Chapter 138: The End of the Holy Dragon (2)
Ivo and Haag now have their own teams.
Lear had him select a number of marksmen and those with marksman potential from among the slaves he bought, and together with Cuaron's orcs, he formed a team of five hundred marksmen, and Haag became the captain of a thousand-man infantry team.
Due to the lack of horses and heavy armor, Lear had to put on hold plans for Mrak to build the Knights, and Guina officially became Adela's squire and swordsmanship instructor.
Although the team they brought with them this time was only 700 people, all of them were seasoned elites, and Lear would not let those soldiers who had not yet trained themselves to be cannon fodder in a battle of this scale.
Population is now the most important strategic resource in Misty Island.
So the moment they stepped into the beach, the ground battle was like a rolling gear.
Ivo led a team of 300 archers, including crossbowmen, elven archers, and orcs, and fired a neat round of fires as soon as they came into range.
For the time being, Lear didn't let them unify their weapons, but asked the dwarven craftsmen to make crossbows or axes for the archers as much as possible, which must be changed as the team grows, otherwise the supply will be a big problem.
But now, chasing for maximum lethality is the right thing to do.
Axes, feathered arrows, and crossbow arrows rained down on the Fishmen Warriors, as the different speeds and landing points of the materials were sequenced, but the covering blows also made it more difficult for the Fishmen to resist.
Lear's air raids had already taken a toll on the fishmen, and the weaker creatures had already turned into charred corpses on the beach, while the remaining ones, though strong, were not unscathed.
So soon, there were casualties among the fish people again.
They wielded their weapons and fended off falling clusters of arrows and axes, but the distance between them was so spread out that they had to fight on their own.
Except for the crocodile warriors and sea lizards that are not affected by arrows because of their rough skin and thick flesh, the sea spirit kraken can only let out a terrible wail, or have their limbs cut off by a short axe, or they have been nailed to the sand by a series of arrows.
The blue blood was like a glittering crystal in the night, greedily sucked by the sand.
Haag did not rush forward with his men, but led the infantry team in two horizontal columns in front of the archers' phalanx.
After such a long time of cooperation, there is naturally a wordless tacit understanding between him and Ivo.
In fact, the Kraken in the Fish-Man team had already suffered heavy casualties from Lear's air raid, and they were now moving targets without long-range deterrence.
At least until Ivo's archers ran out of ammo, Haq didn't need to go up and fight them, so he stared coldly ahead, sticking to Lear's tactical plan.
Tariq looked like he was about to move, but he didn't dare to do anything wrong without receiving the order to attack.
Since the last time he was severely lectured by Lear for disobeying orders, his arrogance has subdued a lot.
Xiluo stood in place and stared at it, unable to hit it, unable to retreat and retreat.
He had never seen such a cunning human.
In the past, the battles with the pirates were all swarms rushing up to hand-to-hand combat, and after the ship was scuttled into the sea, it was a one-sided slaughter.
The wide expanse of the sea is their best reliance and shield, so that neither the bows and crossbows of the enemy nor the spells of witches can lock onto them.
This kind of situation where you can only be beaten passively when you can't see it or touch it really makes him angry, not to mention that he is not a good-tempered person in the first place.
It wasn't that he didn't want to rush up and wipe out the group of shooters, but the dragon hovering overhead and the spells that fell from time to time allowed him to dodge constantly.
Although the mage had been harassing the crocodile warriors with fireball magic and ice arrows, Siloh could feel that the other party's mental power had never left his body.
As long as he slackened a little, he didn't have to think that a super powerful spell would fall on top of his head.
After a few more minutes, under the suppression of this double long-range strike of land and air, Xiluo finally couldn't hold on.
He's just hot-tempered and brutal, and it's not really that he doesn't have a fighting mind, otherwise Schanel wouldn't have put the most important team of sea serpents and crocodile warriors under his command.
He decided to retreat, this kind of battle with no strength to fight back is meaningless, holding on will only increase unnecessary casualties, and this battle is not for nothing.
At least he understood that there were many ways to fight in addition to naval warfare, and air supremacy was one of the most important.
After going back, I will make a suggestion to Schanel to strengthen the domestication of sea eagles, and the magic of the sea monster combined with the flight ability of sea eagles can form an absolute air strike ability.
Just as Silo was so complacent at his discovery that he forgot the pain of the battle for a moment, Lear once again harnessed the Holy Dragon Soul Shadow to lower his altitude.
Judging from the attack on Lear just now, the sea snake's vertical leaping ability plus venom is about forty meters away from the air attack, so he has been hovering at a height of about fifty meters, in order to ensure his absolute safety, even at the expense of the efficiency of some spell casting.
