Chapter 503 - 508: Going All Out
Chapter 503 - 508: Going All Out
Hang Yu and Kuivitan entered the magical city named Blackthorn City.
The internal structure of the city was more fantastical than imagined, with a circle of round city walls enclosing several large pyramids. The central pyramid was the largest, serving as the main area of the city, while the other pyramids each had their own functions.
What surprised Hang Yu was.
This city had an army, and a large number of intelligent species.
The races present were diverse, mainly consisting of the Naga race, along with members including dwarves, goblins, and Flood Dragon People. All the leaders were members of the alliance.
When they learned that the powerful Deep Sea Demon King had been slain.
They all displayed an expression of disbelief.
The Deep Sea Demon King was a King Monster!
In the Earth Dragon Realm, aside from the Mad Dragon Heska, was there yet another King Level powerhouse? Otherwise, how could a strong individual from an unknown race possibly defeat the Deep Sea Demon King single-handedly?
Hang Yu asked, "What is the situation in this place?"
Kuivitan explained, "We discovered this city decades ago, initially intending to use it to launch a surprise attack on Dragon Ridge."
"Unexpectedly, before we could fully restore the city, the Mad Dragon King became wary of the expansion of alliance forces, and instantly destroyed the strongholds of the major provinces, completely severing our connections with our land-based allies."
"To avoid the Mad Dragon King, we had to proactively cut off all contact with external allies. It’s quite ironic that what was intended to be a secret weapon against Heska became our refuge for survival."
That’s the general situation.
Hang Yu learned through conversation that.
Kuivitan is a Quasi-Master Level Artifact Refiner.
He is also a powerful individual close to Governor level.
This floating city, driven by magic-guidance, has very powerful Strength, and is a beacon of hope in overthrowing the Mad Dragon King’s rule. It must not be discovered by Heska, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
Unexpectedly.
In these years, they did not dare to reveal themselves.
Yet in the end, someone still found their way in.
Hang Yu was frank about his purpose in coming here.
Kuivitan was very surprised, "The alliance forces are directly confronting Heska again?"
Hang Yu said, "This time, we have firmly occupied one of the Nine Great Provinces, the Desert Province. Next, we will have more intense conflicts with Heska. We need the Strength of Blackthorn City and your forces."
Kuivitan understood Hang Yu’s intentions.
But he showed a troubled expression.
"I’ve personally witnessed the terror and despair brought by the Mad Dragon King. I don’t believe there exists a force in this world capable of confronting him." Kuivitan shook his head, "As the Guardian of Blackthorn City, I cannot rashly use this city of hope as a gamble."
Hang Yu said, "But if this city cannot be used against Heska, then its existence becomes meaningless and without value."
Kuivitan still did not change his stance, "The Mad Dragon King has survived for over seven hundred years. Eventually, there will come a time when it comes to an end. When he falls, the alliance will rise again. What we need to do now is wait patiently."
Shocked.
Such an impressive tactic?
The ultimate strategy of the Blackthorn Alliance.
Is to wait out the time until the big boss dies of old age?
"No one knows how long Heska’s rule will last. Plus, when one Mad Dragon King falls, soon another will rise. Escaping won’t solve the problem."
These folks must have been beaten down back in those days.
That’s why such a passive mindset emerged.
Now, the task is to instill confidence in them.
"Heska, as a Golden King, will have no problem living for another five to eight hundred years. Are you sure the alliance will still exist then?" Hang Yu said, "Right now, there is a great opportunity to defeat Heska. If we miss this opportunity, the Earth Dragon Realm may never escape from the shadow of the Mad Dragon King."
Kuivitan was somewhat puzzled and asked, "What opportunity?"
Hang Yu pointed at himself, "The Human Race! The Descent Race! We are the biggest variable!"
After a brief explanation.
"The legendary Descent Race really exists?" Kuivitan was evidently shocked, realizing that Heska’s war this time was not because of the Blackthorn Alliance, but was somehow related to this newly emerged race.
In the style of the Mad Dragon King.
If not for the real threat from the other side.
He would not have launched such a hasty large-scale offensive.
As for the strength of this human? There’s no need to test this; the fact that he defeated the Deep Sea Demon King alone already proves his formidable strength!
Kuivitan initially assumed that Hang Yu had been cultivating for at least thirty to fifty years, only to discover upon inquiry that Hang Yu had been in the Spirit Realm for a total of about a year!
