Chapter 226 - Cease Fire? Who Are You Looking Down On?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Luna was silent for a moment when she heard Li Cheng’s words. Then, she replied, “I grew up in Purple Agate City. My father was once the city lord...

“Later on, someone coveted his position and assassinated our entire family...

“I survived under the protection of the Goddess, but no one else in my family survived.

“Recently, I found the mastermind behind the assassination...”

Li Cheng was silent. Luna’s plot was not complicated, but Li Cheng could hear the despair in her voice. He asked, “The mastermind? Who is it?”

“A witch, Deceiver,” Luna said truthfully.

Hearing this, Li Cheng was stunned. Deceiver?

He remembered that she was a succubus with the strength of a demigod. She also participated in the war of the Demon King’s son, and she was also Tiavanas’s sister in name.

Li Cheng held Luna’s hand and comforted her, “Don’t worry. I’ll avenge you, Luna. I promise.”

Li Cheng did not care about a demigod at all.

Even if she was a God, Li Cheng would make her pay with her life.

Lillian was his person, and so was Luna as well.

“Revenge, huh...” Luna murmured. Her eyes were a little absent-minded. She held Li Cheng’s hand and did not let go for a long time.

..

Time flew by. Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

The Great Mages in the conference room stared blankly at the screen. This was too f*cking ridiculous.

After firing for half an hour, the dozens of Mythical-grade defense towers and thousands of Legendary-grade defense towers still left the Profound Puppets unharmed. Their health bars did not even move an inch.

Under such firepower, a city would be blown to pieces under normal circumstances, not to mention Li Cheng’s one million troops.

The most hateful thing was that Li Cheng was actually eating roasted meat in front of them, even flirting with a few female heroes. They felt like they were about to explode from anger as their blood pressures soared.

At this moment, a mage rushed into the conference room and reported, “Guild Leader Frank, our crystal reserves have depleted by ten percent.”

Hearing this, the lips of the Great Mages in the conference room twitched.

Crystals had always been the most needed resources for mages, whether it was for daily expenses of the Mage Towers, alchemy, or the trial of new spells... Each required a large number of crystals.

The friction with the Kingdom of Kent was also caused by a few large crystal resource points. And now, after only half an hour of full firepower, they had already depleted 10% of their reserves.

Frank sighed and said, “Stop half of the defense towers.”

“Yes.” After receiving the order, the mage immediately ran out to carry it out. As his speed was one-second faster, they had saved one second’s worth of crystal stones. It had to be said that the consumption rate of this one second was not to be underestimated as that was the entire defense facility of the Mage City!

At this time, Li Cheng clapped his hands and swallowed the last piece of rabbit meat. He sighed, concluding that it tasted pretty good.

“Eh?”

Suddenly, Li Cheng blinked his eyes in confusion. It seemed that the enemy’s firepower had decreased by quite a bit.

Thinking of this, Li Cheng sneered. How could he not know that the enemy wanted to save resources?

He could not just let them reduce their attacks, right? Otherwise, his time under their artillery fire for half an hour would be a complete waste, right? How could there be such a good thing?

Li Cheng said to Sylvia, “Go, attack those defense towers that aren’t operating.”

“Okay.” Sylvia smiled slightly. She gladly accepted the order and left.

Different from the ordinary defense towers, the countless Mage Towers in Mage City were the symbols of the Great Mages. They served as a defense, residence, and school as one.

These Mage Towers were owned by the Great Mages, and the rapid consumption of crystals had already caused many people to complain.

Frank asked half of the Mage Towers to cease their fire, but the other half who were still firing were not happy. At this moment, a scene broke out in one of the towers.

“Everyone, f*cking cease fire!”

“Are you guys stupid? The enemies are just Meat Shields with a little more HP. They can’t break through our defenses at all!”

“Don’t f*waste any more crystals on them!”

“Why are they the ones to stop firing? Are they planning to use up all my crystals?”

“Everyone, stop firing! Don’t waste any more of my crystals!”

Suddenly, continuous streams of azure Dragon’s Breath poured down from the clouds, accompanied by a deafening roar.

Roar!!!

Roar!!!

One of the Great Mages in his Mage Towers instantly widened his eyes. Under the cold Dragon’s Breath, countless defensive structures were instantly covered with thick layers of ice.

The Great Mage’s eyelids twitched violently as he roared furiously, “Fire! Fire at full power!”

The apprentices were alarmed. “Reporting to the Great Mage, our Mage Tower’s unable to operate!”

“What did you say?!” The Great Mage was equally stunned. The Legendary-grade Mage Tower had been frozen? What kind of f*cking army was this?

In less than three seconds, a violent explosion was heard.

A Legendary-grade Mage Tower was instantly blown into pieces. A mushroom cloud appeared in its wake and the huge aftershock shook the surrounding buildings.

The appearance of the Frost Dragon woke up countless Great Mages, and the collapse of the Mage Tower shocked them all.

That was a Legendary Mage Tower! Taking into account its durability, even the demons that specialized in attacking cities would have to keep attacking for a long time!

Immediately, they activated the defense system of the Mage Towers, and an invisible energy shield instantly formed. Then...

Boom!!!

Boom!!!

Boom!!!

Countless earth-shattering explosions were heard, and all the mages stared at the scene in front of them wide-eyed.

Even with their barriers erect, the countless Mage Towers were still not strong enough to withstand the Frost Dragon’s wave of concentrated fire. Soon, one of the Mage Towers exploded.

On top of that, the Frost Dragon completely ignored the ordinary defense towers and only attacked the Mage Towers.

The Great Mages soon noticed the abnormality.

“Everyone, have you noticed? They’re only attacking the Mage Towers that have ceased fire!”

“Ah, I’ve noticed it, too. Everyone, quickly open fire! They won’t dare attack us anymore!”

As soon as these words were said, the eyes of all the Great Mages lit up as they began to open fire once again.

Sure enough, just as they had guessed, as long as a Mage Tower was on full firepower, the Frost Dragon would ignore it. Seeing this scene, the Great Mages rejoiced. It seemed as if they had escaped a disaster.

Although the consumption of crystals still made their hearts ache, it was still better than exploding on the spot, right?
