Chapter 303: Have You Been Eaten by a Dragon?
"Dragons?" Danas and Muradin exclaimed in unison - dragons were indeed legendary creatures, but more importantly, for humans - dragons were now enemies on the side of the orcs.
Although the reason is unknown, it is completely certain that the red dragon has joined the side of the orcs and become the enemy of the human race-in the Baladin Bay and the town of Nanhai, the hordes of red dragons attacked the human army twice in succession, causing huge losses. At this time, the dragon appeared in the Dammod Fortress, which was definitely not good news for the combined forces of humans and dwarves in the city.
The crowd on the wall, including Ricks, who noticed the situation, and Toruń and Isma, who were standing behind, all flocked to the edge of the wall and looked out. In the blue and white moonlight, between the burning woods and the fortress of Dammod, a huge red dragon could be clearly seen flying in the direction of the fortress, it flew very fast, at least faster than the speed of the war horse, the wings of the flamboyant obscured a large area of the night sky, the soaring posture made everyone's hearts chill - the fire in the woods, could it be related to this red dragon? So next, is it going to turn Dammod Fortress into a sea of fire?
"Damn it, ballista ready!" Muradin, who glanced at the battlements, could not help but curse, and instructed Torun and Isma to prepare the most powerful weapon on the head of the fortress of Dammod, the dwarven ballista.
"Ricks, send two teams of archers to the city walls, and tell the soldiers to be prepared, to look for the walls and bridges as much as possible for cover, and not to stand in the courtyard." Danas quickly gave his own order - the appearance of this red dragon is very likely - the orcs found that there was no hope of capturing the fortress of Dammod, so they sent the red dragon to attack the fortress of Dammod and cooperate with them in the siege. At this time, the Dammod Fortress was not equipped with mages, so in addition to the ballista to sit and prepare for the attack, a certain number of archers were needed to suppress the actions of the red dragon in the sky.
Although he had not fought an enemy flying through the sky, Danas was undoubtedly an excellent commander, and he quickly judged the shape in a short period of time and arranged everything he could; After that. Danas clenched the hilts of his sword in both hands at his waist, and looked at the red dragon that was flying towards him with a gaze as hard as iron, like the iron armor that shone in the light of the moon—come on, monster. It doesn't matter if you're a dragon or something else, the descendants of House Thorbain will make you regret being our enemy!
Under the orders of Danas and Muradin, the head of the fortress of Danmod was soon busy in an orderly manner, and a group of archers of Rapids in leather armor rushed out of the tents in the courtyard, and quickly arrived at the head of the fortress of Danmod and deployed themselves along the stairs and lifting platforms; Despite the fact that the leather armor on the body is in the coming attack. It may have been useless, but these archers still knelt on the cold bluestone slab at the head of the city with resolute faces, held the longbow in their left hand, and pinched out three arrows from the quiver with their right hand, one between each finger, and put the first one on the bowstring, and the rows of cold arrows pointed at the red dragon flying towards this direction in the distance - for the glory of Riptide Castle, the men of the Arathi Heights would rather die than take a half step back, whether facing the brutal orcs or the mighty red dragon!
Toruń and Isma shouted and commanded their group of dwarven warriors. Adjusted all the ballistae on the head of the Dammod Fortress to combat condition. The thick gunpowder bolts were placed on the ballista's arrow rails, aimed at the red dragon in the distance, and when it got closer, it opened fire with all its might—even the most powerful creatures on the road could only be shot down in front of the gunpowder of our dwarves! (I don't know why I remembered Karegos, the five scum of War, heck, why?) )
"Prince Danas, I'll leave it to you." Muradin nodded at Danas - even though he was a battle-hardened warrior, commanding battles was not his forte. In order to prevent the command from being disordered, Muradin said at this time that from now on, the defense of the city head will be fully handed over to Danas to command.
"Hmm. Attention all ballistas, target the body of the red dragon, ready to shoot, waiting for my orders! All archers, targeting the glasses and belly of that red dragon, after the ballista fire. Free Fire! Danas knew that the command of the army was conducive to the stability of the army, especially in the current situation of fighting an enemy that had never been seen before, so he unceremoniously took over the command of the war and issued one order after another.
"Aim, aim!" Hearing Danas's loud command, the dwarven warriors who operated the ballista quickly corrected the crosshairs of the ballista at the urging of Torun and Isma-this weapon of mass destruction, although powerful, had a very low hit rate, and even with the addition of the crosshairs, it was difficult to hit the flying red dragon from a distance, so Danas ordered them to wait for the command and shoot the red dragon at close range.
As for those human archers, even if they shoot face-to-face, it must be difficult for the arrows in their hands to penetrate the armor of the red dragon; However, Danas had seen several crocodiles while hunting, and like dragons, these creatures were covered in thick scale armor, and their weaknesses were their eyes and soft abdomen, so Danas ordered his archers to target these two parts of the red dragon.
As the red dragon flew closer and closer, Danas had already raised his right hand to his ear, and when the red dragon entered the attack area, he gave an order and fired ten thousand arrows - fortunately, there was only one red dragon that came to attack, and if dozens or hundreds of them attacked together, Danas would not have any good way to deal with it.
Just when Danas was almost about to give the order to attack, suddenly he seemed to hear something, and this voice seemed to come from the red dragon - "Prince Danas, Muradin, it's us, I'm Arthas, don't let go of the arrow!" Don't shoot arrows! ”
It's the voice of Alsace! - Danas's pupils dilated suddenly, and just now, he heard Arthas's voice, from the red dragon's body!
Danas's right hand, which had been raised to his ear, hesitated, and he looked at Muradin beside him, who looked at him with the same surprised gaze, and exclaimed, "Is it Arthas?" I seem to hear Arthas's voice, right on the red dragon! ”
Is it really Alsace? The sound was yes, and it can still be heard now, but it ...... Danas looked at his lieutenant with some uncertainty, and from Ricks, he received another confirmed answer.
It seemed that the matter was already certain, and Danas walked to the wall in some despair, and with the grief in his heart, he shouted outside the city wall with great victory: "Prince Arthas? Is that you? They...... They...... Did those hateful green-skinned crumbs actually let this red dragon swallow you in their stomachs? (To be continued.) )
