"This is troublesome!" Wellington said gravely.
However, he had no intention of retreating. Although his side was at a disadvantage in terms of high-level combat power, the lower-level troops were enough to make up for it, and there was also the support of two Mage towers.
Each Mage tower, if used properly, is equivalent to a Ninth-Rank Transcendent, and as long as there are enough magic crystals, it has a near-infinite supply of Magical Energy.
Before the battle began, Lavier had already considered that Topaz Dragon's reinforcements might have already arrived.
The restraint was to deliver a powerful blow to the Dark Elf and Basilisk.
Therefore, in order to ensure the defenses were strong, he specifically sent all the earth and wood Mage from the Mage corps.
Now is the time for these arrangements to take effect.
After a brief moment of thought, Wellington positioned the two Mage towers on either side of the rocky hill, forming two flanks of defense.
The Heavenly Eye Force also split into two teams, using the Mage Tower as the core for coordinated defense and employing their technological weapons for defensive counterattacks.
"Roar! Damn humans! They actually took advantage of our scouting trip to seize the entrance to the passage! I, Wesker, will never let them get away with this!" Topaz Dragon, named Wesker, roared furiously, his dragon cries shaking the heavens and the earth.
The Gold Dragon remained relatively calm. "Wesker, don't let anger cloud your judgment. These aren't ordinary humans; they are Three-Eyed People, extremely skilled in combat, and will be very difficult to deal with."
"Our top priority now is to break through the defensive perimeter built by these Three-Eyed People and open up the entrance to the Underdark, otherwise we risk being surrounded!"
"Surround them? Chris, what do you mean?"
The Gold Dragon flicked its tail, a fierce glint flashing in its golden eyes. "Isn't it clear enough? These Three-Eyed People, just like us, come from the outside world. They have enormous ambitions. Before the war even broke out, they sent an elite force to completely block our retreat."
"I'm sure that by now, the main force of the Three-Eyed People is already attacking the Dark Elf and the Basilisk."
"Once the Dark Elf and Basilisk are defeated, we'll be sitting ducks."
Don't forget, these warmongers have always been very interested in slaying dragons!
After listening to Gold Dragon Chris's analysis, Topaz Dragon Wesker was visibly stunned for a moment. After a brief thought, a look of seriousness flashed in his fiery eyes. Although he was still furious, he eventually regained his composure.
"Chris, what do you think we should do?"
"As I've already said, the most urgent task is to break through the enemy's defensive perimeter. This way, we can attack or defend as needed, and we won't put ourselves in a mortal situation."
"Don't forget, the entrance to the Underdark you discovered this time is located in the Xiya Archipelago. This place is far from peaceful; Dragon Island's reach can't extend there yet."
"Fortunately, most of our followers have already entered the Underdark, and our strength surpasses theirs, so breaking through their defenses shouldn't be too difficult."
"Okay, we'll do it your way!" Topaz Dragon nodded slightly.
"In that case, let's first gather all our clans, consolidate our scattered forces into a single powerful force, and then, led by the two of us, launch a Destruction attack to tear through their defensive perimeter in one fell swoop."
After speaking, the Gold Dragon dragon raised its head and let out a long, deep, earth-shaking dragon roar, followed closely by the Topaz Dragon.
Upon hearing the two dragon roars, the True Dragon clans scattered within a radius of several kilometers began to quickly gather.
Standing six meters tall, wielding a stone or steel hammer, with a robust physique, a thick, long tail supporting its back, and covered in mottled dragon scales, the Dragon Vein Giant Dragonblood Monitor Lizard.
A stone monster made entirely of stone, grayish-brown in color, with no eyes or mouth, relying entirely on the vibrations of the earth's veins to sense its location and locate enemies.
Tall, dark-skinned trolls; black-scaled fishmen, upright creatures with black scales and webbed feet; and terrifying giant crabs with scorpion bodies but human faces...
And there were as many as 100,000 kobolds with red skin, tattered clothes, and extremely fanatical eyes, emitting strange chirping sounds.
The combined retinues of the two True Dragon numbered over a hundred thousand, a vast, dark mass stretching as far as the eye could see, like an endless, Destruction Tide threatening to annihilate the rocky islet built by Wellington and Melier.
In addition to the army of ordinary monsters, the True Dragon's retinue also included nearly twenty High-Rank Transcendent Lifeform, scattered throughout the army, directing the previously chaotic forces to quickly restore order.
Wellington, who witnessed all of this, became even more serious.
He knew that this enemy would be extremely difficult to deal with.
The fact that the opponent could transform naturally chaotic and undisciplined monsters into such an orderly war formation demonstrates their considerable intelligence.
"Is it that Gold Dragon?" Wellington wondered, and he was pretty sure that what he was seeing was the work of the Gold Dragon.
He had witnessed Topaz Dragon's near-madness earlier, and besides, the Gold Dragon Clan was known for its wisdom and erudition.
"As expected of the leader of the Metallic Dragon Clan, the most beloved offspring of the God of Benevolence, he is indeed troublesome."
Wellington squinted and thought to himself.
And so, one side quickly constructed defensive fortifications, while the other side busily organized its troops; five minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Although only five minutes had passed, with the help of various mechanical equipment and earth and wood Mage, a city wall several kilometers long, twenty meters wide, and about thirteen meters high was erected in just a few minutes.
Within the city walls, the tree roots, nurtured by wood-elemental Mage, spread like a spider web in all directions, acting as reinforcing steel to maintain the stability of the entire architectural system.
Earth Mage solidified the originally soft soil into stone with a hardness comparable to steel.
By combining the two, they quickly built a Sturdiness fortress, and the height of this fortress continued to increase.
Two Mage towers, each about 25 meters high, are located inside the city walls. A stone platform is built beneath them, which is roughly level with the city walls, thus ensuring a relatively good view and facilitating fire support from the Mage.
Topaz Dragon took in everything and quickly said to Gold Dragon beside him, "Chris, we can't wait any longer. The other side is obviously well-prepared, with so many earth and wood Mage. If we let them continue building like this, it will become increasingly difficult to break through their defenses."
Gold Dragon Chris flapped his wings, his golden scales reflecting a faint light. After hearing the words of Topaz Dragon Wesker, he nodded and decided to launch an attack.
Although the military order is not yet at its most ideal level, the enemy is building defensive fortifications at an alarming rate, and we cannot afford to delay any longer.
Roar!
The dragon's roar shook the heavens, its sound waves rolling.
Accompanied by the booming of ancient war drums and the sounding of horns, hundreds of thousands of monsters roared as they charged toward the defensive perimeter constructed by Wellington.
"Heavenly Eye Force, fire!!"
At Wellington's command, 1,500 Heavenly Eye Force soldiers simultaneously pulled their triggers.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The sound produced by an electromagnetic gun firing a bullet is not loud; it is quite deep and accompanied by a faint hissing sound of electricity.
However, the power of these bullets was quite astonishing. The barrage swept across from afar, and in an instant, corpses littered the ground. More than two thousand members of the True Dragon Clan were killed on the spot, and blood flowed like a river.
"Counterattack! Where's the magic crystal cannon? Fire!"
"The stone golem summons a giant rock to crush them."
"High-Rank Transcendent Lifeform seeks an opportunity to scale the city wall and tear open a breach!"
Gold Dragon and Topaz Dragon did not rush forward immediately. They planned to let their subordinates wear down the enemy's firepower before launching an attack to deliver the final blow.
As for the casualties of their retinues, these were not within the scope of consideration for the two True Dragon. To the True Dragon Clan, their retinues were simply consumables, even if they were High-Rank Transcendent Lifeform, they were just consumables with a higher price.
