Chapter 570: Ancient Dragon
The offensive of the National Association of Progressives was resolute, rapid and fierce, and soon after Salas Onassis gave the order, the overwhelming artillery fire was already bombarding the positions of the Wildenstein family.
They chose the Holy Stone Fortress, which was relatively weak in defense and had low quality soldiers, as the main direction of attack. Two battle clusters of 200,000 people, one left and one right, struck in the direction of the Holy Stone Fortress like iron pincers.
There was also an elite army of 270,000 men deployed on the periphery of the battlefield by the other side, eyeing the north of Atlanta. He made no secret of his intention to encircle the point and send reinforcements.
However, the counterattack of the Rising Sun Group on the other side was also extremely fierce. Thousands of fortress guns opened fire at the same time, covering every corner of the battlefield. In particular, the 'Holy Spirit Annihilator', which is as high as one hundred and twenty-six, is particularly violent. Each shell can easily destroy several combat vehicles, and it is also suppressing the artillery positions of the National Association of Progressives, and given the disparity in range, lethality, and defensive capabilities between the two sides, their self-propelled artillery does not even dare to stay in place for even a minute after firing the artillery.
And in the sky, there are uncountable anti-aircraft missiles. In the rear position of the Holy Stone Fortress, the flaming spears continued to sprint into the air in a serpentine trajectory, making them completely inaccessible to their air troops. Makes John Adams wonder if the opposite side has emptied the missile stockpile of Light & Magic Industries.
Then the magic armor and variable fighter troops on the opposite side are also not to be underestimated.
Although the rise of the Rising Sun Group is short, with the support of Anthony Braden, no less than 250 units of the air combat model of the 'Demon Refining 'Armor' have been purchased, as well as 130 F41 variant fighters, plus excellent pilots, it is enough to control the air supremacy over the Holy Stone Fortress with the support of ground forces. The heavy bombs they were carrying could not be dropped above the Holy Stone Fortress and the makeshift fortresses.
But what really made John Adams feel solemn was that at the height of the battlefield, two dragons with a length of 200 meters suddenly appeared. It was a blue dragon and a black dragon - just by looking at the size, it was the level of an ancient dragon.
"'Cold Tyrant' Cyberstan?'Red Flame Destroyer' Sarn?Dragon's Oath?"
These two huge figures made John Adams's heart feel like he had been hit hard, and his face was even colder.
"Damn! How could the Wildenstein family have such a high-level dragon oath?"
The Dragon's Oath is a gift of thanks and reward from the Dragons to their allies, who have also been obtained by the Addams family, but at most they are only demigods, and after paying a huge price, they have obtained a summoning covenant limited to the Red Dragon.
So John couldn't understand at all, could the people of the Wildenstein family be the supreme dragon god who saved them?
That race, known for its stinginess, was actually generous enough to grant the Dragon Oath of the Ancient Dragon level?
"Now is not the time to say that. β
As the commander of the whole army, Salas Onassis's aura is also gloomy. His brows furrowed into the word 'Chuan', and his eyes were sharp and cold.
"We'll have to change our battle plan now, John!"
Since the appearance of these two ancient dragons, the situation on the battlefield has been extremely bad.
The Ice Dragon Power of the 'Cold Tyrant' Cyberstan can completely freeze an entire area, tens of kilometers of land. Keeping the armoured vehicles in a position to freeze the soldiers of the National Association of Progressives in the ice, Sarn the 'Destroyer of Red Flames' is at the other extreme, and wherever its dragon's breath is pointed, it becomes a hell that no life can pass. And their skin and scales, covered by the source force armor, are as strong as the walls of a fortress, even the heavy artillery of the fortress like the 'Holy Spirit Annihilator', or even a miniature nuclear bomb, can only knock them back and injure, but cannot seriously damage them.
This obviously boosted the morale of all the forces under the Rising Sun Group, and forced them to invest a large number of mages to suppress and mitigate the role of these two ancient dragons on the battlefield.
