Chapter 342: Capturing the Wyvern

Having killed Piratul, Sylph handed over the loot left behind by Piratul.

Although the Dragon's Blood Mirror is useless against the Haralands, it can be exchanged for legendary items with the Jonathan family.

This battle was a brilliant victory, with less than thirty casualties in Haaland's territory, and ten times the number of dragon vein kobolds was wiped out, and tens of thousands of ordinary kobolds were killed incidentally.

Even the treasures of the dragon vein kobold tribe for many years have also fallen into the hands of the Haaland Lord.

In addition to the Dragon's Blood Treasure Mirror, the most precious thing is the kobold tribe's locker, which is a ninth-order magic item according to the level of magic items.

The locker has a total of eighty-two cubic meters of space, divided into three floors, and is filled with a large number of materials, not only precious magic ores, magic plants, but also dozens of strange porcelain bottles.

The porcelain bottle was filled with a special potion, which was identified by Richard and others as being a dragon's blood purification potion, which could only be reserved for the dragonborn.

In addition, in the locker, there is also a part of the kobold magic inheritance.

Kobolds have a special language, but the script they use is the official script of the Orc Empire. As an important force in the Dawn Plane, the Orc Empire's writing spreads very widely.

There are many slaves rescued from the Orc Empire in the Harland Territory, and these people have mastered the Chinese language and script of the Orc Empire. Through contact with these slaves who have lived in the Orc Empire for many years, the official language and script of the Orc Empire, Richard has become very proficient.

What is written in the official language of the Orc Empire can be read by Richard without the need for a translation.

Although the magic inherited by the kobolds is not very clever, it is also a supplement to the Harland Leader Mage Association, especially some spells in the dark realm, which make up for the shortcomings of the Harland Leader Magic Inheritance and enhance the magic heritage of the territory. Especially for mages who are interested in legends, it has the effect of broadening their horizons.

The locker is so large that the kobold uses less than a third of the space for his supplies.

The only drawback of this magic prop is that it is a little heavy, after detailed calculations, the magic locker is 1.6 meters high, one meter long, and about sixty centimeters wide, the material of the locker is similar to a special stone material, it is not only smooth to the touch but also a little cold, and the most important thing is that the weight of the locker is 3,300 kilograms.

With such heavy props, even ordinary carriages are difficult to pull, and it takes at least two sixth-order warriors to barely be able to move.

Especially in the jungle, there are no ready-made props, and it is even more difficult to move heavy magic lockers.

Even if the ordinary small forces capture this storage item, they can only discard it, because it will seriously affect the speed of the march, but it is not a problem to put it in the Harland Territory, because there are already many mid-level professionals in the Harland Territory. These men were all Hercules and could take turns marching with lockers.

After cleaning the cave, Richard carefully observed the nearby terrain and found that the cave was actually a natural fortress, which was very suitable for defending against foreign invasions.

The failure of the kobolds, in addition to negligence and big accidents, is actually inferior to others.

But the cave is about a hundred kilometers from Viscount Bolton, and about two hundred and thirty kilometers from Twin Star Castle, the closest supply stronghold to Harland.

If you want to occupy this place, it will be difficult to resupply along the way.

More than 200 kilometers deep into the mountains and jungles, there are no ready-made roads along the way, and the transportation of materials will become a very big problem, unless the power of the high-level of the territory is mobilized, and the bottles of starlight and legendary space bags are used to transport materials, otherwise even if they control this stronghold, they will eventually have to withdraw because of supply problems.

Richard had just finished cleaning the battlefield and was about to withdraw his troops, when he saw a group of bipedal wyverns flying in the sky from a distance.

Seeing this scene, although Richard expected it in his heart, he was still a little surprised, he never expected that the bipedal wyvern in this area would have such a scale, counting the juvenile bipedal wyvern, the number would exceed sixty.

The bipedal flying dragoons of the Divine Radiance Empire have a regular establishment of only one hundred and eighty people, plus the demonic beasts cultivated in the rear breeding base, the total number is about three hundred.

The bipedal wyvern under the command of this legendary black dragon is already equivalent to one-fifth of the level of the Divine Radiance Empire.

"Spread out quickly, don't get too close, and be careful of the dragon flame breath of the two-legged wyvern."

The backbone of the Haaland leader, who had experience in fighting with bipedal wyverns, saw this scene and immediately commanded the soldiers loudly.

The archers in the territory also quickly drew their bows and aimed in the air.

