Of the five races, the total history of mankind is the shortest.

But the history of war is the longest.

This short-lived and action-packed race has been associated with war from the moment the first stroke of the first epic was written in ink to the present day.

This is certainly not something to be proud of, as the vast majority of our weapons and strategies are used against our own kind. But like everything else, it has its own value and necessity. And in this long history of warfare, which is as long as the history of mankind, when it comes to the question of weapons, equipment, castles, and even arms, all capable commanders, even if they are thousands of years apart, will make the same theory:

"There is no strongest weapon/class, only the most suitable. ”

Admittedly, there is a hierarchy between the classes, and the powerful mobility and impact of expensive cavalry and horses often allow them to crush their opponents' infantry. But if you want to rely on a heavy cavalry, you can't eat all over the world.

Man-made or natural terrain was one of the factors that restrained cavalry.

And if the opponent is strong enough to ignore the impact of the cavalry's most lethal weapon, the war horse.

They will also be at an impasse.

"Bang!!"

A dead tree with an adult man's waistline was thrown directly out of a distance of four or five meters, and then landed in the center of the crowd.

Screams, roars, and roars drowned out any attempts to command—they were all elite, but they were scattered in the face of an unrivaled force.

The type of these three earth dragons is the same as the previous earth dragon that was infected by the witch.

It is a branch of the Temperate Lower Ground Dragon, and its scientific name is Gray Saw-Ridge Ground Dragon, which is named after the articular spine that protrudes from the skin of its back like a hunchback, and when this type of Earth Dragon is lying on the ground, it looks like the serrated teeth of a saw from a distance.

Although the largest recorded specimen of this type of dinosaur can reach 13 tons and be 16 meters long, they are still classified as inferior wurms in the academic class.

One reason for this is that it doesn't have any breath or magic-related abilities - a blessing in disguise,—— it can only hunt on the brutality of its own flesh.

And the second reason is.

The nature of the Greysaw-Ridge Earth Dragon is extremely greedy.

Despite their considerable intelligence, their voracious carnivore nature often makes them no better than the lower carnivorous dragons or even dragon lizards.

- What does this mean?

There were few living creatures left in the Ba'ao Forest in the devastating weather brought by the witches, and the insignificant scars on the scaly skins of the dragons meant that they might have had a conflict with the undead, and their eyes were still normal yellow-green to indicate that they had clearly not swallowed the poisonous undead.

Henry, who appeared in front of the earth dragon in this situation, waited for them, like sending fragrant and delicious barbecue meat to the mouth of a person who had been hungry for several days.

Captain Stephen's worst fear as a hunting mercenary happened.

The hunter becomes the prey.

Although Stephen's hunting mercenary group is one of the best in the industry, they have few effective weapons against dragons.

The scales are as strong as steel, and with a thickness of two to three millimeters and raised edges, even a spear thrower and a heavy winch crossbow machine can only create a single notch that cannot be effectively penetrated. The only surefire you can do is for a strong warrior to use a powerful armor-piercing weapon for a melee attack, or to place a larger combo ballista.

But even so, this only broke through the protection of the epidermis, and compared to the huge size of the earth dragon, it could only be regarded as an attack of skin wounds, but it meant that the human side had to pay a great sacrifice.

They have the courage, but now is not the right time to build on it.

"Spread out!"

"Abandon the pack horses!" The gap between the elite troops and the fledgling rookies is not only the usual discipline, but also the time for them to readjust after falling into chaos is far shorter than that of the layman - after all, they are all people who have seen strong winds and waves, although they have lost a few members under the strong brute force of the earth dragon, but when they come back from the shock, they have come up with a level that is in line with their professional qualities.

The Striker's Safari distanced itself from the initial attacks of the Earth Dragons, and after expanding its range of action, it began to harass them with ranged weapons. These seasoned hunter-gatherers were familiar with this, and their shooting skills on horseback were so good that they were so annoyed that crossbows and arrows were fired at the fragile eyes of the Earth Dragons, successfully distracting the behemoths.

The trio of light riders distracted the Earth Dragons from side to side, making it impossible to tell which annoying little thing was attacking them, while the people who had just stepped on the flat ground quickly spread out to the left and right to avoid being too dense to dodge the Earth Dragon's bite.

