Chapter 742: Showing Strength (I)
More than a dozen evil dragons and a terrifying-looking giant lingered near the city gate, causing the young officer on duty to break out in a cold sweat, and he even felt his hands and feet shaking uncontrollably, and his vision was a little blurry, just to keep standing was already very reluctant.
Obviously, this is due to the influence of a strong dragon power, especially the black dragon Oroxes and the brown dragon Otagos now have the same strength as the ancient dragon, not only has the body grown a lot, but also exudes a terrifying aura all the time, even other adult dragons are inevitably affected, not to mention a mere mid-level officer.
Just when the young man was about to lose his support, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and patted him on the shoulder.
"Alright, son, go down and rest, I'll leave it to me."
As he spoke, Corey stood up with a solemn expression, his eyes staring closely at the visually striking picture not far ahead, his heart seemed to be shaken hatefully by a big hand, and his breathing became rapid. He now knows why the soldiers who reported it are not even able to speak, normal people who have seen such a scene and are not frightened and faint should be regarded as determined.
"My lord! You better hurry back, it's too dangerous here. As soon as the young officer came to his senses, he took Corey's hand and tried to drag him away from the wall.
"No, I have my own mission, which is to negotiate with the dragons outside. The fact that they didn't attack now shows that they don't want to destroy the city, so there's no need to worry too much. Hurry up and let people open the city gates, do you think a city gate can block the other party? Corey scolded.
He understood that the young officer was there to protect himself, but he must not back down at such a time. Although it is no longer a paladin. But obedience and responsibility are still engraved in his bones. Therefore, the more dangerous it is, the more courageous it is to take it. Even death is fearless.
Soon, at Corey's insistence, the closed iron gate was slowly opened, and he walked alone in front of the dragons with heavy steps, and bowed deeply.
"King of the sky, descendant of the great dragon queen Tiamat, what is the purpose of your coming here, is it to destroy miรจ or treasure?"
"Hahahaha! Mankind. You don't seem to recognize me? Oloxes shook his head and laughed.
But it's no wonder that since the last time they cooperated, he was just an adult black dragon, whether it was the size, appearance, color of the scales, and the dragon power that was about to form a substance, it was very far away, it was like eating a strong spirit, it was nearly twice as big, and it was difficult for anyone to associate the two together.
Hearing this familiar voice, Corey instantly became smart, hurriedly turned his head and glanced at the brown dragon who was yawning boredly next to him, and shouted in a lost voice: "Yes...... It's you! The gods are above! It's only been a long time. How did you become like ...... It's like an ancient dragon! โ
Ortagos lowered his head and squinted his eyes, and a wicked smile appeared on his hideous face: "How." Surprised? Look at the poor guys on the city walls, they are almost scared to pee their pants. Let them put away the ridiculous crossbows, you should know that those things are useless against dragons. โ
"Damn! It's not all of you! "As soon as I mentioned it, Corey immediately became angry." What city is not nervous in the face of a dozen dragons about to enter the sky? Especially since you brought a terrible multi-armed giant with you! He's a living siege machine, and once he appears, it means war! โ
"War?"
Omoxes pursed his lips disdainfully, pointed to the evil dragons behind him who were chained by the "Mithril Chain of Sorrows" and said, "We just finished a war in the south, and we saw that those who were tethered were not there, they were all captives, slaves of the great master. That giant also surrendered after the defeat, so there is no need for you to worry about it. โ
In his eyes, compared to the magic battle that Sodenisra had just ended, human society was too backward, even the Cormier Kingdom War Mage Regiment, which had been advocated by the bards, looked like a strong man and a baby compared to the magic skills of the elves, and just an extended application of a mystery - forbidden by the Spell School, could instantly abolish more than sixty percent of the combat power of the War Mage Regiment.
Of course, human society is not without magical powers, such as Serre's red-robed mage, and the terrible country of mages - Harua.
The former can easily pull out thousands of formal mages and several times more apprentices, and with several legendary spellcasters as the backing, normally speaking, it will not be much worse than the power of most elven kingdoms.
As for the latter, it is even more terrifying, the Harua people are descendants of the refuge from Nessrael, so they have a fanatical pursuit of magic, it is said that there are about 180,000 mages in the country, but they are all obsessed with their own research, so they have never shown aggression, otherwise all the countries in the south of the continent of Faeron will inevitably be annexed by it.
But this qiฤ is still inferior to the elves on the overseas eternal island, after all, after the era of Nesseril and the destruction of Miรจ by the Imasca Empire, only these pointy-eared guys still have the terrifying power enough to destroy the Miรจ world, and to this day, when it comes to elven mages, some people still think of the magic ritual that made the entire continent collapse tens of thousands of years ago.
In fact, the number of spellcasters is not always more powerful, sometimes quality is much more important than quantity, as can be seen in the several battles between the red-robed mage and Xinbu.
