Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 159: Massive Battle - Players Enter, Ninth Tier Imminent

Continent of Calter, the Illusory Sea City!

"Your Highness's actions are intended to definitively declare our arrival to the evil alien races of this world!"

"Taking this city of great significance will be Your Highness's final declaration of war against the enemy. We must fight this battle well."

The monster army from Dawn City is still heading towards Illusion Sea City.

At this moment, Amos and the Saint-level magical beast Black Feather Panther had already broken away from the group and arrived at an altitude of 10,000 meters above the Illusion Sea City.

As soon as Amos finished speaking, the black-feathered panther 'Graham' nodded immediately.

"That's how it should be."

"However, the alien races in this world are certainly not weak. Isn't Your Highness being a little too radical in what you're doing?"

"Of course, I do not doubt Your Highness's or even the Dragon Clan's plans, but Amos, as you know, our current state as Saints is really difficult to sustain."

Amos glanced at Graham the panther and smiled calmly:
"Your Excellency Graham, you can rest assured about that."

"You should know that there are still five Saint-level magical beasts left behind in the Demon God Temple, but His Highness has sent you all to this world."

"If you think about it carefully, you will understand that His Highness sent you here with a reason, and of course, he would not let those who have made contributions fall into a state of imprisonment."

The leopard was taken aback, then its eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes.

How could the three of us possibly become cannon fodder?
If we're talking about who offended His Highness and Amos, the Aurora Bird would be number one, and the Golden Beetle would definitely be number two.

But the Golden Beetles are fine now, and they're even staying at the Demon God's Temple.

The fact that the three of them, including myself, were transferred to this world must be because His Highness had a plan for them.

With merit rewarded, the leopard Graham immediately thought of the giant elephant in the forest, and his eyes suddenly became inexplicably bright.

Of course, Black Feather Panther had initially suspected this possibility.

Is it really possible for His Highness to bestow upon the power of the dragon bloodline that extends lifespan simply by destroying a city without any Saint-level beings?

Feeling somewhat uneasy, he asked Amos again.

This can be considered a second confirmation of this possibility.

"Your Highness is merciful. Amos, you are truly fortunate to have His Highness's favor!"

"It's all just a choice made by fate, and perhaps it's inevitable."

Amos didn't want to say more about it, and Graham the Panther also stopped there.

At this moment, in the eyes of both of them, the troll's fantasy sea city was still quite large.

Along the coastline, this seaside city stretches at least ten kilometers horizontally.

The port was bustling with activity and a large flow of people, but the majority of them were human slaves, as the manual labor required for shipbuilding had been largely taken over by them.

The more technical jobs are what ordinary troll technicians do.

The population here is incomparable to that of Farm City and Copperhammer City, and its prosperity is also quite remarkable.

Moreover, looking down from the horizon, Amos and the leopard Regham also discovered that there were quite a few troll villages and towns built around this sea city.

With the monsters that have been mobilized so far, the power to break through and kill these trolls is definitely sufficient.

But it's inevitable that some will slip through the net.

The area is too vast; there's nothing we can do about it.

Just like when Link conquered Farm City, York and the monsters did manage to wipe out quite a few guys when they cleared out the surrounding small towns.

After all, some people will always be out, and some will always be hiding.

Trolls themselves also possess considerable supernatural power and various supernatural items.

Although few trolls can escape, there will always be some.

Fortunately, Lin Ke never intended to hide it from the beginning.

As a result, Illusion Sea City is already on guard, and both the main city and the surrounding small towns have been illuminated by the glow of magical barriers.

But for Lin Ke, it simply means that he will need to spend a little more time.

How many high-level trolls could there be in these two cities?

Now, Linkoke has control over the entire Monster Mountain Range.

He commands over three hundred high-level magical beasts, including nearly sixty ninth-tier magical beasts.

That's more than enough to deal with two troll cities.

Moreover, the governor of the troll colony city in the south is currently away.

Could there be a better time?

Whether the trolls' three main cities had reacted by then was of no concern to Linko.

