Steel steam and flame

After the bullets were fired, Cassia threw away the musket, directly pulled out the revolver, and rushed towards the evacuating crowd relying on the cover of the tree trunks. Cassie Hei rushed to Cassia's side in a few steps, and his roar became much louder.

"All other members should evacuate!" The captains chased after them and ordered at the same time.

"Attack the dragon knight first!" The three commanders reminded at this time. They were stationed at the edge of the southern forest all year round. They knew a lot about things in this wide area. On the Hou Xiang Continent, only the Flame Alliance, which has a completely different situation, has beast cavalry as a unit. With cooperation, its combat capabilities are comparable to many heavy armored tanks loaded with weapons. Inside, dragoons and other second-category creature beast cavalry are the most dangerous units, and they have heard a lot of information from their respective superiors. During the mission, the last thing they wanted to encounter in the deep forests of the south was the dragoons. Without fire support, many of the weapons they carried during the mission could not break through the scales of the dragons.

Just like a talent born with humans, Dragon Knights have the ability to get close to other ferocious animals. To a certain extent, you can also command some second-type creatures to fight for you. In the Flame Alliance, every dragon knight has attracted much attention in the tribe. Whether it is status, power, or training resources, they are tilted towards them as much as possible. Just like the outstanding heirs of the major nobles in the empire, the attitude of the family or tribe towards them is to be as satisfied as possible without touching the bottom line.

When they first made the plan to capture the young dragon, the three commanders had thought about the possibility of encountering the dragon knight. It was only after preliminary investigation that they found no trace of the dragon knight around the young dragon that their movements gradually increased. On the one hand, dragoons are a dangerous unit, and on the other hand, it is an undisputed fact that the threat level will decrease when either one of them is lost.

In a sense, the dragons used as dragoon partners are not very different from the dragons kept in captivity by the empire. Because the cooperation of the two is required in many aspects to exert huge destructive power, the cooperation accumulated in daily training is the biggest threat to the two.

They did not expect the dragon knight to appear at such a time, and several commanders always believed that he had died in the forest. This is within the territory of the empire. In normal times, dragonriders from the Flame Alliance would not appear here at all. Unless there is a special reason, whether it is a mission or being seriously injured deep in the forest, it is impossible to become a dragon knight without knowing the consequences of a person of his status crossing the blurred border between the two countries in peacetime.

But there was no time to think about this now. A dozen captains all activated their pneumatic weapons and surrounded them. Several people rushed forward to intercept Cassia and Cassie, but the serious lack of information did not allow them to realize that the real source of danger was not just the young dragon.

"Cassie Black!" Cassia shouted as he raised his revolver to restrict the positions of several captains. Cassie Hei on the side responded and rushed forward. The next moment he landed, his two claws were still sliding on the ground, his body had already stood upright, and the broken sword slashed forward.

The revolver's attack did work. Several captains had to change their positions midway to avoid the bullets fired by the explosion. The broken sword fell immediately, and a captain hurriedly blocked the pneumatic sword in front of him. But the bright red blade only cut through half of the broken sword, and the huge force suddenly fell, completely pressing it into the ground. The remaining captains took this opportunity to rush to the broken sword. The red shadow flashed and cut off most of the broken sword again.

Cassie Hei quickly retracted his claws, and a bright light exploded over the broken sword. The steel-cased bomb exploded with accurate seconds, and the fragments splashed sparks on Cassie Hei. Several captains instantly arched their bodies and bounced around. The muzzle of the revolver followed one of them closely. Two bullets caught the trajectory and shot the body Blast a big hole.

Cassia knew that they could not delay any longer. The airship was approaching them, or it was forming an encirclement so that the firepower could be completely covered.

The speed increased to the extreme, and each step left deep footprints on the soft rotten soil. None of the captains tried to stop him at this time. At the same time as he turned to evacuate, Cassia's whole body was filled with danger signals. The body immediately stopped in place, and the wind formed by the pulling caught up. Three balls of fire fell from the leaves, and suddenly expanded into a huge fireball. The air waves and impact made Cassia take a few steps back before neutralizing the power. Cassie Hei slid forward a few meters before he could barely stop his body, but it was not at the center of the explosion. Only the scattered shrapnel created sparks on its body.

