Chapter 72: respite

"Huh!" The fire blew across the earth, making the soil hard and hot. When a dragon passes by from low altitude, all living things seem to be turned into coke. When faced with ancient and powerful creatures, human beings are small and helpless from beginning to end.

The few remaining soldiers of Ailan Hill still held up their weapons and shot at their heads. They had struggled from the initial chaos and despair, because they had seen too many deaths.

They kept pouring out their ammunition, as if only in this way could they vent their inner fears. The soldiers of the Arrant Empire who were getting closer and closer to them had stopped because there was already a flame rising and burning in front of them.

"Unbearable!" The dragon that urged his hips to dive again, the dragon knight on the dragon's back pulled the reins of the dragon, and dismissed the ants under his feet. After all, mortals are just mortals, and no matter how powerful mortals are, they can't compete with the will of the Holy Demon Empire. This is the truth of God, there is no doubt about it.

"Ding! Whoosh...!" A bullet rushed up from the gap in the flapped wings of the dragon, and flew over his face while wiping his breastplate, only to hit his nose just a little bit.

The dragon knight didn't know that something nearly killed him just now, so he subconsciously touched his nose, and then lowered his head again to see the ants with fewer than a hundred people left.

The ants are still those, but when he lowers his head this time, he no longer has that kind of contemptuous mocking expression, because sweat has been oozing from the tip of his nose unknowingly. Those bastards... how did they do it?

In his mind, there was a question for the first time: how did those panicked and stupid mortals at his feet nearly wound the dragon knight wearing the sacred armor?

The armor on his body is not ordinary armor, which allows him to defend against bow and arrow blows at a distance of tens of meters. Ordinary mortals will not cause damage to this armor.

However, at this moment, he saw the pattern on the armor, which was distorted and deformed by the impact of the bullet, leaving the long black scratches in the past. When facing the troops of tens of thousands of mortals, he was You may not see this degree of damage to the armor on your body.

"Damn it!" He felt the anxiety and annoyance passed to him by the dragon under his crotch, something that had never happened before in wars in the past. If possible, he really wanted to land and take a closer look at the mortals to see what gave them such power.

"Destroy! These **** mortals must be completely destroyed!" Pulling the reins, gave a signal to let the dragon dive and continue to attack, the dragon knight put away the doubts in his heart, and attacked again.

But this time he dived, let him see a scene of fear. A giant dragon of a comrade-in-arms did not pull up after diving into the fire, but after crossing two mounds, one head hit the ground.

The dragon's strong and huge body left a long gully on the ground, and the huge wings were twisted and broken, which seemed very painful. Because the force was too great, the impact lifted up the soil, just as spectacular as a meteorite landing.

As the dragon hit the ground, the battle seemed to have ended in an unsatisfactory way. I could no longer hear Ailan Hill's gunshots on the ground, no more cries or uncomfortable screams. This battle is over, as before, with the victory of the Holy Demon Empire drawn to an end.

However, the dragon knight hovering in the sky couldn't laugh. He had never seen such a powerful 500 mortals, and he had never seen such a weird battle process.

"Huh!" The huge fleshy wings flapped in the sky, and several flying dragon knights all landed beside the fallen dragon. The dragon knights turned over and got down their dragons, pressing their long swords and walking anxiously to the dragon that was still panting.

"Roar..." The giant beast lying on the ground seemed to want to express something, but the sound from its savage mouth full of fangs was not a bit domineering, only a sound similar to wailing remained.

The captain in charge of commanding this dragon knight team stretched out his hand and pressed it on the body of the giant dragon that was still panting desperately, as if he wanted to comfort the huge reptile that was badly hurt.

Then, he saw the abdomen of this giant dragon, there were many scales that had been broken, and under the broken scales, blood stains of the dragon could be vaguely seen. The weapons in the hands of those mortals actually shattered the scales of the dragon...

"Shrek! Shrek!" The two dragon knights found the dragon knight lying on the ground on the other side of the dragon's body. This dragon knight also seemed to be injured. His armor was a bit twisted, and there was blood on his face. I don't know if it was caused by the crash just now or during the battle.

