The combat strength of dragons had always been proportional to their age. Although they had a very high lifespan, correspondingly, they needed a long time to grow.
However, the history of the world of Ashan was almost a history of war. Although the various races had evolved into colorful cultures, it also caused endless conflicts between the races. Under these circumstances, the dragons joining the races to participate in their wars would invisibly cause a large number of dragons to not have the time to grow strong enough.
Their reproductive ability was not high to begin with, and it could be said that the number of dragons born every year was far less than the dragons who died in war. Over time, the age of the dragons hired to join the armies of the various races was decreasing.
Some dragons that were two to three hundred years old and had just stepped into adulthood might still be a deterrent to ordinary races, but if they encountered a powerful high-rank demon like Roy, they were naturally not enough. This was why Roy and the others did not encounter any decent resistance when they hunted all kinds of dragons. This made Roy feel that the dragons were nothing more than this.
But in fact, after a dragon had lived for a thousand years, its strength was absolutely astonishing and could not be underestimated. This was the reason why Rafaro had been sparing no effort to resurrect and restore his body.
And this time, Gem brought the thousand-year dragons that had survived the years of war. There were a total of thirty-two, and all of them were gold dragons!
The dragon scales of these gold dragons were as bright as gold, shining brightly under the sun. Their bodies were more than twice as large as ordinary dragons, and they were almost as tall as behemoths.
These thirty-two gold dragons were originally the guards of the Gold Dragon Queen. The forest elves had always been life-and-death allies with the gold dragons. Four years ago, Xeron and the other demons had led an army to attack the Gold Dragon Queen, but this plot was eventually stopped, and the Gold Dragon Queen was still alive. This time, because Gelu had died and the Sword of Frost had been snatched away, the elves felt a deep sense of crisis. So when Gem led the team to set off, the elves found the Gold Dragon Queen and borrowed her guards.
With the thirty-two gold dragons as the arrowhead, hundreds of adult green dragons followed closely behind. The moment these enormous dragons flew up, they covered the sky again!
At this moment, Jenny also activated the power of the Dragon King's Mystic Powers. A powerful light instantly enveloped the entire group of dragons!
Since it was called the Dragon King's Mystic Power, it naturally had a huge amplification effect on the Dragon race. After the entire group of dragons was shrouded in this light, it was as if they had been blessed by the Bloodlust Spell. Their bodies expanded once again.
The dragons let out cheerful roars, flapped their wings, and flew into the sky. Then, under the lead of the golden dragon, they turned a corner and began to circle around Ur-Hekal. After turning back, the dragons lowered their heads and began to dive down!
After arriving not far above Ur-Hekal, the dragons sprayed dragon breaths into the city!
Flames, lightning, acid, and dragon breaths of three different attributes immediately ravaged all of Ur-Hekal. The entire city instantly fell into a hellish sea of fire, and countless demons began to scream.
The dragons did not directly land in the city to attack. They knew very well that there were too many demons, and many ants could bite an elephant to death. If they dared to land, they would definitely be stacked to death, so they just kept circling and using dragon breaths to cleanse Ur-Hekal.
Behemoths and siege weapons were bombarding the city walls outside, and the dragons were attacking from the sky. In addition, the elven ranger archers were using the effect of Jenny's Archer Dream Treasure to shoot arrows from afar like raindrops. For a moment, all the demons in Ur-Hekal were in a terrible situation.
Seeing demons continuously falling in the city, the demon heroes in charge of commanding the battle were furious. They ordered the demons to dodge while sending out the high-level demons under them.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The high-rank demons in the city spread their wings and flew toward the dragons circling in the sky. On the ground, as a large number of fire pillars erupted, high-rank demons holding scythes and heavy hammers teleported out in the flames. They came to where the behemoth was outside the city and swung their weapons at the behemoth's body.
Several high-rank demons cut off the lower limbs of the charging behemoths, and they fell to the ground with a rumble. But before it could howl, several heavy hammers smashed into its head, shattering its skull and making it cave in.
Both sides dispatched high-level combat forces, and the war entered an increasingly tragic state. However, no matter how much power the alliance army invested and how many demons they killed, there was still an endless stream of demons replenishing them!
Gem and Zehir saw this and were anxious. They knew very well that there were probably still many Gates of the Abyss in Ur-Hekal, and the demon army could quickly replenish itself.
"The barrier has been broken. Hasn't Raelag come yet?" Zehir asked worriedly.
But before he finished speaking, a voice suddenly sounded beside him. "No, leader Raelag has already arrived!"
Gem and the others were shocked and could not help but place their hands on their weapons. But then they saw a hazy figure appear about two meters to their right. The figure gradually became clear, and then a dark elven assassin wearing a gray cloak appeared.
The dark elven assassin's ability to appear and disappear like a ghost was indeed worthy of its reputation. Even Gem and the others did not notice when this dark elven assassin had come to their side.
Fortunately, the dark elves were not their enemies right now. On the contrary, they were now cooperating allies.
After appearing, the dark elven assassin said to Gem and the others, "Leader Raelag sent me to inform you that he has already brought people to infiltrate Ur-Hekal. But there are too many demons in the city, and stealth might not necessarily be safe, so I hope that you can step up your attacks and attract the attention of the demons as much as possible to create an opportunity for leader Raelag and the others to go deep …"
"Understood!" Gem nodded expressionlessly. "I hope he doesn't die in the hands of demons!"
Hearing this, the dark elven assassin smiled disdainfully and left again.
Now that they knew that Raelag was acting according to plan, Gem and Zehir heaved a sigh of relief, so they ordered all troops to throw themselves into the battlefield as much as possible and step up their attacks on Ur-Hekal.
… …
On the other side, in the north of Ur-Hekal, Raelag was carefully walking in Ur-Hekal with the assassins he had retracted.
Ur-Hekal was a city built on an enormous volcano. The alliance army could only attack three directions in the front, which was a fan-shaped range of about 270 degrees. Because the north of the city was backed by the volcano, it was impossible to deploy troops there. As a result, after the siege began, the demons did not defend this position, creating conditions for Raelag and the others to sneak in.
In fact, Raelag had long been in position. After the barrier broke, he immediately led the assassins into the city. Although the attention of the demons was attracted by the main battlefield, this was the lair of the demons after all. Along the way, they could still see a large number of demons scurrying around in the city, so they had to be very cautious to move forward slowly.
Raelag was a warlock, but he was a dark elf after all. Hiding in the shadows was the talent of the dark elves, so he actually knew stealth techniques. This time, he brought twenty assassins. After entering the city, he got the assassins to spread out and investigate in all directions of the city.
