Chapter 132: The Day the Demon Dragon Spreads Its Wings
The first to observe the strangeness in the sky was the elven warship on the line of the Gem River.
The elven lookouts, who sensed the movement, stood at the top of the mast, holding up the monoculars in their hands and looking in the same direction, looking into the dense clouds in the sky.
And then they were stunned.
In the distance, three small "black dots" burst out of the clouds, revealing their silhouettes in the lead-gray sky, spreading their wings like flocks of birds, moving up and down.
Soon, the "birds" revealed their hideous facesβtheir outstretched wings "striking" the wind like hammers, lifting up their colossal bodies, and the sound of air tremors could be heard from afar.
But it was such a large figure, but the speed was unimaginable, and the violent cold wind was torn by the wings, leaving a clear "white line" behind each of them, like the trajectory left by a leaping fish on the surface of the water when it swam rapidly, clearly visible.
The elven warriors on the Jewel River battleship were in a mess, looking up at the sky one after another, looking at the scene in front of them in shock and horror, which could only appear in dreams, and then desperately told themselves that they were not dreaming.
"Boom ββββ......"
The dull sound of thunder came from far away, but the sky was so clear that there was not even a shadow of lightning at all, and there was not a single cumulonimbus cloud.
So, that's not thunder.
It's a dragon's roar!
One black, one red, one blue.
Three behemoths stretched their wings in the air, screaming high enough to shake the sky, up and down from cloud to cloud, closing in on Ebolden at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Its potential... If thunder.
"Boom ββββββ!!!!"
Another roar, this time not just the elves, but the entire Ebolden battlefield was clearly heard.
The Ebolden defenders standing in a pool of blood, the Azorean elven warriors wielding broken knives, turned around one by one in a trance, and tacitly turned their eyes to the sky in the distance.
The fighting came to an abrupt end at this moment, and the battlefield was even more dead and silent than ever.
Stunned, or muttered, or stunned, or weeping, excited, surprised, excited, frightened, shocked, silent...... Mixed emotions that have never been seen before hovered on the battlefield of blood and fire at Ebolden.
It seemed to be just a blink of an eye, one moment it was a "small black dot" in the sky, and the next second, the three-headed dragon had appeared in front of all eyes and circled around the nine-pointed star wizard tower over the entire Ebolden.
A huge black shadow obscured the sunlight, and between light and darkness, the entire battlefield was bathed in dragon power.
"The prince, who saved the princess in distress, finally arrived at the last moment. β
Gently wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth, the black-haired wizard opened his exhausted eyes and looked up at the huge black shadow in the skyβwith the power of "transcendent perception", he could barely see the amber eyes of the three dragons, looking down on the entire battlefield.
The arrogant look has the charm of watching ants fight.
"But... It's a pity that the protagonist of this drama is not a certain prince who is late, but Her Royal Highness the princess, who has fought until the last moment from the opening to the present. β
The black-haired wizard who muttered to himself raised his left hand lightly in front of the stunned elven warriors in front of him.
"Smack!" snapped his fingers.
"Boom ββ!!!!"
The sound of the firelight bursting turned several elven warriors into charcoal, and also woke up the surrounding Byrne knights and surviving demon hunters, who quickly came back to their senses and turned their attention back to the battlefield.
"The whole army ββ, offensive ββ!"
....................................
The appearance of the dragon aroused the morale of the Ebolden defenders, and the remnants of the army from Lothair or Ellemont gathered under the banner of the black and gold lion of Byrne, regrouped and pushed the elven army outward.
Although they were already exhausted, the elven warriors were caught off guard and were still beaten first, and the battle situation gradually changed from retreating to evenly matched.
The huge shadow in the sky not only blocked the sun, but also reflected fear in the hearts of every elven warrior, and spread like a contagious disease.
The proud warriors are not afraid of death, but they are equally terrified by the unheard of and unseen beasts!
On the one hand, morale is like a rainbow, and on the other hand, they are fighting and retreating, full of worries - the balance of war, which was already dead, is deflecting at a very fast speed.
