Dazzling sunlight shone on the vast Cloud Plain. Mist rose with the warm light, filling the atmosphere with a clear breath.
However, the air was extremely heavy for the White Skeleton Dragon.
Its nervous breathing made the hands holding the crossbow tremble. Its eyes were fixed on the Cloud Plain in front of it, not daring to leave its sight for even a moment.
There were hundreds of White Skeleton Dragons standing on the city wall. They usually liked to chat, but they did not make any sound at this time. An almost suffocating atmosphere surrounded the group of White Skeleton Dragons, as if doomsday was coming...
"Don't be afraid." The tall golden statues stood beside the White Skeleton Dragons. Their calm voices were the only comfort the White Skeleton Dragons had.
"The creator is watching us. We will win."
The Cloud Plain looked extremely peaceful. There were some atmospheric creatures floating around the mountain peak that protruded out of the Cloud Plain. They seemed to be wandering around leisurely, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with them.
Suddenly, these atmospheric creatures seemed to have sensed something and all of them scattered.
"They're coming..." The White Skeleton Dragon Captain stood on a cloud tower on the city wall and looked in the direction of the mountain peak.
If one listened carefully, they could hear some rumbling sounds. Some sounded like thunder, and some sounded like countless creatures were running wildly.
The captain's eyes were fixed on the mountain peak. It was so focused that it seemed to have forgotten to blink. It gripped its weapon so tightly that blood could be squeezed out of its hand...
"They're coming... they're coming!"
The captain suddenly made a sound. A small black dot appeared on the Cloud Plain in the distance.
At the same time, there were countless black dots following behind it...
"Bug... Bug —!!!" A scream broke the silent and tense atmosphere. The White Skeleton Dragon Captain shouted with all its might from the tower, "They're coming! They're coming! "
The calm Cloud Plain was now covered by darkness. Tens of thousands of insects swarmed out from the top of the mountain. They were like a tsunami, dyeing the entire sea of clouds black.
Dong! Dong! The Skeletal Dragons on the tower began to ring what was called a bell, and the reverberating sound announced the arrival of the enemy. Every Skeletal Dragon walked to their respective positions. They aimed the crossbows in their hands in front of them, and the dragon in charge of operating them quickly climbed onto the giant crossbow.
In the distance, the army of insects was getting closer and closer. These huge insects had flat feet, which not only allowed them to climb up steep mountains, but also allowed them to run in the sea of clouds without sinking.
Although running on the sea of clouds was soundless. However, the footsteps of these giant insects were already echoing in the minds of the skeletal dragons. They tried to steady their trembling hands and gripped the crossbows in their hands tightly …
The swarm was approaching their shooting range.
"Fire! Fire! "
Suddenly, the shouts of the captains could be heard from the tower on the city wall. The first beetle had crossed the firing line.
"Gah!"
At this moment, almost all the White Skeleton Dragons pulled the trigger on their crossbows. Countless arrows flew into the sky at this moment, and then fell like a rainstorm.
The rain of arrows fell on the wave of insects. Thousands of giant insects advanced against the sharp rain, their shells echoing with crackling sounds. Some of the arrows hit the giant insects' heads and other vulnerable parts. Some of the giant insects fell on the Cloud Plain because of the large number of arrows. Their companions behind them stepped on their bodies without a care. The swarm did not slow down at all.
"Fire the crossbows!"
On the city wall, the sound of metal clanging could be heard. The giant crossbows operated by the White Skeleton Dragons had begun to move.
These giant crossbows looked different from ordinary ones. They looked like cylinders with a large number of arrows at the head of the cylinders. The White Skeleton Dragons sat next to the cylinders and used a rotating joystick to control the firing of the arrows.
As the joystick moved, the cylinders next to the White Skeleton Dragons also began to rotate. With the sound of metal clanging, long arrows like spears were shot out continuously. The rapid arrows flew through the air and hit the head of a beetle.
The sharp arrowhead instantly pierced through the beetle's head, and the giant beetle fell onto the Cloud Plain.
The crossbows on the city wall began to operate under the White Skeleton Dragons' control. They rotated quickly with the White Skeleton Dragons' movements, and arrows shot out continuously from the cylinders. At the same time, more and more arrows were drawn into the ballista, providing it with an endless supply of arrows.
Under the attack of the giant arrows, many of the beetles at the front fell to the ground and were trampled into the Cloud Plain by their companions. However, they were only a small number in the sea of insects, and their charge did not slow down.
The White Skeleton Dragons built a giant Cloud Wall to surround the entire mountain peak. However, the Incan swarm did not disperse and attack. All the insects were concentrated in the east.
