With its strength, the Golden Earth Dragon was absolutely unable to withstand the impact of so many warriors. With so many mages behind them, after a few rounds of simultaneous magical barrages, the Golden Earth Dragon was nearly finished.
Although the Golden Earth Dragon was extremely powerful, it couldn’t defy the heavens.
The Golden Earth Dragon released a blast of dragon breath, turning five or six warriors into ashes.
With a loud thud, over a dozen warriors slammed into the Golden Earth Dragon’s body.
Counterattack Storm!
A whirlwind erupted around the Golden Earth Dragon, sweeping away a group of warriors.
“Hold steady, everyone!” Soda Water, the warrior, shouted sternly. He struck the Golden Earth Dragon with a shield bash, forcing it back a few steps.
Earlier, at the guild headquarters, their numbers had been too few to stand against the Golden Earth Dragon. Soda Water and some players had barely escaped. Now, with so many comrades coming to reinforce, he dared to confront the Golden Earth Dragon head-on.
After Soda Water and his team held off the Golden Earth Dragon, the situation stabilized. It would take at most two more minutes to defeat the Golden Earth Dragon.
“Everyone, search! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find the mad bandit Nie Yan and his gang!” Kuangfa’s expression was somewhat twisted. He hated Kuangzei Naiyan with a passion, wishing to flay him alive and rip his tendons out.
Upon Kuangfa’s command, tens of thousands of players from the Mage Alliance completely sealed off the nearby area, inspecting every location one by one.
The area was filled with players from the Mage Alliance. Naiyan evaded their pursuit and climbed onto a platform about thirty yards high beside the plaza.
The news of the attack on Eddington Fortress spread rapidly like wildfire. Players on the forums were discussing the incident extensively.
“Kuangzei Naiyan is truly a formidable figure, daring to attack Eddington Fortress, the Mage Alliance’s stronghold. I wonder how the battle turned out.”
“I heard only five players from the Cow Cow Tribe have already killed over six hundred from the Mage Alliance. That’s brutal.”
Someone uploaded online a video of the Golden Earth Dragon’s massacre inside Eddington Fortress. All the players who watched the video were speechless—the Golden Earth Dragon was so powerful! Pets had already become widespread among players, and research into pets had gradually deepened. Many players had developed some fairly strong pets, with some tank-type pets even reaching nearly ten thousand health points. However, these pets still couldn’t compare to the Golden Earth Dragon. The Golden Earth Dragon was simply a monstrous existence!
After the Golden Earth Dragon gained fame, the Zhushen’s Sword Guild searched extensively and, after great effort, found a Golden Earth Dragon hatchling. However, no matter how they raised it, their Golden Earth Dragon could never reach the level of Naiyan’s Golden Earth Dragon. The two were simply not in the same league. This almost drove Zhushen’s Sword Guild leader to smash the hatchling. It had cost them the loss of over five to six thousand player deaths to obtain it!
The melee battle inside Eddington Fortress attracted massive attention. Many people on the official website were watching the live video feed, eager to know the final outcome of this war.
“The Golden Earth Dragon can’t hold on much longer; it probably can only reach this level,” many players lamented.
The Golden Earth Dragon was indeed powerful, but it couldn’t resist the continuous onslaught from so many players of the Mage Alliance.
The main street of Eddington Fortress was already littered with player corpses, as far as the eye could see, densely packed.
The warriors of the Mage Alliance led by Soda Water kept charging forward, pushing the Golden Earth Dragon further and further back. When those in front were eliminated by the Counterattack Storm, others immediately stepped in. The magical attacks from behind never ceased, with concentrated spells exploding on the Golden Earth Dragon’s body. The Golden Earth Dragon was down to just over 100,000 health points and could hold on for a while longer, but it was about to perish.
“Naiyan Brother, the Golden Earth Dragon is almost out of health,” Sun anxiously said in the party chat.
“No worries,” Naiyan smiled, already confident of victory. From the high platform, he could oversee the entire battlefield.
When the timing seemed right, Naiyan chanted an incantation—the summoning spell for the Darkwinged Dragon.
The players of the Mage Alliance below saw that the Golden Earth Dragon’s health was critically low, and excitement surged among them.
“Everyone, speed it up!”
“The Golden Earth Dragon is about to fall!” Soda Water roared, his great sword slashing repeatedly at the Golden Earth Dragon.
Critical Strike! Critical Strike!
One “Miss” after another floated above the Golden Earth Dragon’s head. The Golden Earth Dragon’s evasion was too high. Soda Water’s critical strikes kept failing, and several attempts were interrupted by the Counterattack Storm. The Golden Earth Dragon’s combat power was truly astonishing. What particularly frustrated Soda Water was that the Golden Earth Dragon’s Counterattack Storm skill was an abnormally powerful ability. This violent attack never really stopped and was a chaotic, high-damage offensive.
What Soda Water and the others didn’t know was that the Golden Earth Dragon’s Counterattack Storm had a certain probability of triggering when attacked. Normally, it wasn’t particularly strong because the trigger probability was too low. However, with so many warriors from the Mage Alliance surrounding the Golden Earth Dragon and attacking at a high frequency, the Counterattack Storm became terrifying under such circumstances. Nearly three hundred warriors were instantly killed by the Counterattack Storm.
