readx; "Spike Dragon!" One of the guards on the ramparts shouted below. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

After looking up and taking a closer look at the situation on the watchtower, Di Da quickly jumped off his horse. Before he could untie his sword and shield from his horse, he pointed to the crowd on the steppe and said to the guards who were following him, "Take a few soldiers and bring all the people from the steppe back to hide by the wall." The rest of the men followed me up to the walls and prepared the giant crossbow to deal with the Thorny Dragon. Quick, be sure to bring everyone under the city walls as quickly as possible! ”

"Yes, Dilda!" After receiving the order, the guards immediately rushed out of the city on horseback with a few men. The rest of the soldiers hurried up the city wall with the Dilders and set up their crossbows.

The Giant Crossbow is the weapon used by Horseback City against large beasts, as well as the main weapon against Wyverns. When Lokis was building Horseback City, he invited the best craftsmen in the Fashi Country to specially make fifty-five giant crossbows, equipped with spell-casting steel arrows, which can repel any incoming Wyvern beasts, but this powerful defense network must make all fifty-five giant crossbows work at the same time, otherwise, the defense power will be greatly reduced. Under normal circumstances, there are 110 soldiers on duty every day on these 55 giant crossbows, but due to the requirements of the war, Di Da people have sent most of the soldiers in the city to the front line, and the giant crossbows have been vacant for a long time.

He walked over to a giant crossbow, and the soldier next to him took out the steel arrows that had been placed in the wooden box, placed them on the bowstring that had been pulled apart, and then crouched down and pulled off the iron bolt that locked the axle. Holding the handle of the giant crossbow with both hands, he used his arms to erect the giant crossbow, which weighed dozens of kilograms, and he quickly turned the giant crossbow and aimed at the spike dragon hanging upside down on the watchtower.

The Thorny Dragon had apparently noticed the five giant crossbows on the city wall, but instead of flying away from the spot, it climbed to the top of the watchtower, and looked around with a little vigilance, one jumped down from the watchtower, dived, and flew straight in the direction of the crossbow.

The stupid behavior of the Assassin Dragon made Di Da people a little puzzled. He also thought that the Spikesaurus would circle around the edge of Horseback City, because such a circle would cause great trouble for shooting, and the steel arrows released would fly along the arc, making it extremely difficult to capture the target. Now I can't imagine that the Turphosaurus is flying directly in the direction of the giant crossbow's launch, which is obviously killing you.

In a matter of moments, the Piercing Dragon had already broken into the range of the Giant Crossbow. Di Daren immediately ordered the arrows to be released, and the five steel arrows broke away from the giant crossbow and shot at the Piercing Dragon. This steel arrow is different from ordinary arrows, not only in the size and material, but also in the spell it is applied to, and all the wyverns who are injured by this arrow will automatically expand the wound, which invisibly increases the power of the arrow. It is also a tracking arrow, which pursues its prey until it is shot into other objects.

Just when everyone thought that the Assassin Dragon would die, the Assassin Dragon suddenly flew downwards in the face of the five steel arrows oncoming and skillfully dodged the steel arrows. After the steel arrow misses its target, it continues to pursue the Turbosaurus with a nice turn, and the Turbosaurus's dodging doesn't seem to be of much use, but after a while, everyone won't think so.

The Assassin Dragon still flew in the direction of Di Daren, and only then did Di Da Da come to his senses and know the purpose of the Assassin Dragon, the Assassin Dragon did not want to find death but borrowed a knife to kill people! It's a pity that it's too late to dodge at this time, the Turp Dragon clicked the city wall with his foot, and rushed towards the sky with a "whoosh", some of the five steel arrows were inserted into the city wall, and some directly collided with the giant crossbow, smashing the giant crossbow to pieces.

"Oh my God!" Lying on the ground, Di Daren looked around, the two giant crossbows were basically scrapped, and the spike dragon in the sky swooped down, opened its huge mouth, and spewed a scorching firework. The flames flowed on the city wall, and Di Da and the people rolled under the city wall one by one, and the soldiers who had not had time to leave the top of the city wall were instantly surrounded by the flames, struggling until they were burned alive.

Dilder dragged his broken right leg and crawled towards the wall with difficulty, his cloak scorched behind his back and his face covered in blood. Instead of hunting the people of the steppe, the Turquoise was searching for the Dilders. It folded its huge wings and came to a steady stop on the stone road, approaching Di Da man step by step.

