Chapter XVII: Antecedents and Consequences
"As the offspring of an irresistible tyrant in the sky, this little wound is nothing." The latter stood on tiptoe and flew back, but it still couldn't catch up with the cold claws of the enemy.
"Poof! Burst! An invisible but solid force field hindered the continuation of his offensive...... Taking advantage of the situation that the opponent's gate was open, the cold iron fist hit the dragon man's chest like raindrops.
Under a series of blows, the torso of the crimson dragon man seemed to be covered with scarlet frost, and the blood oozing from the broken scales was directly frozen. Although this may seem like a temporary treatment to help the enemy stop the bleeding quickly. But the cold magical energy in the fist spread through the blood vessels to the crimson dragonman's body.
Although the red dragon bloodline is not as susceptible to cold damage as the real red dragon, the discomfort of being rooted in the bloodline to the cold cannot be changed. The crimson dragon man in front of him was frozen by the cold air that invaded the bone marrow, and his movements that were originally about to go to the front line also slowed down...... As a fellow dragonborn, he knew how powerful the dragon's blood in his heart was giving him.
What's more, the one in front of me is still a professional 'disciple of the dragon' who is known for his tempering* and spirit...... And it was only with the help of the arcane that he won by surprise to achieve the results in front of him. If it was a head-to-head confrontation, I am afraid that I would not be the opponent of the brutal Crimson Dragonman in front of me.
"Che Guevara, this guy is in your hands." And the Crimson Dragonman, who had become immobile due to the frost, was powerless to resist the whip leg kicked out by the other party's fierce kick.
"Bang-". The latter looked at the prey that flew towards him with red eyes, as if he was ready to devour alive the enemy who had just killed his relatives and friends.
"Nope! No! No! I'm not going to agree with you doing that. With this sound, the crimson dragon who had been flying in mid-air was out of its original orbit as if it had been caught by something.
Suddenly, a figure descended on the roof of Sanoah's house. With the turn of this guy's wrist, the crimson dragon man, who had difficulty moving, landed firmly beside him.
The same blunt beak, thick eyebrows, distinctive cheeks and ears. A crown covered with fine scales of varying lengths, and a thick, sticky head. And the reptilian pupils, and the creature that appeared in front of him was a dragonman - if there was any difference between him and the crimson dragonman before him. The most obvious is the pair of deerskins he wears on his hands.
Looking at his companion who needed a little trimming to be able to regain his combat effectiveness. The new dragon man said, "Although I don't like this rude, arrogant, unaesthetic guy either. But since he came out with me, I had to guarantee the safety of this guy's life. ”
"Is this your bad taste? Is it necessary to give such an explanation since it is an enemy? ”。
The gloved dragonman stretched out his index finger and shook it, "No! No! No! Such pointless battles can actually be avoided. ”
"Are you fools when we are? Even if this kind of talk is to deceive children, not many will be fooled. ”。 It seems that he is guarding against the possible hidden hand of the dragon man in front of him - it can be seen that the guy is also a user of natural energy. In the face of the strange and unknown abilities that may arise,.
"I never lie!" The dragonman who withdrew his finger held his chest high, "As long as you hand over the platinum altar, not only us, but also the mercenaries and wanderers we have hired will leave with us. After all, that's all we have to do. Wouldn't it be beneficial for both sides to reduce unnecessary casualties? ”
"Cunning excuses, ridiculous statements. I don't even know when the red dragon's bloodline became like the green dragon, though you have to be arrogant. ”
"Nope! No! No! At this point, Mr. Sainoah, you are wrong again, I am not arrogant, but the attitude that you inferior bloodlines should have. You can call me Barasta the Noble. "The gloved dragonman has a look on my face that I can forgive you.
, slashed directly at the body of an intruder who tried to take advantage of the opportunity to approach him. The roaring tomahawk tore through the metal rings one by one. The mercenary who had been cut down saw that the situation was not good, and kicked backwards - and flew back with a menacing axe. Although the injury was not light, it can be regarded as picking up a life.
"You started the fight, you can stop when you want to fight, and there is nothing so cheap in the world." And don't expect to wear down my body with cannon fodder like that, I'll clean them up before then. ”
"You barbarian, don't stand there and talk big, you don't have the ability of the noble knight to break the formation, and you are not afraid of blowing up the cowhide. Otherwise, with only the mercenaries and wanderers we hired before, how could they trap you in the house and not dare to take a single step. "The 'Disciple of the Dragon', who had finally survived the freezing effect on his body, sneered after spitting out blood on his chest.
