Volume 31 Battle Dragon in the Sea Chapter 9 The Covenant of Fighting Again

Indeed, although his whole body was soaked in dragon blood, the terrible wound on Kress's waist was still shocking, and several huge holes almost cut Kress into two pieces, in fact, he could still live until now, far beyond the vitality of humans.

Seeing Thor coming to his side, Kress said with difficulty: "Lord Lord, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't protect you anymore. Please help me say I'm sorry to Julie when I get back..."

"!" Thor's eyes were red, "Who said you would die, how could you die." There will be salvation, and you will definitely be saved!"

As he spoke, he took out Kuimak's suicide note and quickly flipped to the page where the healing beast was sealed: "Raymond, hurry up, we must still be in time." ”

Looking at Kress in a pool of blood, Raymond had a picture of Luz's sacrifice. Unexpectedly, he cleaned up the mess for Netheris and actually put Cresse in, knowing that he couldn't agree to those greedy dragons in the first place.

Just when everyone looked different and was about to meet Kresss's death, they suddenly heard an anxious voice say, "Wait, Lord Kress is still saved!"

Everyone looked up, but it was Toussaint who was speeding towards this place. When he came to the shore, he jumped onto the dock and said as he ran, "Lord Cress, quick, drink the blood." ”

"What?" everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they didn't understand.

Kress was already on the verge of death, and the blood of the sea dragon was highly poisonous, so didn't he die fast enough?

By this time, Toussaint had come to Cress's side. As if seeing everyone's doubts, he hurriedly said, "Please believe me, only the blood of the young master can save Lord Cress now." ”

"For what?" said Thor.

Dusan said: "Originally, in my capacity, I shouldn't have said such things, but now I can't care so much." The blood of the dragon clan is very sacred, and now the young master has been purified by that crystal. Dragons are gradually returning to normal, and drinking his blood will give Master Cress a tremendous amount of strength to survive such a severe injury. ”

"And the blood flowed from the young master's head, where it was first purified, and it contained the healing power of crystals, which was especially effective. So Lord Cress wants to live. You have to drink the young master's blood. ”

"Really?" Raymond and the others couldn't help but look at each other, this is too mysterious, right?

"He... That's right...", a voice came from the side.

Hearing this staccato voice, everyone was startled: "Gru!?"

It was Gru, who had returned to the docks at some point, walking towards him with his greatsword. He didn't give in much compared to Kress's condition, but Gru was able to move freely despite his injuries. It shows the tenacious vitality brought by the half of the dragon blood in his body.

Seeing him, everyone was very nervous. Now Kress, the only one who can fight Gru, is struggling on the brink of life and death, and if Gru has the heart to do it, I am afraid that most of the people present will not escape the doom.

Chip and Barste glanced at each other, and the two drew their weapons, each standing in front of Thor and Raymond.

As if he hadn't seen it, Gru walked over to Kress. Looking at Kress in a pool of blood, he said slowly, "You... It's me... Genuine... of opponents..."

I can get such an evaluation from Gru. It can be seen that in the battle with the Sea Dragon, Kress's performance has completely won the respect of Gru.

"Thank you. It's a pity that I'm still far behind compared to Nata, hahahaha..."Kress smiled bitterly, and then coughed violently again.

Gru said expressionlessly, "If you want to... Defeat me, and you'll... Drink. Three months later... I'll wait for you..."

"Very well, that's it. Kress said without hesitation.

Pulled out the dragon's tooth from the sea dragon's mouth last time from his bosom. Gru placed it next to Kress, then he turned to Toussaint and said, "Send me..."

"Understood. Toussaint nodded, and he said to the crowd: "I'll send Lord Gru to the nearby islands first, and his men will send a boat to pick him up, and I'll be back soon." ”

Subsequently. Toussaint dives into the water with Gru and quickly disappears.

After Gru left, Kress began to gulp dragon blood, and the wound on his waist soaked in dragon blood had stopped bleeding.

Baste's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but say to Raymond: "Young master, dragon blood, should we drink some too?"

Before Raymond could speak, Chip had already said in a deep voice: "If the body does not have enough endurance, this is no different from suicide." Of us, only Kress can. ”

Hope was dashed, and Baster pouted in a puff.

Gradually, the sea dragon's wound stopped bleeding, and Kress lay back on the ground. I don't know if it's a delusion, after drinking the dragon's blood, his state looks much better, although he is still extremely weak, but there is a glint in his eyes, at least he can see that he has returned from the edge of hell.

Touching his stomach, Kress suddenly frowned, and just when everyone thought something was wrong, he burped: "Well, it seems that I drank a little too much." ”

Everyone was overwhelmed, and Baste asked curiously, "What does dragon's blood smell like?"

Kress pouted: "It's hard to say, I think it's a little sweet, and a little spicy..."

At this time, under the purification of the crystal, the sea dragon had fallen into a stupor. If it heard these humans evaluate their own blood like ale, it would be mad again.

