Chapter 1312: Plans Being Made
Everyone realized this in their hearts, and the atmosphere of the meeting became more solemn.
"This is indeed an extremely powerful opponent, but please don't forget that we are no longer fighting alone. A violent storm can break a single tree, but it cannot destroy a forest."
Lei Xiao's voice was still sonorous and powerful, making the eyes of every participant firm again.
"Then let's move on to the last item of the meeting and formulate our battle plan."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, he nodded at Connet.
Although there is no magic sand table like the Ice Stone City here and the real-time terrain of the Misty Dream Peak cannot be projected, as a master of dwarf illusion, Cornet can undoubtedly construct a complete sand table through illusion.
After all, it was once the home of the dwarfs, and through the scenes in the dragon mirage, Cornette knew the most about the dragon's lair hidden inside the Misty Dream Peak.
After receiving Lei Xiao's signal, the dwarf elf Prince Huanyao immediately nodded, and a gray illusion wave visible to the naked eye surged out from the top of the staff in his hand.
Wherever the energy waves went, a three-dimensional illusion sand table that was extremely similar to the Ice Stone City was quickly constructed and soon fully displayed on the round conference table in front of everyone.
"As expected of you, the dwarf elves' number one illusion master."
Lei Xiao first praised Cornette, and then looked at the illusion sand table in front of him.
In the center of the illusion sandbox, there was a continuous stretch of majestic mountains, and the protruding position in the middle of the mountains was also the most dangerous place, which was the Wumeng Peak where the opponent was entrenched.
Although the top of Wumeng Peak is towering into the clouds, most of the mountain is relatively flat and thick, which undoubtedly means that the opponent can build an extremely large dragon cave inside the mountain.
Around Wumeng Peak are scattered abandoned cities of the dwarves.
Most of these cities were built on the mountains, and some even hollowed out parts of the mountains, which were quite similar to the Immortal Fortress, and were all depicted on the illusion sand table.
Among these large and small dwarf cities, there is a giant city that is no less large than the land favored by God and is extremely eye-catching. This is the capital of the dwarfs, the City of Misty Dreams.
Wumeng City was also built on Wumeng Peak, and the other side extends all the way to the lower-lying Wumeng Canyon, divided into two floors.
The continuous towering city walls, unique design style and appropriate urban layout look quite shocking even if they are reduced to the size of two palms on the illusion sandbox.
"Your Majesty, the dwarves are undoubtedly very familiar with this area. Let your Majesty introduce this place to you."
Lei Xiao's eyes moved and he nodded at Broy again.
"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey."
Broy took the baton from Cornet and stood up from his seat.
Although the dwarf was small in stature, the tree people had already prepared a corresponding tiptoeing platform, so Broy could easily point to the illusion sandbox in front of him.
"According to the important intelligence provided by His Majesty, our final destination is the place where the Dragon King is crowned, deep in the dragon's lair at Wumeng Peak. Before that, we need to pass through the three main lines of defense set up by the dragon clan."
Broy's resolute face was full of seriousness. He pointed his baton at a large area around Wumeng Peak and continued, "The first level we need to pass is the Dragon Mirage."
"Due to the abundance of illusion energy particles in Wumeng Peak and Wumeng Canyon, dragon mirages, which are extremely difficult to produce, are almost commonplace here. As long as a giant dragon falls into a deep sleep in the dragon's lair, it will soon spread to the surrounding area, forming a natural barrier full of dangers."
"And according to our observations, the more dragons fall into slumber, the harder it is to deal with the dragon mirages that form. The opponent has obviously discovered this a long time ago, so the dragon mirages have never stopped for hundreds of years, making it impossible for any vicious monsters or wandering strongmen to approach Wumeng Peak at will."
After hearing what Broy said, everyone nodded thoughtfully.
Regarding this, not only the dwarves, but also the wood elves and tree people are very clear.
The dragon mirage is full of strange illusions and powerful physical illusions. There is no pattern at all, and there is no way to get out except to force your way in.