It seemed like they wanted to attack from a single direction. All the insects were concentrated in that direction, making them look even denser than the sea. It was almost impossible to stop them.
"Gah!" The White Skeleton Dragon operating the crossbow roared. It used all its strength to spin the crossbow, as if it wanted to tilt all the arrows.
"Gah?" Suddenly, it saw a ball fly in front of its eyes …
"Boom!!!" A loud explosion sounded. The White Skeleton Dragon and its crossbow were instantly blown away, turning into a pile of broken limbs and debris that fell back onto the city wall.
"Boom!" Just then, another ball flew towards the crossbow on the wall.
The Cannon Insect was a new species of Incan insects. It was also the species that was used as the vanguard in this battle. They could shoot powerful bombs from their mouths.
However, this bomb did not fly high enough and crashed into the Cloud Wall.
The sphere hit the seemingly fragile cloud wall. At the moment of impact, the sphere seemed to have come into contact with something very soft. It bounced back before it even exploded. The sphere flew back to the swarm with a loud bang. It blasted a hole in the sea of clouds and blew off a large part of the shells of several nearby beetles.
The defense of the White Skeleton Dragon's Cloud Wall was revealed. It did not rely on its hardness, but on its softness.
"Boom!" The Incan insects did not care so much. Another bomb hit the Cloud Wall.
"Boom!!" This time, before the Cloud Wall could bounce back, the bomb exploded and created a hole in the Cloud Wall.
However, this hole was not very big. The soft Cloud Wall absorbed most of the impact.
"Gah! Repair it quickly! " The White Skeleton Dragon on the city wall saw that the hole below had been blown up. They immediately took out something that looked like a cloud and threw it into the hole.
These clouds stuck to the hole that had been blasted out. They quickly fused with the clouds there and repaired the blasted part in an instant.
"Boom!" However, the Incan insects did not stop shooting.
The insects were almost at the bottom of the Cloud Wall. A large number of bombs were aimed at the crossbow on the wall. However, most of them could not reach the top. They crashed into the wall and exploded continuously.
As the cloud wall was continuously bombarded, the entire cloud wall instantly became a bumpy structure. Many of the bombs were also reflected back, causing quite a bit of damage to the swarm itself.
The beetles that had rushed to the bottom of the Cloud Wall had already started climbing up the Cloud Wall. Many of them were still chewing on the soft Cloud Wall.
However, the Cloud Wall was very sticky. Many of the beetles that were chewing on the Cloud Wall were stuck to the Cloud Wall. The Cloud Wall that had not been chewed on was not sticky. It could not stop the beetles from climbing up.
"Gah! They're coming up! "The dragons on the wall immediately started shooting at the insects that were climbing up the Cloud Wall.
At close range, the impact of the arrows could penetrate the shells of some beetles. However, many of the insects continued to move forward even with arrows in their heads. A huge beetle had already climbed up the Cloud Wall.
"Whoosh!"
A golden spear pierced through the beetle's head. Its huge body fell from the Cloud Wall.
"Gah!" The golden statues had already started fighting. They waved the huge weapons in their hands and knocked down all the beetles that had climbed up the Cloud Wall. The golden axes in their hands could chop off the beetles' heads. The golden spears could penetrate the beetles' shells.
However, they could only deal with the ordinary types.
In the sea of insects outside the Cloud Wall, there were some particularly huge insects.
They were once known as' Earth Splitters'. They were a type of beetle that was thirty to forty meters long, covered in silver armor, and had huge jaws. These beetles were so huge that they would sink into the sea of clouds due to their weight.
However, that was a few hundred years ago.
Although the Earth Splitters' current form was similar to before, there were some differences.
One of the Earth Splitters looked at the golden statues that were killing the beetles on the Cloud Wall. It had already made them its target.
The Earth Splitters' wings suddenly opened. Four huge membranous wings stretched out from the center.
As the membranous wings trembled, the thirty-meter-long body actually floated into the air!
Moreover, it didn't just use its wings to fly. A dazzling flame suddenly shot out from the Earth Splitter's tail. The huge insect immediately charged forward, charging towards the Cloud Wall that the statue was standing on …
The Earth Splitter's charge instantly smashed the Cloud Wall into pieces. The statue and a ballista on the Cloud Wall were instantly sent flying into the sky.
Due to the high adhesion of the Cloud Wall, the surrounding walls were also affected when the Earth Shocker crashed into this area. The walls tilted backward, and a large number of skeletal dragons and ballistas on top of them fell off the walls.
At the same time, a large number of beetles climbed up the Cloud Wall. The skeletal dragons' first line of defense … collapsed.
