Chapter 503: Sieging the City
The Noble Allied Forces of the Auduin Kingdom deployed in an attack formation, with Magic Cannons arranged in a row, and several powerful Knights of Meteor level or above scattered in the front row to prevent the opponent's Magic Cannons from hitting their own positions; in the air, dozens of Griffin Knights were fluttering about, waiting for the order to charge.
The fully armed Jialete gripped the reins in his hands tightly; he seemed to see victory beckoning to him, and before long, he would return to Golden Feather City bearing the glory of washing away the shame of the Auduin Family.
Time passed slowly, and finally it was two o'clock in the afternoon; Jialete drew his longsword, purple Thunder Battle Qi surged into the sky, and he shouted loudly: "Launch the attack!"
A sound like a roaring tiger resounded across the entire battlefield, and the knights and soldiers let out angry roars one after another to boost their momentum.
Just then, a massive shadow swooped in from the rear, quickly crossing the battlefield and flying toward the ramparts of Miwu City.
The aura of the dragon spread, striking terror into the hearts of the enemy, yet making their own troops as excited as if they had been injected with stimulants.
Kaierluosi's huge wings blotted out the sky and sun, and Flame Breath gushed out, washing over the city wall below like magma poured from the heavens.
At this moment, a cyan-blue light curtain lit up above the city wall, propping up a barrier to resist the onslaught of the Flame Breath.
Luoning stood on the dragon's back and saw this scene clearly.
"It should be the Sighing Wall and Frost Barrier magic; they are actually a bit higher in level than the Magicians at Watchtower."
Kaierluosi's Flame Breath excels in its wide range, so its power is relatively weaker; being Level 6 Magic, it is indeed capable of defending against the impact of the flames.
"Fire an Ice Arrow and let them taste the flavor of ice spikes," he said.
"Very well, Master!"
Kaierluosi stopped breathing fire, its huge body turned flexibly in the air, and it dived back in.
Water elements condensed crazily in its mouth, and instantly a cone-shaped Ice Arrow a full ten meters long formed, shooting down from the sky at an ultra-high speed.
Boom!
A huge roaring sound rang out; the Ice Arrow broke through the defensive magic without any obstruction and slammed into the city wall, directly smashing a large gap into it.
At the same time, the fragments produced by the explosion of the Ice Arrow impacted in all directions, piercing the flesh and blood of the Guards like bullets, causing a swathe of casualties.
"A dragon... truly a sharp weapon for sieging!"
Jialete watched the scene before him; even he had to admit the power of the dragon.
Others had the same feeling; facing a dragon, unless one could directly attack its main body, one could only defend passively.
Yet the battlefield was always on the territory of the defending side, and a moment of carelessness would lead to huge losses caused by the dragon's destruction, while they, as the attacking side, had absolutely no such anxiety.
"Magic Cannons, prepare!"
Jialete shouted the order, and immediately the prepared Silver and Golden Knights began to inject Battle Qi into the Magic Cannons, starting a powerful bombardment.
The ramparts of Miwu City also lit up with light, though relatively speaking, it was much smaller than the Allied Forces' formation.
The roaring sound continued like rolling thunder; Luoning and Kaierluosi ascended to high altitude, and after the first wave ended, he could rest.
The opponent had arranged defenses, but the defensive force was not large; after four or five rounds of bombardment by the Noble Allied Forces, the top of the city wall was basically paralyzed.
And only two or three of the opponent's Magic Cannon shots landed in the Allied Forces' position, and the number of knights killed by the explosions was not large.
If the resistance was only to this degree, Miwu City was definitely going to fall.
Boom!
The bombardment lasted for several minutes, and with the last Magic Cannon shot exploding on the city wall, Jialete raised his longsword high, shouting for the charge; the knights, led by Ruidar, Yiben, and others, quickly crossed the battlefield and arrived beneath the city wall.
