After finalizing their plan, the Dark Elf Clan quickly sprang into action.
Leader Yarwei and Elder Windsor each led a portion of their elite forces to support the First and Second Border Defense Army, respectively.
Once Windsor arrived, he quickly adjusted the battle plan, switching to full defense, and ordered his clansmen to the front lines to serve as cannon fodder, in order to buy time while minimizing losses among his own clansmen.
On the other side, Gold Dragon Chris and Topaz Dragon Wesker were bombarding the two Mage towers with dragon breath and continuous spells.
The other High-Rank Transcendent under their command were engaged in fierce battle with the warriors of the Heavenly Eye Force.
With the support of the stone mountain and the Melier Elemental Convergence Cannon, the Heavenly Eye Warriors managed to fight these High-Rank Transcendent Lifeform to a standstill, with both sides suffering losses.
The defense remained steadfast, Wellington couldn't help but smile, but his expression quickly hardened.
Yarwei led over a hundred Transcendent Dark Elf warriors of Tier Five or higher into the battle.
Further back, the Dark Elf Race First Border Defense Army, dragging along old-fashioned magical war machines such as magic crystal cannons, rune ballistae, and catapults, drove tens of thousands of their dependents' troops forward.
"Your Excellency Gold Dragon, the Dark Elf Race is willing to offer you our loyalty!" Yarwei bowed in the air, her attitude extremely respectful.
The unexpected good news made Gold Dragon Chris ecstatic, and his previously exhausted body was immediately infused with new vitality.
He hadn't expected that the Dark Elf Clan would side with him instead of the Three-Eyed People.
Gold Dragon's wisdom allowed him to quickly understand the reason.
"Was the judgment made because of prolonged isolation and lack of knowledge about the outside world?"
The Gendaya People treat their non-human races fairly well, especially high-quality races like the Dark Elf, who receive very generous treatment.
But the Dark Elf were unaware of this situation. Their limited thinking and the constraints of their time led them to decide to join the True Dragon Clan.
The above is what Gold Dragon Chris deduced in a flash.
It has to be said, this guy's brains have lived up to his bloodline.
Having understood the situation, the Gold Dragon quickly said, "Honorable Elf Lady, I, the Gold Dragon Chris Og Kandos... am willing to accept your allegiance."
A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Topaz Dragon's eyes. He was the one who discovered the Underdark first, and the Gold Dragon was just a helper he had invited. According to the agreement between the two dragons, the latter could not accept any Underdark creatures pledging allegiance.
However, given the special circumstances, Topaz Dragon forcibly suppressed his dissatisfaction and didn't say anything more.
The Dark Elf quickly joined the battle, and the two Mage towers, which had been holding their own, were now in grave danger.
Yarwei is Ninth-Rank Transcendent, and she brought as many as twelve High-Rank Transcendent with her. The rest are all Tier Five- or Tier Six. After they rushed in, the Magical Energy in the Elemental Pool of the two Mage towers was rapidly depleted.
Although there are still many magic crystals, the efficiency of the Elemental Pool in converting Magical Energy has an upper limit. Once the consumption exceeds a certain critical point, the defense system will be broken.
"Damn it, we can probably only hold out for another five minutes. What should we do?" Wellington's face grew anxious. The sudden arrival of the Dark Elf had caused the situation to spiral out of control.
The old count was locked in a standoff with Ninth-Rank Transcendent of the Basilisk clan and couldn't spare a move. The latter's Petrifying Eye were too lethal and had to be contained, otherwise the casualties among the soldiers of the three major families would be too great.
After a moment's thought, Wellington sent Logo a message asking for help.
Logo received it quickly, but only replied with one sentence, "Trust Melier!"
Wellington frowned, but quickly relaxed.
He's done everything he could, so even if the defenses collapse, it's not his responsibility.
"Now, let's see what abilities Melier possesses that make the Earl trust him so much."
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Wellington ordered the Mage tower to be spread out to both sides, exposing the stone mountain.
In this way, the stone mountain became the frontal defense, while the two Mage towers were responsible for resisting the attacking army of the Dark Elf Race.
"Excellent! They've abandoned the first line of defense!" Gold Dragon Chris roared to the sky, his heart pounding with excitement.
They thought they would be brought under control in this Underdark, but the Dark Elf suddenly joined them, turning the tide of the situation.
"Indeed, we must never give up!" Gold Dragon thought to himself. Then, together with Topaz Dragon and Yarwei, three Ninth-Rank Transcendent, and hundreds of mid-level or higher Transcendent, they launched their strongest attack on the stone mountain formed by Melier.
Boom!!
Terrifying Transcendent attacks manifested in various strange phenomena: True Dragon soaring through the sky, arrows piercing stars, billowing flames, and surging black mist...