Looking at the panicked appearance of the originally brave and combative elven warriors around him, Ann Zade, the chief wizard of the Imperial Court, only felt a chill in his hands and feet, and he didn't know what to do.
Just now, more than two hundred elven warriors rushed over from the direction of the ruins to meet the army attacking the fortress, and the crimson one of the three dragons directly dived down, and the spitting flames splashed on the narrow streets like boiling water, and a wall of fire three or four meters above the ground directly rose from the ground!
As for the more than two hundred elven warriors, they will never be seen.
Such a powerful force is simply not something that you can compete with ... The white-haired elf boy trembled, and the only thing he could think of now was to leave this hellish battlefield with his sister as soon as possible!
The prince or something, the Azorean righteousness or something, the future of the family or something... It's all rolled aside, and the most important thing now is that my sister must not be in this kind of place......
"Be careful!"
Before she could react, Lori's exclamation had already exploded in the ears of the elf boy.
In the next second, the big sword, which was blocked by the back of the knife, was in front of his eyes.
"Want to run?"
With a chuckle, the black-haired wizard raised his head, his bloodshot eyes full of coldness:
"Don't you think it's too cheap?"
"You ......" Anson Zade, who was startled, gritted his teeth and barely kept his composure:
"Duke Byrne, what do you want?!"
We don't want to fight you, why are we so entangled?!
He was answered by Loren's sneer.
"What do I want?"
"You ran to my house, hurt my friends and associates, killed my emperor, trampled on my land, and now you have turned the city I guard into this......"
"You still ask... What do I want?"
"It's brazen, and it's a bit of a bottom line. Loren's expression became more and more cold, and his left hand, which was clenching "Bright Silver", slowly raised: "Then I'll give you self-righteous guys a clearer explanation." β
"Be ...... for your deeds"
"Pay the price!"
Poofββ!
The gray-blue sword flickered, and a blood flower erupted.
"Sister?!"
Looking at the torn wound on Lori's right arm, the elf boy exclaimed.
"I'm fine!"
The blindfolded elf girl's milky words came, still very calm: "Anson, cover the retreat of the army!"
"Yes!" gritting his teeth, the elf boy followed the figure of the elf girl closely, and threw a light sword behind him without raising his head.
After the roar of the explosion, the figure of the black-haired wizard rushed out of the smoke and dust again, wielding two sharp blades and relentlessly chasing after him.
He came, he came;
He's about to catch up!
The trembling elven boy was still desperately retreating, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at the dragon overhead, while Lori, who couldn't see and didn't know what was happening, continued to comfort her brother while quickly shuttling through the chaotic battlefield, opening the way for the elven warriors who had been scattered to retreat.
After attacking the enemy three times without being harmed, the elf boy had already developed deep doubts about himself, and he didn't even dare to look at Loren again, only knowing that he desperately hid under his sister's blade, and ran for his life without looking back.
But the black-haired wizard was always able to follow the siblings ten paces away, neither fast nor slow, as if it were deliberate... This feeling of imminence can bring a strong sense of oppression, which makes people tremble and fear.
The confused elven boy looked around and immediately understood that the other party was not deliberately hanging himself, but was maintaining a speed similar to that of the Ebotden defenders, pushing all of himself out of the range of the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower little by little.
Once the entire elven army withdraws from the range of the wizard tower, the dragon above his head will no longer have any scruples, and he can recklessly burn the entire battlefield with dragon flames!
But if you don't keep up with the army and retreat one after another, you will be caught up by Duke Byrne, who wields a great sword on the opposite side......
The two chiefs of the royal court will be afraid of a human being;
It's a shame......
But in the next second, he no longer had to "worry" about it.
"Bell ββ!"
The heavy "Dawn" sword was thrown out like a cannonball from a trebuchet, and the roaring explosion blocked the elven siblings' way back, and Anson Zade, who had completely fallen into control, stood directly in place, and the blindfolded elf girl with an indifferent expression immediately turned around and pounced straight on the black-haired wizard who was chasing after her.
