Chapter 29: The Siege
In the distance, the lich standing on the ground pretending to activate the spatial gate could already see the black dragon in the sky.
It was a mighty, locust-like black dragon.
The undead hiding in the snow, hiding behind rocks, and dormant in underground space are all ready.
The soul fire in Richie's eyes burned wildly.
The lichs hovering around Richie began to accumulate their magic one by one.
A big battle is about to break out, just waiting for the black dragons to get closer. If the undead want to catch them off guard, the first wave of the offensive must be carried out with all their might.
The more seriously the Black Dragons are injured, the weaker their defenses will be in the subsequent Dragon's Top Battles.
Ten kilometers, eight kilometers, six kilometers......
Little by little, the distance narrowed, and the black dragons rushed straight at them as if they had taken the script that Richie had preset for them.
The bone dragons and zombie dragons had lowered their bodies slightly and began to accumulate strength. When the Black Dragons launch their first attack, the Lich will instantly tear open the hollowed-out mountain. Make the underground space the above-ground space. Then, countless bone dragons and zombie dragons will rush forward and cooperate with the undead wolf riders and undead spiders to strangle these black dragons.
However, when the distance between the other party and himself was three kilometers left, the black dragon group stopped the charge.
Yes, they stopped. Not only stopping, but also retreating little by little, pulling the distance back to four kilometers, and even further. The expected attack did not take place, and the ambush, naturally, did not take place.
The lichs froze.
"What's going on? Did they find us?" a lich whispered, "I swear, I'm well hidden!"
Richie slowly tilted his head as well.
Heaven and earth were silent.
The black dragons flapped their wings and floated in the air, looking at the undead on the ground as bait from afar, not taking a step forward.
After a while, they continued to retreat little by little.
"They already know. Richie whispered.
"It can't be, we're hiding it so well! they can't find out!" one of the lichs screamed.
"Someone told them. β
"Who?"
"Heaven, or hell. There is no point in hiding anymore. Raising his hand, Richie shouted, "Strike!"
Suddenly, countless undead struggled to stand up from the snow and shook off the snowflakes on their bodies.
The mountains and rivers trembled slightly, and the rocks on the ground collapsed. In the dust, a huge underground space was revealed, and countless undead beasts appeared.
The black dragons flying in the air slowly widened their eyes and looked at them in horror, including the Black Dragon Great Elder.
......
"We can't let this little guy win. If he wins, he will become a big problem for us if he completely controls the Celtic continent. The demon in the abyss said, "At a critical time, we must help these black dragons. β
......
Alex Lahan, who had turned into a bone dragon, flapped his wings and flew into the sky with Richie. Behind it, there are countless bone dragons. From a distance, it looks like a frightened bird, rushing into the sky.
The two sides looked at each other silently, at a stalemate.
A large number of undead began to form a formation, and the sea of undead seemed to engulf the whole world. Their bodies even covered the snow from the earth.
The expressionless skeletons looked up silently, soul fire burning in their eyes. Wisps of smoke drifted out, flew into the sky, and converged as if the ground had just been burned.
Staring at Richie, the Black Dragon Great Elder's anger had reached its peak: "What about my son?"
"What about my father?" asked Richie rhetorically, understatement.
"Are you Richie, the son of the Lich King Grey?" the Black Dragon Grand Elder gritted his teeth.
Richie didn't answer, but slowly drew the long sword at his waist and puffed up his chest. The shrill sound echoed softly.
The soldiers of the Undead Legion on the ground couldn't help but clench their weapons and looked eager to try.
Something even more shocking to the black dragons happened. There is obviously more than one hill hollowed out by Ritchie. The surrounding mountains and the rocks on the surface have collapsed, and more undead legions have emerged from them. Countless undead formed a crescent moon formation, heading towards the army of black dragons suspended in the air.
If the opponent is not a black dragon, it does not have a strong flying ability. If this is a confrontation between two human armies, then the opponent can basically be sentenced to death. Because in this situation, it is simply impossible to get out of the whole body.
