Chapter 313 The dragon rides on the face!
There are many elements to victory in war.
But in Lan En's previous life, no matter how inexperienced a person was in war, he understood a saying: the right time is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people.
This sentence means "A favorable season and climate are not as good as a favorable terrain, and a favorable terrain is not as popular as winning the hearts of the people."
In other words, in war, compared with the weather, climate, and geographical advantages, the unity of soldiers is the most important factor.
But Lan is greedy and wants all three elements.
Under the flag of the Three Lions of Cintra, Cintra Advisor Mossak and Druid's "Skymaster" Fetov opened their arms together, holding their respective oak canes flat in front of their chests, full of vitality. Natural energy surrounds them.
Mossak is riding Black Wind, and under Fetov is a Skellig giant bear with a shoulder height of nearly two meters. Even during a rapid march, these two can make the druid on his back feel as if he is sitting on the ground, smooth and smooth. Cast a spell.
Along with their spells, the dark clouds quickly extended and covered the sky, completely blocking the things above the clouds, allowing Lann to control the two giant dragons to approach the enemy with great force but without noticing.
When the two giant dragons reached the top of Ortaga Fortress, and even took the initiative to roar, the Nilfgaardians suddenly realized.
...
Lann sat astride Saskia's neck, holding two bone spurs of medium thickness and medium feel in his hands, holding them steady while the Great Griffin cloak fluttered wantonly in the strong wind.
"We're going, Saskia."
"Ouch - roar -"
The dragon girl who transformed into a giant dragon groaned, lowered her head and rushed into the clouds. Steam clung to her and Lan's bodies, but fire burned in their chests.
The red dragon Kelturis, who was recalled by Lan from the edge of the Mahakam Mountains, could not hear Lan's voice, but when he saw it, he also cooperated with Lan and Saskia and lowered his body.
With a "Woo" sound, the thick clouds in the sky were broken through by the giant object from the inside out, suddenly expanded outwards, and then sank into two huge vortices under the action of the collapse force.
Two giant beasts appeared in front of everyone like natural disasters.
The Nilfgaardian raised his head and almost broke his neck.
What two giant beasts they are!
That was the figure of the continent’s overlord before the elves came!
The giant green dragon in the lead was shining with golden spots even under the clouds without sunshine. It looked like a century-old giant tree with wings and bone spurs floating in the air. Its body was graceful, but it hid the murderous intent of the ancient dense forest.
The red dragon, which was lagging slightly behind, did not hide its ferociousness. She was far larger than the green dragon, and her whole body was wrapped in smoke caused by the high temperature and cooling, as if there was magma flowing under the brick-red scales, just waiting for an opportunity to burst out with anger.
Who is the object of that murderous intention and that anger?
The two giant dragons fell rapidly in a graceful falling posture, like two shooting stars.
When the oppressive feeling of the giant thing occupied everything in sight, and the Nilfgaardians couldn't help but run away in fear of the sky falling, they suddenly opened their wings and let the huge wind resistance stabilize them. Body.
With a "hoo!", all the Black Sun flags in the fortress fluttered wildly under the strong wind.
Duke Witte's eyes suddenly widened. He actually saw a person sitting on top of the green dragon.
Silver and black armor, a large gryphon cloak, and golden hair.
That's the Lannister, the Lion of Cintra.
He saw the other person's lips opening and closing slightly.
...
"Dragon Flame." Lann ordered Saskia.
"Ouch!!"
The huge mouth that was enough to swallow the entire camp opened, and surging flames brewed briefly in it, and then -
"Boom!!"
The sky fire pressed down on the realm, and the raging flames swept everything, and the big black flag on the The sun turned into ashes in an instant.
"-Run away! Run away quickly--"
The Nilfgaardians only reacted at this time. In their panic, some people even rolled down the fortress wall more than ten meters high.
But more people were wrapped in waves of fire, turning into charcoal from the inside out before even making a sound.
Saskia and Kelturis each chose a side of the city wall, glided while spraying dragon flames, and rushed from the top of the wall to the end of the wall; every time they flapped their wings to adjust their bodies, the area covered by flames also responded as usual. There were "boom" and "boom" sounds of flame explosions.
Lann looked back and saw that there was not even a decent human figure to be found on the city wall where Kelturis had wreaked havoc. The flesh and blood, steel armor, and even the base rock under the city wall began to melt, turning into magma and flowing from it. dripping.
Worthy of being a red dragon!
Although the city wall that Saskia had wreaked havoc on was not as exaggerated as Kelturis, the poisonous smoke attached to the green dragon was more suitable for the battlefield than the red dragon.
