Chapter 550: Mortal VS Dragon
The magic crystal cannon is a very destructive weapon equipped by many countries on the mainland, using the core made of several magic crystals to condense the internal magic power and launch it, even the artillery of the original world of Yalin is stronger in terms of power, although it is not as far as the artillery in terms of range, but it is more than enough to use it in the other world that still relies on cold weapons to fight, if you want to say a fatal shortcoming, that is, the firing speed of the magic crystal cannon is quite slow, and every time you fire a cannon, you need to replace the magic crystal that consumes the magic power, and this process greatly delays the rate of fire。
And it was precisely because of the rate of fire that the twenty magic crystal cannons in place could not form an effective fire network to block the black dragon. For the gunner in charge of manipulating the magic crystal cannon, compared to aiming at infantry and cavalry that are relatively slow on the ground and in a straight line of vision, the black dragon flying at high speed in the sky is extremely difficult to hit, let alone hitting the opponent.
As for the archers, there is no arrangement at all, no one thinks that the arrows that have been shot by human strength can penetrate the black scale armor that looks like even a battle axe cannot be split, and the placement of archers will give people a very stupid feeling.
"Concentrate the fire, don't spread it too far!!" shouted the front-line commander hoarsely as he watched the battle situation coming back from the detection magic.
In order to pursue lethality, the magic crystal cannon usually uses scattering to shock the enemy on the battlefield, but now the commander has to let the gunners concentrate their firepower together, the flight speed of the black dragon is too fast, and it seems that the opponent has already broken into the arsenal by firing two shots at most.
Just as the gunners desperately turned the handle to adjust the angle, the black dragon that was already close at hand slowly opened its mouth, and almost visible to the naked eye witnessed a purple-black ball of light began to condense in the blood-red and fangy mouth, and in the next moment, the ball of light was compressed into a beam of light and shot straight out of the dragon's mouth, and even the surrounding air fluctuated violently in an instant, and the wind almost swept the ground, and a position targeted by the dragon was directly reduced along with half of the small hillside. The gunners and soldiers on the hillside had completely disappeared from the world before they even had time to perceive the pain.
When the ominous black flame soared into the sky and rose to obscure the moon's fluorescence, the faces of the remaining thousands of soldiers showed a look of shock and waver.
Leonas, who was in the command room of the arsenal, stared blankly at the picture in the crystal ball, the blow of the black dragon just now directly turned a hillside into a deep pit, and the ground was completely turned into a rancid quagmire under the corrosion of the dark element. Today, Leonas finally understands why so many myths and poems always describe the dragon as the ultimate enemy of the brave, why so many poets from ancient times to the present day continue to describe the strength of the dragon, and finally understands that those novels about the 'dragon slayer' are all lies. A giant dragon can crush a regular army in terms of strength, how can these powerful creatures in the world be easily strangled by a few humans.
"That's why I told you to run away quickly~ little ghost"
Tenaya's slightly sarcastic voice, who had just returned from outside, rang out.
Tennaya didn't feel too ashamed of Leonas and the mages who came with them at the moment, they were already superior and powerful beings in the secular world, and after being praised and feared for so long, they must have occasionally felt a little self-satisfied, thinking that they were now at the peak of their power. Now after facing the dragon that should only appear in myths and stories, the terrifying destructive power and overwhelming power will definitely make their minds chaotic, and to be honest, now that Leonas can leave and escape using teleportation magic without being frightened, Tenaya has admired his courage.
"The second position was destroyed┉┉"
"The third position has also been attacked!!"
The bad news kept coming. The twenty magic crystal cannons barely carried out three rounds of fire before they were all destroyed under the dragon's breath, and the landscape in the valley near the arsenal was completely changed, and only one of the more than sixty shells of artillery fire slightly grazed the black dragon's wings, and then there was no more success. In the first round of the offensive, an artillery squadron of the Karlsmen Empire was completely reimbursed, and the number of dead and wounded soldiers exceeded 800. Although there were still more than 6,000 soldiers and more than twenty mages, including Tenaya and Leonas, no one would feel safe now, even if there was only one enemy.
Without the magic crystal cannon, the arsenal is now equivalent to losing its means of defense, and the black dragon seems to have recognized this arsenal and has no regard for some soldiers who survived under the dragon's breath. Straight towards the arsenal flew in.
At this time, witnessing the sight of the murderous black dragon flying from the crystal ball, the mage who came with Leonas could no longer suppress the fear in his heart: "We must get out of here immediately." This ┉┉ This black dragon exists from time to time that we can fight against. ”
"Do you mean to just let the Black Dragon tear down the Empire's arsenal to ruins?"
