After leaving the swamp forest, there was a wide plain. It was very suitable for observation, and also very suitable for … war.
If one stood at the edge of the plain and looked to the south, one could see a huge city. Although this city was not as big as Emerald Dragon City, it was still very magnificent. It even shone brightly under the sunlight.
Standing Scorpion City was mainly composed of ten huge pyramids arranged in a straight line and a large number of smaller pyramids around it. The smallest was only a few meters tall, the largest was usually more than ten meters tall, and those huge pyramids were all fifty meters tall.
They were not completely made of sand and rocks. Some of the pyramids were even covered with sparkling crystals. Most of these crystals were obtained from the original underground residence of the Mad Scorpions. Because the Mad Scorpions were all dead, many of them returned there to collect crystals.
The crystals covering the surface of the pyramids were often scattered here and there, looking quite irregular. Lin found that some Emerald Dragons would feel uncomfortable when they saw these irregular shapes. Many creatures were like this. They liked to see things that were regular. This was a strange behavior.
However, more Emerald Dragons paid attention to the crystals not because of the irregularity, but because these crystals were very valuable.
Emerald Dragons would occasionally get some crystals. Crystals were usually quite rare for Emerald Dragons. A small piece could be exchanged for a lot of food, or even a house, and so on.
Of course, the crystals themselves were not very meaningful to Emerald Dragons. Although some crystals could store light or heat energy, Emerald Dragons almost never used crystals for this function. They just felt that these things were quite beautiful. Therefore, their value was determined.
The only Emerald Dragon that was not interested in crystals was Susumi. It probably had something to do with her being a king. She had seen a lot of crystals before, but she had never thought of coming here to take them … …
The other Emerald Dragons were different. This group of Emerald Dragons was extremely excited when they saw the sparkling crystals on the pyramid. Not to mention how huge those crystals were, if they lived in a house made of crystals, they would probably wake up laughing in their dreams.
In fact, Lin felt that if the Emerald Dragons could defeat Standing Scorpion, the crystals would be very low. If he obtained a large number of crystals, the value of these crystals would become relatively low. This kind of thing was only valuable because it was rare.
However, the Emerald Dragons obviously did not consider this. They excitedly picked up their weapons and arranged themselves in formation according to the commander's orders.
If they wanted to obtain the crystals, they still had to face the final obstacle … the Scorpion Army guarding outside the city.
Standing Scorpions had been using the tactic of fighting and running, but it was different now. They gathered together outside the city on a large scale, and their numbers were no less than that of the Emerald Dragons. They were also in formation. They were waiting for the Emerald Dragon to attack.
But to Lin's surprise, there weren't any specialised scorpion troops among them. They were all ordinary standing scorpions.
Perhaps Standing Scorpion was still hiding something, but Susumi was not going to wait any longer. She looked at the excited Emerald Dragons and realized that this was the best time to attack. She pulled the viper's head and rose into the sky with the other viper dragons.
"This is the final battle! Emerald Dragons! " Susumi's voice came down from the sky. "The enemy's city is right in front of us. What we need to do is simple: clean them up! Once we get rid of their threat, their resources will be ours! "
"Ohhhhhhh!!!!" The Emerald Dragons immediately cheered. Their morale had reached an extremely high level and was about to explode!
"Prepare the bows!" Under Susumi's command, the Emerald Dragons pushed out their large weapons. Although the two armies were more than five hundred meters apart, these weapons were enough to hit their targets.
The moment the Emerald Dragons pushed out their bows, the Standing Scorpions began to move. They obviously recognized the weapons. The Standing Scorpions raised their spears and took the lead in charging!
Tens of thousands of scorpions formed a huge black mass as they ran. The ground and the grassland shook with their footsteps, like a tsunami sweeping across everything. Even the Emerald Dragons, who had undergone training, could not help but feel intimidated by such a scene.
However, that was only their thoughts. Their bodies did not show any fear. Under Susumi's command, they continued to move calmly. The Emerald Dragons had already prepared their bows and were ready to attack at any time.
"Fire!"
Accompanied by a loud shout, dozens of huge bows made a series of sounds at the same time. The arrows mounted on them flew out like bullets, rapidly approaching Li Xie's army … …
The moment the two sides came into contact, the Standing Scorpions' bodies were instantly torn apart by the arrows. They did not even have the chance to scream. Their severed upper bodies were blown away by the huge force. They fell heavily to the ground and were trampled to pieces by the other Standing Scorpions that charged past.
The arrows pierced through several Standing Scorpions in succession before hitting the ground with a loud boom. The arrows that were fired at the same time had instantly killed hundreds of Standing Scorpions. However, although these weapons were powerful, their continuous firing rate was too low. When the Emerald Dragons were about to reload their bows for the second time, the Standing Scorpions' army was already about a hundred meters away.
"Archers! Fire! "
The Emerald Dragons no longer used their bows. A large number of archers aimed at the Standing Scorpions and fired arrows. Due to the density of their opponents, they did not need to aim. A storm of arrows rained down. The sharp arrowheads penetrated the shells of the Standing Scorpions. Countless Standing Scorpions screamed and fell to the ground. More Standing Scorpions rushed forward. The distance between the two armies was only about thirty meters …
The spearmen of the Emerald Dragons were already standing at the front of the army. They pointed their spears at the approaching army. They could no longer hide the fear in their hearts. Many of the Emerald Dragons' hands began to tremble. They knew that the moment the two armies collided, they were destined to be unable to see the future. However, none of them left their posts. The trembling spears did not move from their positions.
In the face of a terrifying enemy, no matter how selfish a creature was, it would be very selfless at this moment …
"Boom!"
There was a loud sound.
However, this was not the sound of two armies colliding. In the center of the Emerald Dragon army, the ground suddenly burst open. Some creatures that the Emerald Dragons had never seen before emerged from the ground. Many of the Emerald Dragons were thrown into the air by these creatures.
