Chapter 671: The Situation and Trends of the Two Countries (II)
Compared with the Griffin Empire, the news about the Celestial Dragon Empire is even rarer, after all, when the battle between the Celestial Dragon Empire and the Griffin Empire ended nearly 10,000 years ago, the Celestial Dragon Empire was almost in a state of seclusion, except for the border villages and towns of the Celestial Dragon Empire, there will be dragons staying in it to trade with outside merchants in exchange for some rare things from the outside world, and all the cities of the rest of the Celestial Dragon Empire are stationary for anyone who is not from the Celestial Dragon Empire (the Celestial Dragon Empire is not all composed of dragonmen and ancient dragons, In fact, there are also some species called half-human dragons in the territory of the Celestial Dragon Empire, which are hybrids between humans and dragonmen, and their physical fitness is comparable to that of orcs but they will not go berserk, and their identity in the Celestial Dragon Empire is very bad, because half-dragons can only be the lowest slaves).
In such a situation, although the Great Empire of the Sun Never Sets has hired a group of centaurs who are miscellaneous servants in the army of the Heavenly Dragon Empire because of the growing intelligence network, they have learned about the situation of the army of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, but after all, these hired centaurs are all enslaved species that have been enslaved for nearly 10,000 years, and the most important thing is that the wisdom of these guys is really not good, and the centaurs who can speak the intermittent lingua franca of the King Continent are already extremely bullish existences. Under such circumstances, how could these guys be expected to tell the current situation of the Dragonman Legion in great detail.
Judging from the information provided by the Centaure, the situation of the Dragonman Legion was almost exactly the same 10,000 years ago: the regular heavy infantry class belonging to the Dragonman Legion was the Dragonman Heavy Armored Swordsman Regiment that could even charge back against the ordinary human heavy cavalry troops after it was fully equipped before the previous year.
However, compared with the Dragonman Heavy Armor Swordsman Regiment 10,000 years ago, today's Dragonman Heavy Armor Swordsman Regiment is no longer the heavy armor regiment of the year, but after the Dragon Empire did not know how to introduce the casting technique into the armor casting technique, it became a super-heavy infantry: although the super heavy plate armor created by the dragon warriors can be said to be the worst heavy plate armor on the King Continent, although this set of plate armor also has breastplates, skirt armor, shoulder guards and other parts. But after the dragonman Zhu armor masters put all these things together, it became a miserable existence, because the gap between these armors was at least the size of a fist, but this situation could not affect the strong defense of the dragonman warriors, because the surface of the dragonman warriors had a layer of dragon scale armor that was several times stronger than the protective ability of the snakeman warriors' snakeskin armor, so now the defense of the dragonman heavy armor swordsman group can be compared to the protection of the dark blue heavy armor warrior group of the griffin empire, and even compared.
In terms of attack power and charge, due to the strong physique of the dragon warrior and the weapons it is equipped with, the dragon warrior has become the most terrifying king of the battlefield in the heavy infantry - the attacking super heavy armor soldier: the dragon warrior is not equipped with an ordinary two-handed broadsword, but a two-handed greatsword with blades on both sides.
The disadvantage of this two-handed greatsword is that there is always only one way to swing it. That is, after holding the grip of the middle of the body called the double-sided sword, relying on the waist strength of the body and the arm strength of both hands, it swings in front of the body in an X-shaped trajectory, and swings an inverted 8 in the air, that is, an infinite shape trajectory, in such a situation, if the dragon warrior is able to counterattack as long as someone else finds out the pattern of the swing. Then the dragon warriors have only the fate of being tied, besides. This type of swinging is extremely exhausting. And this attrition rate is something that the dragonman warriors can't stand after wielding it for a while.
However, although this is the disadvantage of the dragon warrior, how can this not be the advantage of the dragon warrior? First of all, this swing move is the most suitable for the existence of double-sided swords, although in the early swing it will be found by the enemy because of the slow dance speed, but as the dragon warrior continues to swing, the physical strength used by the dragon warrior on the double-sided sword and the inertia carried by the double-sided sword itself after swinging make the double-sided sword dance faster and faster. until a sword wall is formed that most weapons can't break through, and this even includes the armor-piercing crossbow arrows shot by the new Mo forging crossbow, the king of individual long-range weapons in cold weapons; Secondly, the armor-piercing power of the double-sided sword is extremely powerful, and it is said that the armor worn by the dark blue heavy armor warriors is under the crazy knocking of these dragon warriors with the double-sided sword. Including the huge steel plate tower shield will also be cut off in a short time under the bombardment of the double-sided sword.
