This was an asymmetric planar war!
Even though the natives surrounding the Sorcerer expeditionary force were ten times the number of enemies, they still did not have the upper hand in the overall situation. There were even signs that they were being systematically slaughtered by the Magus Corps.
If the Crimson Family was still the same dozen Sorcerers that ventured into another world by themselves, it was only a matter of time before they were wiped out by the onslaught of the natives. However, as the Crimson Family established a powerful and complete system of Magus Corps, they now had the strength to withstand the repeated attacks of the sea of enemies.
Realizing that the natives alone could not shake the defensive line established by the Sorcerers, the dragon lords had no choice but to send in the Dragonborn army and the Dragon Worshippers.
Strictly speaking, these two forces were the greatest cornerstones that allowed the dragon lords to successfully maintain their rule for thousands of years. However, now that the dragon lords were facing a crisis of survival, these capable subordinates had no choice but to fight for their lives.
The participation of the Dragonborn and Dragon Worshippers immediately heated up the atmosphere on the battlefield.
Previously, the Magus Corps could still maintain the frontline outside the defensive line, using the metal magical machinery as the spearhead to kill the enemy from both long and short range. Meanwhile, the magical cannons on the goblin chariots acted as a net of firepower, bombarding the enemy's offensive line continuously to create forbidden zones for life.
However, as the Dragonborn army charged into the frontline and the Dragon Worshippers rained spells on the magical machinery, the metal magical machinery as the first line of defense could not hold on much longer.
Hence, under Meryl's command, a large number of metal magical machinery began to retreat, replaced by roaring summoned creatures and newly concocted wizard beasts. With their strength, it was obvious that they could not withstand the attacks of the Dragonborn and Dragon Worshippers. Hence, the outer defensive line became increasingly unstable and on the verge of collapse.
However, just as the Dragonborn and Dragon Worshippers mixed in with the natives and frantically tore at the Sorcerer's defensive line, above their heads, the patrol motherships and all the goblin airships were already in position, revealing their pitch-black cannons.
In the next second, a thousand cannons were fired simultaneously!
An even larger ring of flames appeared around the Sorcerer's defensive line.
This wasn't the effect of some kind of spell, but the spectacular sight of thousands of fireballs exploding at the same time.
In order to maximize the effect of the attack, the wizards used summoned creatures and wizard beasts to lure the Drakonids and Dragon Worshippers to the vicinity of the strangulation line. Then, after precise calculations, they carried out the indiscriminate barrage of firepower.
And the killing effect they formed was also abnormally shocking!
With this single all-out attack, they had killed nearly thirty percent of the Dragonians and nearly half of the Dragon Worshippers. As for the natives, no one paid any attention to them. In any case, their numbers were definitely not small.
Such a ferocious energy attack also shocked the Dragon Overlords.
They knew in their hearts that if such a violent energy attack had landed on their heads, it would have been difficult for the Tier 1 Little Dragons to escape unscathed. If one was unlucky and got hit by five or more Energy Fireballs simultaneously, not only would the Tier 1 Dragons die instantly, but the Tier 2 Dragons would also vomit three liters of blood.
Perhaps only a Tier 3 Dragon would be able to survive such a brutal battlefield with ease. As for the other Colossal Dragons, they could only pray for themselves!
However, the Colossal Dragons were all simple-minded creatures with trembling muscles.
After such a long period of observation, they quickly discovered some of the 'flaws' of the Sorcerer's camp.
Every time a large-scale attack was launched, the density of the cannons on the Sorcerer's defensive line would drop for half an hour. Although there were metal magical machines on the ground supporting the frontline, compared to before, the enemy's firepower was still reduced by more than 40%.
Moreover, the Colossal Dragons quickly locked onto a key figure.
It was neither the invincible Insect Lich Bliss on the ground nor the domineering Tier 3 human sorcerer on the Cruiser Mothership. Instead, it was the three-meter-tall Metal Golem that was protected by both the Puppet Dragon and the Cruiser Mothership.
Looking at the snake-like energy chains that slithered around its body and how it continuously charged all the magical machines on the battlefield, it was obvious that the Sorcerer's side was able to defend against the repeated attacks of enemies that were a hundred times their size with such a small number of people.
To put it bluntly, it was the Golem that supported the entire Magical Machine Legion.
Therefore, the Colossal Dragons circled around, trying their best to find a loophole in the Sorcerer's camp's defense while roaring loudly and discussing the subsequent battle strategy. The five Tier 3 Colossal Dragons in the team had undoubtedly become the core of the entire group of Colossal Dragons.
Amidst their almost quarrelsome roars and roars, a simple and straightforward battle plan was quickly formed.
