Chapter 46: Confrontation

However, just two seconds before the elemental flames erupted, Luna, who had been staying on the thorns behind the black dragon's neck, had already spoken: "Attention, Fireball Technique, it's the heart that is locked. ”

Caesar's eye mask blinked, and with his forelimbs as support, he twisted his waist and flicked his tail, drifted in place, and used his battering ram-like tail to overturn the entangled close soldiers, and then used all his strength to move to the left, moving a distance of nearly seven meters in one second.

The next moment, the magical aura whizzed past the ears with elemental fireballs, and the castration was unabated, completely unaffected by the air resistance, and disappeared into the deep darkness in the distance, and it was not until a long time later that a thunderous explosion could be heard there.

"Archmage."

Caesar's whisper and Luna's exclamation sounded at the same time, he had long guessed that eighty percent of this army had spellcasters, and he was prepared, and the reason why he did not use the breath ability from a long distance at the beginning of the attack was also because he was afraid that the flame and frost would be blocked by the other party.

However, what he didn't expect was that this person turned out to be a highly accomplished archmage.

A regular army of more than a thousand people, with thirty knights and an archmage, is just a guess to catch the wind and shadows, as for it?

Roy's caution is evident.

At the same time that Caesar redefined the power of the enemy, the movements of the black dragon also blew up the cognition of humans, this! What's going on with the black dragon's smooth movements? Stunts?

A giant dragon that is not known for its speed, but it doesn't use magic, and it just dodges a fireball with its body! Caesar's impact on the Eladians is probably similar to the feeling of an earthling when they see a turtle suddenly run as fast as a cheetah.

This dragon is terrifying!

The world is crazy!

As for the most shocked among the human beings, the initiator of the fireball technique, the caster's "Disturbing Spell" was still ready to go, and the staff was half held high, but the whole person was already stunned, looking at the black dragon that attacked again, and fell into a state of stupor.

As an acquired spellcaster, almost every mage is a polymath with a wealth of knowledge and knowledge of all aspects of Eladia.

In his mind, the dragon would never be able to perform such an action.

Without regard for magic, dragons are not as quick and precise as mammals, and their muscles are less active, and it takes a long time to spot danger and mobilize muscle groups.

"It's not a dragon at all!"

Thinking about it, the caster began to construct the spell again: "Catch it first." ”

Compared to the mage who was always in a state of thought, Roy's reaction was much quicker, the young man's ability to accept new things was far higher than the old stubborn next to him, and he became more and more cautious after seeing the black dragon's abilities.

Also unaffected is the commander of the army, keeping calm is the most basic quality of the commander, although the black dragon showed off the sky, but the leader is still motionless, and gives orders in an orderly manner.

"Throw!"

Upon discovering the incredible hardness of the black dragon scale armor, the commander immediately changed his strategy and motioned for the soldiers armed with ordinary crossbows to step back, allowing a spear-wielding thrower to take their place.

At the same time, board carts covered by black cloth were pushed onto the battlefield.

Caesar had thought it was the army's food or something, but it wasn't until the curtain was lifted that he realized he was wrong—it was a series of heavy weapons with a dark metallic sheen.

Bed crossbow.

The world is crazy, Caesar also wants to think like this, he thought Roy was a cautious careerist, who knew that the other party was a madman at all, and even pulled the bed crossbow used for siege-

Or a full ten!

If it weren't for Roy's shocked face, he would have even thought that all this was designed, guessing that the other party was ambushing him.

Caesar kept the rhythm of attacking and breathing, and did not rush directly to attack the spellcaster and Roy, he knew that Roy and the spellcaster were indeed the most important link in the army, but they were also the most heavily protected link.

If he really rushes in to kill people, not to mention whether he can touch the other party or not, in the quagmire of knives and guns, he will definitely not be able to get out alive.

Caesar was not originally aiming at them.

The black dragon roamed the edge of the formation, relying on his strength and speed to control the tempo and ensure that he would not be surrounded by the knights and cavalry.

