The second reason was very simple. There were four citadels near the Lyon Empire's capital. These four citadels were like guards guarding the Lyon Empire's capital. They weren't far from the Lyon Empire's capital, it would only take a day for them to arrive. In other words, if Zhao Hai were to attack the Lyon Empire's capital, then he would only have one day. If he couldn't break through the Lyon Empire's capital in one day, then he would be attacked from both inside and outside.
Each of these four citadels was guarded by a hundred thousand soldiers. Moreover, all of them were cavalry. Although they weren't the most elite cavalry of the Lyon Empire, they still weren't easy to deal with.
Naturally, Zhao Hai wasn't afraid of these cavalries, he just didn't want to have any conflict with them. But to be honest, Zhao Hai didn't have any good impression of these cavalries. When the Lyon Empire was attacked by the Dragons, they didn't do anything. Even after the establishment of the Holy Dragon Dynasty, these cavalries didn't change, they still enjoyed the same treatment as before. This showed that these cavalries were already bought over by the Dragons, therefore they didn't do anything.
Zhao Hai really wanted to kill these people. However, his reason told him that he shouldn't do so. Although these soldiers were just ordinary soldiers of the Lyon Empire, one shouldn't forget that they weren't born from stone. They still had their families. If Zhao Hai were to kill these soldiers, then their families would certainly hate him. When the time comes, some people would incite them, causing the Lyon Empire to fall into chaos.
Because of this, Zhao Hai didn't want to fight with the Dragons for too long. It would be best if he could settle things quickly.
But this time, he couldn't use a night attack. This was because ever since the Dragons entered the Lyon Empire's capital, there was a curfew every night. Moreover, they would also activate the capital's defensive formation. This made it impossible for Zhao Hai to launch a sneak attack. Therefore, he could only attack during the day.
After attacking the Knights' Fortress and the Soaring Sky Fortress, Zhao Hai was prepared to attack the Lyon Empire's capital the next day. However, after thinking about several plans, Zhao Hai couldn't succeed. Therefore, he could only postpone the attack for a day.
Zhao Hai discussed with Green and the others inside the Space for a day. Suddenly, they came up with a plan. Zhao Hai thought that this plan was feasible.
After resting inside the Space for a day, Zhao Hai prepared to make his move the next morning. He sat inside the Space's living room with Green and the others as they looked at the Lyon Empire's capital on the monitor.
The Lyon Empire's capital wasn't any worse than the Rosen Empire's. After all, it was the second most powerful nation in the continent. Naturally, it wouldn't be that bad. At this time, there were 40 Dragons in the Lyon Empire's capital. But these Dragons weren't gathered together, they were scattered all over the city. Each of them had a lot of people protecting them. Although it was called protection, it was more like they were being ordered around.
These Dragons weren't weak. It would be impossible for Zhao Hai to deal with them the same way he dealt with the Dragons in the Cavalry Fortress. This was because there was an early warning formation around them.
Currently, the Lyon Empire's capital would have its early warning formation activated at night. During the day, it wasn't as strict as during the night. Only the Dragons would have their early warning formation activated. This was also the reason why Zhao Hai couldn't attack during the night. Zhao Hai wasn't worried about the Lyon Empire's protective shield. The Space could directly place the undead inside, but the early warning formation was very annoying.
It wasn't long before dawn, so the city gates hadn't opened yet. The people who wanted to do business in the city hadn't yet entered. This was the best time for Zhao to attack. If they waited until the people entered the city, then they would definitely injure them. If they attacked now, then the people would just run to another place and they wouldn't be able to hurt them.
Zhao Hai looked at the time and saw that the gates were about to open. He turned his head to Green and said, "Grandpa Green, let's begin."
Green nodded and said, "Let's begin. There's a total of 50 square formations. Young Master, please control them carefully."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he waved his hand and launched the attack! At this time, the sky above the Lyon Empire's capital darkened. Then large amounts of dark clouds appeared in the sky. Some of the dark clouds were constantly rolling, it seems like it would rain at any time.
However, what made the people in the city feel strange was that they didn't hear any thunder nor did they feel any wind. They only saw the dark clouds floating in the sky.
The defenders were the first to feel that something was wrong. The dark clouds in the sky weren't ordinary. They couldn't help but grip their weapons.
At this time, a thunderous voice was suddenly heard from the sky, "Shameless Dragons, you actually dare to attack a Human city. Today, I will make you pay with your blood!"