However, in terms of mage power alone, the Wildenstein family, which has earned the allegiance of the Remar clan, is undoubtedly above the National Association of Progressives. This allows the blood mage on the opposite side to vent his mana to them as much as he can without a balance.
- Although the lethality of those blood mages is far inferior to that of modern gunpowder weapons. However, many spells such as fossil to mud, greasy spells, and swamp spells can play a greater role than gunpowder weapons, and complement the latter.
This has resulted in huge casualties for every meter advanced by the army of the National Association of Progressives.
Less than seven minutes after the two ancient dragons appeared, several troops on the front line were forced to halt their advance.
With the help of John and several operational staff officers, Salas Onassis had quickly adjusted the offensive sequence and put several reserves into battle.
But everyone in this armored command vehicle understands that if they want to turn the tide of battle, this alone is not enough. If they couldn't suppress those two ancient dragons, the troops they deployed in front of them would exhaust every ounce of their strength.
"Looks like we're in trouble, Salas. β
This was not John next to him, but a figure that appeared beside them in a magical projection, this one was thin, dressed in a mage robe, with brilliant blonde hair and a tattoo of the word '*' on the center of his eyebrow.
- That's Yvonne Matteola, one of the eight Magical Envoys of America recognized by the New World Magic Association!
"Do we need to attack in advance? These two ancient dragons both have a certain amount of divine power, and Andre's life and death divine power is also very tricky, and we had better come up with equal combat power to solve it. β
"I don't think I need it yet, Lord Yvonne. β
Salas Onassis shook his head slightly, "If there is a slight setback, you will need a few of your Supreme Beings to take action. So what does our three supreme families spend hundreds of billions of gold shields every year to support tens of thousands of outlaws, and there are so many legends and so many demigods?"
He looked at the battlefield projection in front of him, and his voice was firm and cold as steel: "Although the two ancient dragons are indeed not in our expectations, their strength has not exceeded the margin of our battle plan. I think we'll be able to handle it, Lord Yvonne!"
"You're going to use the beast blood troops, right?"
Yvonne Mattiola thoughtfully held his chin with his hand: "But in this case, the casualties will be a bit bigger! than you expected! The combat power of the ancient dragon, even if it is us magicians, needs to avoid three points." What's more, across from us, there is an 'Isis' who controls life and death. β
"But that's what they're all about, isn't it?"
Salas didn't care at all: "As long as these two dragons can be contained, 10,000 extra-law level casualties are acceptable." β

At this time, Li Mochen, who was sitting in the headquarters of the Rising Sun Fortress, was slightly relieved.
He followed Consuri's advice and didn't skimp on money. In the immediate aftermath of the war, he and Hazel summoned two ancient dragons through the Dragon's Oath with up to 7 billion and 8.2 billion gold dongles in gold coins and gems respectively.
Why Seven Billion and Eight Two Billion? The basic requirement for the Dragon Covenant to summon the ancient dragon is indeed five billion gold shields. But this is only the starting price, if you want to summon the ancient dragon with more powerful combat power, you must increase the commission.
So at the beginning, Li Mochen still felt very worried - although the money to hire these two ancient dragons was mainly due to the generous donations of those elders of the Wildenstein family, he himself had only come up with less than a billion.
But when the ancient blue dragon named 'Cold Tyrant' Cyberstan and the other ancient black dragon known as 'Red Flame Destroyer' Sarn began to wantonly vent their strength on the battlefield in front of them, driven by money, Li Mochen still calmed down and eliminated some of the pain in his flesh.
You get what you pay for, and the combat power of these two ancient dragons has not failed to live up to his hopes. Both Cyberstan and Sarn have the strength to decide the outcome of a large-scale battle, or even to suppress hundreds of thousands of enemy troops on the opposite side alone.
