Elizabeth's side.

After the "barrier" left by the dragon disappeared, the enemy again tried to attack. I have to say that the emperor's standing army is indeed a strong army trained in the Southwest War, so it can still maintain morale.

In the melee, Elizabeth finished the last magic missile and watched as the missile hit a swordsman. One of the missiles hit the swordsman's face, entering through the gap in the mask.

The swordsman exclaimed, pushing the mask open, only to roll out of his socket with one eyeball—a missile that literally exploded his eye like a punch.

The next moment, the catman's crossbow arrow hit the swordsman's wide open door and stuck it in his nose, breaking the soft backbone of the bridge of his nose and going straight into his brain.

The swordsman fell backwards.

The cat man shouted to Elizabeth, "Shoot well, Your Highness!" ”

Elizabeth hesitated for a moment and fired the last scorching ray, targeting a captain with a feather stuck in his helmet. The ray accurately hit the captain's arm, directly causing the long sword he raised to freeze in mid-air, presumably because his shoulder was carbonized and incapacitated.

The militia confronting the captain immediately stabbed his spears under the captain's helmet.

The armor had neck guards, but the force of the spear's stab pushed the captain backwards.

Another militiaman with a blacksmith's hammer immediately stepped forward and clattered twice!

Elizabeth didn't see exactly how the militiamen fought, only that the feathers of the captain's helmet had disappeared from her view.

After the spell, Elizabeth crouched down, picked up the crossbow arrow at her feet, and laboriously wound the crossbow arrow.

At this moment, the light horn sounded.

Elizabeth followed the prestige and saw a troop of cavalry rushing into battle.

The leading knight raised his sword, the blade of which shone brightly as the sacred weapon covenant shone brightly.

Paladin!

The sudden slaughter of the cavalry became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the morale of the Styrians collapsed. They scrambled to the nearby alleys, trying to avoid the cavalry chasing and trampling.

Elizabeth fired a crossbow at the retreating enemy, then threw it at her feet, gasping for air.

Mishasara, who made a few jumps, came to her side and carefully examined her body: "It's good, no injuries." Good news for you, Your Highness, that you have survived the fierce battle. ”

Elizabeth smiled palely, "Thank you." I've finished all my spells, and I'm a little tired right now. If there is a fight again, I will only be able to shoot crossbow arrows. ”

The cat man was just about to reply when a paladin on a tall horse came.

Wayne Langdon pushed off the mask of his helmet and looked at his sister with concern: "Are you okay?" Bruce sent me to exterminate the Wanderers' Guild, and when I arrived, I found a large number of Steyr's standing army coming out of the Wanderers' Guild.

"Then I remembered that you were still in Gallows Square, and hurried over. It turned out that you were gone. ”

Elizabeth stood up and looked at her brother: "I was going to withdraw to the castle, but seeing the tragic situation on the road, I decided to fulfill my noble duty and protect my people!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the children, women and old people who were protected around them all said in unison: "Her Royal Highness the princess has protected us!" ”

"I will always be loyal to Your Highness!"

Wayne smiled: "You see, your efforts are recognized by the people. I'm so proud of you. ”

At this time, Elizabeth suddenly remembered: "By the way, there was a dragon that helped us just now, and without that dragon we would definitely die." Where did the dragon come from? ”

"It's the mage brother you like." Bruce's voice came from the other side.

Elizabeth turned her head and saw Bruce leading a group of soldiers into the square.

Bruce: "The priest heals the wounded now!" The soldiers continue to track down the enemy who has fled into the alley! This is the neighborhood where you grew up, and the terrain is more familiar than theirs, so don't let a Steyr man go! ”

The soldiers responded loudly, morale high.

After sending the soldiers, Bruce led a few of his followers and rode to the barricade where Elizabeth was. In addition to Cassander, his entourage included the Archmage and mage apprentices of the Langdon family.

Elizabeth: "He's just a three-ring mage, how can he become a dragon?" I don't think that's a spell that a three-ring mage can cast. ”

Archmage of the Langdon House said, "Actually, the dragon form is a seven-ring spell. It is said that there is also a spell called a second-class dragon form, which can be cast by the six rings. ”

Bruce: "You're also a seven-ring mage, why don't you see you turn into a dragon?" ”

The archmage looked embarrassed: "The dragon form, even if it is the basic dragon form of the seven rings, is a very rare magic, I have been collecting scrolls or spell books with this magic for so many years, but I have found nothing." Not to mention the high-level dragon form of the eight rings and the ultimate dragon form of the nine rings.

"As for the second-class dragon form of the Six Rings, it is a legendary spell, and no one has ever seen it."

