Lord Harland
Chapter 384 The dragon escapes
After the auction, Richard returned to the territory with his soldiers. After returning to the territory, he immediately organized his manpower and stocked up on supplies and food. After all, he would need to lead about three to four thousand people to defeat the legendary dragon this time.
Three to four thousand soldiers, plus Warcraft horses, consume about ten tons of food every day. Relying on the bottle of starlight and the legendary space bag, they can last for more than ten days at most.
Marching through the primitive jungle is very slow and requires clearing of roads.
After entering the mountains, even with an army of professionals, they can march up to fifty or sixty kilometers a day.
However, compared with two years ago, the situation in the northeastern part of Haaland's leadership has improved a lot.
Although the Bolton family elves are small in number, there are still thousands of indentured servants building their territory, and they have been building roads in the past two years. Thirty kilometers from the Double Star Castle to the Elf settlement, a road has been built.
In addition, there was also a path that covered the one hundred kilometers from the elven settlement to the Demon Hunting City.
The Demon Hunting City is located in the original Dragon Vein Kobold Cave. This small castle is considered Harland's forward base and has been in operation for two years.
Initially, Wilde led a squadron of witchers to garrison the castle. After Wilde was promoted, the castle was managed by Cassano, captain of the witcher squadron and a fifth-level warrior.
In the past two years, Harland Territory has been trying to find ways to supply the Demon Hunting City. Now, more than 600 tons of grain and more than 200 tons of war preparation materials have been accumulated in this castle. There are about 500 defenders in the city.
Although the number of defenders is small, their quality is very good. In addition to the squadron of witchers led by Harland, there are about 300 scattered witchers.
These demon hunters come from various regions in northern Xinjiang, and most of them are professionals. In small-scale battles, their combat effectiveness is very good.
Precisely because the defense force of Demon Hunting City was not weak, the legendary black dragon Ramos did not rush to send troops to take back the place.
Entering August, Haaland has made preparations. Richard and Grand Duke Jonathan wrote letters and decided to set out together on August 3 to attack the legendary dragon.
In this operation, Richard decided to go out with all his elite troops and strong generals.
Harland led the first battalion, the first battalion of Warcraft Cavalry, the first squadron of the guard battalion, the special squadron, the demon hunter squadron, the elf squadron and other elite troops to assemble. Among the three thousand troops, the number of professionals was as high as one thousand. About five hundred people.
On the sixth day of August, Richard led his troops to the Demon Hunting City. At the same time, Grand Duke Jonathan also led his elite troops to the Forward Castle.
The forward castle is about a hundred kilometers away from the legendary black dragon's lair, which poses a greater threat to Ramos. Although the threat from the west increases, Ramos still decides to deal with his opponents in the east first.
In the last battle, although Ramos defeated Stareno and annihilated more than 5,000 human soldiers, he also lost a lot of men.
The dragon-veined kobolds were completely wiped out, the bipedal dragons lost about half, and the jackal soldiers lost six hundred. In just two years, except for the jackal soldiers to fill the gap, the remaining arms could not replenish their troops.
Compared with two years ago, the strength of the legendary black dragon has weakened by about 20 to 30%. The strength of the army led by Duke Richard and Jonathan was far greater than last time.
Ramos concentrated most of his power and once again led the two-legged dragon to dive towards Duke Jonathan's army. Last time, it was with the legendary dragon's lead that he defeated Stareno in one fell swoop and decided the victory of the battle. burden.
Unfortunately, this time Ramoos's opponent was Duke Jonathan. Although the legendary dragon's combat power was very powerful, Duke Jonathan successfully restrained Ramoos.
Without the powerful attack arrow of Ramos, the flying dragon's aerial assault was easily blocked by Duke Jonathan's army.
The air raid failed to achieve success, and the ground attack also failed miserably.
Although the impact of dozens of terrain dragons was very strong, causing more than 500 casualties to Archduke Jonathan's army, they also lost more than 20 of them. Even the half-dragon soldiers under Ramoos's command suffered heavy losses during the ground battle. There were also about twenty casualties.
Seeing that he could not defeat the advancing castle army, the legendary dragon Ramoos had no choice but to withdraw.
In this battle, Grand Duke Jonathan lost 600 troops and wiped out about a thousand enemies. Although most of them were jackal cannon fodder, there were fifty or sixty dragonborn killed.
Ramos was unable to defeat Archduke Jonathan, and the battle ended in defeat.
