"giants, halt your steps, or you will be considered enemies of the True Dragon," Carlit, perched atop the city, her wings spread wide, and her sharp claws radiating power, warned the giantswho were trampling through the swirling dust.
Ellie also landed beside the Blue Dragon, standing shoulder to shoulder with Carlit, baring her fangs and spreading her wings and claws.
"This is a kingdom ruled by True Dragons, the territory of the Golden Empire. Daring to charge in is to be an enemy of the Empire."
Carlit's warning did not make the giants stop. One-Eyed Giant Axis's ugly face showed excitement, and his single eye surged with violent, bloodthirsty colors.
The heavy bone hammer was dragged on the ground by this tall giant, sparks flying as it collided with rocks. After seeing the two True Dragon, One-Eyed Giant Axis became directly agitated.
"It's True Dragons, two small True Dragons, two arrogant and overestimating small True Dragons, who actually dare to block the giants. Hahaha, charge straight through, first capture those Storm Giant, then directly break through this dilapidated small city."
Axis incited the surrounding giants: "Break this dilapidated city, capture those two True Dragon, we can play with them well. I haven't tasted True Dragon yet!"
"Break this city, burn, kill, loot, and eat those little people as dessert," the One-Eyed Giant dragged his great bone hammer and pointed towards the distant city.
"Break this city, burn, kill, loot, and eat those little people as dessert," the restless ancient Ogres were the first to respond to the One-Eyed Giant Lord's shouts.
These Ogres looked much uglier than the Ogres within the Golden Empire, as if their evolution had stopped over the long years, still retaining thick body hair and the rough, hard features of giants.
Their skin looked like thick plate-like dermis, and their yellowed, blackened teeth protruded like their eyes, murky and bloodthirsty.
"Capture those two True Dragons!" the Mountain Giant beside the One-Eyed Giant roared. "I want that Green Dragon, she's mine."
The giants also began to shout, striding directly towards the distant city, completely disregarding the True Dragon Carlit's warning.
One-Eyed Giant Lord Axis heard the Mountain Giant's words, and a hint of dissatisfaction appeared in his single eye. But before his rusty brain could figure out whether he should fight the Mountain Giant first or what to do, a buzzing vibration suddenly came from the air.
As these giants advanced, they had already stepped into the range of Bay Stream City's giant crossbows and cannons, and immediately received a barrage of firepower.
The roar of heavy cannons and the violent whistling caused by giant crossbows piercing the air sounded simultaneously. These giants and giants, trapped in the Godforsaken Mountains for countless years, had not yet had time to figure out what was happening when they saw the attack launched by those tiny creatures had already arrived before them.
Boom!
Heavy cannons directly landed among the Ogres. An explosion erupted, instantly blowing apart three ancient Ogres at the center of the shell's impact point. Their flesh and blood bodies, which usually appeared exceptionally powerful against other beasts and monsters, seemed extremely fragile before the Empire's heavy industrial artillery.
Limb remains and blood mist continuously increased with the heavy cannon shell impacts, momentarily stunning this group of ancient Ogres, who were the smallest in stature but agile enough to charge the fastest. They involuntarily slowed their steps and began to dodge the cannon fire's impact points.
There were also the Trolls, driven by the giants. These Trolls were quite tall, almost all over two and a half meters, and compared to ordinary humanoid races, these Trolls, by body type, also belonged to the giants.
The weapons in the hands of these Trolls were large clubs, all made of thigh bones, wooden sticks, and stone sticks. Only a very small number of spellcasters born among the Trolls, holding their large clubs high and drawing on shaman-like magical power, could defend against the cannon bombardment.
Some Trolls fearlessly swung their large clubs, like hitting a ball, trying to smash the falling cannon shells, but the results were quite tragic. Flying severed limbs and broken bodies were the fate of these brave Trolls.
The attacks from these heavy cannons could not cause significant damage to the giants. Even the explosive impact, which was the primary means of damage, seemed useless in front of the giants.
Some giants were even so special that they didn't seem to have fragile internal organs. Their core was also firmly encased, fearless of cannon impacts.
But the eight-ox giant crossbows and True Dragon hunting crossbows, enchanted with armor-piercing magic, had huge crossbow bolts that were enough to directly pierce the giants' defenses. Even Stone Giant, whose entire body was covered in stone, would be directly penetrated by these crossbow bolts, creating a deep hole that embedded itself into the giant's body.
Clang!
One-Eyed Giant Axis swung the bone hammer in his hand, knocking away the huge crossbow bolt that was hurtling towards him. The crossbow bolt and the bone hammer collided, emitting a crisp sound of steel. This immense force actually made One-Eyed Giant Axis feel a strong vibration in his hand.
