Chapter 95 The Power of the Golden Dragon
"Damn, we're finally here. Those damn sorceresses and damn mages actually want to leave us to eat alone." After crossing the
temporary wooden bridge built with tree trunks, the three predator brothers were all sweating. The ground cursed loudly.
More than an hour ago, when the stone bridge built by the trolls was collapsed by Knight Ike, the sorceress directly used magic to open a short-distance teleportation gate, taking Geralt and Dandry with her while they were not paying attention. Well, we arrived on the other side of the bridge in an instant.
A few minutes later, the magician Dorregaray also used short-distance floating magic and also sneaked to the opposite side. Only the Yalpan dwarf team, the three marauder brothers, and the Holopor reconnaissance team and other ordinary people were left. The people stayed on this side of the broken bridge, watching them leave helplessly, anxious but unable to do anything.
Fortunately, the ax on the dwarf could be used as a felling ax, and the marauder brothers always had ropes for binding. With the help of the strong boys of the reconnaissance team, they spent several hours and successfully used the felled trees to build We built a temporary wooden bridge and crossed the broken bridge.
In order to race against time, everyone tried their best, sweating profusely and as tired as a dog.
Yarpen wiped the sweat from his beard and cursed Yennefer's ruthlessness in his heart. There was an agreement between the sorceress and the dwarf.
Their original agreement was to use the news about the dragon's nest treasure to sell the gems that the rich dwarves had hoarded in the past as dragon's nest treasures. They would use this gimmick to make more money with the dwarves' trade network throughout the north. Many benefits.
Unexpectedly, when things came to pass, the sorceress actually abandoned them, which made Yalpan very angry.
Kozoyed and his reconnaissance team were the last to cross the temporary wooden bridge. The forty-year-old shoemaker put his hands on his knees and took a few deep breaths. Then he took out the old rag from his waist and wiped it. Wiping the sweat on his forehead, he said worriedly:
"We have to hurry up. It took us three hours to build the wooden bridge. Maybe those two despicable warlocks have killed the green dragon and held the giant dragon." The treasure escaped.”
"That's our money, we can't let them run away."
As a shoemaker, after living in poverty for decades, he finally caught an opportunity that could change his destiny. Kozoyed would never give up the legend no matter what. Dragon treasure in .
Hearing this, Yarpan and the Marauder brothers looked at the shoemaker with disdain and thought, what is our money? How much we will give you will depend on our mood.
However, after everyone rested for a few minutes, they climbed over the long hillside non-stop. When they saw the place where Ike and the Golden Dragon had dueled, they were all stunned by the scene in front of them.
Because it was different from everything they expected.
A terrifying giant beast that was more than ten meters tall and covered with shiny golden scales was sitting on the ground in a leisurely manner, stirring the flowers and plants on the ground rather boredly, as if waiting for something.
With a cat-like temperament that is both elegant and ferocious, and a shining and gorgeous appearance, just the moment you see the golden dragon, you can understand that this is a powerful legendary creature.
The more sharp-eyed predators also discovered that the magician Dorrega Ray, Geralt, and Dandelion, to be precise, the demon hunter and the poet classmate, were using a simple stretcher made of tree branches and cloth. Lift an injured person off the ground.
The magician Dorrega Lei seemed to be drawing a picture of the beautiful and terrifying beast using some paper and pen he got from nowhere.
The three predator brothers first felt frustrated and thought that their plan to get rich might have failed.
But soon they thought that what appeared in front of them was the unique golden dragon in the world, the legendary golden dragon.
If this golden dragon could be killed, even if it was just to peel off the glittering dragon skin and the beautiful and ferocious dragon head, there would definitely be nobles or wealthy businessmen who would be very happy with their success and would be willing to spend a lot of money to buy them.
He looked back at the dwarf Yarpan and the shoemaker Kozoyed, and saw that the two people's eyes were also flickering, wondering whether they thought of going together with him.
Just when a few people were harboring ulterior motives, they were planning to use their previous dragon-hunting skills to try on this golden dragon.
A voice like a bronze trumpet sounded in their hearts.
"Despicable dragon hunters, the person standing in front of you is the golden dragon Velentretames, the husband of the green dragon who was hurt by you." "The reason why
I appear here is to give you two Choice."
