The quiet night sky was filled with stars, and the bright moonlight fell on the earth, casting everything under the moonlit night with a layer of silvery white. It also reflected a towering mountain peak shrouded in mist, hazy and mysterious.
This is Wumeng Peak.
Although the moonlight is clear, it still cannot penetrate the fog here, making the entire area look extremely unpredictable.
In the open space at the foot of Wumeng Peak, an invisible giant city hidden in the fog is as silent as a beast that has been dormant for a long time, but the road ahead is still vast, full of unknowns and dangers.
Lei Xiao stood on the wall of Ice Stone City, staring at the thick fog just around the corner.
Although blocked by the absolute defense barrier, these dense fogs that are within reach cannot get even close to here, but this vague feeling of not being able to see the way forward still makes people feel uneasy.
Lei Xiao withdrew his gaze and looked at the surrounding human soldiers who were waiting in formation.
Although the soldiers who followed him in the north and south seemed to be in strict formation and covered the entire city wall in darkness, one could still feel an uneasy atmosphere quietly spreading.
After all, most of the soldiers responsible for garrisoning Ice Stone City are still at the second level. As long as they step out of the city, it is almost equal to destruction.
"Your Majesty the Human Race, I have left an elite dragon mirage-busting army here. As soon as the battle begins, we can disperse the fog over the city to the greatest extent, giving the city a certain air defense capability."
Broy, who was standing next to Lei Xiao, took a step forward, nodded and said: "As for the other dwarf legions, they are all on standby at designated positions.
This time, the dwarves dispatched a total of 11 legions, including 1 quasi-fourth-level legion with all members of level three or above but carrying alchemy puppets of level four or above, and 10 legions with all members and alchemy puppets at level three.
.
After hundreds of years of research, these legions all have the ability to dispel dragon mirages. They can undoubtedly be responsible for dispelling dragon mirages in the surrounding area while supporting other friendly forces.
However, because most of the dwarf soldiers are physically strong, their movement speed in the mountains is relatively limited, and it is difficult to climb such a peak in a short time. Therefore, most of them are on standby in the city until other friendly troops are in the dragon lair.
After establishing a defensive base, you can directly reach the battlefield through the portal.
As he collects them every day, the number of teleportation foundation stones in Lei Xiao's hands naturally increases, enough to build a considerable number of teleportation gates for the use of himself and his allies.
It is worth mentioning that through Lei Xiao’s research, further discoveries have been made.
As long as the teleportation cornerstone is not destroyed, the teleportation gate can be activated and deactivated at will. It is not a one-time product, which undoubtedly reduces Lei Xiao's consumption to a great extent.
"Your Majesty the Human Race, the wood goblin army is all ready!"
Kris hovered next to Lei Xiao and nodded heavily as well.
The Wood Goblin has dispatched a total of 15 legions, including 10 well-trained third-level legions, and 5 newly promoted third-level legions selected from 10 reserve pre-third-level legions. This is already what the Wood Goblin can do.
The most powerful force produced.
Unlike the dwarfs, the wood elves, who are light and capable of flying, are naturally not afraid of heights, so all of them can attack.
"Your Majesty the human race, the tree people are also ready to go."
Shuert gently stroked his gray beard, and his hoarse voice boiled with fighting spirit.
Compared with the relatively large number of wood elves and dwarves, the sparse treants dispatched a total of 2 fourth-level legions, including almost all the strong treants above the fourth level.
Although the number of people is relatively limited, judging from the overall combat strength, it is undoubtedly the most powerful one.
After hearing the reports from the three allied commanders, Lei Xiao, the commander-in-chief, nodded slightly.
The 10 third-level human legions as reserves are also ready, and many powerful human beings, including himself, are gearing up and ready to attack.
"Your Majesty, the Human Race, the Movie Market is monitoring the patrolling red dragons, please rest assured!"
The manager's voice also came from the contact stone.
"Thank you for your hard work, the time for the stars to shine has arrived, so let's set off now."
Lei Xiao nodded to everyone, and immediately he was the first to bear the brunt and walked in front of everyone.