"Sister......
"Anson, cover the retreat of the army!" Lori Zade was as calm as ever, swinging her sword to block the bright silver sword, and the stormy blades played out with sparks.
"Let's go!"
Looking at his sister, who was in a bitter battle and desperately trying to fight for her own chance to escape, there was a trace of bitterness in the elf boy's expression, and he couldn't help but glance at the huge figure above his head again.
Cover the retreat of the army ... It's already impossible.
As long as they escape beyond the range of the wizard's tower, the three-headed dragon will surely swoop down as it did just now, turning most of the city into flames.
No one can escape.
But I can't let my sister die here!
"ββ! Shark"
A flash of white light struck the two blades at the same time, and in the slightly surprised gaze of the black-haired wizard, the flickering light flickered in front of the blindfolded elf girl.
But he was only surprised for a second.
Burst!
The gray-blue sword slashed down again, and a left hand flew out of the "spot of light" spraying blood plasma.
"Anson?"
Before the bewildered blindfolded elf girl could ask, her brother couldn't help but hold down her shoulder, and Anson Zade, who was in pain, opened her eyes wide, and the white "light spots" finally completely swallowed the two figures.
When the black-haired wizard's sword slashed down again, the elven siblings were gone.
The red-eyed Ebolden defenders were still advancing frantically, constantly forcing the Ebolden defenders out of the line, and the battle, which was originally evenly matched, had evolved into a one-sided battle with the "hasty escape" of the main commander of one side.
The elven warriors, who were "infected" by the panicked atmosphere, could not parry at all, and fought and retreated, and even in the retreat, they maintained a considerable order, relying on the terrain or the superiority of the ranks to force the defenders to break up the line.
And the exhausted Ebolden defenders really don't have this strength.
As soon as the enemy withdrew from the "defensive circle" of the Wizard Tower Fortress, Loren immediately sounded the rallying horn and ordered the whole army not to pursue, and finally stopped the soldiers who were already hysterical and about to lose their minds at the last moment.
Because of a long-awaited "His Royal Highness the Prince", he can't wait to show his style.
"Boom ββββββββ!!!!"
The first thing that exploded in everyone's ears was the thunderous roar of the dragon.
Immediately after that, a huge wind whistled, and countless rubble and dust rose against the wind, so that everyone on the battlefield had to raise their hands and face, and even had to half-crouch down to barely stand firm.
Between the flying sand and rocks, the black dragon's wings rose upward, and its huge figure fell from the sky, swooping straight down.
"Boom ββ!"
The earth trembled, followed by a gust of wind β and a wind mixed with a heat wave.
The three dragons began to pour flames at the same time, and a golden-red "flood" sprayed and swept over Ebolden like a torrential rain, and the rain instantly flooded the entire city.
Although the entire elven army began to retreat one after another the moment the dragon appeared, a large number of troops did not have time to withdraw from the city, and remained in the ruins, covered by the rain of fire.
Looking at the smoke and fire in the sky above the city, as well as the looming but "imaginative" exclamations and screams, the little prince, whose mood gradually sank to the bottom, turned around and walked off the deck without changing his face.
At the bottom of the cabin, an elven girl covered in bandages was waiting for him respectfully.
"Lord Shira, it looks like I'm going to rely on you again. Although smiling, the little prince's tone was extremely cold:
"How's the preparation going?"
"People have been ready for a long time, just waiting for His Highness's order!"
A certain elf girl who should have died but didn't die in the castle smiled and bowed slightly to the little prince with her hands behind her back, her eyes flashing with pure luster: "As for the other one... Well, you can see for yourself. β
The little prince turned his gaze to the caged, chained figure, just as he was about to get closer and take a closer look.
"Bell ββ!"
The figure in the cage suddenly burst out and slammed into the iron railing, perhaps because of the pain, the tattered body twitched unnaturally.
Even so, it still scared the little prince a lot, and the corners of his smiling mouth twitched slightly.
"Hmm... He looks... Nice look!"
