"Steel Tendons, Iron Bones."
"Fearless Art."
"Armor Break."
There were actually a large number of spellcasters among the enemies. As various spells were sounded one after another, the knights who were originally wrapped in full armor were blessed again, and their whole bodies were filled with the aura of spells.
They did not hesitate when facing dragons. They raised their hands and fired a round of hand crossbows in conjunction with spell suppression. Then they immediately leaned down, kicked off the ground and sprinted straight towards Giant Dragon.
Ferrum looked at those ferocious arrow clusters, burned away all the slowing and binding magic on his body, and also threw forward.
The two sides approached each other at high speed on the narrow road, and then fought hand to hand.
"Disperse!"
As Nether Dragon waved his claws to grab the shot, the knights in the front row uniformly raised their shields to block. The other warriors slid to both sides, passing by Nether Dragon's body. At the same time, they threw out the hook without hesitation, locked it with all their strength, and roared to trap Nether Dragon in place.
At the same time, Olysia had already jumped up on the shield rider's shoulders and slashed Nether Dragon's throat.
There is no communication between them, but they have already prepared a plan to face the large-scale Aberrant Monster, and their cooperation is extremely skillful. Everyone performs their own duties and maximizes each other's strength.
With the help of various magic blessings, Olysia actually broke through Nether Dragon's Bloodfire barrier, and the sword edge reached the dragon's throat.
However, Ferrum was not surprised. He just calmly lowered his head and spit out black flames, then pulled his right claw, dragging three gnashing teeth of the Rune Knights and swept across them.
The sharp claws and sword blades clashed. Olysia was unable to overcome the dragon's huge power and was immediately repulsed. She fell back to Warband. The knights in the front row caught her with tower shields and worked together to unload her force and transport her to the rear.
"Opportunity!"
Seeing this, the knights on both sides took the opportunity to swing their swords and stab Ferrum in the waist and abdomen.
Ferrum's right claw was still in mid-air, seemingly defenseless, but as the enemy approached, huge bone awls suddenly penetrated under the skin. Those Nether Iron bone awls were as sharp as his claw toes, like spears thrust out from behind.
"Clang, bang, clang."
The knights who were waiting for the opportunity were completely unprepared. The armor alone was not enough to resist such punctures. One by one, they were pierced by the ferocious bone awls and fell to the ground clutching their wounds.
In just one confrontation, five knights fell dead on the spot.
Ferrum stretched his body, shook off the hooks abandoned by the knights, and looked at the remaining enemy troops.
This small Warband is undoubtedly an elite. Disaster Level are all above level seven, with stronger leaders. Coupled with teamwork and various spells and rune blessings, if an ordinary Juvenile Dragon encounters it, it may be very difficult and life-threatening.
Ferrum paced slowly, not in a hurry to launch a new attack, but observing his enemy during the battle.
The information provided by Zane is very complete. It has a detailed description of the size of the army and the strength of the soldiers at the border of the Tagoma Kingdom. However, the information seen on paper is not enough to form an understanding. The specific strength and weakness can only be collected after experiencing it personally.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and Ashmark Lineage's offensive was in full swing. The fighting was in full swing in Sand City, with dragon breaths, rune heavy crossbows and spells from various areas intertwined in the sky.
Thick smoke covered the sky, flames undulated along the roofs and roads, and explosions came from all directions, shaking the whole city.
Behind Ferrum, the troops of Kेलaili and Jelierion had merged. Together they smashed the inner city wall and continued to advance.
Arrows, swords and rolling stones continued to fall from high places. The Bearfolks pressed forward with their shields raised, and the Wyvern screamed and flew past the roof. They grabbed the defenders and lifted them into the air. Then they flung their wings and threw them into the Warband. As soon as a Gnoll climbed onto the fort, his chest was pierced by a spear, and he was smashed into the fire, causing flames to scatter in all directions.
Giant Dragon are slaughtering efficiently and quickly. Ashmark Lineage's dragons are showing a high degree of unity at this time. No one covets the treasures in the city, and no one is hiding behind. Occupying and looting are the work of the reserve forces. All they need is to attack, eliminate, and destroy the city's main defense force.
In the direction of the West District, the god Apostle is being chased by Legendary Dragon. The deafening roar can be heard all the way to the East City.
Broken flags, broken armor, and burning corpses piled up into mountains, and blood filled every street, turning Sand City into a horrific minced meat purgatory.
"This scene seems familiar."
Ferrum withdrew his gaze. The sight of Sand City reminded him of the former Ash Fortress, but he didn't have many emotions in his heart. War is war. Battlefield didn't have time to talk about right and wrong. There was only victory or defeat, life and death.
"I will be responsible for the attack. You just need to contain it. This dragon is not in good condition. I have seen it in Falcon's field of vision before. It is the leader of the dragon group."
Olysia recalled her knights and redeployed tactics.
Ferrum was slightly startled when he heard the sound.
The leader of the knights turned out to be a woman. This was something he had not expected, and she seemed to be very young from the sound of her voice. However, her whole body was wrapped in armor and her specific face could not be seen clearly. However, judging from the armaments of these knights, they should be a Tagoma noble with a high status.
"He who resists dies, and he who flees dies."
Ferrum said in Common Tongue: "Only those who surrender will live."
"Get ready!"
The knights gathered again, but the opponent completely ignored his words and prepared to attack.
Ferrum squinted his eyes, feeling a little unhappy, so he lit up Bloodfire again.
Compression of the heart Burning Heart.
Strengthen the activity of Bone Growth.
Turn on Blood Frenzy.
Turn on Rampage.
