Chapter 809 The Dragonflight Descends
Lance. The Metal Fortress.
The hoard brought back from Tempest Keep had already been organized, properly stored, and transported back to the World of Adepts.
This raid alone could bring as much as six to seven million worth of profit to the Crimson Clan. Furthermore, mixed amongst the many magical crystals, crystal cores, magical materials, and treasures were large numbers of mysterious items that were awaiting appraisal.
In particular, most of the magical equipment was not suited for the massive physiques of the dragons but was still included in their hoard like a collection of art pieces.
With the sharp eye of a Fourth Grade dragon, the lowest of this magical equipment would have to be Second Grade. Some of it might even be powerful Third or Fourth Grade equipment. Though the dragons couldn’t use these items, the adepts could easily make use of them with some slight modifications.
With the appearance of such a large number of exceptional items, the equipment of the Crimson adepts would definitely improve significantly!
Moreover, after performing a rough inventory of the dragon’s hoard, Greem was surprised to find that most of the materials required to forge the other three Fire Throne set pieces had also been found. The remaining materials could easily be gathered in the World of Adepts with a few magical crystals.
The dragonflight attacked!
The fruits they had reaped earlier were so sweet, and the trouble that they had to endure now was so bitter.
The metal fortress that had most of its magical machine army and metal reserves relocated was still standing in the distance. There was no more combat personnel inside the empty fortress apart from ten thousand magical machines waiting on alert.
The metal fortress would fall eventually.
Assigning Crimson adepts there to die along with the fortress was meaningless.
Greem and Gazlowe did not attempt to move the last defensive forces after removing most of their resources and metal reserves. If the dragons believed the fortress was so easy to break through, they were welcome to try.
Though defeat was inevitable and capture was a matter of time, Gazlowe was confident that the impenetrable wall of the fortress and the ten-thousand-strong magical machine army would give the dragonflight a painful and memorable lesson!
That was the main reason that Greem had remained in the fortress along with Gazlowe!
…………
After seventeen grueling hours of waiting, the dragonflight arrived!
Dragon roars echoed outside as muscular dragons cut across the sky, diving past the cloud layer and charging at the mountain where the fortress was built.
There were no battlecries or insults. Both parties were engaged in mortal combat the moment they ran into each other.
The metal fortress had always been hidden inside the massive mountain as a disguise.
With the belly of the mountain fully excavated, there was only a thin layer of several dozen meters of rock maintaining the structure of the mountain.
At this moment, several dozen dragons of various colors and attributes were unleashing their dragon’s breath upon the mountain. The mountain layer over the fortress melted like wax, revealing the shiny metal shell beneath.
