Chapter 35: A Bunch of Robbers (Part II)
The red dragon was comfortably enjoying the sun's exposure when he suddenly realized that the atmosphere in the woods below was not right.
The finned ears twitched, and Ember heard the faint clash of weapons and shouts of killing coming from the forest. The caravan actually fought!
Although the Red Dragon didn't think that any robbers would come here to attack the caravan today, he noticed that no one else had entered the forest except the caravan.
It seems that the enemy has either been ambushed here for a long time or has appeared inside the caravan (in fact, in both cases). The red dragon didn't hesitate, and with a roar, his eighteen-meter-long body swooped in the direction where the shouting and killing sound came from!
The dragons all have the strength to challenge the next level, and with the strength of the embers, there is no pressure to suppress the ordinary gold-level human masters. What's more, the red dragon had long observed that there were no gold-level masters in the caravan, so it was not a big deal to rush down directly.
With a crackling sound of wood breaking, the red dragon's huge body directly smashed more than a dozen bucket-thick trees into pieces, and then fell to the ground with a "boom".
The dazzling sunlight was projected on the dragon through the space that the dragon had crashed into, making the red dragon look divine.
The robbers and mercenaries in the battle were so affected by this change that the battle all stopped, and everyone looked at the dragon as if they had descended from the heavens.
Looking at the two sides of the battle in similar costumes, the red dragon frowned: "Which of you is a robber?"
No one answered.
Until a sharp-eyed mercenary saw a small mercenary badge on the dragon's chest, and then he excitedly pointed at the opposite side and shouted at the red dragon, "They are robbers!"
"You're the robber!" blurted out one of the robbers on the other side.
"They're robbers!"
"You are robbers!" for a moment there was a commotion in the field.
However, the red dragon had already made a judgment in his heart, and quickly spat out a huge fireball and sprayed towards the most dense place of the robbers.
The robbers tried to hide, but their bodies couldn't keep up. The fireball exploded in the crowd in an instant, and a dozen robbers fell to the ground screaming, and the rest scattered like a frying pan.
Seeing this, the mercenaries were in good spirits, and quickly swung their swords to cut down a few robbers who had been sent to the door because they were in a panic.
The robbers were not a rabble either, and after the initial panic, they also reacted, feeling out various long-range weapons and aiming at the red dragon.
A long arrow struck the red dragon in the head, but it caused only a faint white mark and broke into two pieces. The next second, the robber who shot the arrow was slapped into pulp by the dragon.
Ember is confident in her defenses, and is immune to crossbow arrows, only arrows made of expensive materials or enchanted to penetrate them can pose a threat to her.
Sensing someone approaching from the side, the red dragon quickly turned his head and spat out a fireball. I saw that the person who came was a fat man with a mask, and when he saw the fireball coming, he grabbed a robber next to him and threw it at the fireball, and the poor robber instantly became an acquaintance.
It seems that he is a ruthless character, and he has to be solved quickly. The red dragon's mouth opened slightly, and the muscles in his throat vibrate, gradually condensing a golden ball of light.
Marco slashed at the dragon's leg, and the indestructible dragon scales cracked in the blow. The red dragon raised his claws and slapped it with a palm.
Marco's huge body showed incredible agility, and he dodged with a strange twist against the dragon's claws.
However, the agility of the red dragon was not inferior, and the huge body quickly turned around, and the thick tail swept towards Marco almost against the ground.
The robber man did not hesitate and jumped high to dodge the blow.
The red dragon tilted his neck back to look behind him as he swept his tail, and pointed his jaw to the sky at Marco, who had just jumped into the air.
There was a thunderous explosion, a blazing laser erupted from the mouth of the red dragon, and no matter how agile Ma Ke was, he couldn't turn in the air at the speed of light, so he was bombarded by the dragon cannon, and his fat body exploded all at once.
This kill undoubtedly frightened the bandits around them, but they didn't give up.
The three robbers circled the dragon's back to sneak attack, but they didn't want their actions to be seen by Ember, and just when they thought they were about to succeed, the dragon's thick tail swept over, and one of them fell down in time to escape, his teammates were not so lucky, and the other two robbers were swept away by the dragon's tail, which was thicker than their waists, and flew out like rag bags.
One of the men with a shield blocked it with a shield, but it was evident that his hand was broken by the force, and the man fell to the ground groaning. The other bandit without a shield was not so lucky, his body was directly broken into twenty degrees, and he died before he could fall to the ground.
The robber, who had dodged the fatal blow of the dragon's tail, hurriedly climbed up, but before he could make his next move, he saw a dragon's foot enlarge rapidly in front of him, following in the footsteps of the first two companions.
