Chapter 165: Bitter Battle

Why do dragons occupy the first place among powerful creatures in Western stories? In any game or story, if a dragon appears, it must be at the top of the food chain.

Large, thick-skinned, and generally extremely resistant to magic in different settings, many of them also have their own multi-element breath, and some are also good at powerful magic based on dragon language. And most importantly, they fly.

The human warriors on the ground, if they don't use powerful bows and arrows or long-range magic, can't touch the dragon's body at all. They soar freely above the sky, looking down at the ants and insects on the ground, and swooping down with powerful breaths and giant claws that swoop down...... In the world of The Elder Scrolls, the people here have not yet learned to build giant bed crossbows to attack them. In Skyrim Province, the only item that can be said to be used to restrain a giant dragon is a huge mechanism in the Dragon Palace in Snow City, which once successfully locked a downed dragon in ancient times.

Sadako Yamamura commanded the ghouls' troops to retreat. She knew from the beginning that the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. If there is only one dragon, then her ghouls can compete with an array of powerful arrows. But with three dragons together, these ghouls will be quickly torn to shreds in a matter of turns. What's more, even if she could use these ghouls to completely destroy the three dragons, there would be more than twenty dragons in Mosar far away...... Powerful enough to sweep across the entire Skyrim Province.

If Su Jing and Lu Mengyao are still there, then the three of them may be able to compete with these dragons when they join forces...... But it's still hard to win. At best, we can retreat intact. If those two guys can come up with some strange ideas, they may be able to slowly wear down each other's combat power one by one. But confront these dragons head-on...... No way.

What is it for...... What the hell are these dragons hidden in the sky? What about attacking Mossar? Sadako Yamamura couldn't figure it out. As a plot character who hadn't played much of a game, Su Jing had already spent a while telling her all her understanding of this world. It also gave her great freedom of movement, allowing her to choose her own route.

Only the Dragon of Destruction, Alduin, is the only one at the top of the Dragons who can drive these dragons, and only his highest rank at the top of the dragon clan can forcibly order them to re-summon these dead dragons from the turbulence of time and make them reappear in the world. But...... It's so abnormal.

Alduin may have summoned these dead dragons out of a desire to bring more death and fear, and had them attack and destroy humanity. But in the original game, there was never a large cluster attack of this magnitude. The haughty and mighty dragon Alduin had always allowed his men to destroy it at will, and only the mightiest would be used by it to defend its altars...... There is a passage to the "Songard", the spiritual world of the Nords after their death. Travel to a space-time portal in an oblivion plane.

So...... Sadako Yamamura thought quickly, the only people who could change the original course of this world were adventurers. If it weren't for Su Jing and Lu Mengyao, it would be the third adventurer who caused this fact, that Su Jing had encountered the "Thousand Nights Lion Roar" that he had seen on the peak of Hosga......

A flame-based Elder Dragon swooped down and spat a torrent of flames into the scattered line of ghouls. The crimson flame stream swept along the ground in a path of flames, and the three-headed ghoul that was swept away was on fire, and the powerful flame spout wiped out the most spitting of life. Sadako Yamamura felt a slight stinging pain deep in her skull, a sign of the destruction of her summon.

But there are many more ghouls who shoot iron arrows. These funerary weapons have weathered over hundreds of years. It still retains its original power. Bowstrings and well-polished arrows that have been carefully tended in grease and wraps have lost some of their power, but the good materials and construction that have stood the test of time still allow them to regain their lethality. Driven by mana, these undead creatures have arm strength and inexhaustible stamina.

Under the shot of these eager ancient arrows, the careless dragon suddenly suffered a heavy blow, and these elite ghouls who still retained their fighting instincts all aimed at the dragon's weakness and shot. Weak joints and roots of the head, wings. These are the dead quarters of a dragon. As long as they lose the ability to fly, then they almost lose their greatest advantage. The dragon crawling on the ground, no matter how powerful, is nothing more than a larger beast.

The ancient Nords fought against dragons. A thousand years ago, the former Nord Three defeated Alduin and his dragon army on the Heights of Hosga. Banished the evil Devourer of the World Realm out of the stream of time for a thousand years. They knew how to fight dragons and what the weaknesses of these powerful creatures were. These techniques are passed down through word of mouth.

There's just one tip:

Let them hit the ground!

The ghouls above the lord level under her command still retain their fighting wisdom during their lifetime, and the ghoul lord retains a certain amount of thinking ability. It raised its ebony greatsword, one of the finest weapons in the Skyrim Province as a testament to its extraordinary stature. Ebony, or another way of translating it, can be called dark iron. These rare and heavy metals are capable of forging the most powerful metal armor and weapons other than dragon bone weapons, and only the best warriors are qualified to wield weapons of this material.