Under the city wall, well-formed legions were already lined up, waiting for the city gate to open.
At a glance, whether it is the dwarf military formation manipulating the alchemy puppets, the imposing tree man military formation, or the wood goblin military formation suspended in mid-air, they all look high-spirited.
Although the future is uncertain, this is the first time that the three major forces on this land and the human race have joined forces. Coupled with Lei Xiao's comprehensive change of clothes, it is not surprising that morale is so high, even if the opponents he faces
, a group of dragons that had defeated them once.
It is worth mentioning that in order to reach the destination as soon as possible, Lei Xiao also provided the army with a sufficient amount of movement-accelerating potions to further increase everyone's movement speed.
"Open the door and march forward."
Following Lei Xiao's order, the giant city gate slowly opened silently, and a thick foggy outside world came into view for everyone present.
I saw the thick fog constantly rolling back and forth in front of me, like a bottomless abyss of another kind. It was extremely strange, as if it could easily swallow everyone.
"Your Majesty the Human Race, according to the planned plan, leave the task of opening up the way forward to us."
The heavily armed Cornette held a staff and nodded heavily to Lei Xiao.
The elves are very familiar with this mountain peak, and they also know the climbing path clearly, so what the elves need to do is not only to dispel the dragon mirage, but also to be a guide to guide the way forward.
"Be sure to act cautiously so as not to be noticed by your opponent."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and signaled Cornette to start taking action.
Under Lei Xiao's order, Cornette bore the brunt and was the first to walk out of the city gate.
Behind the dwarf prince, there were also a group of dwarf soldiers in robes who lined up neatly and also walked towards the outside of the city.
Next to each dwarf is a special humanoid gray alchemy puppet.
This kind of alchemy puppet does not wear weapons and is not strong. Instead, it is tall and slender, just like a special mobile magic tower.
Under the gaze of everyone inside the door, and under the command of Cornette, the gray-robed dwarf soldiers quickly divided into two teams on the left and right, and headed towards the depths of the thick fog in the distance with their respective alchemy puppets.
Along with the rapid pace of the elves, taking their position as the boundary, the thick fog in front of them that was originally blinding began to slowly dissipate, and finally formed a spacious road.
The dwarf soldiers who followed also ordered the alchemy puppets to stand at the boundaries of the road to maintain the smooth flow of the road and prevent the fog on the left and right sides from spreading again.
Seeing this rather miraculous scene, the other soldiers in the city couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, and their morale became even higher.
"Let's go too."
Seeing that the road opened by the dwarfs extended all the way to the winding mountain, Lei Xiao gave the order to move forward.
For a moment, the entire city suddenly became tense. With the two fourth-level tree man legions as the vanguard, the black torrent of steel began to flow out in order, heading towards the destination on the top of the mountain.
At the front of the team, naturally, were a group of commanders and strong men headed by Lei Xiao.
While moving forward, Lei Xiao noticed further.
On both sides of the road dispersed by the dwarves, there is still a scene filled with thick fog. Sometimes you can see strange and distorted pictures and the black shadows of huge objects lingering in them. Those are obviously the scenes and physical illusions in the dragon mirage.
.
However, since the fog on the road has been dispelled, even the physical illusion will not come close to here.
The dwarf soldiers stationed at the edge of the road obviously also have some kind of hiding method, making those physical illusions that occasionally pass by turn a blind eye.
All in all, under the escort of the dwarves, our army moved unimpeded through the dragon mirage and advanced rapidly towards the depths of the mountain.
The most important thing is that the fog above the road has not been completely dispelled, but has only opened up a tunnel-like road.
In other words, even if you take a bird's-eye view from high in the sky, the thick fog will block your sight and you will not be able to find traces of the army.
"Is this thick fog both an obstacle to us and a barrier to cover our progress? It's quite interesting."
Lei Xiao's eyes moved and fell on Broy beside him, and he smiled and said: "Your Majesty the dwarf, thanks to the help of the dwarf this time."
