Chapter 1315 In the Mist
The quiet night sky is full of stars, and the bright moonlight falls on the earth, covering everything under the moonlight with a layer of silver-white, and also reflecting a towering mountain shrouded in mist, hazy and mysterious.
This is Wumeng Peak.
Although the moonlight is clear, it still cannot penetrate the fog here, making the entire area extremely unpredictable.
In the open space at the foot of Wumeng Peak, an invisible giant city hidden in the fog is as silent as a long-dormant beast, but the road ahead is still vast, full of unknowns and dangers.
Lei Xiao stood on the wall of Bingshi City, staring at the dense fog that was close at hand.
Although the dense fog within reach could not get close to here at all under the barrier of the absolute defense barrier, the vague feeling of not being able to see the road ahead still made people feel uneasy.
Lei Xiao retracted his sight and looked at the human soldiers around him who were waiting in full battle array.
Although these soldiers who followed him in the battles seemed to be in a strict formation and filled the entire city wall, he could still feel an uneasy atmosphere quietly spreading.
After all, most of the soldiers stationed in Bingshi City were still at the second level. As long as they walked out of the city, it would almost be equivalent to heading towards destruction.
"Your Majesty, I have left an elite dragon-breaking legion here. As long as the battle begins, it can disperse the fog over the city to the greatest extent, giving the city a certain air defense capability."
Broy, who was standing next to Lei Xiao, stepped forward and nodded, saying: "As for the other dwarf elf legions, they are all on standby at designated locations.
This time, the dwarf elves dispatched a total of 11 legions, including one quasi-fourth-level legion whose members are all above level three, but carrying alchemical puppets above level four, and 10 legions whose members and alchemical puppets are all at level three.
After hundreds of years of research, these legions all have the ability to disperse dragon mirages, and they can undoubtedly be responsible for dispersing dragon mirages in the surrounding areas while supporting other friendly forces.
However, Since most of the dwarf soldiers are strong physical warriors, their speed of movement in the mountains is relatively limited, and it is difficult to climb such a high peak in a short time, so most of them are on standby in the city, and after other friendly forces have established a defensive stronghold in the dragon cave, they will directly reach the battlefield through the portal.
With the daily collection, the number of teleportation cornerstones in Lei Xiao's hands is naturally increasing, enough to build a considerable number of teleportation portals for himself and his friendly forces to use.
It is worth mentioning that through Lei Xiao's research, further discoveries have been made.
As long as the teleportation cornerstone is not destroyed, the teleportation portal can be activated and deactivated at will, and it is not a one-time product. This undoubtedly reduces Lei Xiao's consumption to a great extent.
"Your Majesty, the wood fairy army is also fully prepared! "
Chris floated beside Lei Xiao and nodded heavily.
The wood elves dispatched a total of 15 legions, including 10 well-trained third-level legions and 5 newly promoted third-level legions selected from 10 reserve quasi-third-level legions. This is the strongest force that the wood elves can bring out.
Unlike the dwarf elves, the light and flying wood elves are naturally not afraid of high peaks, so all of them can attack.
"Your Majesty, the tree people are also ready to go. "
Shuerte stroked his gray beard, his hoarse voice full of fighting spirit.
Compared with the larger number of wood elves and dwarves, the fewer tree people dispatched a total of 2 fourth-level legions, including almost all the tree people above the fourth level.
Although the number is relatively limited, from the perspective of overall combat power, it is undoubtedly the strongest one.
After hearing the reports from the three allied commanders, Lei Xiao, the commander-in-chief, nodded slightly.
The 10 third-level legions of the human race as a reserve are also ready, and many human race strongmen including himself are also ready to fight and prepare for the attack.
"Your Majesty, the Shadow Market is monitoring the patrolling red dragons, please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
The voice of the administrator also came from the communication stone.
"Thank you all for your hard work. The time when the stars are shining has arrived, so let's set off now. "
Lei Xiao nodded to everyone, and immediately took the lead and walked in front of everyone.
