Fighting against plural dragons with an army of mortals who can't fly doesn't have a very high chance of winning from that point of view, but being able to make the impossible possible is a great cause.

Unlike the armies of the Baltic Empire, it is not so easy for the dragons to choose a commander, and even if the black dragon has proven his abilities, it will be difficult to get the other dragons to obey his orders.

Dragons have never been calm creatures, and even if they are powerful, they have great prestige, but a battle is necessary to gain recognition and make them obey other people's orders.

Moreover, the dragon is not a brainless Scandinavian, and even if they are defeated head-on, it will be difficult to bring them to their knees, and more likely, the defeated dragon will turn and flee with anger and hatred.

The overall strength of the plural dragon is indeed very powerful, but the power that cannot be twisted into a fist is likely to interfere with each other, and then it will not be a matter of one plus one is greater than two, but one plus one is less than two.

Interfering with each other on the battlefield, competing with each other, and leaving strong enemies to others, will inevitably happen, just because there is no character in this so-called dragon squad who is strong enough to make the dragon strain with fear.

And the Baltic Empire army, which has been integrated and twisted into a unit, under the leadership of Bude, began to advance in the direction of the dragon, this time they are no longer as superstitious as before about the situation from the intelligence forces, after all, the other party's intelligence is changing in real time, even if it is a few minutes, the situation will be very different.

In addition to the dragons, they also need to pay attention to the dependents from the dragons, and when several dragons are combined, the number of gnolls and goblins under their command must exceed a few hundred, or even a thousand.

In addition, the black dragon's ability to summon the undead cannot be underestimated, in this land where I don't know how many corpses have been buried, as long as the black dragon is willing to give up their magic materials, they can pull out a huge army of undead in a short time.

Even if the quality of this undead army is not good, only quantity exists, but as the saying goes, when the quantity reaches a certain level, then the quantity will be transformed into quality, and the quantity will change to the qualitative change.

No matter how elite the army led by Bud now, if it faced such a large number of undead, it would only be completely overwhelmed, after all, they were only mortal armies, and they could not ignore the numbers.

"Flashbangs are ready, right? And the bed crossbow, have they all been adjusted?"

"In addition, those magic arrows on our archers have been confirmed to have not failed, right?"

By this time the huge army had arrived at the place where the dragon had been reported in the newspaper, and as before, the dragon remained in the canyon, occupying an extremely advantageous defensive terrain.

To reach where the dragon is now entrenched, it is necessary to pass through that canyon, and to pass through the canyon, it is conceivable that the dragon will carry out a wave of ambushes there, just as the entire army has annihilated the Baltic Empire forces before.

"The flashbang has been prepared, the bed crossbow has been overhauled, and there are no problems. ”

Flashbangs have proven to be extremely effective against dragons in previous battles, especially when the dragon is diving and wants to spit out dragon breath, giving one to the opponent can effectively reduce the lethality of dragon breath.

It has been proven that ordinary warriors, even with targeted equipment, can't really deal damage to dragons, because they are not strong enough to reach that elite level.

And the bed crossbow has become the most likely weapon for them to kill the dragon, and the crossbow arrows loaded on these bed crossbows have changed a lot, not in pursuit of penetration, but in the pursuit of lethality, there is a blood groove on the top of the crossbow arrows, and the magic of [bleeding is not stopped].

If a dragon is hit by this crossbow arrow, then it is conceivable that over time, the more blood will flow, and it will take a lot of time to deal with it, which is bound to change the situation on the battlefield.

Needless to say, those magic arrows used to give dragons very bad memories in the hands of elves, and in the former battlefield of Upland, there were dragons who fell into the hands of elves who used magic arrows.

Even if the archers of the Baltic Empire are not as accurate as the elves in terms of accuracy and the use of bows and arrows, they are much more numerous than the elves, and there may not be much difference in overall combat effectiveness.

Once again confirming that his army was ready, Bud looked up at the sun in the sky and gave the order to advance.

A kilometer around the army's advance had been explored by scouts, confirming that there were no enemy ambushes and no traces of the undead.

They walked through the forest where there were no birds, no insects, no wild beasts, and a long, messy line of footprints left behind the army, and after a long time, a white figure suddenly appeared, and he half-crouched down to examine the traces, and then quickly left.

Bud made the army move very slowly, on the one hand, he wanted to make sure that there was an enemy ambush around him, to prevent the situation from happening, and on the other hand, this slow marching speed was also to put pressure on the dragon's side, hoping to use this pressure to make the dragon make a tactical mistake.

The opponent is now occupying a favorable position, and if this pressure can be used to force the opponent to come out of the lair and attack the army first, then the role between offense and defense will be transformed.

Then at that time, the so-called geographical advantage of the dragon will be gone, and the battle between the two sides will return to a level.

Although in terms of combat effectiveness, the dragon's side is a little stronger, even if they don't work together, it is impossible for them to cooperate tacitly, but just this is enough to put pressure on the Baltic army.

"Stop, rest for five minutes, let the scouts disperse, and be on guard. ”

Less than three hours after walking, Bud ordered the advance to be halted and the army to rest.

