Chapter 308 - All-round Attack (1/2)
The combat strength of dragons had always been proportional to their age. Although they had a long lifespan, correspondingly, they needed a long time to grow.
However, the history of the Ashan world was almost entirely a history of war. Although a variety of races had evolved into all kinds of cultures, it also caused conflicts among the various races. Under these circumstances, if the dragons joined the other races to participate in their wars, it would inevitably cause many dragons not to have the time to grow strong enough.
Their reproductive ability was not high to begin with, and it could even be said that the number of dragons born every year was far fewer than the number of dragons that died in war. Over time, the age of the dragons that had been hired to join the various races was increasingly decreasing. Some dragons that were two to three hundred years old and had just reached adulthood might be intimidating to ordinary races, but it was naturally not enough if they met a powerful high-rank demon like Roy. This was why Roy and the others had not encountered any decent resistance when hunting all kinds of dragons, which made Roy feel that dragons were nothing much.
But in fact, when dragons crossed a thousand years of age, their power was absolutely astonishing and absolutely not to be underestimated. This was why Rafaro had been sparing no effort to resurrect and restore his flesh body.
And what Gem brought this time were thousand-year-old dragons that had survived many battles. There were thirty-two in total, and they were all gold dragons!
The dragon scales on these gold dragons were as dazzling as gold, shining under the sunlight. They were more than twice the size of ordinary dragons and almost as tall as those behemoths.
These thirty-two gold dragons were originally the guards of the Gold Dragon Queen. The wood elves had always been life-and-death allies with the gold dragons. Four years ago, Xeron and a group of demons had led an army to attack the Gold Dragon Queen. But this scheme had failed in the end, and the Gold Dragon Queen was still alive. This time, because Geru had died and the Sword of Frost was taken, the elves felt a deep sense of crisis, so when Gem led the troops out, the elves found the Gold Dragon Queen and borrowed her guards.
With thirty-two gold dragons as vanguards, hundreds of adult green dragons followed closely behind. The moment these enormous dragons flew, they covered the sky!
At this moment, Gem activated the power of the combination artifacts, Power of the Dragon Father, and an intense brilliance enveloped all the dragons!
Since it was called the Power of the Dragon Father, it naturally had a tremendous amplification effect on dragons. After this radiance enveloped all the dragons, as if Bloodlust had enhanced them, their bodies swelled.
The dragons let out cheerful roars, flapped their wings, and flew high into the sky. Then, under the lead of the gold dragons, they turned and began circling Ur-Hekal. After turning back again, the dragons lowered their heads and began to dive down!
After arriving not far above Ur-Hekal, dragons sprayed out dragon breaths into the city!
Flames, lightning, acid, the dragon breaths of three different attributes immediately ravaged the entire city of Ur-Hekal. The whole city plunged into a hell-like sea of flames, and countless demons began to scream.
The dragons did not descend directly into the city to attack. They knew that there were too many demons, and ants could bite an elephant to death. If they dared to land, the demons would definitely pile onto them to death, so they only circled and washed the land with dragon breaths.
Outside, the behemoths and siege equipment were bombarding the city wall, and the dragons were attacking in the sky. In addition, the elven rangers were borrowing the effect of Gem’s Archer’s Dream artifacts to shoot arrows like raindrops from afar. For a time, the demons in the entire city of Ur-Hekal were in a terrible situation.
Seeing the demons falling continuously in the city, the demon heroes in charge of commanding the battle became angry. They ordered the low-level demons to withdraw while dispatching their high-rank demons.