"Your Majesty, you are welcome. The dwarves have been living in this foggy area since the Blank Age. They have also lived next to dragon mirages for hundreds of years. They naturally know some ways to dispel the fog. Perhaps it is because of this.
Because of the rich concentration of illusion energy particles in this area, the dwarves have also given birth to many strong men who are proficient in illusion."
Broy also smiled and responded: "It's not a big deal, it's just the environment."
"Your Majesty the Dwarf is too modest. Without the wisdom and perseverance of the Dwarf, the army would not have been able to pass through here so smoothly."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and said: "Whether it is this battle or the future, the dwarfs will be our inseparable partners and robes."
At this time, Lei Xiao could clearly feel that although the young dwarf king appeared calm on the surface, judging from his somewhat rapid breathing, it was obvious that he was in an extremely nervous state.
It's no wonder that since the decisive battle with the dragons, the dwarves have not used swords for five hundred years, and the young king has never been on the battlefield. It is not surprising that this situation occurs.
Therefore, Lei Xiao's words were more to calm down the young dwarf king.
"With these words from His Majesty the Human Race, I feel relieved and warm in my heart."
Broi was obviously aware of Lei Xiao's intention. He took a deep breath slowly and then said with firm eyes: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Back then, my father was able to face the dragons alone without being timid. Although I fought
His experience is limited, but his courage is no less than that of the previous king, and the dwarves will never be afraid of their enemies."
Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded solemnly and said nothing else.
It didn't take long for us to reach the winding mountain road.
Based on the information previously provided by Broy and the terrain images displayed on the magic sand table, Lei Xiao already knew.
At that time, the dwarfs established many ore mining stations on Wumeng Peak, which extended to the top of the mountain. A complete and wide mountain road had been repaired here long ago.
However, due to the fact that no one has set foot on it for five hundred years, the lack of maintenance, and the deliberate destruction by opponents entrenched here, the road has been seriously damaged, and many places have collapsed and broken, making it impossible to move forward.
This extremely unfavorable situation, if placed in the past, could still have a certain impact on our army, but don't forget that the strength of our army is no longer what it used to be.
With the help of the wood fairies, magic plank roads and magic bridges surrounded by vines quickly blocked all the gaps and integrated with the original road.
Wood fairies who are good at using city-building techniques can quickly build a city that can withstand a million-strong army. Naturally, this is no problem.
Thanks to the closer cooperation between the dwarves and the wood elves, our army moved smoothly towards the mountain peak like a silent steel dragon.
Seeing that everything was going very smoothly, Lei Xiao did not relax at all, but became more cautious.
Lei Xiao clearly understands that our army is currently gathered on the winding mountain road. Once the opponent comes to attack from high altitude at this time, we will be in a dilemma and will be in an extremely passive position, or even completely.
The annihilation of the army is not impossible.
Beside Lei Xiao, whether it was Broy, Chris, or Shuerte, they were all obviously aware of this, and they did not dare to show any slights.
Fortunately, the manager and Shadow Market have been monitoring the surrounding patrolling dragons, so the commanders can feel a little more at ease.
As time went by, the two bright moons and stars in the night became more and more brilliant, and the main force of our army finally arrived near the entrance of the dragon's lair without any danger.
Lei Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked around. The fog here had also been dispersed by the dwarves who arrived in advance. However, because he was getting closer to the dragon mirage, everything still looked a bit hazy.
"Your Majesty, the human majesty, ahead is the entrance to the lair we selected. Compared to the other two entrances, the terrain here is relatively gentle, enough to accommodate a group of strong men to attack collectively and destroy the opponent's absolute defensive barrier in one fell swoop."
Cornette, who had been opening the road ahead, flew over, nodded to Lei Xiao and said: "The dragon mirages nearby have been suppressed by the dwarf soldiers."
"Thank you for your hard work. Time is running out. Let's start forming formations to prepare for the attack."
Lei Xiao did not hesitate and immediately began to direct.
However, within a high-level hidden barrier that we didn't notice at all, a pair of golden dragon pupils filled with malevolence shrank into a vertical bar, watching all this quietly.
