Chapter 284: Arrived in Time
There were no corpses in the camp, and there were no traces of battle, since there was no battle, it only means that the mercenaries could instantly judge that the other party was stronger than them when they saw what attacked them, so they chose to retreat directly. Because I'm in a hurry, I guess I didn't bring anything, and the communication stone should have been left at this time.
The clue was broken here, and Linton could only search so far with reverse search magic. Linton thought about it, and now look around.
Fortunately, the view from high altitude was not bad, and Linton found a battlefield after looking for a while. From the sky, there were charred black marks on the ground, and when I came down, I found that it was obviously burned by the flames, the ground was completely dried up, and the surrounding plants were naturally all gone.
In addition, Linton also found some metal residue, presumably weapons and equipment. But now it's completely unrecognizable, because it's been completely melted and deformed, and then solidified, and now it's just a black mass. The reason why it can be seen is that it is weaponry, because Linton also saw some corpse fragments on the inside of the molten iron package, which were barely preserved because they were covered by molten iron. Of course, the intact corpse could no longer be found, and Linton probably turned to ashes.
So it's obvious that the mercenary team should have been attacked by a fire-breathing monster, and when it comes to fire-breathing monsters, Linton's first thought is a dragon, so it shouldn't be a dragon that attacked Ellie this time.
Because the thing he was looking for this time was called Dragon Blood Sword Grass, Linton also wondered if this thing had anything to do with dragons, and after asking, the dragon thing did exist in this world, but it was generally not found. No one can answer the question of whether there are dragons in the Villawe Gorge, at least not at least there are no sightings reported now, of course Linton wants to see it, how strange this thing is, but how to find it?
"This woman won't die, will she?" Linton looked at the scene, but there was really no way to tell the number of corpses. It's very likely that Ellie is one of the black charcoals in it. Of course, it didn't seem like a good explanation to give up like this, so Linton decided to ask the dragon directly, and if it killed Ellie, then get it back and hand it over to Klose. If Ellie hadn't died, she would have asked the dragon directly what the other party should know. Of course, it's still that problem, how to find it, although the dragon should be very large, but at present, Linton swept around and didn't see a shadow.
Fortunately, just when Linton didn't come up with anything, he suddenly discovered something. After opening Kagura's eyes again, Linton found that there were very few things to search for in this place, and after thinking about it for a while, Linton suddenly understood. If there were dragons here, then ordinary monsters would not dare to approach here at all, which instantly helped Linton eliminate a large number of wrong options. In this case, Linton directly selected the nearest activity targets and flew towards that direction.
At this time, Ellie is facing the biggest crisis in her life. She's still alive, but she's almost seeing her own time dead.
There were four other people in front of Ellie at this time, three men and one woman, all members of the Holy Horn Mercenary Regiment. In front of them was a red dragon. Linton's guess was correct, it was indeed a dragon that attacked them, and the leader of the mercenary group, Sodra, chose to retreat the moment he saw the dragon.
Obviously, they strayed into the territory of the dragon, it is impossible to slay the dragon, even if it is the top mercenary group, but the mercenary is just a mercenary, and the dragon is a country-level disaster, they can't deal with it at all, the only hope is that the dragon is in a good mood and ignores them. However, the expectations were soon disappointed, and the dragon not only did not let them go, but pursued them all the way.
The members of the Sacred Horn Mercenary Regiment fled for a day and a night, during which time some people kept leaving the group, choosing to stay behind and sacrifice themselves to protect the army, but even so, the dragon was still chasing them, and even Sodra could feel that the dragon seemed to be deliberate, and it felt like playing with its prey.
After sacrificing most of the team members, only four members of the Holy Horn Mercenary Regiment are still alive. Of course, they are also the absolute main members of the team, four strong men, but in front of the dragon, they are still like ants.
However, the Holy Horn Mercenary Regiment is worthy of being the best in the industry, and even in this case, they continue to fulfill the protection agreement, escorting Ellie all the way and protecting her from retreating, which is why Ellie has survived until now. However, now that they have reached their limit, the dragon seems to be tired of playing, so he directly stopped them, and after running for a day and a night, the remaining five people are all physically and mentally exhausted, and there is no way to do it.
"Captain, it looks like we're going to die here." One of the archers raised his bow to the dragon and smiled at Sodra beside him, saying that it was already this time, and they had seen it too. Mercenaries have to face threats to their lives at all times, and they have been prepared for this when they choose this path. And now they still abide by the rules of mercenaries at the last moment of their lives, and protect their clients to the end, so it can be said that there are no regrets.
