522: Chapter 522: The Black Dragon Strikes the City 522: Chapter 522: The Black Dragon Strikes the City “What exactly happened?

Why did Dragon Bone City suddenly come under attack?” Sophia asked in panic.

The devastation of Dragon Bone City far exceeded Sophia’s expectations.

Luca, however, replied calmly.

“The Dragon King’s forces have been preparing for this attack for a long time.

Not long ago, his men who were stationed around the Black Forest camp withdrew.

That was why we were able to quickly clear the secret base that the Dragon King’s forces had set up near the Black Forest camp.” His explanation finally helped Sophia understand.

As all the clues came together, she began to see the overall plan of action from the Dragon King’s forces.

It was because the Dragon King’s men were unable to easily destroy the Black Forest camp that they changed their focus.

They concentrated all their forces outside Dragon Bone City and launched a surprise attack on it.

“But why now?

Why did it have to happen exactly when we had just completed our mission?” Sophia pressed further.

This time, Luca did not immediately answer.

He simply clenched the Dusk Seal in his hand.

At this moment, he seemed hesitant.

Under normal circumstances, Luca would never withhold important information from Sophia.

They had been cooperating for a long time and had been through countless life-and-death battles together.

Therefore, their trust in each other was rock-solid.

However, the information related to the Ancient Gods was very different from other intelligence.

The more one understood about the Ancient Gods, the more they could be influenced by them.

The more one knew about the Ancient Gods, the higher the likelihood of being twisted into a monster by the Ancient Gods’ primal power.

For Sophia’s safety, Luca ultimately decided to withhold the most important information.

He merely said, “It’s probably just a coincidence.” His answer naturally didn’t satisfy Sophia, and she was about to press further.

However, before she could continue, Luca interrupted her questioning.

“Our priority right now is to return to Dragon Bone City as quickly as possible!

We need to provide assistance to the Crimson King and his men.

We’ll deal with everything else after the battle is over!” After saying these words, Luca immediately began moving towards Dragon Bone City at the fastest speed possible.

Sophia agreed with Luca’s assessment, so she decided to leave these questions for after the battle.

While Luca was hurrying back to Dragon Bone City, the destruction in the city was rapidly escalating.

A large number of Dragonkin soldiers emerged from the teleportation portals.

They quickly stormed into various districts of Dragon Bone City, and every district was plunged into chaotic fighting.

When Crimson King’s subordinates were caught off guard by the surprise attack, they reacted swiftly, but still found themselves in a fierce struggle.

They were scattered across different areas of Dragon Bone City, unable to support one another.

Crimson King himself was trapped within the palace.

In the Eastern District of Dragon Bone City, after Lucas defeated a Dragonkin warrior in front of him, he quickly scanned his surroundings.

“These damn Dragonkin are everywhere!

There are too many of them!

I need to retreat to a safer place!” At that moment, he was surrounded by a large number of Dragonkin warriors, while his comrades were few and far between.

In such a situation, Lucas had no choice but to retreat.

Instinctively, he made his way toward the center of Dragon Bone City.

On his way there, he encountered many more Dragonkin warriors, increasing the pressure he felt.

From his perspective, the entire Dragon Bone City was quickly falling into the hands of the Dragon King.

After passing through a gate that had already been destroyed, Lucas finally entered the core area of Dragon Bone City.

Before he could catch his breath, countless arrows were suddenly shot at him.

Unprepared and with no time to react, Lucas could not dodge in time.

The arrows were about to strike him!

Just then, he felt a powerful force yank him.

The arrows narrowly missed, flying past his neck.

Lucas was dragged forcefully to the ground by this unseen force.

In his panic and confusion, he tried to quickly assess the situation around him.

Before he could get back to his feet, another wave of arrows came rushing toward him.

This time, a familiar figure stepped in front of him, blocking the arrows.

It was Andrea.

It was Andrea who had pulled Lucas down just in time, preventing him from being struck by the arrows.

At this moment, Andrea was clad in his signature, magnificent armor, holding a heavy greatsword in both hands.

With a swift motion, he swung the greatsword, deflecting all the arrows that had been shot at him.

“What are you standing there for?

Hurry up and help!” Andrea’s voice came from within the heavy armor.

Lucas quickly scrambled to his feet and joined the battle.

