Slowly leading the troops to climb up the halfway point of the volcano, the scenery in front of Yang Yu changed from lush forest to sparse bushes.
Soon after, the bushes also disappeared, leaving only some low vegetation. Finally, all that was left in Yang Yu's sight were rubble of various colors, and the area had completely turned into a wasteland.
Given the special nature of Blazing City, the defensive fortifications once built by the Blazing Clan were also very different from those of ordinary cities.
Except for regular grazing and going out for a few reasons, the Fire Clan rarely leaves the city where they live.
They would pile stones at the entrance of the cave so that it blends in seamlessly with the barren, rubble-covered area.
If someone came here for the first time, they would have no idea where the entrance to the Blazing Clan's city was hidden among these piles of rubble.
The Blazing Tribe would use volcanic rocks that matched their abilities, like burrowing spiders, to create invisible magical networks around the cave entrances.
As long as a large creature steps into the magic network, the Fire Clan guarding the cave entrance will sense it immediately.
If those large creatures are judged as enemies, the warriors of the Fire Tribe will use their abilities to induce the rocks blocking the cave entrance to explode, causing the hot rocks to splash out and burn the surrounding enemies.
At the same time, they will ignite the magic power on the ground, creating a large sea of fire on the hillside, making it difficult for the enemy to escape.
This is partly why the middle of a volcano is so bare.
If the enemy is very fierce and has crossed the vast sea of fire, the narrow passage leading to the Blazing City is also extremely suitable for the use of fire magic.
The rules set by the dragon protect those who explicitly participate in this battlefield.
The Blazing Fire Clan had no intention of participating in the war at first. They were a relatively independent race without any organization.
Therefore, they do not have to be bound by the rules of dragons and can use large-scale fire magic to defend and counterattack and resist invasion.
Even so, the Rose Empire still captured their city.
This forced the peaceful Chihuo Clan to seek refuge with the Wansheng Kingdom and seek for an organization.
The people of the Blazing Fire Tribe had no idea how humans knew the exact location of each cave entrance, or how they broke through the Blazing Fire Tribe's defenses.
Many warriors of the Blazing Fire Clan who were guarding the cave entrance were captured by the Rose Empire and their whereabouts are unknown.
There is a high possibility that the Rose Empire still has secret weapons that the orcs are unaware of.
Yang Yu and Dong Mu quickly worked out a battle plan. They first sent out troops to launch a tentative attack on the cave entrance identified by the Chihuo Clan, and then made countermeasures based on the situation.
Soon, the first exploratory attack force was assembled.
Since there were sharp stones underfoot, this tentative attack force was mainly composed of agile hunter-shaped orcs.
They used their agility to approach the cave entrance in one breath.
Suddenly, Bai Jin felt a large amount of magic power gathering at the entrance of the cave.
Magic circles were formed without any warning in front of several piles of rubble, and countless fire magics swept towards the vanguard of Wansheng Kingdom.
Bai Jin and other orc magicians hurriedly chanted magic to cover the orc troops together.
In an instant, several different kinds of powerful magic collided with each other on the hillside, tremendous energy poured out, and triggered powerful explosions on the mountainside again and again.
Along with roars, countless stones were lifted up by powerful magic and transformed into powerful black bullets, which bombarded the bodies of the orc vanguard.
Blood splattered on the black stones, and several orc soldiers died.
The orc magicians quickly transformed their magic and no longer fired magic to counterattack. Instead, they used defensive magic to cover the retreat of the vanguard.
Dongmu frowned as the vanguard suffered such a swift and precise blow.
Although humans did not have the orcs' excellent hearing and sense of smell, they could sense their approach through the rubble and launched such an attack on them.
How did they detect our approach
Could it be that humans have set up a small surveillance magic among the rubble, constantly monitoring the situation on the hillside so that they could attack at the first opportunity
Or, can they, like the Blazing Clan, spread their magic power around the cave entrance without anyone noticing, and through the vibrations of magic, find out the direction of the orc troops' movements
Dongmu didn't dare to jump to conclusion.
After the vanguard troops completely withdrew, Dongmu immediately ordered the magicians and archers to launch a long-range attack towards the cave entrance. However, their attacks were completely blocked by a light blue light shield that unfolded from the cave entrance.
It's a barrier.
Long after occupying the Qinghe Volcano, the Rose Empire installed barriers at every entrance.
Looking at the unbreakable light blue barrier that blocked the orcs' attacks again and again, Yang Yu knew that this would be another tough battle.
When attacking the cities around the Qinghe Volcano, Yang Yu discovered that the supplies in some cities were surprisingly scarce and could not support long-term combat at all.
However, under Yang Yu's guerrilla tactics and the strategy of surrounding the cities from the countryside, those cities did not show obvious shortage of supplies.
After careful investigation, Yang Yu basically found a small teleportation device in every city.
Those teleportation devices were only the size of boxes, so it was difficult to use them to teleport people, but it was easy to use them to teleport magic scrolls that stored items.
There are several specialists in charge of the transmission device. If they see that the situation is not good, they will take the initiative to shut down the transmission device.
After receiving this news, the city storing supplies will not distribute supplies to the magic device.
Once, Yang Yu tried to sneak in and take away the transmission device when the soldiers were not paying attention, intending to take the enemy's supplies for free.
However, Yang Yu did not expect that in order to exchange supplies, he must use the crystal ball to match the password that is regularly switched by the Rose Empire.
From Bai Jin, Yang Yu learned that the magicians who used this small teleportation device mainly used one-way transmission, and several similar small teleportation devices could not be interconnected.
In order to deliver supplies to the army on time, a more complete and powerful transmission device is needed.
There is no need to say where this device is.
Even if the teleportation device set up in Blazing City cannot completely cover the area around Qinghe Volcano, it is enough to cover most of it.
In addition, Yang Yu also learned from Bai Jin that if the large-scale teleportation device is completed, it can not only teleport objects but also people.
As long as they use teleportation magic near the teleportation device, or directly build another teleportation device within the range, the Rose Empire can easily deploy soldiers to the vicinity of the Qinghe Volcano.
As long as the Fiery Clan's Fiery City is not captured, the Rose Empire still has the opportunity to make a big fuss about celebrating the volcano.
Such an important location is naturally heavily guarded.
The city has no walls, but this siege may be the most difficult ever.
The blazing city was under a pile of rocks, and no one could tell what strange things were waiting for them under the rocks.
Is it a poisonous snake or an ant