Ember didn't let up on the afterburn of kicking the third bandit away with a single kick on his right hind leg, because in the gap between it and the three sneak robbers in the rear, there were twice as many enemies in front of it.
The arrows fell on the red dragon as if they didn't want money, and Ember closed his mouth to continue spitting fireballs, and with a strong kick of his two powerful hind legs, the dragon swooped down on the robber archers who were shooting happily dozens of meters away.
A few archers didn't have time to dodge and were knocked out and flew more than ten meters away, and they couldn't survive. The bandits, who were not hit, were not slow to react, drew their swords and slashed at the dragon.
The sword slashed at the dragon's scales and splashed sparks, and the dragon's strong defense made the robbers fearful.
Finally, one of the robbers clung to the sword and pierced the scales of the red dragon's abdomen, but more than half of the robbers had fallen under the dragon's claws.
This injury was not even a minor injury to Ember, and the muscles in the injured part were pinched, cutting off the robber's desire to draw his sword.
The robber had no choice but to abandon his weapon, but only a few steps before the red dragon turned his head and bit him in half.
The remaining robbers were frightened, their morale was getting lower and lower, and seeing that they were outnumbered, they left dozens of corpses and fled in all directions.
The red dragon didn't pursue, snorting as they drifted away, and then turned to look at a few mercenaries not far away.
These mercenaries were all bloody, obviously at the end of their crossbows, but when they saw the red dragon looking over, they still instinctively raised their swords.
Ignoring them, Ember picked up Jolion's scent in the air and walked in the direction.
It didn't go far before the red dragon saw Jolien sitting on the ground, and saw that although he was in a mess, he was still intact.
"Looks like you're in luck. The red dragon teased, then looked at a female mercenary leaning against a tree.
The mercenary's full-length armor had become tattered, and there was a large hole in her leg, and a large area of blood stained red, but even then she stared at the red dragon silently.
"Thanks to you, Lord Red Dragon, this time. Jolien patted his ass and stood up, then looked at the mercenary next to him, "And Captain Rita." โ
......
Just ten minutes ago, when the robber Marco was about to kill Jolien, the red dragon like a god descended from the earth interrupted his move, and when he saw the red dragon killing in all directions, Marco left Jolien and headed towards the red dragon.
"Oh, don't go!" the bandit leader Jamieson tried to stop his companion, but failed. However, he was not discouraged, but took out a dagger, and with a grim smile on his face, he jumped towards the frightened Jolien.
Just as he was a few steps away, Jammieson suddenly saw something wrong with Jolion's eyes, and he reacted by reaching for the bomb on his belt, but it was too lateโa dagger reached out from behind and slit his throat.
Jamieson fell to the ground, and before he died, he saw the mercenary captain who killed him, and then died unwillingly with an unspoken "why didn't you die".
Rita was mortally injured in the bomb explosion, and if it weren't for the superior defense of her armor, she would have been killed, but thanks to Jamieson's confidence in the power of her bomb, she managed to kill the other party.
At this time, seeing the red dragon in the distance kill the "Road Fighter" in one blow, the eyes of this "all-metal slut" were not full of battle intent, but excitement mixed with admiration.
......
"It's on fire! Fight it!" the mercenary's exclamation came, and the red dragon remembered the flames he had just spewed.
Seeing that the fire had spread, a few mercenaries and a dozen caravan men who had just hid were in vain using wooden barrels to fetch water from the lake to fight the fire, but nothing was done at all, and the fire was about to burn the goods.
Naturally, the mistake he made had to be solved by himself, and Ember quickly ran to the lake, and then stuck his head into the lake and sucked his stomach for water.
Then he turned to the fire and spit out the water, the fierce flames of the fire suddenly froze, and after several consecutive rounds and the fluttering of his feet, the red dragon finally succeeded in extinguishing the fire.
Standing on the scorched earth after extinguishing the fire, the red dragon smacked his lips, if only he knew water magic, a rain spell was afraid that he would not be extinguished. However, the water of this lake tastes good, quite natural, and there should be a spring underneath.
On the other side, everyone who witnessed all this finally let go of their fear of the dragon and came over to express their sincere gratitude.
"What did you just say?" said Afterburn, pointing abruptly at a mercenary wearing only his underwear.
"No ......" The mercenary blushed, but under the fierce gaze of the red dragon, he still spoke: "I... I said I was just bathing in this lake......"
"Poof. The red dragon spat on him. Fortunately, the red dragon's ambergris is not acidic, and if Ember is a black dragon and a green dragon, the mercenary is now a corpse.
The other people around wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and they all blushed.
Seeing this, the red dragon sighed, turned his body around, and revealed a sword inserted in his abdomen: "Don't laugh, who will come and help me pull out the sword?"
