Chapter 2182: The Spells Were as Dazzling as Fireworks Translations
Xi’s eyes sparkled as well.
Alex’s arrangement was beyond her expectations as well.
Initially, her plan was to provide ammunition support to the allied forces together with the two main cannons and to kill as many from the Army of the Dead as possible.
However, Alex displayed to her an amazing war strategy.
Particularly using giant dragons to drop explosives. That was already the basic form of a bomber.
“Is this fellow just a genius? Or is he not from this place to begin with?” Xi thought to herself as her curiosity for Mag grew.
The Army of the Dead quickly gathered and continued advancing towards Gus Mountains.
“Alex, you sly fellow. When I catch you, I will let you know what suffering feels like!” Josh’s face was distorted with rage but he was not at all worried about the soldiers that had died in the Army of the Dead.
No one knew the situation of the races in the Norland Continent better than him. In a short span of a few days, it was impossible to build an effective defense. The various races might not have even finished fighting with each other.
He just did not expect the giant dragons to willingly be Alex’s pawns. That was beyond his expectations.
But, it stopped right there.
Those cannons were mediocre in terms of power. They could only kill some ancient corpse pawns and did not come from the Elder Things.
Those cowardly fellows were probably hiding underground right now.
When they regained control over the Norland Continent, R’lyeh City would build a tunnel connecting to the Underground City. Then, they would give the Elder Things a bloodbath in revenge.
The Army of the Dead were merely tools. His heart would not ache for those that were sacrificed.
If he could kill more of the living, he would be able to get more blood and vengeance. That way, he could become even stronger!
There was no point in the tiers for him. As long as there were sufficient sacrifices, there would be no limit to his growth, until he gained a body that could not be killed just like Cthulhu.
Before coming to the Norland Continent, Cthulhu had already eaten up the resources of 10 living planets. That was how he could gain this invincible body.
These stupid inhabitants would never know what they were facing.
Cthulhu let out a deep growl. A red glow enveloped the bodies of the skeleton troops. They gained speed and continued dashing forward.
He could feel that up ahead, the area was full of life. That was very enticing.
After being trapped for decades, he was already thirsty.
Far ahead, a mountain range appeared in their line of sight.
At the same time, the allied forces’ soldiers in Gus Mountains could see the dark patch of the Army of the Dead from the horizon of the ice sheets a few kilometers away.
The cannons fired once again.
The cannons were launched at the areas where the skeleton troops were dense.
This time, the cannons could aim better and they could also shoot faster.
The magic casters had already ended their long advanced magic chant. Magic lit up the sky just like a fantasy story…
The large meteorites, with trailing red tails, rained down from the sky. The ground caved in and the rock trolls broke out of the ice as they made their way into the skeleton crowd. Bolts of lightning flashed, reducing the higher-tier skeletons into ashes…
The coordination of cannons and magic was way more powerful than the mid to long-range explosions.
The archers held their bows and arrows tightly with the peach wood arrows already loaded as they watched excitedly.
It was difficult to imagine that a war can be fought like this!
No one had seen tens of thousands of magic casters from various races cast their spells at the same time. It was a chaotic mix of magical realms and it felt as though an explosion would happen at any time.
Josh had never seen it before.
At least this had not been seen for tens of thousands of years.
Therefore, when he saw the bits of magic glow from the mountain range land beside him and turn into horrifying spells, his expression finally changed!
Up on the mountain range stretching hundreds of kilometers, were people!
They came from the various races but they were all intermingled, launching the cannons that were spitting with fire and casting different kinds of spells.
The Army of the Dead was just like a live target on the empty ice sheets. Their advancement slowed down visibly.
How is it possible! They’ve joined forces!” Josh shrieked.
One had to know that back then, under the Elder Things’ lead, the races on the Norland Continent took a good three years to form an allied force and that was only when they were almost all forced out of their lands, and pushed to desperation.
If they were given more time, the Elder Things would even cease to exist and the Norland Continent would have been a prey that they would share and enjoy.
The Norland Continent right now has become weaker. The so-called powerhouses of each race were incompetent. Therefore, he did not choose to awaken the other Conquerors and intended to take over the entire continent for himself. After he had sucked up all the resources on this continent, he would then eat up the other Conquerors…
Everything was part of his plan but he did not expect the allied forces to already be waiting there when they had not even left the ice sheets.
“This is your so-called plan?” Cthulhu growled angrily at Josh.
“Shut up! I am your brain! Do you think you can come up with a better plan?!” Josh shrieked coldly.
“It doesn’t matter. Schemes are games that are played by the weak. To us, all we need is absolute power to conquer all.” Josh smiled coldly. “The more there are dead, the stronger we will become. It doesn’t matter who dies!”
Cthulhu flapped its wings. The fallen ancient corpses all became wisps of black smoke and entered Cthulhu’s body.
“The stronger ants taste the best. I am already getting excited…” Cthulhu’s body shook slightly as he let out a sharp shriek.
The Army of the Dead advanced toward Gus Mountains fearlessly.
The spells exploded among the ancient corpses. Some of them died but that did not affect the Army of the Dead from advancing.
The pairs of blood-red eyes shook in the ice sheets, making the ancient corpses look even more terrifying.
The distance between both parties drew closer.
2000 meters.
1500 meters.
1000 meters…
The spells were as dazzling as fireworks. The catapults were loaded with giant explosives. Strong men carried explosives and started throwing them at the frontline.
“Archers, get ready!”
“Shoot!”
On the battlefront were more than 30,000 Roth Empire soldiers, each with a repeater crossbow. In a short span of time, they finished shooting the 10 shots of peach wood arrows within the quiver.
Three million arrows formed a black patch of arrow rain. There was red cinnabar applied on the tips of the peach wood arrows. The arrows flew towards the Army of the Dead.
The seemingly weak peach wood arrows landed on the ancient corpses.
The strong bones were immediately pierced through.
The cinnabar started burning, and so was the peach wood arrow.
After that… the Army of the Dead was set ablaze!
Three million arrows reduced the Army of the Dead into a patch of emptiness.
Tens of thousands of ancient corpses were reduced to ashes with nothing left.
Only the ancient corpses that were 7th-tier and above managed to brave through the arrows but there were only a few of them.
The archers from the various races started shooting arrows as well as they targeted the ancient corpses that reached the shooting range. They were not at all stingy with the peach wood arrows in their quiver.
The ancient corpses all fell. The miraculous combination of peach wood and cinnabar became the lethal weakness of the difficult-to-deal-with ancient corpses.