He won't lack even Saint-level magical beasts.

Not to mention, the trolls are still on an expedition to another world. Even if the remaining power in the current world reacts, Lin Ke believes it should be enough for him to advance to the Saint rank or even higher in a short time.

So there's not much to say.

Just as the Warcraft army began to breach numerous troll villages and towns.

The alarm bells had already been ringing in the two troll cities.

Unfortunately, when Amos and other Saint-level magical beasts made their move...

The so-called magical barriers in these cities are no different from those made of paper!

The existence of the Saint rank signifies transcendence and sainthood.

In any world, it cannot be considered a mortal life form in the strict sense.

Its approximate position is somewhere between mortals and gods.

The existence of Saint-level beings is extremely crucial in terms of power, and they are also the most important top-tier combat force in the wars of the mortal world!
The more Saint-level beings a civilization has, the more initiative it will have in worldly wars.

Of course, this is not inevitable.

After all, if a low-magic world possessed an industrial level similar to that of Earth and had superior magical scientific research, while Saint-ranked beings might not be everywhere, there would certainly be no shortage of strange and powerful artifacts.

In that case, even if the gods of this world were to fall, it's likely that any ordinary civilization would suffer a great loss in the mortal battlefield.

Lin Ke even suspected that the trouble the trolls were facing in that conquering world might be similar to this situation.

But it's hard to say for sure, since different civilizations will definitely have different cultivation systems.

Even the local area produces some strange minerals and items, so it's hard to say what exactly happened to the trolls.

"A Saint-level demon?"

"Are you kidding me? The news from Farm City is actually true?"

"But why?! These are two Saint-level demonic creatures!!! How is this possible!!!"

After Amos and the Demon Panther shattered the magical barrier of the Illusion Sea City, many mid- to high-ranking trolls were plunged into despair!
The power of a Saint!
This is definitely not something they can handle!

The current empire has long since deployed the holy-rank trolls of this world to the battlefields of the new world.

How many Saint-level trolls are left on the continent of Calter?

These high-ranking trolls were unaware of the exact number, but it was impossible for them to number more than two hands.

It's important to know that in the Troll Empire's danger rating system, the current world of Kalter is already considered one of the worlds that has been completely conquered by the Troll Empire.

Although there are still a few powerful professionals among humans in this world, their numbers are extremely small, and most of them have fled overseas.

Therefore, in the eyes of the troll empire, annihilating them was only a matter of time, and there was no need to leave too much power behind.

As for the monsters on the mainland?

The Troll Empire has been wiped out several times over the past 150 years, so there is absolutely no way that any Saint-level beings could remain.

That is why the Troll Empire has left so little power in this world.

But what's the situation now?
The trolls in the illusionary sea city were unaware of this.

But one thing they also knew was that a new crisis had indeed emerged on the continent of Calter.

Such a crisis might not even come from a counterattack by local forces, but from another distant and powerful civilization that may be eyeing the world of Calter.

Only this explanation makes sense.

However, regardless of what these trolls think, at this moment, they still have to face the harsh reality.

After Amos and the magic leopard broke through the magical barrier of the Illusion Sea City.

Of the tens of thousands of magical beasts that were originally besieging the city, the mid- to high-level magical beasts had already launched an attack immediately.

They will hunt any mid- to high-ranking trolls that they set their sights on.

We will strive to ensure that no one escapes.

As for the low-level and unranked magical beasts, they are waiting for the orders of the high-level magical beasts.

Once the high-level magical beasts have successfully eliminated the mid-to-high-level trolls, the group of magical beasts will swarm in and begin to exterminate the low-level trolls and troll city guards within the city.

in this world.

Lin Ke's army of monsters had no martial ethics whatsoever, nor did they know how to practice them.

There are instances where soldiers and generals face off against each other, but these are rare.

For example, when high-level magical beasts hunt high-level trolls, they don't mind destroying the surrounding low-level trolls or even armies of unranked trolls in the process. Under normal circumstances, how could an ordinary mortal army withstand a single strike from a high-level magical beast?