Fortunately, it is a black dragon.
But, even so......
"What should we do now?" asked the black dragon.
"Doesn't seem right, we can't beat it. A black dragon replied.
"Withdraw?"
"It's not right to withdraw...... There's nothing we can do to stop them from advancing. With a distance of more than a hundred kilometers, they can walk through it step by step. What will we do then? We'll be surrounded in the top of the dragon and can't get out......"
The two sides were at a stalemate, the undead maintained a formation that could attack at any time, and the black dragon maintained a distance that could retreat at any time.
High in the sky, two demons were quietly observing the battle situation, and their perspectives appeared directly in front of the demons in the abyss.
......
"Fortunately, the black dragon was not stupid enough to rush straight forward. As long as they are willing to go back and hold on to the top of the dragon, then at least for a while, this little lich will not be able to win. Lichs have an infinite lifespan, and so does the black dragon, and they can stalemate here forever. β
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Another demon casually took his hand, and a new, huge picture appeared in front of all the demons.
In the picture, countless golden dragons are flying high in the sky.
"What is this?" asked the demon.
"The golden dragon is rushing in the direction of the top of the dragon. Their position is just opposite to the ancient battlefield, so ...... If this continues, the Golden Dragon may rush to the periphery of the Dragon Peak before the Black Dragon army retreats to the Dragon's Peak......"
All of a sudden, the big demons present were all stunned, and their eyes widened one by one.
The demon lord who was like a black mist was silent from beginning to end.
"Must ...... They must be stopped! Without the top of the dragon, the black dragon will be completely defeated!The black dragon must be notified to retreat immediately!" a demon shouted.
......
Soon, the Black Dragon Grand Elder who was confronting Richie opened his eyes slightly, and his expression was completely frozen.
"Oh my God......" Richie helplessly held his forehead: "Someone is telling you again." Is it heaven or hell?"
"What do you mean?" asked Simon, who was flying next to him on the Bone Dragon.
"Someone informed them that the golden dragon was on its way to the top of the dragon. β
"How do you know someone is snitching?"
"Look at the expression. Rich replied casually.
Sure enough, the black dragons quickly began to reorganize their formation, the strongest black dragon was sent to the front line, and the slightly weaker black dragon quietly retreated. Immediately after that, they began to retreat. Probably to guard against the pursuit of the undead, they retreated slowly, but not very quickly.
"Bring the captives up!" Richie shouted, then looked at the Black Dragon Elder who was retreating little by little and said, "Don't you want to see your son?
A skeletal dragon appeared in the black dragons' field of vision under the control of a lich, clutching the already unconscious Augustberg at its feet.
The retreating Black Dragon Grand Elder was stunned for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and soon, he continued to flap his wings and retreated.
"And, whose daughter is this?" cried Richie.
The black-haired dragon girl who had been captured by Richie was tied up and lifted out from the feet of a bone dragon.
There seemed to be something strange among the dragons, and two black dragons almost rushed up. Soon, however, they were all stopped by their companions.
They continue to retreat.
"Do you want to see me cut off their flesh piece by piece?" Richie then cried out.
This is a provocative move. However, it seemed that it was all useless, and the black dragons were still retreating little by little.
The bone dragons of the Undead Legion were not enough to intercept such a large number of black dragons alone, and it was difficult to even stop them from retreating. As for the other undead, they simply couldn't keep up with the speed at which the black dragon retreated.
After the provocation failed, Richie could only helplessly watch the black dragons go away with anger until they disappeared into the sky.
Reluctantly, Richie took off his helmet and stood quietly on the back of the bone dragon.
Gale blew past him.
The lichs all around him were watching him silently. Or rather, the entire army of the undead was watching him.
After a few moments, the new Lich King whispered, "I was going to settle them here, but unfortunately, someone betrayed us. It should be heaven or hell. It doesn't matter, we will still win, and no one can stop us. They just live a few more days. Now, let's start the march and go to the top of the dragon. Then destroy it. Then, we'll have access to their treasured collection of dragon language and magic texts, as well as countless dragon remains!"