Under the city wall, legions with strict military formations were already lined up in neat rows, waiting for the city gate to open.
At a glance, whether it was the dwarf elf army that manipulated the alchemical puppets, the powerful treeman army, or the wood fairy army suspended in the air, they all looked high-spirited.
Although the future is uncertain, this is the first time that the three major forces on this land have joined forces with the human race. Coupled with Lei Xiao's comprehensive change of clothes, it is not surprising that the morale is so high, even if the opponent they are facing is a group of dragons that have defeated them once.
It is worth mentioning that in order to reach the destination as soon as possible, Lei Xiao also provided the army with a sufficient amount of speed-up potions to further increase the movement speed of everyone.
"Open the door and march forward. "
Accompanied by Lei Xiao's order, the giant city gate slowly opened silently, and a thick foggy outside world came into the eyes of everyone present.
The thick fog kept rolling back and forth in front of them, just like a bottomless abyss, which was extremely treacherous, as if it could easily swallow everyone.
"Your Majesty, according to the predetermined plan, the task of opening up the way forward will be left to us. "
The fully armed Cornette held a staff and nodded heavily to Lei Xiao.
The elves are very familiar with this mountain peak, and they also know the climbing path clearly, so what the elves need to do is not only to dispel the dragon mirage, but also to be a guide to guide the way forward.
"Be sure to act cautiously and not be noticed by your opponents."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and signaled Cornette to start taking action.
Under Lei Xiao's order, Cornette bore the brunt and was the first to walk out of the city gate.
Behind the dwarf prince, there were also a group of dwarf soldiers in robes who lined up neatly and also walked towards the outside of the city.
Next to each dwarf, there is a special humanoid gray alchemy puppet.
This kind of alchemy puppet does not wear weapons and is not strong. Instead, it is tall and slender, just like a special mobile magic tower.
Under the gaze of everyone inside the door, and under the command of Cornette, the gray-robed dwarf soldiers quickly divided into two teams, the left and right, and headed towards the depths of the thick fog in the distance with their respective alchemy puppets.
Along with the rapid pace of the elves, taking their position as the boundary, the thick fog in front of them that was originally blinding began to slowly dissipate, and finally formed a spacious road.
The dwarf soldiers who followed also ordered the alchemy puppets to stand at the boundaries of the road to maintain the smooth flow of the road and prevent the fog on the left and right sides from spreading again.
Seeing this rather miraculous scene, the other soldiers in the city couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, and their morale became even higher.
"Let's go too."
Seeing that the road opened by the dwarfs extended all the way to the winding mountain, Lei Xiao gave the order to move forward.
For a moment, the entire city suddenly became tense. With the two fourth-order tree man legions as the vanguard, the black torrent of steel began to flow out in order, heading towards the destination on the top of the mountain.
At the front of the team were naturally a group of commanders and strong men headed by Lei Xiao.
While moving forward, Lei Xiao noticed further.
On both sides of the road dispersed by the dwarves, there is still a scene filled with thick fog. Sometimes you can see strange and distorted pictures and the black shadows of huge objects lingering in them. Those are obviously the scenes and physical illusions in the dragon mirage. .
However, since the fog on the road has been dispelled, even the physical illusion will not come close to here.
The dwarf soldiers stationed at the edge of the road obviously also have some kind of hiding method, making the physical illusions that occasionally pass by turn a blind eye.
All in all, under the escort of the dwarfs, our army moved unimpeded through the dragon mirage and advanced rapidly towards the depths of the mountain.
The most important thing is that the fog above the road has not been completely dispelled, but has only opened up a tunnel-like road.
In other words, even if you take a bird's-eye view from a high altitude, the thick fog will block your sight and you will not be able to find traces of the army.
"Is this thick fog both an obstacle to us and a barrier to cover our progress? It's quite interesting."
Lei Xiao's eyes moved and fell on Broy beside him, and he smiled and said: "Your Majesty the dwarf, thanks to the help of the dwarf this time."
