Chapter 504 - 509: The Battle of Gale City
Gale City is the most important city in the western Desert Province.
If the Dragon Ridge Legion wants to break through the Desert Province in the shortest time, they must launch the first large-scale battle at Gale City, because only by capturing a city like Gale City can they provide an advancement base for the main force, thereby quickly encroaching and spreading throughout the whole province.
The same goes for the Desert Province wanting to resist external threats.
They can only defend Gale City to prevent the city from being occupied.
Gale City has gathered eighty to ninety thousand troops, over half of whom are around level 15 soldiers, which are considered elite within the province.
Of course.
These soldiers may be elite to the Desert Province.
But to the Dragon Ridge Legion, they are merely mediocre trash.
The vanguard of the Dragon Ridge Legion that first arrived in the Desert Province, at a minimum, starts from level 16, with even quite a few advanced soldiers at level 17 and 18, as well as hundreds to thousands of soldiers with the strength of lords.
So don’t judge the Dragon Ridge Legion by its numbers; they are enough to be one against two, even one against three or four, making it very difficult for Gale City to block this round of attack.
"Prepare for battle!"
Xu Tianhua shouted orders loudly.
The Wilderness Soldiers were already spread throughout Gale City, with a very diverse array, including melee, ranged, healing, support, mage, and defense. Every position was carefully arranged to allow the troops to exert their strongest combat power.
Besides the regular soldiers.
Gale City has an unconventional unit.
This unit numbers over five thousand, composed entirely of humans. Such a large number of intelligent species is equivalent to the total number of intelligent species in a province in other regions.
Although these humans are generally not strong, most of them are just at ordinary soldier level, all major teams have made significant investments to fight this battle well, carrying a large amount of recovery potions, skill scrolls, transformation magical potions, magic-guided weapons, etc., which are important secret weapons in this battle!
"The enemy is approaching!"
"First and second artillery teams ready!"
The human team aimed four to five hundred level 15 magic-guided cannons at the enemy. As Xu Tianhua gave orders and the enemy approached, they fired simultaneously, and in an instant, the sky was filled with cannon fire, with hundreds of shells shooting toward the enemy within a thousand meters.
Slaughter Dragon General Spitz and Hurricane Dragon General Balute watched.
They had learned from intelligence gathered in advance that the humans of the Desert Province were equipped with very powerful magic-guided armaments, and over time, the amount of magic-guided equipment was increasing, becoming a threat not to be underestimated.
Seeing now.
The intelligence was indeed true.
The exaggerated four to five hundred green-quality, level 15 heavy magic-guided cannons alone pose a huge threat to ordinary troops. After several rounds of artillery bombardment, significant casualties and chaos in the ranks are inevitable.
So even before melee engagement.
One side has already fallen into a passive state.
But unfortunately.
The Desert Allied Army is now facing not an ordinary Great Lord’s army, but the powerful Dragon Ridge Legion, and two battle-hardened Dragon Generals. A few artillery teams are far from enough!
"Activate the barrier!"
Slaughter Dragon General Spitz commanded.
Each phalanx center of the Dragon Ridge Legion lit up.
If you look closely, you’ll find that these glowing objects are mobile magic-guided puppets. These magic-guided puppets have humanoid appearances, each five to six meters tall, covered in black and densely packed with arrays.
They release a layer of blue transparent shield from their bodies, enveloping and protecting their phalanx, and as they continuously move forward, the defense shield moves along, always providing protection to the legion.
This is a kind of war barrier demonic puppet.
Also a creation based on alchemy and magic-guidance.
They can move autonomously, filled with powerful energy, and at critical moments, release barriers or other abilities to protect surrounding troops and support combat.
Meanwhile.
The front-line legion commanders.
Took out prepared skill scrolls.
Each one is a blue-quality skill scroll, all releasing defense skills, further forming strong defense layers, stubbornly blocking all incoming waves of cannon fire.
With successive frenzied bombings.
