Chapter 657 Attack
Chapter 657 Attack
After Anno dealt with the water-type mutant dragon scorpion, he immediately began fighting on the battlefield with his summoned creatures.
Although there are only twenty or thirty high-level dragon scorpions on the battlefield, there are a great many mid-level dragon scorpions.
As the war progressed, Anno collected at least tens of thousands of mid-level dragon scorpions' souls.
However, given Anno's current strength, he is unlikely to use these soul summons to summon mid-level creatures.
However, it can still be used to upgrade the rank of various intermediate skills.
On the battlefield, high-level dragon scorpions were turned into corpses under the fierce attack of Anno's summoned creatures.
Seeing this, the dwarf soldiers' morale soared.
"Warriors, charge with Guild Master Anno!"
A seventh-tier dwarf general, who replaced Kasma in commanding the troops, saw the situation gradually becoming clear and immediately led his soldiers in a charge, completely disregarding the hideous wounds on his body.
"Kill them!"
The dwarf soldiers began their advance.
Meanwhile, Anno rested with his summoned creatures.
Anno will only send out a Tier 7 summon to provide support when a troublesome mid-tier dragon scorpion appears in a certain area.
Although the number of dragon scorpion casualties is very high, there are still tens of thousands left.
Unless Anno summons all his summoned creatures to join the battle, he simply cannot kill so many dragon scorpions with his current few dozen high-level summoned creatures.
After Anno killed all the high-ranking dragon scorpions, the main force advancing on the battlefield still had to rely on dwarf soldiers.
For high-ranking individuals like Anno, this is a time to rest and prepare for any unforeseen circumstances.
"President Anno, thank you for your help!"
It wasn't until the victory was practically secured and the dwarven soldiers stormed the city walls that Kasma, having recovered somewhat, found Anno to thank him.
Anno looked at Kasma, whose face was somewhat pale, and asked, "How are you feeling right now?"
"It won't affect the operation!"
Kasma waved his arm as he spoke, then added with a wry smile, "But I guess I won't be able to participate in the next battle."
Anno nodded, indicating that he understood.
Given the extent of Kasma's injuries at the time, it was already a stroke of luck that he survived.
If he went to the battlefield looking like this, he could easily lose his life if he encountered even a seventh-tier dragon scorpion.
"Judging from the situation, we should have achieved a phased victory."
Anno looked at Kasma and asked, "What are the troops planning to do next? Continue deeper?"
Kasma shook his head and said, "We will take over the city walls and build fortifications."
Inside the city, our siege weapons are essentially useless. We still need to be cautious when facing the Dragon Scorpion.
We need to move the cannons to the city walls to assist the infantry in combat.
"Only after all four teams are ready will we continue our encirclement and suppression of the Dragon Scorpion."
"It's good to be cautious. The number of dragon scorpions in the city should be no less than before, and their strength may be even greater."
Anno didn't believe that the entire dragon scorpion clan only had a few eighth-tier variant dragon scorpions.
Perhaps, for the dragon scorpions, the battle just now was merely a test of the dwarf army.
The ensuing street fighting was an even more brutal battle.
"Quickly, quickly, the third turret has been repaired. Bring the magic cannon up."
"This cannon is almost out of power. Bring another box of magic crystals over."
"Lookout, search the city for any traces of the dragon scorpions and find their locations."
As Anno entered the city, he could hear the busy figures of the dwarf soldiers.
Everyone is very careful and meticulous in their work.
After all, everything they did could potentially save their lives once the battle began.
"Report, Lord Kasma. Lord Orn's forces have successfully breached the southern city. They are currently constructing fortifications."
"Reporting, Lord Kasma. Lord Zizir's troops have already entered the northern city; now only Prince Chiron in the west remains to be seen!"
"Your Highness Chiron!"
Kasma waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about Prince Chiron. It won't be long before His Highness leads his troops into the city."
Hearing Kasma's confident answer, Anno couldn't help but glance at Kasma.
"President Anno, you may not know this."
Kasma explained, "His Highness Chiron is the eldest prince of our dwarven kingdom, a powerful eighth-tier dwarven swordsman."
"Eighth-tier? We don't know the situation in the west, but based on the current intelligence analysis, there are definitely eighth-tier dragon scorpions and at least twenty seventh-tier dragon scorpions in the west."
Can His Highness Chiron's forces handle such a force?
Anno had some doubts.
If it were just Chiron, an eighth-tier hero, Kasma wouldn't be so confident.
After all, an eighth-tier mutated dragon scorpion is no pushover.
"Don't worry, His Highness Chiron has an extremely powerful warrior by his side!"
Kasma seemed to trust the powerful warrior he spoke of.
Kasma looked on with admiration when this person was mentioned.
"Lord Kasma, I don't think the dragon scorpion will attack anytime soon. I'll go check on my men with Lord Orn first."
Don't worry, if anything happens, I'll get here to help as quickly as possible.
After Kasma was injured, his troops no longer had any strong enough to directly confront an eighth-tier dragon scorpion.
If we were to use the magic crystal cannon to deal with an eighth-tier powerhouse, we would need to sacrifice countless dwarf soldiers to hold them off.
Therefore, Anno's combat power is indispensable to Kasma.
Anno plans to place a mid-tier summon at regular intervals along the way to Orn.
If the dragon scorpion makes any unusual moves, Anno will immediately use [Teleport] to rush back.
At the same time, Anno also left Pope's shadow here.
There shouldn't be any major problems in the short term.
When Kasma learned that the giant turtle left behind by Anno was an eighth-tier sea creature, a smile instantly spread across his face.
"President Anno, you can go now. They've been fighting for hours; they shouldn't be fighting anytime soon!"
"Okay, be careful!"
After Anno finished speaking, he left with his summoned creature.
"Master, can you see the ice shield?"
Above Adelaide, Pope's true form (because his shadow remained with Kasma, his true form couldn't be recalled, otherwise the shadow would disappear) looked at the massive ice dome in the city center, frowning as he asked, "Are the God Hunter and the Dragon Scorpion God fighting inside?"
"It should be!"
When Anno entered the city, he noticed the huge ice sheet a few kilometers away.
Amidst the ruins of the dilapidated city, the [Ice Gate] stood out prominently in Anno's eyes, who possessed [Far Vision].
"What exactly happened over there?"
Anno frowned.
As a barrier, the [Ice Gate] is completely impenetrable to Anno's [X-ray vision].
However, the battle fluctuations of the ninth-tier dragon scorpion were no longer present within the city.
Anno guessed that the two ninth-tier dragon scorpions were killed by the dwarven god hunters during his battle.
This is good news.
"Master, there aren't many dragon scorpions down there. Are they all hiding in the city center?"
Adelaide flew all the way and only found a few wounded dragon scorpions still scurrying around among the ruins.
They must have escaped from the battlefield just now.
But apart from that, there were basically no other traces of dragon scorpions.
"Are they preparing to launch a counterattack?"
Anno's gaze turned toward the center of Sagunto.
Suddenly, he felt Adelaide's body sway beneath his feet, and a beam of light grazed Anno's side as it shot straight into the sky.
Then, Adelaide, whose left side had been pierced by the beam of light, fell from the sky with Anno and the others.
