Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 885 - 586: Turn Red Lion City Upside Down

"Switch tactics, Abel, you’re the fastest, so go distract those soldiers first, then we’ll charge in and engage."

At the blessing place of Celia in the Magic Town, Uffie and others were sitting and resting, discussing tactics in the meantime.

Without even glancing at Celia in the Magic Town, they were determined to confront the Red Lion Castle head-on this time.

You ask how they confirm it’s the Red Lion Castle?

It’s simple, with so many soldiers stationed there, it must be an important place.

"The guard force there is very strong, in all the areas of the Sain Dungeon, it’s the place with the most monsters."

"But that’s not their problem, nor the Sain Dungeon’s problem."

"It’s our problem!"

"Although the number of enemies is large, with well-discussed tactics, we still have a chance to win. After several attempts, we are bound to win!"

Uffie was delivering a motivational speech before the battle, but the atmosphere seemed a bit off; at least, everyone’s emotions weren’t stirred by this speech.

"Impossible, I absolutely can’t defeat something so huge and thick..."

Moer, still in dragon form, huddled in the corner shivering, using his tail to gather some rubble around to build a wall, especially piling up stones in front of his chest; it seemed that just curling up in the corner wasn’t giving him enough sense of security.

"Alright, alright, quadruped, with me and the teacher here, don’t be afraid anymore." Even Abel rarely didn’t mock Moer, instead comforting him verbally.

"No, you weren’t hit by that thing..."

A fearful growl came from Moer’s throat, his eyes filled with lingering fear as he said in a dull voice:

"I saw it, that spear condensed countless dragon souls, that... that’s a genuine Dragon Slaying Spear!"

"What are you even talking about?" Abel couldn’t understand the babbling state of his companion, looking to Uffie for help, but at this time Luluwo interjected:

"Now, to get your companion to pull himself together, there’s only one way."

"What is it?" Abel was all ears because Uffie had told him to show some respect for these people.

Though these two dragons’ human forms seemed burly like T-800s, they were actually not yet adults and were still considered children among dragons.

Thinking this way, it made sense why the two were bickering noisily earlier and why Moer appeared so cowardly now—it’s just children would be scared for a while once frightened.

"Go and dismantle that spear trap, then he can pull himself together." Luluwo offered what she thought was the best solution.

"Yeah, that’s a great idea!"

Suddenly enlightened, Abel gratefully thanked Luluwo, and ran towards Uffie, seemingly to seek advice.

Watching him leave, Luluwo turned to Berto beside her and asked:

"How many of our people are here now?"

"Except for those who stayed in the Kingdom to maintain daily operations, everyone else who should be here is here, waiting in Black Stone City."

Berto took out a small notebook and handed it to her, on which was a list of people the Skyrim Strategy Group could mobilize in the Warrior Country.

The Skyrim Strategy Group had expanded greatly; apart from the core members present, the rest were adventurers attached under the name of the Skyrim Strategy Group.

If the Skyrim Strategy Group were seen as a sect, then Luluwo was the Sect Master, while the others were elders, Tami, and the newcomers who acted with them were direct disciples, and the rest were outer sect members; most strategy groups, after gaining fame, would undergo such an expansion process.

Luluwo and the others’ way of conquering dungeons had changed from the earlier hands-on approach to using the power of the masses to gather information, verifying and supplementing the details themselves.

"Then your adventure today stops here for now," she said, "Did you record the route to Red Lion Castle?"

"Not only did I record it, but I also used an Image Stone to capture footage along the way." Berto proudly curved his mouth.

Of course, no need to say, he knew what his next task was.

It was to leave the dungeon now and inform those "outer disciples" about the Red Lion Castle.

"Let them go all out and turn Red Lion Castle upside down!"

Thus, with a new mission, Berto left the Sain Dungeon after bidding farewell to everyone.

Over on Abel’s side, Uffie seemed to disagree with his proposal, after all, going to dismantle the Dragon Slaying Spear was still too dangerous, it was better to stick to the original plan steadily.

Under the effect of Revitalization Technique and a series of mind-stimulating spells, Moer finally perked up temporarily, carrying everyone towards Red Lion Castle once again.

Along the way, Abel also transformed into dragon form, a red two-legged flying dragon, smaller in size than Moer, with more slender limbs, so naturally, he was much faster than Moer, but appearance-wise, it seemed it would take him a long time to break Moer’s defense.

Throughout the journey, everyone kept reflecting on and thinking about the experience from battling the Red Lion Legion earlier... but honestly, except for Fanen, most just had the experience of being beaten.

The Red Lion Legion, consisting of more than a hundred men, stood guard at the city gate, looking intimidating from the formation alone.