The Storm Queen single-handedly blocked hundreds of red-robed mages several times, and killed each other crying dad and mother, but the red-robed mages couldn't come up with a solution, and even the plan to annex the Agoralon region was forced to run aground.
Corey saw the contempt in the black dragon's eyes, and shook his head helplessly: "Okay, maybe you have your point, but this city is full of civilians who don't have any power, and because of your appearance, they are all panicking now, so immediately retreat, at least out of the observation range of the city wall." โ
"Humph! That's impossible! The order given by the host was to fly to Baldur's Gate and we could not get too far from the city. Oloxes said with his head held up proudly.
"Hey, hey! Sorry, we just carried out the order. If you have any doubts. Let's talk about it when the master arrives. He's on the airship behind him, and he should be there in half an hour. The brown dragon Otagos echoed with a smirk.
Obviously, they were just looking for trouble, maybe they just wanted to see the soldiers on the city walls make a fool of themselves. After all, the evil blood flows in the veins of these two guys, and although they are restrained by Henry, they are not at all full of bad intentions.
"Good! That's great! No matter how stupid Corey is, he feels the playful attitude of these two bastards at this moment, and he is so angry that he trembles up and down, if it weren't for his professional level, it would be a bit pitiful. It is estimated that he would have rushed up a long time ago to teach the other party how to be a dragon.
But it can't be helped, there is a good saying, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. There are times in the world when this is the case. Although he hated it so much, he couldn't do anything but take a deep breath, turn around and return to the city, announcing that the guards on the city walls had been lifted.
As soon as he returned to the office, Hawke hurriedly greeted him and asked loudly, "How is it?" What did the dragons demand? โ
Corey rubbed his brow and replied with a wry smile, "Don't worry, they won't attack the city." Do you remember the nickname given to His Majesty by the Ammen? โ
"Dragon Rider?! Oh...... OMG! Surely all those dragons were tamed by him! Hawke's mouth grew in surprise. I didn't even notice that the pipe in my hand had fallen to the ground.
"That's right, I recognize the two guys who are leading the way. They said that in half an hour, His Majesty would return with his army in triumph. Corey nodded helplessly.
"Really! Then I'll have to hurry up and get ready, or I'll be rude." โ
With that, Hawke immediately picked up his pipe and hurried out of the object. He knew that although Henry had always hated these useless things, he still had to make a show in front of outsiders. Baldur's Gate is now inhabited by many emissaries of other countries and powers, especially the church of the noble goddess Sheanworth attaches great importance to these, so a welcoming ceremony is still necessary.
"Well, it looks like I'm going to the barracks to get ready." Corey sighed slightly and said to himself.
Under the strong intervention of the two military and political tycoons, a gorgeous guard of honor was soon organized to block the tower where the airship docked, followed by a red carpet on the ground, hundreds of girls who were temporarily summoned stood on both sides with flower baskets, and six dragon knights were fully armed near the exit, with spears in their hands raised high.
These most terrifying mounts on land were secretly smuggled from the Chult jungles in the south some time ago by guรฒ ships, and they were still in the run-in period with the knights, but it was enough to scare people.
Such a large battle quickly attracted the attention of passers-by, and it didn't take long for countless crowds to gather to watch the excitement, all of them whispering about whether they were greeting the big man.
Due to the very backward communication of the Faeron continent, the main channels for most ordinary people to get news are official announcements, and the other is the stories of merchants, travelers, and bards who come and go from the south to the north, so what happened in the south has not yet spread, except for a very few well-informed guys, the rest are still in the dark.
Just as the crowd began to stir a little, three huge airships began to slowly reveal themselves, and the brown dragon Otagos and the black dragon Oroxes also took off again, leading the dragons to follow behind and approach the city.
"O my God! That...... That's the dragon! โ
I don't know who shouted first, which instantly caused tension, and the crowd of onlookers suddenly fell into a panic, if it wasn't for Corey to transfer enough guards in advance, it really might not be able to maintain order.
Although the soldiers shouted at the top of their voices to calm down, it had little effect, and if it weren't for the dragons in the sky who had not made a threatening move so far, I am afraid that they would have completely fried the pot long ago.
After more than ten minutes, the huge giant was the first to descend to the designated position, followed by the door that was hanging slowly open, and out of it came a young man with silver hair and silver eyes in a robe.
I saw him wave his hand at the dragons in the sky, and these terrifying creatures that terrified countless people quickly landed on the square next to the tower like good babies, and all of them bowed their heads respectfully, as if to show their obedience to the supreme king.
Shock!
The originally noisy crowd instantly became silent, and Heng used the most simple and rude way to show his strength to everyone in the city, even the noble goddess bishop who was invited to come grew his mouth and did not say a word for a long time.
