Chapter 13: Death

The dragon was like a raging wind, and the airships scattered everywhere they went.

No airship could stand up to a dragon's onslaught, and it was large enough to take down the flagship of a fleet.

And at the same time, the dragon's breath still hasn't stopped.

It was like a natural disaster, or a flood, a wave of destruction that flooded the city, and the fleet could only protect itself.

Compared to the dragon's breath, the dragon's body becomes a real threat, and in airship air combat, this is a non-existent tactic, so the fleet has no means of countering it at all.

The situation has taken a turn for the worse.

"Defense!"

Dragon's Breath never deviated from its greatest goal, after all, the huge white airship had inflicted unforgettable damage on the dragon. But the Royal One never fell, and the frigate's traction beam stopped the terrifying blood-red pillars of light again and again.

But now, only half of the frigates remain.

The frigates themselves could not enjoy such tight defenses, and they did not have the maneuverability of small airships, and in the face of the impact of dragons, they could only fall.

"Assess!"

"Unscathed!"

The Magic Advisors didn't care about affecting morale anymore, and now everyone could see that even after being purged by such a horrific attack, the dragon was actually unharmed, and the only thing the fleet had done so far was to provoke the monster.

"The main artillery stopped attacking and opened the swarm. ”

It's a complete adventure, and the swarms on the flagships have always been used for ground attacks, and while they're nimble and small, they can't necessarily keep up with the speed of the dragons.

But now the time has to take the risk, the dragon must be defeated before the frigate is all down, otherwise the result will be the fall of the flagship, which is the defeat of the entire Imperial Air Force, endless shame.

The dragon streaked across the sky at incredible speed.

Then a swarm of black shadows appeared in front of it, like harmless flying insects gathered at the water's edge in summer, small and fragile, and their lives were pitifully short.

The shadow quickly flew towards the dragon, but the beast turned a blind eye, and to it, these things were too small to be a threat.

The insects then dropped countless bombs on the dragon.

It was a non-magical bomb, the latest research from the steam area, which relied on combustion to create destructive power, the same principle as the steam engine, so it was highly hoped, and the military department believed that it could penetrate most magical protections.

And now, the bomb did work.

Like a sugar cube eaten by ants, a visible wound appeared on the dragon's back, and pure black blood flowed out and fell towards the burning city.

Everyone who saw all this cheered, for the first time, humanity had finally hurt this monster, and hope had suddenly risen from the dark abyss.

Then the dragon let out a terrifying howl.

The unresponsive monster roared with its mouth wide open and frantically danced its head wildly, the blood-red dragon's breath like a sharp sword, dancing in the sky, and the airship that had no time to dodge was burned to ashes, and the wreckage fell to the ground like a heavy rain.

"Defense!"

It was too late, the terrifying attack was almost unstoppable, and almost in an instant there were only two frigates left.

Then, miraculously, the Royal One was unharmed.

It was only then that the frightened Magic Advisor realized that the dragon's breath was chasing the swarm, and therefore did not land on the flagship.

"Release all the fleets, and retreat!"

While this would expose the entire city to attack, any price would be acceptable for victory. Without Royal One, the fleet would not be able to replenish firepower, which is the only force that can harm dragons right now.

"Retreat. ”

The captain finally gave the order, and the fleet was almost dead and wounded, and a temporary retreat was at least a little better than a fall from the flagship.

The dragon turned a blind eye to this, and poured out its fury on the swarm like a poor man ravaged by mosquitoes, trying his best but with no chance of victory.

Then the dragon began to fall.

The beast flew towards the ground as if it had committed suicide, falling to the ground at a terrifying speed.

Then a loud bang rang through the city.

The earthquake trembled, and the terrifying shock wave carried dust mixed with the dust from the ruins and the ashes of the burned corpses, which were carried around by the wind.

The fleet is in hot pursuit.

They are not controlled by humans, but use a magic spell to determine their target, and never give up until the command to transfer the target is given.

After a brief runaway of control blown away by the wind, the group continued to dive, heading straight for the dragon on the ground.

Then the black beast rose from the ground and slowly spread its wings.

On the ground swept by the wind, countless black phantoms slowly rose.

It was the scene of everyone's nightmare, and from the ground rose a myriad of ghosts, pulled, twisted, wailing, screaming, all under the wings of the black dragon, like a black spring, supporting the dragon back into the sky.

The dragon's movements became incomparably slower, as the weight of the burden lay on it.

Spirits hover in the air, flying, tearing to shreds everything that comes near the dragon.

Now, the beast stood in the middle of the sky, countless necromancers flying on its wings, like the Grim Reaper.

"What's that?"

The survivors of the city stopped crying and running, clung to the fear and stayed where they were.

Then a wave of light lit up from above the Essence Zone.

It was a massive spell activating, and the essence passed through the air, leaving a pale color before dissipating.

The light began to spread across the sky, like standing water on the roof of a royal garden greenhouse when it rained, slowly spreading along the surface of one hemisphere.

Then, in a few more places in the city, the light appeared, and then it began to spread, connecting with the previous light and merging into one.

Finally, when all the light stopped spreading, what appeared was a transparent shield that enveloped the entire city.

"The Central Tower has been restored!"

Everyone was cheering, they still didn't know if they would survive the disaster, but everyone saw hope.

In the sky, a light blue grid began to spread, and thin silk threads traveled across the finished shield, weaving a large net.

The dragon turned a blind eye to this.

It slowly ascended with the wraith, and again, the dragon's breath chased after the fleeing airship.

But the red glow was fleeting.

The moment the blood-red light appeared, a magic appeared at the same time, and the terrifying power was completely defended and completely annihilated in the air.

This is the magic that guards Ruidu City, which can only be activated in wartime, mobilizing the power of the entire essence area, countering and annihilating the attack at the moment it appears.
