177: Forward and backward strikes
"It turns out that this is the tooth of Tiamat......" Leonato only realized after listening to the dragon's words, the weapon in the opponent's hand was actually the tooth of the dragon god! No wonder this thing was so tough, it was not damaged at all under the full force of the elemental wind.
It's ridiculous that he thought he could keep him under the tower on his own, but he tried his best, and even burned his life, it still ended in failure. But the other party looked relaxed, and it seemed that he hadn't even used half of his strength. Now it seems that this evil dragon has no confidence at all, and has not taken himself seriously as an opponent from the beginning! The Wind Elf Knight lay on the ground in sorrow and gave up resistance, he closed his eyes and waited quietly for the next attack of the black dragon without saying a word.
At this moment of imminent death, Leonato felt a sense of relief that he had not felt in a long time. He is the general of the Pella Silver Shield Legion, as an orthodox soldier, he has always been responsible for defending his family and defending the enemy, but his benefactor and top boss secretly colludes with the enemy country and conspires to make peace! Leonato is torn to choose between the honor of a soldier and his loyalty to the deputy regent, and his heart is painful, and it is not until this moment that it can be resolved.
However, after waiting for a while, there was no movement. Wind Elf Qi barely opened his eyes and asked strangely, "You...... Why don't you do it yet?"
The dragon crossed his hands and looked at him with interest, "You really want to die?"
“...... Perhaps. Leonato coughed up another mouthful of blood and sighed: "When you die, at least you don't have to do anything against your will." ”
At this moment, a loud bang suddenly came out of the tower. The tower trembled violently, and at the same time, a series of screams and angry curses continued to sound.
Elrence frowned, he wasn't the only one Perdiccas had sent to attack Refractive Castle. In fact, he was only in charge of the feint, and the real killer was probably Seleucus, the regent's right-hand man. Listening to the voice just now, it is estimated that another attacking team took advantage of the fact that they were wreaking havoc in the front and launched a surprise attack from the flank and rear.
"Ahem, ahem...... Look, it looks like Perdiccas' real killer forces are on the move......" the Wind Elf said with difficulty.
"Oh, so you know his jihua too?" asked the dragon curiously.
Leonato smiled wryly: "We don't know. But it's not hard to guess. Perdiccas was scheming, and since he had decided to act, he must have laid a net long ago. How can it be possible to send only one of you to attack? According to his usual style, a frontal attack is just a false shot, and there will inevitably be a follow-up hand left! His Royal Highness the Deputy Regent is also well aware of this, and has already arranged for countermeasures. Zuihou who wins and who loses. It's hard to say right now......"
After listening to the words of the wind elves, Elrens suddenly realized, no wonder after he broke into the refractive castle, the obstacles he encountered were far less tough than he imagined, it turned out that Mel Agros was not confused by the regent's Jihua, and the real strength was still behind.
This is also normal, the other party, as the deputy regent, has a lot of experience in fighting. Coupled with the fact that he had worked with Perdiccas for many years, how could he be easily fooled? Perdiccas' follow-up reinforcements were endless, and Melagros was besieged in the Refractive Castle and would be defeated sooner or later.
At this time, Leonato then said: "Your companions will definitely pay heavy casualties if they fail in their sneak attack, why don't you go and help?
The evil dragon nodded, he was not interested in helping, but the deputy regent must have a lot of treasures in his hands, he wanted to sneak over and loot before Seleucus and the others got their hands on it!
"Well, since you're already impatient, then I'll fulfill you!" Ellens said, raising a claw and slapping it down on the Wind Elf Knight!
The dragon's claws were so powerful that Leonato, who was already seriously injured, would not be spared, and he knew that he was finally freed, so he simply closed his eyes and waited for death. Only a loud bang was heard, and the Wind Elf Knight was slapped with rubble all around, but he himself did not feel like he was being crushed into meat sauce as he imagined.
Leonato opened his eyes and saw that the opponent's five giant claws, as sharp and hard as dragon spears, had been deeply inserted into the stone slab beside him, but the palm was slightly arched to leave a gap, and only lightly pressed on himself, not killing him!
"What does this mean?" the wind elf asked, curiously, "Do you want to play with your dying prey like a cat and a mouse?"
