Chapter 853 Tianyuan Army Arrives (4K)_2
The Lord of Red Mountain City had already been purchasing a large amount of raw materials, manufacturing a plethora of potions, supplies, and munitions within his city.
His modest Red Mountain City naturally couldn't supply the vast warzone, but even so, he was set to make a fortune.
He would have the opportunity to acquire high-order troops, hone his own soldiers, and obtain a wealth of resource treasures. The entire Red Mountain City could seize this chance to leap like a fish over the dragon gate.
The Lord of Red Mountain City felt that quite a few of his peer lords were looking at him with eyes tinged with envy and jealousy.
Gazing into the distance, the Lord of Red Mountain City said, "This is the war to defend our homes, with no retreat. We only have everything if we hold out; otherwise, we will have nothing at all."
He busied himself within the city, assisting with the allocation and transportation of materials.
He was a senior logistics officer within the warzone.
Meanwhile, at command headquarters.
About a dozen strong characters looked at the projection map in front of them and frowned slightly.
Among these strong individuals was the 5-star Frontier Lord 'Green Mountain', whose legion was currently the most powerful in the Shattered Isles Warzone.
There was Sword Saint Tianhe, representing the Pan Shi City legion as well as the will of Lord Pan Shi.
There was Lake Mountain Dean, representing the reinforcements from Tianze City.
There was Elder Qin from the Logistics Development Department. Elder Qin, who usually stayed in the Twilight Dominion, had personally come to Red Mountain City this time.
There were also Feiyan, Dragon Sky, Jiang Cheng, and several other Frontier Lords.
"The situation looks rather grim."
Lord Green Mountain spoke, "We didn't expect that the Vanguard Army from Dragon Sleep Valley would set up their main base not far across the passage... With this, we have absolutely no strategic space. As soon as we enter the Shattered Isles, we will be forcefully encircled by the enemy, not to mention establishing a foothold."
Battlefields hinge on environment and home field advantage.
Usually, when they confronted a first-rate overlord like Dragon Sleep Valley, they always had the home field advantage.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The warzone could resist the encroachment of the Red Mist, weaken the enemy, and strengthen our side.
This time, however, the enemy firmly held the home field advantage.
In the thick Red Mist, the Soul Realm powerhouses from Dragon Sleep Valley could even descend one after another, yet they suffered greatly from the erosion of the Red Mist. What were they to use to resist?
They couldn't even cross the enemy's line to penetrate deeper into the Shattered Isles Domain.
Minister Qin said, "We were caught off guard this time. The pressing matter is to hold the defensive perimeter around the void, to prevent the filth from further encroaching into our Taixuan heartland."
As soon as he finished speaking, a communications officer responsible for maintaining contact with the front lines spoke out in a panic at a corner of the headquarters.
"Dra, Dragons from Dragon Sleep Valley are attacking! Two of our frontline camps have been destroyed, and a Monster Tide is surging out!"
The strong characters present changed their expressions slightly.
Lord Green Mountain closed his eyes, and upon opening them, he was already at the Void Defense Line.
He descended into the body he had long prepared for himself.
A giant with a grayish-green body covered with countless plants and trees slowly stood up. His gaze swept the area; it was decisive, sharp, and with one punch, he struck out.
The ground split open, and numerous plants, like ground spikes, sprouted from the earth, forming a long line of thorny wilderness that stretched for kilometers.
Lord Green Mountain continued to unleash his punches.
With punch after punch, he ferociously slaughtered the monsters. With the cooperation of the other strong characters, they quickly repelled the attack from Dragon Sleep Valley.
But,
"Two garrison sites have been destroyed, many elites have been wounded or killed in battle, and what's more, a Dragon Sleep Valley commando team has breached our defenses and entered our Taixuan Domain."
A commander reported.
Recalling the situation, Lord Green Mountain remembered seeing several Crimson Dragons flying southward. The battlefield was too chaotic at the time, the enemy too distant for him to intervene.
Back at headquarters.
Minister Qin said, "We must annihilate those Crimson Dragons!"
This was after all not a Great War Zone set far from the borders. It was right within the Alliance's territory.
Otherwise, why would the alliance construct the warzone at the forefront, setting up a base on an island domain opposite the Shattered Isles, if not for having some room for error?
But now there was none.
A few Crimson Dragons and a group of high-order monsters could easily obliterate many towns and even small city domains within the Alliance Territory.
Elder Qin mounted the Wings of the Wind King and flew out swiftly.
Lord Green Mountain also soared into the sky.
But suddenly, the front line reported another round of urgent combat situations, a new assault from Dragon Sleep Valley.
Lord Green Mountain stood high up, looking around, caught in hesitation.
Minister Qin said, "You are to take charge of the defense. Xiaolong, Xiao Jiang, and a few others will pursue them."