I don’t know if Saskia’s father specially trained Saskia’s breath. At this moment, looking at the colorful smoke around the city wall, several neighboring companies outside the city wall began to have difficulty breathing and staggering.
"Good job, Saskia." Lan encouraged, "Let's continue!"
After hearing the encouragement, Saskia flapped her wings harder, and her huge body deftly drew a semicircular trajectory in mid-air to change direction. Once again, it rushed towards Otaga Fortress with the momentum of the ancient ferocious beast.
"Boom", "boom", "boom", continuous explosions sounded, and the remaining two walls of the fortress also turned into a sea of fire under the dragon's flames.
The Nilfgaardians completely lost all four walls of the fortress.
...
"Damn it! Damn it! This is the Cintra people's own fortress!"
Duke Werther jumped to his feet and shouted.
Soldiers have been learning how to kill their own kind for a long time. Even when encountering creatures such as griffins and fork-tailed dragons, they will be temporarily in a hurry, let alone these two moving bunkers in the sky.
Riding a dragon to the battlefield is something that has never happened before in the history of war, or even in human history.
"What kind of war are we fighting..."
But Duke Werther quickly calmed down. He is a court noble who has experienced the chaotic period of the usurper. Under certain circumstances, his psychological quality is even stronger than the officers around him.
[It’s just, it’s just a dragon”] He said to himself in his heart.
Dragons can be killed, and the title of "dragon-slaying warrior" is rare but not unheard of. Duke Werther himself has issued several dragon-slaying missions, and many of the gems collected in his private treasure house have been used to decorate the dragon's lair.
He even held banquets for some dragon-slaying warriors and listened to them brag about their dragon-slaying experiences.
As if a bolt of lightning exploded in his mind, Duke Werther slapped the adjutant hard, causing the distracted adjutant to spin half a circle on the spot, forcing him to regain his senses.
"Blow the trumpet!" The commander of the Western Group grabbed the adjutant tightly and roared into his ear, "Let the infantry and spearmen go to the outside to stop the Cintra people, and all the archer regiments lined up to shoot towards the sky! "
Aim all the trebuchets and siege crossbows at the sky, just the two dragons!!"
...
Saskia suddenly adjusted her flying posture in the air, and the dragon's neck tilted slightly. Lan grabbed the bone spur to prevent his body from moving backwards, and shook his head so that the half-length blond hair disturbed by the wind would not block his sight.
"Oh? Did you react?"
Looking at the archers who had begun to gather and the various large-scale siege equipment in operation, Lan patted Saskia seriously.
"Be careful for a while, but the plan remains unchanged."
The Western Group Army does not have Warlock troops, but they have been semi-transformed into a logistics group and they definitely do not lack resources. This is far inferior to the Eastern Group Army, which is marching urgently to cross the Yaruga River. .
But this was also within Lan's expectation.
The Nilfgaardians' military discipline is definitely the best on the continent, and they are actually able to give orders to the entire team under the pressure of the two giant dragons in the sky.
"Gala la -" The archer's hands trembled, but he still firmly drew the bow string and raised the angle to face the flesh and blood fortress in the sky.
The commander raised the flag in his hand high and took a deep breath to prevent his throat from shaking to the point of losing his voice.
With a "crash", the giant dragon swooped towards the fortress again, its wings making the air thicker as if flapping the water.
"Let go!!" The commander waved his right hand fiercely.
The rain of arrows turned towards the sky.
...
under the flag of the Three Lions of Sintra.
Horse hooves fluttered.
Mossak and Fetov looked at Lann and the two giant dragons that were wreaking havoc on the city wall in the distance.
"It's really spectacular." Fetov sighed sincerely, "You are so lucky, Mossak."
Mossak stroked his beard and laughed: "Okay, okay, Lann and the others have already started taking action. ."
"Then we have to keep up!"
The expressions of the two mentor-level druids suddenly became serious, and the more rapid and frustrated spells continued like waves.
"Wind!"
...
"Hula".
The already gloomy sky changed again.
The turbulent flow of natural energy muddied the air, and the disordered air pressure collided everywhere, naturally bringing about - strong winds.
All the flags changed direction in an instant, and the blazing flames jumped up again. The soft eyes of the archers couldn't bear the impact and closed one after another.
The arrows that were originally flying fiercely in mid-air were immediately disrupted by the wind.
Saskia flapped her wings, and the metal arrow jingled on the thick dragon scales, which was really nice.
Hard to break into even the smallest detail.
The first wave of long-range attacks was easily defended, but this was far from the time to relax.
The druid's weather magic could only block arrows and was equivalent to clearing the field, but Lann's attention was focused on the real big guys from beginning to end.
