Chapter 51: The Fall of Salento
In the distance, several black dots were approaching the city of Salento at an alarming speed.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's three ......," Felder swallowed, his expression a little stiff. The black dots in the distance kept getting bigger, and in a few breaths, the silhouettes of the three dragons were clearly visible.
"Bang bang bang!" three red flares rose into the sky in a row.
"Prepare the magic railgun!" Adjutant Walden's hands and feet trembled, and sweat oozed from his forehead. He had participated in hundreds of battles to defend the city, large and small, and he had never remembered that two dragons had appeared at the same time, and it was even more unheard of for three to appear at the same time.
The Pegasus Knights had apparently noticed the dragon flying in front of them, and began to take on a defensive formation. The strange beasts around them noticed it faster, and they had already scattered and fled.
Sadler withdrew his gaze from the distance, and he turned his head to look at the young knights around him, many of whom had childish faces on their faces. Years of war have long since hollowed out the city of Salento, and the elves are already slower to reproduce than humans, and the age of conscription has dropped again and again, but there is still a shortage of enough soldiers. If the city of Salento can hold out for a few more years, his son will fight in this land like them.
Several dragons quickly approached, and the red dragon rushed to the front, like a red lightning bolt. It was greeted by the Magic Railgun Alloy Projectile that had been prepared for a long time, and two light blue beams of light bombarded its body one after the other. The strongest and savage of the dragons is none other than the Red Dragon, and even so, its scales can't stop the alloy cannonball from accelerating by the magic energy, and the cannonball passes through its body alive.
The red dragon's body shook, and its speed immediately slowed down, it raised its head and let out a roar, and it actually accelerated again and rushed towards the center of the city wall, and there was a commotion in the defenders in the middle of the city wall.
At this moment, Sadler picked up the horn hanging from his waist and put it to his mouth, and blew it with all his might. The low, powerful sound of the horn with a hint of tragedy is the special sound of the city of Salento, which represents courage and sacrifice.
Without any hesitation, countless pegasus horses charged with the young elven knights. The Pegasus Knights, who were no bigger than the claws of a giant dragon, rushed towards the red dragon one by one with spears in hand.
Like moths to fire, some Pegasus knights were already blown in the air by the wind of its wings before they could get close to the red dragon, and the knights who did not hold on to it fell from their horses and fell straight to the ground. At the same time that more knights' spears pierced the red dragon's body, they also hit the hard scale armor, and immediately blood splattered, and the body was broken into many pieces.
Duke Sadler's hands were clenched, and his eyes seemed to burst with anger, and he pulled the reins of Pegasus and charged towards the red dragon diagonally in front of him. He raised his sword aloft in his hand, ready to slash at the dragon's wings.
At this moment, a huge silver shield suddenly appeared in front of it! The giant shield was round, and its thickness was barely visible, and it seemed to continue to grow in size.
"Hurry up!" shouted the man with the shield.
Before the words fell, the red dragon couldn't dodge, or didn't bother to dodge at all, and crashed into it. The giant shield shattered into countless silver droplets, silently suspended in the air. The man behind the giant shield was knocked into the air more than ten meters with his horse and fell to the ground like a puppet with a broken string.
Unexpectedly, the red dragon seemed to have taken a lot of impact when it smashed the paper-like silver shield, and it let out a wail and slowed down. But soon it sped forward again.
"Leonard!!" Duke Sadler shuddered, gritted his teeth, turned his horse's head and flew towards the city wall.
Leonard and many Pegasus knights bought a short time for the magic energy railgun on the watchtower, and two loud muffled sounds, two light blue rays instantly penetrated the red dragon's body. The red dragon lost its balance for a moment, and its body began to spin, but the inertia caused its huge body to still fly towards the city wall.
The tumbling body of the red dragon swept over the city wall, and the watchtower on the other side of the city gate was broken by the waist, and suddenly the boulder crashed, and the entire city wall shook. Then there was a continuous crash, and the red dragon fell into the city, the force of the impact causing its body to bounce off the ground and rush forward, destroying all the houses in its path.
The fall of the red dragon drove the other two dragons into a frenzy.
The green dragon spat out a large piece of green liquid from its mouth and sprayed it at the elves on the ground, instantly screaming and crying. Green liquids are highly toxic and highly corrosive. The skin glued to the venom melted in an instant, revealing the white bones of the forest, and even the armor was melting and deforming.
The relatively small blue dragon floated in the air and took a deep breath. The white cold air continued to spit out from the huge mouth of the blue dragon, and the tens of meters around the place where the cold air reached were all frozen. The sky was dark, the temperature dropped rapidly, and snow began to fall. From outside the walls to inside the walls, the bitter cold wind whipped up snowflakes and raged.
"It's so cold......" Ise squatted on the ground with her back against the wall, her lips were white, her long eyelashes were covered with a layer of ice slag, and her hands were shaking over her shoulders.
Simpson slowly moved over and crouched down next to Eth. He lowered his head and shielded her in front of him with his broad, thick body. His body slowly stiffened, and his hair froze at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The surroundings have become a world of ice and snow, watchtowers, city walls, houses, everything has been frozen, the surface is covered with a thick layer of snow, and the howling cold wind makes people unable to open their eyes.
Vane sat on the ground against the wall, unconscious in his legs and feet. He turned his head to see that not far to the right, Elena was crouched on the ground with her hands on her knees, Felder's coat draped over her, and Felder himself curled up beside her. Vane looked at the two in front of him, and there was something indescribable in his heart.
Slowly, the people at the top of the tower all shrank into a ball and did not move. There was only the sound of the cold wind whistling in his ears, and Vane's body was numb, and he felt that it didn't seem to be so cold, and there was even a hint of warmth.
Of course I regret it, maybe I regretted it before, but I didn't have time to think about it. He regretted entering the cave at the bottom of the lake, regretting leaving Obojar, and even somewhat regretting leaving the town of Gus. If you're still in Gus, maybe you're still reading a book at a desk in the shadows of the trees, maybe you're listening to strange stories at the town's dwarven blacksmith's shop, maybe you're drinking beer with Felder at the Violin House, maybe you're ......
Vane closed his eyes, as if he were back at the window table on the first floor of the Raven and the Golden Vine Inn, the pages of the book flooded with soft sunlight......
Actually died in the city of ancient elves, fate is really unpredictable, Vane smiled self-deprecatingly, but there was no movement on his face. Just sorry, our partners...... Visions became blurred, and Vane fell into a deep sleep.
"Vane, Vane!" seemed to be calling out to him.
