Chapter 492 - 498: The Legendary City
Chapter 492 - 498: The Legendary City
The Mad Dragon Heska is the pinnacle of this world, whether in personal strength, army strength, influence, or appeal, he is the strongest in the Earth Dragon Realm.
Hang Yu and Nazg joined forces to capture the Desert Province.
But the Desert Province is just one of the Nine Great Provinces.
The power of one province is still not enough!
Far from enough!
If the Mad Dragon Heska could be easily threatened, why wait until today? He would have been dealt with long ago!
So to confront the Mad Dragon Heska.
It is essential to find other powerful forces.
At this moment, Nazg said, "The Blackthorn Alliance, sixty years ago, was at its strongest in history, and it was the only time the alliance had a chance to shake Mist Dragon City."
"Shake Mist Dragon City?" Hang Yu was somewhat surprised. "How did they do it? That doesn’t seem possible!"
Why is Mist Dragon City called Mist Dragon City?
It is located in the central region of Dragon Ridge, a super massive natural labyrinth made up of hundreds of intertwined mountain ranges, known as the Labyrinth City.
Want to attack Mist Dragon City?
Then you have to traverse mountains and ridges.
Defeat countless cities along the way, cross numerous dangerous places, and spend a lot of time before arriving in front of Mist Dragon City.
Because Dragon Ridge has the most monsters, cities, and population in this realm, ordinary flying troops cannot fly directly over it. Faced with such an impregnable, hard-to-attack Mist Dragon City, causing it any threat is extremely difficult!
Even according to Hang Yu’s plan.
The current mission is just to stabilize the territory.
The Earth Dragon Realm already has around a hundred thousand humans, as long as they have about a year to develop, they should have the ability to besiege Dragon Ridge, but in the short term, there’s no thought of attacking Mist Dragon City.
Nazg clearly noticed Hang Yu’s surprise.
He said, "The alliance at the time was not reckless and attacking Mist Dragon City with the alliance’s strength was a form of risking one’s neck, but at that time, someone discovered an ancient Relic City!"
Upon hearing this.
Hang Yu’s expression slightly changed.
He felt a twinge in his brain.
Fragments of memories seemed to be triggered.
Nazg saw Hang Yu’s strange expression and immediately asked, "What’s wrong?"
Hang Yu said, "Nothing, keep talking!"
"According to current legends, after repairing a part of the city, the alliance discovered it was an airborne city with the ability to move suspended in the air!" Nazg said, "This city is equipped with extremely powerful firepower, enough to be called an aerial fortress, capable of directly attacking Mist Dragon City from mid-air."
Hang Yu recalled another detail.
However, this time, it was not innate memory but something he had experienced; he remembered that the High-level Goblin Magical Potion Master Samuel had said that whoever could take down the Mad Dragon Heska could become the master of Blackthorn City.
Blackthorn City is not an ordinary city!
It should be a Floating City driven by magic-guiding!
From a certain perspective, it is a supercarrier with city functions, and precisely because it is not a conventional city, Mad Dragon Heska has not found any clues about it until now.
Nazg continued, "Unfortunately, just as the Blackthorn Alliance poured all resources into restoring this Relic City, it suffered a devastating blow from Heska, resulting in huge losses, disintegration, and the attack plan completely vanished."
Hang Yu asked, "You mean to find this city?"
"That’s right, only by activating Blackthorn City can we gather the alliance forces scattered across the Earth Dragon Realm," Nazg said, then changed his tone: "However, few people knew the whereabouts of this city back then due to confidentiality, and most of those in the know have fallen; I don’t know its location now."
The most troublesome aspect lies here.
Over sixty years ago, Nazg hadn’t awakened yet, and there wasn’t this Wisdom Beastman, so he did not participate in events at that time.
After Nazg joined the Blackthorn Alliance, he quietly developed in the Desert Province, to avoid Heska’s spies noticing anomalies, he never attempted to organize a search.
After all, the Earth Dragon Realm is vast.
Who knows where the Suspended City went?
Now, the emergence of humans has given Nazg hope to deal with Mad Dragon Heska, so he took the risk to prematurely expose and declare war on Mad Dragon Heska.
Heska’s revenge will soon come.
Finding this city in the short term is easier said than done?
Undoubtedly, this is a highly challenging task, but humans and the alliance need the city’s strength now.
We must give it a try!
Hang Yu’s lips curled into a smile.
The ancient Relic City in the Earth Dragon Realm is so old that Hang Yu actually has related records and information in his memory.
But Hang Yu’s memories.
Many are in a dormant state.
They get activated when receiving external cues.
Nazg mentioning this matter triggered his memories.
Hang Yu thought for a moment and said, "I have a way to find this city!"
Nazg puzzled, asked, "What way?"
"Well, it’s complicated to explain. Every area in the Earth Dragon Realm has a human presence, and we, as the Descent Race, possess some special abilities, so finding this city is not difficult."
Hang Yu was relatively confident.
What worried him was another matter: "The problem is that searching takes time, and the Mad Dragon King’s troops will soon arrive..."
Nazg confidently said, "I will personally guard the Desert Province. As long as I’m in the Desert Province, unless Heska takes action himself, there will be no danger in the short term."
It’s decided!
Hang Yu will search for the Suspended City.
Nazg will stay and guard the Desert Province.
With the guidance of innate memory, Hang Yu believes finding the city isn’t too difficult.
Heska’s influence in the Desert Province is very limited.
After all, the Desert Province is the farthest province from Dragon Ridge.
Having served as Governor for over twenty years, Nazg is deeply revered by the Earth Lords, not losing to their fear of Heska, he has the ability to integrate the Desert Province’s war potential to resist for a while, so the problem shouldn’t be big.
Hang Yu sought out Er Gou to inquire about the current situation.
Er Gou replied, "Woof, Boss, no need to worry, Gale City, Dark Fire City, and Thousand Marsh City have all started to accommodate human teams, and some disobedient Minor Lords have been cleared out."
"Except for a few Main Cities, many independent territories are now also starting to accommodate human teams, bearing the Governor’s flag and implementing emergency reforms, and the effects will be quickly manifesting."
Hang Yu nodded, then said, "Get Old Zhao and Old Xu to hurry up, just following the method of governing Sand Spring City, exempt all taxes where exemptable, provide welfare where needed, and for Earth Lords harboring dissent and undermining from behind, don’t fuss, just uproot them."
"Woof, resolving external issues before internal ones, this principle this dog understands," Er Gou said. "Stick and carrot tactics together, these Earth Lords aren’t fools."
Hang Yu ordered, "I will leave the Desert Province for a time, looking for new forces to deal with Mist Dragon City. All next work must be reported to Old Zhao and Old Xu."
The Azure Dragon team has always been stable.
That’s why Hang Yu feels assured.
Though the situation in the Desert Province is somewhat chaotic, Hang Yu believes Xu and Zhao have the ability to stabilize the situation, and he trusts the core members of Azure Dragon can perform their roles, so freed of worries, he can leave immediately.
According to memory.
Blackthorn City is most likely in the West Sea Province.
Hang Yu returned to Jiang City, replenishing some key supplies, then was ready to depart.