As the heavy cavalry of the Celestial Dragon Empire, it is the same famous earthly dragoon as the black rhino cavalry of the Orc Empire: on the king continent where there are hundreds of intelligent creatures, there are thousands of species that have been domesticated into war mounts by major species, and among the mounts belonging to the land war heavy cavalry, the most famous are the earthly dragon of the Celestial Dragon Empire, the black rhinoceros of the Orc Empire and the nightmare horse of the vampire empire. At the top of the list is the Earth Dragon: the Earth Dragon has one more innate ability than any other mount: Muscle Regeneration. It is said that the ancestor of the earthly dragon is a lizard with a huge body, and his lover is the female dragon king of the red dragon clan in the ancient dragon at that time, but unfortunately the love between the two is not accepted by most of the ancient dragons, plus this big lizard died before the red dragon queen and her descendants in the summer, and the red dragon queen began to have a difficult birth, and the most important thing is that the offspring born to it is mentally retarded, and there are no wings that the dragon clan should be proud of, so the descendants of the two were expelled from the dragon clan, and evolved over the years, After crossing with other species, it became the current Earth Walking Dragon.
Although the predecessor of the Earth Walking Dragon had such a tragic fate, no matter how tragic the fate was, it did not degenerate the innate abilities that belonged to the ancient monitor lizard and the ancient dragon clan, so even if the Earth Walking Dragon was not pressed by the dragon warriors with a layer of heavy plate armor, the dragon scale armor on its skin was also an existence that many arrows could not shoot through, and the most perverted thing was that these Earth Walking Dragons also inherited the ability of the lizard clan to regenerate limbs by breaking limbs and even heads, making the Earth Walking Dragon known as an undead mount by the world, coupled with the fact that the Earth Walking Dragon is only loyal to one master in his life, who would not like such a mount that can fight and be loyal?
I have to admit that the Earth Dragon Knight of the Dragon Empire is simply inferior to the human kingdom-level knights, that is, the chain armor knights, in terms of horse fighting, but they have terrifying mounts that exist like BUGS.
And as the last kind of regular army in the intelligence - the Dragon Knight, these strong knights are the same as the bipedal Wyvern knights of the Orc Empire, they are all knights with extremely poor combat effectiveness, but the kind of mount combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and from the single displayed intelligence, there is not much difference between the essence of the Wyvern and the Byoleg Wyvern, the Wyvern is just two more skills than the Byoleg Wyvern, but these two skills are enough to change everything: first of all, the ability that most of the dragon bloodline can give - Dragon Scale Armor, And the Wyvern clan has a purer bloodline than the Earth Walking Dragon, so the dragon scale armor of the Wyvern clan is second only to the ancient dragon in terms of quality, so as the sworn enemy of the air combat class - the long-range troops may not be able to become their mortal enemies in the face of the Wyvern troops, because the dragon scale armor comparable to the ancient dragon on the body surface is almost immune to most of the long-range arrows, of course, because the Wyvern belongs to the sub-dragon species, and the object of the armor-piercing arrows developed by the advanced intelligent creatures is the ancient dragon, Therefore, the Armor-Piercing Arrows, especially the Armor-Piercing Crossbow Arrows, are still very powerful for the Wyvern (don't think of dragons as mythical, after all, the dragons here are just war behemoths, not beings at the top of the biological chain in the Magical World).
Of course, if it only has a layer of relatively strong dragon scale armor, then it is absolutely impossible for a flying dragon with this combat power to become the strongest air combat mount in the King Continent, and the reason why it has become the most powerful air combat mount in the King Continent is because the Wyvern clan has a more pure ancient dragon bloodline, and has an anti-heaven skill of the ancient dragon - it can spit out a fireball with a temperature of 1000 degrees Celsius from its mouth, which is a good thing to say, If it is ugly, the so-called fireball is actually the saliva of the dragon: don't look at the surface of the dragon's body as cold as steel, but in fact, the body temperature in the dragon's body is extremely high, and the blood that has just spurted out of its body is as hot as 100 degrees of boiling water, and this is also the reason why no one in the King Continent thinks that the dragon's blood can improve the quality of the human body, because all the people who have tried it have been scalded into dragon blood human broth by the dragon's blood.
Although the flying dragon cannot be like the ancient dragon because of the impure bloodline, it can continuously spray fireballs, but it can also do one an hour, don't underestimate this small fireball, at the critical moment, hundreds of thousands of flying dragons at the same time sprayed fireballs can often turn the tide of the war, and the number of flying dragon troops of the Dragon Empire on the battlefield is often not only a few dozen or hundreds, but thousands or even tens of thousands! Because the Celestial Dragon Empire has at least 50,000 flying dragons that can participate in battle! More than 100,000 of them have not participated in war training.
However, it is worth making Sun Lin happy that he has the troops of the Spider Clan, the public enemy of all the dragon clans back then, and judging from the current situation, the Tianlong clan has no interest in the Great Empire on which the sun never sets. (To be continued......)
