Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 677 - 065: Fall

An earth-shattering roar erupted, and scorching flames soared upwards. The expanding hot air, mingled with a massive amount of smoke and dust, rose from the ground, forming enormous mushroom clouds.

Inside Siller City,

including the City Lord's Mansion and the Municipal Center, along with the estates where the important figures resided, all the residences of the upper echelon were precisely targeted and attacked by the Blue Dragon Kingdom's agents and spies.

The vast and luxurious City Lord's Mansion was devoured by flames in an instant, turning into ruins amidst the violent explosion.

As the political center of the entire Siller City, the Municipal Center could not escape this terrifying strike. Under the frightening shock waves of the explosion, massive air blasts swept outward in all directions, tearing apart the reinforced concrete buildings imported and produced using funds from the southern Blue Dragon Kingdom, as if they were no more than paper, collapsing into countless fragments scattered across the sky.

The prosperous noble estates also couldn't avoid the fate of being bombarded.

Among the nobility and upper class within Siller City, as well as military and political leaders, hardly anyone managed to escape this series of decapitating attacks.

After years of development, drawing from the various scientific materials brought by Austin from the Otherworld, coupled with the involvement of some mages and alchemists over the years, the Blue Dragon Kingdom's scientific technology has rapidly advanced.

The weapons used for the decapitation plan were created with a great deal of effort, using a combination of science and magic to manufacture alchemy missiles.

Relying on the combined power of magic and technology, even in the absence of satellite positioning, they were still able to precisely strike at each of the leading targets, leaving the tens of thousands of troops in Siller City leaderless and, under continuous artillery attack, completely obliterating the army stationed there.

At the same time,

when the top echelon was remotely annihilated, and the middle-ranked Knight Legion and Mage Legion's extraordinary forces faced a saturation bombardment, causing the entire barracks to collapse,

the towering outer city walls, accompanied by another earth-shattering explosion, saw the entire city gate struck by a "meteor," opening a massive breach in the previously indestructible, thick city walls.

Immediately following,

Rumble!!!

A massive rumbling sound, accompanied by overwhelming smoke and dust, rose from the distance.

Outside the city, monstrous steel giants with fearsome expressions rolled their iron wheels forward, charging like an unstoppable iron tide, crushing all resistance ahead.

Behind this terrifying iron tide, fully armed soldiers holding strange weapons followed closely, jogging after the rampaging flood of iron armor!

Siller City,

was thus breached!

Don't mention the series of sudden attacks that had already left the city army in disarray, lacking cohesion without leadership from upper-level officers, turning into complete chaos.

Even without an assault, it was unlikely they could withstand against such a dreadful iron legion beneath them.

The weak defenses were shattered by the Dragon Nest Legion in a single stroke.

Though a small remnant of the Knight Legion noticed the enemy's attack and organized a defense line to meet the enemy.

However, in front of the formidable iron tide, that small force didn't even make a splash before being crushed to pieces by the flood of iron armor.

The steel giants rolled into the city, dispersing into the surrounding streets, followed by orderly squads of towering soldiers, officially declaring the fall of Siller City.

Such scenes,

also occurred in other major cities of the Frandi Duchy's south.

Important southern cities of the Golden Eagle Duchy and Olan Duchy, heavily garrisoned, also collapsed one after another under the attacks of the Blue Dragon Kingdom and were fully occupied by the Dragon Nest Legion.

...

North of the Border Great Wall lies an endless river plain, rarely seeing any natural barriers such as mountain ranges or hills hindering the roads.

Once the Beastman army from the southern Kawa Great Forest breaks through the Border Great Wall, they will be able to march straight in, ravaging the rich plains, causing significant damage to these countries.

This was why, over a thousand years ago, the Southern Countries, plagued by Beastman raids, set aside their differences and collaborated to construct an impregnable fortification along the Border Great Wall.

This may involve remnants of the Beastman Empire,

but most importantly, it was to guard against invasions from the beast tribes living within the southern Kawa Great Forest.

After almost a millennium of time, an unbreakable military defense line was finally established at the Border Great Wall.

However,

when the Blue Dragon Kingdom breached the Border Great Wall, the one and only natural barrier in the front was seized by the Blue Dragon Kingdom and occupied by the Dragon Nest Beastmen Legion.

The Southern Countries, rife with inter-country conflicts, were unable to unify as a single force to counterattack and reclaim this crucial wall barrier.

Therefore,

in the south of the Frandi Duchy and other Southern Countries, they actually found themselves in a defenseless state.

To prevent the southward advance of the Blue Dragon Kingdom Beastman Legion, the Frandi Duchy, the Golden Eagle Duchy, and others needed to establish a defensive line to their south.

But due to the absence of natural barriers, it was naturally impossible to construct a defensive line like the Border Great Wall that covered the entire border.

Moreover, it's too late to build walls now.

The only option was to reinforce heavily and deploy troops in several important southern cities, supporting each other to form an interlocking military defensive line.

Once the southern Beastman forces attacked one direction, nearby important cities would send troops to assist in resisting the Beastman forces coming from the south.

As for the vast areas between cities,

they were less significant in large-scale national strategic operations.

This is because if the Blue Dragon Kingdom's army dared to bypass heavily garrisoned cities and march through the vast regions between cities, the heavily garrisoned troops could become a dagger in their backs, threatening the enemy army at any turn.

This is also why, in ancient combat, attacking an enemy's nation required conquering cities and lands, one by one.

Reinforcing heavily in cities near the southern border and deploying patrol soldiers in the middle areas thus form the southern border defense line.

And so,

when the Blue Dragon Kingdom's legion charged like a predator down the hill and broke through and occupied all the cities heavily garrisoned by the Three Great Dukedoms to the south,

the defense line already signaled collapse!

This also means,

the entire southern part of the Central Earth World has been torn open by the Blue Dragon Kingdom's army, leaving a massive breach!