"Rust" pieces of bullets scattered in front, and tree fragments flew. Cassia turned her head and looked behind her. Except for the captain who had just intercepted them and was still evacuating in all directions, the other captains were standing in the distance and watching quietly through the gaps between the intertwined tree trunks, correcting the attack position of the airship at any time.

"Oh, ah, hmm," Cassie Hei retreated to Cassia, his huge head looked at Cassia, and his body seemed to be curled up into a ball. Even though Cassia was beside him, he still felt scared due to instinctive fear.

He patted Cassie Hei's head, but because it was too big, what he actually patted was only his cheeks covered with sharp teeth. Not knowing why she was in the mood to think about this, Cassia sighed, maybe because she didn't feel her life was threatened yet. If you are alone, under the cover of the canopy of ancient trees, without the guidance of an observer, it will be very difficult for an airship to capture you. But now it is impossible to abandon Cassie Hei and evacuate on his own. It has no trace of a dragon at all now, and is more like a docile animal that has been bullied outside and crawled to its owner to find safety. It is even more impossible to attack the surrounding captains. The high temperature of the pneumatic weapons is not afraid of the black scales on their bodies, and there are too many targets.

Cassia turned over and jumped on Cassie Hei's back, roaring, and Cassie Hei immediately ran to the side. A dozen captains followed from a distance, reporting their location information immediately. A few seconds later, heavy artillery fell on their path, and the expanding flames spread in the enclosed space, and the air waves formed by the impact hit Cassia with sparks.

Cassie Hei roared, and his body instinctively moved back. This reminded Cassia of the scene when he first met Cassie Hei, lying weakly on the dead leaves and calling herself to save him.

"You shouldn't be waiting for me here. If you want to leave, they will definitely not be able to keep you." Cassia pulled the body thorn lying on Cassie Hei's head and asked him to run in the other direction, "But the reasons are all I didn't expect you to stick to the area I designated for you."

"Hungry." The only response she got was this sentence. At this moment, Cassia remembered that she had not taught Cassie Hei a more complex language. There was not much communication between the two, and the most words seemed to be this sentence. Maybe he just meant "scared", Cassia could feel this from Cassie's burning body temperature and fast beating heartbeat.

"I'm right next to you now, Cassie Hei. There's nothing to be afraid of. Fly!" Cassia patted Cassie Hei and made a rising gesture next to his head. At this time, his wings were folded more and more. The heavy artillery exploded closer and closer to the two of them. Cassia quickly changed direction, but the aerial bomb crookedly passed by from the other side and exploded beside them. The judged position is getting more and more accurate. Cassia believes that the ammunition of the thirty or so airships above the forest must be enough before the cannon bombards him.

"I'll take you to eat!" Cassia said in words that Cassie Hei could understand. He let go of the body thorns he grabbed, his scales opened and closed at the same time, and then his hands wrapped in hard horny bodies hugged each other fiercely. He grabbed his own wrists hard.

The spikes on the fingertips penetrated between the open scales, each pulling out long wounds. Liquid metal-like blood seeped out, and some fell on Cassie Hei, making a sizzling sound, but it failed to corrode the scales without leaving any trace. Cassia immediately let go of her hand and stabbed hard at the places where the scales fell off on both sides of Cassia's black neck.

Breaking the skin easily, Cassia could feel the boiling blood burning, and the devouring method was immediately activated. Cassie Hei suddenly wailed, but still ran away desperately towards the front.

"Dong..." He flew less than ten meters away, and Cassie Hei suddenly lost his balance. His body fell to the ground, and his sharp claws came out of several deep ravines.

"What's going on?" The captains behind him all stopped and looked at the strange scene in front of them. They were sure that the artillery and bombs had not hit the young dragon. The commander immediately corrected the attack position for the airship. But in less than two or three seconds, the young dragon had already stood up.

"What happened!" I don't know who said it, and the commander who was still correcting his position immediately shouted into the communicator, "Retreat at full speed!"
