When night fell, it rained. Raindrops the size of beans smashed onto the ground and fell into the Golden Devil City. When they met the heat of the city, they turned into water vapor. Golden Devil City was faintly discernible in the thick water vapor.
The Lizard Tribe had put in a lot of effort to protect the Holy Land. The city walls were tall and divided into three layers. There were many towers in the middle that could be used for observation and shooting. There were also defensive weapons. Other than the self-made cannons in Modo City, there were giant crossbows, catapults, and some other unknown strange weapons.
At this moment, Awanda stood in the rain on the city wall and looked at the dark mass of the Crypt Army in the distance with a heavy heart.
At this moment, a deep but powerful whistle came from the opposite side.
It was Ditaglos' whistle, and it was also a signal to attack.
"Prepare for battle!" Awanda shouted. The Lizard Tribe warriors on the three sides of the city wall were ready for battle. Several wings on the first side of the city wall rose one after another, and a large number of lizard beasts surged out from these wings. The scene was like a flood pouring out of Golden Devil City, quickly converging into one.
The Bat Lizards rushed out of Golden Devil City in groups. They circled above the city and shouted. From afar, they looked like a whistling dark cloud.
"Let me go this time."
Bai stood up on Detaglos's back. Allen looked at him and nodded. "Be careful. The Holy Land can use its home field suppression ability at any time. You have to save some strength."
Bai, who had grown into a young man, nodded and jumped off the giant beast.
Allen stepped on one of the heads of the giant beast and said, "Attack."
Reluctantly Ditaglos uttered another long howl, and his army began to move. The gray-skinned and brute Underground Elves ran at the front. When they charged, even the earth shook. These gray-skinned fellows carried all kinds of crude but absolutely huge weapons in their hands. From battle-axes to warhammers, they carried these heavy weapons and ran madly, constantly letting out deafening cries. There was no doubt that these were noisy fellows.
Following closely behind the Grey Goblin were the Circle Dancers. These two-headed, four-armed guys ran the fastest, but they deliberately slowed down a little bit compared to the Grey Goblin, forming a distinct echelon. Obviously, Ditaglos wanted the Gray Goblins to be the vanguard so that he could break through the Magic Gold City's line of defense. Then, he would let the most agile Circle Dancers infiltrate and cut through the enemy's defenses.
The third echelon consisted of the Weavers. When these giant black spiders rushed out, a black wave appeared on the ground. There were so many Weavers that they could move in almost any terrain. The high walls of Magic Gold City were useless against them.
Then there were some monsters that looked like hunchbacks. They had high humps like camels, and their heads were pitifully small. It had no eyes, but it had a sharp mouth. Although they could walk upright, most of them used their hands and feet to run on the ground. These hunchbacked monsters followed closely behind the weavers. Unlike the grey goblins, they advanced quietly like a group of mutes.
Following that, there was a multi-segmented worm, a scorpion-tailed rat, and a flying monster with a wolf's head and a human's body but a bat's wings. The Crypt Army marched toward the battlefield and killed their way to Magic Gold City.
Although the Crypt Army looked powerful, their numbers were still far inferior to the Lizard Army. If the Lizard Army included the lizard beasts, their numbers would be more than twice that of the Crypt Army. If not for that, Ditaglos would not have stayed in his lair obediently. He would have attacked Magic Gold City a long time ago.
After the Crypt Army surged past, Bai walked onto the battlefield. He was not in a hurry. Magic Gold City was larger than Modo, and its garrison was much larger. However, this time, the Crypt Lord's army was acting as the vanguard, so Bai was not in a hurry to attack.
He stepped forward. His thin figure seemed so slender and fragile in the wasteland of Magic Gold City.
In the middle of the battlefield, the lizard beasts and the Gray Goblins had already met. The Gray Goblins roared and pounced on the lizard beasts. They waved their heavy weapons and easily broke the bone armor of the lizard beasts' heads. They killed a lizard beast in a few hits. However, their target was not the lizard beasts. Hence, after the vanguard stopped the lizard beasts, the Gray Goblins at the back desperately killed their way in. Instantly, streams of gray seeped into the lizard tide and rapidly approached Magic Gold City.
The Circle Dancers followed closely behind the Gray Goblins. As soon as they came into contact with the lizard tide, their bodies spun wildly. The bone blades on their four arms rotated and cut the lizard beasts accurately. Their movements were agile like spinning tops. The lizard beasts could not even touch them before they were cut into a bloody mess.
At this moment, the shrill cries of the Bat Lizards could be heard in the sky. They swooped down from the sky and sprayed poisonous water at the Crypt Army. The Weavers in the third echelon immediately stopped and sprayed spider webs. Gray spider webs swept into the air and caught the Bat Lizards. The Bat Lizards could not spread their wings and fell to the battlefield. They were either smashed to death by the Gray Goblins or beheaded by the Circle Dancers.
