Chapter 257: The Dragon King is Coming

The Dorne Mountains, which stretch for thousands of miles, are like a long dragon that separates the north from the south.

To the south is the scorching Valley of Fire, and to the north is a comfortable place for human habitation.

A coalition of 100,000 humans was now stationed at the top of the Dorne Mountains, backed by the walls built by the spellcasters to resist the invasion of the monster army.

The mountains are rugged and difficult to navigate, unlike the plains, which can launch a massive charge.

Humans rely on Dorn's natural hazards and have a condescending natural advantage.

Even if it is not easy to climb this mountain range in normal times, let alone a wall with an average height of almost 20 meters.

The walls are covered with protruding stalagmite spikes, which are meant to prevent the monsters from climbing.

This precipitous fortress is quite a man, and it is impossible to open it.

In terms of the difficulty of attacking the city, I am afraid that it is a few points more difficult than Mithril City back then.

And Mithril City has held back the army of the Flame Dragon Mother for three years.

The human kingdom now needs time, and as long as there is enough time, it can continue to build fortresses in the rear to block the invasion of enemies.

The monsters do not produce and drag on, and the balance of war will gradually tilt in favor of humans.

However, this time, the army dominated by the red dragon is fierce, and the number of troops is large.

In addition to a large number of land creatures, such as wyverns, there are also many higher races such as the Chimera, with more than 10,000 in number.

This is not very good news for the human coalition.

It means that at least 20,000 Red Dragon Clans will cut into the rear of the human coalition army by parachuting into the rear of the human alliance and launch a surprise attack on the enemy.

This is where the advantage of the Red Dragon Clan lies today, and there is no disadvantage in the absolute sense.

No creature is allowed to enter the city unless it is enveloped with legendary defensive spells, as Farren did.

Of course, the human coalition is not without air combat units.

Since ancient times, humans have been quite gifted in the technology of domesticating wild beasts.

Griffin Knights, Eagle Men, Vulture Horse Knights, Wyvern Knights, and a few metal dragons, as well as magical airships capable of carrying dozens or hundreds of people.

In general, the strength of the human coalition is not weak.

In order to win this war, several human kingdoms have come up with their own backgrounds.

Countless large fortification machines were transported from the rear to the Dorne Mountains, many of which had appeared on the First Northern Battlefield, drinking the blood of monsters.

In addition, there are not a few powerful mercenary adventurers, and there are even more than a dozen professional dragon hunting organizations, all of whose members are high-level professionals with high efficiency.

For this war, the human side can be said to be fully prepared.

The Flame Dragon Mother had just been defeated, and the momentum of the human alliance was in full swing, even if she knew that the army of the Flame Scourge was menacing, she didn't think that she would lose this war.

To fight a war, the momentum of the army is very important.

On the other hand, the Red Dragon King's monster army is heading non-stop to the Dorne Mountains.

After several days of rapid marching, the Red Dragon Legion had stepped out of the confines of the Flame Mountain Range, and in the distance, the majestic mountain range that seemed to split the entire sky in two was in front of them.

Under Izawa's order, the Red Dragon Clan was stationed in place, and the giant eagle scouts under Hua Luo's command had already found out the movements of the human alliance.

After all, such a long high wall can be seen clearly by anyone who is not blind, and the giant eagle is notoriously good for its eyesight, and can even see mice from a kilometer away.

"In just half a month, a huge wall stretching for several kilometers has been built on the top of the Dorne Mountains to block my Red Dragon Army, and the infrastructure madness is still strong."

Izawa sighed thoughtlessly, this is where monsters are no match for humans in any way.

Human creativity is too strong, although the individual is weak, but once gathered, the power that bursts out should not be underestimated.

That's why humans will replace elves and dwarves as the masters of the continent.

It's not unreasonable.

"Tsk, is this the wisdom of human beings?"

Ize looked at the top of the Dorne Mountains, a huge dragon that was on average more than a thousand meters above the surface, and gradually fell into deep thought.

Along the way, he has fought Titans, Orcs, Dragons, and Elves.

Except for the drow elves, who show high intelligence, the rest can be called monsters.

There are no obvious tactics in all wars, and they are all pushed all the way, and they are overwhelmingly crushed by strength.

Of course, this is precisely the advantage of monsters, they do not beat around the bush and intrigue and do not understand too complex tactical theories, anyway, they will be done with their minions to tear the enemy apart.

However, human beings are different, they are naturally weak, and although they can become powerful warriors or spellcasters after hard and continuous cultivation, they are only a minority after all.

For example, less than one in a hundred people have a talent for spells, and even fewer end up spending countless time, energy, and money to become high-level spellcasters.

Therefore, the vast majority of them are ordinary people, and one-on-one fighting alone is not even an opponent of a jackal.

But human beings are a race that can often perform miracles, and through the cooperation of military formations and equipped armor and weapons, they can often exert several times their own strength.

For example, if a thousand gnolls and a thousand hoplites fight on a battlefield, the gnolls will not even be able to break through their formation, and will eventually be defeated by the devastating ones.

The human alliance had just won the army of the Flame Dragon Mother, and it was clear that it was aware of this.

With the experience of the Dorne Kingdom, in order to protect their homeland from being trampled by monsters, the human society spontaneously donated money, food, clothing, medicine, etc.

