Chapter 425: The Dust Settles (Part II)
Early the next morning, Regis, a halfling with an important mission, walked through the city gate and walked briskly towards the location of the Crystal Tower.
Because yesterday afternoon, the stupid Akar Kessot did not destroy all the resistance in one fell swoop while he was at his strongest, but pretended to be generous and gave an ultimatum.
He threatens the Ten Towns, including Bryn Xander, to surrender unconditionally today, or else kill everyone with the power of the Demon Crystal Crusher.
At the same time, Trist, who had not closed his eyes all night, also lurked around the Crystal Tower, using the eyes of the magical creature from the astral plane, Guan Haifa, to try to find a hidden passage to the inside of the tower.
During his conversation with Ertu, he had learned some of the secrets about the Shattered Crystal, so he was ready to risk his life to assassinate Akar Kaisso.
Living with his evil fellow citizens for a long time always gave him an inexplicable strong sense of guilt, and it was this guilt that led him to desire salvation for any of them.
Stopping an evil wizard and his army of powerful monsters is one of the best ways to prove yourself.
As an outsider, Zhang Cheng knew very well what the Dark Elf Ranger was thinking, so he didn't stop the other party, just smiled meaningfully, and quickly lay on the ground and continued to read the magic books and notes that he had obtained not long ago.
As for those goblins, orcs, half-orcs, trolls and other monsters, they all trembled under the innate power of the dragon, and they didn't dare to take even half a step closer.
About half an hour or so, a huge crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the Magic Crystal Tower!
Click!
Click! click! click......
More cracks began to fill the surface of the tower!
Before the surrounding monsters could react to what had happened, large crystal shards fell from the sky, smashing the goblins alive that had barely had time to dodge.
"Ah!!!!! no! Damn it! Look what you've done! You're killing yourself!" Akal Kessot's piercing scream echoed over the shattered tower.
Although he tried several times to call the black dragon lying not far from the Crystal Tower to help him, unfortunately, the other party did not even react at all.
As a last resort, he used the tower's remaining power to burrow into a mirror, followed by the dark elves.
When the two of them opened their eyes again, they were no longer near the Crystal Tower, but had reached the top of the Cone of Kane.
Unfortunately, Akar Kessop did not learn his lesson at all, and held Clincippon high, bragging to show off the artifact's unparalleled power, which accidentally caused an avalanche.
No surprises!
With a deafening bang!
The white snow quickly converged and formed an unrivaled force of destruction!
Zhang Cheng could even see that the dark elves ran as hard as they could in order to avoid being buried alive.
As for Akar Kaisso, he has been abandoned by the Shattered Demon Crystal at this moment, completely buried under the terrible snow, and has also seen the location where the artifact is buried.
"The plan went unexpectedly, didn't it?"
Zhang Cheng curled the corners of his mouth, muttered a whisper to himself, and then glanced back at the black banner hanging on the wall of Brin Shande, quickly put away the book and soared into the air, spewing out deadly dragon breath at the goblins who were launching a frantic attack on the city wall.
Rumble!!
The flames were high enough to melt the metal, instantly burning more than a hundred goblins huddled together to ashes, a dozen more were crippled and badly injured, and fell to the ground wailing in pain, while many more goblins turned in horror and tried to escape.
They couldn't believe why the dragon would suddenly turn around and attack them.
The two Frost Giants who took over from Akar Kessop in command of the army also had surprised expressions on their faces, and even forgot to give orders to their ogre and troll guards.
"Oh my God, that dragon did what it promised!" said Kesios, the leader of Bryn Sander, with his mouth wide open.
Although the speakers spent hours discussing the issue of dragons in the second half of the night yesterday, they never expected that the other party would simply fulfill the agreement, which was not at all like the style of an evil dragon.
"Don't overthink it! Deal with the enemy in front of you first! Anyway, he's helping us now. Another strong man with a full beard tapped the former on the shoulder, then raised his axe and led the people in pursuit of the fleeing goblins.
Anyone who has ever ventured into the wilderness knows that for goblins, if they can't be scattered all at once, these evil little monsters will soon regroup and attack the surrounding caravans, villages, and towns.
......
Blood and fire!
Swords & Lives!
Normally, in a large-scale melee of more than a few thousand people like this, both sides will shed their last drop of blood in constant attrition, and even if they win, they will only be a pyrrhic victory, and it will take many years to recover.
But now, Zhang Cheng's addition has made the scales of victory clearly tilt in favor of Ten Towns.
With his hard dragon scales that ordinary weapons simply can't pierce, and his deadly flame breath, he inflicts considerable kills with each dive, and if you count the blow to morale, it can almost be said that the monsters will start to retreat quickly wherever they go.
In just seven or eight minutes, the two frost giants realized that they could not win the battle at all, and they abandoned their army and ran towards the depths of the frozen wasteland.
After a while, ogres, orcs, and half-orcs began to withdraw from the battlefield one after another, using trolls and goblins who were not very good at using their brains as cannon fodder for the rear of the palace.
Just as the residents of the Ten Towns were about to celebrate their victory, Zhang Cheng followed the scattered footprints on the ground and caught up with an orc tribe marked by a winter wolf.
Unlike most orc tribes, this tribe is not too numerous, less than a hundred and fifty people, but there are no women, old people, and young children, all of them adult men.
The leader was tall and strong, wearing a half-body armor that he had stolen from nowhere, and carrying a huge axe that shimmered with a faint magical light.
Despite the retreat, the team was not disorganized, and to be more precise, he took the opportunity to attack the other two orc tribes, stealing a large amount of food from each other.
With this food, this orc tribe will not be devoured by all kinds of terrible beasts because of the loss of too much physical strength in the process of escaping, as other tribes do.
Obviously, the leader of the orcs did not want to be as stupid as his kind, but was full of wisdom and foresight.
And what Zhang Cheng needs now is just a subordinate with wisdom and foresight.
After a brief observation, he quickly swooped down from a high altitude and intercepted the orc tribe's escape route......
