Including the general, there were seven or eight Lizard Tribe experts pouncing towards Smiller. The Lizard general had not expected Smiller, who had been gentle all this time, to break through the city in such a thunderous manner, catching him off guard. The Lizard Tribe had lived in Red Tark for many years and had no natural enemies on this land. Whether it was generals or soldiers, they lacked battle experience. Although they had trained on a daily basis, they were all armchair strategists.
If it had been a general with some battle experience defending the city, he would definitely not have allowed Smiller to cut through the beast horde, nor would he not have ordered experts to intercept Smiller when he reached the city. Even if he had sent the Lizard Tribe army to suppress the beast horde, even if he had sent experts to intercept Smiller when he appeared in front of the city, these measures would not have changed the situation. But at least he would not have been caught off guard by Smiller. Smiller might not have been able to break through the city so easily.
But now, it was too late for the Lizard general to regret. The hole in the city wall was equivalent to exposing Modo City to the enemy's line of sight. All he could do now was try his best to delay Smiller, then let the army in the city move out and attack the beast horde outside. Even if he used numbers to fill up the gap, he would exhaust Smiller's Origin Energy.
What made the Lizard general's heart go cold was that Allen had not made a move yet.
Just as they pounced towards Smiller, the latter pulled out the giant sword on his back. Then, the giant sword slashed towards a Lizard Tribe expert from afar. When the sword's shadow lingered in the air, the Lizard general felt as if time had stopped for a moment. That intense feeling made him look towards that expert. That expert's face was lifeless. Then, as if his body had been slashed by Smiller a few times, his body suddenly disintegrated. Bits and pieces of his body fell to the ground!
The Lizard general could not help but shiver.
He came to a stop and retreated even faster than he had pounced forward. Thus, his line of sight was blocked by the figures of his fellow Lizard experts. Then, these figures suddenly fell from different heights and scattered one after another. They had actually been easily chopped into pieces by Smiller.
If the Lizard general still did not know how powerful Smiller was, he would have lived all these years in vain. He screamed in his heart. How could there be such a terrifying person?
Smiller had killed these Lizard Tribe experts easily, but he had used up more Origin Energy than he had on the way here. But it was worth it. At the very least, the lizard general was scared out of his wits.
At this moment, Allen suddenly raised his head.
Bai, who was at the side, frowned in confusion. He felt a heavy pressure suddenly envelop his entire body, and then the speed at which his Origin Energy circulated became incomparably slow. It would be terrible if such a thing happened in battle. It meant that one's Origin Energy would be suppressed. Both the speed of one's attacks and the output of Origin Energy would be greatly reduced.
He could not help but look at Miller.
Allen said faintly, "Have you finally activated the home field's suppression ability?"
As soon as he finished speaking, symbols appeared in the sky above the battlefield. These symbols were arranged in a circle and spread out, covering the entire Crimson Canyon. This was a little like the ability Allen once possessed, Judgment Day, because those symbols were the words of Eboynes.
When the home field showed its suppression, Smiller experienced it the most. It was as if he was suddenly pressed down by a mountain, almost suffocating him. Under such circumstances, his only choice was to use Gu Dong Origin Energy to resist the suppression of the home field in exchange for the ability to move freely. However, in this way, the consumption of Origin Energy would increase exponentially. In such an environment where the home field was isolated from the void, being unable to absorb Origin Energy from the void was clearly a very disadvantageous matter for Smiller.
On the contrary, the lizard general's body soared with flames. Not only him, but the other lizard beasts and the lizard soldiers that were constantly pouring out of the city all flew around the flames. While suppressing the enemy, the home field also had the effect of increasing the Origin Energy of their own warriors. Under such circumstances, the attacking side was immediately forced into a disadvantageous position.
In this kind of disadvantage, Smiller was actually able to laugh. Then, he desperately circulated his Origin Energy. The Origin Energy in his body surged like a great river, and the pressure on his body suddenly lightened. However, Smiller knew that this method could not last long, and he did not intend to.
Smiller raised his sword, and the giant sword blossomed with lightning from the inside out. Just as the entire sword's outline disappeared into the lightning, a lightning dragon phantom appeared behind Smiller. The lightning dragon raised its head and was a hundred meters tall. When its wings spread out, it almost wrapped around the city walls of Modo City. That terrifying might surged out from the lightning dragon's body, causing all the lizard warriors and lizard beasts on the battlefield to stiffen. As for the bat lizards, they continuously fell from the sky.
At this moment, Smiller slashed down with his sword.
The blade of the sword spat out a river of lightning. The river of light rushed past, drowning countless warriors in it.
The lizard general screamed and rushed into the air with all his might, jumping out of the river of light.
Smiller raised his head and sneered at him.
