Chapter 172: Diverting the Dragon
"I'm going to tell you one more now, our enemy, and another.
Moreover, this enemy is very strong.
He's a dragon. ”
As soon as Cross's phantom words fell, everyone was surprised.
"Dragon!?"
"If the enemy is a dragon, then we have no chance of winning!"
"We didn't have much chance of winning against that lich just now. ”
......
Panic once again spread throughout the squad.
Although the members of the team knew about Cross's great strength, and they also believed that Cross was sure of defeating the dragon, they were too far behind.
Once hit by a dragon, it is a fracture or even a direct death.
These people's impressions of dragons are so terrifying.
However, they did not dare to speak out of their fears, for their lord was clearly ready to fight the dragon.
And Cresia, who is a dragon in the team, naturally does not have a fear of dragons.
However, she had an association with the identity of the dragon, and she wondered why the dragon was in this place.
......
The gossip was interrupted by Cross's vision, "Quiet! From now on, everyone should keep an eye on the sky, and report any dragons as soon as they find them." ”
When the team saw that the lord had made up his mind to slay the dragon, they stopped talking.
......
Circle formation, pay attention to the night sky, this is all Kloss and Serena explained in advance.
Cross had no experience fighting dragons in dragon form, but he had learned a lot about how to deal with dragons in dragon form at the Military Academy.
The most direct, and the oldest, of these is to shoot with a bow and arrow.
Of course, arrows are not lethal to a strong dragon.
But the sheer number of arrows can attract the dragon's attention.
Cross didn't ask the team to do this in the hope that they would shoot the dragon if they spotted it.
Rather, it was hoped that the team would be able to attract the attention of the dragon.
This circular position was also improvised by Cross.
This position is actually a protection for everyone.
Because, in Cross's opinion, the dragon's primary target is him. Then the illusion of Cross, standing in the center of the circle, will definitely be the dragon's primary target.
This is the protection of others.
When the dragon is attracted by Cross's vision, the others can shoot with bows and arrows.
As for the one who really wants to kill the dragon, it is Cross's own body.
On his back is a spear that he throws with all his might when the dragon appears in his field of vision.
Cross's spear is much more powerful than a bow and arrow.
Attacking the dragon with a spear was also Cross's last resort.
After all, Copperhill doesn't have a dedicated dragon hunting weapon.
Also, Cross is not good at using bows and arrows, and on the other hand, he is more confident and accurate at throwing weapons.
Once Cross's spear stabbed the dragon, the dragon would most likely flee and the dragon's threat would be lifted.
......
Cross ran some distance and then burrowed back into the nearby woods, then followed the woods back to where he had been crouching.
He didn't know when the dragon would show up, or when it would attack, but he had to get the dragon's attention here.
The dragon was not a wizard, he was not an opponent he could easily kill with the power of the bloodline, he didn't think about killing the dragon, but he definitely couldn't watch the dragon destroy Copper Mountain Town.
Protecting the town of Copperhill is the real reason why Cross has the entire team on standby in this place.
He didn't want Copperhill to become a battlefield.
In the event that Copperhill becomes a battlefield, even if the dragon is repelled in the end, Copperhill will be hit hard.
This is something that Cross absolutely does not want to see.
However, it didn't take long for the members of the squad to feel tired, and it was really easy to get tired all the time looking up at the sky.
The first to slack off was Werewolf Watson.
"Whew...... I'm so tired, I looked up for so long, my neck was sore, and I didn't even see the shadow of a dragon. Watson twisted his neck, "Hey, Cross, you're not going to lie to us, there's a dragon out there." ”
Cross's visions ignored Watson, and no one in the entire squad dared to pay attention to Watson.
However, Watson's words were right, everyone was tired after staring at the sky for so long.
Moreover, no one spoke, which really made people panic.
"Which one do you think is better than the guy who killed the enemy in seconds or our Lord Cross?" said Watson.
He thought that no one would pay attention to him this time, but Nia suddenly spoke.
"Both of them are just as strong. ”
Watson was stunned for a moment and then smiled, "Hahaha, you said that because our lord is here, I think that the man in the cloak is stronger." ”
In order to ease the embarrassing scene, Watson let out a wild laugh after saying that.
However, this time someone replied again, and this person was none other than the illusion of Cross standing in the center.
"That guy is better than me. ”
There was silence for a while, they didn't expect Cross to say such a thing.
Indeed, most of them share Watson's opinion that they all feel that Cross is inferior to the man who killed the wizard.
It's just that they don't dare to say it.
After a moment, Watson laughed again, "Hahaha, Cross, you can admit that he is better than you."
I didn't even see the man kill the wizard at all.
His speed and explosiveness should be above you, Cross Klein. ”
"No, Lord Cross has that speed. ”
Watson looked in the direction of the voice, and it was Cressia who spoke.
"Did you see the man kill the wizard just now?"
"No, but I haven't seen Cross move clearly. Cressia replied, remembering the battle at Dragon's Landing very well.
"Hahaha......" Watson laughed, only, this time, he didn't speak again.
He originally wanted to say to Cressia, why can't you even see Cross's movements clearly?, but then after thinking about it, forget it, after all, Cross himself is here. It's obviously not good to taunt Cross all the time.
After the laughter, the team fell silent again. They continued to look at the sky with their naked eyes.
......
At this time, Xatis had just flown to an altitude of 10,000 meters.
When he began to observe the dynamics on the ground, he was completely frozen.
Eddard's body was gone, and there was a circle of people around Eddard the Lich, and Cross Klein was right in the middle of the crowd.