Under the guidance of the Ebony Greatsword, the ghoul lords below it all spat out their mighty dragon roars at the flaming dragons in the sky. Death did not make them forget the dragon roar they had practiced, but it made their dead souls clearer. The pure dragon's roar rippled in the air with the breath of the law, and they all hit the dragon that was set on fire by the bow and arrow.

Hit by several powerful volleys, the flaming dragon froze in mid-air for a brief moment, then rolled and lost its balance and slammed into the steep mountain wall. There was a loud bang. It crashed into a large chunk of rock and slid down the hillside.

The ghoul lord who had been waiting there for a long time pounced with his giant sword. It circled at a subtle angle that prevented the dragon from biting down on the undead warrior shrouded in steel armor with its fangs. Then, it swung its heavy ebony greatsword and slashed at the dragon's neck. It didn't die, but caused the heavy blade to slice through the dragon's muscles and skin at a very clever angle, without touching the hardest bones to keep them from getting stuck in them.

A strong wind struck from behind the ghoul Maharaja, and it was another dragon. The beasts were still in the mood to watch the play and play, but when their own people were struck down by these lowly insects, the dragon immediately swooped down. Intent on catching the powerful necromantic warrior with his claws. But the other party immediately noticed this situation and rolled on the spot to dodge.

With Sadako Yamamura hiding behind a rock in the middle, each ghoul can see the entire battle situation, and the real-time spirit connection allows them to share their perspective and information. Under the vague orders of Sadako Yamamura, the master of the undead, the command system of these ghouls was issued layer by layer, with the most powerful and intelligent ghoul lord coordinating the overall situation, the three-headed ghoul lord as the command, and more than 20 punisher ghouls as harassing archers, and an effective command system has been established. This is also the tactics that Sadako Yamamura has figured out by herself in the past few days. Aware of her lack of frontal combat effectiveness and squad command, she decided to hand over the command of the battlefield to the experienced Undead Lord, and let herself exist as a relay point for information and the commander of overall strategy.

"It would be nice if I could learn the legendary strongest dragon battle roar 'Dragon Break'......" Sadako Yamamura curled up behind a rock, wrapping herself in a cloak. The gray horse that had been riding lay in front of her. Push her hand with her wet nose. She patted the frightened gray horse with her hand, soothing its mind as she gathered her spirit to provide information to the ghouls on the battlefield. At the same time, she also tried to use her spiritual power to contact these dragons, wanting to use her powerful spiritual power to suppress and even control these dragons......

But the idea failed.

The spirit and mind of the dragon and the human being are two completely different sets of thinking. Sadako Yamamura couldn't get in at all. It's like running a program written in two languages, trying to crack this kind of thinking. What is needed is a deep understanding of the nature of dragons. Sadako Yamamura is not yet able to do this, and the dragon's will she perceives is like a sharp wall made of crystal, completely blocking the prying eyes of her thoughts. She tried to cut in from different frequency bands, but most of them failed.

With the right know-how, these crystal barriers can become as soft as water......

Suddenly, a low-intensity shock came from the ground, tossing her off the ground in small motions before falling back into the snow. The wind swept over her head, the whistling of wings, the thumping of footsteps—everything that seemed familiar to her was telling her the truth—that a dragon had landed on the ground.

She quickly connected to the ghouls, whose signs had dimmed, all of them dead under the dragon's claws. With a thud, the body of a draugr landed on the slope about thirty meters away from her, and a dark gray dragon hovered high in the air, letting out a victorious roar. This is one of the dragons' favorite tactics, using their claws to grab their prey from the ground, then fly high into the air and throw them down, allowing gravity to tear them to pieces.

Sadako Yamamura let out a low cry of pain, and through the eyes of the ghoul she saw, just behind the rock where she was currently hiding. A giant dragon more than ten meters long landed on the hillside, vigilantly patrolling the surroundings.

Farther away, the flame-based dragon that had been knocked down at the beginning had been slain by the ghouls clinging to it like ants. More than seven or eight draugr punishers pounced, slicing deep into the dragon's wings and joints with their swords and battle axes, and right around its neck was a jet-black two-handed greatsword that pierced the dragon's spine completely.

Sadako Yamamura covered her mouth, the dragon, which was only a few meters away, seemed to be looking for a suitable angle from which to kill as many ghouls as possible with the energy it spewed out in one go. So it hasn't found Sadako Yamamura hiding behind the rocks yet.

Just then, the gray horse let out a chirp, and the dragon quickly turned its head.

"Okay......"

Sadako Yamamura pinched the handprint in her left hand, chanted a spell to protect the barrier in her mouth, and raised the slender staff in her right hand and stood up from behind the boulder. She held the gray horse behind her, gritted her teeth, and squinted at the dragon in front of her.

At all costs...... If I were really as powerful as I thought I was...... So, let me face it.

The dragon took a deep breath.

In the next second, Ritsuri's spell spat out from between its fangs and hit Sadako Yamamura head-on. (To be continued......)