The next moment, the undead legion, which had been so quiet without a sound, seemed to explode.
All the undead are roaring and shouting to the sky. The lichs whizz through the sky on the bone dragon.
Following the direction pointed by Rich, the boundless army of the undead began to move forward step by step with neat steps. It was as if the whole world was going to be swallowed up.
Perhaps, that's what Richie wanted to do.
......
In another dimension, Gray is lying on the grass, staring blankly at the sky.
The black cat lay beside him, curled up into a "cat cake".
"We've been here for a thousand years. β
"Yes. β
"We're going to stay for another nine thousand years?"
"Yes. β
Gray turned to stare at the black cat and said, "But I'm already a little homesick, thinking about Shelley, Richie, and the others. I'm not here, they don't know what's going on. β
The wind blew gently, crushing the weeds.
The grass and trees here are unusually green, countless times more vivid than the most green grass in the real world, and even a little dazzling. It's like a dream.
The black cat opened its eyes and glanced at Gray and yawned lazily.
"We've been here for a thousand years, but they've only been here for a little over three months. Very briefly. I don't think you need to worry about them. After all, for more than three months, nothing happened. β
"Really? But I'm still a little worried. β
"You're just missing them. Honestly, that's not a good habit for a lich. I've never heard of a lich thinking of anyone. Isn't this kind of thing like a lich supposed to be able to stay motionless for tens of thousands of years just by finding a random place?"
"I guess so, I'm probably an exception. β
"You should focus on improving your magical skills. That way, when you leave here, everything will be different. Trust me, they're not going to be okay. You have made an alliance with the golden dragon, and the black dragon cannot win. At the same time, if you are not there, they will not be able to win against the Black Dragon. So, nothing will happen. β
"But...... But...... But......" Gray looked at the sky for a long time before he whispered, "I used to hang in Brutus's study for a hundred and fifty years, and I didn't think it was long. Even felt like I could hang there for 10,000 years. But now, I think it's too long. β
In the distance, Tenedas was lying on the ground, stretched out his horse's hooves and gently turned a page of the book, and then grinned: "Heyββ! I think my understanding of the divine has deepened again." β
Right in front of it, Vivien looked at the "reading horse" with a blank expression.
......
The army of the undead has completely surrounded the top of the dragon.
The Golden Dragon Clan occupies a corner of the encirclement, but only a corner. They are entrenched on the top of the mountain, on the cliff, on the mountainside. Densely packed.
Hordes of bone dragons flew around the main peak of the Dragon's Peak.
Hordes of the undead were shouting, pulling, and doing some kind of work, as if something was being built.
Richie stood on top of a cliff in the midst of the undead, quietly watching the top of the dragon. One hand pressed against the hilt of the sword, motionless, like a statue, letting the wind blow past him.
On the other side, it was the black dragon clan who had already been extremely anxious.
The top of the dragon looks like a huge mountain.
Why does it look like it's not just a huge mountain?
Because under normal circumstances, standing on land, you can only see its "base". Beneath the clouds, it looks like an unimaginably large, towering mountain.
In fact, if you fly over the clouds, you will see that it has countless mountains, just like the legendary nine-headed dragon. Steep peaks rise from the clouds, like pillars. It was crawling with black dragons.
The besieged black dragons are in a state of extreme anxiety.
"We must kill him! He must be punished for his mistakes!"
"I think that's what he thinks too......"
"Maybe we should surprise him and take advantage of his ...... when he doesn't pay attention."
"Thank goodness for the undead not looking? His eyes never left us for a moment. β
"Then what should we do? The traitors from the Golden Dragon have joined them!"
"Now only heaven and hell can save us, but I don't know if they are willing to do it. β
At this moment, no black dragon felt that their opponent was a "three-year-old child". Because they have seen the horror of this "three-year-old child".
Attacking Gray, the Lich King, was a huge mistake. This has almost become the consensus of the entire Black Dragon Clan, but no one dares to mention it.
