Chapter 645: Savings Transform into Power
"Tail!"
With a flash of blade slicing through the air, the tip of the red dragon's spur-laden tail was chopped off by Bud.
At this time, this red dragon no longer had the prestige of his strongest dragon, with crossbow arrows stuck all over his body, and his body was covered with countless wounds of all sizes.
The red dragon had a crossbow bolt stuck in one of his eyes, and his vision was affected by the eye, and his vision was only half of what it had been, and his wings were like tattered umbrellas, unable to support him to fly.
But despite all the injuries on his body, even the tail being cut off by an unattainable legend, the red dragon was still not dead, he held his head high and roared loudly, the roar of dragon power preventing the other warriors from approaching.
I have to say that earplugs, which usually look inconspicuous, have an unexpected effect when dealing with a giant beast like a dragon, at least the terrifying sound caused by the roar of the giant beast can no longer directly destroy the brains of warriors through the ears.
"Don't take it lightly, pay careful attention!"
"Victory is within reach, the more this time, the more cautious you must be!"
Bud said loudly, after the previous battle with the dragon, the equipment on their body has been updated to become more suitable for fighting the dragon, such as the earbuds they are using now, which is equipped with a magic that can make the commander's voice reach the ears of the warrior.
Although it is said that there is a tacit understanding of training together for a long time, even eye contact is enough for the soldiers below to complete the tasks assigned by the commander well, but in the event of special circumstances, it is extremely easy to have accidents.
As if at this time, following Bud's order, the heavy infantry stepped forward, half-crouched down, and erected a shield wall with their shields, while the caster applied magic such as [Fire Resistance], [Atmospheric Shield], and [Body Protector Skin] on the heavy infantry.
It's a group, legion-style battle, and everyone has their own task to complete, just like the heavy infantry is tasked with standing on the front line of the team, using their shields and their armored bodies to block attacks from the enemy.
Attacks on the enemy are carried out by the warriors who specialize in throwing javelins and firing crossbow arrows, the former can only do the role of harassment, and send javelins with chains to limit the dragon's movement as much as possible, increasing the chance of hitting the latter.
Inside are the caster and the commander, the caster who can use magic is basically a panacea in the army, when the dragon attacks, they will release the magic that increases the defense of the warrior, when the dragon is tied and restricted from moving, they will make the crossbow arrows sharper, making it easier for the crossbow arrows to hit the weak points in the dragon's body.
After obtaining the information of these dragons, the tactics developed by the Baltic Empire did play an extraordinary role, but the existence of these spellcasters made these plans and tactics play a two-hundred-percent role.
The gnolls and goblins had been defeated in the first wave of attacks, and the dragons had never been loyal to the dragons with fear.
It's not quite the right word to describe it as a defeat, because these gnolls and goblins had not been engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the Baltic Empire's armies, and they had just come into contact when they heard the screams of the red dragon being hit by a crossbow arrow.
This really scares these gnolls and goblins, when have they ever seen such a scene, these guys only live in their territory, and they don't even leave their tribe for 5 kilometers until they die.
In their world, the strongest is the dragon, and they even worship and believe in the dragon as a god, because their world is so small, it is a five-kilometer radius of their tribe.
So, because they worshipped the dragon as a god, their morale collapsed in an instant when the red dragon was badly injured and looked so miserable.
Their brains were blank, the weapons in their hands were still on the ground at random, the armor that hindered their movement was taken off as fast as they could, and they ran around in a panic, with no goal, not knowing where to go, just trying to get out of this place as quickly as possible.
The collapse of faith caused their hearts to crumble, and the gnolls and goblins left the battlefield as fast as they could, but looking at their godless eyes, many of them needed a long time to fill the void in their hearts.
The army of the Baltic Empire is still scratching its head, they have not seen such a before, they have not encountered such an enemy, they have just exchanged fire, and there are not a few casualties, and they collapse inexplicably.
However, it was better to collapse, and the warriors could fully focus on the red dragon, because of the caster and the trauma on the body, the speed of the red dragon has been decreasing, and the height has also decreased.
This made it easier for the warriors to get hits, and he didn't think about fighting back with the dragon's breath, but the terrifying heat of the flames never broke through the defenses built by the Baltic Empire's warriors.
"I won't let you pass. ”
"Your lives will be a treasure of gold. ”
Brother Black Dragon, you say a word, use all your strength to entangle your opponent, the cunning black dragon has seen through, they are now getting closer and closer to victory, and the rest can win as long as they kill all the accidents.
Compared to killing these two dragons, pestering them, stopping them, and preventing them from supporting the red dragon has become very simple, such a simple battle, a simple victory, and a simple loot are what every dragon pursues.
Because dragons have always been extreme hedonists, under greed, they still have incomparable laziness, when they can sleep, they will never choose to sit, when they can, they will not stand.
"Get out of the way, do you want to see the dragon fall into the hands of mortals?"
The dragon has fallen into the hands of mortals, and you can imagine what kind of scene it will cause if such news spreads, and there will be countless people who will pack their weapons, prepare their equipment, obtain information, and embark on the road to find the dragon for honor, for the dragon's treasure, or even just for the dragon.
Moreover, this is an absolute shame for the dragon, a shame for the entire strong clan that occupies the top of the food chain, and this shame will not disappear with time, because it will be recorded in words, books, pictures, and even the successful slaying of dragons by magic.