"Sir, we've observed unusual movements in the rear of the enemy army! In an area about twenty kilometers away from the enemy line, a large number of containers have been found, and I suspect that they are their beast blood troops-"
This is a staff officer sitting in front of a large screen on the left, who is observing the images of the real satellite and the magic projections that the mages have observed with magic: "The seventh satellite of Light and Magic Industries has been interfered with, and the image is starting to be distorted. β
"Contact Major General Filton, commander of the 2nd Artillery Group, and put him in charge of scheduling artillery fire to concentrate the attack, and I will grant him command of all the self-propelled artillery battalions of the 1st and 2nd Mechanized Infantry Brigades, as well as the 24 'Holy Spirit Annihilators' of the 3rd Temporary Fortress. β
In the center of the command, Major General Michael Wood calmly gave the order: "Inform Professor Alex Glanz again and ask him to strengthen the observation of the enemy camp!"
Li Mochen did not interfere with this command. He is instilling mana, covering the entire battlefield with his divine power of life and death.
Although the wider the scope of this theocratic power, the weaker the effect. However, the high-level divine power can still greatly increase the combat power of the more than 100,000 troops on the side of the Rising Sun Group, and also greatly weaken the strength of the other party.
What's more, in addition to this, Li Mochen still has some emphasis.
So 'Red Flame Destroyer' Sarn laughed while spitting dragon flames unscrupulously: "Guy who inherited Patrick's bloodline, I love fighting under you. It's been a long time since the Middle Ages since I've had this enjoyment. Next time you can summon me directly, I can give you a special price, only four billion gold guilders! Four billion gold can make me your right-hand man! It's only half the price before-"
The personality of the color dragon is mostly chaotic and warlike, and the black dragon clan is the best among them, they are usually fighting dragons, especially bloodthirsty, and love destruction and destruction.
At this time, this black dragon, under the protection of Li Mochen's life divine power, rushed directly into the depths of the enemy formation. With its dragon breath, with his fire magic amplified by the 'destruction' theocracy, it destroyed everything he saw.
With Li Mochen as his backing, the 'Red Flame Destroyer' Sarn was not afraid of the other party's blows at all. Even if it is a serious injury to the heart, it can recover in an instant. What's more, the figure of this ancient black dragon is also extra agile, and those truly deadly spells and cannon fire are difficult to hit its body.
The 'Cold Tyrant' Cyberstan was much more conservative, but this one was in the middle of the battlefield, creating a strong barrier of ice. And in the enemy's position, not only are there rows of ice spikes, one after another piercing out of the ground, there are also countless ice spears in the sky, falling like a storm, although the momentum is far inferior to the fire of destruction and meteorites from the sky created by the black dragon, but the lethality is not below the latter at all.
This situation continued until the front of the opponent's battle line, and some shadowy, beast-like figures appeared.
These figures were fearless under the intense artillery bombardment, and they also possessed a strong vitality, even if their limbs were crushed by those flying shrapnel, they could recover in less than ten seconds. It is also agile and has strong magic resistance, and can easily pass over the ice barrier and blazing fire wall made by two ancient dragons.
And one of them, with the support of many legendary mages, has been entangled with the 'Cold Tyrant' Cyberstan and the 'Red Flame Destroyer' Sarn.
The powerful mages hiding behind the battlefield are constantly using their various spells to unfreeze these 'beast blood warriors' and extinguish the flames that contain destructive power.
This allowed them to attack the two ancient dragons one after the other - even Cyberstan's dragon claws could easily crush these 'beast blood warriors', and even Sarn's dragon wings could slap them into plasma with a single flap of their wings.
"Sir, their beast blood troops are pouring in! Quantity-"
There were several staff officers next to him, counting the data collected from all sides: "At present, it is 13,000 to 19,000, and our front line is beginning to be under pressure. Normal ammo is of limited use to them, and these Beast Blood Warriors have extra strong HP. β
Clark Banfield's face couldn't help but turn pale, his estimate of the number of 'beast blood warriors' was obviously wrong, and it was very wrong.
Michael Wood had a solemn expression: "Tell the blood mage troops of the Rui Mor clan that the next priority is to solve the 'Beast Blood Warrior'β"
However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Mochen: "I don't need them for the time being, Michael." β
Michael glanced behind him in surprise, only to see a sarcastic smile on the lips of his employer: "I should be able to deal with most of them!
