Zongman: Reincarnation in the Other World, but Goblin
Page 148
Originally, the Flame Dragon Queen would not have died so early. In fact, if there were no other accidents, she would not have revealed her figure and appeared in front of these tiny humans like ants.
This harassment and invasion of the border areas of the human kingdom is actually just a trial that occurs once every ten years for the dragons of Dragon Island.
Dragons that perform well naturally have priority in choosing a mate.
By the way, in addition to returning to Dragon Island with abundant food from the human world, it also announced to the outside world the transcendence and deterrence of Dragon Island.
Of course, because it is a trial for young dragons, many waves may naturally arise out of nowhere. The world is so big that it is not ruled out that there are some forces or monsters that are not afraid of the strength of Dragon Island.
In addition, as a powerful species with an initial strength of over level 50, as a corresponding price, the reproduction ability of the dragon clan can be said to be among the last.
Therefore, every dragon from Dragon Island can be said to be extremely precious.
This is also one of the important reasons why these dragons placed the trial site at the border of the human kingdom instead of other places containing powerful monsters.
The death of every young dragon is an irreparable loss for Dragon Island.
This time, the role of the Flame Dragon Mother is naturally the judge of this assessment.
By the way, he is also responsible for the care and protection of every young dragon.
This is also the fundamental reason why this powerful caretaker, who should have been lying comfortably on the cloud platform, watching the mountains and swimming in his spare time, appeared in the world in such a hurry.
Just now, she was distracted for a moment, and two young dragon cubs were chopped through by the sword of the weak human who had not seen through her true colors.
Apart from anything else, after returning to Dragon Island, she would definitely be branded as a poor caretaker and would be nagged by those old men endlessly.
Who would have thought that he had only picked up a leisurely little job to get away from the crowd, enjoy the scenery and relax along the way, but when he arrived at this remote border of the human camp, such a big thing would happen all of a sudden!
Thinking that she would be nagged by those old immortals after returning to Dragon Island, the Flame Dragon Mother first glanced angrily at the Sword Saint who had already grasped the hilt of the peculiarly shaped Libra Sword again, and then looked at the simultaneous attack of the many adventurers in Maple Leaf Town with disdain.
In her opinion, the only reason this tiny place deserved her attention was because of that audacious and hateful woman.
As for the weak attacks of these other ants, they are just like an ant trying to shake a tree and they are overestimating their own abilities.
Although this small attack was nothing more than a drizzle of rain in the early morning to the Flame Dragon Queen, which could not splash even a little water, but who made the Flame Dragon Queen so angry now?
Looking at those tiny ants who overestimated their own capabilities with a little sarcasm, the Flame Dragon Mother gently opened her mouth.
Immediately afterwards, an extremely hot breath with a very large range was instantly poured onto the top of the city.
The dozen or so adventurers who first came into contact with the scorching dragon’s breath had no time to dodge and were instantly vaporized and disappeared between heaven and earth. As for those adventurers who had luckily escaped the fate of disappearing into thin air, their fate was even more miserable.
They were like the city walls that were slowly melting like butter. Under the scorching flames, it seemed as if their entire souls had turned into candlestick oil lamps, and they collapsed to the bottom after experiencing untold pain.
For a moment, it was just a small breath of the Flame Dragon Mother after her first appearance, and the momentum of the people in Maple Leaf Town, which had been finally re-gathered under the power of the Sword Saint, suddenly collapsed.
Could they really defeat such a terrifying level 60 dragon monster, even with the extremely powerful Sword Saint?
In just a moment, people were in panic and could only look in despair at the terrifying dragon with its wings spread out, like a dark cloud covering the city and blocking out the sky.
As for the appearance of the Flame Dragon Mother, the Sword Saint, who had always maintained a calm expression when she learned that half of the dragon hunting crossbows had malfunctioned and became unusable, couldn’t help but frown slightly.
It’s not that she was afraid of the strength of the Flame Dragon Mother. It was just a level 60 monster. Even if it was a dragon that was more powerful than other monsters, it would only make her spend more effort.
However, if the Flame Dragon Mother is present, once she starts fighting with this big guy, she probably won’t be able to take care of these adventurers and the residents of the town.