Along with this voice, the dark clouds in the sky slowly spread out and turned into 50 small dark clouds. At this point, even an idiot would know that there was something wrong with the dark clouds. The entire Imperial Capital was in chaos. Those who got up early in the morning immediately threw away their work and ran back home as fast as they could before closing their doors and windows.
The soldiers immediately became nervous. Then a general of the garrison shouted, "Quick, inform the General to open the defensive formation and sound the alarm. Tell the Mages to get into position!"
Along with the command of the General, the city's defensive formation was opened. Fortunately, they had just closed it, so it was easy to open it. When the formation was opened, the walls of the city flashed with yellow light. Then slowly, a semi-circular yellow shield covered the entire capital.
However, when the formation was activated, the defenders in the city felt that something was wrong. The formation was activated, but the dark clouds were inside the shield. At this time, the defenders discovered why they felt that the dark clouds were strange. It was because the dark clouds were too low, they weren't far from the ground.
Now that the shield was useless, the defenders didn't panic. At this time, the Mages guarding the city arrived on the walls. When they saw the dark clouds, they couldn't help but stare. One of the Light Mages had an ashen expression as he said, "All Light Formations, use Light Magic to attack the formation. That's the Dark Mist Spell of the Dark Mages!"
When the Light Mage shouted, a lot of Light Mages immediately stood up and used all kinds of Light Magic to attack the dark clouds.
Now that the Dragons and the Radiant Church had formed an alliance, the Radiant Church had sent a lot of Light Mages to help them. Therefore, the Holy Dragon Dynasty had a lot of Light Mages helping them defend the city.
Needless to say, the Light Element Magic was really useful. When the Light Element Magic hit the black mist, the mist immediately disappeared. The defending army cheered.
However, the Light Mages didn't think that they should be happy. They had a good understanding of the Dark Mages. The Dark Mist Spell was indeed Dark Magic, but it was only 1st Rank Dark Magic. It didn't have any attack power, its greatest ability was to block the enemy's vision. The Light Magic could only disperse the dark clouds, there was nothing special about it.
The black fog slowly dissipated, and the thing that appeared in it made the cheering defenders feel like ducks that had been strangled by their necks. They couldn't make a single sound.
Inside the Dark Fog, a strange four-sided battle formation could be seen. The reason why this four-sided battle formation was strange was because it was actually a cube. It floated in the air like a huge square stone. Moreover, this four-sided battle formation was actually made up of undead.
As soon as the dark clouds disappeared, these four-sided battle formations immediately moved. Their speed was raised to the limit as they flew towards specific places in the city.
When the defenders saw where the four-sided battle formations were flying towards, their complexion couldn't help but change. This was because that was where the Dragons were resting. It seems like the other party came prepared.
At this time, the voice that appeared in the Space was heard, "Defenders of the city, listen up. This time, I came to deal with the Dragons. The Radiant Church and the Dragons have shamelessly joined forces to deal with the Lyon Empire. This time, I came to exterminate the Dragons and the Radiant Church. I hope that you don't participate in this, otherwise, you will be killed!"
The defenders stared at the four-sided battle formations that were flying in the sky. Although their strength wasn't very high, as long as one was a person from the Ark Continent, they knew what it meant to be able to fly. If it was a flying magic beast, then it would be fine. If it was a person flying, then it meant that the person had 9th rank strength. Although these undead were flying, and they had never heard of them before, they still couldn't help but shudder. They knew that these undead weren't easy to deal with. To be able to maintain such a formation while flying was enough to show how extraordinary these undead were. Moreover, the person who commanded these undead was even more terrifying.
At the same time, the defenders also discovered a problem. These undead were just like the voice said, they were specifically sent to deal with the Dragons. The direction that these undead were flying towards was where the Dragons were resting, or where the lesser dragons were. The ordinary defenders simply didn't pay attention to them!
The Light Mage who commanded the Light Mages to attack the Dark Mist was now pale. To be honest, he had never heard of an undead that could fly. In the history of the continent, the strongest undead was only around 6th rank. The strongest dark creatures that Dark Mages could summon weren't undead, but dark creatures from the underworld. These creatures were very powerful. If a high level Dark Mage used a sacrificial ritual, then they could summon 9th rank dark creatures to help them in battle. However, the requirements for the Dark Mage were very high. Moreover, after using it, the Dark Mage's lifespan would be greatly affected. There were even cases where the dark creatures would turn on the summoner.