Like a pebble thrown into a pond, the ripples in the circle spread out in all directions, causing the three earth dragons to lose their purpose. They had bought a little time, but if they didn't come up with a way to smash them and make them give up before the dragons could regain their target, they would have to abandon their supplies and scatter their team.

This is still based on the premise that the Earth Dragon will let them go.

Tons of earth dragons have a lot of appetites, and in the absence of other reliable food sources, they are likely to follow them even if they flee.

- But the situation deteriorated at a rate that even the Sage could not have anticipated.

The medium-sized earth dragon that came out of the forest to the north seemed to have the best mind, and after realizing that the arrows of the rangers could not penetrate its scales, it turned around leisurely and turned around leisurely, and stared back at the paladins who were about to retreat in front of them under the rain of arrows.

The huge yellowed teeth of "Roar ——!" and "Click——!! made a clear audible collision sound under the action of the strong and powerful occlusal muscles, and it chased towards the paladins This matter somewhat relieved the pressure on the people in the central main formation, but there were bitter words for Adolphus and the others.

"Drill into the woods!" said the paladin minister, who was in a hurry to enter the woods where the Earth Dragon's huge body was immobile. However, there were not enough large trees in the vicinity, so the earth dragons that collided with them were almost unobstructed, and the broken dead trees only interfered greatly with the actions of the humans themselves.

"Roar!" "Ahhhhhh

The knight in plate armor was nothing to eat, and the sword he held in his hand stabbed the upper part of its mouth when it was bitten down by the earth dragon, and the tingling and fangs caused the earth dragon to let out a deafening roar, followed by saliva that spat the bitten knight's flesh and twisted armor on the ground.

The glorious paladins were helpless in the face of such behemoths, but even if others wanted to come to their aid, they were too busy to take care of themselves.

The earth dragon in the middle was the largest, so despite the largest number of people in the main formation, Henry immediately gave the order to disperse. The loose array made it difficult for the huge Earth Dragon to exert its powerful brute strength, but it also made the few people at the front in danger of dying at any time as if they were dancing on the blade.

"Pack horse, use pack horse to lead away-" The idea of abandoning the pawn and protecting the car naturally arose, even if they knew that they would face a more cruel dilemma after losing such a batch of supplies, they could only do so in order to save their lives.

But the earth dragon didn't look at the pack horse.

What a desperate truth.

The dragon has a very bad character, and to a considerable extent, it is very similar to our domestic kittens.

The huge yellow-green vertical pupils of the earth dragon in the middle shimmered with a playful brilliance, wisdom, a brilliance that did not exist in the eyes of the miscellaneous dragons and dragon lizards that the hunting mercenaries had dealt with in the past.

Distracting it with easy-to-reach targets, which works wonders for more stupid predators, doesn't work for Greysawslore.

"Damn it, run!" "Shh

But as we said earlier, this doesn't work for it.

The pack horse wailed, but did not dare to move.

The behemoth approached slowly and leisurely, and its movements, despite the huge difference in size, made it feel more and more like watching a cat hunting.

It's just that when you look at it from the perspective of a bystander, it's a pleasure to hunt the abominable rats, and when you're in the position of your prey, you imagine that you might not even be able to die a happy death.

Cold sweat in the palms of the hands.

I can't stop it.

And then they saw it.

After waving the safaris away, the Sage dismounted, holding Kramer in his right hand and patting his horse's hip with his left hand to make his car run away.

"He's crazy. ”

A mercenary spoke up to almost everyone.

Two-meter-tall Henry was a big man among humans, but he was so small in front of an adult Greysaw-Ridged Earth Dragon that weighed more than ten tons.

The earth dragon looked at him playfully.

This tiny creature has always screamed and fled in front of it, and even if there are a few who do not escape, most of them are so frightened that their legs and feet go limped and collapse to the ground.

Wurm has an excellent sense of smell and hearing, and can often smell ridiculous urine, hear rapid breathing, and shivering sounds.

But not this one.

This one, the same tiny creature, had a steady heartbeat and a steady breath.

Smoothly raised the ridiculous sword, facing himself.