On the ninth day of August, Richard and Harland led the soldiers. After an arduous march, they finally met with Archduke Jonathan near Dragon's Nest.
After both sides rested for a day, they immediately launched a fierce attack on the dragon's nest.
The Dragon's Nest is a natural medium-sized magic well. Ramos has been operating in the Dragon's Nest for many years and has deployed a variety of large-scale magic circles.
It will take a tough battle to break through the dragon's nest.
Duke Jonathan led his troops to attack Dragon's Nest from the east, while Richard and Harland led his troops to attack Dragon's Nest from the west. The two sides started fighting almost at the same time.
Richard took the lead and led the first brigade at the forefront. Thunder struck down from the top of the mountain, and it turned out to be a large five-ring magic fire thunder ball.
When the thunder landed, Wendy held the thunder staff and released a series of lightning spells.
Bolts of lightning were released from Wendy's hands, accurately hitting the fire and thunder balls in the sky. Lightning and fire thunder collided, causing a violent explosion, releasing patches of white light and smoke.
After blocking the fire and thunder ball, streams of flames poured out from the dragon's nest, which turned out to be a large four-ring magic fire spell.
Wendy had just released the six-ring magic chain lightning and had no energy left to take action, but now the Harland Mage Association already had a lot of helpers. Annie and Eve, the five-ring elf mage, took action almost at the same time, releasing the four-ring magic freezing rain. Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was a torrential downpour within a square kilometer. In just a minute or two, all the flames were extinguished. .
Above Ramoos' dragon lair is a medium-sized magic well that can store about five times as much magic power as a small magic well.
Because of the abundant magic power, five types of mid-level magic are deployed in the dragon's nest, which can release fifty large-scale spells.
After the fire spell ended, the half-dragon mage on the mountain set up a trap and cast the four-ring magic stone falling spell.
More than a dozen boulders suddenly fell on the top of the mountain. Heath and Butler worked together to release the fossil-to-mud spell at the same time, which resolved the falling rock spell.
Nowadays, there are many mid-level magicians in Harland's leadership. Before Richard, Sophia, and Undine took action, the magic traps on the dragon's nest were resolved one by one.
Due to the restraint of Duke Jonathan, the amount of magic that landed on the heads of Harland's army was about sixteen.
These sixteen magics are all large-scale magics. Their casting range is much larger than standard magic and they consume more magic power. In order to block these twenty magics, the Harland Mage Association has nine mid-level magicians, eleven and three The forty-six first- and second-level magicians exhausted their magic power. Even Wendy, the sixth-level magician, had consumed 80% of her magic power and handed the lightning staff to Richard's hand.
Ramos monitored the battlefield in the dragon's lair. Because of Archduke Jonathan, most of his attention was focused on the east. There were fifty large-scale magic spells on the dragon's nest, and thirty-four of them landed on the leader of Jonathan's army.
Although Archduke Jonathan recruited magicians, the magical power of the Grand Duchy of Stanek was far inferior to that of the Kingdom of Grant. In addition, the major nobles were acting in a shady manner, so the magic power was still dominated by the Jonathan family.
The magic power of the head of the Jonathan family is average, not as good as that of the Duke of Harland. With thirty-four large-scale magics, the mage group can't stop him at all.
The mage group was unable to provide protection for the soldiers. After the spell trap was released, there were already about 300 casualties under Archduke Jonathan.
If Leader Harand hadn't contained one-third of Dragon Nest's magical power, and fifty large-scale magics were aimed at Archduke Jonathan, the casualties would have increased to about two thousand people.
After all, the later the time passes, the less help the mage group can provide, and the greater the casualties of the soldiers.
There is also no Archduke Jonathan. Fifty large-scale magic hits Harland's army, which will also exhaust the magic power of Richard, Sophia, Undine and others. According to Richard's estimation, the Harland Mage Association , can receive up to forty-three Dragon Nest spells.
The remaining seven magic spells can only be defeated with human lives, and the casualties will not be small.
After the magic power accumulated in the Dragon Nest was exhausted, Ramos rushed down from the top of the mountain with the remaining soldiers.
Since there was no legend on Richard's side, Ramos decided to attack him personally, hoping to defeat the weak enemy first, defeat Richard and then block Archduke Jonathan.
So when it dispatched its troops, it placed the terrain dragons, trolls, and half-dragons in the east, while it took the two-legged flying dragon to attack Richard personally.
Seeing Ramos swooping down, Richard immediately wanted to release the star bomb.
