Era of Castles: Starting with 99 Dragon Eggs

Chapter 245: The Calm Before the Great War!

In a rocky area south of the Dragon Castle, looking down from a high altitude.

Between the huge granite rocks were countless mechanical devices the size of a dragon.

The dragons that Mike had sent out to scout previously had repeatedly explored this area twice.

However, after the dragons scouted the area, the passage hidden in the hard rock was opened.

Countless mechanical devices poured out from within. The person controlling these mechanical devices was a short gnome.

These gnome creatures were actually a branch of the Hill Dwarves.

The Hill Dwarves that were distributed in the underground world had evolved over a long period of time and had two different types of dwarves.

One was the Hill Dwarves who lived in the rocky landscape, while the other became gnomes that lived in the underground world.

The appearance of the gnomes could be said to be a secret of the Hill Dwarves.

This caused many races in the outside world to not know the existence of the gnomes.

At this moment, the goblins controlled the mechanical devices to move forward. A rumbling sound came from the mechanical devices.

The gnomes who controlled the machinery shouted excitedly. It was because this was the first time the gnomes had left the dark underground world.

“Hahaha, I want to control the powerful machinery to flatten all the enemies that are standing in our way!”

“This big guy has very powerful explosives in it. It’s easy to blow up a small hill!”

“Keep your voice down and be careful of those Hill Dwarves behind you!”

“Humph, if those Hill Dwarves didn’t need help from us Gnomes, we wouldn’t have fought for them!”

“The things that the Hill Dwarves traded with us this time are indeed very good. As long as we can help the Hill Dwarves to conquer the Dragon Castle, we will get the Rock Essence!”

“Haha, when I hear the word ‘Rock Essence’, I can’t help but laugh out loud!”

“Of course! The Rock Essence are our gnomes’ dream treasure. After refining them, we can create mechanical devices that are even more powerful!”

“Shh, keep your voices down. We can’t let the Hill Dwarves see how proud we are!”

Countless gnomes controlled the mechanical devices as they moved through the rocky mountains.

The relationship between these gnomes and the Hill Dwarves was very complicated.

They relied on each other and were wary of each other.

After all, after a long time, the dwarves who became gnomes were very different from the Hill Dwarves in all aspects.

This time, in order to beat the Anti-dragon Alliance and the Alliance of Gods, the Hill Dwarves did not hesitate to reveal their trump card, the Rock Essence.

Only then did they invite the gnomes from the underground world out of the mountains.

One had to know that the talent of the gnomes was to create all kinds of strange and powerful mechanical devices.

One by one, the precise gears connected with each other and finally formed a very ingenious mechanical device.

It was different from the army formed by the exotic beasts.

These strange-looking machines were covered with powerful cannons, and the energy required to activate them once was also extremely astonishing.

Just like what the gnome had said before, a single machine could easily destroy a small hill. Even if it encountered a dragon with strong defense, it could also instantly break through the dragon’s hard scales.

Most importantly, the gnomes had a large number of machines, with a total of more than 100 machines.

With so many machines, the power of a single shot was unimaginable.

At the moment, the Anti-dragon Alliance and the Alliance of Gods still did not know about the existence of the gnomes.

Therefore, after the gnomes controlled the mechanical devices, even Mike’s Dragon Castle did not know about it.

The gnomes controlled the powerful mechanical devices, which undoubtedly posed the greatest threat to the Dragon Castle.

The entire mechanical device army would need nearly half a month to reach the Dragon Castle, which was thousands of kilometers away.

…

Dragon Castle.

Mike was gathering all the hatched dragons.

After tonight, the Anti-dragon Alliance’s encirclement of the Dragon Castle would be completed. At that time, it would be the time for the Dragon Castle to counterattack.

In order to avoid any unexpected situations, Mike looked at the dragons that were lined up in front of him.

“My Children, in a few hours, our Dragon Castle will usher in the moment of complete annihilation of the Anti-dragon Alliance!”

Mike did not hold back his words. He continued to say to the dragons, “After a few secret investigations around the Dragon Castle, we have obtained a lot of useful information!”

He raised a map in his hand, which recorded the locations of the Anti-dragon Alliance hidden around the Dragon Castle.

Next, he arranged the dragons to complete their respective guarding missions.

Malevolent Green Dragon — Tyrell.

He was good at creating dreams and was very suitable to guard the core area of the Dragon Castle. Once the enemy entered Tyrell’s control, they would definitely enter the dream.

Mike had Tyrell hide in the core area of the Dragon Castle.

Spatial Dragon — Hilt.

This dragon had the demeanor of a human gentleman. When fighting the enemy, he often liked to fight the enemy in the open.

Hilt’s personality was very similar to that of the Earth War Dragon. He arranged these two giant dragons to guard the outer perimeter of the Dragon Castle. Only then could he make the most of the abilities of the two giant dragons.

Therefore, Tyrell and the Earth Dragon Derek were responsible for guarding the outer perimeter of the Dragon Castle.

Next was the Extreme Black Demonic Dragon — Barr.

There was also the Undead Dragon — Caesar.

The abilities of these two dragons were also very similar. They could be considered as long-range attacks.

The advantage was that they could attack the enemy before the enemy entered the Dragon Castle.

Mike decided to let the two dragons set up a trap outside the castle in advance.

There were the last two dragons.

The Azure Dragon — Hilar, a water elemental mage.

The Red Lotus Fire Dragon — Flosa, a fire elemental mage.

These two dragons stayed in the Dragon Castle and launched long-range magic attacks against the enemies that attacked the castle.

One had to know that the power of the two elemental dragons, when they used forbidden magic, was enough to destroy all living things within a radius of tens of kilometers.

Moreover, on top of these dragons, there was the Sky City, which was a flying mobile fortress.

This was the greatest weapon to restrict the enemy’s air power.

After Mike arranged the duties of the dragons, all that was left was to wait for the foolish Anti-dragon Alliance to make the first move. They were about to walk right into his trap.

However, what Mike did not know was that in the distant southern hill area of the Dragon Castle, there was a huge mechanical device army that was constantly rushing towards the castle.

The power of more than 100 machinery firing at once was enough to destroy all the buildings of the Dragon Castle. Only a few creatures would be lucky enough to survive.
