Red dragon: in charge of natural disasters

The smoke of gunpowder filled the battlefield, and the sky seemed to be dyed with mottled colors. The two armies faced each other from a distance, and the air was solemn.

The dwarves did not move their troops and waited in full battle array, but the Empire did not rush to attack. Instead, they calmly arranged and deployed troops on the plain.

"Boom--"

Accompanied by a dull sound, the steam car carrying heavy artillery drove on the plain, and the ogres dragged the heavy artillery in twos and threes. The imperial troops moved quickly like a mottled torrent, forming a fairly orderly formation.

Even the two-legged dragons in the sky were lined up in formations, circling skillfully in the sky for several circles, and then descended to the ground one after another, landing near the supply armored vehicles.

"They are..."

Watching this scene, the dwarf king frowned.

In his imagination, the army of the Burning Empire should be like the orcs, relying on sharp teeth, hard scales and huge numbers to win, and should be a legion composed of brutal and crazy dragon blood monsters.

But in fact, the Burning Embers Legion seemed to be in good order, and even had stricter discipline and clearer tactics than the army of the Mountain Kingdom.

Bjorn came to the side of the Dwarf King and sighed softly: "Your Majesty, have you not noticed that the world has changed and a new era of war has arrived.

The people of the Harper Alliance sent a lot of news. When we dwarves were still mining and forging iron in the mountains, the firearms of those imperial people had spread all over the world."

"Is that so?" Ed lowered his head and smiled helplessly.

The situation is more serious than expected. It seems that letting Zen lead the tribe to migrate is definitely the right choice, Ed thought so.

The dwarves also talked about the deployment of the empire's army, but they were not afraid, but just felt confused and puzzled.

In the traditional concept of these brave and reckless dwarves, whoever has greater strength, whoever has harder weapons, and whoever is less afraid of death can win the war.

As for tactics - what is that?

"What are these damn invaders doing?"

"It doesn't matter. No matter what conspiracy these dragon followers have, we dwarves can smash their heads with hammers!"

"Orcs raise beasts!"

"Yes, these damn bastards, I want to avenge my dead compatriots!"

The dwarves were indignant, standing on the city wall, cursing and talking, using up all the vicious words in their heads, but still couldn't squeeze out many words.

But they didn't know at all: the Empire's artillery and air force bombing units have completed their deployment and are ready to launch a ruthless attack on Avendeldan.

On the hillside, the hobgoblin general Dror raised his saber high in his hand, and the sharp tip of the knife shone brightly in the sunlight.

Delor was full of vigor and high spirits. He looked at Avenderdan in the distance and ordered in a deep voice: "All troops, listen to the order - open fire!"

The saber suddenly fell, and the clear command sounded through the communicator throughout the Burning Legion and reached the ears of every officer and soldier.

"Fire coverage!"

The main guns of 327 heavy artillery pieces and 86 tanks fired at the same time. These steel-cast war machines made a deafening roar, and terrible flames burst out from the thick gun barrels.

"Boom--"

In an instant, the artillery fire roared, raising billowing dust and smoke, making the sky tremble and the earth roar.

At this moment, gray-brown tails appeared on the sky, like bloody scars scratched by sharp claws.

The shells dragged the flames, drew a graceful arc in the air, and bombarded the majestic dwarf fortress from a distance of thousands of meters.

"God, what is that?"

"What on earth is that? How is it possible? It's thousands of meters away!" The dwarves finally became a little panicked.

Looking up at such a grand scene, even the battle-hardened Eddard's expression suddenly changed, muttering to himself: "Father God Moradin is above"

At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of "a new era of war" in Bjorn's mouth.

Soon, the dwarf king realized that things were not going well. He turned around and shouted at the dwarves: "No! Quick, activate the protective magic circle!"

Because the enemy was still thousands of meters away, the priests and mages of the High Mountain Kingdom were completely unprepared, and were even waiting for the enemy's advance. They did not expect the artillery shells to fall from the sky.

But at this time, the artillery shells had already arrived above Avendeldan and fell rapidly towards the city wall-it was too late.

"Boom!"

A deafening sound rang out, and dozens of artillery shells exploded, creating a terrible explosion, bursting with fire and smoke.

The entire city wall was shaking violently, countless rubble fell, and even a large section of the city wall collapsed on the spot. Many dwarves were engulfed by the flames, and some were directly blown away.

Just one round of bombardment, many wounds appeared on the originally magnificent walls of Avenderdan, and hundreds of dwarves were buried in the sea of ​​fire.

