Chapter 624: Rush to the Rescue
Sonia's reconnaissance team spotted a dragon besieged by the Crystal Giants near the edge of the war zone.
To be honest, Gawain was stunned when he first heard the news.
Because his first reaction was that Miss My little pony had fallen from the sky again - after all, the blue dragon had a precedent for this, and his flying skills were not very reliable.
However, he quickly ruled out this speculation, as the report pointed out that the dragon was black, and Gawain analyzed it rationally and decided that it should not be the result of Melita being blackened by arcane lightning......
But in any case, he immediately sent reinforcements to meet the counterparty at the breakout site marked by Sonya, and at the same time he immediately set off to a advance base on the front line of the war zone, where a large number of troops were gathering, preparing to use this as a pedal to launch further operations against the Red Maple area.
……
It wasn't until she saw several oddly shaped steel chariots and a large number of heavily armed human soldiers appear in front of her that Maggie was finally sure that she had survived.
That's Cecil's army—an army that can fight all the way from the edge of the contaminated zone to the hinterland.
The steel chariot engine roared, the magic cannon let out a piercing screech, the obelisk warhead accelerated by the orbit fell into the enemy line, and the explosion ended those pathetic and twisted lives, and soldiers in metal armor carried heavy battle backpacks and flamethrowers in their hands and marched with the chariots, and the flames were billowing and everything burned in their path.
The breath of iron and fire filled the battlefield, and this civilizational force that was more barbaric than barbarism completely shocked Maggie's heart.
The deafening explosion sounded in all directions, the earth trembled slightly under the explosion, Maggie struggled to shake off a crystal giant who tried to grab his tail, and then watched the monster in the air be cut into pieces by a dozen rushing beams, the deadly magic effect was like cheap crossbow arrows and stone bullets splashed everywhere, strafing all the targets that stood and did not belong to friendly forces, under the huge earthquake in the sky, Maggie couldn't help but shrink her neck, feeling an inexplicable panic-
What kind of power did the Founding Duke who came back from the dead create in his kingdom?
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a large vehicle with a steel emblem hanging and a steel seal on the surface of the carriage with many prayers and sacred symbols rushing up the ramp, and the weapons on the roof were fired frequently, shooting at the battlefield with blazing white light, and then the metal door on the side of the chariot opened, and several brave warriors in heavy white armor rushed out of it, armed with heavy war hammers, helmets, With scripture carved all over their shoulder armor and the cloth of scripture on their chests fluttering in the wind, they rushed into battle, frantically crushing the nearest Crystal Cluster Giant with their warhammers, and roared loudly: "Perform the purification of the Holy Light!" ”
The berserkers then picked up some kind of incendiary device hanging behind them and began firing in all directions.
In the end, the battlefield calmed down.
The griffon knight and the giant eagle hovered high in the air, continuing to guard the surrounding situation, and a soldier who looked like a commander approached Maggie with several soldiers, the commander glanced at the black dragon in front of him with curiosity and caution, and asked aloud, "How is the situation?" Can you understand human language? ”
Maggie endured the throbbing pain of the wound, and a deep, almost low-pitched voice came from her throat: "Yes." ”
"Okay—" The officer nodded, then noticing Maggie's bleeding massiveness, and immediately turned to beckon, "A priest is needed here—she's badly wounded!" ”
Despite Maggie's low voice in dragon form, the officer could hear the feminine character in her voice.
Maggie wanted to say that her injuries were out of the way, and that she could resist until she reached the evacuation point with her dragon constitution, but she quickly forgot to speak in shock, because she saw the heavy armor warriors who were braver than the berserkers walking towards her, and the leader untied a metal-shelled prayer book from his waist as if he was about to release the Holy Light Technique......
So...... These people are Cecil's priests?
At this moment, Maggie suddenly understood why the original Holy Light Church in the South had been kicked out......
……
The rescue operation went very well, and soon after Gawain arrived at the advance base, news of the success of the mission was delivered to him.
In the mission briefing, the Commander praised the role of the White Knights on the battlefield for their courage in destroying the enemy, as well as providing effective healing to the targets of assistance, and for playing a role that no group of soldiers could replace, despite having only one squad member.
This made Gawain quite relieved, and strengthened his opinion: Pastors, what they are really good at is saving lives and helping the wounded......
Before the evening of this day, the black dragon of unknown origin, but apparently related to the Duke of the North, arrived at the advance base.
As a result of the effective treatment she received, she walked into the camp on her own.
Gawain had set aside a large area in the camp to accommodate the visitor, as he remembered that dragons were behemoths that reached tens of meters in length (Melita?). Pernia data), but when the black dragon appeared in the camp, Gawain realized that the situation was not quite what he had expected.
It was an extraordinarily thin dragon, with a wingspan of only a dozen meters, one-third to one-half the size of an adult dragon, and its wings were particularly twisted and short, as if they were not fully developed.
Although Gawain had only seen Melita from a distance before? Pernia's dragon form could only be visually measured in terms of the length of an adult dragon, but he was sure that the standard adult dragon was definitely much larger than the black dragon in front of him.
Is this a baby dragon?
With this question in mind, he had calmly met the black dragon who was walking into the center of the camp, and the latter barely paid much attention to the strange prefabricated barracks and rotating magic monitoring devices around him, nor did he pay attention to the stops and glances of the nearby soldiers and officers, and she came to Gawain, a face that was very different from that of a human...... There was a clear and discernible anxiety.
Before she could get to her, she spoke quickly, "Honorable Duke, Boulder City needs your support!" Victoria she ......"
