The reconnaissance team led by Sonia discovered a dragon being besieged by cluster giants near the edge of the war zone.
To be honest, Gawain was confused when he first heard the news.
Because his first reaction was whether Miss Mylittlepony fell from the sky again - after all, the blue dragon had a precedent in this regard, and his flying skills were not very reliable.
But he quickly ruled out this guess, because the report pointed out that the dragon was black. Gawain analyzed it rationally and felt that it should not be the result of Melita being blackened by arcane lightning. ...
But no matter what, he immediately sent support troops to meet the opponent at the breakout point marked by Sonia. At the same time, he immediately set off and arrived at an advancement stronghold on the front line of the war zone. ——A large number of troops are gathering at this stronghold, preparing to use this as a stepping stone to launch further operations in the Hongfeng area.
......
It wasn't until she saw several strange-looking steel chariots and a large number of fully armed human soldiers appearing in front that Maggie was finally sure that she had survived.
That is Cecil's army - an army that can fight all the way from the edge of the contaminated zone to the hinterland.
The engine of the steel chariot roared, the magic cannon emitted a piercing scream, and the obelisk-shaped warhead accelerated by the orbit fell into the enemy formation, ending those sad and twisted lives with an explosion, and again There were soldiers wearing metal armor carrying heavy combat backpacks and holding flamethrowers and marching alongside the chariots. Flames billowed everywhere they passed and everything burned.
The breath of iron and fire filled the battlefield, and this power of civilization, which was more barbaric than barbaric, completely shocked Maggie's mind.
Deafening explosions sounded in all directions, and the earth trembled slightly under the explosion. Maggie struggled to get rid of a crystal giant that was trying to grab her tail, and then watched the monster being killed in the air. More than a dozen beams of light were cut into pieces, and the deadly magic effects were splashed everywhere like cheap ballistae bullets, shooting at all standing targets that were not friendly forces. Under the huge earthquakes, Maggie even I couldn't help but shrink my neck, feeling an inexplicable feeling of fear -
What kind of power did the founding Duke who came back from the dead create in his country?
She followed the safe route covered by artillery fire, her strong dragon claws running on the ground in a rather embarrassed manner. From the corner of her eye, she saw a car with a steel holy emblem hanging on the surface of the carriage and a A large vehicle stamped with many blessing sentences and sacred symbols rushed up the ramp. The weapons on the roof were fired frequently, sweeping the battlefield with blazing white light. Then the metal door on the side of the chariot opened, and several figures wearing thick white armor appeared. Extraordinarily tall and brave warriors rushed out from inside. They were holding heavy war hammers. Their helmets and shoulder armors were covered with scriptures. The scripture cloths on their chests were fluttering in the wind. They rushed to the battlefield and used their war hammers to crush the nearest enemy. The crystal cluster giant roared loudly: "Perform the purification of the holy light!”
Then, these berserker warriors picked up some kind of incendiary device hanging behind them and began to fire in all directions.
Finally, the battlefield returned to calm.
The gryphon knights and giant eagles were hovering high in the sky, continuing to monitor the surrounding situation. A soldier who looked like a commander came to Maggie with several soldiers. The commander looked at what was in front of him with curiosity and caution. Black Dragon glanced at it and asked aloud: "How is the situation? Can you understand human language? "
Maggie endured the throbbing pain of the wound and made a deep, almost growling voice from her throat: "Yes. "
"Okay -" the officer nodded, and then noticed Maggie's numerous bleeding wounds, so he immediately turned around and waved, "We need a priest here - she was seriously injured! ”
Although Maggie’s voice was deep in dragon form, the officer still heard the feminine characteristics in her voice.
Maggie wanted to say that her injuries were not a problem, With the dragon's physique, she could resist until she reached the evacuation point, but she soon forgot to speak in shock, because she saw those heavy-armored warriors who were braver than the berserkers walking towards her, and the leader He also took off a metal-covered prayer book from his waist, as if he was about to release the Holy Light...