Oh, yes! If they could really have such a powerful power, the Sainoa family would not have been trapped in the mansion by the silver shark and the black dagger for so many days...... But what about the rest of the Sanoa family?
In addition to these two brothers, the other warriors of the Sainoa family. Either they are away from home or have limited talent. Or more than experience. Once the breakthrough is made, even if there are two people to take care of them, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties. Besides, not all dragon veiners have the talent to become warriors. There are still a lot of ordinary people in the Sainoa family.
After losing their strongest combat power, the remaining members of the Sainoa family will immediately become toothless tigers, and even if they defend the mansion, they will be attacked by the silver shark and the black dagger in a short time! Watching your loved ones die......
Barasta began to sing and reconcile with the 'Disciple of the Dragon' sitting on the ground, "Even those men before were enough to force you to retreat into defense, and now with our powerful combat power. Do you think there is any hope of victory if you continue to resist? ”
"It's disgusting how you bastards behave." "The Platinum Altar is a treasure that has been passed down for hundreds of years by our SaNoah. More importantly, it is the cornerstone of our faith in our Lord. Unless you are stepping on our corpses, you degenerates do not even want to see it. The Sanoa family will defend it to the last man. ”
"It's nice to say. But is that actually the case? Didn't that white gold altar be taken from you once 6o years ago? Was the Sainoa family really all killed in battle at that time? If that's the case. Where did you guys come from? Barasta borrowed his own words to stimulate the supreme combat power of the two Sainoa families. Although he didn't expect it to distract the two seasoned foes. But it is possible to give it a try in demoralizing the other side.
If Barrett was here, after listening to this passage and combining the information he had obtained before, he should be able to sort out the causes and consequences of the so-called Black Dragon Treasure.
6o years ago, a black dragon attacked the Sainoa family, who originally didn't live in Falling Hammer City, out of belief in the Dragon God of Sin or for some other reason. With its own strong strength. It probably didn't take much effort for that black dragon to capture the platinum altar that was a religious artifact of the dragon god of goodness.
Of course, it also benefited from the crushing power of the black dragon and the devastating battle. The result of separating the winner and the loser in a short period of time prevented the Sanoa family's vitality from suffering a catastrophe.
After accomplishing the set goal, the black dragon ransacked the money and treasures of the Sainoa family. Ignoring the ants in his eyes, he left the former site of the Sainoa family and returned to his nest in the swampy wetland.
The Sainoa family, which suffered heavy losses after that, did not give up on regaining the platinum altar, which was extremely important to both the family and the faith. Perhaps through an unknown connection to the Platinum Altar, the Sanoa family later confirmed the exact location of the Black Dragon's lair.
Don't think that finding a dragon's nest is a simple matter. Black dragons are creatures that prefer swamps and mires with deep, murky water, dense trees, and foul-smelling plants. Fighting in the water gives them an advantage, and secondly, the growing and decaying flora and fauna common in swamps help mask the pungent sour smell of the dragon and make it easier for them to hide.
Therefore, only a swamp deep enough for a dragon to hide can meet the requirements of the black dragon to build a nest. What's more, the black dragon likes to keep the main entrance to the lair underwater, and hide it under dense vegetation or mud walls, while he can swim to pass it. Plus the masking of spells. Few people have been able to confirm the exact location of the dragon's lair within hundreds of square kilometers of dragon activity.
After confirming the location, the Sainoa family, knowing that their strength was not enough to complete the task, began to look for foreign help. After some screening, I found the Marquis Malkin's family, which was closest to the black dragon and had the ability to slay the dragon. And the Malkin family pulled in the Boreham family for insurance, and after a period of careful preparation, this led to the dragon slaying battle that was later completed.
The rest of the matter was already known to everyone, and most of the treasures and corpses naturally flowed into the treasure troves of the two nobles. And the Sanoa family has also recaptured the platinum altar that is so important to their family.
Although the white gold altar must have a very unique role as a religious curiosity. But because it's a religious artifact, it's definitely very restrictive in terms of use. This is also an important reason why the strength of the Isai Noah family has been able to preserve it intact to the present day!
