054 Midnight
The attack from the direction of the port was launched by the army of the Valley Lord.
At first, in the face of the garrison of the port area jointly hired by the major chambers of commerce in the port area and the customs collection force of the Langdon Lord, the troops of the Valley Leader gained a huge advantage.
Originally, the port area had a low wall made of wood and stone facing the river, in order to prevent people coming from the water.
Before the low wall could be used, it was captured by the troops of the Valley Lord, which in turn became a barrier to the enemy's beachhead.
The forces of the Valley Lords were about to advance into the interior of the port area, sacking the warehouses of the major chambers of commerce and the vaults of banks, but they were stopped by the regular troops of Langdon who arrived in a hurry.
The Duke sent a total of 300 of his own regular troops, plus 700 troops of the barons, to keep the 3,000 leading troops of the valley out of the second line of defense in the port area.
Now the two sides are tugging near the low wall, and neither can move forward.
That's when the variables happened.
First, a dragon's roar came from the direction of the inner city.
The inner city was located on a cliff "behind" the port area, and the ballistas on the walls were constantly firing at enemy ships on the river. When the dragon spreads its wings, it can be seen from Minato.
No one knew what it meant for the dragon to appear out of nowhereβthey couldn't hear Bruce after all, and neither side even knew which side of the dragon was. As a result, the two sides temporarily stopped fighting and faced off in a clear and clear confrontation.
Then the dragon rushed down.
Dragon's breath "brushed" the army along the river valley, yes, brush, only this word can accurately describe the look and feel of the garrison in the port area.
The dragon's breath brushed over, regardless of the knights, subordinates, or big-headed soldiers, all of them fell to the ground in smoke.
Those who have only splashed a small amount of dragon breath will also scream in pain.
A large gap immediately appeared in the front of the River Valley Army.
The baron, who was facing the gap, realized that the opportunity for meritorious service had arrived, just as the enemy's morale had just been shaken by the dragon's attack. He stood on a rock and shouted, "Forward! β
Then he led his troops and rushed up.
When the light of the torches could see the terrible situation where the dragon had spewed through, everyone, including the baron, stopped. The entire ground was smoking, and the strong acid had been depleted in many places, but in some potholes, the magical acid left behind by the dragon was bubbling.
The baron muttered, "Lancelot is on top!" β
At this moment, a bald eagle flapped its wings and flew over the crowd with difficulty, and the sea eagle was still clutching a large piece of ham in its claws.
Everyone looked at this intruder who was out of place on the battlefield with confusion.
Just then, someone on the enemy's side shouted in the lingua franca of the valley accent: "The dragon has turned back!" β
Everyone looked in the direction of the dragon, and sure enough, they saw the dragon, which had become only the size of a thumb, turn around in the air, and obviously came this way again.
The baron shouted: "Stand back! Get out of the enemy's line! β
The commander of the other side also shouted: "Don't be afraid, the acid is gone, rush over and fight together!" β
As soon as the words fell, the sound of chanting a mantra came from the side of the river valley army's banner.
When the bald eagle in the sky heard this sound, it suddenly turned around and went towards the sound.
The next moment, a flash of green lightning struck the left flank of the dragon (*). The moment it hit, the dragon scales covering the left wing disintegrated into powder, followed by the skin and muscles underneath, and soon the bones were exposed, and the wing membranes between the bones were all turned into powder.
The left flank immediately lost its ability to provide lift, causing the dragon's dive course to deflect to the left and eventually crash to the ground.
The screams of the giant beasts were heard clearly throughout the port area.
The voice of the River Valley Leader came: "The giant beast has been shot down by the mage!" Come on! β
Most of the low-ring spellcasters in the River Valley Army have used up their spells today in the process of fighting with the casters hired by the Chamber of Commerce. Unexpectedly, they also had a high-ring spellcaster with the army, and they never made a move!
I guess he's on guard against the Archmage of Langdon.
**
William, the Grand General of the River Valley, put down the amplification props personally granted by the Lord, turned his head and said to Morgan, the Grand Mage of the River Valley Lord, "Thanks to you, otherwise that dragon would have wiped out us completely." β
Morgan: "Hmph, you have to be careful, since the dragon didn't turn into dust and shatter completely, it means that the dissociation technique only seriously injured him, and an angry dragon is terrifying." However, why didn't the intelligence on His Majesty's side mention the contract reached between Langdon and the Dragons?