"Dicken, you have disgraced your grandfather Lokis," said the Assassin Dragon in a mocking tone, "you look weak and incompetent, and you can't even hold a sword. ”

"You don't have to show off your prowess hereβ€”it seems to me," said Di Daren, holding himself to his feet with difficulty, "that you are nothing but a coward, and only a coward like you can do that when the defenses of the city on horseback are empty." ”

"Hahahaha," the Turbulent Dragon laughed, glancing at the people around him who were lying on the side of the wall and had been frightened, "Dicken, look at your people, look at the fear in their eyes, they are afraid of me, you know?" If you are willing to surrender to me and submit to me before your people, perhaps I can consider treating you as my new pet and sparing your life. ”

"Hahahaha," Di Daren laughed when he heard the Assassin Dragon's surrender, "just because you beast also wants me to surrender to you, you are delusional!" ”

"Very well," the Assassin Dragon grew angry, shaking its head as a puff of white steam came out of its nostrils, "I'll send you to your grandfather Lokith today!" ”

With that, the Assassin opened its mouth, red flames burst out of its throat, and from such a distance, Di Da could feel the burning sensation, and he did not make any blocking gestures, but closed his eyes firmly.

At this moment, there was a sudden "bang" in the distance, and a brass-colored bullet followed the sound of the wind, broke through the layers of dignified air, and directly pierced into the eyes of the Turp Dragon. With a cry of pain, the Assassin's eyes immediately turned to mush, and the pain caused it to lose its bearing, knocking its entire body into a nearby house at once, which was reduced to pieces in its tumbling. Seeing this, Di Daren dragged his leg off and limped towards the city gate. At this time, the gunshots in his ears were still continuous, and he looked up and found Qin Qi standing on the roof of a wooden house on stilts.

At this time, Qin Qizheng was half-kneeling on the roof, holding a Mauser rifle in his hand, and continuously shooting at the Spike Dragon. Since this rifle had no magazine, Qin Qi could only take the trouble to uncasing, loading, and loading the rifle. Bullet casings kept popping out of the rifle, hitting the roof and then falling to the ground again, making a "bumper" metal crash.

Annoyed by the multiple shots, the Turphosaurus struggled to rise from the ground, erecting only one of its wings, the thin white spines of the wings gradually protruding and covering the entire wing. Seeing this, Qin Qi stopped shooting, he couldn't understand what the Assassin Dragon was going to do. At this time, only the voice of Di Da was heard in the distance.

"Qin Qi, get out of the way! It's going to throw its own thorns out! ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw the spike dragon's wings shake violently, and hundreds of thin thorns were thrown out of its wings and flew towards Qin Qi, who immediately jumped and jumped onto another roof. When he looked back at the roof, it was already covered with slender bone spurs. Seeing this scene, Qin Qi couldn't help but feel creepy in his heart, if he hadn't reacted fast enough just now, wouldn't he have to shoot his back into a hedgehog?

However, the danger has not been lifted, the Assault Dragon still did not let Qin Qi go, it also erected its other wings, and the two wings attacked alternately, and the white bone spurs flew towards Qin Qi like raindrops in a row. Qin Qi was like a clown, jumping around on the rooftops of various houses, dodging bone spurs. After a while, the roof of the wooden house on the east side of the entire horseback city was covered with dense white bone spurs, and when I looked at it suddenly, it looked like it was snowing.

The Spike Dragon saw that Qin Qi was agile enough to dodge all of its attacks. Enraged, it stopped this senseless attack, opened its mouth, and spewed hot flames towards Qin Qi.

This time, Qin Qi was indeed a little unbearable, because the flames were not as easy to dodge as he imagined. Even if you can dodge the flames, standing next to the flames, the temperature of more than 1,000 degrees can still make people quite uncomfortable. After Qin Qi was exposed to the light of the fire a few times, he felt dizzy and his movements became slower and slower, and finally, he stumbled and planted directly from the roof to the street.

Fortunately, he fell on a cart of wheat straw and was not seriously injured. Qin Qi rolled from the straw pile to a stable, found a small bucket of water, and desperately poured water on his face, and after a while, his hot face cooled down slightly. At this time, the Thorny Dragon, which had lost Qin Qi's trace in his field of vision, spewed fire everywhere like crazy, igniting all the tall wooden houses, and the temperature around him instantly rose, and the wood burned with a crackling sound. The wooden houses were toppled by the Turber, and it roared, vowing to find Qin Qi.

"Ah~ You coward who only fires arrows in the dark, come out of me, I'm going to swallow you in my stomach, I'm going to burn you to black coal!"

