Chapter 640: Battle of the Dragon Slayer (6)
Dragons are also capable of magic, and in addition to the magic they are born with, they can also learn magic, which means that these dragons who can compete with giants in terms of strength can also perform magic.
Only the caster can deal with the caster, this is a word that has been circulated in this land, and this sentence is recognized by many people.
The intelligence forces of the Baltic Empire are indeed very powerful, even if those dragons have released their magic, they have still found clues, but one of the huge loopholes, they have not found.
The intelligence forces only found traces of the dragon, thinking that they were hiding in some hidden place, but they did not find that the dragon was hidden by magic, and there were other dragons hidden.
Originally, the strength was inferior to the dragon, and now the enemy is in the shadows, and the intelligence is completely unequal, and such an asymmetry will make the situation completely tilted towards the side of defeat, and it is extremely difficult to recover.
An hour later, the carefully guarded caster returned to the camp and reported to Bud what they had found, and as the scout had said before, the dragon's nest was completely empty.
Their information is actually not wrong, and the traces they have seriously found are also true, this dragon's nest has indeed not been inhabited by dragons for a long time, and the black dragon has moved after the last victory, leaving this nest empty.
The black dragon knew that his victory was only a phased victory, the beginning of the next battle, he was unwilling to leave this land completely, and he also wanted to regain his wealth from Alice's hands.
Therefore, he deliberately created an illusion that the dragon went to the empty nest, and deliberately let the army of the Baltic Empire come here without any hindrance and defense, and this time he also had to fight a beautiful battle, so that the Baltic Empire could face up to their power and threat.
Only then will they be qualified to sit at that negotiating table.
"Are you going to wait until it gets dark, or are you going to wait until they're resting before attacking?"
The white dragon had already finished his ice bar, stretched his waist, rolled on the snow again, and came to the side of the black dragon, asking impatiently.
"Shut up, take it quietly, go to bed if you're bored, and I'll call you up when the time comes. ”
The black dragon said impatiently, such an attitude is not strange at all, most of the dragons look down on the white dragon, weak strength is one aspect, the other aspect is that the white dragon is too wild, doing things very similar to beasts, and the brain is full of muscles.
Bai Long's face showed an aggrieved look, but due to the power gap between the two, he had to lie down again, close his eyes, and within a few minutes, a bubble appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"An idiot. ”
The black dragon glanced at it, and then stopped paying attention to the white dragon who was already asleep.
He waited patiently, waiting for the other side to completely let down his guard, he had fought against the Baltic Empire armies in Scandinavia, and with the experience of the last battle, he had two experiences.
After these two encounters, and the information he heard from the bard in the tavern, he concluded that the army of the Baltic Empire was best at fighting defensive counterattacks.
He had fought on the battlefields of Upplan, and had seen the mighty red dragons also shot through their bodies by these bed crossbows, knocking them out of the air before being slashed to pieces by the berserkers who swarmed them.
The berserkers who have reached legendary power are no joke, and their attacks can completely break through the dragon's scales and skins, slice their muscles, chop off their bones, and end their lives once and for all.
Therefore, his first target was placed on those bed crossbows, and even the spellcasters were ignored by them, after all, those spellcasters had not yet reached the level of legends, and together, they could only affect them, and could not damage them, let alone kill them.
"I'm emphasizing that our goal is those bed crossbows, and we have to destroy those bed crossbows as soon as possible. ”
The black dragon emphasized it uneasily, and he ignored the white dragon who was sleeping heavily, because he knew that even if he emphasized it to the white dragon a hundred times, he would not take it to heart, and what should be forgotten would still be forgotten.
"Got it, rest assured, those bed crossbows are made of wood, and they won't be able to withstand my flaming dragon breath. ”
The red dragon yawned lazily, his great strength made him proud enough, even if he was invited by the black dragon to unite to attack those enemies, he did not take the army of the Baltic Empire to heart.
He is a powerful red dragon, not a white dragon without brains, nor a black dragon who needs to use tactics to achieve his goal, whatever they want to do in the red dragon, they do it directly, using violence to achieve their goal.
"When they are about to leave, we are attacking, and you, bear with me, if you are disobedient, I will eat him directly. ”
The black dragon turned his head and roared at his dependents, who were within the reach of magic, and his voice would not yet reach the outside.
The family members of the black dragon are all gnolls and goblins, which are not strong races, and they hold the most rudimentary weapons in their hands, and there will be no formations and tactics when attacking, and they are chaotic, and the momentum is not there, and the combat effectiveness is also very weak, and the only thing that is commendable is that they can fight with the wind.
The gnolls and goblins were lying on the ground in patches at this time, they didn't dare to speak, and they didn't dare to make other movements, and the dragon power that was close at hand, pressing on their souls, made them very uncomfortable.
The black dragon was still waiting quietly, very patiently, but the Baltic army led by Bud was impatient, but out of respect for the command, they were still relatively quiet and vigilant.
"Let your guard down. ”
Bud hesitated for a moment, but gave the order to lift the guard.
In his heart, it was still hard to believe that the dragon would leave like this, he always felt that the cunning black dragon was brewing some kind of conspiracy, maybe hiding somewhere, waiting for the moment when he let down his guard and attacked.
However, the sky and the ground have been explored, but no traces of the black dragon have been found, nor have they found any traces of the black dragon's dependents, nor have they found any traces of the undead.