It's a pity that the Dragon Church doesn't seem to be ready to let the Sanoa family live so comfortably. Their attempts to destroy or defile the Platinum Altar may not have gone away. After finding the right opportunity, the immediate action was initiated...... Even if the other party kept his promise, he knew that the Sainoa family's belief in the Dragon God of Good would not allow him to do so.
"If you want to fight, you will fight. What are you doing with so much nonsense. ”。
A cruel smile appeared on Barasta's face: "What do you think I just said this to you for?" Since you are killing yourself, we don't need to be stingy with the compensation for the silver shark. ”
And then with a wave of Barasta's hands, he waved it out of thin air. Like Barasta's dragon claws wrapped in deerskin gloves, invisible hands with synchronized movements are entangled and interfering with the movements of the two.
"Lord of the Demon Hand?" It seems that the next battle will not be easy to fight. ”
"Didn't you just rely on the mage's armor to plot against me? How is it your turn......" The 'disciples of the dragon', who had regained their feet, stimulated them with words again. "A descendant of an inferior metal dragon."
Although the wonderful drama on the roof of the building was scene after scene, Barrett and the others on the second floor were not idle. Barrett, who had a good position, finally blocked the attackers out of the window after the defenders gradually filled the gap.
And the pioneers who had already stormed the corridor before. Under the encirclement and suppression of the defenders of the Sainoa family, who were constantly gathering, they soon turned into corpses in one place. It's a pity that Barrett and the others have just gained a foothold behind the window. From downstairs there was the sound of a buzzing bowstring.
Then, like locusts, arrows swarmed towards the four windows. Barrett, who wielded the Mo knife in his hand so much that he couldn't get into the water, knocked down these arrows one by one. However, the other defenders next to him were not in great shape.
Although the scales on these silver-scaled warriors are comparable to iron armor, they still have some weak links that cannot be taken care of. Under the greeting of those mercenaries in a set of three shots. Almost everyone was injured. Fortunately, these injuries are not fatal, but they will still have some impact on combat power.
"These guys from Silver Shark are training well! actually has such a skillful siege routine. It seems that their chief leader is preparing to attack the large mercenary group. Looking at the mercenaries downstairs with bows and arrows, Barrett made such an assessment. Of course, the mercenaries in front of them are not really elite, and if the defending side can organize a decent counterattack, the opponent's rhythm will definitely be disrupted. What can be written is Barrett and the others in the Sainoa family and the aborigines around them, where do they have the ability to fight back!
Under the cover of a rain of arrows, the intruders climbed the window again......
Barrett could clearly feel the astonishing heat enveloping in the flames passing past him. The surging dragon fire was like a blooming peony, and at once it enveloped all the attackers who had climbed to the second floor.
A scream sounded again, and although the dragon fire in front of him had not yet reached the level of molten gold calcining, it was still fatal to flesh and blood mortals. There were also many arrows stuck in the ground that were also emptied by the dragon fire - although the arrows were still buried in the cracks of the stone blocks in the floor, the arrows were all carbonized in the dragon fire and carried away with the wind.
"Then you resist. I need to brew for a while. You have to take a break before you can regroup.
"Isn't the number of people on the other side much more than the 6o people expected before? Even if there are peripheral members, the gap is not so big! Barrett, who rushed forward again, yelled and cursed.
"Who knows! Maybe they're coming to help. We're stuck in this here anyway, and we don't have any outside information. Laloe, who was following Barrett, looked at Barrett with a puzzled look, "Captain, why did you suddenly become confused." ”
"It's not that I'm confused! It's that you know how difficult it is! Have all the guards been bought? With so many unstable factors, Falling Hammer City dares to put it in? Aren't you afraid that the lord will know about the autumn queen's accounting? Barrett asked rhetorically as he slashed at the palm of his hand that had just been scratched on the windowsill, and then slashed him sideways to the guy's screams.
Barrett, who has no change in experience on the character panel, exclaims, "I'll go!" This guy is actually inexperienced. ”
"Could it be that you didn't kill him?" Lalu asked after kicking the intruder who had just probed down the ladder.
"That guy isn't undead! There's no way the severed head is still alive. Barrett felt wrong, and immediately remembered something: "That's right! That guy should be a gamer just like us. This is the first time I've played against a player in a mission! ”
As soon as Barrett finished speaking, a pillar of white light mixed with a hint of blue suddenly lit up the night sky of Hammer City. (Pending renewals of recommended votes and monthly passes.) )
