Chapter 1435 Epoch Change! New God's Encounters 12 (Page 12)
Three chapters in one!
Deep blue dragon flames poured down from the sky like an inverted galaxy, instantly covering an area of hundreds of kilometers in radius, and continued to spread exponentially to an even wider area as time went on.
Due to the disparity in strength, the high-ranking allied forces who came out to check the situation were immediately engulfed by the terrifying deep blue dragon flames.
And this was just the attack from one White Walker dragon!
The combined dragonfire of the multiple Otherworldly dragons quickly covered an area spanning tens of millions of kilometers.
Even though these attacks did not converge but instead exploded in spots within the coalition camp, they still caused immense panic among all coalition members.
"Damn it, what's going on? How can those damn monsters approach so silently?"
A mid-level officer in the coalition forces roared angrily at his intelligence personnel.
"They didn't approach silently; it's just that these damned monsters came too fast, and the news from the front lines hadn't even had time to get through."
Another mid-level officer in the allied forces looked at the intelligence that had just been delivered to him, which he hadn't yet had time to report to the allied high command, with a grim expression.
"These incomprehensible monsters!"
"Counterattack! Counterattack now! Quickly organize our forces for a counterattack! We can't let those monsters continue to run rampant, or the morale of the entire coalition will be ruined!"
"Yes! Counterattack!"
"Except for the magic cannons used to defend the front lines, all other magic cannons should immediately turn and aim at the sky, and shoot down all those damned monsters in the air!"
"Where are the mages who can fly? Hurry up and hold those sons of bitches back! Stop standing around doing nothing!"
A jumble of noises rang out, but thanks to the constant command of the various mid-level commanders of the coalition forces, the entire coalition camp managed to avoid a complete mutiny.
Under their command, they even began to launch a limited number of effective counterattacks.
……
Unfortunately, all of this was done too hastily, and the White Walker dragons flying in the sky were too agile, so that none of the White Walker dragons were shot down in the short term.
"This can't go on! We must immediately inform Chief Rolin and have him recall the dragon knights from the front lines. Only dragons can deal with those monsters!"
As yet another sorcerer who attempted to take to the sky to restrain the Otherworldly dragon fell to the ground, his body turned into an "ice sculpture" by the dragonfire, everyone realized the problem.
Immediately, many mid-level allied troops tried to contact Chief Rolin in the command fortress, unaware that all the high-ranking allied troops were already preoccupied with their own problems.
At this moment, the first Otherworldly dragon to unleash its dragonfire upon the Allied forces' command fortress had already engaged in combat with the Allied high command who had reacted within the fortress.
Karen, seated atop the White Walker dragon, hovered high in the sky, coldly surveying the battle raging below.
As the mount of Karen, this largest White Walker dragon was undoubtedly exceptionally powerful, perhaps even stronger than any single high-ranking member of the Allied Forces.
In this situation, the Allied high command could only join forces to fight the Otherworldly dragons in order to gain a little breathing space.
The coalition's middle ranks primarily sought to contact Chief Rolin, who was training a massive dragon as the main force against the even larger Otherworldly dragon, while the other high-ranking coalition members served mainly as support.
Even so, when they went all out, they could only slightly suppress the White Walker dragons. Moreover, because the White Walker dragons also possessed pseudo-undead characteristics, it was uncertain how long this suppression could last.
The remaining high-ranking allied forces who hadn't yet taken action were also too busy to respond to the messages from the mid-levels; all their attention was focused on the Night King in the sky, who, though he hadn't made a move, was coldly watching them.
……
"I can't sense his presence, but why do I feel this inexplicable sense of panic?"
"A high-ranking Allied officer, who was keeping a close eye on Night King Karen, said with great unease."
"I had only observed it from afar using magical means before, but I didn't expect that this monster would be even more difficult to deal with than I imagined after we actually met it."
The expression on the face of another burly barbarian leader was equally unpleasant, but it was more of a frenzy for the impending battle.
"Don't get carried away. That monster is unlike any enemy or opponent you've ever faced. A slight mistake could mean the end for you."
Seeing the restless expressions on the barbarian leaders' faces, a high-ranking member of the allied forces couldn't help but speak up to warn them.
"I'm not that stupid."
The barbarian leaders frowned in displeasure but said nothing more.
Throughout, Night King Karen, who was high above in the sky, didn't care at all about the thoughts of the higher-ups below.
Or rather, the dialogues among the coalition leaders, and their possible thoughts, were merely wishful thinking on their part.
If it were an era before the Dragon Age, a Grand Magister born at the peak of the magical tide would still have the ability to make Karen take it seriously and even be wary.
Due to the limitations of the world and the constant targeting by the source of magic over the years, Karen's strength is at most comparable to that of a Grand Magus in that state.
If he were to be ganged up on by multiple archmages, even if his "silence" ability countered magic attacks, there was still a high probability that he would be defeated on the spot.
However, when it came to these high-ranking members of the allied forces, Karen, while still wary of the possible contingency plans of the magical source, did not feel any pressure.
