Chapter 43: The Rotten Dragon
Loud and loud gunfire poured down like a torrential rain, and in the night sky, bright meteors marked one trail after another symbolizing death and destruction.
Freya pulls the trigger very regularly, and with each bullet, it hits the demon behind Corso.
It's just that some of the demons are really terrifying, and her bullets have knocked out the entire heads of those demons, but they can still stagger forward, as if they don't need brains to walk.
"It seems that you can only hit them in the lower half of the body, so that they can't walk. "Freya loves this kind of weapon, it can do great damage from afar, and the most important thing is that it is enough to use even the weakest witches, not like a bow and arrow, which few witches can pull away.
"Huh, is it pretty?"
Freya noticed that Rafa was staring at her all the time, especially after each shot, her eyes straightened.
"Ahem......" Rafa turned his head in embarrassment, only to face Felihill's cold face again, and hurriedly explained, "I didn't ......."
Phililiscil didn't talk to him much, and commanded Heda, "Heda, hit Corso in front." ”
"Hmm. ”
With Felihill's permission, Heddah began to shoot indiscriminately.
Seeing Hedda firing, Rafa thought that Felihill must have deliberately made Hedda do it in order to save ammunition, because as soon as she fired, the others hardly had to play.
Every time Heda fired, the bullets fired were like red-hot nails, much brighter than the fires fired by the knights around her, but the most important thing was the magic she had set on the bullets.
Whenever a bullet fell wantonly into the herd, the intense flames would spread in all directions like the spikes of sea urchins, and the group of evil beasts in the distance was torn apart, and not many evil beasts were consumed by the flames.
However, in a few breaths, Hedda had already fired all the bullets in the magazine, because the lethality was large enough, so she didn't need to deliberately aim, she only needed to shoot roughly.
Heddah, who was panting, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, "It's really hard to achieve precise control, and it's more tiring than my iron refining for a day." ”
The light of the explosion in the distance made everyone with the gun stop in shock, and from the slight tremor on the ground, they could deduce how powerful the explosion was, and they knew that it might not be their turn to do it.
"This must be His Highness Rafa's new weapon!"
That's what most people think.
It would be gratifying if Rafa could know what they were thinking, because the work of dismantling superstition was a small part done.
The flames gradually dissipated, and the corpses scattered on the ground were burning, and the scorching smell could be smelled even on the city walls.
"Flame is the means of purifying all evil!" the knights cried again.
"Roar!"
The few remaining beasts seemed to be completely enraged, and began to roar wildly towards Icefield City, and the knights, who were still in a daze, had to scramble to set up their guns again.
Dense gunfire began to ring out again, and the strange cries of the monstrous beasts became even more terrifying.
After two months of beast infestation, the knights have gained a lot of experience in fighting beasts.
The best way to deal with this large, thick-skinned beast that is not easy to kill if it doesn't hit its head is to break its legs, so that they have strong bodies but can't walk, and can only struggle on the ground in pain, like fish on the meat to be slaughtered.
Due to the fact that his legs were knocked off by the knights' fire, except for the demons who could walk without a head in the back, there were not many evil beasts in front of them that could move.
"It's the same with the demons in the back, knock off their legs. Rafa commanded in a loud voice.
If it had been a year ago, Icefield City would have tore some section of the broken city wall and entered the city, but now Icefield City, except for the big city in the middle of Ora, I am afraid that no other small city can be as strong as here.
It seemed that the unconscious skeletons and bones were still staggering, as if the death of all the evil beasts in front of them had nothing to do with them, and perhaps their task was to move forward.
"Are these guys here for the catwalk?" Knocking off the leg bone of a giant werewolf and causing it to fall to the ground, Freya began to reload her bullets on her own.
"It's also possible that it came to warn us. Rafa looked at the walking corpses who didn't seem to have intelligence, and vaguely felt that things would not be so simple, this invasion was obviously very similar to the previous ones, there were not many beasts, most of them were relatively heavy, and there were not even flying feathers to participate, it was really not a serious attack.
"Warning, whose warning, what to warn about?" Freya loaded the magazine and loaded it into the gun.
"I don't know about these issues, but I've already sent the Wind Witch to check, I should ......" Rafa suddenly remembered that he had been in a coma for almost twenty days, that is, according to the original plan, Lena should have come back a long time ago, but he didn't see Lena at all day today!
"Lena didn't come back. Felihill replied silently.
"That's not good. He was suddenly a little anxious, if even the Wind Witch, who was the best at escaping, had an accident, then what had become of danger in the Orr Mountains?
"Wind Witch, don't worry, those rude and clumsy beasts don't threaten them, and she might have made an important discovery if she doesn't come back. Freya pulled the trigger, and the humanoid skeleton was torn apart.
"That's good......"
"I want this gun, plus three hundred rounds. Freya, who is getting more and more comfortable with the fight, is simply more and more in love with the weapons in her hands.
"Three hundred, that's too much, isn't it?" Although he knew that Freya had brought a lot of gold coins, which was indeed enough to exchange for these things, but the bullets were used to ward off evil beasts, and money could not buy them.
"Give it to her, our current production is not low, and three hundred rounds of ammunition will not make a difference. Philisille said.
"Yes...... ? Rafa felt like he had slept and that the outside world was changing too fast.
