End of the Magic Era

Chapter 1358 - City's Fall



Chapter 1358: City’s Fall

Facing the army of Blood Elves, Dalton coldly aimed his glowing staff at them.

“Judgment of Light!”

Immediately, the permeating holy light in the sky turned into sharp swords of light that crossed the sky. The swords gathered into a torrent, and crushed the army of Blood Elves.

The torrent hit the shadows in the sky in a corner. Then, part of the shadows became missing. Countless blackened pieces fell from the sky. Many of the Blood Elves were torn to shreds along with their mounts and purged by the holy light.

The army of Blood Elves dispersed into a dozen smaller teams, and continued charging.

Levis and Danason began to take action too.

Danason patted the head of the beast next to him. Instantly, the lion-like beast expanded, and turned into a behemoth 100 meters long in only one second.

The mane around its neck turned into hard armor too, while its glittering body was covered in scales. Its snake-like tail transformed into a thick venomous serpent that hissed at the incoming Blood Elf riders.

Immediately, the weird birds that the Blood Elves were riding fell to the ground, screaming. Many of them were killed, and their souls were torn to shreds.

Looking at the battle in the sky, Enderfa was slightly surprised.

“Damn it, I should’ve realized that it’s a Snake Tail Beast. I didn’t know that the tail had the power to directly attack souls. How can those birds which are only slightly higher than level 30 resist a Snake Tail Beast?”

The Snake Tail Beasts were strange beasts. Without their tails, they would be just normal beasts even if they were in the Heaven Rank. However, if they had tails, the latter would be their fatal weapons.

Every Snake Tail Beast’s tail contained a different power. The Snake Tail Beast that Danason had contracted was obviously one of the strongest ones. It had the power to tear apart souls.

For beasts, it was impossible to resist such an attack…

A lot of the birds’ souls were torn apart. The Blood Elves’ attack was disrupted again. At this moment, Danason marched to meet the Blood Elves while riding on the Snake Tail Beast’s head.

Levis chanted a spell, raising tornadoes in the sky. The tornadoes spun around each other, sucking in everything within a kilometer.

After the tornadoes appeared, the wind in the sky became more and more powerful. A lot of the Blood Elves were pushed by the wind into tornadoes and ripped apart.

The battle was over very quickly. Now that three level-5 Heaven Rank experts had taken action in person, the three legions of Blood Elves were just a cup of cake for them. In only 10 minutes, the Blood Elves had suffered such a heavy loss that only the experts survived.

The experts obviously knew that it was impossible to continue the attack. They led the remaining Blood Elves to escape in the direction they came from.

Dalton had become crazy while fighting. He turned into a streak of light and chased after them, launching pillars of holy light from the sky and killing the Blood Elves. Levis and Dalton also knew that they would attack the Blood Elves’ city soon, and those Blood Elves would be their enemies if they survived.

The three level-5 Heaven Rank experts chased 10,000 Blood Elves in the sky with their subordinates. Together, there were at least 20 Heaven Rank experts.

There were 20 Heaven Rank experts in the Blood Elves’ army too, but their levels were low, and they couldn’t possibly resist the human beings.

Lin Yun watched the battle for a while, and then stopped looking. The Blood Elves were strong in the underground world because the Void Blood Pool in their cities could provide a lot of mana for them, which made them invincible in the underground world.

If they could defeat their enemy, they fought; if they couldn’t, they went back to their cities. As time went by, the Blood Elves gradually rose.

Half an hour later, Danason and Levis flew back. They had chased the Blood Elves for dozens of kilometers. The surviving Blood Elves had already dispersed, and couldn’t all be killed, so they came back.

Dalton, on the other hand, was still hunting the Blood Elves. Obviously, he wanted to vent his fury.

Lin Yun didn’t care what Dalton was doing. He considered how to conquer the Blood Elves’ city that was next to the relics they were going to explore. It was impossible to leave the city unconquered.

He had to figure out a way to let the Blood Elves react less strongly. There were experts among the Blood Elves too.

Every city that had a Void Blood Pool was a big settlement that contained powerful defense. The Blood Elves’ capital was definitely capable of resisting level-8 and even level-9 Heaven Rank experts. Only the mages who were able to ignite the God Fire could possibly rip apart its defense.

The other cities weren’t as sturdy.

However, it was said that it had been hundreds of years since any Blood Elf cities were conquered. The last of the Blood Elves’ cities he destroyed was quite remote. It wouldn’t be easy to conquer a big one.

