A defense battle was different from an offensive one. It was much safer as well. Blake first wanted to thin the herd a bit before retreating. He thought with their new weapons, that they could be more offensive in this war. Because even if a defensive position was safer, it was not one hundred percent guaranteed. From the war with orcs, he knew how numbers could overwhelm even bullets and magic.
But this time, things were different; he was much more prepared. "Lite the runes!"
Fairies, elves, and pixies began injecting mana into the runic inscriptions on the side of large stones embedded into the walls of earth. The runes began to light up and grew brighter and brighter until suddenly shooting out large waves of condensed mana over the incoming dragons and dragonic.
*Boom!!!!!!*
General Uo, who was watching everything, frowned. He could see the dragons dying in masses to some strange magic runes. "I really did not want my men going all out because my pride was holding me back, but now is the time. Second wave! All out attack!"
"General Look!" A soldier yelled out.
General Uo looked up into the sky to see a mass of dragon bodies falling from the sky. "What!? Damnit! Scatter, get out of the way!" General Uo roared as he saw the bodies landing on his own men and the dragons. "Fuck! Everyone, true forms! We will teach these bastards what it means to mess with us, dragonic!"
*ROOOOOOOOOOOARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!*
Loud roars filled the skies once more as the dragonic began to transform. Some were smaller than the others, but none could match up to Lillia's size. Blake saw the dragonic all transforming and kinda felt proud of himself. He had actually forced dragonic to use their true forms! "Since you want to go all out, I guess I can too. Everyone, clean up the dragons. All dragonic transform and put your markers on! We will now show them the true strength of our Destiny City!"
"Lord, you can do it!" Someone screamed out as the cheers began to drown out the roars of the dragonic. Blake did not waste time as he cut his wrist and began his blood transformation.
Up in the air, Clance had already transformed and was three times the size of the general from the dragonic side. She looked at her clan's men who were on her side and yelled out: "Let's show them we are part of DestinY City and show them the dragonic of Destiny City are not weak at all!"
"Roooooooooooaaaaaaaaaar!"
Dragonic versus dragonic, the air had once more become a war zone. Fire dragons on the ground flew into the sky to support while drones, fairies, and pixies also joined in the action in the air. The ground area was doing much better with the stress of the dragonic being taken off them. The new weapons and the runic inscriptions were mowing down the enemy left and right.
Blake came out of his bloody shell and flew into the sky. He looked for the biggest dragon and shot forward. He would take the leader out first! Sadly the only thing about air battles was magic attacks that missed would rain down on those below. So even if they were not part of the fight in the air. Bret and the other soldiers had to dodge attacks, and not everyone was lucky to get out of the way.
Huge losses were happening on all sides as the battle reached its peak. But as things started to grow hard, a voice came from the rear. "Noa Harris here to help! All elves are to block attacks and give air support from the ground! Do not let a single magic attack drop on our heads! All Flying races to the skies! All ground troops to the front line!"
"Yes, Princess!" A loud roar came from the thousands of elves, and other rances rushed forward. Who began rushing forward and taking up positions. Barriers began to form in the air blocking incoming attacks.
Dragons were fighting dragons. Dragonic against dragonic. A combined effort of many races together were all allied together to fight once more against the dragonic. It was as if this battle had become a reenactment of the war of the past.
Noa looked at this scene and saw many people she knew dead on the ground and couldn't help but tear up. She hated war. She hated it so much. But she knew to end war, things had to change. This was why she asked Blake a question earlier when she told him about the elves. To keep them from continuing to attack Destiny City since she knew her brother would never give up and that there was only one option, to take down the elf clan altogether.
Explosions filled the air, and at the base entrance, Lillia stuck her head out to look out over the battlefield. She had heard what was going on and knew how things were progressing, but she still worried. They were already suffering huge losses if an elder dragonic showed up. Things would not be good. They could lose half their forces in a single attack.
She watched as Blake fought huge dragons hundreds of times bigger than himself. She watched as everyone was fighting for Destiny City and protecting the home. She watched as many were dying. She wanted to go out there so badly, but she knew she couldn't.
*Crunch!*
The door frame to the base cracked under her grip, and blood dripped from her lip as she bit into it. She was holding herself back from going out there and ending it all once and for all. "Mama!"
Lillia froze as she turned to see Destiny standing there with a worried look on her face. Lillia quickly scooped her up and walked back into the base. "You can not be out here. Mama will play some games with you."
Destiny pursed her lips as was dragged away from the door. But when she saw the blood dripping from her mother's mouth, she did not struggle; she reached up and carefully wiped her Mama's lip for her. This one simple action made the tears Lillia was holding back flood out as she slumped to the ground, hugging Destiny. "Destiny, Mama, is useless!"