The best way to deal with Naiyan’s Golden Earth Dragon was to have warriors tank it while switching to a defensive stance without attacking it, then have mages use dark magic to attack it.
Soda Water and his team’s lack of understanding of the Golden Earth Dragon led to such heavy losses.
Just as everyone thought they were about to succeed, a deep dragon roar echoed out, like a tsunami, causing the entire Eddington Fortress to tremble slightly.
A massive shadow descended from the sky, as if night had suddenly fallen.
“What’s happening!”
It was as if a hurricane had passed through; the players below could barely stand upright. They struggled to look up and saw a massive winged dragon appear in their field of vision.
It was the Darkwinged Dragon!
Most of the Mage Alliance players had already seen the video of the Death Realm and were awed by the Darkwinged Dragon’s might, but they still lacked a concrete understanding, after all, it was just a video. But now, they had truly witnessed the Darkwinged Dragon’s power. With a wingspan of over ten yards, when it spread its wings, it blocked out the sunlight. The area’s high building density restricted the Darkwinged Dragon’s movement somewhat. Its flapping wings struck nearby towers, causing a tower to collapse. Huge stones rained down, landing among the crowd, instantly killing dozens of players.
The Darkwinged Dragon circled in the sky for a moment, as if showing off its might, then suddenly dove downward.
“Everyone, scatter quickly!”
“Quickly get to the archery towers and shoot it down with ballistae!”
The players below panicked, scattering in all directions. The Darkwinged Dragon was simply too overwhelming. Watching it dive from the sky, the players had no will to resist. The power gap was too great; their resistance was futile! Only war machines like ballistae could be effective against the Darkwinged Dragon!
The Darkwinged Dragon dove down, instantly wiping out a large group of players.
A massacre began anew, with another five to six hundred Mage Alliance players falling in pools of blood. Many fled into narrow alleys, finally finding some safety.
The situation was completely out of control. The Darkwinged Dragon’s sudden attack threw the Mage Alliance into chaos, and they couldn’t organize any effective resistance.
Seeing the Darkwinged Dragon’s rampant destruction, Kuangfa couldn’t help but curse, then ran toward the distance while directing players to climb the towers. Suddenly, two figures appeared beside Kuangfa—Sun and King World.
Sun and King World had been watching Kuangfa for a long time. They had been hiding separately, without communication, yet simultaneously launched their attacks.
Before Kuangfa could react, a figure blurred past him. His forehead and the back of his head were struck in succession, sending him into a stunned state before he was instantly killed. Sun and King World moved too fast, flanking him from both sides, giving him no time to react at all.
Kuangfa had died once again.
The warriors in the front who had been fighting the Golden Earth Dragon noticed the absence of magical support from behind and immediately panicked. The Darkwinged Dragon had scattered the entire mage force, with over a hundred players lying dead on the ground. The remaining mages either fled or dispersed.
As these warriors were about to retreat, Soda Water shouted, “No retreat! First, kill the Golden Earth Dragon! Damn it, get back here!”
Soda Water understood that if they fled backward, they would become the Golden Earth Dragon’s targets, and all their previous efforts would be in vain. The Golden Earth Dragon’s health was nearly depleted; they still had a chance!
Counterattack Storm! Counterattack Storm!
The Golden Earth Dragon swept away another five or six warriors. Around its body, the ground was already piled with warriors’ corpses.
The Golden Earth Dragon’s fierce counterattacks chilled the warriors’ hearts. Without the mages’ support from behind, their attack output was too low. The Golden Earth Dragon’s health was dropping very slowly. To finish off the Golden Earth Dragon, they might still need to sacrifice another fifty to sixty warriors.
“Soda Leader, let’s retreat. the Darkwinged Dragon is coming!” a nearby warrior shouted. They had already lost the will to fight, distracted during their attacks, causing even less damage to the Golden Earth Dragon.
Seeing the Darkwinged Dragon dive down, Naiyan leaped from the high platform, landing on a rooftop about thirty yards away from the Golden Earth Dragon, and began chanting a spell to recall the Golden Earth Dragon. The Golden Earth Dragon’s health was nearly depleted, having already fulfilled its purpose.
Players from the Mage Alliance gradually climbed onto the archery towers, sealing off the airspace of Eddington Fortress. However, the range of the tower-mounted ballistae was limited and couldn’t target the Darkwinged Dragon or the Golden Earth Dragon.
“Boss, hurry up and recall the Darkwinged Dragon and the Golden Earth Dragon. The Mage Alliance has brought in catapults,” Froghopper anxiously shouted from a distance.
At the far end of the street, three armored catapults were slowly advancing, with swarms of players guarding them.
After Kuangfa’s death, he used voice chat to command his subordinates. He was furious and determined not to give up until the Darkwinged Dragon and the Golden Earth Dragon were destroyed. He had deployed the armored catapults, which were dangerous to use inside the fortress because their area attacks could completely destroy surrounding buildings. Kuangfa was now nearly insane.
“Damn it, you think the Darkwinged Dragon is so impressive? I don’t believe it can withstand the armored catapults!” Kuangfa screamed hysterically.