Although Kress was out of danger, Thor summoned a healing beast and began to heal Kress.

And with the sea dragon subdued and Denek fled, the war in the sea changed radically.

Although the Necromancer's fleet was superior in battle, a series of blows to their side completely destroyed their fighting spirit. In particular, a skull dragon flew out from the flagship, which surprised everyone and inevitably generated all kinds of suspicions.

With the destruction of the flagship, the enemy fleet completely lost the will to fight, and the remaining battleships began to retreat, trying to escape into the open sea through the passage they had entered.

Caterina commanded the pirate ship in pursuit, while Gregor and Dreaa began attacking the enemy's remaining forces in order to cut off their retreat.

The battle that followed was hardly suspenseful. After easily crushing the enemy's broken rear forces, Drea's huge "Brilliant Marie" blocked the passage tightly, and the enemy fleet was jammed with a large number of ships in the narrow passage, and it was no longer possible to continue the battle.

As a last resort, the enemy raised the white flag and announced his surrender.

That's it. This battle, in which there was a huge disparity between the strength of the enemy and the enemy, finally ended in the victory of the Combined Fleet. Although, both sides of the war paid a terrible price.

The docks of Antiva were almost completely destroyed, a large number of ships were destroyed on both sides, and the small sea between Antiva and the reef belt was filled with wreckage and corpses of ships, and the sea could barely be seen, which showed the severity of the battle.

However, with the sea dragon being subdued. The rest of the fleet surrendered, the necromancer's hard-built fleet was wiped out, and their dreams of maritime supremacy vanished.

Now, only the army of the undead on land remains.

It didn't take long for Toussaint to return. The sea dragon lay quietly on the shore, a faint white light flickering between the cracks in the scales, although its body was still extremely ugly, but its expression was no longer violent in the past. Becoming extremely serene, the crystal slowly dissolving the undead aura from its body. And soothe its nerves.

"What should I do with this?" Thor asked.

Du Sang said: "I will take the young master back to the master, and the master will do further treatment and purification for him, but the young master has become like this, I'm afraid that in the future..."

Speaking of this, Toussaint couldn't help but let out a long sigh, his eyes full of melancholy.

Everyone understood what Toussaint meant. The tail of the sea dragon is cut in half from it. The destruction of the right eye and the tearing off of a third of the neck by the bone dragon were irreparable damages. And there are countless wounds on the body, large and small.

Even if it were to revert to a normal dragon, the wounds on its body would never recover. This is supposed to be a beautiful and elegant sea dragon. But I have to let this disabled and ugly body accompany me for a lifetime, the life span of the dragon clan is extremely long, and it is very sad to think about it.

"In short, thank you very much, it is all thanks to you that my young master can recover from the control of those evil necromancers. Toussaint bowed deeply to everyone: "Please rest assured, the master will definitely reciprocate." ”

"Then, I'll take the young master to go first. ”

With that, Toussaint returned to the sea, transformed into a ship larger than the Brilliant Marie, swallowed the unconscious sea dragon whole, and then set sail away.

After Toussaint left, the next thing was to clean up the battlefield and count the prisoners.

After the surrender of the necromancer's fleet, Caterina led the men to accept the captives and count the enemy ships. When this fleet was first established, the necromancer had invested a lot of money, and all the warships were built to the highest specifications, whether it was a corsair or a corvette of the Lowville Chamber of Commerce, it was far from comparable.

Therefore, although the battle suffered heavy losses, the capture of so many high-quality warships can be regarded as a rich reward.

Subsequently, Raymond and his entourage spent five days on Antiva Island, treating the wounded, repairing damaged ships, and sorting out captured enemy ships.

The effect of dragon's blood is indeed miraculous, and in the past 5 days, Kress's injury has improved a lot. Although the physical injuries were difficult to recover quickly, the vitality recovered quickly, and the wounds on the waist began to grow new flesh.

Due to the brilliant results of the battle, and the sea dragon and the enemy fleet that posed the greatest threat to everyone have been wiped out, everyone's mental state is very relaxed. Raymond, in particular, whose nerves had been tense since the necromancer's invasion could finally relax a little.

Another thing to be happy about is that Drea's conducting skills have been proven. Although he behaved decently in this battle, for a rookie who went to the battlefield for the first time and commanded so many ships to participate in such a tragic battle, his performance can be described as excellent.

In particular, the courage and decisiveness shown by Dreaa before the war gave him the best conditions to become a good fleet commander. In time, Headington's own fleet will surely shine in his hands.

Five days later, all the ships were repaired to the point where they could sail back to Headington, and the captured ships were thoroughly counted.

After negotiation, Caterina left some behind, and the rest of the ship was brought back to Hydington by Raymond and Saul. It is divided equally between the two parties.

For Headington, whose finances have always been tight, the construction of its own fleet, which has been delayed for a long time, has finally taken its first step because of this batch of warships.