There were no conspiracies, no calculations. It was simple and violent, filled with the self-righteous aesthetics of violence of the Colossal Dragons!
Sure enough, after half an hour, following another large-scale barrage of firepower, a huge Ring of Death appeared in the battlefield.
The appearance of this Ring of Death was like a horn for the Colossal Dragons to charge. With a series of short and clear dragon roars, hundreds of Colossal Dragons converged into a sea of dragons, flapping their wings and roaring as they charged towards the cruiser.
In order to avoid being caught in a pincer attack from the cruiser and the Golem Dragons, most of the Colossal Dragons flew extremely high, preparing to use the cruiser's hull to block the attacks of the Golem Dragons.
A distance of five to six miles might be far enough for a normal human, but for the Colossal Dragons flying high in the blue sky, it would only take them two flaps of their wings.
The middle-grade and high-grade Sorcerers of the Crimson Family who had been waiting on the cruiser all narrowed their eyes, their hearts beating wildly.
Grimm took a step forward and said in a low voice, "I'll go out with Mary to hold them back. You guys rely on the cruiser to fight. Remember, don't go more than half a mile away from the cruiser … "
Alice, who was wearing a starry robe, took a step forward and pointed at Grimm and Mary with the resplendent Scepter of Prophecy in her hand. Two mysterious and beautiful stars in the sky fused into their bodies.
Omen of Destiny!
It was a mysterious buff that could not be described with words.
Every time a life-threatening danger came, the individual who received the blessing of Omen of Destiny would be able to sense the direction and degree of danger in advance.
In terms of power level, the blessing of Omen of Destiny was more accurate and clearer than the normal "Sense of Danger" and "Foresight".
And that was not the end!
Either with the help of the Cards of Destiny or by focusing on casting spells, Alice managed to buff Grimm and Mary with "Luck", "Shield of Destiny", and "Shield of Faith" in just a few seconds. The little elemental fairy Helen also waved her little magic wand and buffed Grimm and Mary with "Super Resistance", "Rapid Response", "Elemental Nullification Barrier", and a few other types of buffs and elemental barriers.
Together with Grimm's lava armor, lava shield, and a dozen flame shields, as well as Mary's blood qi protection, the two of them were surrounded by light. The beautiful magic aura and the flying elemental shields collided with each other, and dazzling magic sparks scattered in the air.
After looking at each other, Grimm stepped forward and grabbed Mary's waist. In the next second, the two of them disappeared in a huge cluster of flames that soared into the sky.
The flames exploded, and the light reached the sky.
Grimm and Mary appeared in the path of the dragons' charge.
After looking at each other again, the two of them suddenly separated. Dozens of dragon breaths of different colors and attributes quickly swallowed the afterimages they left behind.
Grimm was flying at high speed.
In fact, this was no longer considered flying. Instead, he was gliding through the air with the help of the dozens of tiny flame jets installed on his magma armor. That was why Grimm's flying speed was several times faster than a normal 'Fly' spell.
No matter how arrogant he was, he did not dare to charge into the middle of the dragons. Instead, he chose to maneuver around the periphery of the group and use lava fireballs to disrupt their flying rhythm.
The five Level-3 dragons might be able to ignore the instant lava fireball of a Level-3 Fire Wizard, but the other dragons could not. If the Level-1 dragons were caught in the explosion of the lava fireball, they would instantly be burnt black and fall from the sky, screaming in pain.
Even the Level-2 dragons would pay a terrible price if they were hit by the lava fireball!
Therefore, the order of the huge black group of dragons was disrupted by Grimm's appearance. All the Level-1 dragons dodged, while the Level-2 dragons circled around and retaliated with short but powerful dragon breaths.
Only the five Level-3 dragons roared and rushed forward, trying to close the distance between them and Grimm.
It had to be said that the number of dragons was too large, and it was a big burden for them.
Grimm could charge around the periphery of the group of dragons. As long as he avoided the five Level-3 dragons, the other dragons could not do anything to him. The five Level-3 dragons, on the other hand, had to avoid the panicking Level-1 dragons. They were teased by Grimm into playing a game of cat and mouse in the sky.
In just twenty to thirty seconds, three of the young dragons were hit by Grimm's lava fireballs and fell from the sky. As for the other dragons, they were burned by the flames and injured by the lava fragments.
On the other side of the battlefield, the Blood Queen Mary had transformed into a blood-red demon and charged into the middle of the group of dragons. Relying on her agile body, she struck out with her bloody claws, tearing the young dragons into pieces and causing them to groan in pain.
The five Level-3 dragons had no choice but to split up and lead seven or eight Level-2 dragons to chase after Mary, using their furious dragon breaths to destroy the illusionary bloody afterimages one after another.