You must know that after Zen led his people to migrate and the Road of Grinding fell, there were only more than 9,700 dwarf warriors in the entire Avenderdan, and the loss of hundreds of people was already heavy.

What's more, they haven't even come into contact with the imperial army. This is just a long-range bombardment!

No, to be more precise-it's a one-sided attack!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

One shell after another exploded, and the fierce flames and thick smoke almost engulfed the city wall. The broken shrapnel could easily cut off the dwarf's arms and even his head.

"Boom!"

A shell exploded in the crowded crowd, swallowing up the dwarf warriors who were caught off guard. When the smoke cleared, only a dozen charred bodies were left, whose lives were unknown.

As the king, Ed witnessed this scene with his own eyes, and was immediately anxious. His people were being slaughtered!

They didn't even die in the heroic war, but were brutally killed by the opponent's magical weapons that could create explosions!

"Damn it! I can't wait any longer!"

Ed gritted his teeth and pressed his hands on the ground, emitting a yellowish-brown light all over his body. He was willing to consume the little remaining vitality to activate the protective magic circle on the city wall.

"Buzz——"

The shelter of the mountains!

With a buzzing sound, the ancient dwarven runes on the walls of Avendeldan suddenly lit up.

The ground rumbled and roared continuously, and the majestic power of the mountains climbed up the city wall, gradually forming a thick shield to block the bombardment of the shells.

At the same time, Ed raised the hammer in his hand, howled to the sky, and uttered a deep roar.

In an instant, a yellowish-brown light bloomed from the hammer, and countless broken rocks flew into the air, intercepting dozens of shells and causing them to explode in the air.

Not only the dwarf king, but also the strong men among the dwarves used various means, either shooting arrows or throwing rocks to block the empire's shells.

There was also a reckless dwarf berserker who jumped high and faced the challenge, using a jump slash on the high-speed falling shells, which blew himself up and covered him with shrapnel.

However, the empire's offensive was far from over, and the bombardment was just an appetizer, followed closely by an air strike.

"Buzz--"

The eardrum-piercing explosion sounded through the sky, and dozens of two-legged dragons were seen lined up in a neat queue, cutting through the sky, and swooping down like sharp arrows.

The wings of these wyverns are equipped with sharp metal membranes, which allow them to easily cut the air and create a harsh sound.

Not only can it cause physical damage to the enemy, but it can also bring psychological deterrence. To this day, many Ethel people will tremble all over when they hear this sound, and will think of the terrible bombing.

Looking at the fierce wyverns coming from a distance, Ed secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly reminded: "Be careful of those dragons!"

"Shua——"

The wyverns flew over Avendeldan at high speed, and bombs fell like raindrops, landing on the heads of the dwarves and exploding one after another.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of explosions occurred on the top of the city, and the raging flames once again engulfed a large number of dwarves, and wailing echoed on the top of the city.

"Moradin!"

"Ah, my arm!"

The shelter of the mountains can withstand the shells that hit the city walls, but it is difficult to block the bombs that fall from the sky.

By the time the dwarves raised their heads and wanted to fight back, the wyverns had already climbed high into the sky and disappeared.

Watching his people being blown up one by one, Ed gradually accumulated anger in his heart.

"Boom!"

A bomb exploded directly beside him, but was blocked by the protective aura emitted from Ed's body, not hurting him at all, but making him look a little embarrassed.

The dwarf king didn't care about his blackened face, shook his head and whispered: "No, the fate of my people shouldn't be like this! They shouldn't die so meaninglessly"

Looking at the dragons flying in formation again, Ed's eyes were bloodshot, and he was about to spit out anger: "I will make you pay for your blood debt with blood!"

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Shu_Bar first published this novel.

Somewhere on the city wall, the dwarf crossbowmen were struggling to move the exaggerated steel crossbows that were more than three meters high, and they looked flustered.

Ed walked forward with a gloomy face, suppressing the anger in his heart, and growled: "You go away, let me do it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The dwarf crossbowmen hurriedly stepped aside and dared not intervene again.

And Ed came to the steel crossbow, skillfully moving, and steadily put the arrow on the crossbow.

Afterwards, he held the crossbow arm with one hand, aimed at the wyvern in the distance, and with the other hand he turned the huge winch, pulling the crossbow string, accumulating a huge force.

Finally, accompanied by a piercing scream, the group of wyverns flew into the range of the dwarf steel crossbow at a very fast speed.