Although the three-hour march is not a long time, and the physical exertion of this point cannot affect the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, everyone knows that the next battle will be a tough battle, and the slightest mistake may become a collapse.

The five-minute break passed quickly, and the rested army marched forward again, and by noon they had reached the canyon in front of the dragon's lair, the treacherous environment that had to be passed through and could not be bypassed.

The situation in the canyon quickly came into everyone's eyes, although they had already learned about it in intelligence before, but when they really saw it, they couldn't help but gasp.

The narrow canyon is about a kilometer long, while the width is less than five meters, and if three heavily armed warriors walked in, there would not even be enough space for a fight, and the bed crossbow ...... Such an environment bed crossbow can only be disassembled into parts, otherwise it will not pass through at all.

They finally knew why the previous army had been wiped out in this canyon, being surrounded by the enemy was one thing, but the treacherous situation here was the biggest factor.

In such a long and narrow canyon, as long as the dragon flew over and spewed dragon breath into the canyon below, the warriors could not even dodge.

"Commander Bud, are we really going through this canyon?"

"We have to go through this canyon, and if we want to attack the dragon, we can only do this. ”

The one who asked the question was the gnoll, who didn't want to take the route the enemy had planned for him if he could, the canyon was obviously a passage of death, and if they were in the canyon, there was no way for them to stop the enemy's attack.

"We can only pass this path. ”

"But this is the path that the enemy has laid out for us. ”

"Do you have any other way? if you have another way, bring it up, if not, shut me up, now that I'm the commander here, you just have to follow my orders. ”

"Since you've put your trust in me before, it's enough to trust me, boy, I've seen and killed many more dragons than you. ”

The gnoll wanted to argue about something, but his throat rolled, but he couldn't say a word.

As Bud said, since they had chosen to trust before, they should trust to the end, and now that there is a quarrel, it will only make things worse.

"Let those spellcasters come to me. ”

Bud turned his head away from the gnolloin and ordered to the herald next to him.

Soon, the leader of the spellcasters came to Bud, he still had undried sweat on his body, and the long march made these weak otaku who liked to stay in the magic tower for research experience an unusual period of energy.

"Can you destroy this canyon with [turning mud into stone]. ”

Bud made his request.

The caster wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, then turned his head to take a closer look at the canyon and said.

"It's difficult, although the number of our spellcasters is enough, but the strength is not strong, we can do what you ask, but after doing it, we don't have much combat power. ”

“……”

Without the support of the caster, this war does not need to be fought, only with the warriors and the combat power in their hands, it is impossible to kill the dragon, and it is still a plural number of dragons, even if this canyon is destroyed, the army without the caster is equivalent to being defenseless, and the situation will not get better, but worse.

"Is there any way we can get through this canyon safely? As you can see, if we march normally, there is a good chance that we will be wiped out, our army has already been wiped out here once, and we cannot make the same mistake a second time. ”

Bud ignored the sneer from the gnoll man next to him, and humbly asked the spellcaster for advice.

As a member of the Scandinavians, Bud is very respectful of spellcasters, because in the Northlands, the difficulty of the caster's inheritance, the scarcity of numbers, and the fact that each spellcaster is almost regarded as the most valuable combat power in each tribe, and has a status only lower than that of the chief.

"I see what you mean, Commander Bud, what you're asking for is to solve a canyon so that our people can safely traverse through it, and not have to use [Turning Mud to Stone], right?"

The leader of the spellcasters asked, his tone accentuated on top of the words "turn mud to stone".

"Well, yes, that's what I meant. ”

"It's not difficult, Commander Bud, but if you can, be on your guard, we don't want anyone to disturb us while we're working our magic. ”

"Well, don't worry. ”

Or, if you can let the other party bother, it's actually better, lead the snake out of the hole or something, there is nothing better than this, after all, this can completely control the initiative in your own hands,

"Don't worry, it's a [seismic] thing. ”

The leader of the spellcasters waved his hand again, and said unconcernedly.

There are as many environment-changing magics as there are in the hands of the caster, even if they are not legendary, there are many of them, and if it weren't for the arrogance and carelessness of the previous army, then this terrain is definitely not a reason for their total annihilation.

Soon, the entire army was in defensive formation, under Bud's orders, with the heavy armoured troops outside, the archers and other remote inside, and the bed crossbows aimed at the sky, ready for the possible dragons.

The assembled casters quickly prepared the release of the [Earthquake Spell], and in just a few breaths, the gorge that looked extremely precipitous was razed to the ground, but at this time, the dragon did not make any moves, as if he didn't care about the destruction of this defensive location.

The army moved forward cautiously, and the situation on the dragon's side looked very weird, and when it should have appeared, it never appeared, and one good opportunity was given up like this.

It's hard to imagine, because no one thought that the black dragon would be so cowardly, and it hasn't appeared until now...... It's hard to wonder if he's brewing a deeper conspiracy.

"Don't be careless, the other party is a black dragon, a cunning black dragon, don't let your guard down until you confirm that he is dead. ”

Bud commanded loudly, the cunning of the black dragon had penetrated deep into his heart, or that the black dragon without cunning did not exist.