Not to mention that the number of mid-to-high-level magical beasts attacking the city this time was three to five times greater than the number of trolls.

Such a war cannot even be called a war; it is a one-sided massacre!

Lin Ke never participated in either of these wars.

These two siege battles in different regions ended very quickly.

But clearly, this is just the beginning.

Yes.

This time, Lin Ke did not intend to advance the war step by step.

After Amos and the Panther Graham destroyed the Illusion Sea City, only a few hundred human legions from Dawn City remained to guard the human slaves.

The monster army continued its journey along the coast towards another city.

As for the other two Saint-level magical beasts in the northeast, they are also rapidly advancing the war according to Lin Ke's instructions.

These two Saint-level magical beasts even split the magical beast army in two, each attacking the two other troll cities closest to them.

Thus, in the world of Carthus.

A racial war comparable to the one that engulfs the continent of Auckland is brewing.

Meanwhile, a constant stream of monsters continued to pour out of the Gate of Truth in the direction of Dawn City.

These monsters continuously joined the battlefield, and the terrifying monster tide they formed even split into six waves in less than ninety days of the simulation. They quickly destroyed all the troll villages and cities they could see with the force of autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Not a single troll was spared; they all became food for the monsters.

This terrifying war is a feast for the monsters.

The monsters' ferocity was fully unleashed, and they became incredibly bloodthirsty and excited.

Therefore, although many monsters died or were injured in the course of this war, many monsters that had devoured trolls of different ranks were also rapidly advancing in rank.

The strategy of using war to sustain war is correct.

It's also more suitable for Warcraft.

In fact, in Lin Ke's plan, he would only choose to temporarily stop when more than 40% of the non-ranked magical beasts in the entire Magical Beast Mountain Range were lost.

And how many unranked magical beasts are there in the entire Magical Beast Mountain Range, under the control of the nine main peaks?
The number definitely exceeds tens of millions!
Saint-level magical beasts are not human, and they don't keep track of the number of magical beasts under their command. Therefore, the current data is just a rough estimate by Lin Ke himself.

In short, the number of unranked magical beasts suitable for large-scale battles is definitely no less than this number, and may even be three to five times more.

Although it cannot compare to the population of over a billion people in human nations.

But you have to understand that the reason why monsters are monsters is precisely because they prefer the law of the jungle.

Warcraft is born for war! Its only flaw is that most Warcraft aren't very smart.

Therefore, judging solely from combat strength, its overall power is not much weaker than that of human nations, and may not even be weaker.

Thus, just as it was about time for Linko to meet with the various dragon species of the Auckland continent, the monsters had already destroyed more than sixteen major troll cities.

Half of the entire southern region of the trolls has fallen into the hands of Linko's beast horde.

Wherever the monsters went, nothing could survive.

Human slaves were the only ones whose lives were guaranteed under Linko's orders.

As for the trolls, in their current state, no one can surrender even if they want to.

As the battle lines stretched further apart, many monsters, driven by their desire for food, refused to accept the trolls' surrender.

Anyway, nobody knows, so what if I ate it?
Furthermore, Link didn't emphasize how many trolls should be left alive.

Therefore, in every troll city that the beast tide reached, it was considered the best-case scenario if a troll managed to survive with a hundred or so prisoners.

However, the trolls have clearly realized what was happening!

In the world of Calter, trolls from all sides are continuously arriving to support the southern troll city.

Among them, two Saint-rank trolls from the three major troll cities have already made their move.

Currently, in the central part of the southern border of Calter, it is confronting three Saint-level magical beasts, including Amos.

And under his command, there were even nearly a hundred trolls at the peak of the ninth rank.

These guys carried items with power comparable to that of a Saint-level being, which posed a significant deterrent to the beast tide.

Only then did the battlefield come to a slight halt.

But this pause is only temporary.

Because the Saint-level trolls are testing the strength of the beast tide Amos and other magical beasts, they almost never engage in a life-or-death struggle right away.