Amidst the turbulent chaos of the elements, resembling a raging sea and an earthquake, Melier, hidden within the rocky mountain, remained composed, her expression stern, her pupils as calm and serene as a still sea.
"Giant Mountain Mecha, Unbreakable Barrier, Activate!"
[Unbreakable Barrier] Active - A defensive ability formed by a three-star Rune Array. When activated, external armor strength +300%, all elemental resistance +30%, and immunity to all physical control effects below Tier Nine.
Once the Giant Mountain Mecha's most powerful ability was activated, countless deep yellow patterns spread across the surface of the stone mountain like a spider web, instantly enveloping the entire mountain.
Moreover, the Gru Heavy Shield was also powered by 80% of its strength. The Giant Mountain Mecha standing on the earth was gathering earth Elemental Magical Energy at an incredibly fast speed. This Legendary equipment was already able to burst into dazzling light in Melier's hands.
The combination of a three-star Legend quality Giant Mountain Mecha and a four-star common quality Gru Heavy Shield results in a geometric increase in defensive power.
In a daze, Gold Dragon Chris seemed to see a towering mountain standing before him, exuding an immense aura of indestructibility, immovability, and unbreakable power.
Boom!!
Finally, hundreds of Transcendent attacks landed on the stone mountain.
Earth and rocks flew everywhere, and the rocky mountain cracked. However, before the Gold Dragon could rejoice, the newly appeared cracks were filled with countless surging earth element particles.
"Good!!"
Wellington, standing nearby, was simultaneously controlling his Mage tower to resist the Dark Elf army's attack while observing the battle unfold.
Upon seeing that Melier had completely blocked the attacks of so many Transcendent experts, he was overjoyed.
"No wonder the Earl is so confident in the defenses here; Melier is truly a man of few words," Wellington remarked.
He looked delighted and was in high spirits, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
In contrast, the two True Dragon and the Dark Elf Yarwei seemed to have been doused with cold water, feeling utterly chilled.
"Impossible! Below the Legendary level, who could withstand such an attack?" Topaz Dragon Wesker flapped his wings in disbelief, the Gold Dragon's face was also extremely ugly, and Yarwei's face was gloomy on the surface, but a strange light flashed deep in her eyes.
"Again, unleash all your Life Essence! Success or failure hinges on this one strike!"
Gold Dragon Chris roared, his dragon's cry echoing throughout the air. He knew this was his last chance.
As the words fell, a blazing fire of gold and red mingled on the massive body of the Gold Dragon. This was the fire of life, brilliant and dazzling, carrying the last glow of a True Dragon on its last legs.
Topaz Dragon was far less decisive than Gold Dragon. After struggling for a while, he still did not ignite his Life Essence.
Yarwei is even less likely to self-immolate; she's not wholeheartedly siding with the Gold Dragon.
Gold Dragon felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of his companion Topaz Dragon's behavior. It was utterly foolish that they couldn't unite at this crucial moment.
Sure enough, the selfishness of this True Dragon clan is ingrained in their very bones; he shouldn't have come to help this guy.
As for the Dark Elf, the Gold Dragon didn't find anything wrong with it.
They've only just joined your cause; if you were to open your mouth and immediately start a fight to the death, something would seem amiss.
And so, the Gold Dragon burned its Life Essence, and its combat power level soared to almost the pinnacle that could be reached below the Legendary level.
Together with Topaz Dragon and the Dark Elf, they launched another attack on Stone Mountain.
This attack is 30-40% stronger than before.
Melier's expression also turned serious. After a moment's thought, she activated the equipment effect of another Giant Mountain Mecha.
[Earth's Wrath] Active - When this ability is activated, the mech's performance will be overloaded, losing 1 point of durability per second, gaining 50% increased earth affinity, 150% increased overall defense, and immunity to armor-piercing, shockwave, and other special attack damage.
Boom!!
Like the roar of a massive earthquake inside the mech, after the Earth's Wrath was activated, Melier felt as if what he was wearing was no longer just a simple mech, but the vast and boundless earth itself.
An unprecedentedly bright light shone from the mech's outer armor, a teeth-grinding clicking sound echoed in the air, and a torrent of information in red text flooded the control panel...
All of these factors ultimately translate into a significant increase in the defensive capabilities of the rocky mountain.
Even if Legendary- level attack hits Shishan head-on, it can withstand several blows now.
The torrent of attacks from Gold Dragon's side came in a mighty torrent, but it was like a huge wave crashing against a reef, only splashing some water and having no effect whatsoever.
Upon seeing the scene before him, Gold Dragon Chris's eyes turned pale, and then he glared angrily at Topaz Dragon, who shrank back.
As for Yarwei, she quietly retreated, raised her elven longbow, nocked an arrow, and shot it across the sky towards the extremely weakened Gold Dragon Chris, who was burning his Life Essence!
