Section B, Chapter 28: Dragon Hunting Arrow (Edus)

"This ...... This is ......" Eders staggered back and stared in horror at the thick arrow that had just fallen from the window: "The dragon hunting arrow for the dragon hunting bow ......"

"Huh, the dragon hunting bow?" Quill was also taken aback, "Wait...... Even the Corrupted wouldn't be able to get the Dragon Hunting Bow, would they? Eternal Winter should always prohibit forging dragon hunting equipment. โ€

"That's not the point. Eddes didn't dare to approach the window: "How can a normal human be able to wield such a big bow? In the past, only dragon knights and baptized dragon hunters who had the power of dragon blood infused with dragon blood could obtain this terrible power......

"Don't forget that they're not ordinary people. Quill reminded, "Corruptors who have been corrupted by the black ice. โ€

"You don't need to be reminded of that. Eddes anxiously knocked on the helmet on the table, "Could it be that the black ice has strengthened their strength to such an extent...... Judging from the speed and accuracy of the arrow just now, that person was definitely a top shooter in his life. โ€

In this way, Deirno's inference is completely correct. Quill spoke, "The Corruptors who burst into the fourth floor are just bait. Because when fighting them, I didn't feel that the enemy's strength was unbelievably strong. โ€

"I don't feel that way. I clearly felt that the enemy was stronger than the average soldier. Eders gave him a blank look, "Don't show off your strength, Quill. โ€

"I can't help it if you insist on thinking so. Quill twisted his rattling neck, "But I always feel like the enemy somehow let out water when they fought us." โ€

"If you really want to release the water, you will kill so many of us?" Edus interrupted the conversation impatiently.

"Captain, according to our inference...... The corrupters must be soldiers of sentinel units and hunters who hunt in the eastern mountains? Deerno, who had been looking out the window in a daze, suddenly said, "Do you know any soldier whose marksmanship is so skilled?"

"I've never seen anything like this. Eders thought for a moment and shook his head blankly.

"So, Captain Eders......" Deleno put on a classic melancholy expression again, "I wonder if you remember the Eurasian army in the Frozen Wasteland?"

"What? Yes, of course. Eders knocked on his helmet: "So what?"

"It's ......," De Nor opened his mouth, redoing his old habit of wanting to stop talking. Before Eders could speak, Quill was not happy at all: "Derenor, you always only talk half of what you say, it's purely annoying, right? โ€

"I, I'm not going to say it. Dereno seemed intimidated by Quill's menacing expression.

"Don't say it! Eders hurriedly took over the conversation: "If you have an idea in the future, just say it, Denor." โ€

"It's a lot of hard work, and I think it's purely because I read too many books. Quill snorted, "I've been reading books for seven years at the Mage Academy, and I really admire you to death." โ€

"Can't you just shut up?" Eddes yelled in displeasure, "No one takes you for a dumb person!"

"Forget it, I'll just shut up. Quill turned his head away from Edus.

"Alright, Denor. Those frozen armies in the Frozen Wasteland, huh......? And then?" said Edus, trying to make his tone sound calmer.

"Well, I'm thinking about ......" Derno lowered his head and thought for a moment before looking up and continuing, "I always thought that there should be a few dragon hunters in the Eurasian army, didn't I?"

"What?" Eddes was once again stunned by Deerno's statement, he couldn't remember how many times it was tonight, "You mean, the soldiers inside the ice sculptures have been freed from their shackles and joined the army of the Corruptor?"

"That's it. Deerno still nodded hesitantly: "As for why I think there are dragon hunters in those frozen armies...... That's because there has been rumor that the Ice Dragons will work with the Children of Ice to resist the invaders. The Eurasian gang should consider the threat posed by the ice dragon, and will definitely send dragon hunters to accompany them. โ€

That seems to make sense. Eders couldn't help but tap his helmet more often.

"Dragon Hunter...... Powerful classes dedicated to dragon knights and dragons. Although the Children of Ice do not have a tradition of training dragon knights, the Ice Dragons who protect Winterfell will never be despised by the Eurasian Dynasty. Deerno muttered to himself, "According to the literature, only a very small number of elite warriors are eligible to undergo the ritual to become dragon hunters. The dragon knights and dragon hunters of the Eurasian dynasty are known for their legendary prowess, and those dragon hunters who have come with the army to invade the Frozen Lands should be the elite among them. In this way, it is not surprising that the precision of the arrow just now. โ€

Although there are several grammatical errors in Denor's self-talk, the repetition of the same noun is confusing. But Eddes already knew exactly what Deerno meant: "Dragon Hunter......" Captain's mind was in turmoil: "Damn it...... If it was really a dragon hunter, then the army frozen by the dragon god would have been thawed - it was an army of tens of thousands of corruptors!"

"The situation is overwhelmingly unfavorable. Eders sat back in his chair anxiously, "Eternal Winter City is sparsely populated and has not been fought for a long time, and the number of soldiers is deadly low. Originally, the standing army of the capital was only 1,000 men, and not counting the recruits who had just trained for a month to deal with the breath of winter...... It adds up to only 4,000 people. โ€

"Normally, you don't care about the tenfold difference in numbers in a city defense. Deerno spoke again: "The terrain of Neverwinter is well defended, and there is no army that can carry and transport enough supplies to besiege the city - besides, our food crops are planted in the city. However, dealing with the Corruptor cannot be thought of in terms of known theories. โ€

"I remember the maester telling me that the corruptor don't need to sleep or eat. The more Eddes thought about it, the more he felt a headache: "And, the damn thing - what if those armies all pour out of the Frost Castle? In the face of an attack from within, we simply cannot confront ten times the number of Corruptors on our side." โ€

"If you don't send the letter soon, everything you two said will come true. Quill said in a thick voice, "Damn, there's only one crow left...... You're going to come up with an idea to get the letter out, strategist?"

"Ah, I'm thinking. Deleno looked in a daze again, and Eders couldn't help but feel a pang of distress.

After a few minutes, Deerno still looked in a daze. Quill couldn't bear it anymore and asked impatiently, "Can you do it?"

"No, I can't. Deerno, who had no expression in a daze, said with a bitter face: "I really can't think of it this time......"

"Wellโ€”"

With a violent sound of air rubbing, Quill's words were interrupted. Looking at the dragon hunting arrow stuck in front of his feet, Quill's face turned pale.

The cone-shaped arrows exploded in vain, filling the room with the strange chill of the Corruptor.
