Chapter 470: 458 Reinforcements Arrive_1
The attack of the Dawn Garden was easily defused by Dudley, and witnessing this process, everyone on the battlefield was dumbfounded.
“That is, the legendary Guardian, sir!”
“Felkorde Empire will win!”
…
As people recognized Dudley’s identity, such words echoed everywhere, and the morale of the Western Empire soared instantly.
At this moment, Gaz in the Lord’s castle at the center of Black Rye City stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
From beginning to end, Dudley’s performance was under his attention, but even he could not make out what the opponent had done in that instant.
It proved that the opponent’s strength must be unfathomable, at least far stronger than himself.
Facing such a terrifying opponent, could he really fulfil the expectations of the great Silver Dragon Lord?
Likewise, Elise, who was in the Dawn Garden, also shared this sentiment. After such an event, she could no longer remain seated on her throne.
She paced around irritably and immediately urged the Dawn Garden to continue launching attacks.
Since the Dawn Garden had been rooted in Dawn Forest for thousands of years, its accumulated magic power had long overflowed.
Not long after, the second huge Thunderball was fully formed.
This time, its target was Dudley, who was standing in the air, brimming with confidence.
Just by looking at the momentum and size of this Thunderball, it seemed much more ferocious than the previous attack.
Unfortunately, the outcome didn’t change.
Gaz’s gaze still remained fixed on Dudley and even so, Dudley effortlessly changed his stance and a dense storm of blades sliced the Thunderball to pieces once again.
Everything seemed to have not changed and even worsened from before.
After slicing the Thunderball, many sharp blades remained which charged towards the Dawn Garden at lightning speed.
However, the Dawn Garden naturally had defensive measures in place. As soon as it detected an incoming attack, a magic shield similar to Stania’s was erected around the Dawn Garden.
Originally, Stania was a product built on the technological foundation of the Dawn Garden.
Although the Dawn Garden’s shield wasn’t much inferior to Stania’s, Dudley seemed far superior.
While most of the blades were intercepted by the shield, some penetrated the magic shield and subsequently struck the bottom of the Dawn Garden Floating City.
Initially, Elise was worried, but fortunately, the dense tangle of plants below provided a secondary protection.
In the end, Dawn Garden only lost some of its plant branches and didn’t damage the hidden magic circle deep within.
After realizing this, Elise finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, those plant branches weren’t valuable.
Given enough time, they could regrow. If time was of the essence, they could also use growth acceleration spells.
At the same time, Elise also focused her eyes on Dudley.
He was indeed powerful, but the Dawn Garden might not necessarily lose to him.
With this mindset, the elves in the Dawn Garden got busy again. Besides the enormous Thunderball, various other attacks were also launched at Dudley.
Just as Elise had thought, the Dawn Garden was not much weaker than Dudley. They were evenly matched in an instant.
While Dudley and the Dawn Garden were caught in a stalemate, it seemed that the outcome of the battle below was about to be determined.
Compared to the Western Empire, Gaz’s forces were far smaller.
At this time, Gaz was leading Mega Fatty and other core elites, outnumbered one to five, defending the rooms of the castle.
If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before they were wiped out.
However, at this moment, special noises came from outside Black Rye City, seemingly from the direction of Mel City.
Amidst the continuous horn calls, a large number of Western Empire soldiers began to change direction in anticipation, as a massive horde of Barbarians appeared on the distant horizon.
These Barbarians were also sprinting towards Black Rye City at breakneck speed.
Although they had no semblance of order and ran haphazardly, their charge was still an awe-inspiring sight.
Following them closely were the well-armored Black Iron Dwarves.
The knights riding War Sheep, along with the War Sheep-drawn chariots, swiftly overtook the Barbarian’s formation and charged towards the Western Empire soldiers first.
The Barbarians and Black Iron Dwarves advanced at the fastest speed, and they couldn’t possibly be the only forces in this long-distance reinforcement.
Minotaur, Lizardmen, and even Serpentmen, as well as various monstrous races, emerged from behind. They belonged to the Soaring Dragon Legion and came from the monstrous army of Nolan Forest.
Behind these monstrous armies, there were also some humans wearing different styles of clothing. They were from Farrand or Felton, which were the conquered human nations.
The reason they were here was simple: for glory and riches.
Since ancient times, being a soldier was a staple profession. As long as the stake was high enough, most soldiers didn’t mind who they served, especially when their wives and children were under Otto’s control.
With such a huge force suddenly joining the battlefield, the situation began to turn around.
Just in terms of numbers, the gap between the two sides was almost negligible.
Although individually, the Western Empire soldiers were slightly inferior, the forces that had arrived were mostly exhausted from their long journey and could not exert their full combat prowess.
So at the moment, both sides were evenly matched.
However, Gaz’s possibility of dying while fighting tooth and nail was now diminished.
In this situation, the battlefield of Black Rye City turned into a terrifying meat grinder.
Countless lives and flesh withered away, whether human or monstrous.
Waiting for sunset and sunrise, day and night passed, and the battle continued without any short-term outcome.
But the fight between Dudley and the Dawn Garden in the sky seemed to be nearing its end.
Dudley, who was previously unmatched and had an impressive demeanor, was now covered in wounds, making him appear extremely miserable.
However, these wounds were only superficial.
On the other hand, the Dawn Garden had suffered much worse.