But now that he sensed Silo's intention to escape, how could he let him get his way?
"Roar!"
After another trembling dragon groan, some of the creatures on the ground were suddenly trapped in boundless fear and could not move, including Lear's own team.
There was no way, Lear couldn't control the sound waves and dragon power of the holy dragon, and this indiscriminate attack made him very painful.
Sure enough, when the black shadow brought by the Holy Dragon's Wingspan descended on the beach again, the calm and waveless sea surface also mutated again.
The two sea snakes had been lurking under the surface of the sea all along, ignoring Ivo and the others on the shore just to prevent the Holy Dragon from attacking again.
"Sizzle!"
A sea snake screamed and rushed out of the sea, first spewing a large mouthful of venom at the holy dragon as it had just done, and then the hideous snake mouth quickly tore at the belly of the holy dragon, and a huge shadow appeared on the surface of the sea at the same time in another place, and the other had already circled the side of the holy dragon and the huge snake head had rushed out of the ocean.
Enemies on both sides!
Lear was expressionless, his arm jerked to his right, and a mouthful of cold dragon breath spewed towards the newly emerging sea serpent.
The biting cold instantly rushed into the seawater, and the sea surface with a radius of twenty meters suddenly became a thick ice mirror, and the sea snake had just opened its bloody mouth and became an ugly ice sculpture.
But soon, fine cracks appeared on the ice sculpture.
After all, it was a quasi-seventh-level creature, and even the breath of the Holy Dragon could not kill it instantly.
But all Lear wants is a momentary delay, and his real goal is the one under his feet.
In the face of the fishy venom rushing to his face, Lear did not dodge or dodge, and a ball of blue light flew out of his hand and went straight into the venom, but the fishy and thick black water dissipated in the air in an instant, and there was not even a single smell of water droplets.
Exorcism.
And when the sea snake's sharp teeth were about to touch the belly of the Holy Dragon Soul Shadow, its originally illusory dragon claws instantly turned into solidified ice.
Without any delay, the sea snake's huge mouth pierced through the soul shadow of the holy dragon, and at the same time, the holy dragon's male claws also grabbed the sea snake's body fiercely.
Like an eagle catching a snake, the sea snake's physical attack did not bring any damage to the holy dragon, because it had no entity at all, but the ice claws of the holy dragon made the sea snake let out a painful hiss in an instant.
The sharp ice pierced the sea serpent's body, and the green blood spilled in the air like a huge raindrop, and it writhed and struggled in pain, turning around and squirting a mouthful of venom into the body of the holy dragon, but it was the same effect as before.
The cold in Lear's eyes soared, and the holy dragon under his feet drooped his head and roared, and a mouthful of dragon breath spewed fiercely into his claws, and when he was hit by the dragon's breath so closely, the sea snake instantly turned into a huge popsicle.
The body of the holy dragon rose again, and when it reached a height of nearly two hundred meters, its claws changed and became the same shadow as its body, and the sea snake popsicle was thrown down the huge rocky cliff.
"No!"
Silo stood on the beach and watched this scene, it didn't matter if he lost some warriors, at most he would go back and be scolded by Schanel, but if he lost a sea serpent, then I am afraid that even he would not be able to bear the thunderous anger of the lord.
You must know that there are only five sea snakes in Schanel's sea snake lair, which he still bought from other fish-man lords at a great price, and if he dies, it will be an eternal loss, and there is nowhere to replenish it.
But Lear didn't care what he thought, and before the sea snake could hit the ground, a thunderbolt of lightning that was several meters thicker than a bucket and long slammed into the middle of the sea snake's popsicle.
With the sound of glass shattering, the sea snake fell directly on the cliff into countless ice blocks, gurgling blood continued to flow out of each ice block, and the green cliff wall also stained the beach.
Dead can't be dead anymore.
At this time, the sea snake on the sea had just broken free from the shackles of the dragon's breath and shattered the cold ice around it, but the dim light in its eyes was obviously not very good.
Lear hovered at a height of dozens of meters and stared coldly at the sea under his feet, the huge phantom blue wings of the holy dragon under him kept fanning, but the color of his whole body looked much lighter and more transparent than at first.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
Silo roared hysterically, and at this moment, he finally realized that this battle was completely out of his control.
"Humph!"
Lear snorted coldly, the magic power in his chest was rapidly dissipating, and the power borrowed from Yasha after this battle would eventually return to Yasha, in this case, how could he do it without taking enough money with interest.
Since you want to go, then I'll give you a ride.