Only then did the lizard general realize that something was wrong, and his entire body suddenly trembled. He lowered his head and saw the tip of the cone spear piercing through his chest. The cone spear that was nailed to the ground had pierced through his back at some unknown time and pierced through his body.
Only then did the general realize that the cone spear left on the ground was Smiller's backup.
Unfortunately, it was already useless. The unconscious corpse fell to the ground. When the river of light disappeared, a long black path remained on the ground that ran through the entire city. The general's corpse fell onto the black path, and the battlefield fell silent.
A faint sigh could be heard in the sky, and then the suppression of the home ground began to disappear. As the Eboynes characters in the sky dissipated, the lizard soldiers seemed to have received some order and began to withdraw from Modo City.
By the time Smiller pulled out the cone spear from the corpse, the lizard army had already run away, leaving behind an empty city and countless corpses.
When Allen and the others arrived at the city gate, Smiller took off his coiled horned helmet and knelt before Allen amidst the sea of blood and corpses. He lowered his head deeply.
Allen walked past him and said after a pause, "Not bad, but you could have done it faster, right?"
Smiller's body trembled, and he hurriedly said, "I was too showy, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Allen did not say anything and walked straight into Modo City.
After a while, Smiller dared to stand up. He could not understand Allen's intentions at all, and this made him fearful and fearful.
Modo City was a military fortress, and the streets were extremely narrow, barely allowing three people to pass through shoulder to shoulder. The distribution of the streets was complicated, and the city was built at the foot of a mountain. The buildings were distributed along the mountain. Allen arrived at the highest point in the city, and from here, he could see a vast forest like the Forest of Darkness stretching across the land outside the Crimson Canyon.
Within the forest, he could see many mountain peaks that were much taller than the forest, like stone spears pointing towards the sky. Behind the forest, the clouds hung low, and lightning struck down from the sky. The place was dark, as if even the sunlight had been completely blocked out.
"Ash Forest." The lizardman Abby pointed at the forest in the distance and briefly described the forest using Eboynes's name. Ash Forest was the back garden of the cave spider lizards. The ground there had been developed into a complicated maze by the cave spider lizards, and the cave spider lizards could appear from any part of the forest. Furthermore, because there were many tunnels dug underground, the soil on the surface was extremely thin. The cave spider lizards had only left behind a single hidden tunnel, and only the lizard race knew where it was. As for other creatures, they might be attacked by the spider lizards upon entering the forest, or they might fall into the spider lizards' burrows when the soil on the ground caved in, unable to come out. In the end, they would become skeletons underground.
That was how the name Ash Forest came about.
After passing through Ash Forest, they would encounter another city on the way to the sacred land. Devil Gold City was the second important city of the lizard race. The scale of this city was far larger than Modo City, and it was the outpost of the sacred land. Those lizard race that had not been notified could not even enter the sacred land, and Devil Gold City was the last city they could reach on Red Tark.
Behind Devil Gold City was the Ring of Doomsday, which was a ring-shaped ravine, and below it was a bottomless abyss. This ring-shaped abyss separated the land outside of the sacred land. Other than the Bridge of Redemption, there was no other way to enter the sacred land.
Abby drew a circle on the ground, and then pointed to the center of the circle. The lizard slave said that was the sacred land. Allen nodded. The lizard race's origin was here. At the same time, under the sacred land was the place where Cana and the Lizard King were sleeping.
At this time, on the other side of the earth, the retreating lizard army had already entered Ash Forest, disappearing into the boundless sea of trees. Apart from the bat lizards that could fly in the sky, no other lizard race could be seen on the ground.
Among the bat lizards, a huge flying lizard with dark green scales all over its body let out a short cry. With it in the lead, the bat lizards swept past Ash Forest. Soon, the dark cloud floated past the forest, and behind the forest was an undulating hilly area. In the distance, there was a city on the ground, and that was Devil Gold City.
There were three city walls on Devil Gold City, and they were arranged from the highest to the lowest. The city walls were pitch-black, and there were faint golden patterns on them. They were made from the special metal produced nearby, Devil Gold.
There were all kinds of military equipment, fortifications, projectile vehicles, cannons, and other things on the city walls. There was an endless stream of serpent-people soldiers on the city walls, and they were monitoring every inch of land outside Ash Forest. Behind the city walls, there were huge chimneys everywhere, and they were emitting thick smoke into the sky. There was always a thick gray cloud floating above Devil Gold City, and the city looked very depressing.
There were flames everywhere in the city, and it looked like a huge factory that was working day and night. The bat wings first soared into the sky, and then dived down. From the eyes of the flying lizard leader, one could see a black crack in the ground in the distance behind Devil Gold City, and the dark land behind the crack.
That piece of land looked lifeless.
