The reconnaissance team led by Sonya found a dragon being besieged by drake giants near the edge of the battle zone.
To be honest, Gao Wen was stunned when he first heard the news.
Because his first reaction was that the mylittlepony lady fell from the sky again. After all, the blue dragon had a precedent in this regard, and its flying skills were not very reliable.
But soon he ruled out this guess, because the report pointed out that the dragon was black, Gao Wen rationally analyzed it, and felt that it should not be the result of Melita being blown black by arcane lightning...
But no matter what, he immediately sent support troops to meet the opponent at the breakout location marked by Sonia. This is the stepping stone for further action on the Red Maple area.
…
It wasn't until she saw several steel chariots with strange shapes and a large number of fully armed human soldiers appearing in front of her that Maggie was finally sure that she had survived.
That is the army that Cecil's army can fight all the way from the edge of the polluted area to the hinterland.
The engine of the steel chariot roars, the magic cannon emits a piercing scream, and the obelisk-shaped warhead accelerated by the orbit falls into the enemy's formation, ending those sad and twisted lives with an explosion, and there are soldiers wearing metal armor Carrying a heavy combat backpack, holding a flamethrower and marching with the chariot, flames billowed everywhere they passed, and everything burned.
The breath of iron and fire filled the battlefield, and the power of civilization, which was more barbaric than barbaric, completely shocked Maggie's heart.
Deafening explosions resounded in all directions, and the ground trembled slightly under the explosion. Maggie struggled to shake off a giant crystal cluster that was trying to grab her tail, and then watched the monster in the air being hit by more than a dozen blows. The light beam was cut into pieces, and the deadly magic effect was scattered around like cheap crossbow arrows, strafing all standing targets that were not friendly. Maggie couldn't help shrinking her neck under the huge earthquake , feeling an inexplicable fright
What kind of power did the founding duke who came back from the dead create in his kingdom
She followed the safe route covered by the gunfire, and the strong dragon claws ran on the ground in a somewhat embarrassed posture. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a car with a steel holy emblem, and many prayers and phrases stamped on the surface of the carriage with steel stamps. The large vehicle with the sacred symbol rushed up the ramp, and the weapons on the roof fired frequently, sweeping the battlefield with hot white light, and then the metal door on the side of the chariot opened, and several brave warriors wearing thick white armor and unusually tall stature came from inside They rushed out, holding heavy warhammers, their helmets and shoulder armor were engraved with scriptures everywhere, and the scripture cloth on their chests fluttered in the wind. They rushed to the battlefield, smashed the nearest cluster giant with their warhammers, and shouted Roaring: "Execute the purification of the Holy Light!"
Then, these berserkers picked up some kind of incendiary device hanging behind their backs and began to shoot around.
Finally, the battlefield returned to calm.
The Griffon Knight and the giant eagle hovered high in the sky, continuing to monitor the surrounding situation. A soldier who looked like a commander came to Maggie with a few soldiers. The commander looked at the scene in front of him with curiosity and caution. The black dragon glanced and asked aloud: "How is the situation? Can you understand human language?"
Enduring the throbbing pain from the wound, Maggie let out a deep, almost roaring voice: "Yes."
"Okay." The officer nodded, and then noticed Maggie's bleeding wounds, so he immediately turned around and waved, "A priest is needed here, she is seriously injured!"
Even though Maggie's voice was deep in dragon form, the officer recognized the femininity in her voice.
Maggie originally wanted to say that her injury was not a problem, and that with the physique of the Dragon Clan, she could resist until she reached the evacuation point, but she soon forgot to speak in shock, because she saw those who were braver than Berserkers The heavy-armored warrior walked towards him, and the leader untied a metal-cased prayer book from his waist, as if about to release the holy light spell...
So... These people are Cecil's pastors
At this moment, Maggie suddenly understood why the original Holy Light Church in the southern border was kicked out...
…
The rescue operation went very smoothly. Shortly after Gao Wen arrived at the advance base, the news of the mission's success was sent to him.
In the mission briefing, the commander praised the role played by the White Knight squad on the battlefield. They bravely eliminated the enemy and provided effective treatment to the aid target. The irreplaceable role is quite worthy of praise.
This made Gao Wen quite relieved, and he strengthened his opinion: Priests are really good at saving lives and healing wounds...
Before the evening of this day, the black dragon of unknown origin, but which seemed to be related to the Duke of the North, arrived at the advancing stronghold.
Thanks to effective treatment, she walked into the camp on her own.
Gao Wen specially vacated a large area in the camp to accommodate this visitor, because he remembered that the dragon family was a kind of colossal monster with a length of tens of meters (Melita Purnia data), but when the other end When the black dragon appeared in the camp, Gao Wen realized that the situation was different from what he expected.
It was an exceptionally thin dragon, with a wingspan limit of only a dozen meters, and a body size of only one-third to one-half the size of an adult dragon. Moreover, its wings were particularly distorted and short, as if they were not fully developed.
Although Gao Wen had only seen Merita Purnia's dragon form from a long distance before, and he could only measure the adult dragon's length visually, he was sure that the standard adult dragon was definitely bigger than the black dragon in front of him. much.
Is this a baby dragon
With such doubts in mind, he calmly met the black dragon who was walking into the center of the camp. The latter hardly paid much attention to the strange prefabricated barracks and rotating magic power monitoring devices around him, nor did he pay attention to the soldiers and officers nearby. Stopping to look around, she came to Gao Wen, that face that was so different from a human... there was a clear and identifiable anxiety.
Before she came to her, she said quickly: "Dear Duke, Boulder City needs your support! Victoria, she..."