"Your Highness, the beasts have all been killed, and the demons have been slain, what should we do next?" Knight Kono lowered his binoculars and saluted Rafa.
Hearing this, Rafa looked away from Freya, who had unconsciously fallen on Freya, and looked into the distance.
"Tsk, I can still crawl and walk without being human, and I'm really strong enough. ”
"Your Highness, look!" Rafa was thinking about when Audele, who had been standing behind him, suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone was reminded by her like this, and they all looked into the distance.
"God!" Seeing the scene in the distance, Captain Kono couldn't help but exclaim.
The bones that were struggling on the ground suddenly began to wriggle violently, not just flesh and broken bones, all of them began to gather on the ground as if they had been summoned in some way, and then gradually took shape.
"Dragons, hehehe, interesting. Freya's eyes widened with excitement as she watched the combination of minced flesh and bones grow taller.
"Your Highness. Carly saw Freya seem to be a little out of shape, and took a slight step forward and whispered a reminder.
"Got it. In response, Freya forcibly suppressed her desire to make a move, staring into the distance.
Not only the corpses of the demons, but also the corpses of the previous evil beasts, were all attracted by the storm formed by the bones, and even standing on the city wall, you could feel the fishy wind whistling out of the storm of bones.
The knights on the city wall trembled in horror and unconsciously retreated, and if it had not been for the last bit of confidence given to them by the sight of the prince and the princess still on the wall, they would have been so frightened that they would have abandoned their guns and fled.
"Something beyond people's knowledge?" Rafa was not surprised, and even felt very kind, because in his previous life, there were not many sects that summoned dead corpses for me, so such a scene was not unfamiliar to him.
The black mist that entangled the bone storm began to dissipate, and the monsters that popped out of it made many knights scream.
It was an ugly dragon with dozens of eyes, and its massive bony wings were made entirely of bone, while the rest of the body was made of rotten flesh and bone.
On the whole, it looks like a big bird that has been skinned, scarlet and black, which is very terrifying.
The foul wind hit and even Freya was slightly surprised, let alone the knights who were so frightened and panicked.
"Roar!"
The dragon roared, and dozens of crooked eyes of all sorts began to turn scarlet on its head.
"I don't know how its windy wings make it fly, hehe. In order to spice up the atmosphere, Rafa laughed a few times.
It's just that the people with shocked faces obviously didn't understand his joke, and just looked at the dragon in the distance in horror.
"This girl won't be frightened, will she?" Seeing that Felihill was a little stunned, Rafa walked over to her and put his arm around her shoulder, "Fili?"
"What?" Felihill felt a little weak and leaned towards him unconsciously.
"This thing is just a rag that is used to bluff people. Rafa reassured.
“......”
At this moment, the dragon waved its wings and grew its mouth, as if it had moved.
"It's magical! a magic dragon!" Freya almost jumped for joy, her eyes full of frenzy.
Everyone could feel that a strange energy was gathering in front of the dragon, and even though it was night, those with good eyesight could still see that in front of it was a dark ball that was growing in size.
"It's going to blast through the walls!" Rafa remembered vividly how Elle had blown up the walls, and he estimated that the corpse dragon would do the same thing as Elle had done before.
"Heda! don't stay still! shoot!" he shouted at Hedda as he put his arms around Felihill.
“...... Hmm!" The skin-stinging hurricane swept over, and Hedda also came to hate, and began to silently gather mana, "Concentrate!"
Raising her gun, she aimed it at the darkness that was gathering in front of the dragon.
Hedda was also seeing the legendary dragon for the first time, a corpse dragon made of corpses, and she didn't think she could defeat a real demon with her own strength.
But she was not timid, because she was a witch, a white-haired witch, a witch who had always been feared by people, how could she herself be intimidated by a lifeless beast?
It's ridiculous to say that the witches, whom the church calls the devil's minions, are fighting against the real demons, and the self-proclaimed theocratic church only greedily exploits everything from the believers.
"Heda!" Rafa urged again.
"Shut up!"
I don't know if it was for Rafa or the dragon in the distance, but Hedda finally pulled the trigger.
The barrel of the gun in her hand was completely burned red by the high temperature of the magic power, but fortunately, the eyes of the knights were far away, and she had not yet noticed that she could pinch the red-hot steel.
"It's a pity...... Freya seemed to feel a little sorry, "forget it, it's the same if you catch it later." ”
As she spoke, Freya snapped her fingers as she stared at the bullet that had been plunged into the darkness.
"Da!"
The crisp snapping of fingers was so clear that it could be heard by the entire city wall.
"Boom!"
The next moment, a strong white light burst out from in front of the dragon, blinding everyone who witnessed it, and it was as if a sun had lit up in the sky.
The powerful and scorching air currents tossed many knights to the ground, and Rafa hurriedly hugged Felihill, holding down the hem of her skirt to avoid being blown by the wind.
In the world swept by the light, only Freya and Katya still stood in place without waves, the air flow and light seemed to have bypassed them deliberately, without affecting them at all, Freya's skirt did not shake a little, and the light that fell on them seemed to be refracted and much dimmer than the surroundings.
It's just that everyone closes their eyes, and no one sees the vision in them.
After a while, the wind was gone, and the intense white light was gone.
Of course, the dragon is gone.
In the clear sky, the bright moon hangs high, and the stars in the sky are still bright.