The relics might contain important leads about the 73rd God’s reincarnation or critical items that might lead him to the 73rd God. He had to go to the place of relics.

How could he make the Blood Elves think that he was only retaliating so that they wouldn’t overreact?

While he was considering the question, Darri came again.

“Great Sir Merlin, another minotaur tribe learned that some great dragons defeated the Blood Elves. They’re here to pledge loyalty…”

Before Darri finished, a brilliant idea had occurred to Lin Yun.

Yes, a dragon. My identity is a powerful dragon in the underground world. It’s only natural that the dragon retaliates after being threatened. If the Blood Elves are most proud of their city defense, then I’ll just rip apart their city defense.

I’ll just break the city defenses, but not destroy the cities. After I break the defenses of multiple cities, the Blood Elves won’t feel surprised when I come to the last city.

After all, the pure-blood dragons in the underground world were not to be offended. If one of them came for revenge after being insulted by the Blood Elves, they would have to hold back unless the dragon crossed the line.

If the thing got too big, it was impossible that the local dragons would stand aside. While there weren’t many pure-blood dragons, there were a lot of creatures who carried dragon bloodlines. If the pure-blood dragons summoned them to fight the Blood Elves, the Blood Elves would surely suffer a heavy loss.

If he simply broke the defenses of several cities, the top experts of the Blood Elves probably wouldn’t feel too offended.

Thinking about that, Lin Yun told the idea to the three forces. All of them would split up and attack the Blood Elves’ cities randomly. They would march to the next city after a city’s defenses were broken.

That was purely a slap in the face. But if it was done by a pure-blood dragon, the Blood Elves surely wouldn’t want the thing to get too serious…

The three forces all accepted the strategy. After all, their common target was the relics of gods. Nobody really wanted to wage a total war upon the Blood Elves.

There was no telling if there were level-9 Heaven Rank experts in the Blood Elves’ tribe, but there were surely level-7 Heaven Rank ones. If those experts were attracted here, everybody would have to escape. If their objective was exposed, they wouldn’t get a chance to explore the relics, not until their main troops came to the underground world, and conquered those cities…

By then, it wouldn’t be the four forces, but at least 10 forces that would share the relics. Also, it was possible that none of the four forces here would get a share…

After all, the underground world was too important. The most powerful forces of Noscent would definitely intervene.

After they agreed upon the plan, Lin Yun asked his underground subordinates to announce that two merciful and powerful pure-blood dragons would retaliate against the Blood Elves for being insulted for no good reason, and that they would teach the Blood Elves a lesson.

He then let Reina wander around the Blood Elves’ territory in her original form. As time went by, before he took any action yet, some other dragons heard the news, and appeared near the Blood Elves. Some hybrid dragons even attacked the Blood Elves.

The conflicts escalated. In the end, a short-tempered black dragon heard of the matter, and attacked one of the Blood Elves’ cities. Confrontations began. The black dragon tore apart the city’s defenses that the Blood Elves were proud of, but only spouted a few mouthfuls of flames and left.

Lin Yun took action too. The three forces split up and attacked the Blood Elves’ cities. Lin Yun asked the five magic battleships to attack different cities.

The defenses of some smaller cities could be torn apart by the magic battleships’ secondary cannons.

In a day, the defenses of more than 20 of the Blood Elves’ cities were shattered, and the number was growing. They were marching forward from the edge of the desert.

The cities’ defenses were broken, but they were not conquered, although they were no different from being conquered. The city defenses were what the Blood Elves were the proudest of. Without the defenses, the Blood Elves in the city didn’t even have the courage to counterattack. They could only watch the enemies tear apart the defenses, and then swagger away.

Just as expected, after a few pure-blood dragons and a lot of hybrid dragons appeared, the Blood Elves fell silent. At least, there was no reaction from the Blood Elves’ capital.

The pure-blood dragons only tore apart the defenses of several cities for being insulted and attacked. That was no big deal. Were they going to declare war on the pure-blood dragons for that?

After five days, Lin Yun reached the city that was close to the relics.

Things had turned big during the five days. Two of the Blood Elves’ cities were razed to the ground by angry dragons. The pure-blood dragons had rarely taken action together like they did this time, mostly because they had been angry with the arrogant Blood Elves for a long time. Not only had the subdragons been hunted by the Blood Elves, but even the pure-blood dragons had been attacked many times too.

