Chapter 2180: Start of the War

In the depths of the ice sheets, the storm rolled over. Right in the middle of the storm was a large silhouette, advancing.

This large thing was a black area of the Army of the Dead, stretching out for kilometers. On top of that, there were more and more skeletons climbing up from beneath the ice to join the group.

The pairs of red eyes twinkled in the snow storm and their neat marching made them even eerier.

Beside the Cthulhu was a large skeleton dragon made up of countless skeletons, reaching the height of almost a kilometer.

On top of the skeleton dragon’s head stood Josh, with his hands behind him.

His eyes were as dark as ink and his thin lips were a blackish-purple, looking cold and devilish.

“Alex, I will tear you into a million pieces!” Josh’s voice echoed across the ice sheets.

“You can’t even suppress your obsession over a mere human?” Cthulhu mocked.

“That fellow kept ruining things for me. This is not just an obsession over him. This is my obsession of hatred,” Josh said with wrath, “If it wasn’t for him, I would have come out a long time ago and I wouldn’t have lost a part of my soul!”

“When we conquer this world again, everything will belong to us.”

“This day will come soon!”

The horrifying declarations echoed in the ice sheets, making the desolate place seem scarier.

Boundless Sea Realm, Lantisde.

“Your Majesty, all of our people have obeyed your command and have retreated far away from the infinity column. We have also built the defense spell formation,” a middle-aged merfolk said to the King respectfully as he looked at the infinity column.

“Good.” The King nodded. However, the crease between his eyebrows did not ease at all as he watched the infinity column shaking even more fervently.

The strange movements from the infinity column had been continuing for days. He had received a letter from Lord Alex a few days ago to arrange for the people to evacuate immediately.

Alex said that this strange movement was indeed related to the devil but they need not be too paranoid. Alex said he would solve this problem but they had to move away from the infinity column as far as they could.

As a King, for his people, there were many things he had to do.

If the problem was not solved like what Alex said, he must be the first one to know what could happen and take the appropriate measures to counter it.

The infinity column shook even more, as though something was about to run out uncontrollably.

On this day, northern lights danced in the skies above the ice sheets. The nights were as long as the days.

A sharp horn blast echoed throughout.

Following that, streaks of light rushed into the skies from Gus Mountains, causing a deafening roar as more horns blasted.

The soldiers from the allied forces that were sleeping by the fire and the artillery quickly woke up and went to their positions according to plan.

The cannon lids were opened and the artillerymen adjusted the angle to aim at the ice sheets, waiting for the launch signal.

The Dragons took to the skies, a few hundred in a group, hovering above the Gus Mountains, ready to attack.

This was the signal for the Army of the Dead being 30 kilometers away from the frontline. From the horizon, there were more and more balls of fire appearing as they shone ever so brightly.

“Second Captain, do you see the fires? Take aim and whack them hard!” Mag stood by one of the main cannons and ordered.

The knight gave Mag a thumbs up and motioned seriously toward the red lights.

“Alright, stop motioning. Just attack in that direction. Every time you launch, make sure to shift a little to the left and right before that and leave a gap time,” Mag said as he rolled his eyes.

“Yes, Sir!”

The artillerymen put the ammunition into the cannon and pressed the button for the launch.

Boom! Boom!

The two cannons that were tens of meters long let out a thunderous boom.

Two silver artillery shells, with a red tail trailing behind, cut across the skies, making their way to the ice sheets.

The soldiers of the allied forces along the frontlines stretching for a few kilometers, watched in shock.

Not long later, a series of explosions erupted from within the ice sheets. They were as loud as thunder, and the soldiers could feel the ground beneath them shake at Gus Mountains, a few kilometers away from the explosion.

“I wonder where the Chief Commander got such an amazing machine from. If we have a few more of these, we won’t even need to fret over the Army of the Dead.” Macron could not help but gasp as he watched.

As compared to the city lord’s castle’s cannon, this was way more powerful.

Although Alex was the one who provided the blueprint for the cannon, he did not expect himself to be able to create two such powerful cannons.

At that moment, on the ice sheets 16 kilometers away from Gus Mountains, after the main artillery exploded, the explosion covered a wide area, wiping out thousands of ancient corpses straight away.