And the same is true for holy-level magical beasts like Amos.

Now, nearly ninety days have passed, and the other three Saint-level magical beasts have already received Lin Ke's reward and have all gained new life.

Therefore, they put in even more effort on the battlefield.

In the third mutual probing four days ago, the panther Graham even fought a Saint-level troll to the point that both of them were seriously injured.

Lin Ke remained silent in response.

However, as things stand, Lin Ke has no immediate plans to make a move.

Lets see.

Lin Ke did not intend to expose himself, but was waiting for the ninety days to come to a complete end.

At that time, the world will surely face an even greater and more terrifying attack from dragons!

It wasn't just the dragon race and its descendants who made the move. This time, when Lin Ke had Angelina's family summon dragons to pay homage to him, he didn't emphasize that it was necessary to completely conceal this from all races.

Presumably, when the dragons from various races across the continent come to pay homage to him, there will also be many onlookers from each race.

Lin Ke has high expectations for this.

Because at that very moment, Linke believed he had the power to control the entire situation on the Auckland continent.

Sixteen troll cities were destroyed.

In the actual game, rewards were not distributed to Lin Ke on a city-by-city basis.

Because the war was still ongoing, and three days ago, when Lin Ke ordered all the monsters and trolls to form a stalemate and no longer launch attacks easily.

In other words, after the temporary ceasefire declaration, Lin Ke's timely settlement reward appeared the next day!

Perhaps due to the appearance of Saint-level magical beasts, the difficulty of the war has been reduced.

The rewards for this settlement are not as high as those for Link's solo conquest of the troll city, but they are still quite considerable when accumulated.

[Congratulations to the lead player for launching a massive campaign and achieving unimaginable success in the first phase of the war.]

[The war is currently at a standstill. Once you launch a new offensive, the second phase of the war evaluation system will recalculate your settlement rewards.]

You have now received a 150% bonus to your growth rate!

[In addition, you have received three extra rewards that are no less valuable than high-level items.]

[Random item distribution begins.]

Lin Ke didn't pay much attention to the item rewards.

What he cared more about was the news that the actual game would provide later, which was definitely a positive development for him.

The second phase of the large-scale campaign can begin at any time. Furthermore, as the operator, you can choose to issue a war recruitment order before launching the second phase!

[War Recruitment Order: This will be announced server-wide. Players who accept the war recruitment will be teleported to a relatively safe area on the front lines of the battlefield within half an hour before the battle begins.]

This is a moment to showcase the ultimate influence of top players. All player war rewards are paid out in real-world funds, and all you need to do is confirm whether you're willing to issue a war recruitment notice.

War recruitment?

Since the game has already given such a hint, Lin Ke naturally has to start it.

However, players only have one life, and their current strength can't keep up with their own and the beast tide's progress. It seems that for now, they can only serve as support characters on the battlefield to loot.

What's all this about?

Is this a way of letting players experience the brutality of a massive battleground in advance?
Or perhaps, the real game is warming up for the large-scale real-world war missions that will soon be coming to Earth?

In this war recruitment, Lin Ke's subjective intention was still to have players uniformly resettle the human slaves who had been captured by the troll cities.

They might even occasionally send these guys to attack small troll villages or towns, or even just to deal with the remaining trolls left behind by the beast tide.

As for the others, I won't consider them much.

Lin Ke was puzzled at that moment.

Am I still deducing the future?
What will happen in reality once this recruitment notice is issued?
Suddenly, in the early hours of the morning, all players received a notification? They accepted the war recruitment, and then everyone went straight to sleep?

Lin Ke didn't know, but he was quite curious.

However, these things are no longer important now.

Now that he has reached the ninth rank, he can choose to break through at any time. What he is looking forward to next is the moment when he summons all the dragon species of the Auckland continent.

And so, it only took two days.

Finally, Lin Ke returned to the Monster Mountain Range and reappeared in the familiar square of the Demon God Temple.