Elrens smiled, withdrew his dragon claws, and said, "You are already dead in that blow just now! From now on, you are no longer the wind elf you used to be, and you don't owe anything to Melagoros." Live well and use your abilities to do your part in Pella's resistance to the enemy invasion!"
After the dragon finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Leonato alone on the ground, watching his back as he left in a daze.
"Wait, wait!"
Just as Elrens was about to fly upwards with a wave of his wings, the wind elves suddenly shouted at him.
"What are you doing?" the dragon turned his head a little impatiently.
Leonato hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Melagros has left the central privy chamber and fled to the refractive barrier at the spire to take refuge, accompanied by the messenger sent by the HRE, the chief of the Teutonic Knights, Albrech! And the enemy's elite Teutonic Knights are likely to take the opportunity to follow in and clear the way for the incoming Shinra army! Melagros's strategy is to defend the Refractive Barrier until reinforcements arrive, when his army colludes with the enemy's army, and it is enough to turn defeat into victory! You must hurry up, or I am afraid that Pera's country will be destroyed tonight!"
Elrens frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, "This refractive enchantment." What's so special about it......"
At the top of the magic tower, the refractive enchantment was empty, and there was a bright white light everywhere. Standing here is like standing in the middle of a white cloud. The vice-regent of Pera, Melagros, and the chief of the Teutonic Order, Albrech, waited here in silence for news, and the atmosphere was very solemn.
Not long ago, Perdiccas launched a surprise attack on Castle Refractor. However, to Mel'aglos's surprise, it turned out to be an adult black dragon who was responsible for the frontal attack!
Melaculus thought he knew the regent well, and knew that he had never been fond of uprightness and more of a man of intrigues. The real killer will certainly not attack the Refractive Castle from the front. Therefore, he gathered his elite in the rear, and placed very few people in the front, only the Lich Otto from the HRE and his own Legion of Silver Shields, Leonato. In his opinion. The liliang of these two masters alone is enough to block the feint attack from the front.
Unexpectedly, this black dragon that appeared out of nowhere was extremely powerful, and in two or three clicks, it broke the Lich's Ten Thousand Graves Ghost Domain, and even the Lich who was almost immortal was killed by him! Rushed straight into the tower.
Melaculus was worried. Leonato is his right-hand man, although this wind elf general is extremely fast, but compared to the black dragon, he is obviously not an opponent, if he is not careful, maybe the other party will kill from the front! I wonder if I should transfer some of my troops from the rear to the front to block the black dragon?
Just as he was undecided, a bloodied general walked in from outside the barrier.
Melagros glanced up at the general, a middle-aged man named Kanaze, the captain of his own guard. He nodded. "When was the injury?"
"About fifteen minutes ago, the enemy's attack was too fierce. We've suffered heavy casualties, and I'm afraid we won't be able to resist it if we continue like this!" Kar shook his head and said in a low mood.
"Cheer me up!" Melaculus scolded angrily, raised his hand and pointed at the other and shouted, "Fold!!"
The surrounding light suddenly condensed on the body of the captain of the guard, and he saw that his multiple wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after a brief flash, the card was already intact at that moment.
Melagaros snorted coldly, put away his hand, and said: "You don't have to worry at all, as long as we hold on for a while, when the bottomless lake, Giantport, and HRE reinforcements from the bottomless lake, Giantport, and HRE outside the city arrive, we will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory!"
Ka nodded and didn't speak, still unable to keep up in his heart. Although Marshal Ptolemy and General Peisong have heavy troops, they may not necessarily send troops to help, in fact, they are just using each other's relationship, as the so-called catastrophe is coming, they fly separately, and now that the deputy regent has lost power, why does the other party have to save us?!
Even if they were willing to send troops, their generals would probably not obey their orders, and now the news of Melle's collusion with the enemy had spread to everyone's ears, and after being exaggerated by those with ulterior motives, everyone hated it, and they were afraid that none of the troops would be willing to sacrifice their lives to save him. As for the army of the HRE, these heretics have ulterior motives, and once the army enters the city, who knows what will be done!
Melagros looked at the listless Ka Na moment, and couldn't help but become more and more dissatisfied, but now it was the time to employ people, and the deputy regent had no choice but to ask in a relaxed tone: "What is the situation outside now, where is the enemy fighting?"
