Hold the cards in one hand?

At least that's what the team in the room thought

Even if there were some accidents in the course of the battle, it was impossible to change the outcome of this hunt

Although this white dragon is still in his youth, he has combat experience that does not match his age, and it is enough to be called outstanding among white dragons of the same age.

The white dragon's struggle had become weaker and weaker, and three of the five ghosts that had surrounded him had completely lost their traces

On the surrounding ground, several crystals that looked like black crystals appeared, constantly exuding a rich black aura

Obviously, while achieving this result, this team did not pay nothing.

Chrissy's pale face was even paler, and the wanderer who had been hiding in the branches and leaves was gone, and he had taken refuge in the shadows, using the power of the shadows to repair the wounds in his body.

Hank and the Druid were the slightly better of the four, Hank's shield had been reduced to pieces, but he didn't just have one shield, and using a spare shield wouldn't make them less combative.

Mature warriors will normally prepare themselves with multiple weapons, because weapons can easily wear out or break during long and intense battles.

The druid, on the other hand, is purely over-consumed, and as long as he takes a little rest, he can re-enter the battlefield, even if he uses the magic materials he carries cleanly, he can also use local materials to cause problems for the enemy.

The black shadow turned into a fist-thick chain, restraining the white dragon and immobilizing him on the ground, while Hank repeatedly attacked the white dragon with his shield to confirm that he had truly lost the ability to fight back.

The wounds on the White Dragon's exterior had begun to heal, and even the holes in his wings had been regenerated, and a legendary beast like the White Dragon really had a unique advantage compared to humans, and this advantage was all-round.

If it weren't for the fact that the dragon had a flaw in his personality that was difficult to change and could not form a civilization that was advanced enough, then there really would be no other race in this world.

It is not without deep truth why those far-sighted superiors hate dragons so much, and why they spare no effort to find a way to hunt dragons.

The white dragon seemed to have no possibility of struggling, healing the wounds on his body came at the cost of his physical strength, plus he originally came out because he was hungry and needed to hunt for food.

The battle will end with the victory of Hank's team of four, who will capture the dragon in front of Gustas, and use it to obtain the truth about the anomalies of the beasts of Scandinavia during this time.

In this way, the Hank Four will gain a lot of money for them and the interest groups behind them, and they will be able to use this merit to obtain some of the rights to exploit the resources in the development of Scandinavia.

Compared to these things, the living white dragon is not so important.

Suddenly, there was a dense sound of flapping wings from the sky, which sounded like countless bats flapping their wings, but louder than bats.

"Damn!

Hank snarled, he asked Chrissy as he asked.

Even if he didn't have to use his eyes to confirm it, he could tell by the flapping of his wings the characters in the sky who were ready to intervene in this dusty battlefield

It was the sound of the wyvern and the dragon flapping their wings, and judging by the sound, there were no less than thirty of them, which was enough for the army of the Baltic Empire to take it seriously.

"Retreat, damn it!"

Without waiting for Chrissy's reply, Hank did not hesitate to slam his shield on the head of the white dragon in front of him, and in the midst of the wailing, the white dragon fell into a coma

If it weren't for the fact that they could guarantee the capture of this white dragon alive, they would never have wasted so much time and temporarily lost the combat effectiveness of the two team members.

Chrissy was awakened by Hank's voice, and she lowered her head to ignore the dragons and wyverns, the situation had completely deviated from their plans.

The dragons, who had always been alone, began to support each other, and this situation was so bad that it was no longer something for their team to deal with, and if they didn't want to be buried in the mouths of these dragons, it was the best choice to evacuate as quickly as possible at this time.

The white dragons that are not common in Scandinavia are galloping towards this side, but there are also red dragons and black dragons, and the red and black colors are particularly conspicuous in the wind and snow.

Red and black dragons, who like to live in volcanoes and swamps, usually hibernate in caves during such cold seasons and should not be seen in this place.

The spell of [Cat Elegance] was attached to each team member, and the four of them directly dropped the white dragon that had been stunned and unconscious, and ran towards the direction of the city in the distance.

At the same time, Chrissy began to find a way to get in touch with the troops stationed in the city, and although they did not receive support from the Empire for their activities, the Empire would not watch the legend they had worked so hard to cultivate fall like this.

Almost every legend who belongs to the empire has such a thing to call for help, such a magic item is expensive to make, it takes a long time, but it is nothing compared to the role it plays, compared to the preciousness of the legend.

It's not that the empire can't afford the loss of these legends, but the loss of these legends like this will have a bad impact on the empire, especially in this more sensitive period, with the fall of the Attila Empire, a large number of legends have joined the empire and joined the ranks of the victors.