"Don't worry, I've received news that the main force has begun to move north," Gawain interrupted the black dragon, he noticed that his words had obviously calmed the breathing of the dragon in front of him, which made him extremely curious, "Who are you?" You and Victoria? What is the relationship with Wild? ”
The black dragon was silent for a moment, and then said clearly words that surprised Gawain: "I'm Maggie, you've seen it before. ”
"Maggie?" Gawain was stunned, and after a few seconds, he finally searched for the pronunciation from memory, and remembered that it seemed to be the name of the dark-haired maid beside Victoria—a very distinctive, unansul-style name.
"I see...... A giant dragon ......" Gawain laughed and nodded slightly, "Has the Wilde family actually established a connection with you......"
"I owe my allegiance to Victoria of my own will," the black dragon said immediately, a little curious, "you...... Don't seem surprised when facing the dragons? ”
"I've dealt with dragons," Gawain said casually, then asked, "but the dragons I've seen don't seem to be quite like yours." If you feel offended or taboo, you don't have to answer - are you a young dragon? ”
He remembered that the black-haired maid's human form was very mature, so he was particularly curious about her dragon form, and this was a good opportunity to learn about the dragon family.
He noticed that Maggie was hesitating for a moment in front of the question, and there might be nervousness and annoyance hidden in that hesitation, as if the simple question had touched on the territory she didn't want to answer, but she spoke anyway, a little hesitant in her tone: "This is ...... Disease ......"
"Okay, I see," Gawain vaguely guessed what was going on, and immediately interrupted, "Sorry, ma'am, it was my question that offended. ”
Then he looked at Maggie's current form and changed the subject: "Ma'am, can you change into human form?" In this way, maybe we can communicate more conveniently. ”
The black dragon lowered his neck slightly: "It's okay - please step back a little." ”
Several commanders, including Gawain, as well as Amber and the others who ran out to see the excitement, immediately retreated, while the black dragon in the center of the clearing followed closely with its wings and tail, accompanied by a burst of powerful magic fluctuations and sudden cyclones, the black dragon's whole body was shrouded in a layer of constantly wriggling light curtains-
Looking at the continuous contraction and change of the light curtain, Gao Wen couldn't help but have a sentence in his mind: most of the transformation spells in the world originated from the dragon clan......
Maggie, with black hair and black eyes, dressed in a maid's dress, and two long swords hanging from her waist, walked out of the light curtain.
In the crowd, Amber couldn't help but muttered to Philip: "Actually, I haven't been able to figure out where the clothes and belongings on their bodies are hidden after this kind of transfiguration......
The young and straightforward knight was obviously not very able to adapt to the rhythm of this intelligence leader, and was stunned for a moment: "...... Why are you thinking so strangely? ”
"Thank you very much for your assistance," Maggie in human form came to Gawain and bowed deeply, but then couldn't help but ask, "When will your army ......?"
"The main force of my legion will arrive in the war zone in the evening, and we will be able to attack overnight, but until then, we must work out an effective offensive plan," Gawain interrupted the humanoid dragon and raised his hand to the barracks that served as the headquarters not far away, "Please come with me, I want to know the situation in the north first." ”
Maggie followed Gawain and several Cecil officers into the headquarters, where the first thing she saw was an extremely detailed map hanging from the wooden wall of the barracks.
On the elaborate map, she saw giant wooden crossings marked with tactical symbols, crisscrossed arrows, lines showing enemy positions and division of the war zone, and numbers and shorthand markings that even she couldn't read.
Despite being nominally a maid, Maggie instantly realized what the map meant: it meant Cecil's control of the battlefield, a way of warfare that no one had ever done before!
She even wanted to turn her head at first, because there was so much information on the map that it could influence the situation of the war, but she soon realized that Gawain had brought her to see the map.
Gawain spoke next to him: "Mark it, where Victoria is, where the enemy is, what is their approximate size, the situation of the main line of defense - if you know." ”
Maggie nodded, stepped forward, and pointed to the location of Boulder, "Victoria and the Mountain Legion are trapped in the Castle District......
"The enemy has completely surrounded Boulder City, there are no gaps in the ground, and the number is ...... It is conservatively estimated at more than 50,000, and this number can be increased at any time, because they have a steady stream of troops to mobilize, and as long as the attack is frustrated, they will definitely increase their troops......
"This is Red Maple City, on the east bank of the Gorgon River, the base camp of those monsters......
"As I skimmed through the sky, I saw that the monsters were moving south with a portion of their forces......"
Gawain listened carefully to Maggie's information one by one, constantly summarizing and considering it, while beside him, Philip and several staff officers were also discussing in a quick whisper, deducing possible offensive routes.
"How much longer do you think Victoria will last?" Gawain asked suddenly.
Maggie said in a heavy tone: "They originally relied on the strength of the blizzard barrier to hold on, and they were able to hold on for three days, but later Victoria took the initiative to withdraw from the blizzard and chose to face the enemy head-on, relying on the walls of the castle district and the soldiers' hard work, they may only be able to hold out for two days...... No, that's the Mountain Corps, and they'll definitely be able to hold out one more day! Even without a blizzard, they can last three days! ”
Gawain sighed slightly in his heart.
Rather than prolonging their lives behind a safe barrier for three days, did the soldiers of the North choose to die generously after three days of fighting......
"I've been on the road for a day...... Maggie added.
On the other side, Philip and the staff officers had already discussed something, and one of the staff officers came to Gawain's side and whispered a few words.
Gawain raised his head and looked at Maggie, "Ma'am, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Boulder City in two days. ”
The black-haired maid's eyes widened instantly, but before she could show a look of despair, Gawain had already continued:
"But we only need a day to get to the red maple – and blow it up."