The Mountain Giant beside him roared loudly, swinging a huge refined steel pillar to swat away two crossbow bolts. But the crossbow bolts, as thick as an adult's arm, had sharp, crescent-shaped hooks at their tips.
Upon impact, they directly cut off a small piece of the hard refined steel pillar, then were deflected by the shifted force, obliquely embedding themselves into the arm of a Wood Giant.
There were also several Stone Giant, who were a bit slower in their movements and couldn't block all the crossbow bolts. They were impaled by the crossbow bolts, and their sturdy rock bodies were cracked with tiny, spiderweb-like fissures.
Two other Stone Giant were directly impaled in the head by huge crossbow bolts, their massive heads being shaved off by more than half.
These giants, struck by the attacks, were filled with rage. The giants were most adept at taking stones and other sturdy objects from the ground and using them as projectiles to strike down enemies in the air, such as True Dragon, or to attack distant enemies.
Under the powerful strength of the giants, even the most ordinary stones were enough to produce powerful destructive force.
One by one, the giants picked up stones from the ground, wanting to counterattack. The Mountain Giant even lifted the refined steel pillar in his left hand, and with his right hand, single-handedly picked up a several-ton stone, and began to charge forward.
Muscles bulged on his huge arm as he lifted the stone to his shoulder, behind his ear, then roared loudly, throwing the several-ton stone with immense force.
Whoosh!
A several-ton stone didn't look huge, but the force it carried was more terrifying than a siege ram. Thrown by the Mountain Giant, it was comparable to a heavy stone cannon bombardment. If it directly hit the city wall, even if it couldn't collapse the wall, the soldiers on the city wall would suffer some damage.
The thunderous crackle and the roar of the magic-powered cannon fired simultaneously. At this moment, a brilliant light exploded before the giants' eyes.
A battle-axe, suffused with azure lightning, directly struck the massive stone thrown by the Mountain Giant in mid-air. The battle-axe was shattered by the stone in the first instant, but the lightning that erupted afterwards also shattered the huge stone, sending countless fragments flying.
Then, a colossal magic energy cannon beam passed through the dust and powder of their collision, shooting unhindered into the distance, directly piercing a terrifying wound through the sturdy right arm of the Mountain Giant, who was excitedly pounding his chest.
"Roar!"
The towering Mountain Giant let out an angry roar of pain. The wound in his thick arm had formed a hole, clear through from front to back. The intense magic energy instantly vaporized the flesh and blood at his wound, and even the surrounding muscles melted into a crystalline form.
The sudden attack caused these aggressive giants to hesitate slightly, stopping their steps along with Single-Eyed Giant Axis.
Carlit, standing on the city wall, looked towards Storm Giant Garcia, who had turned his gaze towards her, and nodded slightly in acknowledgment. At this moment, the Storm Giant and Bay Stream City had initially formed a unified front.
"This is just a warning,"
Carlit turned, standing tall on the city wall, able to look down upon the giants not far away.
"If you do not wish to go to war with the Empire, then retreat, giants. The dignity of the Empire is not to be offended. The next time, it will be the beginning of a war between the giants and the Empire. I think you had best consider this action."
"I've never heard of any Empire, or any True Dragons Country," One-Eyed Giant Axis snarled with a grin. "We can retreat, but you must return those Storm Giant and the things in their hands to me."
"Those are Morgues's destined possessions. If you become our enemies, the giants, for the sake of these Storm Giant, the price will be unbearable for you."
One-Eyed Giant Axis tapped his palm with his huge bone hammer, his tone full of disdain, mocking, "Besides, do you two little True Dragon, and some tools of negligible power, really think you can stop my Axis's steps?"
"If all the True Dragon are like you, I don't mind killing all of you, then hanging you on my stick, roasting you over a big fire, and tasting you crawling worms."
Ellie sneered, about to speak, when a fatal threat suddenly came from the sky above the two female True Dragon, causing the scales on both female True Dragon's backs to tighten instantly as they looked up.
The clouds in the sky seemed to be instantly dyed black by a magical force. The rolling stench had solidified, rapidly spreading under the impetus of some existence, enveloping the two female True Dragon.
And the occasional glimpse of claws, teeth, and wings from the figures swimming and soaring in the clouds revealed the identity of this existence.
"True Dragon!"
The two female True Dragon exclaimed in unison, wanting to fly back and retreat.
In this fleeting glimpse, the two female Dragons had already discovered the terrifying figure hidden in the clouds.
It was a multi-headed Dragons, an ugly, multi-headed winged monster that combined the worst features of a Dragons and a multi-headed lizard.
