"Bah!" rang out, it was a violent explosion when the dragon flame smashed on the outermost mana cloth of the airship balloon, and the fierce collision between the fire and water magic energy produced a strong magic shock wave, and the entire airship trembled because of it.

Because of these weaknesses of the airship, the kings and lords were of course hesitant to pay a lot of money. And in order to be able to sell this high-tech and high-value weapon to the human kings to earn more gold, the dwarves have to find ways to make up for these shortcomings.

For the protection of balloons, the dwarves invented a kind of magic cloth, which is simply a cloth woven from the fibers of wormwood, which is naturally very resistant to magic, and then soaked it in magic water, making it a magic cloth containing water-based magic energy. As we all know, fire attacks against balloons are of course the most effective and easiest way, and the outer layer of balloons made of this mugwort water magic cloth can effectively resist various forms of fire attacks.

But it's a pity that the intensity of the dragon flame is incomparable to ordinary flame or fire-based magic, and where the dragon flame hits, even the mugma cloth containing water energy magic is helpless to burn.

Then there was an even louder "boom!", and the whole airship shook violently. All kinds of small things splashed everywhere, and the two unprepared crew members were even directly shocked and flew out. Linya was almost bounced off by the concussive deck, but Suzanne was quick to hold her.

It was supposed to be the dragon's massive body crashing into the balloon.

The dwarves still put a lot of thought into the design of the airship. The outer hull of the airship is made of ironwood, which is not heavy, but extremely hard, not inferior to the finely refined steel, hence the name. However, it is said that this tree lives in extremely cold regions and takes hundreds of years to reach fruit. Therefore, it is extremely rare and rare. Panels made of this wood, after being soaked in magic water for a long time, become a hard, fireproof outer armor material.

Unfortunately, this high-hardness wood cannot be used for balloons. So the dwarves used a double layer of cloth protection on the balloons. Underneath the mugwort layer, there is also a layer of red cotton cloth. Compared to the hardness of ironwood, red cotton cloth is lighter, and it is extremely flexible, making it extremely difficult to cut. Such a layer of red cloth can effectively withstand the slashing attack of guns, swords, arrows and other weapons, and is a very effective physical attack defense layer. Inside the red cotton silk cloth layer is the soft leather airbag layer that really stores hot air.

While these defenses are very effective against ordinary attacks, it's a shame. The opponent in front of him is a dragon, the most powerful species in the world. The huge impact of the fire dragon as it rushed down knocked the balloon into a large dent, and the red cotton cloth barely withstood the test. However, the dragon soon flapped its wings and flew again, stretching out the sharp claws on its thick hind legs and piercing into the balloon. Pulling hard, I heard the sound of the fabric cracking with a "...... bang".

These two layers of defense. It was easily destroyed by the fire dragon. Right now. It can already face the innermost airbag directly.

"This is bad! Deflat, drop at full speed!" said Captain Rodkin in a hurry. Everyone was also panicked and didn't know what to do. With the current altitude of the airship, if the airbag is burned through by the fire dragon, the airship will definitely be destroyed if it falls.

Although no one said anything, many people were quietly looking at Linya with their eyes.

Moita, Gandra and the others hurriedly went to replenish the mana on the linen layer of the balloon. This should slow down the spread of Dragon Blaze. But it doesn't really make much sense to do this, you can't win by just defending and not counterattacking.

Linya's mind is in a mess right now. The sound of fighting, screams, explosions came from afar. There were all kinds of shouts one after another, and everywhere there were flames that soared into the sky, and countless figures ran around in the firelight, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the smell of blood seemed to fill the air.

I had only seen such a scene on TV in my memory before, but now when I am immersed in it, I feel so thrilling, cruel and tragic.

The heart in my chest seemed to be about to pop out.

And the dragon clan, it's really powerful beyond imagination!

Linya knew what the crew meant by looking at her. If the airship were to fall now, the people on board would have suffered heavy casualties. None of the ship's weapons could beat the dragon, and the magicians were helpless. The only thing that could deal with that dragon now was himself, his wings and his ice crystal bow. Yes, the wings allow themselves to fly, and the Ice Crystal Bow should be able to attack this fire dragon. But......