The four of them looked at each other, and although they didn't say much, they all understood what they were going to say to each other. The regimental commander Sodra slowly raised the sword in his hand and said, "Come on, fight until the last moment!" ”
Although the scene was very touching, several people couldn't help but tremble when a huge shadow appeared above their heads, blocking out the sunlight. The huge dragon suppressed several people who couldn't even catch their breath, and just holding the weapon in their hands felt like they had exhausted all their strength, and they wanted to attack? I can't take a single step if I want to. It was an atmosphere bordering on despair.
Ellie was sitting on the ground at this time, although she was a knight, but she was still too young to experience this kind of scene at all. Looking at the four backs standing in front of her, Ellie was ashamed now, she knew that she was going to die, but she should also stand in front of her and die with a few people, instead of thinking about sitting on the ground like this, this is really not like a knight. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stand up at all because of her weak legs, and this was the first time she discovered her weakness.
In the midst of such desperation, Ellie saw the dragon slowly lower its head, a red flame burning from its mouth, and it was clear that the next dragon's breath would kill everyone here.
At the critical moment, several people didn't notice that a huge black shadow next to them flew towards this side at high speed, it was Linton's Susanenghu.
At this time, Linton searched around, and finally found the dragon. Of course, he was also very happy to see Long Linton, but soon he also discovered Ellie. Ellie's still alive is indeed good news, at least it's a lot easier to explain to Klose, but not yet, the dragon here is about to breathe fire.
"!" Of course, Linton couldn't just look at it, he operated Susanoo to grab his body directly, and then threw it in front of him, Linton accelerated violently and flew straight towards the dragon.
"The seventh gate of the Eight Gates Dunjia is shocking, open!" Linton charged up and opened the seventh door directly, the blue steam of his whole body exploded, only to see a blue light rushing directly to the dragon's jaw, Linton clenched his right fist and struck directly upward, "Uppercut!" ”
With a loud "bang", the entire dragon soared directly into the air, and its huge body directly turned around in the air, and then smashed to the ground.
This exaggerated scene made Sodra and the others stunned in place, what is the situation? Someone came and knocked a dragon flying with one punch? That's not true.
Before they could react, a figure suddenly landed in front of them, and the back happened to be the fallen dragon, and everyone looked at Linton who fell from the sky, and suddenly had an urge to kneel down for the big guy.
"Ellie, it's okay." Linton said directly to Ellie behind him.
Lin ...... Mr. Linton? Ellie was stunned for a moment, then suddenly recognized Linton. Of course, this title was also discussed between the two, and before Ellie called Linton a great Merlot or a sword master or something, but after hearing the headache, Linton asked her to change it.
"You're really a headache." Linton said, "Do you know how much trouble it is to find you?" ”
"Hug ...... I'm sorry, Mr. Linton is here, did he hear from the princess? Ellie asked anxiously, looking worried about the princess's situation.
"yes, but that's been settled over there." Linton said, "The princess has already controlled the situation, for now, all I need to do is take you and the Dragon Blood Sword Grass back." ”
"That's great." Ellie was finally relieved a lot, "But the dragon's blood sword grass, I don't know ...... yet"
Before he finished speaking, a roar suddenly sounded, and Linton turned his head to see that the dragon on the ground was slowly getting up, and its anger could be heard from its roar, and it seemed that it was completely enraged by Linton.
"Mr. Linton, what should I do?" Ellie stood up, and Linton's arrival seemed to ease her fear and despair at once, and at this point she also found herself regaining her mobility, and immediately ran to Linton's side.
"Small scenes." Linton said casually, although it sounds a little blowing, the dragon is still called a small scene? But I don't know why Ellie was completely relieved and full of security when she heard this.
"Hmm......" Linton was thinking about how to ravage the dragon, when suddenly he remembered something. Didn't I have a reward when I came back before, the second tail and the brigade, Linton didn't have time to manage before, and almost forgot. Now I see that the dragon Linton originally meant to grab a strip as a pet, after all, it's rare, but when I think about it, I seem to have a pet, and I remember the two tails.
Thinking of this, Linton suddenly began to seal: "That's it, you guys fight first, see if the dragon is powerful or the tailed beast is powerful, and if you win, you will be my pet after you win." “
After speaking, Linton directly pressed his right hand on the ground: "Psychic technique!" ”