Afterwards, they said goodbye to Caterina and set out on their journey home. Catalina needs to restore Antiva and redevelop the badly damaged pirates. However, she promised that in the future, if Raymond needed it, she would definitely go to help.

After half a month of sailing, the fleet, which dragged all kinds of damaged ships, finally returned to Headington.

The news of their victory sent the whole town into a stir, especially with so many huge ships brought back, for the first time in Hydington's history that such a large spoil of war had been stood.

But in this jubilation, Raymond couldn't relax. Because Freddy brought back the information from the Fereden Town Alliance and the Rawitt Federation in the more than a month since they left. It's all up to him.

Things haven't changed much since Raymond left. Upon his arrival in the city of Ferredon, Bryce immediately set about reorganizing his troops and rearranging the defenses.

During this time, they repelled several tentative attacks by the undead forces, but the other side did not make any major moves. On the one hand, it was due to the containment of the Sidonis sect, and on the other hand, the other party was probably waiting for the result of the fleet led by Denek.

Now that the necromancer's fleet has been defeated, and their painstakingly cultivated ace weapon, the Sea Dragon, has been subdued, the final battle on land may begin.

Luckily. At this critical juncture, the incompetent Duke Charles still couldn't shrink back. Not daring to trespass on the borders of Headington. According to the news from Ackerman, Duke Charles now locks himself in the palace all day long, neither appeasing people's hearts nor dealing with government affairs, and it is said that he will wait for Renard to calm down the country before rescuing him. The negative mentality can be seen.

As a result, the entire kingdom of Gaspard was disheartened, the army was demoralized, and the city of Orat was in chaos, with many officials and nobles who had been loyal to Duke Charles. I'm starting to plan for the back road.

For more than a month, many envoys of the nobles have secretly come to Headington to swear allegiance to Sophia. If this situation continues, the war for Sophia to regain the throne in the future may be much more optimistic than imagined.

However, it all had to be based on Raymond's ability to get out of the necromancer's war as quickly as possible and quickly capture all of Gaspard before Renard could provide support.

Although the civil war situation in the Kingdom of Dirk is still unclear, God knows when Renard defeated the royal brother and took the throne.

So the key now is when to kill those necromancers.

"I thought that if I won the naval battle, I would be able to easily do it for a while. After reading the information, Raymond couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I don't know that time is getting tighter and tighter." ”

Freddie said with a cold face: "Victory is never easy to come by, this is the price you have to pay to become a winner, I think you should be well aware of this." ”

"Alright, alright. Raymond waved his hand: "It seems that I have to rush to Ferredon City as soon as possible." ”

"It's better to leave tomorrow. Freddy said without relaxation: "We must cooperate with the Sidonis sect as soon as possible and launch a decisive battle." ”

Hearing Freddy's words, Sophia couldn't help but say worriedly: "But Raymond has just returned from the battlefield and is going to go to another battle immediately, can't he rest for a while?"

Freddie said unceremoniously: "Even if you can fight for one more day, you will have a better chance of winning against Renard in the future." ”

"Your Royal Highness, all this is for your recovery, please understand. ”

Raymond laughed, "Freddie is right, now we have to race against time. It's okay, you don't have to worry, my advantage is that my physique is good enough and I'm not afraid of getting tired. ”

As he spoke, he raised his hands and made a muscle-flexing motion.

Sophia, who was worried, couldn't help but laugh at his actions. She knew that Raymond was referring to the fact that he was half of Beamon's blood, so she said, "I see, I won't stop you." But Raymond asks you to promise me that you will come back unscathed. ”

This time Raymond and the others returned to Hedington, the seriously injured Kress was carried off the ship, and Julie, who was usually tough, cried like a tearful man, which gave Sophia a great shock.

Even the almost invincible Kress was almost killed, and Sophia couldn't help but realize once again that the battlefield was not just a simple thing on paper, but an extremely cruel thing.

"I promise you, because I want to see you ascend to the throne with my own eyes. Raymond said, "I won't fall until then." ”

Sophia nodded happily, but she didn't know if "ascending the throne" triggered the worry in her heart, and Sophia's expression darkened again.

"What's wrong?" said Raymond wondered.

"Oh no, nothing. Sophia quickly smiled in disguise.

Most of Raymond's mind was on the decisive battle with the necromancer, so he didn't pay much attention to it, after explaining it to Freddy, Rickett, Charlotte and other people who stayed behind.

The next day, Raymond took Bath to the city of Ferredon.

Thor would love to see the Necromancer fall again, but Kresss almost died so Jessica wouldn't allow Thor to participate in the war anyway.

Therefore, Saul had no choice but to stay in Headington. Raymond was also relieved by this, after all, he didn't want his father to always take risks with him, although he knew that Thor was trying to make amends for himself.

Alas, when will such a tangled father-son relationship be able to meet honestly? (To be continued......
