and sizes, the most important of which was— ["Entering Corruption" Aegis].
The corrupted dragon, somehow attracted by the Lure Skull Abei had scattered everywhere, also flapped its wings and chased after them.
Its appearance, ravaged by corruption and now grotesque, exuded an overwhelming sense of oppression, and it was accompanied by flying creatures, also dragons!
These small flying dragons, which appeared out of nowhere, looked no different from the ordinary flying dragons in the [Dragon Graveyard] region not too far from here. They were randomly released into Caelid by Gong Qiying.
But even ordinary dragons are still dragons, and their natural strength is far greater than that of ordinary monsters. At this moment, no fewer than three dragons caught up with the main force!
Abei was on the verge of tears.
Now it's hard to say whether he led the monsters to attack Red Lion City or whether the monsters were chasing him to escape there; the situation of offense and defense has changed.
"That's impressive!" Looking at Abei, who looked like a monster leader, Lu Lu Wo couldn't help but whistle.
Then he patted Mor on the head, signaling him to stay away from Abei, so that if they started fighting, the blood wouldn't splatter on them.
Abei, however, made a snap decision, thinking that since things had come to this point, he might as well go all out and simply led the monsters to charge directly into Red Lion City!
Without hesitation, he suddenly accelerated, and the monsters were able to keep up with his speed. In an instant, they surged towards Red Lion City. The opposing Legion was on high alert and began aerial combat as before, with the Dragon-Slaying Spear emerging once again.
"With so many soldiers, a single broken spear can't defeat us!" Abei roared, nimbly dodging the catapult and unleashing a blast of Dragon Flame at the soldiers.
I have a feeling that he has already put himself into the monster's body.
"Well done, Abei!" You Fei shouted in encouragement. Taking advantage of the moment when the guards' attention was diverted, the Mor beneath him quickly crossed the Legion and charged directly at the catapults behind.
However, at that moment, there was another commotion in Red Lion City.
Mor glanced at it, and fear returned to his eyes.
Dragon-Slaying Spear have appeared, and they've been lined up in a row on the city walls. Once activated, they're like giant meat grinders.
But that wasn't all. Above the city wall, a host of weapons that people had never seen before appeared.
[Dragon Cannon] [Dragon-Slaying Cannon] [Great Crossbow Bolt]
Today, Mor's psychological trauma will likely increase by several more items.
"Boom boom boom—"
The continuous barrage of artillery fire echoed throughout the entire Caelid, and monsters fell like trash, making it impossible to even see where Abei was.
The effects of the Invigorate Spell wore off at that moment, and the roar awakened Mor's psychological trauma. His wings suddenly twitched, and the entire dragon began to fall!
"Hang in there and don't lose face!"
Lu Lu Wo kept casting spells to provoke the other party's spirit, shouting, "Even if you're going to fall, fall towards the door! Break the door open!"
Mor probably wouldn't have time to hear her speak, as everyone had already begun using Flight Spell to escape from the plane.
Just then, Fan En turned his head and seemed to realize something.
Beside the tightly closed gate, there seemed to be a path leading straight uphill!
It's another classic Sion-style design.
