Chapter 1782: Walking into the Trap
As Li Yao initiated the dimensional jump, the warship gradually became ethereal, directly breaking into the rift with the speed of a Draconid Demigod's charge.
"Trying to escape? Today, even if you reach heaven or earth, you won't escape my pursuit."
The Draconid Demigod's long spear swayed, reopening the originally closed rift, and his figure flashed, following the warship into the jump.
"Do not hold the fort to death; if unexpected events occur, you can temporarily avoid them. Do not fight to the end; our goal is the main city, not to exhaust ourselves here with them."
Li Yao's huge voice echoed below, followed by the complete disappearance of the rift.
"Quick, watch the broadcast by Prairie Fire; his broadcast covers the great battle."
While everyone was disappointed at not being able to watch this great battle, someone shouted, and Prairie Fire was not an unknown figure; it was easy to find, and soon they saw the images again.
However, the images before their eyes shocked everyone, and Li Yao's boldness was stunning.
The images showed a vast group of pyramids, built between mountains and rivers, towering magnificent structures standing tall, each pyramid like a huge mountain.
This was the Lizardmen's city, the city's style inheriting that of the Troll Empire: huge and magnificent while incorporating the Lizardmen's traits, with rivers rushing between the pyramids, bridges connecting one pyramid to another.
There were no small individual buildings here, only collective pyramids.
Among them, two pyramids stood prominently, like two camel humps, huge and towering, with tops seemingly in the clouds; these were the Lizardmen's political pyramid and the Ancestral Temple.
They still lived collectively, with individual rooms inside each pyramid providing rest for ordinary Lizardmen.
The buildings were vast and sturdy, with rivers below the ground, the Lizardmen's most favored environment.
Although it was night, countless soaring torches illuminated the night sky of the Lizardman's main city; both Lizardmen civilians and players were shuttling among the buildings, crucially around the outer pyramids, continuously transporting war materials, endlessly day and night, clearly preparing for war.
The outskirts appeared like military fortresses, countless armies gathered, poised and ready for imminent battle.
Woo woo woo!
The desolate horn had sounded; the troops below frantically prepared, the instant the warship appeared, it was spotted and alarmed was issued.
Both the armies and Lizardman players realized who had arrived when they saw the warship shrouded by the light curtain in the sky.
Countless people were confused; wasn't Li Yao at the border fortress today? They'd competed today to complete this task for the chance to summon the Dragon God.
This task's reward was incredibly tempting on one hand, the key was to meet the Dragon God individually; if they could get a task from such a Demigod, they would be rich.
There was talk of a raid on the fortress to decimate the Dark Camp's main forces, summoning Ancestor Dragon God to destroy warships; yet suddenly, he appeared here instead.
At the same time, a heaven-reaching light pillar emerged, enveloping the political pyramid, several elderly Lizardmen with dragon heads slowly rising into the sky, indeed they bore dragon wings and were powerful world-class beings.
"What kind of audacious thing dares to invade the great Lizardman's main city, intent on provoking a racial war?" An ancient Lizardman roared angrily, his voice piercing the sky.
"Your ancestors eat shit behind me, still not kneeling for welcome." Li Yao was equally unyielding.
"Insolence!"
The elder hadn't finished his words when the massive figure of the Draconid Demigod abruptly appeared with the warship; not to mention his inherent powerful demigod demeanor, even the pressure from his bloodline, the Lizardmen didn't need to look to know it was their revered Ancestor and deity.
Hoo la la...
Countless Lizardmen knelt on the ground; even they seldom saw the Dragon God, now seeing it personally, how could they not be excited, witnessing many reverently kneeling on the ground.
The Black Dragon Queen sneered: "What a grand pomp, hehe, but too petty."
"Damn it, why kneel now, prepare for battle." Although the Draconid Demigod saw lives as trivial, he was cold and ruthless, he understood the Lizardmen here were his foundation for standing firm in the demigod realm.
The Draconid Demigod flashed, positioning himself in front of the warship, his enormous long spear transformed from stabbing to flinging, brutally striking the light shield, pushing the warship back several thousand yards.
Then came a dense, rain-like attack on the light shield.
"Air Force, respond to the enemy, the flying leaders follow me to assist the Ancestor in hunting the enemy, others hold firm."
The leading elderly Lizardman soared into the sky.
"He's walking right into the trap, maybe we don't need to destroy the warship, could capture him, increasing our combat strength massively."
The other eight world-class leaders nodded, rising into the sky, their eyes gleaming as they stared at the still-standing warship amidst the Ancestor's stormy attacks.
Being able to defend against Demigod attacks, how terrifying is this. They naturally didn't know, the reason behind enduring Demigod attacks was that Li Yao had no shortage of Energy Stones, otherwise no one could withstand such consumption. Withstanding Demigod attacks wasn't easy, what a powerful energy barrier it must be.
Secondly, the Blue Dragon Queen constructed the Magic Net, linking the world's Magic Net coverage, greatly increasing the barrier's strength, otherwise, even with countless Energy Stones, it couldn't be supplied.
On the ground, countless Pterosaurs took flight, with Lizardmen mounted, these were the Lizardmen's hardly-deployed ace air force troop, definitely serious actions.
Simultaneously, the world's top camps all received the news of a certain main city being attacked, suddenly countless spellcasters began casting their magic, displaying magic light curtains.
Several camps eagerly anticipated Li Yao's journey, expecting to witness miraculous events unfolding so soon.
The Dark Camp leaders gathered simultaneously, everyone convening in the council hall, when an image appeared.
"Your disciple's truly efficient, attacking the Lizardman's main city so quickly, and single-handedly, quite bold." The Minotaur Chieftain said with a smile.
The Dark Queen snorted coldly: "Reckless, being chased by a Demigod yet rushing to enemy territory."
"Should he have come to hover above our main city, for us to intervene, that'd result in heavy casualties." The Troll Chieftain sighed.
The Grand Chieftain laughed: "We'll just watch; do you see how few people are on the deck? The Frontier Marshal isn't reckless, surely there's a plan or reliance; let's watch how he stirs up the Lizardman's main city, occupying one, disciplining another, our prestige will be demonstrated."
Above the main city, Li Yao's eyes gleamed: "Black Robe, what's the effect of your Flame Magic?"...