In addition, half of the dragon hunting crossbows were missing to serve as a distraction.
No matter what, after this battle, it seems that this small Maple Leaf Town is bound to suffer this unprovoked disaster.
Thinking of the tragedy that would occur in the world when these giant dragons wreak havoc, the Sword Saint, with a frown on her face, couldn’t help but feel compassion for a moment.
Lorraine had always believed that the reason why the Sword Saint was so open and aboveboard in taking out the Dragon Hunting Crossbow was that she must have had some other trick up her sleeve.
However, only this Sword Saint, who shocked the world with her military power, knew that her greatest reliance on this journey was nothing more than her own powerful strength.
Because she had to confront the gigantic Fiery Dragon Mother, the Sword Saint tightly grasped the Libra Sword and stood quietly on the top of the city wall under the fierce wind.
After the Flame Dragon Mother’s previous dragon breath destroyed the few remaining dragon hunting crossbows, the giant dragons that were originally circling in the sky naturally had no more interference at this time, and they all swooped down with long roars.
Just when everyone was in despair, accompanied by the rumbling sound of horse hooves, several arrows that were even more powerful than the previous dragon-hunting crossbows came from a distance and shot at the dragons again!
………………
Chapter 281: An acquaintance? The Prince of Gray Kingdom!
Looking at the sudden huge arrows shot at the dragons from a distance and listening to the rumbling sound of horse hooves, except for the kingdom’s elite adventure teams who had already made up their minds to die, the adventurers and residents of Maple Leaf Town could not help but look hopefully at the Sword Saint on the top of the city wall who was confronting the huge Flame Dragon Mother.
Could this be the backup plan prepared by the Sword Saint?
Perhaps, they still have a chance to struggle and survive, because reinforcements are coming!
Lorraine, who had quietly moved away from the city wall with Frost Dance long before the Flame Dragon Mother appeared, had a thoughtful look on his face.
Things seem to be becoming more and more interesting.
Although he really had no idea of the full cards and strength of the human and dragon sides at first, even so, his decision to destroy half of the dragon hunting crossbows after careful consideration now seemed to be a stroke of genius.
Due to a malfunction in the dragon hunting crossbow, the dragons were not all trapped as expected. Instead, half of them managed to escape and launched an attack on Maple Leaf Town.
Faced with such a predicament, the Sword Saint knew that she had to take action to boost morale.
So she acted decisively and killed the two dragons in front of her in the easiest way.
However, it was this action that brought her into mortal feud with the Flame Dragon Mother who had been lurking in the sky.
The Flame Dragon Mother was originally responsible for protecting the dragons, but now she has to go out in person and engage in a life-and-death battle with the Sword Saint.
This battle will be a crucial battle that determines the fate of Maple Leaf Town.
Of course, the appearance of the Flame Dragon Mother became the last straw that completely overwhelmed Maple Leaf Town. With the Flame Dragon Mother’s restraint, if the Sword Saint did not have any other backup plans, those giant dragons that she could not take care of for the time being could definitely easily destroy this small Maple Leaf Town.
Fortunately, it seems that the Sword Saint still has a final means of defense.
Moreover, it is likely that these cavalry regiments, whose uniformity and majesty can be heard just by their voices, are one of the important reasons why the Sword Saint dares to openly display those dragon hunting crossbows to the public.
Apart from anything else, just this cavalry regiment that appeared as a reserve force, the crossbows they carried seemed to be no less powerful than those dragon hunting crossbows that consumed a lot of manpower and resources in Maple Leaf Town!
Now, both sides have played their cards and have suffered casualties on each side. It can be said that a mortal feud has been formed. What follows will probably be a fight to the death!
Thinking of this, Lorraine couldn’t help but turn his expectant gaze towards the direction where the dust was shaking in the distance.
He now only hoped that the cavalry regiments that came to support him would be stronger, and it would be best if they could resist or even kill some dragons without the care of the Sword Saint.
Only in this way would the obviously furious Fire Dragon Mother dare to fight for her life with the Sword Saint.
Well, next, no matter whether they fight to the death, as both are level 60 beings, one has many divine blessings, and the other is an innately powerful dragon, they will certainly not be able to take care of the situation in Maple Leaf Town for the time being.