It lost patience, its appetite overcoming a little hesitation, no matter how dare this tiny creature face itself, under the dragon's jaw.

All beings will be given equal.

Death.

"Click-" Click——!'s powerful jaws snapped together, Mira behind her widened her eyes, Horno frowned, and Filippo's mouth widened.

A black cloak drooped down the corner of the dragon's mouth, and many of the mercenaries let out angry or regretful shouts, but the dragon itself turned its head angrily.

"Roar!!" it roared, and it was only then that the crowd saw something glistening on its left side of its chin—

Henry stabbed it in the jaw, and the earth dragon had never been so badly wounded except in a fight between its own kind. It suddenly realized something, that little silver thing could cause damage to itself, that was different - but all this wisdom was only at this level, it was not a high dragon after all, so the little fear was quickly overshadowed by anger and appetite.

It raised its head, and the precious dragon's blood spilled all over the mud, but Henry dodged to the side of the earth dragon.

"Click-" The bite failed again, and it changed its attack and tried to raise its claws to attack, but it was at this time that the sage was waiting.

Most of the slender earth dragon's body is covered in scale armor, and even if it is as sharp as Kramer, it is difficult to deal enough damage when attacking most parts.

But it is a living creature after all, and the joints of the body need to be moved, so naturally it cannot be all strong scale armor.

The inside of the limbs, like the armpits of a human, is where dragons have no scales at all.

Henry lifted Kramer high, and in an instant he kicked his feet and extended upwards.

"Roar——!" The pain in the heart caused the earth dragon to tilt its entire right slope and fall, and the hot dragon blood quickly flowed from the armpit of its left forelimb and covered the entire dragon leg. The sage quickly stepped back and regained his distance.

"Okay!" the mercenaries who saw this scene were greatly boosted.

"Support him!" Wizard Camilo immediately reacted, even if magic could not effectively damage the Earth Dragon, it was always possible to distract it and create opportunities for Henry. And faster than these human mages, Orno waved his hand and unleashed his attack.

"Roar!!" the earth dragon roared in rage, never so badly wounded, rolling on the ground in an attempt to find Henry's trace. The sage's actions were like the prelude to a human counterattack, and Stephen to the south, worthy of the name of high-ranking hunting mercenaries, successfully tripped the smallest earth dragon to the ground with a trap made of thick hemp rope.

The mercenaries who seized the opportunity smashed directly towards the dragon head that was originally high in the sky with heavy hammers, and the heavy blow that hit the key point made it difficult for the earth dragon to get up again, and they quickly expanded the results of the battle, but at this time, the isolated and helpless Adolphus and others in the north finally fell into a complete deadlock.

Broken trees spread all over the ground, and the paladins retreated into a valley with steep walls, only a few meters high that became deadly cages.

"Bad decision, but at least should I be glad it was the last wrong decision of my life....." Adolphus sighed with self-deprecation.

"Either way, I'm honored to fight alongside you—"

"Those in the back, abandon your horses and climb the rocks! Buying you time to escape is the last thing I can do. He spoke, but everyone behind him said nothing.

None of them left their cars, their weapons in hand, silently facing the approaching Earth Dragon.

"Really, a bunch of idiots. Adolphus shook his head, but a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"May the light of the Holy White shine on me, and I will remain at my post, both in life and after death. ”

"Born as a holy knight, may you die as you deserve it, and live up to this name. ”

"The knight obeys—" He raised his sword.

"Everyone, rush-"

"Bang ——!!!" "Roar !!"

After a flash of light, the earth dragon on the left let out the biggest scream yet.

"Uh-" The white-gold sword froze awkwardly in mid-air. All the knights looked up at the earth dragon that screamed and slammed into the side of the hill, its side bleeding profusely and the silver spear stuck in it glittering.

"Hearing such a big buzz, fortunately I didn't miss the party. ”

A calm female voice rang out above the cliff to the north, and the knights raised their heads. The man who made the voice walked to the edge of the cliff, dressed in light armor, and her silver hair was tied into a ponytail and swayed gently behind her head.

This lady's figure, face and appearance are unprecedentedly eye-catching, but the most eye-catching thing is that she gently sways with her steps.

on that belt.

Dazzling red card.

"Sorry for being late. ”
