On the frontal battlefield, the knights looked at the Xiahui Dragon being shrouded by several high-level spells, and their faces did not show a relaxed expression, but secretly became nervous.

Judging from the previous contact, Xia Hui Dragon will not only not be injured by high-level spells, but will also benefit from it and refill his magic power.

It stands to reason that after obtaining this information, the crusade should not have allowed the mages to attack it, but the military headquarters did it anyway.

This shows that the military department has thought of a countermeasure against Xia Huilong.

As soldiers, of course, they unconditionally trusted the judgment of the military department, but as the battle passed minute by minute, everyone could feel that under the baptism of spells, Xia Hui Dragon's magical reaction was constantly improving.

It is rapidly recharging and returning to its enhanced state.

So what to do now?

"Captain!"

Seeing that the duration of the high-level spells was coming to an end, Julius remembered the special arrows assigned to him before the battle, and couldn't help but say, "Should we—"

"Wait!" Ryan said in a deep voice, "The White Raven's support is coming. ”

"White Raven ......" Julius was stunned for a moment, saying that he had not seen her since the beginning of the battle.

With her ambiguous relationship with the military department, she could not be absent from this battle, but he looked around and didn't find the shadow of the white raven.

The White Raven is independent of the Military Department, which only tells them what they need to do, and reveals that they will provide support later.

But how to support it, no one except the commander knows.

He was wondering when the white raven would appear, when a silver thread suddenly split his vision in two.

The slanted silver thread appeared from a great distance and came to his eyes almost instantly, instantly slicing through the elemental turbulence caused by the high-level spells and plunging headlong into the glass-colored wings of the glowing dragon.

Wait, Silver Thread?

No, it's ......

What is the trajectory of the flight!

Julius's eyes widened, the Radiant Dragon had retracted its wings and wrapped itself in a cocoon-like glass-colored shield, allowing the high-level spells outside to rage, but it remained unmoved.

But now, when this silver thread fell on the Xiahui Dragon like a meteor, the cocoon of the copper wall was easily broken.

The glass-colored shield shattered in an instant, and the silver thread drove straight in, and then bright dragon blood churned out of the hole!

"Whew-"

"Boom!"

The next moment, the scream of the silver thread tearing through the air and the sound of hitting the object were belated, and at the same time there was the mournful sound of the Radiance Dragon.

"Roar—"

It was directly hit to the ground by a sudden and powerful force, and the glass-colored left wing was pierced through a hole like rags, and a large amount of blood gushed out of the hole!

"This—This is ......"

Everything happened too fast, Julius was stunned, and the Xiahui Dragon, who was helpless when everyone worked together, was actually hit hard in an instant.

How is this possible? What kind of magic is this!

"Reinforcement is coming, let's do it, shoot with special arrows!"

A gleam flashed in Ryan's eyes, he no longer hid his strength as an eighth-order knight, stomped his feet on the ground, pulled out his knight's sword and galloped towards the Xia Hui Dragon.

The glowing dragon hissed, and after smelling the breath of death, a look of fear finally appeared in its eyes, and it struggled to get up and flee outside.

The left wing was hit hard, and now it could not even fly.

Here, the knights bent their bows and arrows one after another, and fired continuously at the Xiahui Dragon, which was trying to escape.

The glowing dragon urged its magic power to converge on the lightning realm, condensing into a dense lightning net behind him, trying to intercept the arrows flying towards it.

If it is a normal standard arrow, it will be shot down and intercepted by the interference of the power grid, but this is a special arrow made of demon-breaking silver iron!

The Demon Breaker Silver Iron drove away the surrounding electric elements, and almost without pause, it broke a hole in the surface of the power grid and shot at the Xia Hui Dragon's body.

The sharp tip of the arrow pierced through its armor and sank into it, and the Radiant Dragon staggered to the ground.

It was no longer able to sustain the spell after being wounded, and the lightning between heaven and earth and the power grid dissipated.

"Death!"

Ryan leaped high, and the knight's sword in his hand burst into brilliant light, stabbing at the head of the Radiant Dragon from top to bottom.

"Roar!"