Only about a year!
From a weakling!
He had leaped to become a strong individual capable of challenging and killing a level 17 King Monster single-handedly!
Kuivitan took a deep breath, such terrifying growth potential and speed, anyone else, even the Mad Dragon King, would likely have made the same decisions he did!
Could it really be a heaven-sent opportunity?
Hang Yu then presented various pieces of evidence, proving that the Human Race was worth expecting, such as the Human Realm behind the Human Race, the number of humans in the Earth Dragon Realm, and demonstrated unique abilities like crossing dimensions to Kuivitan.
Kuivitan was caught in hesitation.
It seems undeniable that humans are the Descenders.
Now that the Human Race has become a member of the alliance, isn’t this a heaven-sent opportunity? If this chance is missed, there are only two possible outcomes.
First, the Human Race, in cooperation with the land alliance forces, defeats the Mad Dragon King. When the Human Race dominates this world and gives out rewards, the position of the people of Blackthorn City could become quite awkward.
Second, the Human Race fails to defeat the Mad Dragon King and is instead annihilated by him, wiping out the hard-earned alliance forces on land over these decades, and Blackthorn City will fall back into a waiting despair.
Hang Yu saw that Kuivitan was wavering.
He presented another item, "I once encountered the remnants of the soul of the High-level Goblin Magical Potion Master, Samuel, and this Copper Whistle is a token he gave me, at least in Samuel’s eyes, the Human Race is worthy of expectation."
"Samuel’s token?!"
Samuel was once a Guardian of Blackthorn City, too.
Unfortunately, he was captured by the Mad Dragon King Heska and died with regret.
Kuivitan did not expect that after Samuel’s fall, his remaining consciousness would actually communicate with these humans, could it really be fate’s arrangement?
Though still hard to decide.
But Kuivitan was already wavering.
Just one last push needed!
Hang Yu crossed back once to Jiang City, and after a few dozen minutes appeared again in Blackthorn City, but this time, he had one more person with him.
Kuivitan was shocked, "Tasia! You’re actually alive!"
Tasia and Kuivitan were also old acquaintances.
Tasia had experienced the near destruction of the Blackthorn Alliance in the past.
At that time Tasia was just an awakening novice and never entered Blackthorn City.
Tasia knew both Kuivitan and Samuel, but back then she was just a young junior to the latter two.
Over the past few decades, Tasia had been active, traveling among the Nine Great Provinces, and even when Nazg joined the alliance, Tasia had been the one behind the scenes facilitating the introduction.
Tasia even became a Master Level Producer.
Her status in the alliance naturally rose.
Tasia clearly was also absolutely supportive of the Human Race. With her joining and persuasion, Kuivitan finally decided, "The six hundred plus members and nine thousand soldiers of Blackthorn City are willing to join the battle, ready to follow orders!"
Finally done!
Blackthorn City was obviously a man-made city.
Its functions were not comprehensive, unlike a real city.
But within this city, there were also a small number of Spirit Realm Steles, capable of establishing a small army, and the elite level of these eight thousand Blackthorn City soldiers was no less than the Dragon Ridge Legion!
......
Desert Province, Gale City.
While Hang Yu was completing his mission.
Nazg, wielding a War Axe, stood atop the city wall.
Xu Tianhua, Zhao Ming, and others each gripped their weapons and shields tightly, their expressions extremely solemn.
Because.
On the horizon ahead.
An enormous army appeared.
Zhao Ming said, "The Dragon Ridge Army has destroyed eight small territories in a row, and now they’re finally launching an attack on Gale City. Isn’t there any news from Hang Yu’s side yet?"
Xu Tianhua shook his head, "Not yet, with the impending battle, it seems he can’t make it back in time."
"Don’t get distracted!" Nazg spoke up, "The army in front of us should be the vanguard led by the Hurricane Dragon General and Slaughter Dragon General. Regardless, we must block this wave of attack!"
Zhao Ming sighed, "It’s going to be a tough battle!"
Xu Tianhua felt the same, this battle was different from the previous ones, where regardless of how unfavorable things seemed, there was actually a good chance of success.
But now Gale City would face the onslaught of the Dragon Ridge Army.
The Dragon Ridge Legion was incredibly strong.
Even if Gale City could withstand this wave of attacks, the city would likely be mostly destroyed, and personnel would be severely lost. Furthermore, it’s heard that Heska is on his way!