"The first option is to run away from here with your tail between your legs and leave forever. I will not hunt down those fleeing rats." "The second
option is to have a duel with me in an upright manner. I allow you to A group of five people, and I will not use magic to have a battle between men." "
Of course, if you choose neither of them, then I will no longer care about honor and chivalry, but I'm going to use magic to kill you." The people on the hillside were still planning how to slay the dragon, but they were startled by the voice that was hundreds of meters away and directly transmitted to their brains.
While shocked and frightened, they also realized that the golden dragon they faced now was a super monster with intelligence and the ability to use magic. It was not comparable to the green dragon they had imagined before.
It stands to reason that when encountering such an unexpected situation, a cautious hunter would choose to retreat temporarily rather than risk an attack.
But both the Clinefield Predators and the Kozoyed reconnaissance team have been blinded by greed, and they are still thinking about how to use conspiracies and tricks to kill this priceless dragon.
Only the dwarf Yarpan, who has a long lifespan and has extensive knowledge, knows how powerful the legendary dragons who can use magic are, and it is not something that just a few of them can handle.
However, he did not remind the looters and shoemakers. After all, legends are just legends. If someone can try it out, that would be a good choice.
A few minutes later, I don't know what the group of them discussed, but the dwarf Yarpan and several of his bearded dwarf men still stayed on the top of the hillside and did not come down.
The three brothers of the Marauder and Kozoyed's reconnaissance team, a total of more than a dozen people, had already spread out their formations with weapons in hand, and were approaching Borch in the open space to outflank him.
Some of them held axes, daggers or spears, and some held warhammers and bows. However, the three leading marauder brothers had three powerful dwarf crossbows in their hands, which were originally Yarpan's. A weapon unique to the dwarf squad.
The golden dragon Bolqi saw all this in his eyes. Looking at the dozen or so humans charging towards him, he let out a long sigh that sounded like a sigh, an anger, and a feeling of lamentation for the opponent's stupidity.
"You are seeking your own death. My magic will defeat you."
When he was more than a hundred meters away from both sides, he waved his wings and soared into the sky, flying to a height of dozens of meters.
A murmuring dragon language chant slowly sounded out.
The chaotic magic power in the world began to condense. The three Marauder brothers and the old shoemaker who were charging felt that the air around them had become thicker, as if there were countless hands pulling them and dragging them into the quagmire.
And just when they felt something was wrong and felt extremely regretful, Borch's magic was officially completed.
In a loud sound like the earth was shattering, the ground they were on seemed to be pulled hard by an invisible giant. The ground began to vibrate and twist, and a slender crack in the ground began to extend. Within a few seconds, a huge crack opened.
Most of the charging dragon hunters were directly swallowed into the cracks in the ground.
Borch, who was in the air, still did not stop attacking. He deftly avoided the dwarf crossbows fired at him by the predators. His body was close to the ground and began to dive at high speed. After approaching the few survivors, he immediately opened his weapon and started to smoke. Big mouth.
In an instant, surging orange dragon flames spurted out from the golden dragon's mouth, carrying extremely fierce heat and directly engulfing several people on the ground.
Skin, hair, clothing, including flowers and plants on the ground, everything started to burn.
The shrill wail resounded throughout the plain, and in just ten seconds, all the humans wrapped in flames were burned to charcoal.
The battle ended too quickly, the golden dragon's magic power was too great.
Outside the clearing, Geralt looked solemn, Dandelion was dumbfounded, and Dorregaray was holding a paintbrush, excitedly trying to record all this in his painting.
In the direction of the green dragon's lair, Wayne was riding on the green dragon Milgata Blake. One person and one dragon were flying high in the sky, watching everything here from a distance, with quite complicated emotions.
These people really don't know how to live and die, and they dare to provoke a dragon magician who can fly in the sky. They don't even think about how they can defeat the giant flying in the sky with their two short legs running around on the ground. dragon.
But soon, Wayne's attention was attracted by something else. In the forest not far from the clearing, more than a hundred Holopole adventurers and militiamen were driving chariots handed down from ancient times. Slowly move towards the direction of the golden dragon.