The city wall of Miwu City was a full thirty meters high, but Silver Moon Knights could soar into the air, so this height was not a problem at all.
As Ruidar and the others reached the top of the wall, the siege battle instantly became one-sided.
Before long, the city gate was opened, and the knights of the Noble Allied Forces charged in first.
"There are no Silver Moon Knights stationed here."
Luoning, who was observing the battle situation from the air, immediately felt something was wrong.
According to intelligence, besides Count Wulaer, Miwu City had two other Silver Moon Knights.
Now, facing the attack of the Noble Allied Forces, there was not a single Silver Moon Knight here.
Could it be that something had happened in the Tricia Kingdom again, such that even Wulaer, as a Border Count, had to abandon his territory and take his elite troops to support Dragon City?
Seeing that the Noble Allied Forces had already breached the city and were locked in combat with the Knight Order of Miwu City, Luoning did not continue to linger here, turned, and flew toward the West Gate.
Kaierluosi flapped its wings and began to dive, crossing thousands of meters in an instant.
Just at this moment, an extremely piercing sound of breaking air whistled over, causing Luoning's vigilance to rise sharply.
"Chi!"
A two-meter-long black spear shot up into the sky like an arrow, slamming into Kaierluosi's abdomen with considerable force.
Instantly, metal collided with Dragon Scale, emitting dazzling sparks and a harsh screeching sound.
Kaierluosi's massive body trembled, and it roared: "Master, someone is attacking me!"
"Ascend!"
Luoning commanded in a deep voice, while his Mental Power swept the area below; he actually sensed sixteen people shooting into the sky, flying toward him!
"What is this, sixteen Silver Moon Knights?"
"No, that's not right, the speed of Silver Moon Knights cannot be this fast!"
Luoning's heart sank; sure enough, Miwu City was not unprepared—what was this, luring them into a trap?
He no longer held the mindset of watching a show, immediately casting Light Body Technique and Speed on Kaierluosi to make it accelerate, while simultaneously inscribing complex Spell Patterns for Wind Shadow Art.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The piercing sound of breaking air came again; this time six spears came, and due to the close distance and high speed, combined with Kaierluosi's massive size, they all hit.
Although Kaierluosi's Dragon Scale was very sturdy, the spears of this group were clearly not of ordinary material; they actually penetrated the scales and drew dragon blood!
"Roar!"
Stimulated by the pain, the dragon unleashed its Flame Breath, which poured down toward the ground like an inverted river.
"Do you think mere flames can hurt me?"
A clear voice came from below; the Great General Aruba swept his longsword, actually slicing through the pouring flames, and he emerged right from the gap in the flames, finally arriving at a position level with Luoning.
At the same time, five more figures rushed up, surrounding Luoning and Kaierluosi.
Besides them, ten more people followed closely behind and caught up.
These people shared a common trait—they had huge fleshy wings on their backs, covered in dense, complex black patterns that looked extremely eerie and chilling.
This was the manifestation after receiving the baptism of the Storm Envoy; it allowed Knights with the Wind Attribute to sprout wings and master the ability to fly, and their flight speed was not slow at all.
This group of winged bird-men usually boasted of being the Heavenly God Clan, yet their appearance was disgusting.
"Heh, the lackeys of the Storm Envoy."
Luoning mocked, "I was wondering why no one was defending the city walls; so it turns out you were all lying in wait for me here!"
Aruba laughed, "Although Miwu City might fall, we can always take it back later. Compared to that, the matter of dragon-slaying cannot wait."
"Oh? Are you all that confident?"
"Luoning, there are only two paths before you: either hand over the dragon and kneel before us in submission, or be killed by us!"
Luoning gripped the Liuyan Sword, and intense flames erupted from it.
Whoosh!
He streaked across the sky like a Meteor, arriving before Aruba, and slashed down with his sword, causing the fire elements between heaven and earth to churn.
"I choose the third path: to defeat and kill you all right here!" (End of chapter)