"Captain... he passed out, there is nothing serious about his life, but..." Looking at the person beside him, the mood of several dragon knights seemed to be extremely bad. They hadn't lost the Dragon Knight in the previous battles, but they had suffered casualties in the face of so few enemies. This was the first time it happened in a hundred years.

"Damn it." The man holding his helmet, as the captain, seemed to want to vent, but couldn't find anyone to vent. After searching for a circle, he could only stomped his feet and vented his dissatisfaction.

Another giant dragon descended from the sky, and Eldo was riding on the dragon's back, looking blankly at the giant dragon struggling on the ground but unable to get up, and the armoured hand holding the reins clenched a little bit tightly.

Ailan Hill... it seems that it is not as simple as a lesson. This empire has seriously threatened the dignity of the Holy Demon Empire, and this mortal country should not continue to exist!

This time, even if there are some losses, this **** mortal country must be wiped out! Their technology, their civilization, their lives, everything they don't care about, must be obliterated!

"Okay! Don't worry! We have to re-draw the strategy! The other party seems to be a trouble!" Without getting off the dragon, Eldo comforted his men.

"The next battle will inevitably take some risks. We will lose some comrades in arms, but the Holy Demon Empire is bound to win!" He clenched his fist and said bitterly.

At this moment, what he was thinking about was something else: Just now, in front of so many soldiers of the Arante Empire, they lost a dragon knight. If all the soldiers of the Arrant Empire were to go down on this road, then the authoritative imagination of the Holy Demon Empire on this road would be difficult to keep.

These soldiers of the Arrant Empire will spread an idea to every corner of the world: humans can defeat the dragon knights of the Holy Demon Empire, at least the army of Ailan Hill has created such a miracle.

Such a huge blow to the prestige, the Holy Demon Empire couldn't bear it. So the best way is to get rid of those people from the Arante Empire, act alone, and slaughter all those who love them! Then, by disguising the slaughter and killing mouth as a vent of anger, everything came together again.

Moreover, if you directly attack the city, you can use the advantage of dragons to fly to cross the outer defense line of Ailan Hill, and you can also reduce losses as much as possible. Following Arante's ground forces advancing all the way, God knows how many such Ailan Hill forces will be encountered along the way, and it may be a joke if it is not possible to lose all the way by then.

Besides, mortals generally choose places far away from cities to fight against giant dragons. The fear is that the dragon attacking the city will cause irreparable losses, so if you directly attack the city, the opponent's defense is likely to be very empty and can get miraculous effects.

Thinking about going so much, Ildo quickly drew up a feasible tactical plan: he was ready to leave the Arrant Empire army, lead his dragon knight troops to make a rapid advance, and first arrived in Maricha and launched an assault there.

Even if Maricha is destroyed at any cost, the prestige of the Holy Demon Empire must be re-established, so that the mortal kingdoms, including the Arante Empire, will take a good look and disobey the fate of the Holy Demon Empire!

At the other end of the battlefield, General Zorn, who was riding on his horse, even started to stammer. He looked at the royal relatives and relatives beside him, Arante Rumbach, and asked tremblingly: "Just now...I ,I saw……"

"Yes, I, I also saw, I saw..." Renbuck's state is not much better than Zorn. Even if he saw a giant dragon sweeping an infantry phalanx, he wouldn't be so panicked, because at least it was still in his common sense.

But now, everything he saw did not seem to fall within the scope of his understanding. In his heart, there seemed to be a place to shatter, and there was a fundamental shake.

"That one, that one... dragon, falling... fell?" After a long while, Zon suppressed his emotions and continued to ask in a trembling tone.

"Falling...500 people completed the dragon slaying... my god." Lumbark recalled what he had just seen, and found a more deadly problem: "They were before the dragon slaying, yes, Is it in a state of being at war with us all the time?"

"..." Zorn wanted to curse, he just saw a troop, first slaughtered about 5,000 elite soldiers from Arante, and then killed a dragon knight before the entire troop was wiped out...

"I%@#￥*!" Unable to help, Lumbark first scolded the **** Zon wanted to say. After he finished cursing, he breathed loudly, as if something had strangled his throat just now.

Seeing his appearance, Zorn remembered that he had been holding his breath for a while...So he opened his mouth too, cursed unscrupulously, and then gasped.