Seeing that the bipedal wyvern was about to launch a dive, hundreds of arrows slashed through the sky, and more than a dozen arrows followed the arc, as if they could automatically correct the trajectory and accurately hit the bipedal wyvern.

These dozen arrows all use high-level enchanted arrows, which can easily penetrate the wurm skin on the bipedal wyvern, and can instantly inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

Bipedal wyverns are big guys with rough skin and thick flesh, and even if they are hit by an enchanted arrow, as long as they are not heavy arrows on the head, they are not fatal.

Hitting the head of a Wyvern is a great test of the archer's ability, as the head of the Wyvern is very flexible, can move left and right to dodge arrows, and can spew breath to burn arrows.

Richard and the other five archers only joined forces to shoot a two-legged wyvern.

Several bipedal wyverns were hit by arrows and let out terrible screams. At the same time, the bipedal wyvern also swooped down, spewing out dragon flame breath from its mouth, which fell on the head of Haaland's army like an aerial bomb.

Seeing this terrible scene, Richard hurriedly released a high-level defensive force field and propped up a protective shield to protect the officers and soldiers around him.

At the same time, Sophia and Wendini, the two high-level mages, also released a high-level defensive force field at the same time, and the three defensive force fields were superimposed, blocking several dragon flame breaths and sheltering dozens of officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers who were far away from Richard and the others could only ask for more blessings at this moment, most of the officers and soldiers could only rely on the low-level force field shield to resist, if they were in the center of the spell of Long Yan's breath, there was a high probability that they would die.

Magicians have more means to deal with it, not only can they release their defensive force field to protect themselves, but they can also use spells such as light spirits, freedom of movement, and oil on the soles of their feet to speed up their movement speed, dodge the attack of Dragon Flame's breath, and their survivability on the battlefield far exceeds that of soldiers of the same level.

In Richard's sight, no mage was found to have lost his life.

Seeing that the bipedal wyvern launched a dive, the soldiers began to throw javelins and flying claws while dodging the dragon's breath, and the magicians who cooperated with the fighters also took action, and under the command of the officer, released the spider web technique to restrict the movement of the bipedal wyvern.

Although a round of dragon flame breath was like a bombardment, causing Haaland to lead the army to kill and wound forty or fifty people, it did not break the confidence of this elite army, and under the command of the grassroots officers, they still launched a counterattack in an orderly manner.

Richard stretched out his bow and arrows, aiming at the vital point of the two-legged wyvern, and began to unleash the spell Six Rings Magic Group Medical Technique to treat nearby soldiers who were burned by the dragon's breath.

For mages in the Dawn Plane, they don't need to recite spells aloud to cast spells, but some spells need to be matched with spellcasting materials. The magic net of this plane is not controlled by the gods, and the magician is not limited by the spell position when he releases spells, and the only thing that restricts the magician is his own magic power. As long as the mana is not depleted, mages can unleash the spells they have mastered as they please.

Richard's magic was very strong, and despite a battle with the kobold in the morning, he unleashed a lot of spells, and his magic power was only consumed by a third of the level.

The Crowd Medicine technique can heal twelve wounded soldiers at one time, which is equivalent to releasing a minor injury spell on twelve wounded soldiers. According to the data on the attribute panel, it can roughly increase the vitality by 30 points, which can save the lives of some wounded soldiers.

After Richard's release treatment, the medics in the army sprang into action, applying burn ointment and anti-infective agents to the wounded soldiers.

Through various experiments, Haaland has extracted an antimicrobial agent with outstanding effect from chemical dyes, which has been put into human trials in large quantities.

This new agent is very effective, the yield is not very large, and it can be used by infusion, intramuscular injection, oral pills and many other methods.

This time, the field hospital in the battle territory did not follow, and there were only medical soldiers with the army, who could not infuse fluids on the battlefield at all, so they could only give injections to the soldiers.

Because of the development of industry, especially the extensive use of steam engines, it has greatly promoted the level of Haaland's machinery industry, and a large number of mechanical lathes have been produced and invented to manufacture various industrial products.

In just a few years, Haaland has rapidly increased his productivity, producing goods that are a few points finer than before.

Today, needles are smaller and sharper, glass tubes look a little finer, and a large number of syringes are produced and distributed to medical soldiers.

Although the cost of these glass syringes is still very high and requires skilled craftsmen to grind them, the fact that they can produce this new product is enough to show that the industrial level of Haaland has begun to improve significantly.