The armories in the valley produce powerful weapons that have been lost from ancient times, and a large part of the country's finances, including the indemnity received for this victory in the war against the Kingdom of Kreses, are spent here, and if he abandons and flees now, even if he can survive from the mouth of the black dragon, His Royal Highness will never forgive anyone.
After being viciously warned by Leonas for a while, some mages who were originally a little shaken in their hearts also summoned up a little courage again. Rather than running away to face the judgment of the Empire or even to his loved ones, it may be better to fight and die at the hands of the Black Dragon here.
"When will the portal be ready?"
"Miss Tennaya, do you want to leave here and run away?"
It was not easy to appease these mages, but Tenaya on the side seemed to think that the situation was not bad enough to add fuel to the fire, so that Leonas finally couldn't help but yell at this half-elf who usually made him afraid and have a headache.
"My role as the Director of Magical Technology is tasked with parsing the data and providing it to the Carl Cermen Empire. As for going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, it is no longer part of our contract. ”
When Tennaya said this, Leonas was speechless.
"Besides, I didn't say I was going to run away, but I had to make sure my little pets and maids were safe. ”
After saying this, Tena ignored Leonas and pulled open the mage who was adjusting the portal, and began to replace the portal's power-plant with a new core.
Ordinary teleportation techniques are limited for teleportation distance, and in order to ensure that the teleportation does not deviate, the mage must locate it, which will leave obvious spatial fluctuations to be tracked by the black dragon, and it will not take too much time for the black dragon's speed to chase it over. And the portal has already positioned the teleportation location without leaving too obvious traces, and the extremely long teleportation distance is the best way to get rid of the black dragon in one go.
"You should still have a way to fight that black dragon, Miss Tenaya. ”
At this time, a middle-aged mage in the mage team who was raised with Leonas and had a level 17 magic level emblem walked out and asked behind him with a slight bow.
Tennaya squinted and looked at the other party slightly, the middle-aged man, who is also a level 17 mage, is obviously much stronger than Rionas in the use of magic, but Leonas is better than young, and when Leonas also reaches the same age as him, when experience and wisdom make up for the jerkiness, he should be far stronger than the current man.
"My name is Entesus, and I am a mage from the Tower of the Sage, and I was originally invited by Prince Augusta to assist Miss Tenaya, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. Entesus said calmly, without showing any disrespect at all.
"The Tower of the Sage?I'll get to know you in the future, it's not time now┉┉"
Tenaya didn't pay much attention to these mages from the Sage's Tower, but paid attention to the movements of the black dragon, after defeating the defenders on the front line, the black dragon had come to the top of the arsenal, and at this time, the defensive circle around the arsenal was also activated, and the blue light formed a semi-circular spherical shield to envelop the entire arsenal, this is a magic circle for the protection of large cities, theoretically even if hundreds of mages bombard in turn, they can't break the magic circle in a short time, but now in the face of the dragon's breath that changed the landscape in an instant, anyone doesn't have much hope for the magic circle in their hearts。
"Do you think these ants can beat me? stupid guys, this is just delaying your death!!"
The roar of the black dragon echoed in everyone's ears, and many people in the room subconsciously focused their eyes on Tenaya, obviously even those who were not sure of the situation also knew who the black dragon's words were aimed at.
Leonas didn't have time to care why Tenaya provoked the black dragon, but immediately used amplification magic, since the black dragon was able to speak, it meant that there was a possibility of communication with the other party.
"Please wait for the powerful black dragon I am a mage of the Karlser Gate Empire, I hope you can calm your anger, what is there to offend you┉┉"
"You bugs and ants just have to die!!"
The enraged Garrodus couldn't listen to Leonas at all, not to mention that Leonas was still a human who made the black dragon despise and disgust the most. The breath with the strong dark elemental power of the opening mouth had already hit the shield hard, and the entire shield suddenly flashed with a blue light, but as the black dragon's breath began to weaken more and more, even the shield itself began to appear a large number of cracks, which obviously could not be supported for too long.
Sure enough, although this guy was angry, he was also very concerned about the safety of Aisha's life, and he didn't dare to breathe with all his strength as soon as he came, but slowly tried to weaken the shield.
Tena watched as the shield shattered, and the Ring of Life and Death reappeared in the hands of the female mage, a short teleportation that allowed the female mage to appear in the huge building of the Arsenal, directly opposite the black dragon that was spitting dragon breath.
Next, to surprise the lizard, Tenaya silently chanted the incantation, while some tall black figures awoke in the warehouse behind the arsenal with magical light. (To be continued......)
