Chapter 146: "One Against One, or One Army Against One"

Almost as the Medici Potbelly General was about to relinquish his command and allow his soldiers to put up "heroic" self-resistance, Quest explained the second necessary reason for "why he should obey his dragon Pasha".

The ballista positions of the Usang Ballistae, which were pouring arrows on the banks of the Niro River, were suddenly attacked, and they rushed out of the cave dug by the Argonian tribe, and the army of the Dragon Clan found the crossbow soldiers who were intently aiming. Although the captains of the Usang Pan who were supervising the battle in the position immediately organized a revolt, they were inevitably annihilated in the short-range charge of the combined forces of the desert kobolds and the lizardmen.

Seeing this change, the Usan mage and the freedfolk swordsman immediately commanded the Duchu slave warriors who attacked the Medici fleet in the center of the river to send part of the rear army to help, but unfortunately the second wave of Quith's blows followed.

As soon as they appeared, they launched a fierce "air attack" on the Usang people - the protruding acid of the bipedal wyvern was like a strong acid rain from high in the sky, but all the enemy soldiers who poured on their bodies jumped into the water one after another under the intense pain of flesh and bone erosion, and the lightning breath of the young blue dragons was even more deadly, like electric fish in the "crackling" electric sparks on the surface of the Niro River, and the dead Usang warriors turned into floating corpses on the surface of the river.

Without the support of ranged troops, the warriors of the Duchu slaves would not be able to cope with the blow from the air, no matter how fierce they were to the death. The young blue dragon led the bipedal wyvern to "sweep" the enemy army like a plow, until all the accumulated breath was exhausted, and then he greeted the lord of the dragon's nest standing on the flagship of the Medici army and left.

In fact, when the dragons wantonly spread death, the Usang mage originally wanted to fight back. It was only under the combined attack of two powerful warriors and a ferocious ogre magician that they were crushed earlier, and in the end, only a few people who had prepared escape spells in advance found a glimmer of life.

The Medici generals saw that it was clearly the dragon Pasha's men, and so quickly destroyed the well-prepared enemy. The elimination of the crisis certainly made him breathe a sigh of relief, but a new question haunted his heart, and he didn't vomit or be unhappy: "With Your Excellency's elite subordinates, why do you still need to dispatch our troops, could it be that there is a lack of human soldiers who are in a charge?"

Quest heard the implication of his words - "You have such strong subordinates, why do you still care about this army, do you want this army to be cannon fodder?" The dragon and wyvern races can indeed dominate the sky, but the maximum range of the conventional breath attack is only 100 feet, while the effective range of the human bow and crossbow can easily reach two or even three times the range of the breath; it takes three years to train a longbowman, half a month is enough for a strong crossbowman, and there are hundreds or thousands of crossbow legions, and the young blue dragons who participated in the battle are only more than thirty even if they count the wyvern race......

The young blue dragon has no reason to use his own "superior talent" to fight the enemy's "middle horse" and "lower horse", but there is no need for him to completely put these thoughts into words, and Quesi's face showed a smile as if he was winning: "General, this is a war." ”

Medici's legions did not have the courage of the Utesans, and after clearing the river, they left behind the ships that brought them and built a simple dock, and Quest acquiesced to the Potbelly's manpower to guard the vehicles. There is no need to push too hard, just like the boss of the company in the previous life had to pay overtime even if he vigorously promoted the "996" work system in the company, learning to persuade by exchange has always been a compulsory course for managers.

The chips obtained in exchange for the rapid march of the Medici Legion were a full sixteen hourglasses, and fortunately, the ships also transported a large number of camels - in addition to the baggage, the soldiers could ride in batches to repair each hourglass.

The dragon Pasha ordered not only these elite troops of the empire, but also the green jade city and rust city in the province that had not yet fallen, and they were also sent from the garrison guards, led by the herald of the dragon clan to take a shortcut from the dragon's lair territory. When the three Medici armies were brought together, a counterinsurgency army with a total strength of nearly 50,000 joined forces outside the storm barrier surrounding the city of Nome.

The desert night was cold, and the slightest gust of wind leaking from the storm barrier teased the torches of the army. The Uzeans had already sniffed the enemy coming, and a small team of messengers crossed the barrier of sand and storms, bringing with them an invitation to battle signed "Brittany, the orthodox Pharaoh of Medici", but in fact from the handwritten letter of the Admiral's staff—"One for one, or one for one army......

After throwing the letter written on silk cloth into the campfire next to him, Quest searched for the messenger who had been restrained by the "Monster Immobilization" to find the terracotta figurines used to cast spells and the explosives that had been installed on it. At the same time, in the astonished gaze of these messengers, the spell was lifted.

"How dare you do this!, the Courier ......" before the Courier could finish his protest, his terracotta figurines were thrown into the sky by Quest, wrapped in hooded robes, the steampunk half-lich stretched out his metal palm and flicked it slightly, and a violent explosion resounded in the air.