But I want to face such a terrible fire dragon alone......

Oh my God, I'm a princess, alas, not a dragon slayer!

How can you get a girl to do that kind of thing......

His legs seemed to be shaking a little.

If the balloon is burned by the fire dragon, the life and death of the ship's people will be unpredictable. Maybe you don't have to worry about having wings, but what about Suzanne and Amia? They don't have wings!

Even if the emergency landing is successful, then this airship will become a sea vessel, and it is naturally impossible to talk about a tactical plan to protect air supremacy or something. Not to mention the strategic plan to encircle and annihilate the pirates further afield, it will definitely fail.

It has to be stopped!

While still hesitating and fearing, a voice suddenly sounded in my head.

You are Xiao Yuan, you are a man, what are you afraid of? It's just a dragon, you can defeat it! Are you sure you are the timid princess? Take out your courage and make your choice!

Linya suddenly felt an incomparably incomparably more courageous surge from the bottom of her heart. Yes, I'm not that timid little girl, I'm an adult man!

Linya suddenly stepped out from behind Susanna, summoned her wings as fast as she could, and stretched out. Suzanne was surprised, "Your Royal Highness, what are you going to do?"

"Now only I can deal with this abominable fire dragon. I must stop it!" Linya said firmly. "Erinka!"

At Linya's call, the little phoenix quickly flew out, turned into a flame and burned, enveloping Linya in it. Soon, the flame turned into bright red soft armor and clung to Linya's body.

"But that's too dangerous! The dragon is too powerful. You're going to get hurt when you go out!" Namia snapped.

"No, I once said that with great power comes great responsibility! So, I had to go. Don't worry, Erinka will protect me! you just need to be ready to answer me. With that, Linya broke free of Namia's hands and ran forward. He stepped on the wooden box, jumped up, and landed on the side of the ship. Then he bent his knees together and jumped forward with all his might.

"Princess, don't ...... Be careful!" Suzanne was stunned for a moment to stop it, but it was too late.

This is obviously a little princess who has watched her grow up since she was a child, but she is becoming more and more incomprehensible. Earlier, he was so frightened by the fire dragon that he hid behind him. Nervously shivering, but before the blink of an eye. He became extremely brave and decisive again. I'm going to challenge it alone!

Is it really because you've grown up?

Suzanne sighed. suddenly remembered her resolute look at the moment before leaving, so beautiful and charming. How do you describe that, heroic? Yes, that's the word.

Maybe...... She really will be the best queen in the future!

On the other side of the sky battlefield, the situation of Bender and the others was obviously getting worse and worse. If it continues like this, it will be surrounded and divided. The consequences are unimaginable. In desperation, Bender was finally forced to make the decision to retreat and break through.

The dragon eagle knights hurriedly dropped the magic bomb, and they didn't care about the accuracy of the hit rate. Then, the five dragon eagles turned around one after another. Began to cover each other and retreated. The pirates' flying beast warriors obviously wouldn't let them go so easily, and chased after them.

Linya jumped off the airship, spread her wings, and took to the air. When he stretched out his arms, a fresh evening breeze blew in front of him, and a burst of coldness around his body blew away the hot breath of his whole body, and his brain calmed down a lot.

Summons an ice crystal bow that infuses the Azure Heart with water magic, and summons an ice arrow that mounts the bowstring and flails its wings upward.

The dragon was hiding on top of the balloon, its head tilted, its mouth gathering blazing flames again, and was preparing to spray into the balloon below.

"Stop!" Linya snorted and raised the ice crystal bow in her hand.

The dragon knight on the back of the fire dragon turned his head to look at Linya, it was actually a girl in red with wings? The dragon knight was stunned for a moment, but quickly turned his head, leaving only a contemptuous smile. The flames in the dragon's mouth fell again, landing on the balloon and exploding, burning an even larger piece of fire.

"Bastard, die!" Linya shouted angrily and shot the ice crystal arrow.

The dragon knight remained indifferent, just let the fire dragon raise his left leg, and tried to grab the ice arrow!