Mud-like brown scales, yellow wings, and a creamy belly, three heads and three main tails, as well as six secondary tails growing from the main tails, and three pairs of dark red eyes, like dried blood, revealing terrifying hatred and killing intent.
The multi-headed Dragons in the sky did not stop the actions of the two female Dragons, but simply stared at them with fierce eyes, revealing a Dragons-like sneer.
"Forever Punished Domain, Magic Prison!"
A cold voice echoed in the ears of the two female Dragons. Their retreating bodies were confined and locked by an invisible yet tangible force, and the magical shackles separated the space of the two female Dragons, making them unable to perceive each other.
The dark clouds in the sky also rapidly descended at this moment, transforming the invisible domain into a tangible prison.
A more terrifying Dragons emerged from the clouds. The naturally cold and expressionless face of the Dragons showed a chilling expression, like a snarling sneer.
Its skeletal frame, with withered flesh clinging tightly to its skin and scales, resembled the body of a black Dragons. Its wings, which looked like tattered rags, still allowed this terrifying Dragonsto fly with incredible agility through the air.
Its dark eyes shimmered with an eerie green light, and the black, gray, and olive-green scales on its body formed twisted, striped patterns. The moment it emerged from the clouds, it actually caused Carlit's mind to waver, as if it were some kind of mind-affecting spell.
Carlit, in this momentary distraction, had already lost the initiative.
The terrifying Dragons extended its head from the clouds, its grotesque, sneering maw full of fangs opening wide, and a terrifying disintegration field, like a straight beam of light, shot directly downwards with immense power.
The intense threat made Carlit at this moment, without regard for the cost, squeeze the Evil Dragon true blood in her body, powerful energy surging furiously from her main blood vessels, causing the Blue Dragon's blood vessels to burst.
A brilliant lightning breath was exhaled by Carlit, the dazzling electric light illuminating the dark gray Forever Punished Domain, colliding with the terrifying disintegration field breath.
But Carlit's lightning breath did not achieve the expected effect. The lightning breath seemed to not unleash any power before it was split in half by the incoming disintegration field breath.
The scorching lightning was broken through by the disintegration field breath as if it were tofu. Then, the power of the disintegration field directly shattered Carlit's Dragons scales, piercing a deep hole directly through the right front claw of Carlit, which was guarding her vital chest and abdomen, and dragon blood gushed out.
But Carlit could not even let out a roar of pain. The attack of the multi-headed Dragons in the sky also descended at this moment.
Three slender necks extended from the black clouds, their blood-red eyes filled with cruelty and rage. Three grotesque and ugly heads attacked simultaneously at this moment. The Dragons's bite, beneath those sharp and thick fangs, appeared incredibly fatal.
Carlit only had time to block her wings in front of her slender neck, and the next moment, intense pain struck.
The multi-headed Dragons's three heads opened their sharp mouths, bit Carlit's wings, and violently swung them from side to side, actually tearing Carlit's wings directly from her body.
"Roar!"
Carlit's dragon blood was already raging, and surging lightning boiled within her body. She could not fight against the two Dragons within this confined space. Now, the only way to survive was to break the seal of this domain.
So she roared, releasing all her magic power at this moment. A sphere of condensed lightning was exhaled from her mouth, dazzling electric light flashing, slowly colliding with the Dragons that was tearing at her.
The Dragons, whose expression seemed to be constantly sneering, still chose to retreat. Even though he was much more powerful than Carlit, he did not want to directly confront the Blue Dragon's full-power strike.
The lightning sphere crashed directly into the boundary of the tangible prison. A violent roar, like dozens of heavy cannons exploding simultaneously, and dazzling electric currents instantly erupted with brilliant electric light. The surging power caused the Forever Punished Domain to shake violently, and even Carlit was pushed back several steps by the aftershocks of the power.
But the shaking Forever Punished Domain eventually subsided and returned to normal.
"Blue-scaled Dragons, calmly embrace your death."
The terrifying Dragons climbed down from mid-air, from the top of the domain. Its sneering expression at this moment, however, prevented Carlit from feeling anger. A sense of despair spread through Carlit's heart at this moment.
"Although killing you is not my original intention, hunting a Dragons can still bring me some insignificant satisfaction."
Crack, crack!
As soon as the terrifying Dragons finished speaking, the entire dim domain's edge, as if forcibly broken by some power, rippling waves began to shatter, revealing the outside world.
"What arrogant words! You, as a Dragon, associate with giants and become their running dog. Truly a disgrace to Dragons!" The Blue Dragon Akzi and the White Dragons Germott spread their claws and teeth in mid-air, standing proudly suspended.