"It's still a black dragon, and the black dragon generally lives in swamps, and it is more common in the countries of the river basin with a dense river network."
As he spoke, Morgan suddenly saw something strange: a bald eagle with a huge ham flying towards him.
Morgan: "What the hell? β
Because what he saw was too beyond common sense, even the well-informed archmage was stunned and missed the opportunity to cast the spell!
The bald eagle turned into a petite werewolf girl in the air, and she grabbed the root of the ham as she fell, and gave it to the archmage!
However, as an archmage who can perform dissociation, he must have a trigger spell on him. So the moment the ham touched the archmage, his skin became as hard as a stone!
The hard ham hit the stone skin, and it was bent entirely.
The reacting archmage began to cast spells, but the druid was faster, and in the blink of an eye, she turned into a giant bear and slapped the mage on the arm.
The skin of the stone shattered like a chocolate chunk, and the remaining impact broke the archmage's bones directly.
The Archmage howled.
The giant bear was still unleashing the Eight Punches, smashing the stone skin on the mage's body inch by inch.
The reacting River Valley General drew his sword and rushed towards the giant bear.
The next moment the druid turned into a squirrel, nimbly disappearing from the warrior's field of vision.
The Archmage's apprentice shouted, "There! β
The next moment, the magic flew out of his hand, and three missiles took the squirrel that was running wildly on the flagpole of the river valley!
The squirrel immediately grew larger, but the clock was of the essence, and she only had time to transform into a creature the size of a raccoon when she was hit by a magic missile.
The raccoon fell to the ground, and the magic missile apparently injured one of her paws - if it weren't for her size, the squirrel would have only half a life left after eating these three missiles.
The raccoon transforms into a giant wolf and pounces on the apprentice who wields a magic missile.
The apprentice didn't have the same triggering skills as his teacher, and although he was in a hurry to cast some spells, the wolf came too quickly and arrived in front of him all at once.
In a panic, the gel that the mage was holding in his hand was thrown away. The gel wrapped around the eyelashes of some kind of creature, apparently the casting material for invisibility.
Without materials, he couldn't cast spells, and the apprentice had to face the wolf. The next moment, the wolf's claws slashed his throat.
The apprentice clutched his bleeding neck and fell.
The wolf turned into a sparrow and rushed into the sky.
"Shoot the arrows!" The general roared!
However, it is easier said than done to shoot a sparrow in the dark.
William rushed to the archmage, only to find that he had half a life left.
"Pastor! Pastor come on! β
As he shouted this, William looked down at the ham on the ground. He kicked the ham and found that it looked like a real ham.
What the heck?
An armored priest hurried over, crouched down to check the status of the archmage, and immediately began to heal. After casting multiple healing gods in a row, the priest looked at the archmage's state suspiciously: "Strange...... The broken bones and damaged muscles should have recovered, why is the breath of an adult still so weak? It's like having some kind of disease. β
William: "Didn't you have a removal disease?" β
"Today is a short-term decisive battle, so the magic I prepared is all various protection and buff magic spells, and I am not prepared to remove the disease. Who would be ready to remove the disease in such a situation? β
William: "Is there any medicine?" β
Pastor: "Take it from the boat." β
"Then go quickly!"
As soon as the words fell, a herald rushed over and reported: "The left army reports that the mad dragon has killed and injured many of us, and the enemy has also taken advantage of the situation to attack, and we can't resist it!" β
William: "Fuck! Adjust the formation, reserve team ......"
At that moment, a sparrow appeared behind him, and the sparrow turned into a giant bear in the air and threw him to the ground. Then the bear slapped him on the helmet, slapping his head off along with the helmet.
The giant bear turned into a bald eagle, picked up the ham on the ground, and flew up to the amazed gaze of everyone.
The lieutenant general woke up like a dream and shouted: "Shoot the arrows!" β
Seven or eight archers shot together, but it was still difficult to shoot a moving flying target in such darkness, and the few feathered arrows that hit were also stuck in the ham.
