Divine Realm: Starting with the Broken Bone Dragon

"Luckily, it's attached to a gargoyle. Even if I can't beat it, I can still run away."

Lin Fan offered a few words of comfort and then moved to sit on top of Jiang Mengyao's head.

"Okay~"

Although Jiang Mengyao was somewhat worried, the thought that she possessed a boss-level bone dragon immediately dispelled most of her unease.

Hmm... thank goodness for Lin Fan, Lin Fan is really amazing.

As Jiang Mengyao was thinking, she was suddenly startled.

Jiang Mengyao, when did you become like this? You used to be eager not to talk to boys, but now you're secretly praising Lin Fan in your heart.

After thinking it over, Jiang Mengyao decided that she couldn't continue like this and that she had to make some changes.

"By the way, since you can't switch your consciousness anymore, leave the investigation to me."

Lin Fan spoke softly, and four fifth-tier magic spells condensed in front of him.

Jiang Mengyao: "Huh? Okay? Hehe..."

This damn sense of security...

Well, changes take time; you can't rush them.

Jiang Mengyao easily convinced herself.

"Fifth-Tier Magic - Shadow Orb (Enhanced Version)"

One hundred shadow orbs bounced out of the magic circle. They looked exactly the same as when they were at the third tier, except that they had two long tentacles on their heads to act as 'antennas' to prevent signal instability.

So, what is the price?

These fifth-order shadow spheres can no longer serve as "transfer stations" for Lin Fan's consciousness, just like third-order shadow spheres; they can only serve as base points.

But—

Magic circles appeared around Lin Fan one after another, and the powerful magic forced the surrounding air out of the wind, making a whooshing sound.

Once the magic dissipated, thousands of fifth-tier shadow orbs and hundreds of third-tier shadow orbs suddenly appeared in the air.

"With these shadow orbs, our 'eyes' won't be ruined. The only drawback is that those gargoyles that have gone far away need to come back."

As Lin Fan spoke, he instructed the numerous high-level gargoyles to set off again with the Shadow Orbs, serving as the new 'eyes' of the Skeleton Army.

As for the Three Musketeers, Lin Fan thought for a moment, then used his magic to condense a letter, informing them of the current situation, and had a third-tier shadow orb send it over.

As for the other demigods who are further away, as time goes by, everyone will venture deeper into the secret realm, and the probability of encountering them will increase considerably, so there is no need to worry.

With the Shadow Ball as their field of vision, the group's travel speed not only did not decrease, but actually increased significantly. In just one day, they encountered a new city. The lushness of the grasslands and the surrounding temperature had increased considerably.

The city is nearly ten times larger than before, and from a distance, it looks like an insurmountable chasm.

"Let's proceed with the attack on the city as planned!"

Using his mental powers, Lin Fan conveyed his plan to the orc beside him.

This orc was naturally not the one that Huo Zhengye possessed, but it was still perfectly capable of being used to transmit messages.

The orc hesitated for a moment before speaking, "God said, so it should be."

"Wow, they speak so elegantly, I want to speak like that from now on."

Jiang Mengyao's voice was deliberately deep.

"That's only natural—"

"Yes, that's only right."

Hearing the voice in his mind, Lin Fan chuckled softly.

Whose god is so adorable?

Oh--

It turned out to be his family's.

No, it should be:

—It's theirs.

Without thinking about it any further, Lin Fan resumed his usual serious demeanor.

—At least when facing the skeleton army, he was indeed serious and unsmiling.

He did not intend to send out skeleton archers or even skeleton mages in this operation.

To be honest, whether these two things have ordinary or excellent physical qualities, they have little impact on the destructive power caused by the explosion, completely wasting the value of these hellish beasts.

However, the difference between the gargoyle's average and excellent physical condition is a full two meters in height, which almost doubles its combat power.

Therefore, Lin Fan plans to deploy all the extraordinary and ordinary-level gargoyles for the siege, not many, just over 100 million.

Regarding potential casualties, Lin Fan stated: Deaths and injuries are inevitable.

Despite saying that, Lin Fan thoughtfully had some gargoyles fly into the sky with the skeleton mages. This not only allowed them to cast Bone Shield and Sharpness spells on the gargoyles participating in the battle, but also to inflict Weakness on these extraordinary hellish beasts at the start of the battle, minimizing potential casualties.

It is worth mentioning that after so many years of research, the weakening effect of the first extraordinary spell to be researched, Weakness, has now reached 20%. And based on the elite-level combat data provided by 'Numerical Jiang Mengyao' some time ago, the skeleton mages have deduced that the weakening effect for elite-level spells is 10%.

Not only is the effect reduced by half, but it also requires either Mage 1 or Mage 2 to personally intervene in order to achieve this level of weakening. The Weakening spells cast by other Skeleton Mages can only weaken the strength of elite-level enemies by 7%.

Of course, this spell had no effect on Lin Fan, which frustrated Magic 2 for a long time.

Lin Fan called this strategy against the enemy "Paratrooper No. 1".

During the time he was thinking, the gargoyle had already been buffed.

As soon as Lin Fan had a thought, Jiang Mengyao received the command and issued the divine decree, forming a perfect golden spiral.

Millions of gargoyles took to the air, sped up to the top of the city wall, and swooped down.

With the skeleton mage constantly providing "buffs" to the hellish beasts, the gargoyles faced the beasts' attacks with much less difficulty compared to the previous battle. It only took them a short time to gain a foothold on the city wall and begin a tug-of-war with the hellish beasts.

Compared to the Skeleton Army's two-pronged attack, the battle on the Three Musketeers' side was undoubtedly much bloodier.

Without flying units, they only have two ways to attack a city: first, to build siege towers to break through the gates; second, to use ladders to climb the city walls and fight.

Regardless of the type, both require one raw material—wood.

The key issue is that there's absolutely no wood on this grassland!

Even if they did, siege weapons made of wood would be burned to ashes by these hellish beasts.

Left with no other choice, they had to continue using the experience from their previous siege—digging into the city walls and breaking into the city gates.

These walls, made of rocks and mud, were not very sturdy to begin with. As long as one corner was breached, the main force could easily enter the city and launch an attack. However, it would take some time and result in some casualties. But with the protection of the armored centipede, the casualties could be reduced considerably.

As for asking Lin Fan for help, the three of them had considered it, but the purpose of attacking the city was originally to provide food for their respective families. Moreover, Lin Fan had already attacked two city walls on his own, so the three of them were too embarrassed to ask again. So they led their respective families to begin attacking the city.

Seeing the tragic scene of the clans attacking the city, the same thought arose in the minds of the three.

After leaving the secret realm, be sure to raise some flying companions!