However, the explosion did not seem to have affected the Army of the Dead’s morale. The empty spots were quickly filled up and the dark patch of the Army of the Dead continued advancing towards Gus Mountains fearlessly.

The cannons boomed and bombs landed from the skies from time to time, causing empty spots in the dense area of ancient corpses.

However, to the Army of the Dead which amounted to almost a million, this level of impact was nothing.

Of course, most importantly, the fearless ancient corpses were not afraid of death at all.

The blood-red eyes twinkled. Under Cthulhu’s control, the army kept their neat formation as they continued advancing.

“Giant dragons from groups 1 to 20, follow me. Douglas and Louis, you two will be in charge of fighting Rankster. Delay him. I will draw Cthulhu out. Giant dragons from the various tribes start the first round of attacks on the ancient corpses on the ground and in the skies. After that, quickly return as per our original plan!”

The purple-striped griffin took to the skies. With Mag’s orders, 2000 giant dragons, under Louis and Douglas’s leads, were split into 20 battle units as they soared towards the ice sheets.

Every group was led by a 10th-tier giant dragon. These 20 groups of giant dragons had been meticulously arranged. They were all at least of the 7th-tier and had enormous long-range attack abilities.

Of course, the most eye-catching ones were those carrying huge bags of explosives. They were the battle dragons and were also explosive dragons.

Mag led the team personally. Irina sat behind him. Both of their targets this time was to destroy the Army of the Dead’s Air Spirits.

The death rate for the informants that were sent to the ice sheets increased rapidly recently because of these ancient corpses flying above the ice sheets.

The defense line at Gus Mountains targeted mainly the Army of the Dead on the ground and had limited defense capabilities against the Air Spirits.

Therefore, after discussion with Dominic, Mag’s plan was to find the targets straight away and before the two armies start fighting, they had to destroy their enemy’s air forces so that they could take absolute control of the skies.

At this moment, there was a person each on the backs of Louis and Douglas.

“Hehe. I fought giant dragons when I was young and now that I’m old, I get to ride a giant dragon. How interesting.” Krassu was sitting on the back of the golden dragon with a magic caster’s staff in his hand.

“Krassu, don’t you get too proud. If it was not for Alex’s command, I would never let you ride on me!” Louis said angrily and with grievance. The source of this content ɪs ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt

“Heh, Alex was worried that you two can’t handle them so he got us to help.” Krassu pressed his lips together.

“Who says so! I wanted to show them what I’ve got!” Louis was indignant.

Compared to Louis and Krassu’s bickering, Douglas and Urien seemed to be in a more harmonious state.

“I heard that Rankster has entered an even higher state. I am curious what ice magic is like above the 10th-tier,” Douglas said.

“I’ve been looking for decades to no avail. It is indeed curious,” Urien said hoarsely. This was also why he agreed to join hands with Douglas.

It was very difficult for him to enter the ice sheets alone but with the help of Douglas, he could exchange blows directly with Rankster. This was an opportunity that was very hard to come by.

Sixteen kilometers was a short trip with the giant dragon’s speed.

A snow storm advanced from afar. The black patch of Army of the Dead on the ground stretched on. Even when they were flying high in the sky, they could not see an end to the army. This shocked the giant dragons.

On top of that, the ancient corpses that stood tens of meters tall were exuding a frighteningly strong aura, and were way bigger than they had expected.

“Cthulhu is right ahead. Let’s split ways. Return from the sides after you’re done with the attack. Do not stay!” Mag ordered.

The giant dragon groups split up and flew toward both sides.

Howl-

A sharp howl came from the center of the Army of the Dead. Suddenly, countless black flying ancient corpses appeared in the sky, attacking the giant dragons fervently.

The giant dragons were well-prepared. Under the leadership of the 10th-tier giant dragons and their coordination, ice and fireballs exploded in the sky. The various realms locked the ancient corpses in place and they were sniped down.

Very quickly, the giant dragon alliance team broke down the ancient corpses’ air attacks and exterminated all of them.

The sky was clear now and there were no traces of any flying ancient corpses.

After they settled the Air Spirits, the giant dragons swooped down and started getting ready for their attacks.

Icicles with lengths ranging from a few meters to tens of meters started forming in the sky. The Fire Dragons formed flames and fireballs in their mouths. The Wind Dragons were already in their tornado formation…

The Giant dragons all had their forte. They all brought out their best skills so that they could achieve the maximum impact in one blow.