But on closer inspection, you could see that the largest number were mere minions not considered soldiers, a few were official soldiers, and only a handful of knights were under Latan’s command.

As long as the tactics are appropriate, theoretically speaking, they can be defeated.

It was just that the Dragon-slaying Spear launched a supermodel sudden attack that caused the first group wipeout.

This time, not only did everyone plan to attack head-on, but they also came up with other tactics.

"Boom..."

The group flew in the sky, followed on the ground by a massive, deafening sound of footsteps, caused by numerous monsters trampling the ground, including giant dogs, giant crows, corrupted wild dogs, and even Corruption Favored.

As Abel flew, he scattered the fragments of the Enemy Attraction Skull, attracting the monsters along their path to follow them.

Researchers outside had thoroughly studied the usage of the Enemy Attraction Skull, discovering that the fragments retained the ability to attract monsters even after being destroyed. However, the size of the fragments affected their efficacy, such as those Abel was scattering, which only momentarily attracted monsters that would otherwise not notice them.

This way, those monsters attracted by the fragments would quickly focus their attention on them, then follow them all the way.

Yes, the tactic they devised was to first use Abel and the monsters to disrupt the Red Lion Legion’s defensive line, allowing Moer to carry them over the most chaotic part of the battlefield to find the ideal combat position.

Although they intended to break the defensive line, everyone had little faith in these hastily gathered monsters. Bringing these monsters along primarily served to attract the attacks of the catapults, allowing the group to destroy the catapults completely before going into battle.

A perfect plan, surely it would be executed flawlessly as originally designed.

In fact, at the beginning of the plan, things indeed went like this.

But now...

"How did these Dragons get here, damn it!" Abel wailed.

At this moment, behind him chased a group of "loyal fans," monsters of various shapes, the most formidable being — ["Corruption-entered" Aggis].

This flying dragon, corrupted by the Corruption, was also attracted by the scattered Enemy Attraction Skull fragments Abel had spread everywhere, and it flapped its wings to pursue them.

The ominous appearance, made terrifying by the corruption, brought a tremendous sense of oppression, and there were even accompanying creatures flying alongside it, also flying dragons!

These small flying dragons, emerging from who knows where, looked no different from the regular flying dragons near the Dragon Tomb area, placed casually by Gong Qiying in Galide.

But even ordinary flying dragons are still dragons, their innate strength far exceeds that of general monsters, and at this moment, these dragons, numbering no fewer than three, have also caught up with the main group!

Abel was at a loss for words.

Now it’s hard to tell if he is guiding the monsters to attack the Red Lion City or if the monsters are chasing him to flee in that direction, the offensive and defensive situations have swapped.

"This setup is magnificent!" Looking at Abel, acting like the leader of the monsters, Luluwo couldn’t help but whistle.

Then she patted Moer’s head, signaling to keep a distance from Abel so as not to get splattered with blood in the fight.

Abel steeled his resolve, thinking that since things had reached this point, he might as well go big and charge the monsters directly into Red Lion City!

He acted as he thought, suddenly accelerating, and the monsters could surprisingly match his speed. In an instant, they forcefully headed towards Red Lion City, where the opposing legion was fully prepared, starting air combat like before, with the Dragon-slaying Spear appearing once more.

"With so many forces, a lousy spear can’t bring us down!" Abel shouted, deftly dodging the catapults, first spraying Dragon Flame onto the soldiers.

He felt as if he had already integrated himself into the monsters.

"Well done, Abel!" Uffie shouted in encouragement, as Moer, taking advantage of the defenders’ distracted attention, swiftly crossed through the legion and charged straight at the rear catapults.

However, at this moment, Red Lion City stirred once again.

Moer took a look, fear reappearing in his eyes.

The Dragon-slaying Spear emerged and lined up in a row on the city walls, a massive meat grinder once activated.

But this was not the end; new, unseen weapons emerged above the city walls.

[Giant Dragon Cannon] [Dragon Slayer Cannon] [Large Crossbow Arrow]...

Today’s events were sure to add several more entries to Moer’s psychological trauma.

"Boom boom boom——"

The ongoing barrage resounded throughout Galide, monsters fell like trash, making it impossible to see Abel anywhere.

The effect of Revitalization Technique disappeared at that moment, and the booming sounds reignited Moer’s psychological trauma, his wings suddenly cramping, causing the whole dragon to plummet!

"Hang in there, don’t lose face!"

Luluwo continuously cast stimulating magic, yelling, "Even if you fall, fall towards the gate, crash it open!"

Moer probably didn’t have the time to hear her, as everyone began using the Flying Skill to escape while still on the plane.

At that moment, Fanen turned his head, seemingly noticing something.

Near the tightly closed gate, there seemed to be a small path leading upwards!

Another classic Sain design.