Bruce: "Wait a minute, Brother Mage has a book of infinity. He should have the dragon-like magic of the Seven Rings, and if he shows it to you, can you turn into a dragon? ”

The archmage shook his head: "All transfiguration magic requires the caster to be very familiar with the creature to be transformed. Even if the math master had allowed me to copy the pages from his book, I wouldn't have mastered it so quickly. I'll have to find another book, maybe a lot of books, to learn about the ecology of dragons, the structure of dragon bodies. （*）”

At this moment, a herald rode into the square on a fast horse: "Lord Duke! The army of the valley leader on the other side of the harbor has collapsed! Baron Willy, who is in command on the spot, reports that the dragon you sent is wounded, and the priests don't know if they can treat it! ”

Elizabeth was shocked: "He's hurt?" I'll go! ”

Bruce pressed his sister, "Don't get excited, you look like you've run out of magic and you're very tired." It's so chaotic now, you run around and you risk adding to the chaos. Brother, do you still have holy healing? ”

Wayne responded to the lord's attitude: "There is one more, my lord." ”

"Take the troops over and have a look, and by the way, drive all the valley people back to their broken ships."

Wayne clenched his right fist and slapped his left chest, turning his horse's head and galloping away, his soldiers following closely behind.

Bruce looked at Elizabeth, "You've done a great job, we'll take care of the rest tonight." ”

**

The dragon that the king had turned into lay on the ground, gasping for air.

The River Valley Army had been defeated, and now he was surrounded by the mercenaries of the Port Chamber of Commerce in the distance.

The priest hired by the Chamber of Commerce argued, "I don't want to go near a badly injured dragon." ”

"yes, our healing magic may be a drop in the bucket for him."

"Oh my God, it smells so weird! Does the dragon stink so much? ”

Suddenly, a light shone from the king's body: the time for the ultimate dragon-like magic had come.

He reverted to the mage in a burst of light, but most of the injuries he received in his dragon form were inherited by the mage. His left shoulder was almost completely disintegrated, leaving only the bones bare.

Fortunately, he was in dragon form when he was dissociated, and it is estimated that the whole person turned into powder and disappeared when the humanoid was eaten.

"Hey, it's a person!" The mercenaries exclaimed.

Immediately, someone noticed the dragon's head scepter in the king's hand. Because the king had passed out, the scepter no longer glowed, but in the light of the surrounding torches, it was revealed that the head of the scepter was a dragon head carved from a transparent, crystal-like thing.

"This thing looks valuable!" A daring mercenary, unable to contain his greed, walked over and picked up the scepter, "Now it's mine!" ”

The next moment, he was catapulted by a tremendous force, crossed the wall of people surrounding the king, and hit his head against the big stone on the side of the road, and his neck was broken instantly.

The scepter flew back to the fallen mage on its own, landing on the ground and not moving.

Seeing this, everyone took a step back in horror.

At this moment, a ham fell from the sky! It landed next to the fallen mage with a snap, and smashed up a cloud of smoke.

The ham made the crowd take another step back.

The werewolf girl landed lightly next to the ham, and as soon as she raised her hand, several giant wolves responded and surrounded him with their backs to the mage. This is one of the druid's special abilities, which can temporarily turn the magic prepared today into a summoned animal companion.

The werewolf girl then checks the mage's injuries and then performs the rejuvenation technique.

The mage's injuries immediately stabilized, and the wounds stopped bleeding. The girl turned to the priest of the chamber of commerce and shouted, "You are a priest!" Get the hell out of here! The most intense healing techniques are all done to him! There is also the restoration technique, his hand can't be reborn, so I'll bite off your hand and connect it for him! ”

The girl paused, remembered something again, and shouted, "Remove the Sickness Scroll, bring the Removal Sickness Scroll!" ”

The amount of knowledge required to acquire spells in this book has increased significantly. It's also a balance. In the world setting of this book, the number of magic casters is significantly higher than that of arcane arts, because if the magic caster is religious enough, he will be granted the next ring of magic by various gods or nature. Arcane casters, on the other hand, either need to have a bloodline and become a warlock, or they need to have a lot of knowledge and spend a lot of time studying them.

In the world of this book, it is very difficult to acquire a new arcane, especially the high-ring arcane. Of course, mages will also share spells in guilds, such as the Arcane Federation, which will appear later. But mages who don't join this organization can only rely on their own teachers, or take risks on their own to acquire new knowledge and magic.

In addition, there is Xiaobai's combat power, I originally intended to learn "Dungeons & Dragons Glory of Thieves" to let the druid change freely, but I didn't expect that after I let go of my imagination, she was a little too strong. It just so happened that someone in the chapter mentioned that the druids had a mod for morphing, so I looked at it and decided to go with it. In the future, Xiaobai will be a deformed and specialized druid, and she has lost her high-ring spell-casting ability.

Originally, I wanted to let her play the Nine-Ring Druid Magic in the future. Forget it, dogs are to be castrated, this is the fate of dogs.