According to Richard's estimates, Haaland's industry should have reached the level of Britain and France in the twenties and thirties of the nineteenth century.

Science combined with magical power has allowed the territory's medical power to develop by leaps and bounds, and every battle in Haaland's territory can save a large number of wounded soldiers.

A large proportion of these wounded soldiers were able to recover and return to the troops. With the recovery of wounded soldiers with combat experience, it can not only increase the morale of the troops, but also greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

Haaland led the army from weak to strong, and the army became more and more powerful, and excellent medical security is a very important reason.

The medics were very busy on the battlefield, and they were very responsive, constantly carrying the wounded soldiers back to the kobold cave, transforming the cave into an improvised field hospital.

Seeing this scene, Richard finally let go of his worries. Despite the distraction, Richard fired arrows with great precision, easily piercing the wyvern's skin and into the skull from under the ears of the wyvern.

In an instant, Richard seized the opportunity and shot a two-legged wyvern.

The bipedal wyvern swooped through, and after just one charge, more than a dozen of them landed. The total number of bipedal wyverns was only more than sixty, and a quarter of them were damaged in battle.

Of the dozen or so bipedal wyverns, six of them have been killed by the officers and soldiers led by Haaland, and the remaining nine have also been injured and fallen into the siege.

Wyverns are intelligent creatures after all, and despite their brutal and ferocious temperaments, they still retain the instinct of intelligent beings to fear death.

Seeing that the casualties were so staggering, the Wyvern already had plans to retreat.

But the members who fell into the siege of Haaland's leader could not afford to ignore it, so they had to dive again.

Seeing that another round of Dragon Flame breath was about to fall, and the casualties would inevitably increase, Richard suddenly felt a little unbearable in his heart.

Once again, the dragons swept across the ground, and the intact soldiers once again threw their claw javelins, spreading their nets to limit the movement of the wyverns.

Although the Dragonborn does not have as many spells as mages, they are very powerful and especially useful on the battlefield.

In the battle against the Dragonvein Kobolds, Haaland led the army to only about 30 soldiers killed and wounded, but in two rounds of fighting with the Wyvern, more than 80 people were killed and wounded.

The total number of elite soldiers led by Richard was only more than 400 people, and now there are more than 100 casualties, and the casualty rate is close to 30 percent. If it were an ordinary army, with such heavy casualties, it would have already lost its combat effectiveness and fell into the dilemma of collapse.

But the army led by Haaland is still in a bitter battle with the Wyvern.

In the second round of diving, the casualties of the bipedal wyvern were also not light, the four-headed bipedal wyvern was killed by the high-level human professionals, and the seven-headed bipedal wyvern was dragged down by the soldiers and could not rise into the air at all.

After two dives, the number of bipedal wyverns was almost halved, and the female bipedal wyvern in the lead immediately turned around and flew into the mountains.

Although the remaining bipedal wyverns were reluctant to give up their companions, they also did not dare to continue to dive, so they could only reluctantly follow the leader and return to the lair.

Sixteen bipedal wyverns fell to the ground, no match for Haaland's team, and soon four bipedal wyverns were killed and twelve bipedal wyverns were captured alive.

Seeing that some of the bipedal wyverns were still unruly, Richard now had no time to tame the bipedal wyvern, so he could only kill the bipedal wyvern with a burst of temper, leaving only the relatively tame four-headed bipedal wyvern.

Richard asked a brave medic to heal the wounds of the captured four-legged wyvern to stop the bleeding, while ordering Jennings to lead people to clean up the battlefield and count the wounded.

"Jennings, how many casualties did we have in this battle?"

After cleaning up the battlefield, Jennings replied in great detail: "Dear Duke, up to now we have lost thirty-seven officers and soldiers, and the total number of wounded is ninety-one, and some of them are seriously wounded, which should die in the next two or three days, and it is estimated that no more than eighty people can be saved. It is estimated that there will be forty or fifty of them who can return to the army. ”

Hearing such a large number of casualties, Richard said with a solemn face: "The casualties are more than 30 percent, and it is too risky to leave some soldiers to defend the wounded." I think we should rest here for a while, continue to draw some troops from the rear, and continue to attack after more than ten days. ”

After this battle, Haaland led the army to have a lot of wounded soldiers, and these wounded soldiers are difficult to transfer and keep up with the team, so they can only rest in the kobold cave for a short period of time.
