534 The Battle of Alder (4)
Fortunately, what worried Arnold did not happen. There was a group of people who arrived at the scene before him and took control of the situation, and this group of people was the [Shield Guard] that Alder had carefully cultivated in recent years. There were about seven or eight [shield guards] at the scene, carrying a dark gray giant shield, and surrounded the injured fanged dragon.
When Arnold arrived, he saw the fanged dragon lunging towards one of the Shield Guards. The [Shield Guard] didn't change his face, and Arnold even heard him whisper "Good time". Then there was a muffled sound, and the [Shield Guard] withstood the attack of the Sharptooth Dragon, and the Sharptooth Dragon pounced but only left a shallow scratch on the shield.
Arnold breathed a sigh of relief.
As the fanged dragon's attack failed, the rest of the shield guards surrounded it. The hunter with the spear hid behind the shield guard and leaped out as he approached, and the fanged dragon didn't have time to react, and the part that was not covered by the dragon scales was instantly pierced by the spear. It frantically lunged at one of the hunters, and the other [Shield Guard] stood in front of the hunter, so the fanged dragon's attack was nullified again, and the hunter's attack resumed.
After going back and forth like this three or five times, the scarred fanged dragon finally couldn't hold it anymore, and fell to the ground with a wail, and its golden pupils finally slowly extinguished under the gaze of countless people. The dragon's blood spread in all directions, and the heat brought by the dragon's blood could be felt from a few meters away, and the white mist floated on the dragon's blood.
The scene was silent for about a minute, and finally there was a huge cheer, much louder than the roar of the fanged dragon, and people hugged each other in twos and threes to celebrate the victory that Arnold saw as "insignificant".
Arnold let out a long breath, fortunately there was no accident, if these three fanged dragons could bring a lot of casualties to Alder, then he really didn't have the face to face the city lords of the past.
"Well done, brother. ”
As soon as Arnold turned his head, he saw Xiu standing behind him with a smile on his face.
"It's just a small win. Arnold pretended to be relaxed, "We still have a lot of more powerful dragons to face, and we can't be complacent. ”
"I'm sure you won't be complacent, and while the fangs aren't a powerful dragon, it's still a very meaningful thing for these refugees. Xiu turned his head to look at the people who were hugging each other, and said softly, "The dragons have destroyed their homeland, and it seems to them that it is an invincible group of enemies, and it is your [Shield Guard] who tells them that these enemies can be killed. We should be glad that a fanged dragon has fallen into the Refugee Pile, and that your Shield Keeper and Hunter kills are obviously much more persuasive on the ground than in the sky. ”
Arnold nodded, agreeing with his sister. Indeed, if the three fanged dragons were shot in the sky by the crossbows of the city, it would be a bad thing, but it would make these people think that humans can only fight against dragons with the help of powerful weapons. However, if the fanged dragon is killed on the ground, the people will feel that the dragon is not as powerful as imagined, and it is also an enemy that humans can kill with their hands.
Such a scene is clearly more convincing than any words.
"You're right. Arnold coughed twice, "But no matter what, you should take care of your own safety." ”
"Got it, brother. Xiu pursed his lips and smiled, "I won't be so stupid, I'm not your [Shield Guard], I will see dragons will-"
Before Xiu could finish his sentence, the sky suddenly darkened, and a huge dark cloud drifted towards Alder, obscuring the sun and sky. The cheering people also stopped their movements one by one, raised their heads and looked at the sky suspiciously, this dark cloud was really unusual.
Arnold felt a faint sense of unease in his heart, and he believed that he must be the only one who felt this way. He turned his head to look at Xiu and found that his sister's pretty face was full of solemnity. Almost everyone could smell the oppressive smell in the clouds.
Lily subconsciously hugged Xiluo, as well as the sister who lost her brother, and was also clutching the corner of Xiluo's clothes at the moment. Xiluo was also a little overwhelmed, if it weren't for the fact that there were two women next to him, one big and one small, what he wanted to do more was to turn around and leave and find a relatively safe place. He had a hunch that something terrible was about to happen soon.
His hunch was confirmed in a matter of seconds. The inky cloud first flashed an arc of lightning, and the whole of Alder was as bright as day at this moment, and the roaring thunder only sounded after the electric light dissipated. Then people saw that in the center of the dark cloud, two sharp claws slowly pushed away the dark cloud, and the dragon's head poked out of the dark cloud, and the red golden pupils overlooked the earth.
Everyone who touched those pupils had an urge to kneel. That powerful oppressive force evokes fear in people's hearts, and spreads to every corner of the body with the bottom of their hearts. Arnold was no exception, but as the lord of Alder, the city of alchemy, he couldn't bow his head no matter what. So he watched as the giant dragon came out of the dark clouds little by little, the ancient, solemn black-gold scale armor reflected the silver glow of lightning, and the unfolded dragon wings were dozens of meters long!
At this moment, its identity is about to be revealed - the king of thunder and lightning, Na Ember. The last of the five dragon kings, with its birth, countless flying dragons also poked their heads out of the dark clouds, and for a while, hundreds of golden pupils looked at Alder.
This is the dragon, the real counterattack.
The dragon's huge sense of oppression piled up, and even Arnold almost failed to hold his heart and kneel down to this ancient and powerful race. But even if he didn't kneel, what could he do? Under the gaze of these hundreds of golden pupils, no one could raise the idea of resisting.
But he had to resist, he turned his head and yelled at the guards beside him: "Pass my order, and the crossbow team guarding the city will immediately equip the source of the dragon slayer!"
The guards were awakened by Arnold's roar, and he noticed that Arnold had a lion in his eyes. So he nodded and turned to leave. After giving the first order, Arnold immediately gave the second order, and he shouted to the [Shield Guard] troops beside him: "Take the dragon's blood potion and resist the coercion of the dragon clan!"
By the time he gave the order, the Dragon King Na Ember had already left the dark clouds and fell into the sky above the City Lord's Mansion in an instant. Before the guards could react, Ember instantly slapped off the roof of Arnold's office. All the guards stared at it, and hundreds of Silver Crossbows were aimed at Na Ash's head.
But it was as if she hadn't seen it, or she didn't care at all. It reached out its dragon claw and snatched a black skeleton from Arnold's desk. Arnold knew what it was, it was the skull of Naga, the Lord of Fire, and he knew that the skull was not complete, and that the alchemist had taken a portion of it three years ago as a reward for the best hunter of the year, now the Lord of Thorns.
Naga's skull was reflected in Nagya's golden pupils, and it was silent for about a minute, before a low dragon groan erupted from its throat. This dragon chant is not a roar, it does not put pressure on anyone, but anyone can feel the sadness contained in it.
Three years ago, the younger brother was killed, and three years later, the elder brother came to take revenge.
