Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 123 The Final Battle in the Western Frontier, A Life-or-Death Battle for the Dragonborn
Thousands of lights were lit up on the towering and narrow city walls.

In an instant, beams of light rose from the city walls.

The light curtain stretches to the horizon, at least a kilometer long.

Thus, it was visible to the naked eye that on one side of the human city defenses, there was a gigantic waterfall of silver light, as if it were cascading down from the sky.

This waterfall forms a terrifying defensive barrier.

And along these natural barriers, thousands of meters above the ground, the flying cavalry of the human empire took to the field.

That was a cavalry air force composed of a group of flying horses.

Beside this army was a cavalry force that resembled griffins.

At a glance, Lin Ke discovered that every soldier in these two armies, totaling more than 10,000 people, had reached the advanced level, and many of the leading soldiers had even reached the intermediate level.

Meanwhile, behind these two flying cavalry units was an army of over three thousand sorcerers, seemingly casting spells to enhance the cavalry.

On the city walls and behind them, Lin Ke estimated that the human army numbered no less than 500,000.

There are also human soldiers constantly being prepared to rotate shifts in various locations.

The war drums resounded to the heavens.

Warcraft Roar!

Behind the red dragon, the first to fly out were a swarm of magical beasts that looked like locusts.

This small horde of magical beasts, led by queen-like ant-like creatures from various groups, swept across the sky in a dark, overwhelming manner, invading humanity's defenses from the heavens.

It was only at this moment that Lin Ke realized.

On the wasteland ground, many places were now covered with a thick layer of small magical beasts resembling flying ants.

At the call of the red dragon, these little creatures suddenly took flight, and at that moment, the entire battlefield seemed to darken.

Lin Ke felt a chill run down his spine just looking at this black, tidal wave of insects.

Judging from the current number of these insect swarms, they probably exceed tens of millions and are close to hundreds of millions.
Although most of these insect swarms are no larger than two human fingers and are not very powerful, ordinary humans could easily kill dozens of them if they encountered them.

But as the saying goes, quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

When these swarms of insects exceed tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, the terrifying scene becomes truly horrifying.

"With a swarm of insects of this size, it probably wouldn't take more than a day to devour all the trees in the swamp territory, would it?"

"With so many insects, keeping them must be quite expensive, right?"

Lin Ke pondered.

However, at this moment, the little earth dragon had already woken up and heard Lin Ke's words.

Looking at the swarm of insects in the distance below the sky, it immediately muttered:
"They're just a bunch of insects. These insects have such short lifespans, how could they possibly stay forever?"

"Normally, these insects are just food for low-level magical beasts, and their numbers are never very large, because there are quite a few insect-eating magical beasts in our magical beast mountain range."

"Therefore, swarms of insects of this size only appear when a beast tide is launched."

"We just need to order some insect queens to reproduce insects indefinitely. With just one high-level magic crystal, we can cultivate hundreds of high-level insect queens. Moreover, as long as the insect queens have enough magic crystals to eat, a swarm of this size can be formed in just a few days."

It can take only a few days to take shape?

A swarm of tens or hundreds of millions of insects?
Well, Linko underestimated the speed at which the magical world could cultivate insects.

And consume troops.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a unit designed for attrition warfare.

Because, just as the swarm of insects was launching its first attack from high altitudes towards the human defenses.

The next moment, a large number of explosions and flashes appeared in the dark swarm of insects.

During this period, it seems that the human side also possessed insect magic.

A large number of poisonous smoke-like spells, combined with wind magic, quickly spread across the sky. In just an instant, the swarm of insects died at an unimaginable speed, like rain.

The destructive power of a swarm of insects is actually limited; in this world, sheer numbers are useless.

Especially when facing swarm warfare, a swarm of this size is like an appetizer; it's hardly a proper attack.

However, under the cover of the insect swarm, a large number of flying magical beasts have already begun to move!
Taking advantage of the gap in the insect swarm's rapid demise, all the flying magical beasts behind the red dragon moved immediately!

Led by twelve high-ranking magical beasts, over 100,000 flying magical beasts of various ranks suddenly charged into the swarm of insects.

And it charged headlong into the human defenses high in the sky.

Amidst the swarm of poisonous insects, a mid-level magical beast suddenly burst forth, instantly killing three knights with several wind blades.

A mid-level knight, realizing what was happening, immediately unleashed a flaming arrow, shooting the flying magical beast down.

But even more monsters have already arrived!

In an instant, the entire battlefield in the high sky was engulfed in chaotic fighting.

The warlock army behind them continuously cast spells to form protective barriers to protect themselves, while also applying reverse buff spells to the flying monsters over a wide area.

Of course, these sorcerer armies were also divided into dozens of small squads.

At the same time, various spells such as storms, ice blades, and fire were used to bombard the monster horde.

Meanwhile, on the ground, a large number of magical beasts from the mountain range were rushing towards the human city's light barrier.

As for the city walls, a large number of ordinary human soldiers and advanced soldiers were constantly bombarding the approaching beast tide with magical crossbows and even spells.

It's just during this process.

Suddenly, Link saw that the ground suddenly cracked open and collapsed below a section of the city wall on the human side.