It's just that the legendary dragon flies very fast. If it can't be restrained, it will inevitably avoid the center of the explosion of the star bomb and may not be able to seriously damage the opponent, so Undine and Sophia took the lead.
Sophia and Undine are both eighth-level mages, and the spells they release can already threaten legendary level masters.
Sophia took the lead in casting a spell and released the seven-ring magic rainbow chain. Two magic auras appeared instantly and bound Ramos' claws. For this magic, Sophia used ten points of mental power to release a powerful spell. Even with the legendary dragon's magic resistance, she still couldn't get out of trouble.
At the same time, Undine took action almost simultaneously, releasing the eight-ring magic binding cage, and countless magic chains extended out to lock Ramos.
Sophia and Wendy took action at the same time, limiting Ramos' range of activities. Richard immediately seized the opportunity and released the Starlight Bomb.
A ray of white light fell from the sky and quickly hit the legendary dragon's head.
In an instant, the ground beneath Ramos' feet shook, dust flew up, and a dazzling white light appeared in everyone's eyes, making it impossible to open their eyes for a short time.
The power of the star bomb is equivalent to standard four-ring magic. Even if a legendary third-level knight is hit, he will die on the spot and cannot stop it. However, the dragon's magic resistance far exceeds that of humans. This super-large magical creature has extremely strong vitality. Although it was hit on the spot by the star bomb and was in the center of the explosion, it still survived.
However, at this moment, Ramos's injury was very serious and he did not dare to continue fighting.
Ramos was seen desperately fanning his wings, and he didn't know what secret method he used, and disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye. His flying speed is much faster than that of wyverns and griffins, making it almost impossible for Richard and others to capture him.
On the contrary, five or six of the wyverns operating with Ramos were directly killed by the starlight bomb, and more than ten wyverns on the periphery of the explosion were injured.
These injured flying dragons were captured by the soldiers led by Harland.
With one star bomb, Ramoos gave up the dragon's nest and fled directly. The remaining flying dragons did not dare to continue fighting against Harland's army.
It's just that it's easy when you come in, but it's hard when you leave.
Although the flying dragon wanted to escape, it was stopped at high altitude by the flying troops led by Harland. Harland led the magic hot air balloon, gryphon cavalry, and flying dragon knights at the same time, blocking the nearby space. In addition, the sharp archers, With the help of the magician, eight of the escaping wyverns were successfully captured by Harland's army. Of the more than 30 attacking wyverns, only six or seven managed to escape.
"Follow us and sweep away the wyvern's lair."
After the battle, Richard immediately sent an order to Drifen, asking him to take all flying units to catch up with the fleeing flying dragons and kill them all in one fell swoop.
After the flying troops left, Richard led his soldiers to defeat the jackal army and took the lead in breaking into the dragon's nest.
Not long after Richard invaded the dragon's nest, Duke Jonathan also led troops to defeat the half-dragon, terrain dragon, and troll teams. In this battle, because Ramoos went to Richard's side, Duke Jonathan had no opponent, and the casualties were only There were about a hundred people, but they managed to kill more than a dozen terrain dragons and captured more than twenty alive.
The dragon marrow liquid in the mouth of the flying dragon and the terrain dragon is a very important treasure to the Jonathan family.
It is a pity that this kind of dragon-blooded monster may lose its life in the next few days once the dragon marrow liquid is taken away. Even if it survives successfully, it will not be able to release breath spells. Without this trump card, its combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened.
Moreover, the terrain dragon has a bad temper and is not as intelligent as the wyvern, so it is very difficult to tame it.
If the Jonathan family wants to cultivate a Terrain Dragon Warcraft Cavalry, it will probably take a lot of effort.
Although trolls and ogres were intelligent creatures, they were cruel in nature and had the habit of cannibalism. They were all killed by Grand Duke Jonathan.
The half-dragons are also intelligent creatures and surrendered to Archduke Jonathan when the situation was unfavorable. The Jonathan family is originally half-dragon, and it is impossible to discriminate against members of the same race.
The half-dragon joins Jonathan's family and will soon become their ally.
After the two sides met, they began to discuss dividing up the treasures in the dragon's nest.
According to the agreement, all the magical plants near the dragon's nest belong to the Duke of Harland.
Richard asked the magicians to look around and found more than a hundred dragon blood fruit trees.
Seven or eight of them have evolved into high-level dragon blood fruit trees, and one high-level dragon blood fruit tree has matured, with three dragon blood fruits hanging on it. At this moment, the time is completely ripe to refine the legendary Styx potion.
