Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 691 - 079: Siege

The events happening inside the city have nothing to do with the Dragon Nest Legion outside.

No matter how capable the Blue Dragon Kingdom's intelligence agents are, they've only been laying the groundwork for a little over a year, and it's impossible to get close to more core things.

However, it doesn't matter much.

Because the entire Frandy Duchy's Royal City has already become a possession of the Dragon Nest Legion.

At this moment,

Outside the city.

A massive amount of supplies are being transported by endless convoys of Steel Giant Beast vehicles from the rear, constructing several bizarre structures outside the city that resemble entangled iron towers, with faint rune networks flashing, called "Iron Towers."

Four immense steel iron towers, towering over a hundred meters, stand like giants pointing skyward outside the city, located at the rear of the military camp.

Underneath the iron towers, Steel Giant Beasts are lined up like ants.

Vast quantities of materials are being delivered, with beastmen, like ants, building these materials onto the iron tower frameworks, constantly refining their fierce and terrifying appearance.

At the top of the iron towers is a cylindrical structure formed by intersecting steel magic patterns,

At the core of the cylinder,

A translucent, mysterious vigilance converges like a blooming flower bud, even if not yet activated, the center still sparkles with a faint magical glow, evoking a heart-palpitating sensation.

"Almost completed construction, it seems the siege is about to begin."

On the vast construction site, Major General Jon, responsible for coordinating the building of these grand structures, lifts his head, gazing at the monumental structures, feeling like an ant in front of these magnificent "iron towers," he can't help but express his sentiments.

Such colossal structures, with steel intertwining like veins, magic lines flickering, if placed in Austin's previous life, even the most advanced production tools might not be able to construct them within a few months.

However, this world possesses Extraordinary Abilities.

Powerful beastmen bearing tens of tons of weight isn't unimaginable.

Thus, once procedures are determined, the issues are roughly halfway solved.

"Indeed, because over these seven days, if it weren't for testing the power of these giants, the Frandy Royal City up ahead would have been conquered long ago."

A voice of the same sentiment emerges nearby, a figure walks up from behind, also gazing at the grand structures behind the camp.

It's Major General Tom, Jon's friend, assisting in transporting vast supplies to the front lines.

This is indeed the case,

Since the Dragon Nest Legion advanced from the Border Great Wall, it has swept across, unstoppable, which city could resist their attack?

A mere ten-minute bombardment easily shatters the enemy's resistance.

In over half a month, they've swept through most of the southern regions of the Frandy Duchy, pushing all the way to the Royal City.

The other advancing army routes, though varying in speed, generally follow suit.

Remaining before the Royal City for seven days,

Truly the first sight since dispatching troops.

"That's unavoidable; after all, it's a kingdom's royal city; it's not easy to siege. Previously, a round of alchemy cannon was tested but got blocked in mid-air by a magic shield; well-preparation before attacking isn't wrong."

Even though the Imperial Guard defending the Royal City has decayed over the years,

A city's defenses are not solely composed of soldiers; in this world where the Extraordinary is evident, various magic arrays exist, not to mention the Royal City boasting not only a numerical superiority of the Imperial Guard but also the elite Knight Legion, Mage Legion, and more.

The Royal City's defense system was crafted as a massive war fortress from the nation's founding.

Numerous robust magic arrays are arranged on the lofty city walls,

Various enchanted heavy crossbows, attack and defense form magic arrays, even some forbidden curse-level arrays have power not inferior to the Dragon Nest Legion's alchemy cannon; these formidable tactics present significant challenges to the Dragon Nest Legion.

Perhaps disregarding all costs, the Dragon Nest Legion can indeed breach the Royal City and annihilate the Frandy Duchy.

But there will naturally be significant casualties.

"That's also true, anyway, I've heard the other two army routes have already reached the Golden Eagle Duchy's Royal City and Olan Duchy's Royal City, obliterating the Three Great Dukedoms in over half a month's time; other nations haven't even received the news. Steadily advancing at such a last moment is quite wise."

Since the Dragon Nest Legion began dispatching troops from the Border Great Wall, it's been less than a month.

The southern parts of the Three Great Dukedoms have all fallen under the Dragon Nest Legion's control, and during this period, have been ruled and stabilized by the Blue Dragon Kingdom's grassroots government, initiating production work.

This is why Major General Tom could transport large amounts of supplies steadily to the front lines across half the nation.

"Truly exciting, I've heard this creation is a powerful weapon designed by the Kingdom Magic Research Institute over ten years, capable of slaying legends; recent advances in material science finally led to its creation. It's genuinely a massive thing!"

Indeed, it's massive,

Standing over a hundred meters tall, looking down upon any alchemy cannon on the ground.

Though Major General Jon doesn't comprehend its principles, the colossal size, along with the barely perceptible sense of dread emanating from it, evokes fear.

These four "Iron Towers," appearing for the first time on the Dragon Nest Legion's battlefield, perfectly suited to test their might!

Major General Jon refocuses his gaze towards the Royal City,

He seems to already see,

The sky-rending attacks shattering and collapsing the diverse magical defensives within the Royal City!

....

On this day,

With the completion of four hundred-meter-high iron towers, the Steel Giant Beasts drag away vast quantities of materials, while beastmen, elves, and human scientists conduct final adjustments.

Long cables, piling high like hemp ropes, run wild on the ground, connecting the four massive towers.

Meanwhile,

The entire Dragon Nest Legion camp stirs this day, innumerable soldiers begin streaming out from the camp, surging like a black torrent.

Their bodies sheathed in magic armor, one hand holding a nearly person-high, indestructible long shield, the other gripping a long spear reaching two to three meters tall.

Row upon row, they begin moving in unison.

Much like a surging tide of iron armor, steadily advancing toward the Royal City,

Behind them,

Rows of heavily-armored cavalry mounted on modified extraordinary horses, uniformly raise their charging long spears; their aura rises at this moment, interlinking, nearly forming an unbreachable wall!

Further back, rows upon rows of densely packed alchemy giant cannons neatly line up, their enormous black barrels angled skyward.

The siege,

is about to begin!
