Capítulo 2848: Chapter 1560: Laughter in the Shadows (Part 2)
“Roar!”
Accompanied by a “boom,” the Earth Dragon with a black crystal flashing on its forehead reacted sharply, a powerful aura of a half-step Tier 7 burst out suddenly as it tried to stand up.
However, before it could steady itself, the Ear-wing Erosion Eraser, expressionless, already laid her crystal-clustered slender hand on its hideous dragon head, vast and terrifying energy frantically gathering between her fingers.
With a muffled “bang,” the enormous dragon head instantly exploded along with its energy barrier, leaving only half of its massive body crashing to the ground,
“Emperor of the Human Race, the scene you see now is just the flattest part of your journey. The rugged path is still ahead; how long do you think you can last?”
The Ear-wing Erosion Eraser stood atop the swiftly dissipating Earth Dragon remains, letting the foul-smelling black filth wash from beneath her feet.
…
Sprinting along the ancient streets of Dawn Fortress, when Leo Ray and his company arrived on the fortress walls, those furiously besieging “Erosions” and Earth Dragons started retreating like a tide, burrowing back into their originating caves.
From the momentum, it could clearly be seen, although the enemy numbers here were larger, their overall strength was far inferior to those in the earlier trap, undoubtedly indicating this was merely a feint while their main force had been obliterated by us.
“We must not give them a chance to breathe!”
Realizing this in his heart, Leo Ray hesitated not and promptly ordered a pursuit.
Under the pursuit of Leo Ray and a group of main force powerhouses, a large number of Erosions and parasitic Earth Dragons fell across the pits, while the remainder continued a hasty retreat, reaching the vicinity of an extremely peculiar river.
The river appeared like flowing metal, entirely bright silver, looking incredibly textured, somewhat like flowing mercury, continuously boiling.
The tumultuous energy waves emitted were as sharp as blades, hissing by the ears, making almost everyone present feel their scalp tingle.
“Your Majesty, this seems to be the product of the magical ley lines explosion, and it’s unexpectedly a rare metal magical ley line.”
Lila’s fair complexion showed a hint of astonishment, her gaze falling on those Erosions and parasitic Earth Dragons attempting to approach the silver river, blurting out: “They want to escape back to the depths of the magical ley lines!”
“Heh, dream on!”
Moli, evidently well-prepared, swung her magic wand sharply, collapsing space ahead entirely, directly imprisoning the last batch of enemies on the spot.
“Silver Radiance Lightning!”
“Elemental Bombardment!”
And the reaction of Fei’er and other main force powerhouses alongside the Stone Spirits was exceedingly swift, dense magic bullet screens like shadows chasing the opponent.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Amidst an extended series of deafening rumbles, when the pervasive magic radiance gradually faded, the view revealed only pools of dark liquid spreading everywhere.
As everyone advanced to clean the battlefield, the bubbling silver river also began a rapid retreat, quickly disappearing entirely, leaving only a gigantic abyss.
It was evident that amid the ravage of the magical ley lines explosion, almost the whole abyss had crystallized, flickering under the illuminated light ball, like a brand new magic ore vein.
Indeed, quite a few magic ore veins were formed owing to the explosions of magical ley lines, albeit the odds of forming high-quality magic ore veins were minuscule due to influences from energy particle density, soil structure, and various other factors.
“Your Majesty, the magical ley lines explosion has completely ended!”
After focusing and perceiving for a while, Lila’s fair face was full of excitement, nearly throwing herself at Leo Ray.
This undoubtedly indicated the fatal crisis brought by “Erosions” had entirely drawn its curtain! As the Stone Giant Clan Chief, she no longer needed to worry about the surrounding villages and even the royal court being threatened.
Most crucially, with Leo Ray sharing the power, the Stone Giants effectively possessed the power to counter “Erosions,” even any remaining enemies would no longer stir any trouble!
Thinking this, both Lila and Kira beside her wore expressions of great excitement.
Until this moment, they finally confirmed entirely that submitting to Your Majesty was undoubtedly the greatest honor for Stone Giants! Only under Your Majesty’s protection could Stone Giants ascend higher!
While Lila and her sister’s hearts were turbulent, Leo Ray looked at the vast crystal abyss, first instructing Crisis and Broy and others to see if there were any mining values, then led everyone back to Dawn Fortress.
Upon arriving at the fortress gate, not only were there Stone Giant warriors and magic knight golems, but Luns and others also reappeared.
“Thank Your Majesty for saving us, for saving this Dawn Fortress!”
Despite the old knight’s breath still being quite weak, he respectfully knelt, expressing his inner thoughts through action.
Had Leo Ray not led the numerous powerhouses to intervene in time, the core crystal of Gray Thorn Castle carrying Luns and others would have long been eroded, the outcome self-explanatory.
“Thank Your Majesty for helping Stone Giants through this deadly crisis!”
Lila, already deeply grateful, led Kira, Payton, and other Stone Giant warriors to place a hand on their chests, all bowing at Leo Ray’s feet.
At that moment, the scene of numerous knights and Stone Giants saluting with Leo Ray at its center was grand, with the crisp sound of clashing armor echoing one after another.
“You all need not do this, our capability to sway victory’s scales isn’t solely by my power, but also because you have defended everything with all your might, that’s all.”
Leo Ray slightly raised his hand, gesturing everyone to rise.
After which, Leo Ray quickly took control of the other two Gray Thorn Castles, officially becoming the owner of the entire Dawn Fortress, as for the other two damaged ones, Leo Ray had thoroughly inspected them.
Both were damaged not over 70%, indicating the potential for restoration, albeit currently lacking some essential resources.
Upon completing all this, Leo Ray summoned Luns and other old knights, as the previous plan suggested, if possible, those old soldiers who defended for three thousand years should return to the present Human Domain for a visit.
However, after a series of tests, Leo Ray discovered further.
The activity range of the old knights and others was quite expansive, easily covering the entire Stone Giant and Half-Titan realm, and could even reach the Dark Elves’ mines location, but still a certain distance from the Human Domain.
After some thinking, Leo Ray considered a new idea, which was to see if the Lord’s talent could be used to relocate the entire Dawn Fortress to the Human Domain, though most such Lord’s talents were only effective on territories and small towns, with low talent level, temporarily unable to move such a massive fortress.
After several twists, Leo Ray had to temporarily shelve this notion.
Thinking thoroughly, if the fortress were relocated to the Human Domain now, it would undoubtedly lose the elite combat power of the three Tier 5 Armies, hence, temporary deployment in place was not necessarily a bad thing.
“Apologies, old General, you all must continue guarding here a while longer.”
At the main gate of Dawn Fortress, Leo Ray helplessly smiled at the weary-faced Luns and others.
“Your Majesty, what do you mean by this, where Your Majesty is present, that is the Human Domain, we have already returned home!”
Luns’ resolute face brimmed with a smile that had vanished for three thousand years, saluting with hand on chest: “Despite my age, sword and spear remain sharp, please Your Majesty command us as needed!”
Upon Luns’ words, other old knights concurred in unison.
“Then I entrust you all with future tasks.”
Leo Ray nodded heavily, gently patting the shoulder armor of the old knight.
Next, it was time to head to the Half-Titan domain.
But before Leo Ray could begin action, an unexpected message came through.