Continue to be vigilant, it seems that there is no other gain except for wasting physical strength, if it continues, it will only make the warrior more tired, if the black dragon really attacks in the dark night, then the physically tired warrior will be difficult to exert their combat effectiveness.
Of course, it's not that you have let down your vigilance or you really let down your vigilance, the perennial training has kept the warriors from the Baltic Empire vigilant, and if the black dragon really attacks, they will be equipped in a matter of minutes, take their weapons, arrange their arrays, and prepare for battle.
Among the several countries in the Northlands, even if Francis Drake's pirate empire is added, if the training level of the warriors and the quality of combat are concerned, the warriors of the Baltic Empire are superior.
"Let our harpys take turns to fly into the skies to keep watch, and at night use campfires to keep the light nearby, and don't skimp on fuel, nothing else is important compared to dragons. ”
Bud instructed his herald as he walked.
"By the way, let those spellcasters come and see me, I have something to ask them in detail. ”
Although the herald had already told Bud of the results, he wanted to inquire about it himself.
The five spellcasters soon came to Bud, their movements graceful and their faces calm, even though they had just returned from the dragon's lair, there was no dust on their clothes.
"Have you already found the dragon's nest? ”
Bud squeezed a smile out of his face.
"The result...... We searched carefully with magic and found no information about the dragon, and then we went back with magic to find that the dragon's nest had been abandoned for at least two weeks. ”
"Two weeks, if I'm not mistaken, two weeks ago, it was when our army failed. ”
"Yes, it can be speculated that the dragon left this lair after defeating our army, probably fearing our Baltic Empire and fighting us. ”
"Well, what you're saying is the most likely thing right now, but I still have doubts in my heart, and if that's the truth, then our intelligence forces have made a serious mistake. ”
At this time, the caster didn't know how to answer, the matter involved the intelligence force was no longer a topic that their identity could interject, and sometimes an unintentional sentence could be transmitted to the ears of the other party, which might produce unpredictable situations.
If they could, the casters didn't want to deal with the intelligence forces, because they were afraid of the Assassins in the intelligence forces, assassins who could easily approach their bodies and cut off their heads without them noticing.
Bud looked at the caster who had fallen silent and silent, and rubbed his head with a headache, he knew that this topic had ended here, and he would not get any useful news if he continued.
"Forget it, you go down and have a good rest, I'm sorry for you today. ”
Bud nodded, and let the spellcasters go down to rest, and then he needed to discuss with the other commanders, whether to continue to station here to find the truth about the black dragon's disappearance, or to go home, and wait for the intelligence forces to provide them with new, real information.
"Let's go back. ”
This is the answer given by the rhinoceros commander, just like most rhinos, this commander's combat style is also very conservative, the disappearance of the black dragon is too unexpected, and continuing to stay here gives him too much insecurity.
"The black dragon is not leaving, and will definitely be here, perhaps a few kilometers away, watching us, intending to attack us while we are leaving. ”
The gnoll commander said unwillingly, he longed to be able to kill the black dragon, even if he did not command the army in the position of commander-in-chief, he also hoped to win this battle and share the results of the victory.
The reason is not due to his own ambitions, but to the entire group of gnolls in the Baltic Empire, because most of the gnolls in the Northland are loyal to the Attila Empire, so the status of these gnolls who have joined the Baltic Empire is very delicate.
They are loyal to the Baltic Empire, loyal to Alice and Semiramis, and willing to give their lives for the empire and the two adults, but this loyalty is only known to them, and no one else is willing to believe them, or completely believe that they can use their weapons to cut down the compatriots of the Attila Empire.
At this time, this dragon slaying battle is very important, although these dragons are said to have broken away from the camp of the Attila Empire, and their escape was pursued by two knights, but the common people still regard the evil deeds of these dragons as a conspiracy of the Attila Empire.
If you get the merit of slaying dragons as a gnolle, then presumably other people will also dispel the discrimination against gnolls a little, and similar to the Yaats, they are also eager to become dragon slayers.
"Calm down, don't bring your private emotions into this war, our enemy is the cunning black dragon, he will not let go of any of our mistakes, I will give you a minute to think about what we have encountered today, and to speak. ”
Bud said calmly, patting the rhino man on the shoulder and glaring at the gnolla again.
A minute passed quickly.
"If you calm down, let's continue with the topic we just had. ”
"Now there are several questions, first, according to the intelligence of the intelligence department, the black dragon that should have appeared did not appear, can we doubt that our intelligence department has made a mistake, and their intelligence can no longer be trusted. ”
Bude's first question is very sharp, whether the intelligence services are credible or not, should not be doubted by them, they are just soldiers, even if there is a problem in the intelligence services, they should report the situation to the higher level, instead of making unwarranted speculation here.
"I think the intelligence services can be trusted. ”
The rhinoceros said, and next to him, the gnolls nodded in agreement.
"Your Highness and Your Majesty trust those guys, and my Highness and Your Majesty's judgment, their judgment is never wrong. ”
"Well, yes, that's what I thought, too. ”
"Well, okay, then the information of our intelligence department is accurate, and there should be no doubt about this in the future. ”
"The second question, since the information we got from the intelligence services is accurate, why isn't the Black Dragon here?"
"Or is he hidden here, unnoticed by our experienced scouts and spellcasters?"
