Chapter 22 Chimera and Hydra
The manticore flying towards the city wall noticed the tiny creature roaring towards it. The manticore, which was originally attracted by the archer, immediately changed its target. Under the protection of the evil moon, it ignored Drop the arrows that hit it and head straight for Masno.
The huge lion head hit Masno's shield with an incomparable impact. For a moment, he felt that his left hand had lost consciousness. Even though the Storm Guild gave him strong protection, this monster was worthy of its reputation in various legends. The vicious image is still hard to resist.
Knowing that such a brute force competition would not be an opponent, elves have never been good at strength. This giant beast, the manticore, would be dwarfed even by dwarves who are good at strength and toughness.
Stepping sideways and no longer wrestling with the manticore, Masino picked up his long sword and stabbed the monster in the eye first. The attack was effective. The monster was blinded in one eye, but this would undoubtedly only arouse its ferocity. sex, rather than fear.
The manticore raised its left arm and struck Masnow with great force. However, this attack did not have the same effect as usual against this thin creature. Instead, it was blocked by the shield.
Masno, who had regained his composure, spent a lot of time dealing with the manticore with the help of the Storm Guild. As long as this monster is killed, this monster wave should be over.
He ordered others not to get close. This time he planned to kill this crazy monster to show his bravery and glory.
With the aura of faith to weaken the manticore's defense, and the newly obtained high-quality enchanted long sword and dark gold shield in his hand, the monster was constantly weakened by his offensive. It was expected that he would be able to kill it after a few attacks. rears its ugly head.
But at this moment, several voices suddenly attracted his attention. There was a little fear in the voice, "Look, there seems to be a big guy over there." Unable to delay it any longer, Masnot immediately
ordered Several dragon princes nearby helped him kill the manticore. Although personal bravery and glory were important, they could not let any accidents occur in this defensive battle that could have been won without any losses, even if the prince would not punish him. , Maslow would also think this was a huge dereliction of duty.
In just two minutes, the manticore's head had been chopped off by a giant sword. No matter who should own this glorious trophy, Masnot lay on the battlement and looked at the mountains outside.
A large number of harpy corpses were lying in the open space outside the fortress. Most of them fell in mid-air due to the pellets of the Eagle Claw Ballista, while the rest were attacked by archers and eight others at close range. Storm attack.
Following the loud noise, in Masnow's shocked eyes, two hydra snakes appeared trampling on the corpses and the woods, and next to them were an extremely large number of saber-toothed tigers and other magical beasts.
But this was not the worst situation. Several howls with different sounds suddenly came from the sky. Masno, who knew what the howls meant, immediately asked the gunner to be alert to the sky. When the hydra appeared, he felt something Pressure, but this different howl means that he may need to ask the prince to support the battlefield.
A creature of chaos that was even bigger than a manticore came into view in the air. The monster had three heads, a vulture on the right, a giant python in the middle, and a lion's head on the left. This was an extremely rare creature. Chimera, even in the chaotic frozen soil, the appearance of a chimera often heralds a disaster. They are one of the few creatures that can compete with the dragon for air supremacy. The three heads can spit different breaths, lightning , poison, and flames, these are all abilities that Chimera can easily use.
"Everyone focuses on the Chimera and shoots it down first." Masno walked next to a priest of Ardaeus and ordered, regardless of whether he was one of his subordinates. "Use your magic turret to attack the hydra." , before the prince and the high priest finish talking, they must be held back." Masno knew how terrifying the power of the hydra was. Hundreds of years ago, Druchi's famous beast lord Lakas summoned nine snakes at once. Only hydras attacked Ulthuan, and although six were killed, they still caused devastating damage to Asul's army.
The former prince was also killed by Druchi's assassins on the chaotic battlefield when he and his dragon companions were focusing on killing a hydra.
On the battlefield, unless you use a giant dragon or a large number of ballistae to focus fire, fighting against giant beasts like hydras that can regenerate quickly will not have much effect, and fire is an excellent way to fight against them. , Ardaeus Temple is equipped with many flame magic turrets, which will definitely delay these two behemoths for a while.
The Chimera flies extremely fast. Although the wingspan on its huge body is not particularly long, as a creature of chaos, its body is full of chaotic energy that causes mutations. These unstable energies make the Chimera's speed faster than It was incredible for its size, and only eight crossbow arrows successfully hit it while flying at high speed.
However, the crossbow arrows did not have much effect. The evil moon Moslieb hung high in the sky. It would protect the monsters that rushed towards the civilized world under its influence. A dark green energy barrier successfully blocked the crossbow arrows.
This is also one of the reasons why Imric is reluctant to form a large-scale long-range force at the beginning. There are too many monsters and monsters in Warhammer. The Holy Grail Knight with a cannonball in his face may be just a joke, but it also reflects the side of it. If it is not large-scale and powerful, The long-range troops with firepower are not as effective as the big sword in their hands when fighting against some enemies.
Just when Masnow felt a little desperate, a huge dragon flew out from inside the fortress. Compared with the twisted creation of chaos, it looked so graceful and moving.
Minas Nir had long noticed the movement in the air, but he still lay lazily in the open space in front of the temple. After Ardaeus possessed the high priest, the temperature of the temple increased extremely, even to the point where ordinary people It was unbearable, but for a Yaoxing dragon that could take a bath in the volcano of the Longji Mountains, the unbearable temperature only made it a little sleepy.
After the Eagle Claw Ballista's shots had no effect on the Chimera, Minasnir knew it was time for it to take action. As the leader of the dragons of Caledor, in a sense, it was Caledor's leader. Another king would never allow these filthy creatures to set foot on its territory and kill its people.
The dragon rushed towards the Chimera at an extremely fast speed. Compared with other creatures, the huge creature looked emaciated in front of the Legendary Star Dragon. The sharp dragon claws scratched the Chimera's body, and green blood fell from the air. The soil made a sizzling sound under the influence of the highly corrosive blood.
Minas Nir's attack was originally intended to cut off its three heads directly, but as the pinnacle of chaos creation, the Chimera would not be easily killed like this, so it changed its flight direction and headed towards Mi Nas Nir. Nasnir.
Three ugly and crazy heads opened wide at the same time. Lightning, venom, and flames were condensed in their mouths and they were spitting towards the dragon's back. This breath was the most iconic attack method of the Chimera. Even an adult griffon would be hit by it. The last shot was also half disabled.
PS: Chimeras and hydras are found in toilet seats. There are related descriptions in the Biography of Malekith (1) in the column of Bilibili. I just don’t know if there are any that have survived after six thousand years. The author thinks that there are. A rare number of them exist in the Annuli Mountains. According to the research on Diwu Peng, the author has not done rigorous research, so it is just for plot service.