"Don't worry, I've received news that the main force has begun to move north," Gawain interrupted the black dragon. He noticed that his words obviously made the breathing of the dragon in front of him calm down, which made him very curious, "You Who is it? What is your relationship with Victoria Wilder?"
The black dragon was silent for a while, and then clearly said something that surprised Gao Wen: "I am Maggie, you have seen her before."
"Maggie?" Gawain was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, he finally found the pronunciation from his memory, and remembered that it seemed to be the name of the black-haired maid next to Victoria, a very distinctive name, unlike Ann. SU style name.
"So it's like this... a giant dragon..." Gawain laughed and nodded slightly, "Has the Wilder family actually established contact with you..."
"I am loyal to Victoria with my personal will," the black dragon said immediately, and was a little curious, "You... don't seem surprised when you face the Dragon Clan?"
"I have dealt with dragons before," Gao Wen said casually, and then asked, "but the dragons I have seen are not the same as yours. I would like to ask, if you feel offended or taboo, you don't need to answer you, yes A young dragon?"
He remembered that the black-haired maid's human form was very mature, so he was very curious about her dragon form, and this was a good opportunity to learn about the dragon race. The other party wanted something from him at this moment, so he probably wouldn't ask for it because of this simple question. Turn on yourself.
He noticed that Maggie hesitated for a while in front of this question. There might still be tension and irritation hidden in the hesitation. It seemed that this simple question had touched an area she was unwilling to answer, but she still spoke, her tone A little hesitant: "This is... a disease..."
"Okay, I understand," Gao Wen vaguely guessed what was going on, and immediately interrupted, "Sorry, ma'am, my question offended me."
Immediately afterwards, he looked at Maggie's current form and changed the subject: "Ma'am, can you change into a human form? Maybe it will be easier for us to communicate."
The black dragon lowered its neck slightly: "It's okay, please step back a little bit."
Several commanders including Gao Wen, as well as Hu Po and others who ran out to watch the fun, immediately retreated, while the black dragon in the center of the open space moved its wings and tail, accompanied by a powerful wave With the fluctuation of magic power and the sudden appearance of the cyclone, the whole body of the black dragon was shrouded in a constantly wriggling light curtain
Watching the continuous shrinking and changing of the light curtain, Gao Wen couldn't help but think of a sentence: Most transformation spells in the world originated from the dragon clan...
Maggie, with black hair and black eyes, wearing a maid's skirt and two long swords hanging from her waist, stepped out of the light curtain.
In the crowd, Amber couldn't help muttering to Philip: "Actually, I've always wondered where the clothes and belongings are hidden on the bodies of people who perform transformation techniques..."
The young and straightforward knight was obviously not very able to adapt to the rhythm of this intelligence leader, and was stunned for a moment: "... why are you thinking so strangely?"
"Thank you very much for your assistance." Maggie in human form came to Gawain and bowed deeply, but then couldn't help asking, "When will your army..."
"The main force of my legion will arrive at the battle zone in the evening, and we can launch an attack overnight, but before that, we must formulate an effective attack plan," Gawain interrupted the humanoid dragon, and pointed to a different place. The barracks used as the headquarters in the distance, "Please follow me, I want to understand the situation in the north first."
Maggie followed Gawain and several Cecil officers into the headquarters. Here, the first thing she saw was an extremely delicate and detailed map hanging on the wooden wall of the barracks.
On the exquisite map, she saw the giant wooden crossing marked with many tactical symbols, saw the criss-crossing arrows, saw the lines showing the position of the enemy and the division of the battle zone, and one after another that even she couldn't understand. Numbers and shorthand marks.
Even though she was only a maid in name, Maggie instantly realized what this map meant: it meant that the Cecilians controlled the battlefield, and it meant a way of warfare that had never been realized before!
She even wanted to turn her head away at the first moment, because the information presented on the map was so much that it could influence the situation of the war, but soon she realized that Gao Wen brought her to see this map. map.
Gao Wen spoke from the side: "Mark where Victoria is, where the enemy is, their approximate size, and the situation of the main defense line, if you know."
Maggie nodded, walked forward, and pointed to the location of Boulder City: "Victoria and the Mountain Corps are trapped in the castle area...
"The enemy has completely surrounded Boulder City. There is no gap in the ground. The number... is conservatively estimated to be more than 50,000, and this number can increase at any time, because they have a steady stream of troops that can be mobilized. As long as the attack is frustrated, they will definitely increase their troops...
"This is Hongfeng City, on the east bank of the Gorgon River, the base camp of those monsters...
"When I flew across the sky, I saw that those monsters were dividing part of their forces and moving south..."
Gawain listened carefully to Maggie's information one by one, and kept summarizing and considering them, while beside him, Philip and several staff members were also discussing in low tones quickly, deducing possible attack routes.
"How long do you think Victoria can last?" Gao Wen asked suddenly.
Maggie said in a heavy tone: "They originally relied on the strength of the blizzard barrier to hold on, and they could last for three days. Later, Victoria took the initiative to withdraw from the blizzard and chose to face the enemy head-on. Relying on the walls of the castle area and the hard work of the soldiers, they may only be able to Two days... no, that's the Mountain Corps, they must last one more day! Even if there is no blizzard, they can last three days!"
Gao Wen sighed slightly in his heart.
Rather than lingering for three days behind a safe barrier, the northern soldiers chose to die generously after three days of fighting...
"I've been on the road for a day..." Maggie added.
On the other side, Philip and the staff had already discussed something, and one of the staff came to Gao Wen's side and whispered a few words.
Gawain raised his head and looked at Maggie: "Ma'am, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Boulder City within two days."
The black-haired maid's eyes widened instantly, but before she showed despair, Gawain had already continued:
"But we only need a day to get to Red Maple and blow it up."