This incident was just a trigger. A pure-blood dragon attacked one of the Blood Elves’ cities in fury, and set a bad example. Then, another few bad-tempered pure-blood dragons attacked to vent their fury. The subdragons that carried dragon bloodlines burst into an outrage too.

Although the subdragons had a huge population, they were not nearly as strong as the pure-blood dragons. Very few of them could reach the Heaven Rank. However, their population was big, which was good enough….

A huge number of subdragons gathered, and attacked the Blood Elves’ cities. As more and more cities were razed to the ground, the Blood Elves couldn’t stay silent any longer. A war had begun. All the conflicts that had been brewing burst out.

A group of subdragons were slaughtered by a level-5 Heaven Rank Blood Elf while attacking a city, and one of the exasperated pure-blood dragons killed the elf.

After that, a level-7 Heaven Rank Blood Elf shot and killed the pure-blood fire dragon with the Bow of the Blood Moon.

At this moment, the war was already inevitable. The fire dragons were among the most short-tempered dragons. They would never let go of the death of their level-45 companion.

In the end, a level-49 pure-blood fire dragon invited another two level-49 pure-blood dragons to march to the Blood Elves’ capital, forcing the latter to activate its defenses. They had been fighting the top experts of the Blood Elves for an entire day, and it seemed that they would continue fighting.

With the three level-49 pure-blood dragons leading the charge, nobody cared why they started the war in the first place. Anyway, the arrogant Blood Elves had to die. The subdragons that were huge in number cared even less. They simply marched and attacked the enemies.

The total war between the dragons and the Blood Elves began…

Five magic battleships appeared in the sky above the city that was their real target. Of the five tiers of the Blood Elves’ cities, this one belonged to the second-last tier. It was only slightly bigger than the smallest cities, but it was in the heartland of the desert.

Lin Yun was quite surprised at the events that happened in the past week. He didn’t know what to say after he received the reports.

At the beginning, he simply needed an excuse to conquer the city so that he could explore the relics while keeping it a secret from the Blood Elves.

After all, the Blood Elves had Extraordinary Magic Tools and irresistible top experts. He thought that the level-48 Blood Elves were the strongest, but as it turned out, there was more than one level-49 Blood Elf.

Under such circumstances, if the Blood Elves weren’t distracted, or if they didn’t tolerate his sabotage, it would be impossible for him to explore the relics…

But thanks to the total war, he could do whatever he wanted…

Even if he were to conquer the city, there would be nothing the Blood Elves could do. They were too busy defending the big cities in the heartland to care about such small ones…

When the war between them and the dragons was over, the relics would probably have been explored.

The five magic battleships appeared simultaneously. The main cannons on three of them were launched at the same time. Thick pillars of light descended from the sky and hit the city’s shield. Terrifying mana waves spread out like a tsunami.

The gravity near the city seemed to be gone. Countless broken pieces were gradually floating. Dense ripples were surfacing on the city’s shield.

As the three dazzling pillars of light continued striking down, the crystals on the tops of the five pointy towers in the city became more and more dazzling. A dozen seconds later, they exploded at the same time. The city’s shield collapsed like a bubble.

The three pillars of light, without being blocked by the shield, hit the center of the city, and burnt the five defense towers to ashes quickly.

Losing the shield, the Blood Elves who lived in the city finally flew out and counterattacked. Then, that was it…

Countless flying alchemy puppets charged out of the magic battleships like swarms of locusts. They immediately drowned the Blood Elves’ city down below. All of the alchemy puppets were manufactured cannon fodder. They could already be automatically produced in the alchemy puppet base, unlike the advanced puppets, whose parts had to be created by living alchemists.

The flying alchemy puppets in the sky and the melee alchemy puppets on the ground that looked like ants approached the city. There were also spellcaster puppets, beast-shaped puppets, insect-shaped puppets, etc.

In the end, Xiuban charged with Carnage on his shoulder. It was impossible for the Blood Elves to defend the city at all. In only half an hour, the city on the ground had already fallen. The alchemy puppets had locked down the area in the radius of a dozen kilometers. Not a single Blood Elf could escape.

Also, Reina wandered in the sky in her original form as the dragon. She didn’t have to do anything else. The leadership of the Blood Elves had no time or energy to care about this small city.

They would rather not fight a pure-blood dragon over such a small city. They needed to protect the big cities in the rear.

10,000 Blood Elves were captured, and their mana was sealed. Then, they signed contracts that had been made in advance, and were thrown into the Natural Demiplane as laborers. With their help, the Demiplane was finally less short of hands.