"Go to hell!"

With a slight pull of the trigger, the arrow carried a huge kinetic energy, broke through the air, and instantly pierced the two wyverns.

"Ah——"

The wyvern wailed and fell from the sky, and the pilot behind it also fell, and soon died.

However, the dragons still maintained their original formation, and the flying dragons at the back filled in and continued to fly at high speed towards Avendeldan.

Iron wings cut through the sky, and the scream of death was heard again in the sky.

"Dare you come again? Damn reptiles."

Seeing this, Ed was angry, staring at the dragons in the distance with his eyes, his muscles tensed, and veins bulged.

The dwarf king shouted angrily, and a yellowish halo emanated from his body: "Evil dragon family, let me show you-"

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a roar, dust flew, and the wall under Ed's feet trembled a few times, and clear footprints appeared.

Ed jumped high, and with the blessing of the power of the mountains, this legendary dwarf warrior actually jumped hundreds of meters high, as if flying in the air.

He broke through the clouds and was already above the group of wyverns!

Facing the dragons that were coming in formation, Ed raised his warhammer and shouted at the top of his lungs: "The power of us dwarves as sons of the mountains!"

The hammer head of the metal warhammer emitted a bright yellow glow, and it broke through the air with terrible kinetic energy and power.

The dwarf king fell rapidly towards the dragon group, and behind him appeared the shadow of an extremely magnificent group of mountains, as if he was carrying a whole Blackstone Mountain and crushing him!

"Die--"

"Boom!"

The metal warhammer hit the chest of the leading wyvern, and a strong shock wave was released in the sky, creating a terrible storm.

In an instant, under this terrifying force, the leading wyvern exploded in the air, turning into blood flowers all over the sky, falling like rain, and not even a relatively complete body was left.

And this is just the beginning!

The bright yellow hurricane swept across the sky, mixed with endless sand and gravel, and continued to attack the many wyverns behind it.

"Ah--"

In this terrible storm, the wyverns screamed and flapped their wings vigorously, trying to break free, but they still couldn't escape the fate of being strangled into pieces.

Some of the bombs on the feet of the wyverns were triggered and exploded in the air, swallowing the bomber instead.

In an instant, under the attack of the legendary dwarf warriors, the twelve wyverns of this bombing formation were slaughtered without any resistance.

The blood and meat of the wyverns were scattered all over the sky, and Ed fell from the sky to the ground, smashing a deep pit on the ground.

The surrounding dust was flying and the ground was shaking, but the dwarf himself was unharmed, just holding the war hammer in his hand, staring at the Burning Legion in the distance.

"Bang!"

The loud gunshots resounded through the sky, and a bullet crossed a distance of more than a thousand meters and shot at the head of the dwarf king.

Then, gunshots rang out from different directions, and several more bullets attacked, aiming at the dwarf's eyebrows, neck, heart and other fatal parts.

——Those were the snipers of the Empire. After years of war experience, the Empire often set up more than a dozen sniper rifles to shoot the strong men on the opposite side.

In the Northern Esser War, many extraordinary Esser warriors died inexplicably under the concentrated fire of sniper rifle bullets.

However, after years of experience, Ed's intuition was like a prophecy, and his perception was far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The dwarf king had long anticipated the arrival of danger. He clenched his war hammer and swung it horizontally.

Countless pieces of rubble followed the command and hit the bullets in mid-air, changing the trajectory of the bullets in mid-air, causing them to deviate from their original direction.

Ed picked up the still hot shell on the ground, stared at the exquisite patterns on it, and whispered: "Anti-magic rune, piercing rune."

"Bang!"

Several bullets attacked again, and shells fell from the sky, but the dwarf king just raised his head calmly and raised his war hammer with one hand.

"It was so easy to block it?"

Behind the position of the Burning Empire, the hobgoblin general Drol was observing the dwarf king through a telescope, watching him easily resist the empire's special enchanted bullets.

Drool shook his head and sighed: "Tsk tsk, worthy of being the famous Lord of the Mountains, he is really good."

Then he turned around and ordered the adjutant beside him: "Tell Colonel Mir not to send any more air force formations. There is no need to consume our dragons in this war.

Also, the foreplay is almost over, prepare for a full-scale attack!" Drol grinned, as if he had seen his bright future of being promoted to Duke.

"Yes, General."

Under Dror's command, the huge steel beasts began to move, the roar filled the battlefield, and the ground trembled again.

The real siege began! (End of this chapter)