When he was dying, the bloodiness of the Xiahui Dragon was also stimulated, and the crown of its head lit up with a cyan light, in a vain attempt to condense into a sword of Thor and die with Ryan.

But it underestimated Ryan's strength and overestimated his own form.

Before the Thor Sword could take shape, Ryan stabbed the sword, the sharp blade piercing its skull and reaching the hilt, and the frenzied magic attached to the sword instantly wrenched its head to pieces.

The blue light of the crown quickly dissipated, and the glow dragon finally stopped struggling and fell to the ground without moving.

Ryan stepped on the head of the Xiahui Dragon, pulled out the bloody knight's sword, and raised it high: "The Xiahui Dragon has been defeated, we have won!" ”

Win!

Seeing this situation, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed their tense nerves.

Julius sat on the ground with no image, snorting and panting.

The pressure on them was too great.

"Well, I'm right."

Agaté walked over and held out his hand to him, "I said this special arrow could be aimed at the Radiant Dragon, and it did. ”

The last defense of the power grid set up by the Radiant Dragon was useless in the face of their rain of arrows, and it was the last straw that crushed it.

"I don't think it has anything to do with us."

Julius rested for a while, then got up and said, "The blow just now was done by the White Raven, and without her attack, we wouldn't have been able to keep the Radiance Dragon on this alone." ”

If it weren't for the sudden blow that dealt a heavy blow to Xia Hui Dragon and reversed the situation in an instant, the battle would never have ended so quickly.

"yes, that blow was godly."

Recalling the meteor-like silver thread, Agaté also sighed, "This looks like an attack from far away, and I don't know how the white raven managed to do it?"

"But why bother with this, the white raven itself is an incredible existence, hehe...... I'm so glad she's our companion. ”

As he spoke, a green flare went up.

This is a symbol of the successful conclusion of the battle, and it will not be long before the reinforcements arrive to cordon off the scene and carry back the corpse of the dragon.

While waiting for his return, Julius walked over to the corpse of the Dragon, and when he saw the injuries on its body, his pupils shrank slightly.

"It's ...... Steel nails? ”

The cause of the dragon's death was indeed the sword that Ryan stabbed at its skull, but it also had a tragic wound in its chest.

The main body of the silver thread was a steel spike with a tail wing, and it not only pierced through the frenzied storm of high-level spells outside, pierced the glass-colored wings of the Radiant Dragon, but also pierced through the scale armor on its chest.

After penetrating all defenses, the spikes finally sank into its body, wrangling a large patch of visceral flesh near the wound.

This was also a near-fatal wound, and it was from this blow that the Xia Hui Dragon lost most of its ability to resist, and was soon killed by the violent Ryan's sword.

Remembering the direction the spikes had come from, Julius looked at a mountain in the distance, a full two kilometers away.

With such a fast speed and such a long distance, it is no wonder that Xia Huilong did not react at all.

Perhaps, this is the secret weapon that the General Staff has spent more than ten days specially preparing.

But thinking about it like this, the doubts in his heart became even more.

How can this steel nail, which is many times larger than the caliber of an ordinary arrow, accurately shoot at a target at a distance of two kilometers?

Where does the force that drives it to fly at high speed come from?

Julius frowned in thought, then shook his head and smiled, and turned to leave.

Whether it's a white raven or the general staff,

These geniuses really didn't disappoint him.

……

"Alchemy, it's amazing, isn't it?"

Witnessing the whole process of the steel nail hitting and Ryan killing the Xia Hui Dragon through Yuna's perspective, Nolan was also relieved, which proved that his research during this time was not in vain.

This special ammunition was made by him based on the structure of an artillery shell in his previous life, and its name is the tail stabilized shelling armor-piercing shell.

The outer surface of the steel nail is encased by a layer of cartridge stock, which plays the role of filling gunpowder and ensuring the airtightness of the barrel.

When the cannonball is fired, the butt will fall off, revealing the body of the steel spike made of Broken Silver Iron.

The steel nail also carries a tail structure, which facilitates its ballistic stability in long-distance flight.

It was this special steel spike shot from a distance of two kilometers that sealed the battle, and of course, in addition to the performance of the equipment itself, the quality of the sniper himself was also crucial.

