Chapter 64: Blackwing's Lair Shilomar's Outbreak
In the halls of the Blackwing's Lair, the battle is heating up.
Although the coalition forces had the advantage, they could not open the situation for a while.
The Red Dragon Queen and the other three adult dragons fought with Valastaz, but they were unable to take Valastaz because of their scruples.
On the other hand, the ranged troops on the Alliance side had an absolute advantage with the help of two young dragons, Gianna, and a small number of mages.
However, in terms of melee forces, the royal knights and treasury guards that humans and dwarves are proud of are at a disadvantage in the face of the dragon beast legion, while several melee powerhouses Chaste Saint, Magni, and Claudia are blocked by Cromagus, Le Shrel, and Lagerzor, so that the battle is at a stalemate.
However, this stalemate will not last forever, after all, the coalition forces have an absolute advantage in strength, although the dragon beasts have the upper hand in close combat, but they lack a strong enough spellcaster after all, as time goes by, Gianna and the two young red dragons will play a greater and greater role, and sooner or later it will be enough for the dragon beast army to be unable to maintain.
"We have to break the situation as soon as possible, and we can't delay it until any time!"
Claudia, who was fighting with Lagerzor, was a little anxious, she didn't come here with her army to occupy the Blackstone Tower or simply win.
The biggest purpose of her visit this time was to capture Nefarian and other adult black dragons, and torture the reason and whereabouts of Varian's disappearance, so she called the Copperbeard Dwarf and the Red Dragon Legion to help.
But now, Nefarian didn't know where to run except for the appearance of urging Valastaz to disturb the red dragon when he started the war, and even other adult black dragons did not show up, which made Claudia feel extremely uneasy, she was worried that Nefarian and other black dragons would take advantage of the chaos to escape, you must know that the black dragon can transform spells, and when the time comes, it will be difficult to catch them with a huge black stone tower or a cat or a dog.
And even putting that aside, the casualties of the royal knights are a big reason why Claudia is eager to open the situation.
The Royal Knight is not the opponent of the Dragon Beast Legion in close combat, so even with the help of the Paladin and the Mage, they also keep falling in the engagement, the Royal Knight is the most powerful direct force at the hands of the royal family, and it is Claudia's guard day and night, she really doesn't want the Royal Knight to lose too much in this battle.
But Claudia's strength in front of Lagerzor is not weak, and the armor on her body has high magic resistance, and when Sdomka's special ability is ineffective against it, Claudia is difficult to win in a short time, and she can't help but think of other ways to break the game.
Clang!
The sound of sword clashing sounded, Claudia took advantage of the short gap to quickly scan the surroundings, the Red Dragon Queen's side still had no progress, Magni and Le Shreel's side were similar, as for the chaste saint, her side was faintly showing signs of defeat to Chlomagus, but relying on her strong body and quick recovery, she would not be easily defeated.
"Looks like they can't count on it either."
Claudia continued to think about countermeasures, but it didn't take long for the tide of the battle to change because of another person, the High Priestess Hiloma, who made the same judgment as Claudia: "We can't continue to drag it on, we must open the situation as soon as possible!" ”
Like Claudia, Shiloma came to the Blackstone Tower for a clear purpose, to track down the fragments of the Scepter.
Therefore, after the battle began, Shilomar did two things at first time, first she noticed that Nefarian was leaving, so she asked Brian to sneak up on Nefarian, and then she quickly approached the battlefield where the four red dragons were afraid that others could not avoid, and asked loudly about the whereabouts of the fragments of the Quicksand Scepter.
Valastaz was only physically uncontrollable, his mind was still awake from time to time, and his speech was not affected, and soon after Valastaz came to his senses, he gave an answer, confirming Shilomar's suspicion that the fragment of the Scepter of Quicksand had been snatched by Nefarian.
Knowing this, Shilomar was anxious to catch Nefarian for the last shard of the Scepter, but the stalemate prevented her from doing so, and with each minute of delay, Nefarian had the slightest chance of escaping with the Scepter of Quicksand.
At that time, if Nefarian escaped from here, it would be difficult to catch his tracks, and without the fragments of the quicksand scepter, the continent of Camlido did not know how long the turmoil would last, and how many people would die from the beetle plague.
With this anxiety, Shiloma soon couldn't help it, and after observing for a while, she stopped the priestess's healing work, and with each hand pulled out a magic two-handed longsword with a backhand behind her back, and rushed to Claudia's place with her legs.
A colorful dragon beast stood in front of her, and she deftly dodged the dragon beast's breath with her dexterous side, and followed the side of the dragon beast close to her body, and with a stab of her left hand, she accurately stabbed into the crotch that the dragon beast's plate armor could not protect.