So...these people are Cecil's priests?
< p>At this moment, Maggie suddenly understood why the original Holy Light Church in the South was driven out......
The rescue operation went very smoothly, and when Gawain arrived Soon after advancing to the stronghold, news of the successful mission was sent to him.
In the mission briefing, the commander praised the role played by the White Knight team on the battlefield-they bravely eliminated the enemy. Moreover, they also provided effective treatment to the aid target. Although there was only one team member, they played a role that could not be replaced by a large group of soldiers, which was quite worthy of commendation.
This made Gawain quite relieved and determined. My own opinion: As a priest, he is really good at rescuing the wounded...
Before the evening of that day, the black dragon of unknown origin, but seemingly related to the Duke of the North, arrived at the advancement base.
Due to the effective treatment, she walked into the camp by herself
Gawain specially set aside a large area in the camp to accommodate this visitor, because he remembered that the dragon family was. A giant creature with a length of several tens of meters (Melita Pernia data), but when the black dragon appeared in the camp, Gawain realized that the situation was different from what he expected.
< p>It was an extremely thin dragon, with a wingspan of only a dozen meters or so, and a body size that was only one-third to one-half the size of an adult dragon, and its wings were particularly twisted and short, as if they were not fully developed.Although Gawain had only seen Melita Pernia's dragon form from a distance before, and could only visually measure the length of the adult dragon, he was sure that the standard adult dragon It's definitely much bigger than the black dragon in front of you.
Is this a baby dragon?
With such doubts, he calmly faced the black dragon who was walking into the center of the camp. The latter hardly paid much attention to the strange prefabricated barracks and rotating magic monitoring devices around him. Not paying attention to the nearby soldiers and officers who stopped to look at him, she came to Gawain, and the face that was very different from human beings... actually showed clearly identifiable anxiety.
Before she could reach her, she spoke quickly: "Dear Duke, Boulder City needs your support! Victoria..."
"Don't worry, I have already We have received news that the main force has begun to move to the north," Gawain interrupted the black dragon. He noticed that his words obviously made the dragon in front of him breathe slower, which made him particularly curious, "Who are you and you? What is the relationship between Victoria Wilder?"
The black dragon was silent for a moment, and then clearly said something that surprised Gawain: "I am Maggie, you have seen her before."
p>"Maggie?" Gawain was stunned. After a few seconds, he finally searched the pronunciation from his memory and remembered that it seemed to be the name of the black-haired maid next to Victoria - a very special name. A distinctive, not Ansu-style name.
"That's it...a giant dragon..." Gawain laughed and nodded slightly, "Have the Wilder family actually established contact with you..."
"I He is loyal to Victoria with his own will," Black Dragon said immediately, and was a little curious, "You... didn't seem surprised when you faced the dragon clan?"
"I have dealt with dragons," Gawain said casually, and then asked, "But the dragons I have seen seem different from yours. I would like to ask, if you feel offended or taboo, you don't need to answer - are you a young dragon?"
He remembered that the human form of this black-haired maid was very mature, so he was particularly curious about her dragon form. Moreover, this was a good opportunity to learn about the dragon clan. The other party wanted something from him at the moment, so he probably wouldn’t. I would fall out with myself because of this simple question.
He noticed that Maggie hesitated for a moment in front of this question. There might be tension and annoyance hidden in that hesitation. It seemed that this simple question had touched an area that she was unwilling to answer. But she still spoke, her tone a little hesitant: "This is...disease..."
"Okay, I understand," Gawain vaguely guessed what the situation was, and immediately interrupted, "I'm sorry. , Madam, it was my question that offended her."
Then he looked at Maggie's current form and changed the topic: "Madam, can you change into a human form? This way we can communicate. It can be more convenient."
The black dragon lowered his neck slightly: "Okay - please step back a little."