But even so, the black dragon gradually suffered from difficulties

Caesar's reckless attacks caused great trouble, as neither the crossbow nor the spear were ordinary weapons, but were enchanted with armor-piercing and designed to deal with thick-skinned dragons and giants.

No matter how thick the armor on his body was, it would be difficult to withstand such a beating.

At this time, Caesar had already suffered a lot of wounds, but this attack, he directly or indirectly caused the death of nearly 200 soldiers, and the army suffered heavy losses.

That's enough.

The archmage was already rubbing a spell, and the crossbow arrows and javelins with armor-piercing effects were overwhelming. The mission had been overfulfilled, and Caesar was afraid that his life would be in danger if he continued to fight, so he prepared to retreat and set out for the next plan.

"Roar!"

The black dragon roared, opened its mouth and spat out a huge wall of ice, drawing a path, spreading its huge wings before the defense was broken by the enemy mage, soaring into the sky and beginning to flee.

"Bang, bang!"

After only a second, the wall of ice shattered under the disintegration technique, and the knights turned their horses and prepared to pursue.

"I'll go too."

The mage grabbed the horse's belly and said to Roy before leaving, "I must catch that dragon." ”

As an archmage of the human world, he could not worry about Roy's orders, and he was full of interest in that strange dragon beast, and wanted to capture it and study it well.

Looking at the black dragon that was fading away in the dawn sun, Roy's eyes flickered.

The actions of any intelligent creature are supported by the underlying purpose behind them, and he does not believe that this is just a simple attack.

What is the purpose of the black dragon? Is it just a show of force and killing a few of your own soldiers?

No way.

As the mastermind behind the Stone Crow Clan, it will never be just for this ridiculous reason to give up the greatest advantage hidden in the shadows and expose it to the opponent.

That guy is not an ordinary dragon, he is cunning and clever to the extreme.

Roy thought that he had sent a prospector to investigate the caves in the Duru Basin, and it had been revealed that there was no gold mine at all—the orcs had placed the gold there from nowhere in order to lure him to the Flame Curse.

The same is true of Ann Ryan's death.

It's all designed to show you the orc pulp and make a trade request.

I was played by the black dragon from the beginning.

Then, considering that the other party is so calculating, this is by no means an impromptu attack, the appearance and escape of the black dragon must have a plan, and there may be one chain of traps behind this, and those orcs who have not shown up may be secretly ambushed somewhere.

Roy's mind was racing to make these judgments.

However, the opportunity is fleeting, and he can't and will never let the other party leave in style after showing off his power - he must win back a city.

"Wayne."

Roy decisively called out to his cronies and calmly ordered, "You are responsible for leading people to hunt down that black dragon." ”

"Be careful, don't let the troops be pulled away, those knights must slow down, they must stay in the same array as the cavalry riders, if you encounter an ambush orc on the way, give up the pursuit, and kill all the miscellaneous first."

He used two musts, and the words seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth.

"But the ...... of the adults" the rider named Wayne was embarrassed: "Those riders ......"

The Thirty Knights were not Roy's direct troops, but Count Brando's own soldiers.

For the earl's sake, they might have some respect for Roy, but it would be foolish to let them listen to a squire.

"Take it."

Fortunately, Roy also knew this, took off the pendant from his neck, and handed the Brando family emblem to his cronies: "Don't forget what I said." ”

"And, you-"

Seeing his cronies ride away, he pointed to the attendant beside him again: "Go and inform Catus and let him withdraw from the wilderness with the kobold clan and the gnolla clan!" Don't let the natives know that there's a dragon here. That's the top priority, do it now! ”

"Leave half of the men to check the wounded, clean up the battlefield, increase the intensity of reconnaissance, and guard these ten bed crossbows for me."

It was only then that a cold light bloomed in Roy's pupils: "The rest of the people follow me and go to the Stone Crow Clan immediately!" If the black dragon wants to ambush the people who attack me, I'll smash its lair first! ”
