Chapter Fifty-Seven - The Legend of the Western Sentry Tower Slaying the Dragon
Humans were ruled by dragons for an unknown number of years, and they worshipped them as gods, and to this day, the coffins of dragon priests can still be found in ancient tombs in the wilderness of Skyrim Province. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
It doesn't take too many words to describe it, since dragons can be regarded as gods by humans, there is no doubt that their strength is much more powerful than that of humans.
This time, the enemy is the dragon that once existed as a god.
Ireles and Grabber, along with a group of guards, though more numerous than in the game, but not by much, left Snowman City and headed for the Western Tower.
It would be a lie to say that you don't feel afraid, and it would be a lie to say that you have the courage to face the dragon, and the guards really showed calm were only a few veterans who looked down on life and death, and the other young people were a little trembling with their hands and feet.
But they didn't deter themselves from going to the Western Watchtower.
Because it was a dragon, if left unchecked, maybe the next time it attacked it would not be the watchtower, but the snowy city...... These guards are not code in the game, they have their own names, they have their own thoughts, they have their own families, they are all living humans - and because of this, their willingness to fight dragons is worthy of respect, because their reasons for participating in this battle are simple.
Protect the snowy city, protect your homeland, protect your relatives and friends.
Tang Yuan hung at the back of the team from a distance, looking at this group of guards, thinking wildly in his mind, thinking of what "righteousness" for a while, "glory" for a while, and "chasing ducks to the shelves" for a while...... Ahem, you can't say this, it will affect morale.
In the distance, the crippled silhouette of the western watchtower appeared in everyone's field of vision, and the once tall and sturdy masonry building was now only left with ruins, and the tall watchtower was only half of it, standing alone in the howling cold wind.
Ireles looked at the group of Nord soldiers in front of him, and then at the wreckage of the watchtower in the distance, and his brows were tangled: "There is no trace of the dragon...... That beast may not have run far yet, let's go over and have a look, and we must not let our guard down. β
Grabbing Genbao followed the team forward, slowly fell to the side of Tang Yuan at the back, and asked in a low voice: "Hey, seeing that you didn't say a word all the way, do you know anything?" β
"Me?" Tang Yuan glanced at him, folded his fingers, and made a crisp sound at the joints, "Don't be afraid, it's just a giant dragon...... I was just wondering if I should put some water in the fight when it was time to fight the dragon...... After all, there will be more and more dragons in the future, and I don't want to take it out alone, and you will think that dragons are something to bully...... In this way, if I am not there in the future, the guards will lose a lot of money if they are lighter than the enemy......"
"That's right, so what to do?" Grabbing Genbao also understands the problem.
Tang Yuan shook his head: "How do I know what to do?" You can only watch it then. β
As they spoke, they came to the bottom of a ruined wall, and a bewildered-looking guard ran out of the watchtower, and said something to Ireles, but they couldn't hear it clearly, but before they could say a few words, a dragon groan came from the sky.
"OMG! The monster is back!! The embarrassed guard shouted, drew his sword, and stared in the direction from which the voice came.
Everyone looked up and looked over there, and a huge black shadow flew from the other side of the sky.
A dragon, flapping its massive wings and making an ear-wrenching roar, flew over the western watchtower.
"Everyone! Get ready to fight!! Ireles shouted, sword in his right hand, a squeaky white light in his left, and a lightning bolt flew towards the dragon in the sky.
However, the lightning arrow "snapped" and hit the dragon's body, only making its flying movement stiffen for a moment, and even this stiff movement was not obvious, only Tang Yuan and Irelais noticed.
Tang Yuan couldn't care about the commander of Irelis anymore, he stood on a half-cut wall and shouted at the group of bewildered soldiers: "Everyone, attention! Keep yourself in a state of irregular movement! Don't stop in the direction that guy is facing! As soon as you notice that it is facing you, get out of that position! Then look for shelter! β
Ireles looked at him with a frown, but didn't say anything, just memorized what he said in his head.
Tang Yuan repeated what he had just said, and then watched the soldiers disperse on their own initiative, and shouted loudly: "Use bows and arrows!" The dragon's wings are the weakest part, shoot it with a bow and arrow! Try to hit its wings! β
"Dodge its attacks first! Humans can only grind it to death slowly, but if it touches it, it will basically not survive! Be patient!! β
The soldiers didn't know why Tang Yuan suddenly launched the command, and thought that this was what Ireles meant, so they did as he said.
"Keep an eye on the heavens! Make sure that guy is always in his field of vision! β
The dragon, Mirmenir, hovered in the sky, occasionally leaning down and spewing a stream of fire to the ground, but because the action before the fire was too obvious, every time he lowered his head and did not have time to breathe fire, the soldiers saw its attack intention and ran away in advance, and when he kept the swooping motion and twisted his neck to breathe fire in all directions, the nearby soldiers had already run away.
"Roar!!" It roared loudly in anger, but the humans were always able to dodge its attacks from the sky most of the time, as if they were constantly fighting dragons.