In many cases, stability is more important than anything else.

Wanderers and druids with slightly better injuries take on the role of holding back enemies, and if they only rely on moving on the ground, they will not be able to get rid of the winged enemies that soar through the sky.

Judging from the overwhelming number of enemies, if they are entangled, what awaits them will inevitably be the annihilation of the entire army, not to mention that their current situation is very bad, they have just experienced a fierce battle, and their bodies have been damaged to varying degrees, and they will not be able to exert their full combat effectiveness at all.

Gustas, who was in the city, received a message from Chrissy for help as soon as he could, and he put down his work and began to organize a team for help without hesitation.

The dragons in the city were all dispatched, and double-digit legendary spellcasters joined the rescue force, and in order to prevent this from being a ploy to divert the enemy from the mountains, Gustas asked the rest of the casters to open the city's defenses, and also ordered the scouts in the army to disperse into the forests around the city.

There were no formed enemy armies in the former Attila region at all, and the strength of the protective magic placed around the city was enough to buy them a few days.

With a little arrangement, Gustas rode his pegasus in the direction of Chrissy's signal, followed by a large number of dragons, wyverns, and spellcasters on various flying mounts.

Hank and the others, who were fleeing, took out the props at the bottom of the box that they were usually reluctant to use, and the wanderers had replaced ordinary arrows with magic arrows, and the explosion from the sky completely broke the silence of the forest.

From time to time, flocks of birds could be seen rapidly departing in the opposite direction, and these unintelligent beasts revered their instincts, wanting to escape from their fate of becoming food, or not to be unfortunate enough to be involved in a dispute that had nothing to do with them.

Lords from other places also did not appear, and whoever faced the dragons of Wyverns and Dragons would suppress their temperament and make appropriate choices.

Still, some birds and beasts inevitably intervened in the battle, and under the control of the druids, these birds and beasts were not afraid to charge at the dragons and dragons, they were confused by the magic and temporarily suppressed the fear of death.

Just an ordinary breath can kill these birds and beasts in pieces, but these birds and beasts still cause a lot of trouble for the dragons, successfully slowing their pace of progress, and buying Hank's team a crucial time.

The pursuit between the two sides had been going on for thirty minutes, and the wanderer's magic arrows had almost run out, which were originally the control of the army, and he could only obtain this amount in his capacity.

Next to him, the druid had no way to continue to perform magic, the magic materials he carried on his body had been depleted, and the magic power in his body could not be overdrawn.

In the case of these two people who cannot participate in the battlefield, the only person who can intervene on the battlefield and fight back is Chrissy, who specializes in necromantic magic.

A legendary warrior like Hank can play a very limited role in such a pursuit battle, and it is impossible to let him stay as the queen of the palace to buy time for the other three companions to escape.

Now that the number of enemies is overwhelming, they can leave a few wyverns to deal with Hank, who is not in shape, while the rest of the dragons continue to pursue.

As the only one who could fight back and stall for time, the survival of the whole team was on Chrissy's shoulders, and she felt a lot of pressure.

Despite this, she didn't complain in the slightest, but used her magic to fight back as much as possible, dragging the blessing who had just hunted the white dragon Chrissy only to participate in at the end, her state was the best of the four, and there were plenty of spell casting materials.

Patches of undead were awakened by her from the dirt, between the enemies were dragons, and all she awakened were the bones of birds, low cost, able to fly, and nimble enough.

There are still a small number of ghosts among the bones of these birds, all of whom have died in this forest during this time, and their souls have not yet left the main plane for the underworld.

Spectre Legion

Undead Scourge

Why spellcasters who are proficient in necromantic magic tend to be terrifying, and why the knights of the enemies of the Attila Empire are the most reluctant to face the death of their knights, this is the reason.

The dragons who followed closely behind were already feeling bored, and the squad's attacks weren't enough to pose a lethal threat to them, but they couldn't ignore it either.

They had to maintain their speed in order to dodge those attacks and avoid being entangled by the ghosts, and only the true legendary dragons could not care about the weaker ones that could not remain intact.

The red dragon was surrounded by hot wind, and the black dragon was surrounded by black mist, the former was hot enough to melt metal, and the latter was corrosive enough to turn stone into liquid in an instant.

But the wyverns were not as easy as the dragons, and they were gradually unable to keep up with the speed of the dragons, and they were entangled with the ghosts and bone birds in the back.