Behind them, the Bat Winged Wolf Beasts rushed into the Bat Lizards. The wolf beasts were much larger than the Bat Lizards, but they were more agile. The wolf beasts opened their mouths and howled, emitting infrasound waves. These sound waves swept across the Bat Lizards, causing them to lose their balance and fall to the ground. Some of the wolf beasts directly rushed into the Bat Lizards and used their sharp claws to tear apart their bodies.
Standing on the head of a giant beast, Allen surveyed the battlefield. In general, the Crypt Army was far stronger than the lizard beasts. Even the Gray Goblins and Weavers were much stronger than the lizard beasts. However, the lizard beasts were not the main fighting force of the Lizard Race. When the Lizard Race's regular army entered the battlefield, the war could be considered to have truly begun.
At this moment, the sound of war drums rang out from Golden Devil City. On the third high wall, the Red-Scaled Lizardmen waved their hammers. They struck leather drums that were as large as tables, producing a desolate and melancholy sound.
Hearing this sound, Allen knew that the other side was about to counterattack.
Sure enough, streams of fire were shot out from Golden Devil City. Each stream of fire was mixed with surging magma, and when they landed on the ground, they exploded into waves of fire. Even the Gray Goblins cried out in pain when they were touched by the flames and magma.
Then, the cannons on the city walls began to rumble, and the shells heavily bombarded the battlefield, causing countless fireballs to explode. Lizard beasts and Crypt Army soldiers were continuously sent flying by the fireballs, and by the time they landed on the ground, they had already turned into broken corpses.
When the giant ballistae were used on Golden Devil City, even Ditaglos felt somewhat uneasy. Every time these weapons moved, they would produce terrifying whistling sounds, and black shadows would plough through the battlefield, leaving empty spaces.
The Lizard Race's strategy was very simple. They would use the lizard beasts to tie down the enemy, and then use all kinds of weapons to attack without distinguishing between friend and foe. In any case, to them, the lizard beasts were just cannon fodder that could be used again.
Ditaglos let out a roar, and a ball of light shone from his back, wrapping around Lucy and the others and bringing them to the ground. Allen knew that he had to participate in the battle, or else his army would suffer disastrous losses. Thus, he directly jumped down from the giant beast, roared again, and began to run.
As he ran, fireballs, icicles, lightning, and wind blades appeared above his head. Then, these things were thrown at the top of Golden Devil City's city walls. A few long whistles came from the direction of Golden Devil City, and some Lizard Race generals tried to stop them. However, Ditaglos's attacks were numerous, and countless fireballs and icicles rained down. Only a few of them were able to stop the attacks.
Thus, Golden Devil City experienced a violent baptism. Countless fireballs smashed on the city walls, blasting the Lizard Race warriors off the walls. Then, icicles rained down, destroying countless warriors and armaments. Then, lightning swept across the city walls like snakes of electricity, and five warriors in the center of the lightning were directly electrocuted into charcoal. Finally, the wind blades that swept over cut through bodies as if they were harvesting straws.
Allen sighed inwardly. Ditaglos's power was varied, but it was very convenient to use it in sieging a city. Such a large-scale bombardment was like the concentrated fire of a fleet. Just one wave of attacks had reduced Golden Devil City's defense by about 30%.
Perhaps sensing the destructive power of the Crypt Lord, a distinctive aura rose from the Devil Gold City's side. Seven or eight lizardmen generals leaped down from the city walls and charged at the Crypt Lord. They wanted to kill Ditaglos.
Ditaglos was naturally not afraid. Just as he was about to face them, he heard Bai's voice beside his ear. "Leave those guys to me. You just continue to destroy the city walls."
At this moment, an ice mark appeared in the sky, and snowflakes floated down from the sky. The originally heavy rain quickly froze, and the heavy rain turned into hail, crashing onto the battlefield.
The lizard generals charged straight at the giant beast. Suddenly, their vision blurred, and a young man emitting a frightening cold aura blocked their way.
Bai had already put on the Frozen Earth Coat, and the ice and snow covered his body, forming a gorgeous armor. He stretched out his hand, and an Ice Spear appeared in his hand. Bai swept his spear out, and the tip of the spear stirred up billowing wind and snow, enveloping several generals in the spear's aura. He actually wanted to stop them by himself.
This shocked and infuriated the lizard generals.
A general whose body was covered in bright red scales roared and pushed his hands horizontally, pushing out a fire dragon that pounced at Bai. He wanted to use the fire to suppress Bai's Ice Force. Bai looked at him coldly and moved his hand. The Ice Spear turned into a white line and drilled into the fire dragon.
In an instant, it drilled out of the fire dragon, and the spear did not melt after passing through the flames. Instead, it did not stop and pierced into the chest of the general like a bolt of lightning. The general was pushed back by the spear, and when he stopped, a layer of frost spread rapidly with the spear as the origin. In the blink of an eye, the lizard general was turned into an ice sculpture on the wasteland.