The ground shook and the sky darkened.
The Dragon Ridge Legion stood firm like a rock amid the waves, un-moved and unharmed, continuing to advance toward Gale City with determination and speed, leaving one feeling an internal sense of awe.
Under the broadcast of several battlefield reporters.
This scene was transmitted to the present world.
The entire globe was shocked by the strength of this legion!
The Desert Province used green-quality level 15 heavy cannons, yet hundreds of uninterrupted bombardments didn’t cause any significant damage to this unit!
Their defense is exceptionally strong.
Hurricane Dragon General Balute flew into the sky.
Endless green wind attribute energy gathered behind him from all directions.
Seemingly slow but actually rapidly forming into a large storm.
Zhao Ming was startled: "What skill is this? Judging by its power, it can’t possibly be a fourth-tier skill!"
Nazg said: "One of Balute’s fourth-tier inheritances is the Hurricane Commander, which is also why he is known as the Hurricane Dragon General, and Hurricane Commander is a war-type inheritance. He can use the strength of the entire unit to gather and enhance skills!"
The reason the Three Great Dragon Generals of the Mad Dragon King are so famous.
Isn’t because any single Dragon General is particularly strong.
Their individual power is generally at the level of a Governor.
There are actually several similar experts in Dragon Ridge, and in terms of personal power ranking, the three of them may not necessarily be at the top, but they are the most skilled in leading troops into battle among Heska’s many subordinates.
Like a Warlord.
This kind of inheritance doesn’t show its power in a duel.
But placed on a large battlefield, its destructive power will far exceed the combined strength of eight or even ten Hurricane Dragon General Balute!
This is the value of a Dragon General!
The gale quickly blew away the fire and smoke on the battlefield!
Thousands of wind blades descended like a sudden rain, crazily striking the barrier of Gale City. Every attack landed with the sound of metal clanging, destroying almost all deployed defenses outside.
Never seen before, a terrifying skill that almost changes the terrain with one move!
And everyone inside Gale City could feel it.
The city’s barrier was being consumed at an alarming rate.
Yet the storm continued.
Almost showing no sign of stopping!
Slaughter Dragon General Spitz also made his move, releasing a large-scale skill that enshrouded the Dragon Ridge Legion’s vanguard, instantly activating the berserk capability in all the soldiers.
They became tireless, fearless, with greatly increased attack power, movement speed, and abnormal state, gaining life extraction and self-sustaining capabilities in battle!
The strength of the entire unit increased by at least 40-50%!
Under the storm’s cover, they began advancing toward Gale City!
If it weren’t for Sinos being absent, otherwise under such circumstances, Death Dragon General could cast an undead curse on the unit, turning every fallen soldier on the battlefield into undead to continue fighting, lasting several minutes, meaning each soldier had to be killed twice to be defeated.
This would make the unit even harder to contend with!
"We must quickly deal with the two Dragon Generals!" Nazg said with a heavy expression: "Slaughter Dragon General Spitz is mine, Hurricane Dragon General Balute is yours to deal with!"
Xu Tianhua, Zhao Ming responded without hesitation: "No problem!"
Zhao Ming then looked at someone: "Red Flame! Take action!"
One of Hang Yu’s favored ones, Red Sand Race intelligent species Red Flame, is also a war-type talent, possessing the same warlord inheritance as Kaliemlo!
"Force of Three Armies!"
Red Flame activated a skill.
This skill would weaken the attributes of the unengaged troops at the rear to drastically increase the all attributes of designated targets.
Nazg, Red Flame, Xu Tianhua, Zhao Ming, and other front-line commanders were each empowered by the Force of Three Armies, all feeling their all attributes increase by at least over a hundred points, plus the attribute bonus from Holy Professionals, their power was more than doubled in ordinary states!
"Let’s do it!"
The barrier of Gale City showed several loopholes under the ravaging storm, both sides formally clashed, and an intense war thus commenced!
