Chapter 134: Prologue to the Battle of Lothern
"Old guy, did you miss me?"
There was a simple stainless steel dragon saddle on the back of the legendary Glory Star Dragon, and the person sitting on it was obviously Imric.
"If you knew the stakes, you wouldn't be stupid enough to go to Avalon alone." Minasnir spoke through telepathy. As a partner of the foul-mouthed prince, it was also affected, but it did not dwell on this issue. , continued, "What did the old dragon tamer say to you?"
"The ancestors are proud of me." As he spoke, Imrik had already puffed up his chest, obviously very happy.
Ignoring Imric, Minasnir fell into deep thought. When the old dragon tamer returned to the Dragonspine Mountains and planned to summon dragons to rescue Imrik, he suddenly appeared and stopped him, saying that he was There was a great game being played with Ulthuan as the board, and if anyone else intervened in Avalon, someone who made the rules would put something on Caledor that should not be there.
And according to the short-lived prophecy he obtained in his sleep, nothing would happen to Imrik, the bastard, so he accepted the request of another bastard Randy and went to Tyron Locke.
Glancing at the young man who was dancing on the dragon's saddle, Lao Mi thought to himself that he was still too young and didn't know what stability meant. No matter what, he couldn't be allowed to run out alone in the future.
"You have time to be happy, so why not pay attention to the situation on the ground? Your little queen seems a little unhappy." Minas Nil reminded him.
Imric glanced around. Thirty dragons were flying in the sky. Two days ago, he used dragon horns to awaken several dragons who were dreaming. The number of Caledor dragons now has been hundreds of years. When it comes the most.
Below, the mighty Caledonians were marching, including two dragon mages, twenty-three high-ranking dragon princes, seventy flame mages, one hundred and twenty despair burners, eight hundred dragon princes, and one dragon prince. Fourteen hundred Sunhorn Cavalry, two thousand Dragon Halberd Guards, and two thousand five hundred Pathunuin Claws.
As well as a large number of professional spearmen and archers, hundreds of Dragon Claw ballistae, forty priests of Vaal and Ardaeus who accompanied them, and four hundred mountain rangers drawn from the Dragon Back Mountains, a total of more than thirty thousand people. Man, it can be said that this time Caledo has used his wealth to defeat Malekith.
The fire dragon flag of the dragon lord's expedition is being held by the leader of the dragon prince. Dozens of flags in various dragon styles are standing in the army. The steel army composed of red, green and silver is marching towards Lothern. The level of luxury of personal equipment would make dwarves cry when they see it.
What was a bit unexpected was that a person was surrounded by the Dragon Prince. To be precise, it was a female elf.
Although Imrik strongly opposed Alarielle entering the battlefield together, she believed that it was the duty of the Eternal Queen to save the lives of every elf and make some contribution to Ulthuan.
Originally, she wanted to ride Minasnir with Imric, but the Dragon Prince thought at that time that Minas Nir was our exclusive mount and could not be used, so he let her ride the horse under the protection of the Dragon Prince. .
"I don't mind being a burden, as long as you can add a new member to the tribe in the near future." Minasnir said smoothly. As a mature dragon, it has already seen that the relationship between the two is very close, but there are too many people. Sorry to show it in public.
As a giant dragon, it doesn't care about Alarielle's identity. How many divisions can the Phoenix King have? As long as Imrik completes the Rite of the Dragon Lord and retrieves the legendary Dragon Horn, he will be the greatest Dragon Prince of Caledor.
As he spoke, Minas Nil began to slide downwards and came to the position of the Dragon Prince.
Seeing the legendary Shining Star Dragon flying down, the Dragon Princes also began to stop. If they wanted to do well in Caledor, Minas Nir's attitude was as important as Imric's.
The Glory Star Dragon stretched out his arm to grab Alarielle, then handed it to Imrik on his back, turned around and continued flying upward. .........
With the blessing of Bruni's spiritual aura, the Caledorian army marched quickly from Tal Kaled, resting for a long time at the Caledor Rest House along the way.
It only took four days to arrive at the Strait of Lothern. During this period, almost everyone knew about the relationship between the Dragon Prince and the Eternal Queen. Although this was a bit untraditional, it reminded them of something - the Caledor Phoenix. king.
When this thought appeared, almost no one had any doubts about this matter. It had been nearly three thousand years since the last Caledonian was crowned Phoenix King, and they longed for this honor to return to them.
At the high command, Imrik was doing the final tactical maneuvers. The three black arks must be sunk, otherwise the blockade of Lothern cannot be lifted, and Caledor's army cannot cross the Strait of Lothern. .
"The Wrath of Vaal and the Holy Fire of Ardaeus have arrived at the scheduled location." A young Asur walked into the camp. He was Elvis, the nephew of Edtelis, who was sent to the Dragon Palace as a post two years ago. Attendant, now serving as the Dragon Prince's herald.
Nodding, Imrik said to the person next to him, "This operation will determine the fate of Ulthuan in the future. I hope you can cooperate with me." "
In the name of Caledor."
With the arrival of dawn, The Dragon Prince picked up the Star Lance and jumped on the back of Minas Nil. This operation will use two battleships and dragon troops as the main force to attack the Black Ark. The difficulty lies in how to deal with the long-range firepower of the Ark. This It requires the support of battleships.
.........
The Wrath of Val, a newly commissioned naval warship two years ago. Although this ship is somewhat heretical, as the captain Gracie does not care. He is one of the few people in Caledor with naval combat experience. In his early years, he Cosqui's service in the "Pirates" unit may not sound glorious, but it can still be considered as having naval command experience.
This ship made of miniature islands has a total length of 500 meters and a width of 70 meters. After continuous testing, it is a more suitable size. In addition to the high tower for the accompanying dragon to stay, it is completely filled with new types of dragons. Claw ballistae, and four ship-based versions of giant ballistae.
The arrows of this ship-borne ballistae are five meters long. The arrows are made of high-density meteorite iron. With armor-piercing enchantment, they can penetrate a two-meter-thick steel plate within a range of two thousand meters.
In the previous battle to support Tyron Locke, he had already sunk two black arks with the Ardaeus Holy Fire. The only disadvantage of this kind of ballistae is that it is expensive, but as the captain Gracie does not care, after all, it is paid for by the prince. Belonging to the Dragon Court Navy, he just needs to complete the mission.
After the dragon began to hover in the sky, Gracie knew that the war was about to begin, and began to order the sailors, roaring loudly, "You brats, let me shoot the crossbows accurately. If any Druchi wants to join the gang, Then kill them, the prince is watching us."
His mission is to fight with the Ardaeus Holy Fire to cover the dragon's landing, focusing on attacking the ballistas and magic towers on both sides of the Black Ark, as well as those who assist the Black Ark. ship.
As he moved forward at full speed, he had already seen the three black arks and dozens of warships of various types. Even though they were far apart, he still felt that those Druchi had built a black movable wall in the ocean.
Gracie began to turn the rudder, pointing the side of the Wrath of Vaal towards the Black Ark. This ship carrying the wrath of the patron god of Caledor would surely surprise its evil cousins.
