288 Fighting Back!
Strangely enough, the spears seemed to pass through weak flesh and not sturdy scales. They penetrated my dragons like they were pieces of tofu, instantly killing all the five without exception.
Yet the remaining three vanished inside the hole and from there, I heard loud roars and scary screams of agony coming from down there.
*Fwoosh!*
As everything happened so fast, my reaction was also superb. Without thinking about it, I moved my chariot, directly passing through that hole with my fastest speed.
My chariot looked like a lightning bolt, creating a series of afterimages while flashing so damn fast through that hole. Just as I passed through it, I spotted hundreds of these arrows roaring towards the direction of the hole.
Few hit my shield, yet most bypassed my chariot and flew through empty air. Things didn’t look that great though. After all, what I found myself facing was a situation resembling that of a deadly trap.
The hole wasn’t linked directly to the inside of the shield. Instead it was like the shield was formed of two separate layers, and I just passed towards that gap between the two.
And that wasn’t all. That space was extending to every direction like it was really enveloping the entire shield. And inside, I found lots of forces waiting for me there.
These forces stood over the lower layer as if it was ground. The distance between the two layers wasn’t much wider than fifty metres, greatly limiting my chariot mobility.
With just one simple move and ahead preparations, this scary enemy rendered my top advantage into nothing.
But if Hectors did their best here to get rid of me, it was only normal for me to up the game in respect to them.
“Come back!” without even thinking about it twice, I instantly called back my chariot in one of the rare occasions to do this. “Come forth!” and in the next breath I summoned my dragons, stood over the back of one of them.
It was one of my earliest dragons, one who reached level two hundred. Its body was much bigger than the other one hundred dragons, and its stats and speed were much higher.
I just summoned one hundred dragons, and in one roaring shout I gave them one simple order.
“Unleash your ultimate breaths now!”
“Roar!”
My dragons were my summoned warriors. They always followed my orders by letter and without the need for any speculations.
Just as I gave the order, they roared and instantly executed it.
And in a flash, even before I could see the faces of my enemies, the one hundred dragons covered the lower layer with a myriad of deadly breaths that ate away any foe without exception. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
Just the span of such a deadly attack coming from one hundred dragons was enough to clear an area spanned in miles around.
The world here turned all deadly silent. All the shouts, angry roars, and even screams and curses were all silenced. They were either wiped out or too terrified to even breathe.
In that rare moment of peace, I started to take a better look over the enemies I had. There were almost hundreds of thousands of cannon fodders, led by a few of the Hectors.
Yet that was before my dragons unleashed gates of hell upon them. Right now I was sure at least eighty percent of the closest forces to me were killed.
That was almost half of the entire force here. After all, the enemy seemed to gather almost one half of his forces in one direction.
It was roughly two miles away from here. Without the need to go there and see, it was the second hole, the real entrance to Cambridge city.
“Come out now!” but just thinking about having such annoying forces high in the air made me a bit nervous. After all, they would be protected by this damn shield.
If they could easily attack anyone on the ground down below, then this fight would be much more desperate than I imagined.
I couldn’t tolerate letting such a thing happen. So without the need to gamble or take any unneeded risks here, I summoned twenty thousand soulers and let them loose over the enemies.
My soulers was the best match for these forces here. At the same time, these forces were mostly formed of cannon fodders.
They wouldn’t pose any much threat to my precious soulers. Even thinking about calling for some of the fallen gods to help was out of the question.
My soulers were enough, more than enough to wipe such forces out. As I summoned them at an area void of any deadly dragon fire, I started to fly directly towards the second hole.
Waiting here was like being a setting duck, waiting for slaughter. Even if I held the upper hand over the enemy at the current moment, there was no guarantee this would continue.
After all this was the enemy homeland, the place they knew better and best. Just look at this simple tactic they used to defend the hole here. It was simply enough to threaten my life.
I couldn’t let myself stay here any longer. So I patted over my dragon ride’s back, letting him fly fast towards the hole like a bullet.
I heard many shouts from down below. It seemed the surviving Hectors were trying to regroup and reignite the lost morale of their forces.
But I didn’t worry about that. The first thing I did was to call back the entire hundred dragons. After all, they did a marvellous job here, and they deserved to rest.
Just as I was so close to the second hole, the enemy already gathered up enough forces to start a counter attack. Yet even before they would launch a single arrow from the more advanced ballistae than mine, I launched my attack first.
*Rumble!* *Rumbl!* *Rumble!*
I simply summoned twenty lightning fallen gods, let them unleash one wave of their ultimate attacks, before calling them back.
