Chapter 530: Scared Away
Bed crossbow ...... Destroyed after only one shot? This problem was something that Wei Xu hadn't considered in his tactical design, and it hadn't appeared in the past battle against the dragon! Because when was it not the time before that the dragon was killed directly after the bed crossbow shot without giving it a chance to fight back?!
This is the first time this has happened! The dragon is not a fool, he can tell what is the most threatening to him, he can choose his own target first, and even use some small tricks!
"Captain...... Is there any hope for us? Looking at the dragon that was in the air and ready to rush towards his team, the assistant of the captain of the guard asked him with a trembling voice. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"......" The captain of the guard was silent for a second, then glanced at the town behind him, and then said: "Formation!" Lure this big guy out of town! ”
But as soon as his voice fell, the sound of a crossbow bolt leaving the string rang out.
"Zheng!" It's a bed crossbow! Bed crossbow! And it's not just one, it sounds like several were launched at the same time!
Wait a minute...... Aren't our bed crossbows destroyed? The captain of the guard looked suspiciously in the direction of the attack, where two hundred men were appearing in the corner with five bed crossbows and a group of four trebuchets.
Just as the captain of the guard looked over, he also saw several mages rushing over to the fire on the other side, using ice wind magic to control the spreading fire.
It's support! Support from the main city! As the supreme commander of the town's guard forces, he knew that the town had built a magic circle that could teleport over long distances. I didn't expect this magic circle to play such a big role at a critical time!
Three of the five long arrows hit the guy's body when the dragon was in the air. Two of them hit the dragon in the abdomen, and one pierced the neck sideways. This kind of injury is estimated to be over at this time on other creatures, but on a creature with strong vitality like a dragon, it is only a serious injury.
"Roar!" The sneak attack clearly paid off, the dragon wailed, its flapping wings stopped in pain, and its huge body fell straight from the sky.
"Adjust the trebuchet and aim for the landing spot!" The leader of the heavily armed squad as a support shouted to the warriors operating the trebuchet behind. And these warriors are also skilled in adjusting the angle and range, waiting for the dragon to land.
But it didn't turn out as he expected, and just as the dragon was about to hit the ground, he suddenly twitched, and his wings regained their strength and fluttered and flew. At this time, the bed crossbow had not yet been wound, and the aiming direction of the trebuchet was definitely wrong. What's more, the three long arrows that just shot out were not chain arrows, just ordinary long arrows. Although the chain arrow was said to be able to contain the dragon, it was too heavy for the supporting team, so they had to leave it alone.
"Roar!" For the first time in the dragon's life, he retreated. These ants! These guys now have the power to hurt themselves! Before, he could show off his might here by destroying those powerful weapons, but now that this group of ants had come to reinforcements, he was afraid and hesitant for the first time.
Keep attacking? If you are killed by this group of ants, then you will really be laughed off by your fellow clans when you return to the dragon mound! Escape? Right! You can escape! Although this will inevitably lead to a reputation of being scared away by ants, at least it will not lose the chance to resurrect after dying at the hands of this group of ants!
Now that he had made up his mind, the dragon finally glared viciously at the red-armored ants below, and with a flick of its wings, it flew into the clouds.
"That guy...... Escaped? As they were preparing for a fierce battle, Yord and Laikath looked at the dragon that had disappeared into the clouds in amazement, their faces glazed over. I didn't expect to scare these guys away like this? That's a bit anticlimactic.
The cat man hiding in the alley reluctantly glanced at the fleeing dragon and cursed viciously: "Waste! Rubbish on both sides! What about the dignity of a dragon? I was scared away like that?! And this special meow Wei Xu's army is also a waste! I can't even keep a dragon! ”
As he walked swearing, Dacula gave a whistle. Dire came running from a distance, and as he passed by the cat-man, he leaped onto his horse. Walk away when no one is looking.
Of course, it is impossible to say that no one is paying attention. Just as the cat man was leaving, the inn door opened. The crowd hiding inside poured out. In the crowd, a cloaked Nord man smiled at Dacula's back and followed.
"That guy...... Escaped? "The guards of Ivastead are still in shock, and they are about to muster up the courage to participate in the dragon slaying cause, but the dragon actually escapes?!
Of course, most people, including civilians, are very happy about the dragon's escape, and a few people are a little regretful. After all, the dragon had already fallen to the bottom at that time, and if they could keep the dragon, then the Nords should have their name in the dragon-slaying fetty, but unfortunately this opportunity is now gone. Although the glory of defeating the dragon still belongs to them, this glory is really a little insignificant compared to the word dragon slaying.
"Long live your lord!" I don't know who was the first to shout this slogan. The slogan spread like a plague through the crowd, eventually turning into the shouts of the inhabitants of Ibastead around the warriors who had just driven the dragon away. If the people here didn't have much reverence for Wei Xu after Ivasted changed hands before, then now after the warriors of the Half Moon Leader defeated the dragon. The residents here finally initially recognized the existence of Wei Xu, the lord.
Half Moon City, the lord's longhouse.
"Hiss......" Wei Xu, who was watching the quarterly reports from various places at the table, suddenly covered his forehead in pain, with a headache! Intense pain!
"Boss......" Robben hurriedly stepped forward to help Wei Xu. However, he was quickly stopped by Wei Xu.
"Out of the way...... It's the same as the headache before,......" Wei Xu said, and he also felt the sharp pain that had come from the depths of his brain gradually move to his forehead. At this time, Wei Xu could clearly feel that a foreign object was squeezed out of his forehead by his body and his soul.
"Feeling better?" Robben watched the painful look on Wei Xu's face gradually disappear, and asked softly.
"Hmm...... This time, the pain came more intensely, but it went faster......" Wei Xu spread out his hand, and a grain of rice in his palm exuded a crystal clear luster. The strange thing is that Wei Xu didn't have the slightest wound on his forehead!