Wisps of white smoke drifted from the mouth of the cannon barrel, and Yuna lowered the smoothbore sniper magic cannon "Ganganir" in her hand and slowly exhaled:

"Confirm that the target has been hit, and, confirm that the target has been eliminated."

"Hmm." Nolan bowed, "A very beautiful shot...... You're really special. ”

Apart from Yuna, who else can master the sniping skills of accurately hitting a target from a distance of two kilometers in just half a day of training?

Even if she is replaced by an eighth-order powerhouse like Ryan, she may not necessarily do better than her, and cultivation talent and combat talent are two different things.

Hearing Nolan's compliment, Yuna pursed the corners of her mouth slightly.

When she promised Nolen that she could snipe at a target from two kilometers away, she certainly had confidence in herself, but she did have other expectations in her heart.

Five hundred meters? A kilometer? With such a powerful alchemy weapon, anyone can do this kind of thing.

But if anyone can do it, anyone can become a white raven, then why is my existence necessary?

I had to be the most special one.

Whether it's the special white raven in everyone's eyes.

Or the special maid in Nolan's heart.

I will do my best to do this, just so that one day I can become a being worthy of you.

And the phrase "you are special".

It is the best compliment you have given me for my efforts.

……

Afterwards, Nolen rushed to the scene of the battle with the support force and joined up with the raiding team.

"Yes, cut the glass armor on the wings, and the magic bag on the abdomen, these must be kept."

He directed the logistics to dispose of the corpse of the Xia Hui Dragon, and looked at the hole in its left wing that was shot by a steel nail, and his face couldn't help but show a look of pain.

Fortunately, the glass armor on the right wing is still well preserved, and it is enough as a material for making a shield.

"Nolan."

Ryan walked over and greeted him, his eyes silently sweeping over one of the maids who followed him.

After returning to meet Noren, Yuna stripped off her combat uniform and Valkyrie gear, and stood beside him in the form of a maid.

Ryan was followed by Julius, Agaté and other knights, but they didn't expect that the white raven, who they had just admired, was standing silently in front of them at this moment.

"The difficult monster has finally been solved."

Nolan and Ryan walked to the cave next to them, "Now it's time for the main event...... Let me see what's hidden here. ”

The cave is about three meters wide and two meters high, and the passages inside are almost vertically downward.

This big person can get in, but Xia Huilong can't, so it just stayed near the cave during this time, and didn't do anything else.

At Ryan's signal, a light mage cast a spell to summon a ball of light, which slowly sank into the cave and descended more than ten meters deep before reaching the bottom.

To be precise, it is not that the bottom has been probed, but that the passage has turned around, and the situation of the back passage cannot be seen from the upper angle.

Of course, the military department also prepared for this situation, and a high-ranking knight quickly put on his reconnaissance tools and prepared to go down to the cave to conduct human flesh reconnaissance.

His helmet is equipped with a luminous lantern to illuminate the following caves.

At the same time, there are light bars tied to the body, which are filled with special alchemy liquid, which can emit long-lasting fluorescence after shaking and mixing.

In addition to the basic protective suit for his whole body, he also has a rope attached to his waist, and if there is an accident, people outside the cave can also quickly pull him up through this rope.

Ready, the scouts descended into the cave and soon lost track at the turn of the passage.

Then, after a while, there was a faint sound of swords colliding in the cave!

The faces of everyone present suddenly tightened, and Nolan said in a deep voice: "It should have encountered a crystal giant scorpion." ”

However, with the strength of the high-level knights of the scouts, these crystal giant scorpions should not be his enemies.

Sure enough, there was no obvious movement from the rope tied to him.

As time passed, the long rope continued to extend downward, and soon stretched out to a length of more than 100 meters.

Suddenly, there was a violent pull on the other end twice, which was a signal for the people below to return, and the outside of the cave began to tighten the ropes.

In anticipation of everyone, the scout quickly crawled out of the cave, and he returned safely and intact.

"What did you find?" Ryan looked at him with blazing eyes.

"Report to the head of the group." The investigator reported, "As predicted, there is indeed a vein of Magic Crystal Ore underneath.

"It's just...... This vein seems to be different from the usual. ”
