"Boom! Boom!"
Amidst the thunderous sound, the black four-wheeled carriage was getting closer and closer to the palace. The driver was a strong man in black. He was wearing a full set of chainmail under the clothes, which made him look bulging. In the carriage, there were many strong men in the same clothes, their eyes were calm and slightly excited. They all knew that they were going to perform an extremely critical task and must complete it.
The strong man in black driving the car whipped the horse crazily, making the carriage move as fast as possible. At the same time, he shouted to his companions in the carriage: "You should know very well what the key to this mission is, and that is Hurry! We need to reach Prince Richard in the shortest possible time, and then evacuate quickly. No matter what obstacles we encounter during the process, we must solve them at all costs. Now, start checking the equipment!"
"Yes." The strong men in the carriage all shook their bodies and immediately checked the packages of different sizes around them. There were many technological weapons that were beyond the current era. For example, swords made of special alloys, crossbows with a range of more than 200 meters that can shoot accurately, and extremely powerful yellow powder explosives...
"Boom! Boom!"
The carriage was still moving, and the strong man in black driving the car suddenly saw something. The next moment he raised his head and looked upward, then his eyes widened slightly and his mouth opened slightly: "This is..."
At the same time, in the palace, William's soldiers suddenly looked towards the sky, showing extremely shocked expressions: "This... this..."
Richard frowned slightly, looked up, and then shrank his eyes.
A huge shadow flew across the sky without warning, and a terrifying monster came roaring out of the blue. The wings flap slowly, the neck is slightly bent, and the mouth is open.
"Roar!"
With an earth-shattering roar, a large ball of high-temperature flames spurted out, spreading like lava throughout the palace. The raindrops in the sky boiled and turned into white steam, and one building after another was set on fire.
Under the dark sky, the firelight flickered, reflecting on the faces of the stunned people.
"Dragon! It's a dragon!" I don't know who shouted out, and then everyone screamed and dispersed like birds and animals, fleeing in all directions in panic.
At this time, there was no difference between a prince and a soldier, they were just insects escaping hastily under the flames of the fire-breathing dragon.
William didn't know where he was taken by the soldiers. After a while, the entire square was emptied out. The palace behind him was burning with flames. Richard squinted his eyes and looked at the giant dragon hovering in the sky.
The giant dragon continued to wreak havoc, continuously spitting out large balls of flames, igniting all parts of the palace, spreading fear in all directions.
Richard's eyes flickered.
The so-called dragon is obviously the Western dragon, one of the top demonized creatures recorded in "The Chapter of Monroe". It has a lizard-like body with two wings on its back. It looks at everything with huge and cold vertical eyes. From time to time, it opens its mouth and spits out flames.
"interesting."
Richard murmured, but his eyes shrank the next moment.
The vision in front of him suddenly darkened, and he saw the dragon's body suddenly swooping down. The surrounding air surged wildly under the dragon's dive, making the robe on his body make a rustling sound.
next moment…
…
In the palace.
The soldiers, who had finally settled down, fetched water to put out the fire.
There were several soldiers carrying the unconscious William on their backs and shouting: "Doctor, doctor, the king has fainted! Doctor, come quickly..."
Outside Blue Lion City.
In an abandoned village yard, guards crawled out of the tunnel one after another. Bill looked in the direction of the palace and saw the flames getting higher and higher. His eyes flickered and he couldn't help but murmured: "Your Highness..."
Inside the Blue Lion City.
On the bluestone road, the four-wheeled carriage had stopped. The strong man in black driving the car stared at the black figure flying higher and higher and the black spot on his back, and cursed: "Damn it, that dragon snatched away His Highness the Prince. !”
"Then... what should we do?" The strong men in the carriage were stunned.
"What can we do? Follow the plan that Prince Richard made and implement Plan No. 4."
"yes… "
…
"Puff puff-"
The dragon flapped its wings and continued to rise. Richard stood on the dragon's back, his eyes flashing: "Gregory, right? Well, you just said you kidnapped me, the prince, just to find a playmate for your daughter?" Isn’t this reason too forced?”
"Roar!" The giant dragon did not answer, but continued to increase its height, flying higher and higher, and the surrounding temperature began to drop.
Richard took a deep breath, looked at the dragon, and tried to ask other questions.
"How did you fly?"
"..." The giant dragon remained silent.
Richard began to guess, his eyes fell on the dragon's entire body, staring at the wings for a while, and then shook his head.
Generally speaking, a creature or thing can't fly just because it wants to. It must at least be explained by some reasoning and science. To fly, it either has a special structure like a bird, or it has a special power source like an airplane or a rocket.
Judging from the appearance, the giant dragon obviously does not conform to the special structure of birds. You know, in order to be able to fly, birds have made compromises in various parts of their bodies during the evolution process.
For example, the outer body is covered with feathers, which not only keeps the body warm, but also streamlines the shape and reduces air resistance.
For example, the bones are thin and light, and the bones are hollow and filled with air. The skull is a complete whole, and the vertebrae in various parts of the body are also connected to each other. There are hook-shaped protrusions on the ribs for hooking, which not only reduces the weight, but also reduces the weight. It also enhances flight capabilities.
Another example is the "double breathing" and simplified excretion system created by special lungs. This kind of structure ensures that when the birds flap their wings and stir up the airflow, they can generate enough downward pressure resistance to ensure flying in the air.
In comparison, the giant dragon has no feathers at all, only scales. In order to support the huge body, the bones are absolutely solid, and are very dense and strong.
The two wings flap only occasionally, and only serve to adjust the height and direction. The downward pressure resistance they can generate is almost zero. And even if it continues to flap its wings, according to the size and weight of the dragon, it will not be able to fly at all unless the frequency reaches hundreds of times per second.
But the reality is that the dragon is flying smoothly in the air.
Richard pursed his lips. Could it be that he had a special power source in his body? Like an engine like an airplane
Well, there's no propeller, obviously not a turboprop. Then it should be something similar to a jet engine - the body continuously sprays high-speed fluid to the outside world, and uses the recoil to generate power for flight.
According to consistent logic, the position where the gas is ejected should be at the very rear, that is...
Richard took a few steps on the dragon's back and tried to look under the dragon's tail.