"Whew!"
The colored drake let out a scream like a pig and fell to the ground, and Shiloma had already drawn her long sword to meet the other black drake, and this time, she first stabbed her sword along the plate armor joint of the black drakemon's knees, and after the black drake fell to the ground in pain, she simply slashed the drake beast on the spot with two swords in succession.
After killing the three drakes near Lagzor, Shiloma finally joined Claudia, who had already noticed the priestess's arrival, and although she was surprised by the sheer skill of Shiloma, she was quick to respond appropriately.
Claudia snapped, and Domka, clasped with both hands, slashed at Lagerzor, who once again raised his sword to meet Claudia's attack, this scene had happened dozens of times in the duel just now, but this time, Shiloma joined in.
Shiloma had no intention of confronting Lagerzor, and went straight to Lagerzor's back, who didn't pay much attention to the priestess's proximity at first, and had other royal knights who had tried to assist her queen in besieging the enemy during the battle with Claudia.
As with the royal knights, Ragzor instantly burned over, but Shilomar was not a pure warrior after all, and she whispered a prayer from Elune, a veil of white light enveloped her, shielding her from all the effects of dragonman magic.
"Beaded Fireball!"
Seeing that the first magic was ineffective, Ragzor released the second magic in a panic and tried to repel the opponent, but this time the two fireballs did not even touch the white light veil on Shiloma's body, and were shattered by the two long swords in Xiloma's hand, and now, the distance between the priestess and Ragzor was close to the battle.
Hiloma's twin swords stabbed out one after the other, stabbing at the junction of Ragzor's four legs and abdomen, where Lagzor's armor was weakest.
Snort!
The blood kept splashing, and Lagerzor yelled in pain, but he couldn't do anything, Xiloma was just stabbing the weak point of the armor, and Claudia in front of him was an artifact in his hand, if he turned to deal with Xiloma, the next move would probably be broken by Claudia's sword.
Shiloma stabbed Ragzor into all four legs with a sword, each sword inflicted severe pain and injuries on Lagzor, and from time to time a drake tried to come up to defend their general, but Shiloma slashed the drake with three or two swords.
The priestess's swordsmanship is very different from Claudia's, Claudia's swordsmanship is a standard knight's swordsmanship, wide open and closed, dignified, and her swordsmanship is based on grappling, the attack is very sharp, each blow is concise but deadly, that is the martial arts she has summarized and tempered in countless battles over the past tens of thousands of years, without a trace of superfluous changes.
As Hiloma singled out Lagerzore's four-legged attack, Lagerzol's actions were quickly affected, and it wasn't long before he could no longer keep up with Claudia's movements, and Claudia slashed through the thick Demon Plate and dragon scales on his chest, causing Lagerzor to fall to the ground after howling miserably.
Claudia gasped slightly, and Shilomar, who was next to her, proposed, "We must defeat this enemy as soon as possible, and now we will help Magni." ”
"Good!" Claudia replied, and the two began to move towards Magni's position, and along the way, no drake could stop the two of them, and in the process of fighting side by side, Claudia also deepened her understanding of Elune's priestess.
Elune's priestess, although she is a cleric, is by no means the same as the priest of the human Church of Light, and will only use divine spells to support or attack from a distance.
The selection of priestesses is very strict, each of them has received many years of martial arts training, in addition to summoning magic in wartime, they can also wear plate armor and weapons to fight, each of them is a very strong warrior, take Tyrande, Mavi, Santis and other priestesses, they are not weaker than any heroic warrior in terms of martial arts alone.
And the same is true of Xiloma beside Claudia, as a high priestess whose status is second only to the high priestess, her martial arts skills are not inferior to Santis and others, at this time she holds a two-handed long sword in each of her left and right hands, and the sword momentum is like a storm, and the dragon beasts in front of her are stabbed down by her one after another.
The two women advanced very fast, and soon approached the vicinity of Magni, and Le Shrell had some difficulty just dealing with Magni, and how could he fight against the three terrible melee fighters combined, and in a few strokes he was covered in bruises, and was killed by the three of them.
Le Shrell seemed to have a high status among the dragon beasts, and his death greatly shook the morale of the surrounding dragon beasts, and the addition of Magni, Claudia, and Xiloma strengthened the melee strength of the coalition side, and under the decrease and increase, the dragon beast army could no longer stop their opponents, and quickly retreated.
By this time, Claudia, Hiloma, and Magni were approaching the battlefield of Clomagus and the Chaste Virgin, and the three of them tried to join the others in besieging Clomagus, just as they had done to Lagerzor and Le Shrel.
But this time, they hit each other in the same way.