Two black lion claws protruded from the courier's robes, and the deceived and fooled human lion took out his anger on the jackal-minions who should have been loyal to him—the couriers turned out to be a group of monsters.

As early as they approached the camp, the young blue dragon with real vision had already seen through the camouflage on their bodies. Besides, how could Quest, who had led Barto's Nine Prison Army through the bottomless abyss, not smell the faint smell of Tanari demons emanating from these monsters.

The Human Lion, also known as Lamia, is an evil species created by the corrupted mortal slaves of Six-Fingered Grazt, one of the Big Three of the Abyss, and spread to the physical plane. And if there is a saying in this world that "the tiger is the tiger", then the jackal created by the demon lord "ignating" the jackal is an accomplice to assist it in doing evil.

Due to the perverted aesthetic preferences of their creators, Lamia, with their handsome humanoid upper body and four-legged lion lower body, usually indulges in the pursuit of luxury. Surrounded by hedonism, Lamia tends to forget the orders of her demonic master, but thanks to her appearance in line with Grazt's "little hobby", these creatures are eventually saved from destruction and thrive on the physical plane.

They usually raided caravans and villages to obtain tapestries and costumes to decorate their deserted cities or the lairs of kings' tombs...... and a series of flashy creations. Lamia is rarely hired by humans, and trying to use enslavement spells to drive them risks angering the boss who sits on the three-level abyss plane.

"The human lion is willing to crawl out of his comfort zone to serve the Uzons, and there must be a demon of the Abyss behind it, if not at the behest of Grazt himself. Looking at the "messenger" who was venting his anger, Quest thought to himself, "But this kind of guy who thinks very highly of himself would not have thought that he would be used as a suicide bomber by the Usan." ”

Indeed, although the human lion is mediocre in combat - except for the advantage of size, the weapon they are good at using with a humanoid upper body is actually a short dagger - but this demonic creature is naturally good at using seductive spells, and they are indeed the best choice for diplomats with their good looks and friendly conversation, especially after touching the enemy with the terracotta figurines they carry with them, and often the talent "command technique" will work.

But it didn't expect that the terracotta figurine would be tampered with - it could be reimbursed along with it, and the only people who could access the spell item were the seemingly loyal "Jackal" slaves. This makes the human lion feel sad about being betrayed, and also the shame of being fooled.

The human lion fell into a rage, but after attacking the first jackal with its claws, it was unable to do anything about the remaining jackals that had turned into half-human and half-jackals, moving from side to side with scimitars. On the contrary, it also has to be careful of the latter's hypnotic gaze, several jackals fight in groups, and the human lion with only two eyes will be hit if he is not careful.

"It seems that this human lion really can't fight, which of you is going to help it?" Queth, who had lost his patience, motioned to Jensen beside him to hurry up and put an end to this monster's infighting farce, and the paladin did as he was told.

The wrought-steel sword that swung like a wheel slashed diagonally into the head of the roaring human lion, and although the monster blocked it with its dagger, it did not escape being stunned by the spine of the sword. Seeing this, the jackals scattered and fled, and they used their hypnotic gaze to deal with the imperialist sergeants who were surrounded by guns.

"Shield Strike: Evil Slash!"

The round shield infused with holy power put an end to the trajectory of the Transformed Jackals scattering and fleeing, and the round shield that hit its back repeatedly jumped, each impact would inflict a heavy blow on these chaotic and evil creatures, but only the Transformed Jackal who was slashed by Jensen himself with a sword escaped with his life.

The spell that blocked out the sound was casually cast by Quis's spell advisor.

"You'd better be honest. I ask you to answer, and if there is a mantra bondage, nod and shake your head. Sneijder lifted his hood, and three feet of light shot out from the mechanical skull, and the jackal, affected by the "fear gaze", nodded in agreement.

"Lamia, the human lion, was instructed by the devil to serve the Usan?"

The jackal nodded.

"That demon is Ge...... , the creator of your race?"

The jackal shook his head.

"Was your betrayal of Lamia instigated by the Ussan or by the devil?"

This time, the jackal replied in a voice similar to a barking dog: "It is the U-san people who have promised us that we will be protected from the slavery of Lamia, and that they will have a small island overseas for us to live in. As the King of the Blue-footed Dragon and Serpent said before his death, it seems that the Usang were adept at using this "Promised Land" to lure other races into temporary slavery.

Sneijder manipulated the mechanical body to glance at Quest, and the young blue dragon waved his hand to tear off the barrier blocking the sound: "Target Nome City, follow the military mage to cast a spell to counter the storm, and prepare to attack the whole army!"

At this time, the human lion who had woken up from a state of vertigo saw a mechanical monster with a sonorous sound every step he took, and was slowly walking towards him holding a jackal that seemed to have lost its vitality.