"Your Majesty, you are welcome. The dwarfs have been living in this foggy area since the Blank Age. They have also lived next to dragon mirages for hundreds of years. They naturally know some ways to dispel the fog. Perhaps it is because of this. Because of the rich concentration of illusion energy particles in this area, the dwarves have also given birth to many powerful people who are proficient in illusion."
Broy also smiled and responded: "It's not a big deal, it's just the environment."
"Your Majesty the dwarf is too modest. Without the wisdom and perseverance of the dwarf, the army would not have been able to pass through here so smoothly."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and said: "Whether it is this battle or the future, the dwarves will be our inseparable partners and robes."
At this time, Lei Xiao could clearly feel that although the young dwarf king appeared calm on the surface, judging from his rapid breathing, it was obvious that he was in an extremely nervous state.
It's no wonder that since the decisive battle with the dragons, the dwarf has not used a sword for five hundred years, and the young king has never been on the battlefield. It is not surprising that this situation occurs.
Therefore, Lei Xiao's words were more to calm down the young dwarf king.
"With these words from His Majesty the Human Race, I feel relieved and warm in my heart."
Broy was obviously aware of Lei Xiao's intentions. He took a deep breath slowly and then said with firm eyes: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Back then, my father was able to face the dragons alone without being timid. Although I fought The experience is limited, but the courage is not inferior to that of the previous king, and the dwarves will never be afraid of the enemy. "
Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded heavily and said nothing else.
It didn't take long for us to reach the winding mountain road.
Lei Xiao already knew based on the information provided by Broy and the terrain images displayed on the magic sand table.
At that time, the dwarfs established many ore mining stations on Wumeng Peak, which extended to the top of the mountain. A complete and wide mountain road had been repaired here long ago.
It's just that because no one has stepped on it for five hundred years and it lacks maintenance, and the opponents entrenched here deliberately destroyed it, the road is severely damaged, and many places have collapsed and broken and cannot move forward.
This extremely unfavorable situation, if it were before, could still have a certain degree of impact on our army, but don't forget that the strength of our army is no longer what it used to be.
With the help of the wood fairies, the magic plank roads and magic bridges surrounded by vines quickly blocked all the gaps and merged with the original road.
The wood fairies who are good at using city building can quickly build a city that can compete with a million troops, so these are naturally no problem.
After the dwarf elves and the wood fairies cooperated more and more closely, our army had a smooth journey, just like a silent steel dragon, moving towards the mountain at a high speed.
Seeing that everything was going very smoothly, Lei Xiao did not relax at all, but became more cautious.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that our army was currently gathered on the winding mountain road. Once the opponent attacked from the sky at this time, our army would be in a very passive position, and it was not impossible for the whole army to be annihilated.
Beside Lei Xiao, Broy, Chris, or Shult were obviously aware of this and did not dare to neglect it.
Fortunately, the manager led the Misty Shadow Market to monitor the situation of the patrolling dragons around, so the commanders could feel a little relieved.
As time passed, the two bright moons and stars in the night sky became brighter and brighter, and the main force of our army finally arrived at the entrance of the dragon's lair without any danger.
Lei Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked around. The fog here had also been dispelled by the dwarves who arrived in advance, but because it was getting closer to the dragon mirage, it was still a little hazy everywhere.
"Your Majesty, the entrance to the nest we have chosen is ahead. Compared to the other two entrances, the terrain here is relatively flat, enough to accommodate a group of strong men to attack collectively and destroy the opponent's absolute defense barrier in one fell swoop."
Cornet, who had been clearing the way ahead, flew over and nodded to Lei Xiao, saying, "The dragon mirages nearby have been suppressed by the dwarf elves."
"Thank you for your hard work. Time is running out. Let's start to line up and prepare for the attack."
Lei Xiao did not hesitate and immediately began to command.
However, in a high-level hidden barrier that we did not notice at all, a pair of golden dragon pupils filled with hostility shrank into a vertical bar, watching everything silently.