In an instant, more than six high-level earth-attribute magical beasts burst forth from the ground.

In that instant, the city wall collapsed!
Amidst the screams of numerous human soldiers, the high-level magical beasts ruthlessly slaughtered the surrounding human soldiers!

At that very instant, five figures suddenly shot out from the sky.

Five high-level human powerhouses appeared.

Someone wielding a giant sword manifested as a terrifying ice blade over five hundred meters long, slashing down!
Instantly, several high-level magical beasts formed a magic shield resembling yellow earth above their heads.

The terrifying roar and the massive amount of dust swept away in an instant!

At that moment, everything within a radius of nearly five kilometers turned into true ruins.

The land is covered with jagged rocks and icicles mixed with frost.

None of the lower-level life forms around survived.

Meanwhile, further out, a high-ranking warlock was casting a spell to create a light barrier on one side of the human soldiers, blocking all the aftershocks.

On one side of the six high-level magical beasts, a high-level human suddenly seemed to transform into a terrifying silver lion.

The silver lion was over forty meters long. The phantom lion suddenly bit down on a seventh-tier snake beast on one side.

The serpent beast struggled, its tail sweeping wildly in all directions.

However, it was clear that it could not break free for the time being. On the other side, two high-level magical beasts quickly covered their entire bodies with magic power and roared as they charged towards the silver lion phantom.

At this moment, spells are no longer worth using against high-level magical beasts!
They used all their magic to strengthen their bodies and defenses.

Fist to pound is the simplest and most effective way for high-ranking human warriors to fight each other!

But their brutal, hand-to-hand combat was devastating to the surrounding area with every blow.

In this chaotic battle, a total of twenty-seven high-level magical beasts were deployed.

Sixteen heads, seven steps; eight heads, eight steps.

In addition, there are three non-dragon monsters of the ninth rank that have not yet reached their peak condition.

On the human side, thirty-one high-ranking individuals were deployed for this battle.

In terms of both quantity and quality, it is almost identical to Warcraft.

Currently, even high-level battles have an extremely terrifying impact on the battlefield.

However, in this chaotic battle, it was fortunate that there were high-ranking officers protecting the army, and even a large number of mid-ranking officers constantly arranging for the army to retreat.

The situation is roughly the same in Warcraft.

In short, both sides' low- and mid-level combat forces are avoiding entering high-level battlefields.

Even with their best efforts to avoid it, and even with higher-level beings deliberately avoiding the lower-level units of both sides, the intensity of the battle meant that neither side could be mindful of this at all times.

Therefore, in just one hour of the battle between the two high-level beings, more than 300,000 monsters and humans were caught up in it and died.

However, at this point, only high-level battles remained on the battlefield!
Whether it's Warcraft or human legions.

They have now all been withdrawn to the rear.

The battle continues!

"Die!!!" The silver lion phantom faded, and the next moment, the old duke of the Silver Lion Duchy returned to human form.

In an instant, his magic enveloped his body, and at the same time, magical ripples spread out again.

The next instant, a phantom of a middle-aged giant, over fifty meters tall, appeared, wielding a silver greatsword and slashing down fiercely.

Suddenly, the head of a seventh-tier magical beast, whose magic power had been completely exhausted, flew high into the air!

But at that very moment, an eighth-tier giant ape found an opportunity and suddenly leaped high, successfully smashing its fists into the head of the Duke's phantom giant!

The next moment, as the old duke below the giant phantom coughed up blood, he was slammed into the ground by a powerful backlash of inertial magic.

However, at the same time, a ninth-tier human witnessed this scene.

His eyes narrowed instantly, and he suddenly flung out a short sword.

The short sword was surrounded by sonic booms, and its blade was even rippling with terrifying fire-attribute magic.

The giant ape sensed danger.

He blinked, turned his head, and slammed his fists into the ground. The next moment, the surrounding earth shattered and collapsed with a deafening roar.

"boom!"

The short sword struck the area of ​​collapse and successfully detonated the fire-attribute magic ripples. In an instant, a ball of fire with a diameter of over 500 meters rose up.

Looking at the terrifying battlefield before him.

Lin Ke was somewhat overwhelmed by the sheer number of things to see.

High-level casualties began to appear one after another after the first half hour of the battle.

One minute it's a monster dying, the next it's a human dying.

In short, roughly every half hour, a high-ranking person will fall.

Fortunately, around the fourth hour, a terrifying roar erupted!

Finally, the red dragon moved!
The moment the red dragon's voice rang out, the high-ranking humans on the battlefield all changed their expressions and retreated rapidly!
At the same time, a dazzling light suddenly descended from the sky in the direction of humanity.

It was a figure shrouded in holy light.

The figure was covered in pure white armor and was over three meters tall.

A head of long, golden hair swayed in the wind high above.

As the human stood in the void, a silver-white dragon appeared beneath him!

Yes, it is a silver dragon that is over 120 meters long!

The silver dragon was even more slender than the red dragon, and its strength was not strong; in Lin Ke's vision, it was only at the eighth rank.

