The Storm Fortress.
Standing at the foot of the steep cliff and looking up, it was almost impossible to see the magnificent palace that was high up in the clouds.
Grimm's group of seven passed through many checkpoints and finally arrived at the lonely cliff in the middle of the mountains. From here, they would have to climb more than 3,000 meters to reach the grade 4 dragon's palace.
"We'll be going up first! Remember to follow the plan … "Cthuna said coldly. She raised her hand and summoned a grade 4 Zombie Dragon, which carried her and Phemis to the top of the cliff.
Seeing that the two grade 4 witches had set off, Grimm said calmly, "Armes, it's time for us to go!"
Armes, who had transformed into his human form, was extremely reluctant, but he knew that there was no time to waste. Once the grade 4 witches started fighting, everyone close to the battlefield would become their target. One of the main reasons he had come along was to control the grade 3 emerald dragon beauty, Aretina.
Aretina had been staying in The Storm Fortress for the past few days. Armes had tried all sorts of methods to lure her away, but to no avail. Helplessly, today was the day the grade 4 witches decided to take down the dragon. If he didn't come, there would be no eggs left unharmed. Aretina would most likely become the sacrifice of this battle!
Thus, with a furious roar, Armes' body rapidly expanded. In five seconds, he had transformed from a young man who was two meters tall to a powerful 30 meter long thunder dragon.
Grimm, Mary, Zacha, and Tigula climbed onto the back of the Type 3 Thunder Dragon, reaching out with their hands to grab the terrifying 1-metre-long spikes on its back.
Roar …
With a short dragon roar, Armes unfurled his huge dragon wings that spanned over 20 meters and beat the air with all his might. With a stomp of his powerful hind legs, his huge body carried the four witches and rose into the air. He chased after the dragon that had turned into a tiny black dot, heading straight for the top of the cliff.
In order not to alert the Storm Fortress, Grimm and the others used the fastest and most direct method to launch a surprise attack on the Blue Sky Wing.
One after the other, the two giant dragons flapped their wings with all their might and pounced towards the palace at a perpendicular angle. Due to the great speed of the Thunder Dragon, Grimm could only barely hold on to the spine of the Thunder Dragon. His body flew out like a flag.
Mary also knew how to fly, so it was easy for her to deal with this situation.
Only the dragonman Zacha and the goblin Tigu Le couldn't fly or float. They could only tightly grab onto the back of the thunder dragon and close their eyes. They felt the biting cold wind blow past their ears and let out an ear-piercing whistle.
Since this mountain was the private property of the Tier 4 Dragon, the steep rocky path from the foot of the mountain to the top of the cliff was guarded by Drakonids. Each and every one of them was guarding the caves on the cliff. When they saw the two giant dragons rushing straight up in front of them, they immediately shouted and rang the copper bells one after another. Then, they rushed towards the peak along the stone path in groups of three to five.
Without the giant dragons leading the way, Grimm and the others would probably have to fight their way from the foot of the mountain to the peak. At that time, no matter how slow the Blue Sky Wing was, it would have made all the necessary preparations before Grimm and the others could reach the peak.
Moreover, this was the Lance Plane, the plane of the Dragons!
Even if Skryr racked his brains, he would never have imagined that two Tier 4 powerhouses would come knocking on his door and launch a surprise attack on his luxurious palace in such a desperate manner.
The 3,000-metre cliff was already halfway across in the blink of an eye. Just as the two giant dragons smashed through the clouds and continued to fly upwards, the air around them suddenly emitted a strange, piercing laughter.
"Careful … those wind elves are coming!" Mary's sharp eyes warned.
Grimm did his best to block the whistling wind that blew in his face as he turned his head to look for those translucent mutated wind elves.
With the A.I. Chip's elemental vision, Grimm quickly discovered a few green silhouettes that disappeared in a flash.
Wind elves were actually a type of mutated wind elemental. They already had the basic form of a human, and their entire bodies were condensed from greenish-white flowing wind elemental energy. As they were extremely adept at riding the wind, they were especially difficult to deal with in places with turbulent air currents.
They flew extremely quickly, and the colour of their bodies blended in with the background. It was almost impossible for ordinary people to catch a glimpse of them. Moreover, they rarely engaged in positional warfare with their enemies. Instead, they relied on their high speed to stab at their enemies with their transparent wind spears.
Once they hit their target, they would quickly escape.
If they were on flat ground, they would not be afraid of such an attack. However, they were now attached to the back of the lightning dragon Armes and were doing their best to ascend. At this moment, the group did not have any methods to deal with the wind elves.