"Gala la -" The giant siege crossbow, which required four people to work together to turn two winches to change its direction, was aimed at Saskia, and the arrows, which were as thick as an adult's arm, shone with a cold light.
This is a weapon that can truly pose a threat to giant dragons and even kill them!
"Woo——"
It was like the sound of the air being drilled out.
More than a dozen giant crossbows were speeding towards Saskia in the air at the same time.
The giant dragon flapped its wings suddenly, and dexterously changed its direction in mid-air, dodging most of them.
However, the huge body is always inconvenient based on attack power, and the densely packed giant crossbows can always hit the good luck.
Duke Werther could not take his eyes away. The most troublesome thing about the dragons was their wings. And just one arrow can definitely make the dragon lose its ability to fly!
What's more, there's a Lannister standing on top of that green dragon!
After landing, you can use other siege equipment - even nets and knives to kill dragons and lions with their numbers!
Duke Werther clenched his fists.
However, in the Duke's expectant eyes, he saw that the only arrow in this wave of crossbows that followed the dragon's figure was about to make a contribution.
The Lannister on the dragon's head suddenly disappeared.
With a flash of golden light, Lan appeared in mid-air with his hands raised above his head. The powerful core strength of his waist and abdomen made him temporarily suspended in the air, and his physical strength, adrenaline toxins, and magic power converged on his hands.
The Lake Lady's Sword bursts into light.
[Outbreak of anger]!
Also known as the New Year Sword Technique!
With a "boom", the dazzling golden light shattered the crossbow arrow into pieces. The huge impact turned the metal fragments and wood chips into sharp arrows, which hit Lann's body like ripples and made waves as thick as the earth. yellow waves.
[Quen's Seal·Explosion Shield]
There was another "bang", the seal exploded, and the second impact came. An invisible big hand pulled Lan out of the sputtering range of the debris that was comparable to a [honeycomb] bomb.
Even Lan En's hands were trembling slightly at this moment, and gurgling blood fell in mid-air from the mouth of his sword-holding hands.
It was a siege crossbow after all, and he actually struck it with his sword.
No matter how strong his waist and abdomen were, he could no longer control his body in this situation. Lann's body was rolling disorderly in the air like a sack.
But this didn't bother him at all.
"Whoosh", he disappeared again in the golden light.
【flash】!
The next second, Lann hit the ground, turned into a rolling gourd and spun away all the way, until he hit something hard and finally stopped with a shocking muffled sound.
When he raised his head, he was facing a siege crossbow without an arrow.
Although he couldn't control his body in the air, the time slowdown after activating the skill allowed Lan to barely discern his direction.
For him, the priority now is to destroy these large equipment and create an environment for the dragon to run wild unscrupulously.
It's just that Lan now looks with some distress at the crossbowmen who are still staring at the sky with their mouths open.
Why don't you guys come and chop me down so that I can activate [Active Shield] and use my skills to restore health? I can't even hold the sword with both hands now...
Forget it.
Lan En sighed secretly in his heart and just got on with it.
...
Duke Werther almost burst his eyes out on the battlements.
He couldn't believe his eyes.
As knowledgeable as he is, even when faced with a giant dragon, he can quickly regain his sense and command the army to counterattack.
But this time I was truly lost.
What did he see?
one person! Use a sword! Split the arrows fired from the siege crossbow!
Shouldn't this all work the other way around? !
Then the next second, the Lannister, who flashed from the dragon's head to shattering the crossbow in mid-air, disappeared in the flash again.
Where did he go?
Before Duke Werther could look for it, the movement on the battlements not far away answered his doubts.
[Alder Sign·Alder Sweep·Bearing]!
"Boom", this was the first explosion today.
The siege crossbow and the soldiers' bodies were torn into pieces by the strong wind after freezing, and a solid layer of ice spread on the ground.
Then, Lann slapped the ground, and a dozen emerald-colored bright spots emerged from his side.
[Teleport]
Among them appeared fully-armed warriors, the roaring Skellige bear, and the ferocious-looking demon hunters who had already taken the potion.
and two sorceresses whose attire is incompatible with the current environment. One has red hair as passionate as flames, and the other has eyes like violets.
Triss and Yennefer.
They had been prepared for a long time. They looked at each other as soon as they landed, chanted a spell together, and communicated with the natural energy.
A portal with a scale far beyond normal appeared.
Then a group of warriors possessed by fine armor came out of the portal.
This is the Sintra Urban Guerrilla!
The guerrillas are constantly coming out of the portal, and they are about to implement the second phase of the plan.
Lan took a deep breath, propped up an earth-like thick earth-yellow protective shield, and said to the demon hunters who had just appeared.
[Quen's Seal·Active Shield]
"Come on, kill me first!"