Ultimately, although the continent of Frantis was thriving during the Dragon Era, and even had 24 dragon king families, which were considered "colossal" entities, it was not without its challenges.
But ultimately, it was a new civilization that emerged during a relatively stable phase of the magical tide, and it's even uncertain whether it even gave rise to beings at the level of the Super Saint Realm.
At least in Karen's current perception, there are no beings of this level among the high-ranking allied forces below.
If it weren't for the fact that he was targeted by the source of magic, Karen would have already led his army of White Walkers to sweep across the continent of Frantis.
……
Just as the Allied high command was locked in a standoff with Karen, and the rear of the Allied forces was thrown into chaos by the sudden attack of the Otherworldly dragons, a new change was taking place on the front lines of the battlefield.
Before Karen left, he had already given the order to launch a full-scale attack on the White Walker army. At this moment, countless wights and White Walkers were frantically advancing the battle line.
They didn't care about their own lives or deaths at all; the destruction of their fellow humans wasn't even enough to make them pause for a moment.
These monsters have long lost the emotions and cognition that normal life forms should have. Apart from their instinctive malice towards life forms of opposing attributes, their only value is to obey the orders of the Night King, Karen.
On the other hand, the chaos in the Allied forces' rear has somewhat affected their response at the front.
When those White Walker dragons broke through the barriers erected at the front and rushed into the rear of the allied forces, considerable unrest had already broken out among the allied troops at the front.
Since they had not received any new orders from Patriarch Lorin, all the dragon riders were still carrying out Patriarch Lorin's last order, which was to use the power of the dragons to destroy as many wights and other ghosts as possible.
Without this order, if the dragons and dragon riders had continued fighting the White Walker dragons, the situation behind the Allied forces might have been much better.
At this moment, these dragon knights still had not received orders from their clan leader, but they had indeed noticed the unrest behind the allied forces.
For a moment, all the dragon knights hesitated whether to ride their dragons back to the rear of the allied forces to provide support, temporarily abandoning their attack on the White Walker army below.
Fortunately, someone made the decision for them.
……
"Ho!"
Whoosh!
Giant ice spears formed from frost shot into the sky, raining down upon the swirling dragons.
This wasn't the first time the White Walker army had launched such an attack on the dragon in the sky, but the previous attempts hadn't been very successful.
As a secondary creation of the first White Walker born in the "Silent Zone" through the secret interference of a certain great being, all wights and White Walkers possess pseudo-immortality.
However, this also creates other flaws in them.
That means that, apart from Karen and those White Walkers who were born with the ability to fly, there are no other combat units in the entire White Walker army that can fly.
This puts them at a disadvantage when dealing with air combat units, which is why they developed the current ground-to-air attack method.
Having learned from previous experiences, the dragon knights shouldn't have encountered any unexpected problems during this ice spear attack, but the unexpected did happen so suddenly.
Because some attention was diverted by the commotion behind the Allied forces, more than one dragon knight failed to notice the ice spears below in time, and their dragons were also affected.
And then... tragedy struck.
Chi Chi Chi!
The dense ice spears arrived in an instant, and by the time the distracted dragon knights reacted, it was too late to dodge.
The dense barrage of ice spears blocked the dragon's escape route, leaving it with no choice but to withstand the attack.
"Roar!"
Amidst the agonizing roars of the dragon, some ice spears pierced the membranes of its wings, some penetrated its relatively vulnerable abdomen, and others went straight through its long neck...
……
"No! Lux!"
A dragon knight cried out in distress, but this did little to alleviate his current predicament.
Even worse, as the dragon writhed in agony, the dragon knight's figure was exposed, and a relatively thin ice spear pierced through his body.
There were several others in similar situations, all of whom lost their lives because of being distracted.
As close kinsmen, the remaining dragon knights who had dodged the ice spears all stared with bloodshot eyes at the White Walker army below.
At this moment, they had no thought whatsoever about returning to reinforce the rear of the allied forces; their minds were filled with the idea of burning those damned monsters below to ashes.
And so, one distinct word after another came from the mouths of these dragon riders, the names of the dragons they rode.
In addition, all the dragon knights uttered the same word.
"Dragon Flame!"
In an instant, the White Walker army, which had just used ice spears to kill several dragons and dragon riders, was met with the wrath of all the remaining dragon riders.
Thick, river-like streams of dragonfire descended from the sky, relentlessly annihilating the White Walker army.
Although there are not many original dragons that are truly in the first tier among these dragons, the dragon flames of the remaining second, third and fourth generation dragons are relatively small.
But the combined effect of so many dragons' dragon fire was already quite awe-inspiring.
The air on the ground is heating up rapidly, even exceeding the highest temperature in midsummer by several times.
The constantly intersecting pillars of flame painted a cruel and destructive pattern on the earth.
Under the dragonfire attack that exceeded its limits, most of the wights and ghouls were burned to ashes, except for a very few stronger White Walkers.
