Chapter 340: Black Dragon City under Attack!

In the Black Dragon City, first lady Su Quan was having a very expensive tea in her yard . Maids and servants in bright-colored clothes were standing by her .

The yard was spacious . The tea table was made of redwood and looked very luxurious, big enough for ten people to sit around it .

But such occasions were scarce . The other ladies in the Black Dragon City knew her too well to disturb her .

She was from a big family of the Dragon Field, so she felt disdain deep in her heart for the local people . Although she covered it well, anyone could feel her arrogance and disdain when dealing with her .

Su Quan enjoyed the quiet a lot . These days, she was always beaming .

News had come from the Natural Law School saying that her son would complete his ordered seclusion soon . A successful son made his mother more respected . Soon enough, it wouldn't be just a dream for her to return to the Dragon Field .

It will be Third Grandpa's birthday soon . If I visit him with Haotian on his birthday… Hehe, I'm so curious to see the faces of those who looked down on me .

Su Quan put the tea cup down and walked out of the yard .

Her servants followed her, forming two lines behind her, with women in one line and men in the other . It was an impressive scene .

Su Quan came to a tall building where she could overlook the whole city .

In terms of the height of the city walls or the newness of the buildings in the city, the Black Dragon City was the most prosperous city in Xia Dynasty .

It was dusk . There were still many pedestrians on the streets .

Suddenly, Su Quan looked towards the square in the city center, where the landmark of the Black Dragon City was located .

It was a 100-yard-long black dragon made of black darksteel . It had taken more than ten famous sculptors a whole year to work on it .

Darksteel was known for its hardness, so obviously, it wasn't an easy thing to carve on, especially for a 100-yard-long dragon, but under the great investment of the Black Dragon City, the black dragon was made lifelike . Its scales were vivid, but the black dragon wasn't the key point . A giant man was raising one of his arms high . One of his feet was stepping on the back of the black dragon, his other hand grasping one of the dragon's claws . He was roaring .

The black dragon was whirling around him, roaring back at him .

A fight between a human and a dragon formed the complete sculpture .

The man was an ancestor of the Black Dragon City . The city wouldn't exist without him . Hundreds of years ago, he had subdued a black dragon and established the city .

Although after that there hadn't been a second man like him, and the city had become weaker each generation, the Black Dragon City was still a dominating force .

Looking at the man's statue, Su Quan thought to herself, My son will surpass him .

"Another stupid man trying to touch the statue," a maid suddenly said .

No man was allowed to approach the sculpture closer than 100 yards . Soldiers guarded it at the edge of the square .

A guy was running towards the sculpture like a crazy person, but the soldiers caught him soon .

"It's just a touch . What could go wrong?!"

He was another tourist who wanted to observe the sculpture closely .

Such incidents happened almost every day .

"Get away!" a soldier said impatiently .

"What are you proud of? It's just steel . Believe it or not, I'll destroy it," the man shouted again .

Su Quan saw the soldiers laughing, not taking him seriously . There were too many clowns like this .

Suddenly, a brilliant blue light overshadowed the evening glow and whooshed across the sky leaving a long trail .

Many people in the city saw it . They thought it was a shooting star .

"It's coming this way!" someone shouted in fear .

No matter what it was, judging from its speed, the Black Dragon City would suffer great damage if it fell on the city .

Some were calm, since the city was protected by a grand tactical formation .

However, as soon as the idea occurred to them, they heard a puff and the grand tactical formation of the Black Dragon City was cracked .

Under numerous fearful and shocked gazes, the blue energy ball flew towards the sculpture .

The whole process only lasted two or three seconds . No one in the Black Dragon City could do anything in such a short time .

They saw the blue cannon hitting the sculpture, and then the symbol of the city that had been standing there for hundreds of years exploded and disappeared . Its ruins spread everywhere . The darksteel tumbled onto the ground like stones, but only a small area was affected . The soldiers at the edge of the square kept stepping back, afraid .

Startled by the soldiers' irritated looks, the rogue who had been shouting felt sick . He said with a sour face, "I… I was joking . "

When the soldiers were about to take him down, unexpected drum beats came from the sky .

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The beats came one after one, giving everyone a headache and an ominous feeling .

"Gosh, what's that?!"

An abnormal scene was occurring in the empty sky, where flames coming out of nowhere were burning .

Then a fully-armored warship appeared with the flames .

That was where the drum beats were coming from .

All alarms in the Black Dragon City had stopped functioning . They hadn't warned people of anything .

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The muffling sound of the shooting of catapults came from towers all over the city .

Spear-like sharp bolts flew over, creating a tapered wind pressure .

"It's the Black Dragon City's Five Kilometer Bolts!"

Lots of non-natives recognized the bolts . They were all shocked and scared . Not until then did they realize how severe the situation was .

Pah!

When the Three Mile Bolts were 150 feet away from the warship, as if warded off by an invisible wall, they all fell .

"Impossible!" Su Quan exclaimed . She had always looked down on the Black Dragon City, but the towers in the city and the Three Mile Bolts were hers, built by her clansmen . They were called the Black Dragon City's most powerful defense .

Numerous arrow-like lights were aimed in all directions and shot towards every corner of the city .

Every hit of a target was followed by a thundering boom .

Soldiers turned pale . Energy storages all over the city were destroyed . This meant no tactical formations would work normally, and their defense had been broken down .

The Black Dragon City, thought to be the safest city in the Fire Field, had become a defenseless city which anyone could intrude in and attack .

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Annoying sounds came from the warship . Although no one knew what they were, the blue lights that had destroyed the sculpture were gathering again, and they were even brighter than they had been before .

Some people standing in high places far enough away noticed the blue lights came from a cannon on deck .

At that moment, the cannon was aimed at the Ning Mansion, the home of the lord of the Black Dragon City and the heart of the city .

The cannon boomed . The blue lights were shot at the Ning Mansion . However, the cannon seemed like it had been aimed too high . The cannonball flew across the sky over the Ning Mansion and hit a small mountain only accessible to the Nings .

Like the sculpture, the mountain collapsed . Rocks were tumbling everywhere .

It seemed like the end of the Black Dragon City had arrived .