The two of them quickly eliminated all of the Dragon King’s subordinates around them.

Even the archers who had been hiding in the shadows and shooting arrows were found and dealt with.

After clearing the area of enemies, Lucas finally let out a sigh of relief.

“Why hasn’t Crimson King made a move himself?

The Dragon King’s lackeys have already launched a surprise attack on Dragon Bone City!

Can he really just sit back and do nothing?” Lucas asked the question that had been bothering him the most.

In his view, Crimson King was incredibly powerful.

If Crimson King intervened, these Dragon King’s subordinates who dared to attack Dragon Bone City would surely be wiped out in no time.

Andrea didn’t answer immediately.

The heavy visor of Andrea’s armor concealed his expression.

But Lucas could sense Andrea’s hesitation.

“If you’re in a difficult position, then I won’t ask any more.

Let’s just continue fighting!” Lucas didn’t want to put Andrea in an uncomfortable situation.

Aside from the initial hostility Andrea had shown him when they first arrived at Dragon Bone City, Andrea had always been very considerate toward him.

And Lucas also believed that Andrea couldn’t possibly know Crimson King’s true intentions.

“I’m not really in a difficult position,” Andrea suddenly spoke up.

“I don’t know why Crimson King hasn’t made a move directly.

After Dragon Bone City was attacked by the enemy, I tried several times to contact Crimson King, but I wasn’t able to get through.” Andrea’s words left Lucas stunned.

“But isn’t Crimson King living in the palace in Dragon Bone City?

Why couldn’t you get in touch with him?

Could it be that Crimson King…” Lucas’s words trailed off halfway.

He dared not continue speaking.

Andrea shook his head.

“Crimson King is incredibly powerful.

In a situation where Dragon King has not personally intervened, Crimson King will not be easily defeated.” “Then what’s going on?

Could it be that Crimson King deliberately let us fall into a huge crisis to test our will and combat abilities?” At this point, both of them fell silent.

Crimson King was certainly in trouble.

“Don’t worry about it too much!

Let’s just focus on doing our part.” After a brief silence, Andrea said solemnly.

Lucas didn’t press the issue any further this time, as he too realized that focusing on their own tasks was the most important thing.

The two then began moving towards the most intense area of the battle.

The fighting in Dragon Bone City was still raging on.

At the highest point of Dragon Bone City, outside Crimson King’s palace, a massive black dragon stood watching the palace with its large eyes glowing a dim yellow.

This black dragon was none other than Dragon King’s son, Black Dragon Marcel.

Although he couldn’t be called Dragon King yet, Black Dragon Marcel was still one of the most powerful dragons.

He had successfully trapped Crimson King within the palace.

Crimson King had been constantly attempting to break the seal, but all his attempts had ultimately failed.

However, those attempts had also kept Black Dragon Marcel here.

Black Dragon Marcel could not leave.

If he did, Crimson King would immediately break through the seal.

As a result, the battle in Dragon Bone City could only be fought by ordinary soldiers.

Neither Black Dragon Marcel nor Crimson King could intervene directly.

The overall situation in Dragon Bone City was now very favorable for the Dragon King’s faction.

Dragon Bone City itself was an important city controlled by Crimson King.

For the Dragon King faction, even if they couldn’t capture the city, causing massive chaos within it was still a victory.

This made Black Dragon Marcel quite pleased.

While keeping Crimson King contained, he happily watched Dragon Bone City descend into chaos.

Just when he thought everything was going smoothly, a Dragonkin messenger suddenly ran up to him.

“Your Highness, Crimson King’s reinforcements are continuously arriving, and the battle is shifting in a direction unfavorable to us!

We also need more reinforcements.” Upon hearing this, Black Dragon Marcel’s face twisted into a savage expression.

This operation had been carried out in secret, without the knowledge of the others.

Although he was the strongest in battle among all of Dragon King’s offspring, he was not the most favored among his siblings.

He needed to prove to Dragon King that he was the most capable of his children by destroying Dragon Bone City.

In such circumstances, he had no intention of seeking help from others.

And even if he did ask for support, no one would offer it to him.

“Our own strength is enough!

We don’t need anyone else’s help!

Stay confident, keep fighting, and stop talking this defeatist nonsense!” Black Dragon Marcel roared in anger.
