Chapter 40 - Chapter 40: The Final Assault

Lu Ming, in his towering 50-meter dragon form, stood above his army, gazing at the elven and dwarven fortress in the distance. The towering carved stone walls, reinforced with ancient magic, stood as a challenge before him. He knew that this battle would be crucial, and his determination burned like an unquenchable fire. The strategy was clear: split his army into three groups to maximize the impact of the attack and secure victory.

"Super Draconic Soldiers, forward!" Lu Ming roared in a voice that rang like thunder. The **Vanguard Group**, led by the draconian general **Skarr**, charged towards the fortress with astonishing speed and ferocity. The Super Draconic Soldiers, with their gleaming armor and lethal weapons, advanced like an unstoppable tidal wave. The elven archers' arrows rained down upon them, but barely managed to scratch their hardened scales.

Skarr, in his dragon form, breathed fire that melted the stone and opened a breach in the wall. With a war cry, the Draconic Super Soldiers rushed through the opening, engaging the elven and dwarven warriors in brutal hand-to-hand combat. The clash of swords and shields, the roars of dragons, and the screams of the wounded filled the air. Skarr's group, using their superior strength, began to cut through the enemy ranks, pushing towards the main gates of the fortress.

At the same time, the **Magic Attack Group** carefully advanced. The **Draconic Priest**, **Eternal Shadow**, led the group, summoning a magic shield that repelled the magical attacks of the elven sorcerers. Beside him, the other draconic priests cast powerful dark spells, disabling the magical traps hidden in the terrain and dispelling the protective runes etched into the walls.

Suddenly, a burst of magical energy lit up the battlefield as **Eternal Shadow** engaged the leader of the elven sorcerers in an arcane duel. Fireballs and bolts of dark light streaked through the air, colliding and exploding in a storm of pure energy. Finally, **Eternal Shadow** channeled all of his power into a single devastating spell, disintegrating the fortress's most powerful shield in a blinding burst of light. With the barrier down, the **Magic Strike Group** quickly moved to join the vanguard.

On the left flank, the **Flanking Group**, led by the fearsome abyssal dragon, faced unexpected aerial resistance. Dragons enslaved by the elves, chained and forced to fight, flew towards them with claws outstretched and fire in their mouths. The abyssal dragon, with a roar that shook the earth, soared into the sky and met its enemies in a fierce aerial battle. With its overwhelming size and strength, it crushed the enemy dragons, tearing them apart with its powerful jaws and burning them with its fiery breath.

As the battle raged on, Lu Ming's forces began to gain ground. The draconic soldiers, strengthened by their enhancements and the relentless leadership of their generals, pushed into the fortress, routing the elven and dwarven warriors in a tide of destruction. But just as victory seemed certain, the fortress's gates burst open, and an army of stone golems emerged.

The golems were enormous, their bodies formed from solid rock and engraved with runes that glowed with ancient magic. With thunderous steps, they advanced towards the draconic soldiers, swinging their stone arms with devastating force. A single blow from their fists was enough to send the soldiers flying through the air. The golems' raw strength rivaled that of the Super Draconic Soldiers, and for the first time in the battle, Lu Ming's troops were facing resistance that threatened to halt their advance.

From his position in the air, Lu Ming saw the danger and decided to personally intervene. With a deafening roar, he swooped down towards the battlefield, landing with a rumble that shook the earth. With a swift movement, he launched himself at the leader of the golems, a stone titan imbued with a dwarven soul. The titan raised its massive arm to strike, but Lu Ming, with the agility of a dragon and the strength of a god, dodged it and counterattacked with a powerful strike of his tail.

The battle between Lu Ming and the golem titan was fierce. The two exchanged devastating blows, each trying to outdo the other in strength and skill. The titan struck Lu Ming with a stone fist, sending him crashing into the walls, but the dragon quickly recovered, launching itself into the attack again. Using both his fire breath and physical power, Lu Ming finally managed to break through the golem's outer shell, revealing the magical core within.its interior.

With a final roar, Lu Ming directed a concentrated blast of fire towards the golem's core. The magic dissipated in a flash of light, and the titan collapsed into a pile of inert rubble. With the golem leader's fall, the other golems began to falter, and the Draconic Super Soldiers took the opportunity to destroy them one by one.

The battle was far from over, but the destruction of the golems marked a crucial turning point. With the fortress's most formidable defenses defeated, Lu Ming ordered his troops to advance with all their might, determined to capture the fortress and end the elves' and dwarves' resistance once and for all.

**[System Notification: The golem leader has been defeated. +5000 gold coins.]**

Lu Ming smiled as he saw the notification. Despite the challenges, victory was within reach. But he knew better than to underestimate his enemies. With his army now inside the fortress, the true final assault was about to begin.

**End of Chapter 38.**
