CHAPTER 690: CHAPTER 419: QUEEN’S WILL

After learning the secret of the Bone Sovereign’s true form, Queen Orelana wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, stood up again, and searched the skeleton of the Hell Demon Dragon with her gaze.

During the battle, she had already discovered that the combat power of this Hell Demon Dragon skeleton far exceeded that of other Bone Dragons.

In the state of the Elf King’s magic blessing, she possessed nearly demigod-level combat power, yet she was not an opponent of this Hell Demon Dragon.

There was only one possibility; this Hell Demon Dragon was a demigod-level existence.

In other words, the Bone Sovereign’s true form must have been previously on the Hell Demon Dragon’s skeleton.

However, her gaze searched around, looking at every part of the Hell Demon Dragon skeleton, but she did not find anything resembling a skull.

Roar!

The Hell Demon Dragon roared again, its roar piercing the sky, sweeping up the dark clouds and forming a vortex-shaped funnel cloud in the firmament.

Frenzied lightning burst within the funnel cloud, unleashing the might of ten thousand bolts of thunder upon Kolos City.

On the ground, on the city walls, in the Magic River, thunder and lightning raged everywhere.

One by one, Elf clan warriors were struck by the thunder, groaning and falling to the ground, some rolling on the ground to avoid the lightning’s onslaught.

In an instant, Kolos City seemed to fall into a thunderous catastrophe.

The earth shattered, city walls collapsed, and thunder raged through the Magic River.

The Mana Floating Dragons inhabiting the Magic River were struck by the thunder and perished, their numerous bodies floating on the river’s surface, a most tragic sight.

Not only the Mana Floating Dragons, but also many Elf warriors fell under the thunder’s assault.

Even the Arcane Masters found it difficult to withstand this demigod-level thunderous might.

Queen Orelana witnessed this tragic scene, her eyes bloodshot, shouted loudly, stomped the ground with her right foot, soared into the air once more, and summoned the last of her magic energy within to resist the thunder falling from the heavens.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Tens of thousands of bolts of thunder struck the magic barrier deployed by Queen Orelana, shaking her body continuously.

She clenched her teeth, forcibly swallowed the blood trickling from the corners of her mouth back down, and used all her strength to resist the thunder’s might.

Roar!

The Hell Demon Dragon swooped down, swung its claw, and swatted Queen Orelana away.

Bam!

Queen Orelana was sent flying in a straight line, crashing into an arrow tower.

The five Elf archers on the arrow tower fell to the ground and, ignoring their own injuries, rushed to the collapsed arrow tower, digging at the rubble with their hands, searching for their queen.

"Quickly! Rescue the Queen!"

A hand pushed aside the rubble, and Queen Orelana crawled out from the ruins, her armor shattered and torn, her body covered in dust, devoid of her usual queenly elegance and nobility.

Yet at this moment, she gained higher respect from the Elf clan; squadrons of Elf warriors, protecting their home, abandoned their usual elegance and poise, fought bloodily, using all their strength to keep the Skeleton Army outside the city walls.

Queen Orelana wiped away the bloody mud mixed with blood and dust from her face, barely holding up her faltering body, once again standing before the Hell Demon Dragon.

Eldis, the elder of the Arcane Council, seeing such a tragic battle scene, foresaw that Kolos City could not be defended.

Moreover, their queen was already gravely injured; continuing to fight on would lead to the destruction of the entire Elf clan.

Eldis approached Queen Orelana, advising with a sorrowful voice: "Your Highness, continuing to hold our ground will only lead to more deaths and injuries. Perhaps it’s time to abandon Kolos City. We can retreat to Moon God Lake, return to the birthplace of the Quel’dorei, back to the Moon God, for that is our true home."

Within the upper echelons of the Elf Council, the plan for Kolos City’s fall had indeed been discussed.

For the ruling class, preparations must be made for any eventuality.

Once Kolos City fell, the Elf clan had only one path, and that was to retreat to Moon God Lake.

Moon God Lake is the birthplace of the Quel’dorei Elves, the closest place to the Moon God, and the spiritual home of the Elf clan.

Currently, numerous sections of Kolos City’s walls were destroyed, and the Skeleton Army surged into the city like a tide.

Although Kolos City wasn’t entirely lost yet, the situation was dire, and continuing to hold out would only lead to greater casualties.

Queen Orelana was well aware of this, and she had considered abandoning the city, even though it was her most cherished home in her heart, but for her people, she was willing to let go.

The reason she still persisted was that there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart.

Terres was on his way back, and Lu Heng was also on his way.

She did not want the returning brave warriors to find a fallen city upon their return.

Even if it meant defeat, she wanted to hold out until they returned.

She pointed to the most severely collapsed section of the city wall, saying, "Eldis Elder, I’ll leave that section of the city wall to you. Lead your Arcane Masters, seal off the breach, and hold out for two more hours; we still have hope."

Eldis indeed wished to persuade the queen to abandon the city, but once the order was given, he executed it without hesitation.

He led his Arcane Masters to the section of the wall in the southwest that had collapsed the most severely, collectively casting spells, using magic power to lift the pre-prepared giant stones into the breach in the collapsed wall.

Bam!

One giant stone.

Bam!

Two giant stones.

Bam bam bam...

A dozen giant stones fell, sealing the twenty-meter breach, cutting off the undead skeletons surging into the city.

The preparations made before the battle proved to be effective.

The city was stocked with a large quantity of materials to repair the walls, as well as defenses to block the Skeleton Army.