At the same time, the ancient corpses on the ground stopped. Ice javelins appeared in their hands and they looked up into the sky.

The giant dragons advanced closer to the ground. 1000m, 800m, 500m…

The ancient corpses raised their arms and threw their ice javelins.

At the same time, the giant dragons all unleashed their skills.

The Fire Dragons spat out fireballs as hot as the sun. The fireballs increased in size visibly and when they landed among the Army of the Dead, they already achieved a diameter of tens of meters wide before exploding.

None of the ancient corpses in the 500m range survived.

Giant icicles rained down from the skies with a scary force, pinning the ancient corpses, within tens of meters, to the ground and crushing them.

Hundreds of tornados, together with a blazing storm, rushed into the area of the Army of the Dead, picking them up and slicing them into pieces like a blender.

Of course, the most awe-inspiring scene was when the 2000 bags of explosives were hurled into the group of ancient corpses, causing a huge explosion.

2000 high-tier giant dragons launched their attacks at the same time and together with the explosives, they caused a large empty plot in the Army of the Dead’s densely packed formation.

At least a few tens of thousands of low-tier ancient corpses were exterminated in this round of attacks.

However, the ancient corpses threw out their sharp ice javelins, tearing past the giant dragons’ defense at the same time.

Hundreds of giant dragons were shot and they fell to the ground. After that, they would be eaten by the ancient corpses that swarmed over.

The giant dragons took to the skies once again and quickly parted to both sides, leaving without even turning back.

Irina raised her magic caster’s staff and after a chant, a streak of Holy Light tore through the snow storm. When it reached, the Army of the Dead would vanish and the light finally landed on the skeleton dragon that stood a kilometer tall.

Josh, who was standing on the head of the skeleton dragon, opened his arms wide. A dark light rose from his palms and the skeleton dragon was covered with the Dark Light.

The Dark Light and Holy Light burnt each other off. In the end, the Dark Light diminished and one of the skeleton dragon’s wings was eroded by the Holy Light. After that, the Holy Light faded away as well.

On the other side, Mag looked at Cthulhu that was squirming over to them rapidly. He swung the Tian Du sword out and at the same time, got Ah Zi to retreat to create distance.

Just then, a silver silhouette flew up from the horizon, making its way toward the purple-striped griffin.

“Your opponent is here, Rankster!” A fireball exploded in front of the Frost Dragon. After that, it transformed into a fire phoenix and dashed toward the Frost Dragon.

The Frost Dragon paused for a while and dodged the exploding fireball. It swung its tail and hit the fire phoenix coming towards it away, wiping it out immediately.

“He is indeed way more powerful than he was. I wonder if it was the power he got because he was demonized.” Krassu shook his magic caster’s staff excitedly as he stood on Louis’s back.

“Take it easy. Don’t fall off. Otherwise, you’ll be eaten alive,” Louis reminded.

On the other side, Douglas and Urien appeared behind Rankster as they closed in on him.

Four of Norland Continent’s top 10th-tier powerhouses had joined hands to deal with Rankster. This showed how much they valued him.

“Rankster! You are the King of Frost, how could you allow yourself to be controlled by the Devil! Wake up quickly!” Douglas shouted at Rankster.

The blood-red light in Rankster’s eyes flickered for a while as he struggled internally.

At that moment, a sharp, ear-piercing sound came from within Cthulhu. Rankster’s eyes became bright red once again and he turned back, making his way towards Douglas.

“He is completely under control. Don’t hold back and give it your all!” Urien said. He raised his magic wand and a string of frost circles appeared immediately in front of Rankster.

As the Frost Dragon dashed through, the frost circles tightened, decreasing his speed significantly.

After passing through 10 frost circles, there was already a thick layer of ice and frost on the Frost Dragon’s body, decreasing his speed by half.

“Here’s the chance!” Krassu’s eyes lit up. He pushed off from Louis’s head and two fireballs appeared at the same time beneath his feet. He swooped over to Rankster and already had his magic caster’s staff raised high above his head. A ball of light was forming at the tip of his staff.

“This old foley is so rude!” Louis glared but he did not slow down at all as a golden glow started forming in the sky.

“Extreme frost!” Douglas shouted at the same time. Within a kilometer, the cold air solidified and fog formed everywhere.