Seeing this situation, Qin Qi hurriedly threw away the rifle, took off the cloak, poured a bucket of cold water on his body, quickly interspersed through the cracks of the flames, and ran out of the sea of fire as fast as he could. At this time, he saw Di Daren lying on the edge of the west gate, Di Daren pointed to him and shouted: "Qin Qi, to deal with the Piercing Dragon, you need to use the giant crossbow and steel arrows above, only that thing can kill it." ”

"I see, you can get some rest." Qin Qi dragged Di Da and the others outside the west gate, asked a few people to take care of him, and ran back alone. He ran up the stairs to the top of the city wall, only to find that the giant crossbows around him were basically burned out, and only one or two giant crossbows were basically functional.

At this time, the Assault Dragon in the sea of fire had already seen Qin Qi, it shook its body from the fire, flew up, and stopped only ten meters away from Qin Qi, making eye contact with Qin Qi. Qin Qi had just gotten the steel arrow in his hand, and before he even had time to study the giant crossbow, he watched as the two giant crossbows next to him were smashed by the tail of the spike dragon. There's not even a thing to shoot steel arrows. But fortunately, the Spike Dragon didn't seem to be able to breathe flames anymore, and its throat was only steaming a few times against Qin Qi.

"It seems that you don't want to have so many flames to spew, one-eyed dragon." Qin Qi laughed at it with a steel arrow.

"Even if I don't breathe fire, I can easily bite you coward to pieces." As he spoke, the Thorn Dragon stretched out its front paws and swept forward, but before Qin Qi could react, the steel arrow in his hand had already been thrown into the distant fire. Seeing that the steel arrow in Qin Qi's hand was gone, the Assassin Dragon immediately pounced on the place where Qin Qi was standing, and Qin Qi rolled on the ground, dodging the crushing of the Assassin Dragon. He quickly drew his sword and pointed it at the Spike Dragon.

"Hahaha~" The Piercing Dragon looked up and laughed, "There is no weapon that can hurt me except steel arrows, you think you can defeat me with an iron sword?" ”

"I'll give it a try." With that, Qin Qi picked up a few planks and threw them in front of the Thorn Dragon's eyes. The Turquoise Dragon's vision was blocked, and it shook its head vigorously, trying to get rid of the plank in front of it, but it didn't expect Qin Qi to take advantage of this gap and run up along its arm one by one, and ran directly to its neck with two or three strokes. At this time, Qin Qi held the sword in both hands, raised the sword above his head, and used all the strength of his body to stab the sword into the head of the Spike Dragon.

The Turbosaurus was so struck that it struggled to fly in place, and after a short struggle, it only flapped its wings a few times weakly, and its whole body was spread out on the city wall, and the red light of its eyes gradually receded and turned white.

Seeing that the Spike Dragon was motionless, Qin Qi let go of his hands that were tightly clutched on the hilt of his sword. He stepped down from the back of the spur dragon and sat limply on the guardrail by the wall, looking up at the sky. At this time, there were bursts of cheers from under the city wall, and many people ran up from the stairs, and they lifted Qin Qi, who was sitting on the ground, and kept throwing him into the air. The grassland was full of people cheering for Qin Qi, and the sound of people was wave after wave. Qin Qi was in the hands of the crowd, basically couldn't stop, he pleaded with people to put him down, but the excited people said nothing, and simply carried Qin Qi off the city wall and brought him to Di Daren.

Di Daren was very excited under the support of the two people, he pointed to Qin Qi and said to the people: "People of Horseback City, you have to thank this warrior from Changhu Town, he removed the scourge of the Spike Dragon for us and saved everyone, now I give this warrior the title of Dragon Slayer in front of everyone, no matter what request he makes when he comes to Horseback City in the future, we will unconditionally meet him." ”

As soon as Di Daren's words fell, the cheers of the crowd sounded again, and all kinds of words of blessing reached Qin Qi's ears. Qin Qi watched so many people congratulate him, and although he didn't have much strength left, he still kept waving to the crowd to express his gratitude. Although he was as immersed in the joy of getting rid of the dragon as the people, he still had the letter to Haight Loma and the attack in the Valley of the Wolf's Tooth.

He walked up to Di Da with difficulty in the support of the crowd, and just wanted to tell Di Da about the resistance. At this moment, there was a sound of trumpets from behind, and the sound of the horns was unusually rapid, and it sounded as if something urgent had happened at the east gate.

When Di Da heard the sound of the horn, his face suddenly became serious, he looked up at the sky, and said to himself, "The centaurs have arrived?" ”