The land that was originally covered with thick dead branches and leaves is covered with layers of withered white bones, making this forest even more gloomy, and the trees here will grow even more luxuriant next spring.

"Don't stop, keep running. ”

Hank took the time to say that at this time, as a warrior, he could not play much of a role.

"Chrissy, don't be stingy with magic and don't care about magical materials. ”

Chrissy's face became even more ugly, although there was no need to perform delicate manipulation on the bones and ghosts, but the scale of awakening the ghosts and bones was still such a large scale that it was still a big burden for her.

"Reinforcements are already on the way, and if we hold on any longer, we will be saved. ”

Hank's voice reached the dragons' ears with the breeze blowing, making them even more irritable, flapping their wings regardless of their physical strength.

The two dragons stopped their pursuit, their mouths open, thick flames compressed in their mouths, and then red pillars of light rushed towards Hank and the others.

All the pillars of light in front of them silently dissipated and melted, and when you looked down from the sky, it was as if the entire forest had been split in half by a red thread, revealing the soil with a little fire.

Hank's squad didn't dodge, the speed of such an attack was too fast, and it was unrealistic to dodge, so they could only find a way to resist.

The red light dissipated

At the end of this black line, only the mutilated shield that had melted, emitted heat, and was slowly condensing, and the person behind the shield was gone.

Apparently at the last crucial moment, Hank once again took out his spare shield to block the attack, buying them enough time to escape.

This was a small amount of time for the dragon, and he didn't know when the sky of the forest had been covered by thick dark clouds, and a clear roar could be heard from time to time.

The rain began to fall, and due to the cold climate, the rain turned into snowflakes before it hit the ground, and on the ground, I don't know when, there was a white fog, and this thick fog carried a stench that was enough to make people dizzy.

The dragons stopped their pursuit, roaring unwillingly, destroying the trees on the ground with their breath from time to time, venting their frustration at the failure of the pursuit, and their eyes and sense of smell were severely disturbed in such a blizzard and dense fog.

Soon, they stopped such meaningless venting, and left in the direction they came, and in the absence of a way to change what had been exposed, it became their choice to find a way to reduce the loss as much as possible.

With their knowledge of the Baltic Empire, the next thing they need to face is a sweep of the Imperial army, and although they are very unwilling, they still need to admit that there are very few armies on the frontal battlefield that can become the opponent of the Imperial army.

Unaware that they had managed to escape, Hank and the others were still running in the direction of the city, unable to be sure that they had managed to escape from the enemy's entanglement.

Thirty minutes later, they managed to meet the troops of Gustas who had arrived to meet them, and successfully returned to the city under heavy protection, where they were already prepared with medicine and doctors to treat them.

When his injuries were too big to interfere with his movements, Gustas summoned them to the chamber, his face calm, looking like the night before the storm.

"Hank, come on. ”

Gustas didn't look at Chrissy, who was pale and silent next to him, the captain of this team was Hank, and it was Hank who could really make up his mind.

"Don't be so serious, Gustas. ”

Hank spread his hands, he sat on the sofa without a serious appearance, which made the faces of several guards standing behind Gustas extremely gloomy, and their eyes were like sharp knives, constantly circling around Hank's body, as if looking for a place to put the knife.

"Hank, be serious, it's not a trivial matter anymore. At this point, I need to understand what's going on and don't think I'm joking with you. ”

There was already a seriousness in Gustas's tone, which made Hank can't help but restrain the smile on his face.

"That's what we found, Gustas. ”

The subtext was that to get the information he wanted from them, Gustas had to give them a satisfactory answer.

It is impossible to get information from their mouths without giving anything.

"Damn, don't forget that I led someone to save you. ”

"Or do you want to break the laws and rules of the Empire?"

Gustas's face turned ugly, he no longer wanted to go around in circles, and the atmosphere around him seemed to be suffocating.

The other three members of Hank's squad stood up from their positions, and they walked behind Hank, looking at Gustas with a clear expression.

"Remember, we are not your subordinates, Gustas. ”

"But you are still soldiers of the Empire, and you must now abide by the rules and laws of the Empire. ”

The killing career of many years ago made the serious Gustas look particularly terrifying, and the glass of the room cracked in the crisp sound.

"I said, Gustas, we can talk about anything, don't put on such a face. ”

Hank stomped his foot vigorously, and the pressure on the entire room was like the solid snow of spring, which quickly melted in the sunlight.

However, this makes the relationship between the two even worse.

"Hank, the intelligence services already know about it. ”

Gustas looked at the stubborn man in front of him, and he knew that if Hank wanted to, he could definitely have a place in the army of the Baltic Empire with his abilities.

