Chapter 2739: Unbreakable City? (Fifth Update)

Two consecutive prompts appeared, which made Su Xiao somewhat surprised. He wasn't surprised by the speed at which the Gray Gentleman and the Moon Apostle obtained war merit, but where they obtained the war merit.

Last night, Su Xiao asked Grand Lord Arcadia about the casualties of their own Gray Orcs recently.

The pressure on the border defense line was increasing. After reading the war report given by Grand Lord Arcadia, Su Xiao felt something was wrong. This number of casualties was not enough to fill the war merit obtained by the Gray Gentleman and the Moon Apostle.

According to the amount of war merit obtained by those two, the sum of them should be indirectly killing hundreds of thousands of Gray Orc soldiers. But the recent reduction in their own casualties was only about 70,000.

Su Xiao checked the war merit leaderboard, and a list appeared.

【Prestige ranking has been refreshed, current ranking is as follows:】

First place: Gray Gentleman (Reincarnation Paradise), 235,000 war merit points.

Second place: Moon Apostle (Apocalypse Paradise), 234,700 war merit points.

Third place: White Night (Reincarnation Paradise), 229,600 war merit points.

Fourth place: Flame Master (Sanctuary Paradise), 18,166 war merit points.

Fifth place: Gulu (Reincarnation Paradise), 12,200 war merit points.

Sixth place: Mu Xiao (Holy Light Paradise), 4,190 war merit points.

Seventh place: Huang Hai (Watchman Paradise), 875 war merit points.

From top to bottom, reaching the fourth place, it could be said that the style changed drastically, directly changing from six digits to five digits.

Flame Master hadn't obtained 20,000 war merit points yet, while Su Xiao, the Gray Gentleman, and the Moon Apostle were all heading toward the 300,000 mark. As for the seventh-place Huang Hai, his 875 war merit points—saying he was hiding in a corner shivering wasn't an exaggeration.

The enemies of the Six-Race Alliance were only the Chaos Legion. Killing the soldiers of the Chaos Legion should be the most effective way to obtain war merit, at least according to the intelligence Su Xiao had at the current stage.

The Gray Gentleman and the Moon Apostle clearly hadn't killed too many Gray Orcs; otherwise, the reduction of hundreds of thousands of Gray Orc soldiers would have been enough to cause their own defense line to collapse.

This was where Su Xiao was puzzled: where did those two obtain the war merit?

Actually, the Moon Apostle, who was located somewhere, was also puzzled about where Su Xiao got these 200,000+ war merit points. She and the Gray Gentleman were both using some special methods to kill enemies in a certain place to obtain war merit. At the current stage, killing enemies "over there" had nearly 6 times the war merit acquisition volume.

In a canyon in the central part of the war zone, explosions continued non-stop. In the flames, a man with a mask on the lower half of his face was lost in thought. He was Flame Master, currently fourth on the war merit leaderboard.

The flames dissipated beside Flame Master. He opened the war merit list again. After seeing the war merit acquisition volume of the top three, veins bulged on his forehead.

"F*** the war merit ranking."

Flame Master spat out vulgarities, his expression gloomy as water. His mentality had collapsed at this moment. He had been fighting on the battlefield for several days, hadn't even slept, and drank water only when he had time, then stuffed a few pieces of compressed biscuits into his mouth, which counted as a meal.

Even so, the gap between him and the third place was a full 234 points, a war merit gap of more than ten times.

"Origin Stones are also good, very good."

While Flame Master was speaking, he pressed one hand on the ground. With a boom, a large explosion appeared in the canyon, and the Gray Orcs screamed and struggled in the flames, eventually being burned to charcoal.

On the southern side of the war zone, Moon Fortress, this was one of the fortresses blocking the Southern War Zone and the Elven Forest. Moonlight had extraordinary significance to the Elves, and the importance of the fortress named after it could be imagined.

The total garrison of Moon Fortress was over 300,000, and more than 60,000 Elven civilians lived inside. It was guarded by Elven Elder Ruth.

Unlike the dead Elven Prince Valen, Elven Elder Ruth's status in the Elven Forest was second only to the Elven Queen, and he was one of the few power-holders in the Elves' second tier.

The scorching sun shone into Moon Fortress. The city walls of the entire fortress revealed a faint silvery-white color. 109 spell imprints were added to the city walls of this fortress. In order to get these 109 spell imprints, the Elves paid a great price to the Duoyin Empire, and the return was also great. Since the Dark Monarch Agamemnon and the War Demon were sealed, this fortress had never been shaken.

Among the Elves, this place was called the Unmoving City, representing that it could never be broken.

Elven Elder Ruth stood on the city wall of the fortress. The breeze was gentle. Although he was already old, one could see from his eyebrows that he had a handsome appearance when he was young.

"Lord Ruth, the Brown Plum Wine you wanted."

An Elven maid carried a tray, and the metal wine glass on it was emitting wisps of cold air. Being able to drink iced fruit wine in midsummer was a very luxurious thing in this era.

"Hmm."

