Ace Dragon Rider
Chapter 652 - 521: The Deterrent Power of Missiles
Joining the Black Dragon Empire out of the blue is bound to raise suspicions. The best strategy at this moment would be to adopt a wait-and-see attitude since any hasty choice could lead to mistakes.
Therefore, the Fertile Plains Federation moved slightly into a phase of political cool-down with the White Dragon Empire without halting their ongoing collaboration on agricultural machinery.
As the war progressed, the White Dragon Empire showed a surprising dominance over the Black Dragon Empire, seemingly not acknowledging them as a threat at all! This lasted up to the point where an intercontinental beetle missile landed in the imperial city of the Black Dragon Empire, reducing its imperial palace to ruins!
At this moment, who dares say that the White Dragon Empire is bound to lose?
The Fertile Plains Federation Council recognized now how wise it was not to sever ties with the White Dragon Empire back then. Life under the constant threat of missiles was not pleasant at all.
An envoy was quickly dispatched, indirectly expressing condemnation of the Black Dragon Empire while also increasing the scale of grain exports once again.
The Fertile Plains Federation had a bumper harvest, and the grains produced due to mechanized farming had significantly improved. The White Dragon Empire became the most generous among many empires in the world, especially when the Fertile Plains Federation owed a substantial machinery usage fee to the White Dragon Empire.
Consequently, the war reserves of the White Dragon Empire were filled to an unprecedented level.
Intercontinental missiles!
They were simply amazing!
Effectively destroying the imperial palace of the Black Dragon Empire took a huge weight off Long Yiโs shoulders. Even though Yake Black was not killed, there wasnโt much of a difference now.
Long Yi excitedly continued to manufacture new missiles. A mutated insect nest was honored as a deity and looked after by two people in the biological research institute, ensuring its needs were met for optimal health. Long Yi used the power of the Giant to infuse dragon power into each missile and transform it into mana, while an Avatar of Little Zi was responsible for engraving the Array in the brain of the beetle. ๐๐ซ๐๐ฒ๐จ๐๐๐๐๐ฏ๐๐น.๐๐จ๐บ
As the missile reserve gradually increased, Long Yi began to envision more tactics in his mind. However, he simply suggested these tactics to the War Committee and let them decide how to use the missiles.
He had at least one rule, using these missiles in frontal assaults was inappropriate. The best method would be to bombard the enemyโs rear during a frontal confrontation.
Weapon factories! Warehouses! Barracks! Explode them all!
According to the information possessed by the White Dragon Empire, the factories responsible for manufacturing Undead in the Black Dragon Empire were hidden in different towns within the empire. Some factories were buried underground, while others were on the ground. Hence, massive beetle missiles fell from the sky and shattered those factories into pieces.
The power of these beetle missiles was tremendous. Using three missiles against a large factory was extravagant, but it was enough to tear apart a large-scale factory.
Beetle missiles, due to their intelligence, were very accurate in bombarding their targets. After several successive bombings, almost half of the Undead factories in the Black Dragon Empire were put out of commission.
The next moment, the Crystal Beast farms of the Green Dragon Empire hidden in the forests were also bombed. These Crystal Beasts were powerful, but they were insignificant in front of the beetle missiles. The unprecedented power turned the Crystal Beasts and their Black Dragon Empire scientists into fragments.
Yake was confused. The locations of the farms in the Green Dragon Empire were kept highly secret, some places being known only to the Green Dragon Emperor. How could they also be attacked?
However, Yake didnโt have time to think about all this. Apparently, the White Dragon Empire... no, it must have been Long Yi! He had started unleashing a disproportionate firepower on the Black Dragon Empire, targeting their most crucial military facilities!
Obviously, there were spies embedded within the Black Dragon Empire, or else their military positions wouldnโt be exposed so accurately.
So Yake began to purge the internal ranks. Regardless of whether they were spies or not, anyone even slightly suspicious would be killed immediately. Simultaneously, Dark Cloud Toads were distributed to all key facilities for defense.
The Dark Cloud Toad first proved its worth at a weapons factory.
This place specialized in manufacturing armor for large Crystal Beasts. The large Crystal Beasts were quite formidable, and the armor further boosted their defenses.
Under the hot sun, the grounds below the factory were covered in gray mist. A huge toad was squatting on top of the factory, and in the air, a swarm of dark beetles assembled, producing a harsh clicking sound.
The townsfolk had long since evacuated because everyone knew that any military facility would be a target for the White Dragon Empire. The town was empty, leaving only the echoing sound of the beetles.
Then, just like a scripted event, the missiles descended straight down.
The beetles in the sky immediately spotted the missiles. They rushed towards them at high speed. Some beetles were immediately torn to shreds by the gales of the Array, but their numbers were overwhelming and they managed to block the front end of the Array. The missile was already fast enough and didnโt need to accelerate anymore. However, the beetles chewed even faster!