"So what?"
Yes, so what, dragons are such selfish creatures, they never pay much attention to things that have nothing to do with themselves, dragons are always individual individuals, they don't even deliberately form a family, let alone a race.
To be honest, the dragon is actually more concerned about their interests than the invisible and untouchable honor, and if they are given enough money and wealth, a little so-called honor is not impossible to sacrifice.
It was as if the day after the two black dragon brothers joined the Empire, the Barrel Empire signed an agreement that they would provide the Empire with a certain amount of fresh dragon blood each month, as well as lost teeth and scales in exchange for some gold, gems, and pearls to decorate their lair.
Honor can be eaten? It doesn't matter at all compared to the whole nest of jewels, which is glittering with all kinds of jewels.
Moreover, the honor is long gone, when the first dragon died at the hands of the army of the Baltic Empire, the news of this dragon slaying battle has begun to circulate in various taverns in the Northland, among which the promotion of the Baltic Empire occupies a large part, and few people can refuse the temptation of gold coins, because those things are so cute, it can bring people a life that can only appear in dreams.
The red dragon's terrible voice kept coming, and the severe pain all over his body made the dragon unbearable, he had already fallen to the ground at this time, and even gave up attacking with the dragon's breath, because the close-range spitting could not completely kill these warriors of all races from the Baltic Empire.
Among the hoplites that surrounded him, he saw humans, rhinoceros, gnolls, and even an elf with pointed ears.
People of all races cover each other, as if the thing of race has been completely broken at this moment, and they are left with the identity of a Baltic Empire warrior, and nothing else.
This is something that can never be seen in the Attila Empire, because before the Attila Empire, warriors of various races would prioritize their own race, consider their clan, and only then would they go to the Attila Empire.
Otherwise, why should the orcs resist, the centaurs and giants will not choose to rebel, and after the third western crusade, the centaurs will not completely abandon the Attila Empire together and choose to go south to join the Baltic Empire.
When survival is no longer a pressure, fairness and profit have become something that most people will pursue, and seeing this, the black dragon confirmed that compared to the Attila Empire, the Baltic Empire is an empire that can do it, fair and just.
The criteria and values of a person are definitely not based on race, even the weakest race has an aspect that he is good at, such as those who are weak in the sea and can only rely on numbers and terrible fertility to fight.
After many years of joining the Baltic Empire, their value was also exploited, and the sea area was thoroughly divided, and fisheries were cultivated and seagrass cultivated according to the nutrients of the waters, the exposure to sunlight, the distribution of sand and coral reefs.
If a person enters the Baltic Sea at this time, he will never imagine that this is actually a wild sea, in the coral reefs on the bottom of the sea, there are some artificial coral reefs, which are specially used to breed arthropods such as crabs, and above the corals is the central sea, where there are special fishmen to graze the fish.
The mighty sea beasts had either been hunted or tamed by merfolk and krakens to serve the Baltic Empire's navy, and close to the surface, beneath the unmelted ice, were rows of wooden buildings, which were specially used to breed pearls and other shellfish.
Not only the land territories of the Baltic Empire, but also the territories in the sea began to implement thorough industrialization and ranching, but because of the limitations of the sea, industrialization will take a long time, but with the help of the terrible population of the fishmen, ranching can be barely achieved.
"He's going to stand up, it's Dragon's Breath, the caster, preparing [Fire Thaumaturgy] and [Flame Shield]. ”
The red dragon stood on his feet, his face glowing with a glimmer of fire, and only halfway through his deep breath, Bud's order had already been delivered, and then the prepared warrior came to the red dragon's side.
"Be careful, he's going to flick his tail, the one in the back, don't resist hard. ”
Although the tip of the red dragon's tail had been cut off, the remaining ones were enough for the red dragon to complete the tail flick, but his movement had just begun, and the warriors behind him had already rolled out of his attack range.
This has happened many times, the attack method and attack habits have been thoroughly mastered, and under the familiar situation, the red dragon is completely unable to make an effective counterattack, and his every move is expected by Bud.
It was as if a transparent cage had locked him inside, and the cage was still compressing inside, making him keep shrinking his body, hoping to delay more time.
What about delaying more, five minutes, or ten minutes, when the red dragon would be successfully killed? The warriors didn't know the answer, they didn't have such a desire in their minds.
After a long period of training, these Baltic Empire warriors will empty their brains as long as they enter the combat state, and let their bodies be puppets at the mercy of the commander, to conscientiously carry out the orders given by the commander.
Because the policy of the Baltic Empire made it impossible for commanders to use their soldiers as disposable consumables, they had to prioritize the preservation of their forces before achieving results when giving orders.
Victory is what they need to consider, but before thinking about victory, they also need to think about how to win at the lowest cost, because the so-called killing a thousand enemies and losing a hundred themselves, in Alice's concept, is actually a relatively good-looking defeat that can be whitewashed.
The Baltic Empire never needs a good-looking defeat, nor does it need an ugly victory, the empire always needs only victory, and it is a brilliant victory, as the most powerful empire in the Northland now, he has enough capital to let his opponent, to force his opponent, to compete on a relatively fair battlefield, and then use absolute combat power to defeat the enemy.