Lord Green Mountain: "Yes!"
Suddenly, his objectives became clear.
The few people mentioned by Minister Qin were those with flying mounts.
Even if they were merely Fourth-order Peak flying mounts, flying at full strength was faster than a Legendary Realm character simply harnessing the Power of Heaven and Earth.
Elder Qin's Wings of the Wind King was known for its unrivaled legendary speed.
He quickly caught up to the Dragon Sleep Valley raiding squad.
Far off, a large group of flying monsters, led by four robust Crimson Dragons with deep red to almost black bodies, were at the forefront.
"Shadow Dragons."
"Skilled in stealth and swift escape,"
Minister Qin, with his broad experience, recognized them immediately, even though these transformed Crimson Dragons differed somewhat in form from the actual Giant Dragons.
He intercepted them with great speed.
But the four Shadow Dragons had no intention of engaging with him.
Flying monsters scattered in all directions; these were all Fourth-order Boss-level creatures with intelligence. Three Shadow Dragons slipped into the shadows and swiftly departed, their figures and auras quickly fading.
The Wings of the Wind King whipped up a storm.
A teal tempest filled the skies and the earth, slaughtering many Fourth-order Monsters in an instant and forcing the Shadow Dragons to dodge left and right, drawing them out of the shadow mist.
However, at that moment, the remaining Shadow Dragon spread out its Domain, creating a vast shadowy spiderweb realm that enveloped everything below.
Minister Qin struggled momentarily, unable to break free.
After all, it was an Epic Dragon, desperately blocking their way.
The Wings of the Wind King were also of epic status, just a bit stronger.
"You go after the other three dragons!"
By this time, Lord Long Tian, Lord Feiyan, and Jiang City Lord arrived one after another.
The fastest among them was Lord Long Tian, who rode the Legendary Realm Molten Steel Wyrm.
In his hand, he held a Blazing Longspear.
The spear shot out, nailing it to the distant space.
A wall of flames, spanning a thousand meters, was thus formed.
The Shadow Dragon, aflame, turned back with a sinister gaze.
Its form vanished suddenly, reappearing next to the Molten Steel Wyrm as a crescent-shaped blade of shadow emerged.
"Puchi―"
The dragon scales shattered, the wound reaching the bone.
The Molten Steel Wyrm howled in pain, unable to maintain flight, and fell from midair.
Lord Long Tian: "Damn!"
He's crashed again!
"These Shadow Dragons are no joke!"
The reason Dragon Sleep Valley could rank among the top dominions was that all members of their direct lineage were of Legendary status.
There were no weaklings in the Legendary Realm of Dragon Sleep Valley.
And these Shadow Dragons seemed to be more than just ordinary dragons serving as Combat Power units.
Lord Feiyan and the leader of Jiang City soon realized the enemy was tough to handle.
They simply lacked the power to intercept.
Jiang City's leader, a newly emerged legend, wouldn't have lasted long if the Shadow Dragons weren't so intent on fleeing.
"There seem to be reinforcements coming,"
In the distance, at the horizon's edge, a small squad was making haste.
In the middle of the squad, eight fierce ghosts with green faces and fangs, massive and gruesome, carried a palanquin. On it lay a figure, languid in red robes and dress, as vibrant as blood.
Suddenly,
"More work to do?"
"Minions, it's time for you to exert yourselves."
Hong Yi glanced at the two Shadow Dragons flying away on her left and right.
She merely opened the Underworld Ghost Market.
Dark fog swirled, and in the blink of an eye, ten thousand meters seemed to turn into a forbidding domain of the Ghost Market. She directly drew the two Shadow Dragons into it.
Within the Ghost Market, shop doors swung wide; droves of spirits surged out, shrieking, roaring, drooling with anticipation.
Although she could use the Eye of Reincarnation to instantly kill a Shadow Dragon, that would be so tiring, and why would she keep so many little ghosts if not to use them? Find your next read on empire
Meanwhile,
The battlefield near the Void Defense Line was intense.
The Green Mountain Lord, transformed into a grey giant, had reached the breach in the defense line, the devastated camp's location, and was staunchly blocking the influx of the Monster Tide.
But the number of monsters was overwhelming, with Legendary Realm creatures and Crimson Dragons attacking incessantly.
Camp four.
The defenses were on the verge of collapse, with several High-order Professionals cutting down monsters but looking deathly pale.
Suddenly, an arrow flew in, followed by dozens, then hundreds more, raining down like a deluge and piercing the hearts and heads of the monsters with deadly precision.
But compared to the wave of monsters, this assault was still a drop in the ocean.
In the next moment,
The sky darkened as day turned to night; amidst the night, a brilliant starry sky appeared. Suddenly, a vast expanse of stars.
Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of meteors fell from this starry sky.
The Tianyuan forces had arrived.