Several commanders, including Gawain, ran out to see. The lively Amber and others immediately retreated, and the black dragon in the center of the open space moved its wings and tail, accompanied by a powerful wave of magic power.With the sudden appearance of the cyclone, the black dragon's whole body was shrouded in a layer of light curtain that was constantly creeping——
Looking at the continuous shrinking and changing of the light curtain, Gawain couldn't help but think of a sentence: Most of the people in the world. Transformation spells all originated from the dragon clan...
Maggie, with black hair and black eyes, wearing a maid's skirt and two long swords hanging from her waist, walked out of the light curtain.
In the crowd, Amber couldn't help but murmur to Philip: "Actually, I have never figured out where the clothes and belongings on their bodies are hidden after they transform... "
The young and straightforward knight was obviously not able to adapt to the rhythm of this intelligence chief, and was stunned for a moment: "...Why is your thinking so strange?"
"Thank you very much. Your assistance," Maggie in human form came to Gawain and bowed deeply, but then she couldn't help but ask, "When will your army..."
"The main force of my army We can arrive at the war zone in the evening, and we can launch an attack overnight, but before that, we must formulate an effective attack plan," Gawain interrupted the humanoid dragon and raised his hand to point to a command post not far away. "Please follow me, I want to know the situation in the north first."
Maggie followed Gawain and several Cecil officers into the headquarters. Here, she got her first glimpse What he saw was an extremely exquisite and detailed map hanging on the wooden wall of the barracks.
On that exquisite map, she saw huge wooden crossings marked with many tactical symbols, criss-crossing arrows, lines showing enemy positions and divisions of war zones, and one after another. Numbers and shorthand marks that even she couldn't understand.
Although she was only a maid in name, Maggie instantly realized what this map meant: it meant the Cecil people’s control of the battlefield, and it meant a kind of control that had never been achieved before. Way to go about war!
She even wanted to turn her head away at first, because the information presented on the map was too much, so much that it could influence the situation of the war, but she soon realized that Gao Wen took her to see this map.
Gawain spoke from the side: "Mark where Victoria is, where the enemy is, their approximate size, and the situation of the main defense line - if you know it."
Maggie nodded and walked forward, pointing to the location of Boulder City: "Victoria and the Mountain Corps are trapped in the castle area...
"The enemy has completely surrounded Boulder City. There is no gap, the number... is conservatively estimated at more than 50,000, and this number can be increased at any time, because they have a steady stream of troops that can be mobilized, and they will definitely increase their troops as long as the attack is frustrated...
"Here is Red Maple City, on the east bank of the Gorgon River, is the base camp of those monsters...
"When I passed by the sky, I saw that those monsters were detaching part of their troops to move south..."< /p>
Gao WenListening carefully to Maggie's information one by one, constantly summarizing them, while beside him, Philip and several staff members were also discussing quickly and in low voices, deducing possible attack routes.
"How long do you think Victoria can hold on?" Gawain suddenly asked.
Maggie said in a heavy tone: "They originally relied on the power of the blizzard barrier to hold on for three days. Later, Victoria took the initiative to withdraw from the blizzard and chose to face the enemy head-on, relying on the walls and soldiers of the castle area. They may only be able to hold on for two days... No, that's the Mountain Corps, they can definitely hold on for one more day! Even if there is no snowstorm, they can hold on for three days!"
Gao Wen was slightly disappointed! Sighed.
Rather than prolonging their lives for three days behind a safe barrier, did the northern soldiers choose to die generously after three days of fighting...
"I have already been delayed on the road for a day... ..." Maggie then added.
On the other side, Philip and his staff had already discussed something. One of the staff came to Gawain and whispered a few words in a low voice.
Gawain raised his head and looked at Maggie: "Madam, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Boulder City in two days."
The black-haired maid's eyes widened instantly, but after Before she showed a look of despair, Gawain had already continued:
"But we only need one day to reach the red maple - and then blow it up."