Countless heavy loads of grain and grass formed a long convoy and transported them to the Done Mountains, giving the most abundant support to the soldiers ahead.

When the entire human society unites, it is really unimaginable to burst out with combat effectiveness.

If the Flame Dragon Mother had fought against such a human army from the beginning, I am afraid that even the Kingdom of Dorne would not be able to take it.

"This war is hard to fight."

Izawa let out another sigh.

The height of the Dorne Mountains does not allow the Red Dragons to form a charge, and the terrain is so rugged that they can even slide down the slopes if they are not careful.

And the human coalition army occupies a favorable terrain to fight high and low, with a siege crossbow of five meters and a catapult of ten meters.

There are many spellcasters on the city wall, and there is no need to cast any powerful offensive spells, only need to cast some extremely large swamp spells, greasy spells, and some earth-based spells that can change the terrain, and the monsters can get close to the city wall is even more difficult than attacking Farlan.

Of course, there are disadvantages and breakthroughs.

The quality of this wall was not comparable to that of Phalanglon, which had been poured with liquid pure gold, neither in height nor in thickness.

Not to mention that Farlan Lun also has the protection of the Lost Lock, and in time, the powerful magic that can change the terrain is completely useless.

But at the moment, Izawa had many ways to destroy the walls, or at least open a breach.

However, if the Red Dragon Legion is unable to pass in time, the gap will be quickly re-plugged by the casters with spell shaping spells.

Unless you can wipe out the enemies in that area with absolute strength, you will not be given a chance for human support at all.

If you use a large-scale seismic technique, it is true that you can collapse the city wall, but your own Red Dragon Legion will bear the brunt of the blows of various mountain collapses.

Compared to the power of that natural disaster, even if there are a million in the Red Dragon Legion, it is useless, not a single one can escape, and all of them will be buried alive.

And it is also necessary to consider whether human beings will use this method of ending up together, judging from many famous historical battles, those soldiers who fight to the death and do not retreat have the idea that killing one is enough to kill two and earn one.

What to do?

If he blindly fights with the human alliance, he can't afford the loss of the Red Dragon Legion, but the human alliance has the entire north as the rear, and the supplies and support are endless.

Let the digging worm dig through the mountain?

If you have this skill, you might as well go around the Flaming Mountains and pass through the riverbend corridor.

Pass!

Or let the flying unit transport the Red Dragon Clan from the air?

It seems to work, but it's bound to be met with human resistance.

"It's nerve-wracking."

Izawa sighed again.

He summoned two green dragons, who were poisonous and thirsty for blood, to discuss the plan together, and finally came to the conclusion that it seemed that they could only rely on strong attacks, but the order of strong attacks and the methods were scored in order to minimize the losses.

If this battle is won, it will be able to take out the main force of the human alliance in one fell swoop, which will greatly damage their confidence.

In the future, the Red Dragon Legion will not encounter much resistance to the invasion of the north.

So, no matter what, this battle must be fought!

……

Cromwell Arnold, the commander of Dorne Fortress (the name given to the walls by the human coalition), was a high-ranking warrior of Tampas, the god of war, and the chief commander of the human coalition in the First Northern War.

He has led the human alliance to defeat the army of the Flame Dragon Mother on several occasions, and his prestige among the army is extremely high.

(Note: The Ancient Golden Dragon Flying Fire Meteor is the leader of the "Justice League.") )

On the war-torn continent of Elbaf, the church in Tampas may be prestigious.

Followers of the Hammer of the Enemy (nicknamed the god of war) have fought hard and honorably on battlefields around the world, and can be found in almost all conflicts.

Above the heads of the human coalition were giant eagles hovering, flying at a height of two thousand meters, their sharp eagle eyes staring at the human army below.

Even the top archers of the elves would have a hard time shooting them down at this height, but that doesn't mean that the human coalition is helpless against these giant eagle scouts.

Many eagle people, griffons took to the air and immediately rose into the air, tearing apart the giant eagle scouts who had not had time to escape.

After a few bloody lessons, the eagle no longer dared to approach the other side of the wall.

Of course, using the giant eagle to spy on enemy intelligence is not exclusive to the Red Dragon King, and the human side also uses the Eagle Man to probe the Red Dragon Legion's troop formation.

It's just that this is also not beneficial, led by the flying dragon, as long as the eagle man dares to fly five hundred meters out of the city wall, he will definitely be torn apart by the Red Dragon Clan.

Cromwell stood on the high wall, holding a holy shield in his left hand and a greatsword in his right hand.

The shield is based on a blood-red base, and in the center is a silver sword that emits flames, which is the emblem of the god of war.

He wore an intricately carved set of enamelled Mithril armor, which was as brilliant as a white earth covered with first snow, and the white silver threads and locks glittered in the sunlight.

Cromwell did not belong to any kingdom power, he only believed in Tampas, the god of war, and he would appear wherever there was war.

He fully learned the teachings of Tampas, experienced numerous wars in his life, grew up in war, and was known as the "God of War" in the army.

At this moment, he was holding an alchemy-made war mirror tube in his hand, and through optical refraction and complex magic transmission, he could clearly see the leaves five kilometers away.

The Dorne Mountains, which stretch for thousands of miles, are like a long dragon that separates the north from the south.