Unfortunately, Hank was reluctant to really get involved in the heart of the empire due to certain things in the past, preferring to maintain such a cooperative relationship.

"Damn, did you tell them?"

"Are you an idiot? Are you making such a fuss, are you making everyone blind and deaf, or do you think you can shut them up?"

Not to be outdone, Gustas retreated.

No one wants to deal with someone from the intelligence services if they can.

Now that Hank has made such a noise, as the supreme governor of this place, if he can't come up with an answer that satisfies the empire, the results on the report card will become unsightly.

In the past, Gustas could turn a blind eye to the actions of Hank and others because of his past friendships, but now it is something that even he has no way to interfere with.

Hank was silent for a moment, he also understood Gustas's difficulties, and he also understood what he meant, but he still couldn't tell the other party the information so easily.

"Hank, I'll tell you. ”

"I caused this incident. I'll take care of it. ”

Chrissy walked up to Gustas, she raised her head, and gave both sides a step to step down, completely easing the tension around her.

"We originally wanted to capture the head white dragon this time, hoping to confirm the authenticity of our information through this method and obtain the reward of the Empire. ”

Gustas: "How can you be sure it's the White Dragon?"

At this time, Chrissy appeared to be extremely patient, and showed a maturity that did not match her appearance.

"I've met white dragons before, and they're behaving strangely, not like they're just chasing away invaders or coveting treasure. ”

"I suspect that an anomaly like theirs is driven by an ancient dragon behind them, or ......"

"It's a snowy mountain druid. ”

The latter sentence was said by the druid, whose face was not very good-looking. In any case, the other party has the same profession as him, and among the people present, he knows the Snow Mountain Druid the best, including their ideas and thoughts.

"As we all know, the Snow Mountain Druid has a very close relationship with Sigoay, the princess of Barusenga, many years ago, our Majesty once went to the village of the Snow Mountain Druid, and successfully borrowed the power of the Snow Mountain Druid in the name of Sigourney to strike at the Scandinavian Empire and the Atila Empire at that time. ”

"Now that the Empire has fallen to the Attila Empire, for those Snow Mountain Druids, we are the new invaders who have replaced the Attila Empire, and we are the enemies to be fought against. ”

The Druid's claim was accepted by everyone present, and the fact is almost universal.

"The snow-capped druids have been in Scandinavia for thousands of years, and they lived in seclusion in the Norwegian mountains during the age of the gods, and because of their purpose, these snow-capped druids are more or less connected to the legends of Scandinavia, and can have an impact on dragons and legendary beasts. ”

"Of course, the idea that the Snow Mountain Druid is behind it is only an inference, and we now have no tangible evidence to verify this inference, if the white dragon can be captured, the Imperial side can strike at the Snow Mountain Druid. ”

The druid gave Gustas a deliberate look, and there was nothing false about what he said, but if he could successfully capture the white dragon, he could turn his speculation into reality.

"Very well, I hope you have no problem with what you say. ”

Gustas nodded, turned and left the room.

He needs to report to the intelligence community in a safe environment, and through the assassins in the intelligence department, he will pass on the information obtained from Hank's team to Jutland.

After Gustas left, the only four members of the team were left in the room, and no one spoke, and the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.

Hank sat in his position with his hands on his chest, he was the culprit who made the atmosphere heavy, and judging by the look on his face, he was still minding about Chrissy and the druids compromising like Gustas.

"Hank, don't be so childish. ”

Chrissy, who looked like she was just a few years old, patted Hank on the knee.

"I know why you're angry, but long back when we chose to join the Baltic Empire, something like this must have happened. ”

"Now that we have enjoyed the benefits of the Empire, we must carry out the corresponding obligations, and when some things should be clearly distinguished, we must still be clearly distinguished. ”

"No, Chrissy, you don't have to say it. ”

Hank clenched his hands into fists, his head lowered so that his face could not be seen.

"I'm the captain of this squad, and this time I was reckless. ”

Hank took the blame on himself.

"Don't worry, the conflict between me and Gustas is only a matter for the two of us, since I have joined the Baltic Empire, then I will naturally follow the laws of the Empire. ”

"Let's go, everything that should be explained has been explained, let's go to that guy to get the reward of the empire, and there won't be much time for us to rest. ”

"The next thing the empire will definitely issue a mission against those guys, it is not a simple task, even if it is a beast, the counterattack before death should not be underestimated. ”

Hank got up from his seat, and he had to gather his mood as quickly as he could, and be in the best shape for the next war in Scandinavia.