The next moment, the sand and gravel exploded into pieces, and Nether Dragon hunted wildly.
Battlefield was already in chaos. Broken walls, corpses and fighting soldiers crowded the streets. There was not much room to move. Nether Dragon's claws pressed forward fiercely. The knights did not dare to leave their companions to dodge, so they could only use their shields to resist.
Boom!
The two sides collided again, not as evenly matched as the first confrontation. The knights who formed a defensive line suffered a devastating blow in an instant.
The rune tower shield, which had received various blessings, was severely dented and deformed under the huge force of Nether Dragon. The knights in the front row were unable to resist such heavy pressure, and all their tendons were broken and fractured. They flew backwards like arrows from the string and directly smashed into the adobe walls on both sides of the road.
"Moonlight Slash."
Olysia's pupils showed the pattern of star flowers, and he held the rune sword with both hands, concentrating all his power on the sword's edge.
She jumped up from the ruins, faced Ferrum's head, slashed with all her strength, and shot out a half-moon-shaped white light in the air.
However, in the deep state of Blood Frenzy, Ferrum's reaction speed and perception ability were improved to the extreme. While the sword light was gathering, Ferrum had already turned around and stared coldly at the Half Moon Slash that was pushing forward.
"Elfborn?"
Ferrum adjusted his body, crossed his claws and tore into pieces, instantly tearing the light into pieces.
The dissipated energy blew away the rubble, and Ferrum jumped out again without stopping.
This Giant Dragon entered a state of rage for some unknown reason. It was so fast that it was like a fleeting moment. Olysia, which had no time to recover, could only raise its sword to block. It was hit backwards by the powerful force and hit the broken wall like other knights.
The broken wall collapsed. As soon as Olysia raised his head, he saw Nether Dragon sweeping along the offensive. The knights who had originally surrounded him were unable to dodge, and they were thrown away on the spot, including their armor, and were thrown into the fire behind.
Before the dragon's tail hit, black bone spurs appeared on its surface. Not only did the knights suffer a huge blow, but they were also penetrated by the bone spurs. It was obvious that they could no longer survive.
Olysia knelt down on one knee, supported his body with his sword, and coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood.
After the battle started, the dragon didn't use any complicated tricks. It just pounced, swept, and crushed it. However, the knights had no chance to fight with it. Each confrontation lasted only a few seconds. Its speed was astonishingly fast, and its power was like cracking mountains and cracking the earth. Even if the knights fought together, they would end up dead or injured.
These are dragons, the most powerful predators in the world, capable of killing people at every turn.
After three confrontations, her guard had completely collapsed, but not even a wound was left on the opponent's body.
Olysia began to feel despair, even fear.
That kind of power is simply not something that mortals can resist. If Lost Wilderness and Giant Dragon were all so powerful, Tagoma Kingdom would probably suffer heavy casualties in the fight against this invasion.
She gritted her teeth and stood up. In fact, Olysia understood the other party's Common Tongue, but she would never surrender to the dragon.
In the era ruled by Giant Dragon, humans were their food and slaves. No one could accept the fate of being used as food again. The gods rescued humans from the immortal species, and humans should use their own power to protect the group.
In the alleyway filled with sand, dust and blood mist, footsteps as heavy as drums approached step by step.
Ferrum didn't know what the opponent was thinking, but the small Warband had been defeated by him, and the surviving knights also lost their fighting power. Wyvern Cavalry was subdued by the arriving Wyvern Cavalry, leaving the elf leader standing alone.
Olysia's helmet flew off during the battle, and her red hair was scattered. She was probably a good-looking woman at first, but her face was now covered with scratches, dust, and some swelling.
Facing the approaching giant Nether Dragon, her eyes showed unnoticeable fear, but she also held the blade tightly.
"Courage emerges from fear, and there are such warriors among humans."
Ferrum nodded slightly, then swung his claws down mercilessly to take the enemy's life.
At this critical moment, under the huge claws that looked like a landslide, a green light suddenly appeared on Olysia, and a very high-grade amulet was activated, which actually blocked Ferrum's powerful attack.
At the same time, Olysia bucked the trend.
This was her last chance, and she couldn't miss it. She put all her strength and determination on the edge of the sword. The rune sword showed a bright red edge in the high-speed thrust, piercing Nether Dragon's chest.
It's a pity that the gap between races is huge. After Ferrum retracted his claws, he still had time to change his moves and directly grasped the thrusting sword blade with his horizontal claws.
Brilliant sparks spurted out, and amid the violent sound of metal friction, Ferrum firmly grasped the rune sword.
The broad-edged heavy sword that humans need to wield with all their strength is as small as a spoon in his hand. The blade only thrust forward an inch, and then could no longer penetrate further.
"Such a talisman, according to human worldly standards, should be considered a noble one."
Ferrum begins to exert force.
Olysia was horrified to find that "Annihilator's Blade", a rune creation made by the dwarf master himself, which had killed countless enemies and encountered armor Armor Break, was no match for the dragon's claws and toes. Under its power, it let out an overwhelmed wail and cracked inch by inch.
With a dull metallic roar, the rune sword that Olysia was proud of turned into a pile of broken iron pieces in front of her eyes.
Ferrum did not hesitate. While smashing the sword, he grabbed a backhand shot and hit Olysia hard. Then the armor that had been blessed with various runes also cracked and exploded. He directly knocked the opponent into the stone ground and fell into a coma on the verge of death.
"This woman has some status and is my prisoner."
Ferrum said to the surrounding Wyvern Cavalry: "Let Nipo be treated for a while, and I will take him on the road for interrogation."