In order to prevent the aftermath of the battle from affecting the dragons or the residents of Maple Leaf Town, the two key figures who determined the direction of the war had to find another place to fight.
If this is really the case, then in the end, Lorraine will have to have the final say in Maple Leaf Town.
And if he wanted to be bolder, and the Flame Dragon Mother and the Sword Saint fought fiercely, and both were defeated in the end, Lorraine could not only capture the Maple Leaf Town in one fell swoop, but even his plan to capture the Sword Saint could be launched early!
They were unaware that there was a third party force coveting this small Maple Leaf Town. Because of this sudden huge arrow, the two sides in the battle obviously stopped their actions quietly.
The dragon was obviously afraid of the arrows that were as powerful as a dragon-hunting crossbow, while the humans were simply trying to survive while hoping for reinforcements.
Accompanied by the sound of horse hooves that sounded like the beating of war drums, the cavalry regiment that had taken the lead appeared in everyone’s sight at a rapid speed.
However, what was somewhat beyond everyone’s expectations was that the flags hanging on this legion were not only the emblem of the familiar Kingdom of Giorar, but also those from the neighboring Gray Kingdom.
In addition to the Kingdom of Giorar, there is also a cavalry regiment from the Kingdom of Gray coming to support!
Under the protection of a group of knights, two figures quickly climbed up the city wall of Maple Leaf Town. Behind them, siege crossbows with power even more amazing than the dragon hunting crossbow were quickly placed on the top of the city by the knights.
As for the two figures in the lead, they were none other than Norn, the second son of the Kingdom of Giorral, and Grey Joy, the prince of the Kingdom of Grey!
After a brief conversation with the Sword Saint, she finally understood the reason for the appearance of these two people and the support of the Gray Kingdom Cavalry Regiment.
It turned out that Grey Joy, the prince of the Grey Kingdom, had heard that his fiancée, Freya, the first princess of the Giorlar Kingdom, was captured by the goblins in the Shadow Forest, so he wanted to come to the Shadow Forest to look for her and see if he could rescue his fiancée.
On the Maple Leaf Town wall that was as solid as the Great Wall of Steel, Nollen and Grey Joy, two figures as dazzling as stars, streaked across the sky like meteors and climbed to the top of the city.
Behind them were those knights who were as mighty as gods of war. They placed siege crossbows on the top of the city walls, like mighty beasts, demonstrating their powerful strength.
These siege crossbows are like giant beasts hidden in the darkness. Once launched, they will bring devastating power.
When Grey Joy heard the news that his fiancée Freya was captured by the goblins of the Shadow Forest, he roared angrily like an enraged lion and wanted to tear those hateful goblins into pieces.
His eyes were filled with anger and determination, as if he wanted to set the whole world on fire.
Later, after hearing the news that the dragons would attack Maple Leaf Town in the near future, the prince of the Gray Kingdom simply brought a capable cavalry regiment, hoping to help Maple Leaf Town resist the dragon’s attack.
Seeing the cavalry regiments of the two kingdoms coming to support, the people of Maple Leaf Town, who had originally fallen into complete despair, showed ecstatic expressions on their faces. After all, no one wanted to die here.
Not only that, they also brought a huge siege crossbow that was even more powerful than the dragon hunting crossbow!
You know, the dragon hunting crossbow can easily kill a dragon!
The appearance of these siege crossbows made everyone excited, and after seeing the power of the dragon hunting crossbow, the Flame Dragon Mother was obviously on guard against these powerful weapons. She absolutely could not tolerate these dangerous weapons continuing to stay here and threaten herself and her children, so she planned to destroy them before they could show any combat results.
Although she had no idea what the Flame Dragon Mother was thinking, the Sword Saint was obviously prepared for her sudden attack just now, so after a brief conversation with Grey Joy, she drew the Libra Sword again and wrestled with the Flame Dragon Mother again.
However, despite the help of two cavalry regiments, the people of Maple Leaf Town still felt powerless when facing the Flame Dragon Mother.
After all, the gap in strength between the two sides is too big, and this little aid is unlikely to change the situation.