But this is only to minimize casualties, there are still people who are unable to dodge, and are sprayed by the scorching flames, even if they are only burned for a moment, and their bodies are also ablaze, and they have to roll around on the ground to extinguish the flames...... The temperature of this flame is extremely high, and it is easy to get serious burns, and the damage that dragons can do to humans is far more terrifying than it is shown in the game!
The death toll is now five, with two others slightly wounded, and the number of casualties has not yet reached double digits.
"When you see it breathing fire, run in the opposite direction of its advance! Run behind it! Only its head can breathe fire, but its butt can't! Tang Yuan continued to shout.
Ever since she first discovered that magic had an effect on dragons, Ireles had been firing lightning arrows with her left hand, and from a distance, lightning bolts had struck the dragon in the sky from the ground, and she had noticed that the dragon's movements were slower than at first...... It's not obvious, but it's slowed down.
Grab the root treasure? The guy was learning from the guards, running around dodging the dragon's flames, occasionally drawing his bow and shooting into the sky, but more often than not, he was in a show.
Tang Yuan hid in the shadows and watched the battle of this group of people, and nodded secretly - his purpose was very simple, that is, to explain to this group of people how to fight the dragon, after all, he could not stay in Xueman City all the time, so if he was not there, if these guards were attacked by the dragon, these experiences could be of great help.
Most of the arrows missed, and it flew away with Mirmenir, even if it hit it on a mission, and a large part of it was blocked by the scales, and only a few of the arrows hit its wings.
Even the weakest wings, but the thick layer of wing membrane is not something that an arrow can pierce into, and many arrows are just the tip of the arrow stuck to the surface of the wing membrane.
But there was a steady stream of arrows coming up from the ground, and Mirmenir couldn't help it, even though it was furious, and it was impossible for it to get out of hereβa certain dignity made it unwilling to flee while fighting the humans.
Finally, the endurance of the wing membrane also reached its limit, and an arrow was not bounced off by the scales after it was shot, but directly pierced the wing membrane, and after the arrow completed its mission, it failed to fly through the hole that was pierced, but stuck on it, and half an arrow drilled out of the other side of the dragon's wings.
"Roarβ" This was the first real damage to Millmenil, and with a loud cry, it lowered its head for a dive, and flailed its wings with all its might......
An extremely terrible thing happened to it, a small hole in its wings that was originally only the diameter of a human finger was cracked open with a "click" under the huge impact of air on its wings, and instantly became the size of a fist! Bright red blood oozed out of the rupture.
"Wow......" it screamed in pain, the severe pain made it stunned for a while, and at the same time, the leaky wings could no longer maintain balance, and it did not dare to continue to flap its wings, and its body slid towards the ground as soon as it was crooked, hitting the ground with a "boom", and because of the huge inertia, it slid away on the ground, leaving a deep and long ravine.
"Good opportunity! Now go up and chop it! Tang Yuan came out and shouted, "Some people are approaching it from the front with shields!" Attract attention, and others go around to the back! The dragon is very inconvenient to move on the ground, as long as you bypass its front half of the body, it will be fine! But watch out for its tail too! If you are drawn, your bones will be broken...... It's better to approach from the two hind legs! β
"Oooh oh!!" A group of guards rushed with a shield in their left hand and a sword in their right.
"Try to climb on its back as much as you can! Dragons, like crabs, can't do anything about what they're on their backs! After going up, he didn't care about anything, clenched the sword in his hand and stabbed it down! β
Under Tang Yuan's command, a group of people rushed towards the giant dragon lying on the ground, and the dragon's reaction was just as Tang Yuan said, giving priority to spitting fire at the people in front of him.
The guards who approached from the front of the dragon were equipped with light shields, which were only covered with a layer of iron sheets, and after suffering a breath of fire, the shields turned into a piece of charcoal, and they were completely unusable.
In this battle, although Mirmenir felt extremely aggrieved, there was no way, the human in black seemed to have a lot of experience in fighting dragons, and under his command, this group of humans had not died more than ten so far!
Finally, a strong man in iron armor and an iron horned helmet climbed onto the dragon's neck, threw away his shield, roared, grabbed the scales on the back of the dragon's neck with one hand, and stabbed the huge dragon eye with the sword in the other......
Mirmenir seemed to sense something, but before he could speak, he was stabbed through the eye by the sword, and the tip of the sword pierced through the eye and into the brain.
"Duwakin ...... Noβ" It cried, and a large stream of blood poured out of the bloody hole in one of its eyes, and the once-invincible dragon fell to the ground completely motionless.
The guards watched as the behemoth collapsed, stirring up a cloud of smoke and dust, and blood flowed on the ground like a stream...... This is the dragon they slain! Despite the command of the heroes of Helgen, this dragon was indeed killed by their concerted efforts!
Grabbing the treasure staggered from the huge dragon's head, holding the blood-stained sword, and roared into the sky: "Oh-oh--!! β
"Hooray!!" Everyone cheered loudly.
