Chapter 287 An Intense Moment!

[Tell your forces that I’m coming in. Let them go towards the flying big chariot. I’ll be waiting for them] I sent over to the two, hopefully their forces inside didn’t have big losses.

[Be careful, each city has ten gates… Five over the ground and five underwater] Fang seemed to feel a little regretful of how he acted before, so he tried to amend this situation by warning me like this.

But dude… It wasn’t a slip of your tongue. This was just a mere moment of honesty while you lost control over yourself for a brief second. I was lucky to see that part of you, and I promise you to put you back on the right track with my next lesson.

But ten gates? Even when they took over normal gates inside each city, those Hectors didn’t abandon their initial plan indeed.

Very cautious and very hard to deal with race, I could admit that. But let’s see… Last time I knew how to crash those gates despite paying such a large price. And this time I hoped to get control over these without the need to lose much force.

Yet I had to summon my Albany city monsters. Without their help, I’d be left powerless in front of the five underwater gates in each city.

Summoning them now would be pointless. I had to first clear the ground gates, take control over the entire three cities on the surface before going towards any underwater gates.

Besides this time I had three more races to worry about. Damn! This fight was just too complicated and seemed a bit hard.

I controlled my chariot and let it fly over the shield at a moderate speed. Despite having the chariot run over the fully powered version, I had to make its speed look slow as a snail.

I just wanted to test things, and see if the enemy had any anti-aerial attack weapons inside the city.

*Fwoosh!* *Fwoosh!* *Fwoosh!*

Just as I got near the hole of Cambridge city, I noticed the sudden flushing of the shield at several points. Without the need to ask or wait to see, I operated my chariot and let it fly faster, evading all the incoming attacks.

The attacks all passed and hit the empty air. They were all in the form of pillars of red and yellow lights, passing fast at a light speed.

If I was too late to move even for one second, I’d get hit by these light attacks for sure. Despite my curiosity to test the strength of these lights, I didn’t stop or decelerate my chariot at all.

The hole was just around the corner, yet I didn’t directly head towards it. If the enemy was ready for my chariot in such a way, then it would be only logical to think he would fortify that hole.

Just going directly through it would result in a bad ending for me. Instead I kept flying around the hole, while the pillars of lights kept flashing, trying to get me in vain.

“Go,” I pointed towards a group of ten dragons, “test that hole and kill anyone stopping you there.”

“Roar!”

They all roared in unison, and before they’d flap a wing, I added, “use your ultimate attacks from head on, don’t leave anyone alive.”

I knew doing this would render them useless after that. The dragon’s ultimate attack was so fierce, yet it came at the cost of a prolonged weakening time.

Unlike my fallen gods, these dragons couldn’t consume stat points or utilise them for their big move. So I rarely depended on their ultimate breath, only using the normal breaths most of the time.

But now I couldn’t tolerate failing in killing their enemies. So I had to use their big moves from the beginning. Even if the forces stationed at the hole weren’t that strong, and I hardly believed that, then I’d only lose ten dragons.

It was a fair price, one that I could live with.

I watched my dragons move towards the opening. Their speed was fast, yet it wasn’t on par with my chariot.

Just before they could reach the opening, the entire rim of it shone brightly all of sudden. It looked as if the entire ring was set on fire, emitting a dazzling red and yellow terrifying ring of light.

Three dragons were caught in this attack. I watched two burnt into ash almost instantly while the last one was thrown back, flying like it was a feather in a storm.

Damn! These pillars of lights weren’t something I’d dream of facing! I knew such an attack was much fiercer than the random attacks that kept chasing my chariot. Yet it was enough to kill two of my dragons, something that never happened before!

That ring shaped attack didn’t last much longer than one minute. It seemed to be so much costly on my enemies, good news for me.

“Attack!” Even after losing three of them, two dead and the last was called back into my inventory, I didn’t even think about calling off the attack.

Instead I shouted, pointing my glaive to the front, giving the order for my dragons to push forward.

And then everything happened so damn fast!

The dragons listened to my earlier words. They seemed to also feel the threat of going through this hole. So even before they could pass it, they all used their ultimate breaths.

The attacks landed like torrents, flooding everything beneath and below the hole. At the same time, just as the attack was launched, another was also fired at my dragons.

Unlike the pillars of light and that deadly ring, this attack came in the form of long spears made from special alloy.

The spears were almost ten metres in length, all were in dark brown colours. Their speed was really terrifying. Out of the eight dragons passing through the hole, five were slower and got stabbed by many spears.