However, now the Sword Saint only needs to simply restrain the Flame Dragon Mother. As for the other relatively weak dragons, they can be left to Grey Joy and the siege crossbows to deal with.
Now, the offensive and defensive dynamics are different.
The situation on the battlefield has reversed, and what we should be worried about are those arrogant dragons that are coming to attack!
………………
Chapter 282: The dragon that is determined to make a desperate move; Lorraine fishes in troubled waters!
To be honest, Lorraine did not expect the sudden intrusion of the second princess of the Kingdom of Giorral and the prince of the Grey Kingdom, Grey Joy, at first.
He originally thought that the Sword Saint’s hidden means were just those super-level magics that could turn the tide of battle in an instant.
Originally, before eavesdropping on the conversation between the Sword Saint and Grey Joy, Lorraine was still wondering: if it was reasonable for the Knights of the Kingdom of Giorar led by the Second Princess Norn to come to support, then the Grey Kingdom’s sending of troops to assist seemed a bit far-fetched.
However, after listening to Grey Joy’s brief explanation, Lorraine remembered.
The guy standing on the top of the city wall now seems to be the childhood sweetheart that Freya mentioned before.
Of course, although this was only one-sided, Freya had no impression of this guy at all.
However, since he was Freya’s fiancé and had now followed her to the Shadow Forest, Lorraine naturally felt that he should “entertain” this prince who had come from afar.
As for the ever-changing situation in Maple Leaf Town, perhaps because of his onlooker mentality, Lorraine can see it more clearly.
If the appearance of the Flame Dragon Mother previously restrained the Sword Saint and allowed the dragon side to regain the capital to act recklessly, then the appearance of the two knight orders from the Giorar Kingdom and the Gray Kingdom is the final weight that completely crushes the dragon side.
No matter whether it was the effective supplement of combat power or the siege crossbow that seemed even more powerful than the dragon hunting crossbow, for the group of dragons that had lost the protection of the Flame Dragon Mother because they were restrained by the Sword Saint, whatever they did next would be nothing more than a dying struggle.
Now, the dragon side is obviously in a disadvantageous situation.
But this is not the scene that Lorraine wants to see.
If we were to say what scene Lorraine most expected from the battle in Maple Leaf Town, it would naturally be that the Flame Dragon Mother and the Sword Saint would both be defeated, and then the group of dragons and the humans in Maple Leaf Town would die together.
Now, the dragon clan is weak, and the human side only needs to advance steadily and cautiously, and can win the battle at little cost.
This obviously did not conform to Lorraine’s original plan.
He must make the current situation in Maple Leaf Town as chaotic as possible!
After thinking about it, Lorraine couldn’t help but turn his attention to the leaders of the two knightly orders.
A red-haired knight holding a rapier, graceful and elegant like a gentleman, and a silver shield bearer holding a huge shield engraved with the emblem of the kingdom, as big as a mountain.
These two people must be the core souls of the two cavalry regiments that came to support.
As the saying goes, to catch a thief, catch the leader first.
If Lorraine finds a way to get rid of these two core figures in the next battle, then first of all, these two seemingly powerful cavalry regiments will become a mess, which will in turn affect the morale of the entire human side in Maple Leaf Town.
But the first push is strong, the second becomes weaker, and the third is exhausted.
The first official appearance of the dragon hunting crossbow caused considerable damage to the dragon side, but because half of the dragon hunting crossbows malfunctioned, the momentum of the Maple Leaf Town side, which should have been condensed into a twist, became loose.
Afterwards, the powerful posture of the Sword Saint barely propped up the morale of the humans in Maple Leaf Town, but it was soon interrupted by the extremely powerful Flame Dragon Mother who was able to restrain the Sword Saint.
And now, if Lorraine were to disperse these two cavalry regiments, which had given another shot of adrenaline to the people of Maple Leaf Town who had already fallen into despair, it would be in line with the ancient saying that the momentum that Maple Leaf Town had accumulated with great difficulty would directly plummet!
But for the dragon side.
Although on the surface they have nowhere to retreat, they can only watch their companions being devoured bit by bit by the tiny humans.
However, it is this dead-end road that is visible to everyone, which is the one that can best arouse the bloodiness and anger that these dragons have been suppressing.
