Chapter 640: Ambition
"I say, old man, how the hell is this mechanism opened?!" Finally, as Isbon was struggling to resist, a voice came to his ears. The voice sounded like heaven to him.
"Delphin! Go show the Dragonborn! The pattern of the three assassination dragons is the code to drop the drawbridge! Ispen turned to Delphine, who was already not far from the end of the road, and then immediately turned around and threw a fireball diagonally, while rolling to the right corner. His series of movements just dodged a thick bolt of lightning. At this time, he also knew that he couldn't blindly resist, and only by dodging and attacking immediately could he give Dracula and Delphine enough time to open the mechanism and put down the drawbridge.
The hesitation was hasty, and the accuracy of this fireball was not very good. However, fortunately, the landing point of the attack was not very far from the mage's position, and the impact of the fireball explosion gave him some trouble.
"So after passing through this drawbridge, there should be a mechanism that can be lowered and pulled up before the crane, right?" Seeing that Delfin, whom he hated, was going to come over and study this mechanism with him, Dacula shook his ears in displeasure.
"Huh?" Ispen turned his head to look at Dacula in some surprise, nodded before turning to concentrate on the enemy. Although I don't understand why Dacula asked this, it is true that according to the records of the classics I read at the beginning, there is indeed a mechanism in it.
"Yes......" Dacula glanced at Delphine, who had already begun to move the pillars, and pursed the corners of his lips, before turning and slashing at the stone deck with a pair of sharp claws. With the inertia of his body's impact, Dacula turned around and reached the bottom of the stone bridge.
Since the stone bridge was erected at this time, he could see the dark hole on the opposite side from this direction.
“uld!” With a roar, Dacula's figure slammed forward, as if he had been pushed hard from behind. It was this distance that made the cat man fall to the opposite hole very lightly.
Through the vines hanging from the hole, Dacula smugly glanced at Delphine, who was still spinning the mechanism there, and then put his hand on the lever next to him, and pulled it off with a thud.
Although the lever feels a little jerky when pulled due to time issues, and the situation of the stone bridge falling down looks a bit difficult, but fortunately, the whole set of mechanisms is not a big problem, and it can still be fully operated.
Delphine didn't even notice what Dracula was doing, she didn't want to rely on Dracula to get it done. It was only when the pillars were put back in place that she noticed the cat-people who had reached the passage over there. Of course, when Delphine noticed the cat man, he naturally looked like his nostrils were facing the sky, which caused the middle-aged old lady to frown.
"Isbon! It's time to withdraw! Delphine herself didn't have time to look at Dakura's swaggering appearance now, and when she saw that the stone bridge was lowered, she glanced at Dakula and immediately shouted to Ispen, who was blocking the enemy behind her.
"Okay!" Isbon, which was already in a mess, was even more embarrassed at this time. Fortunately, he did not suffer any fatal blows. Relying on the corners of the terrain, this guy has turned the pursuit war into a war of attrition. Several shocks from the Oathbreakers were blocked by him with a wall of fire.
In response to Delphin's shout, Ispen decisively unleashed another wall of fire on the ground. However, compared to the previous wall of fire used to block the soldiers' rampage, this time the wall of fire is obviously more powerful. It can be clearly seen that Ispen, who was only a little mentally weak, wilted after releasing this wall of fire. Fortunately, the effect of the wall of fire was obvious, and in the sound of hunting, the flames took advantage of the momentum and burned two or three meters high, sealing the entire passage alive. Obviously, Isben had left a hand before, and he was preparing for the current break.
……
Far away in the small town of Ibasteide.
Derryman walked to Wei Xu's side, who had just finished discussing the details with Baggrove, with a small scroll of note. The letter had been taken from Raven, apparently from a scout sent out on a mission.
"It's done!" Looking at the short few pieces of paper in his hand, Wei Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief. As he spoke, he handed the note in his hand to Baglouf on the side.
"What? Lord Leila agreed? Baghlouf looked at Wei Xu's expression and guessed a thing or two, and he asked while taking the things Wei Xu handed over.
"Well, she didn't agree at first, but then Harald came and persuaded her,......" Wei Xu said, and involuntarily let out a sigh of relief. Her son has much more courage and vision than she does...... I really don't understand why this old woman still doesn't give way......"
"There is such a thing as lust...... Now she was lucky to be able to listen to Harald's words......" Listening to Wei Xu's words, Baglouf gently crumpled the note in his hand......
Cloud, unknown.
"Roar! It's time to go to war! Let that human half-moon be the first place for our men to be consumed by the flames! The black dragon shouted loudly from the protruding boulder to the dozen or so dragons crawling below.
"Wait...... I'm against it! As he spoke, a dragon lower down suddenly spoke.
With this opening, the air instantly froze.
"What? You're going against me...... The Great Son of Destruction, Alduin? "Black Dragon obviously didn't expect anyone to openly oppose his decision in this place. This represents an unstable position! It means that there is a dragon who feels that he has the strength to covet his position!
Alduin, the great black dragon, said as he slowly flapped his wings and descended from the sky, slowly landing in front of the dragon who spoke out in disapproval. Seeing this, the surrounding dragons made way for the two dragons one by one. Among the dragons, this open opposition to defiant authority is no different from openly declaring oneself to covet the position of chief. Remember the last time a dragon dared to provoke Alduin? That seems like a thousand years ago...... At that time, Alduin had just killed his predecessor and sat in this position.
Who was the one who challenged Alduin in the first place? None of the dragons present remembered his name...... But his fate is remembered by all dragons. It's as if everything happened yesterday...... The ground was full of blood and minced flesh...... No complete body larger than a meter in diameter could be found!
As the huge black figure fell, the red dragon on the ground, which had trembled and bowed down, finally overcame this fear. He suddenly raised his head, stared straight at Alduin and said, "I saw you return from a serious injury yesterday, and I saw the decay of your strength. Alduin, you are venting your anger and instructing us dragon legions...... Your strength is no longer what it used to be, and you are no longer worthy to command us in the position of leader...... I'm going to take your place! ”