Elven Elder Ruth picked up the Brown Plum Wine, took a small sip, and looked at an Elf with a strong bow on his back and a serious expression beside him.

"Alog, what do you think would happen if the War Demon came to attack Moon Fortress?"

Elven Elder Ruth spoke, and the Spirit Warrior Alog beside him shook his head.

"Are you saying we can't hold it?"

Elven Elder Ruth's gaze showed a little displeasure, but Alog shook his head again.

"Lord Ruth, as long as it is a person with a sound mind, they will not come to attack the Unmoving City."

Alog's expression was serious. He wasn't flattering; he seemed to be stating a fact.

"Hahahaha, Alog, a serious person like you would actually say such things."

The clean-shaven Elven Elder Ruth laughed. He liked chatting with Alog very much; the other party could say what he liked to hear most in the most serious tone.

"My lord, this has nothing to do with my character. I have been stationed at the Unmoving City for 15 years. She will not be broken. If the War Demon comes personally, his legend will be ended here. His era has already passed."

Alog lowered his head slightly to show his respect for Ruth.

"That is indeed the case. Duoyin's spell imprints are too powerful. This is not a good thing. We must guard against..."

Elven Elder Ruth's words stopped halfway.

"Alog, your eyesight is better, look at what that is?"

Ruth looked into the distance, his eyes full of doubt. Alog looked over when he heard this, and after just a moment of staring, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

"My lord, that seems... to be a black dragon?"

"Black dragon?"

Ruth looked at Alog with a strange gaze. There were no real dragons on the Canglong Continent. As for the Canglong, it was only from legends.

"My lord, I am sure, it is the same as the dragon species in the legend. Look, it's closer, it seems... there is also cavalry charging over. Enemy attack!"

Alog shouted, and a few seconds later, a few signal flares rose into the sky.

"Roar!!"

The dragon roar came, and below, it was a scene of ten thousand troops running. As the large army charged over, a large expanse of smoke and dust appeared behind.

Bang, bang, bang...

Bowstrings vibrated, and Elven warriors located above the city wall drew their bows and shot arrows. A black rain of arrows attacked the Demon Flame Dragon Barbados.

Su Xiao stood on Barbados's back. Because of the high-speed flight, the gale blew up the black feather cloak behind him.

With a whoosh, Barbados spat out dragon flames. With the scorching of the dragon flames, the incoming rain of arrows all turned into charcoal and molten iron, flying past Su Xiao.

The first round of volley had just ended, and the second round of volley came. Arrows nailed into Barbados's abdomen. This feeling was like nailing a large patch of toothpicks onto its chest and abdomen, and they were nailed very shallowly, looking like they were about to fall off.

Barbados was somewhat angry at being shot. Under Su Xiao's mental command, Barbados tilted its head slightly, accumulated dragon flames, and spat toward the city wall.

Barbados's dragon flames were no joke. It had three abilities, all of which were upgrading the dragon flames.

Skill 4, Dragon Flame (Active, lv. 70): Can spit dragon flames by consuming biological energy. The damage intensity will be determined by the consumed biological energy and the enemy's stamina attribute, causing 7 times or more damage to building-type units.

Prompt: If burned by this dragon flame for more than 2 seconds, it will suffer an internal continuous burning effect, causing 5.7% of lost health as ignore-defense damage per second. The burning effect lasts for 10 seconds.

Skill 5, Demon Dragon Flame (Passive): Dragon flame damage rank +1.

Skill 6, Life Burning (Passive): If the enemy suffers the burning of dragon flames, the received healing effect is reduced by 67%. After leaving the dragon flame range, this effect will last for 23–70 seconds.

With a whoosh, the dragon flames spat onto the city wall. The flames hit the stone surface, and while spreading to the surroundings, they exploded and burned, crackling. As Barbados flapped its dragon wings and flew to the side, the dragon flames in its mouth began to move horizontally on the city wall, burning every inch.

Miserable screams spread on the city wall. Elves were wailing in the flames. Because the temperature of the dragon flames was too terrifying, they even appeared to explode in the flames.

At this moment, 540,000 Wolf Cavalry had already charged to below the city wall. They immediately dispersed, bypassed the fortress from both sides, and eventually completely surrounded the fortress.

With the help of dragon flames to suppress the Elves on the city wall, Dire Wolves leaped up, their sharp claws extended, and they began to climb the city wall. The Gray Orcs behind them pulled out two hook blades from their waists. The lower bodies of the Gray Orcs were already fixed to the saddle armor on the backs of the Dire Wolves. This was prepared for climbing the city wall.

The Dire Wolves used their sharp claws to climb, while the Gray Orcs on their backs used the hook blades in their hands to hook the rock crevices on the city wall, assisting the Dire Wolves in climbing the city wall.

A scene that made the Elves despair appeared: the Wolf Cavalry almost ignored the city wall and climbed up from all directions, leaving no escape route for the enemy.

The Unmoving City, Moon Fortress, 57 seconds after the war started, the frontal defense was broken. ===== CHAPTER 2740 =====