"You're right, my temporary bossβ"
The 'Destroyer of Red Flames' Sarn's voice came in again, and it was giggling, "I was about to say this, Mr. Wildenstein Jr., your life theocracy is strong, strong enough to kill them!"
"But it's going to be hard for both of you, and you need to be patient a little first. β
At this time, Li Mochen's eyes were flashing with a red luster. The 'Burial Spirit' necklace on his chest was also flashing with blue fluorescence: "Please give me five to seven minutes!"
"Yes! I'm looking forward to it. β
This is the voice of the 'Cold Tyrant' Cyberstein, which is deeper than that of Sarn: "They are a swarm of ants in my eyes, but if the ants never die, the situation will be very disgusting!"
Li Mochen continued to manipulate his life theocracy, and at the same time devoted a little bit of energy to other things: "How is Van Derek and the Van Peter family?
"Nope!"
Clark Banfield replied hurriedly, and despite the number of beast blood troops on the other side, he slapped him hard in the face, but it did not shake his confidence in his own abilities.
"Their forces are still only small gatherings, and the vast majority of outlaws are still in the dark world. Although there are more than 20 legends gathered in the 'Purple Jewel' mansion. Judging from the current situation, their purpose is more to prevent accidents and self-protection. β
"And what about outside the battlefield?
"It's calm outside the battlefield. β
Clark Banfield's eyes flashed: "Most of the information and movements of those magicians and demigods are provided by Lady Christy Brad. I don't know if this magician is reliable, but since the appearance of the two ancient dragons, their sense and snooping on the sacred stone fortress has begun to recede. β
He knew that this was the reason why Li Mochen and Kang Xiuli had put the 'Cold Tyrant' Cyberstan and the 'Red Flame Destroyer' Sarn into battle at the beginning. This is to deter all potential enemies of the Wildenstein family, and to announce to those who are pretenders that at least at the top level of combat power, the Wildenstein family is completely inferior to the other side in this war, and anyone needs to think about the consequences before falling into the ground.

"Dragon's Oath!"
Heinz van Derrick has dispelled all the distractions in his heart that he shouldn't have. He tasted the high-end red wine from the waiter with great grace, but swallowed it with great difficulty.
"That's what makes me feel strange and uncomfortable, in less than a year and a half. The power of the Wildenstein family is like blowing up a balloon, and it is so fast that people can't react. When we woke up, the family was already a behemoth that we could only look up to. β
And beside this one, the glass in Alec Van Peter's hand never moved.
"The strength of the National Association of Progressives is just as unexpected, their R&D and investment in the Beast Blood Warrior has reached this point, and if they continue to improve, it will change the entire balance of power in America. The National Association of Progressives will also surpass Freemasonry and Skull and Bones to become the most powerful group in the country!"
"There are more than 20,000 outlaws in total, and all of them are warriors with extremely strong vitality-"
Heinz Van Derrick agrees: "Just the strength of the current force is enough to level Van Derrick and Van Peter. So, Alec, you're still looking forward to the National Association of Progressives, hoping that they'll be able to wreak havoc on the Wildensteins?"
"I didn't say that. β
Ever since the appearance of the two ancient dragons, Alec Van Pitt has been more careful not to express anything directed at the Wildensteins.
"However, for now, the strength of the two ancient dragons is not enough to change the balance of power between the two sides. It's still very difficult for the Wildenstein family to resist the offensive of the National Association of Progressivesβ"
At this moment, Alec let out a startled sigh and stopped his follow-up words.
It was only because of his magical vision that he keenly noticed that the 'beast blood warriors' who were fighting fiercely with the two ancient dragons had different degrees of abnormal changes in their bodies. Some people have muscles that swell and twist and bulge into a giant ball. Some people have a large number of bone spurs, which are pierced directly from the flesh.
Heinz van Derrick also noticed the change, and then a wry smile and a deep sense of disappointment appeared in his eyes.
"It's Andre's theocracy of life, and his achievements in the field of life have actually reached this point-"