If a person is at level six, he can still stay awake in this dragon mirage formed by multiple giant dragons. If he attempts to go deep into the core area of the dragon mirage, even a person at level five will probably lose his way. And if he is below level five, he can hardly move forward.
"Just as His Majesty the Dwarf Elf said, the enemy obviously knows the blocking effect of the Dragon Mirage, so they deliberately set up this line of defense. This is indeed an obstacle that we must break through."
Lei Xiao took over the conversation and added: "But fortunately, with the assistance of Bingshi City, we can directly reach the foot of Wumeng Peak, saving a lot of trouble in crossing the Dragon Mirage."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, everyone nodded excitedly.
After several appearances, this land of divine favor owned by Lei Xiao is no longer unfamiliar to everyone. With the assistance of the land of divine favor, we can indeed save a lot of trouble.
Although the terrain of Wumeng Peak is steep and Bingshi City cannot teleport directly to the other party's doorstep, being able to teleport to the foot of the mountain is already a great help.
"This means that we only need to open up a passage from the bottom of the mountain to the entrance of the dragon's cave at the top of the mountain."
Lei Xiao asked Broy, "Your Majesty, can the dwarfs open up a path like this in the dragon mirage without being noticed by the other party?"
“Although the closer we get to the core area of the Dragon Mirage, the more serious its influence will be, and the physical illusions will become more rampant, the dwarves have been prepared for this moment for a long time.”
Broy first exchanged glances with Cornet, then said confidently: "This is not a problem, just leave it to us."
"Very good, then the opponent's first line of defense is solved."
Lei Xiao snapped his fingers lightly and said to the dwarf elf king, "Please continue."
"Okay, the enemy's second line of defense is the absolute defense barrier deployed at the entrance of the nest."
Broy nodded to Lei Xiao first, then pointed to the upper part of Wumeng Peak and said solemnly: "Based on the scenes we have observed in the dragon mirage for hundreds of years, we can be completely sure that the enemy has deployed an extremely powerful absolute defense barrier with the dragon cave area inside Wumeng Peak as the core."
"This absolute defense barrier covers every corner of the dragon's lair, including the coronation site that Your Majesty mentioned. So if we want to enter the dragon's lair, we must break this barrier."
After hearing what Broy said, everyone took a deep breath of the cold air.
Even if we pass through the first line of defense silently and smoothly, the moment we attack the absolute defense barrier at the entrance of the nest, the enemy will definitely be aware of our presence.
At that time, the enemy and us will really start a head-on confrontation.
"Everyone, if we fail to break through this absolute defense barrier in the first place, the other side will definitely be prepared, and the situation will be extremely bad."
Broy's solemn voice sounded again, and he said solemnly, "In other words, we must break this barrier instantly, so that we can catch the opponent off guard. This is what we must do."
"Your Majesty the Dwarf is right. Don't forget that not all of the enemies are staying in the dragon cave. There are quite a few patrol teams scattered in the surrounding areas."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and added: "If we can't quickly break the barrier and then guard the entrance to the nest, we will be in a disadvantageous situation of being attacked from both sides when the enemy comes to help."
Lei Xiao was actually not very worried about this.
You know, the tree people and dwarf elves each have 20 sixth-level combat forces, and the wood goblins also have 10 sixth-level combat forces, which does not include the sixth-level forces and many sixth-level attack scrolls under their command.
With so many sixth-level fighters attacking one point without warning, even if the opponent is well prepared, the defensive barrier will probably collapse in an instant.
Of course, the prerequisite is that we can successfully break through the first line of defense and then quietly reach the second line of defense.
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Although the dragon mirage will not have any effect on the same clan, the Wumeng Peak itself is shrouded in thick fog all year round, which will greatly affect vision.
In addition, the energy fluctuations in that area are extremely chaotic, and it is difficult to detect our presence through breath.
To sum up, if we are cautious and prudent, we can indeed achieve the preemptive strike as planned.
