Chapter 50: The Second Battle (1)
In the ongoing exchanges, Caesar had gained a considerable understanding of Roy's troops, which were well-trained and prohibitive, and indeed considered a rare elite.
But apart from the thirty knights and one archmage, they still couldn't leave the realm of mortals in the end.
This made the troops have a great hidden danger, and with the passage of time, the cavalry entangled with the black dragon obviously showed a lack of stamina, and the physical consumption was serious.
If it weren't for the existence of the caster, Caesar would have been able to wipe them out entirely.
Why don't you give it a try?
The black dragon hovered in the sky, looking down at the dense ants of humans below, there was a brief hesitation, his own state is not bad, after all, after two genetic modifications, the attributes of all aspects of the body are much better than the real dragon of the same year, I don't know how much better, the energy is still abundant, and the wound pierced by the heavy crossbow gun has also coagulated to stop bleeding, and his movement is no longer restricted.
Then give it a try.
After much consideration, although there was no help from the fairy of the forest, Caesar finally decided to attack again.
After all, after his repeated roundabouts and harassments, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry has dropped by more than one point, and Caesar has no reason to give up this opportunity.
If you want to get high returns, but don't take risks, how can there be so many pie-in-the-sky good things in the world.
If this cavalry force can be routed, the entire force of the opposing party will suffer a serious blow, and if Roy is sensible enough, he may choose to stop the loss immediately and abandon the war.
……
Archmage Anthony sat on a gray-and-white striped horse, his staff sparkling with red sapphires in his hand, squinting and looking up at the clouds.
He saw a gray-black figure rushing straight out of the looming mist, flapping its huge black-red wings, sweeping away the surrounding clouds and mist, and then began to dive down at high speed.
"Can't help it?"
Anthony smiled and casually applied a "fearless brilliance" to his cavalry, and by the way, the war horses under their seats were also shrouded.
It seems that the black dragon has an indomitable momentum this time, which is completely different from the previous cautious temptation and harassment, and it seems to be planning to move seriously.
"Spread out! Get ready to meet the enemy! ”
The temporary commander named Wayne shouted an order, in fact, there was no need for him to say that even though these elite soldiers were very tired, their vigilance did not decrease at all, and they spontaneously realized the danger and immediately began to look for a position to meet the enemy and prepare for battle.
Even the well-informed and knowledgeable Archmage Anthony would still be amazed by the hideous and fierce appearance of the black dragon in front of him—it was the beauty of pure strength, the thick black scale armor, the textured jaw that protruded as if it were made of steel, and the horns that stretched out from front to back and right, and three distinct breaths, all of which showed the strangeness and strength of this black dragon.
With strength alone, this black dragon was probably not much weaker than an adult red dragon of the same year as it.
But these are not the point, what really makes Anthony uneasy is that the guy in front of him has not cast a spell yet.
As an adult true dragon, this is not normal.
Therefore, Anthony has always maintained a high degree of vigilance, and his nerves have collapsed, fearing that this clever and cunning black dragon is deliberately paralyzing himself, holding back his big move, waiting for the time to be ripe, and wants to strangle everyone with an unprecedented dragon language magic.
That's when their goal arrived.
"Roar!"
Caesar locked onto the landing spot, folded his wings in mid-air, and swooped straight into the front of the Knights, smashing it down like a meteorite, using the force of the impact to inflict as much damage as possible.
He was not yet able to fight like an adult dragon, and given the large and fragile nature of his batwings, he would rather land in close combat than hover at a low altitude.
When he landed, the battle began.
The black dragon roared, its hammer-like tail swept through a knight, the fragile armor that had been corroded for years to crumble because it couldn't absorb such power, and in the sound of steel cracking, the thorny tail sarcoma slapped the knight's chest, smashing his internal organs into a mess of mud—
In short, it's a spike.
However, this army was not a good match either, and while Caesar tried his best to kill one man in an instant, the human counterattack followed.
"Bang, bell......"
In just two seconds, at least five weapons of different styles slammed into Caesar's body at the same time, bursting with blazing sparks, and some even tore through the solid scale armor, leaving wounds on his body.
These knights were obviously not of the same energy level as the freeriders and cavalrymen, and the knights were physically stronger, faster, and much more powerful than ordinary soldiers in terms of strength and reflexes.
However, the xenomorph black dragon in front of them is also a good hand at hand-to-hand combat, and this guy's body is obviously not as sensitive to pain as other real dragons, so it is almost impossible to make this guy howl in pain with a single knife, it will only make him more fierce and rampage through the crowd.
In fact, for Caesar, adding a few more wounds is at best just a little more blood, this black dragon doesn't particularly care, as long as it doesn't touch the skull, sac, heart and other fatal points, injuries like this are completely acceptable.
What really made him wary was the caster sitting on his horse.
"Arcane Missile!"
While Caesar was thinking, the archmage had already raised his staff lightly, and in one fell swoop, he directly omitted the steps of building a spell model and locking on the target, and instantly sent a spell.
It is also one of the Three Treasures of the Spellcaster, but it is performed by Anthony, which is very different from the arcane missiles cast by Anrien, they are whistling, and the power is amazing, tearing through the air and making a sharp beep.
Fortunately, after Caesar entered, most of his attention was on the caster, and although he had now lost Luna's ability to foresee, his reaction would not be much slower than before, even though he was on high alert.
As many as twelve elemental missiles, locking on Caesar who is entangled with the knight in all directions.
The black dragon smacked his lips, his body had been transformed many times, and he had a completely different ability to act than ordinary creatures, this huge monster faced the caster, but its body ran backwards for a distance of nearly ten meters, leaving enough time for himself to react, and then dodging the arcane missiles one by one.
Throughout, though, the Arcane Missile was just a façade.
Anthony had already seen the black dragon's abilities and knew that it was impossible to do much damage to it with basic spells alone, so when the first elemental bullet whizzed away, he had already begun to build a spell model.
"Flames!"
This is the killing move hidden behind the scenes, although Anthony wants to smash this black dragon to death with a fire explosion, but it is helpless that only legendary mages can cast spells, and the flame gushing is his limit.
In the next second, it was as if they saw a demon formed purely by the fire elemental, roaring in pain, and with unparalleled speed, it rushed straight at the black dragon that had just finished a set of dodge maneuvers, overtaking the crossbow arrows and javelins flying in the air along the way, and devouring them completely.