Above them, the three wind elves tried to use their wind spears to fling the two witches off the zombie dragon's back. Unfortunately, just as they neared the zombie dragon, they let out an indescribable shriek and their bodies collapsed.
The encounter of their three companions caused the large group of wind elves to scatter in fear. They no longer dared to provoke the zombie dragon and the two witches on its back.
Turning their gazes, the group of wind elves could not help but rush towards Grimm and the others.
The lightning dragon Armes' body trembled, and a large amount of lightning began to gather at its throat. It seemed to want to use a thunderstorm to chase these annoying fellows away.
"You don't have to worry about it … Leave these fellows to me!" Grimm lightly patted the lightning dragon's back, and it immediately dispersed the lightning and continued to fly upwards with all its might.
Grimm's head swayed slightly, and a blue light flashed in his eyes. He quickly locked onto the seven wind elves that were diving down.
In the next second, Grimm's eyes emitted a red light, and two scorching rays of sunlight swept across the sky like lasers. As the lasers swept across, the transparent wind elves suddenly revealed themselves, and with mournful wails, they turned into a chaotic air current.
These wind elves were only at grade 1. Apart from their transparent bodies and high flying speed, they did not have any other advantages.
If it was any other Magus, they would probably have to rely on area of effect spells to protect themselves from the attacks. However, with the A.I. Chip's elemental vision, Grimm was not affected by the harsh environment. He continuously shot out rays of sunlight, turning the human-shaped wind elementals into chaotic air currents.
The forty to fifty wind elves could only sneak around the periphery, but they could not fly close to Grimm and the others. For a moment, both sides were in a deadlock as they rushed to the top of the cliff.
Due to the interference of the wind elves, Grimm and the others were slightly slower.
By the time the Type 3 Thunder Dragon Armes landed on the cliff, the Zombie Dragon and the two witches were nowhere to be seen. However, a path of blood that was smeared with the broken limbs and flesh of the Dragonoid Warriors extended from their eyes all the way to the beautiful palace.
Listening carefully, they could faintly hear the roars and roars of the Dragonoid Warriors coming from the depths of the palace.
"They've already killed their way in! Let's guard the entrance of the palace! "According to the plan, the rank 4 dragon was the main target of the two rank 4 witches. As support, Grimm and the others were only in charge of clearing out the small fries.
"Aretina …"
The Lightning Dragon Armes roared, intending to charge into the palace, but was stopped by Grimm.
"Armes, it's already a battle between rank 4 powerhouses. Are you sure you want to take the risk?"
"But Aretina is inside …"
"Don't worry! Their target is only that Skrill. I've already informed them that they won't do anything to your Aretina. "
"But …"
"There are no buts … You can choose to defend this place with us and wait for the battle inside to end. Or you can charge in now and disrupt Lady Cthuna's arrangements … Choose one of the two paths! "
After stammering for a long time, the rank 3 Lightning Dragon Armes finally lowered his arrogant head.
"I'll stay …"
Grimm finally heaved a sigh of relief.
All this while, he had wanted to pull this rank 3 Lightning Dragon into his war chariot. However, Armes had always been arrogant and unruly. He rarely listened to Grimm's arrangements and plans.
This time, Grimm had gone all out. Only by using the might of a Tier 4 Witch to suppress Armes' aura did he manage to do so.
The Tier 4 Blue Sky Wing, Skryl, had plenty of powerful subordinates under him. Aside from the two Tier 3 Dragon Lords, there was also a Tier 3 Dragonoid aide.
Although the Tier 3 Dragons were Skrill's subordinates, they had their own territories in the surrounding areas. Only when Skryr summoned them would they rush over from thousands of miles away to receive their orders. Hence, aside from Skrill, only the Tier 3 Little Emerald Female Dragon, Aretina, and a Tier 3 Dragonoid Chieftain remained in the Storm Fortress's vicinity.
Grimm had been reluctant to let Armes leave because his team might not be able to face the Tier 3 Dragonoid Chieftain head-on. Hence, he had left Armes behind to deal with the Tier 3 Dragonoid Chieftain.
Grimm and the others did not have to wait for long. Half a minute later, a large group of Drakonid led by a burly Drakonid leader roared as they charged out of the Drakonid camp on one side of the cliff.
Compared to the large group of Tier 1 and 2 Dragonoids, the Tier 3 Dragonoid Chieftain's appearance and build were particularly eye-catching.
As soon as the Tier 3 Dragonoid arrived before Grimm's group, before it could even issue its first command, Armes had already charged at the Dragonoid. The Tier 3 Thunder Dragon's massive body collided with the Dragonoid Chieftain, and the two Dragonoids collided with each other.