But without a doubt, the human standing atop the dragon's head must be a dragon-born noble from the human empire!

This dragon-born nobleman, along with his silver dragon, was covered in exquisite silver armor.

The whole thing looks like it's filled with a sacred aura.

When the dazzling light fades.

The next moment, the face of a female human dragon descendant, about three meters tall, came into everyone's view.

At the same time, a hearty laugh suddenly came from behind the humans.

"Haha, my dear niece, the Lambert Silver Dragon Clan really does love to show off as always!"

Under the watchful eyes of all living beings, suddenly, a flash of light, like a thunderbolt, streaked across the low sky.

The next moment, accompanied by the roar of the front line!
A figure seemed to descend from the sky, suddenly shattering the surrounding earth.

The moment the rocks exploded, a large number of lightning bolts suddenly rained down from all around.

Suddenly, the dust and rocks that had exploded around this figure were all transformed into a gentle breeze and vanished instantly under the lightning.

This is a bald, burly man whose entire body appears to be bulging with muscles.

Its flesh and blood body is over four meters tall in its normal state, and its whole person is full of a domineering aura, with lightning flashing around its body from time to time.

His presence clearly exerted an unprecedented sense of pressure on everyone around him.

"Andrei has met three members of the Adams family, descendants of the Thunder Dragon!"

"I'm not late, am I? Haha, I'll replace that kid from the Edwin family here now."

"Amos, old turtle, fighting me wouldn't be considered beneath you, would it?"

Crimson, Amos, and even the silver dragon woman high in the sky all frowned as they looked at the newly arrived dragon noble.

The soil beneath the mountain dragon seemed to soften, and it moved its massive body to the front on its own.

He gazed at the small yet undeniable dragon-born human before him, nodded, and spoke in a calm voice:

"Andre? If I remember correctly, you were one of the twelve elders of the Adams Thunder Dragon Clan, appointed five hundred years ago, right?"

"The portion is decent, but you probably don't have many years left to live, do you?"

The burly man laughed heartily, unconcerned: "Old turtle, what are you saying? How can we human dragon descendants compare our lifespans to your sub-dragons?"

"I really don't have many years left to live. That's why I thought I'd come out and move around a bit. It's better than silently turning into dust, don't you think?"

Upon hearing this, the mountain dragon nodded in agreement.

"That's true."

Amos is like an old man who likes to ramble, but Crimson is different.

At that moment, the voice of the red dragon could be heard from high above.

"Amos, why are you wasting your breath talking to this human junior? Stop dawdling, if you're going to fight, then hurry up and do it!"

"Junior, the rules remain the same as before!"

"Amos and I will not kill the dragonborn. If you lose, you will have to lead your armies to cede the current territory of the Silver Lion Duchy."

"Whether you agree or disagree, it doesn't matter. Just don't blame me and Amos for being ruthless."

“Amos has let you juniors off the last few times, but the old guys in the mountains are getting impatient. Amos’s dawdling has made me suffer too. I’m not as easy to talk to as Amos. Think it over.”

Crimson's words were anything but polite, which surprised the burly man slightly.

However, this seemingly cheerful and easygoing man smiled again.

"Haha, Crimson Lady, it is indeed a bit presumptuous of us dragon-blooded families."

"However, it's not our fault. After all, that old tortoise Amos has been a staunch defender of the Dragon Codex. But it's time to give him an explanation."

“Our Dragonborn family still has some dignity, Crimson Lady. Let’s settle this with a single battle! I’ll take responsibility for the Empire’s side. Is that alright?”

"However, I think everyone should go all out in this battle and fight to the death!"

"As a human, I should at least demand an explanation from you for this enormous loss to humanity. Otherwise, my dragon-blooded family will never be able to hold our heads high among the human nations again."

"By the way, you two seniors have lived long enough, you shouldn't be afraid of returning to the embrace of the Dragon God, right?"

Amos and Crimson were both taken aback by the burly man's final words.

Then, Crimson flew into a rage.

"What an arrogant brat! Very well!!!"

"Amos, you heard it yourself! Don't forget what we're carrying! You can't hold back this time!"

"It doesn't matter if the younger generation looks down on you, but if you die here like this, hmph, think about it yourself."

Upon hearing Crimson's words, the mountain dragon fell silent!
In the silence, he looked at the burly man in front of him, and his eyes suddenly turned dangerous.

"very good!"

"Kid, I'll grant your wish~"

The red dragon looked at the appearance of the mountain dragon and was very satisfied.

Then, in the next instant, it raised its head and roared, charging towards the silver dragon offspring on the opposite side of the sky with terrifying flames.

As for beneath the earth, the mountains shook and the ground trembled, the earth was lifted high like ocean waves and rushed straight towards the strong man.

"Well done!"

"Hahaha, old turtle, don't hold back! Let's all enjoy the thrill of a fierce battle! And let's proclaim the glory of us dragonborn to the world once again!"

"In the name of the Dragon Clan!"

Suddenly, thousands of lightning bolts flashed around the burly man Andrei, and he roared!

"In the name of the Dragon Clan!"

The earth around the mountain dragon churned like a tsunami, and at the same time responded with a deep voice.