However, even if we successfully break through the first two lines of defense, there is still an extremely important problem before facing the third line of defense.
That is what I just mentioned, guarding the entrance to the dragon's lair to prevent a large number of enemy troops patrolling around from coming back to provide support, otherwise you will still be caught in a situation where you will be attacked from both sides.
"Your Majesty, the task of guarding the entrance to the dragon's lair will be left to us wood fairies."
Chris volunteered, stood up from her seat and said, "In order to deal with those flying giants, we have been practicing various anti-aircraft spells day and night for hundreds of years. Now is the time for us to show our skills!"
"Then leave it to the clan leader. In addition, the Ice Stone City at the foot of the mountain will also fully cooperate to help the clan leader block the enemy reinforcements."
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"Your Excellency, Chief of the Wood Fairies, there is one thing we need to remind the Wood Fairies. According to the results we obtained from the dragon mirage, there is not only one entrance to the dragon's lair, but three in total."
Broy first signaled Cornet to magnify the entire Wumeng Peak on the illusion sand table, and then pointed his baton at three different locations on the peak. He then said, "There is only one entrance to the nest that we are attacking. If we want to prevent the enemy from coming back for reinforcements, we must block all three entrances to the nest."
"This means that, apart from the entrance we entered, the wood elves guarding the other two entrances may be attacked from both sides."
After hearing Broy's reminder, neither Chris nor the surrounding wood fairy elders such as Ober showed any fear. Instead, they were full of fighting spirit.
Chris took a deep breath and said seriously, "Don't worry, Your Majesty the Dwarf Elf. We have been waiting for this moment for five hundred years. Even if the wood elves are completely wiped out, we will never let a single helper enter the nest!"
"The determination of the wood fairies is amazing. Don't worry, I will fulfill my promise and maximize the combat power of the wood fairies."
Lei Xiao first nodded to Chris, then looked at Broy, motioning him to continue speaking.
"Your Majesty and everyone else, please look."
As soon as Broy's baton touched the mountain on the illusion sand table, the mountain, which was originally invisible inside, became translucent.
Inside the huge mountain, there were intricate passages like ant holes, leading to various parts of the mountain, just like a complicated maze.
"This is also the internal structure of the dragon cave that we have analyzed based on the scenes in the dragon mirage over the past hundreds of years."
Broy's baton slid back and forth in the passages, and the golden lines became clear. He continued, "This third line of defense is the red dragon in the dragon's lair."
As Broy described, the dragon caves at the end of the passage became clearer.
These dragon caves of various sizes are distributed throughout the mountain, and are obviously where the dragons sleep.
"As you can see, most of the opponents in the dragon cave are resting in their respective areas. Except for groups of people going out on patrol, they generally do not visit each other."
Broy's voice sounded again, reaching everyone's ears: "Then what we need to do is very simple."
"Intercept the scattered opponents at various intersections before they can react?"
Lei Xiao reacted immediately and blurted out.
"That's right, Your Majesty. This is the only way to disperse the enemy's combat power to the greatest extent possible and prevent them from hindering us from eradicating the culprit and his minions."
Broy nodded heavily and affirmed.
"Then let us, the tree people, take care of this task."
Shuerte looked ready to fight and said, "In such a limited area, even these flying lizards can't spread their wings and fly high. This is the time for us to show our skills."
After Shuerte finished speaking, the other tree people elders also nodded.
After transforming into a giant tree, the tree man's huge size is indeed enough to compete with the dragon.
Looking at the determined eyes of the tree people, a hint of solemnity flashed across Lei Xiao's eyes.
Having said that, even if the opponent is unable to fly, the attributes can still absolutely restrain the tree man. After all, the scorching dragon breath will not be affected in any way.
This means that this will not be an easy battle for the tree people.
The narrow dragon's lair limits the opponents' wings and also deprives the tree people who have left the forest of any retreat.
"I understand. I'll leave it to you guys."
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment and finally nodded.
After the tree people expressed their determination again, a look of embarrassment appeared on Broy's resolute face.