It's so arrogant. However, his ignorance soon took its toll, this ice arrow only looked brighter and more crystalline than ordinary ice arrows on the outside, but the level of water magic in it far exceeded expectations, whether it was magic strength or magic accuracy, it was not on the same level as imagined.

"Smack!" The ice arrow shot straight into the dragon's thigh and exploded, blasting a bowl-sized hole in the dragon's left thigh, and dark red blood gushed out.

"Whoa—oh—" The dragon screamed in pain, and the high-pitched dragon moan was as loud as thunder, making the eardrums whine in pain.

The dragon knight was taken aback, and hurriedly harnessed the fire dragon to fly upward.

In air combat, altitude is always the greatest advantage.

When Linya summoned a second ice arrow and poured magic power into the ice crystal bow to shoot it, a small mouthful of dragon flame from the fire dragon also erupted at the same time. It seems that the continuous eruptions have made such a powerful creature a little lacking in follow-up magic.

But the dragon knight forgot one thing, the girl with wings in front of him was not the clumsy airship, nor the immovable stone thrower on the tower below. Seeing the dragon flame spewing out, Linya hurriedly flapped her wings and flew away early, and by the time the dragon flame arrived, Linya had already flown out a lot.

Despite Erinka's personal protection, the Flame Armor is theoretically capable of absorbing and resisting any form of fire-based magical energy. But Erinka was still too small, and in the face of such a powerful and terrifying enemy as the fire dragon, Linya had no intention of going for it, and it would be a big loss if it was burned to charcoal.

The second ice crystal arrow flew out as well.

After spewing out the dragon flame, the dragon knight also hurriedly urged the fire dragon to dodge this shiny ice arrow. Seeing the power of that weapon, he didn't dare to hold it up anymore. However, he miscalculated again, because he didn't expect that this ice arrow actually turned around in the air without slowing down, still tracking the fire dragon and flying.

The dragon knight panicked.

Compared to the take-off boat, the airship is, of course, clumsy. But compared to this small magic ice arrow, the mobility of the huge fire dragon is also clumsy. This is especially true of the fire dragon that has not yet accelerated, and the ice crystal arrow that turned to chase it hit the fire dragon again without any suspense, this time hitting its left wing, the ice arrow directly penetrated its flesh wing, and the sharp ice magic explosion actually blew off a large part of the fire dragon's flesh wing.

The fire dragon roared in pain again, and the terrible dragon roar resounded through the sky, and even many people on the ground and the sea couldn't help but look up to see what was going on.

Linya couldn't help but feel a little proud, the power of this artifact was really extraordinary, and even the most powerful dragons could easily be injured. It was the first time to use it in such a formal actual battle, but it was the first time to face such a powerful enemy, and the effect was unexpectedly good.

The dragon knight's shock quickly turned into boundless rage. The winged girl in front of her has such powerful magic! But she is a proud dragon knight and the most powerful dragon clan! If she is defeated by such a young and inconspicuous little girl, what face will she have to raise her head in front of others in the future?

Seeing that the girl began to summon magic again, this was a short opportunity! The enraged dragon knight and fire dragon didn't have time to think about it, and roared straight over.

Hehe, looking for death! Linya was secretly happy in her heart, and hurriedly waved her wings to descend to the height.

The fire dragon is not only a magical creature with blazing dragon flames, but also has extremely powerful physical attack and defense capabilities, dragon scales as hard and smooth as steel, thick and sharp claws, and steel teeth as sharp as knives, sure to tear the mage's weak body apart easily!

The fire dragon sped up, but the dragon knight seemed to have forgotten something very important. Leaving the balloon's shield meant that it was back in range of the ship's heavy crossbows and mages.

And at such a close distance, many strong crossbows and water-based light magic flew together, and the dragon knight realized that he had made a big mistake, calmed down, and the idea of self-preservation overcame the impulsive thought, and quickly turned around and fled.

It's just that the distance is too close, almost close at hand. There was no way to dodge, and various attacks hit the huge body of the fire dragon one after another, but this was still not fatal for the strong dragon clan, just a few more wounds large and small. (To be continued......)
