Chapter 442: The Bone Dragon is still there (5000!)

Taner agreed with Taran's words.

The burly Taner nodded.

Then he dropped the defense line.

Came before the civilian armed forces that were being reorganized and grouped.

Even though it was a temporary conscription and the action was hasty, there were quite a few civilian armed forces who rushed to the defense line at this time.

Taner estimated that there were about two thousand people.

They are usually farmers, laborers, hunters and adventurers.

Now they gather here.

Tanr believed in their loyalty to Rand and their determination to fight.

But Taner still needed confirmation.

Taner walked to the center of the field.

A location that everyone can see.

"I'm Taner." Taner introduced himself.

Taner was born into an ordinary villager and has no surname.

Karin's surname is inherited from successive saints.

"I think everyone knows me, or knows me." Taner's face was firm, his words were steady, and he held the sword at his waist. "I am the general appointed by Duke Rand of the Moon Phase."

"I have felt your desire to fight for this land and for Rand."

"I'm here to ask, do you know what you should do as a soldier?" Taner said loudly, his voice as loud as thunder.

"fighting!"

“Kill the enemy!”

"Hold the line!"

Taner received mixed responses.

Taner was quite satisfied with these answers.

However, Taner still denied it and said, "I was following orders."

Tanner took a deep breath.

He had already memorized the required courses in war studies, one, two, and three.

What we should do now is to boost morale and stabilize the military spirit.

"The undead on the other side of the defense line are nothing but a bunch of rotten flesh and bones in my opinion," Taner said loudly, "but defeating them requires our joint efforts. I have fought with Lord Rand for seven years. You can trust my command."

"As long as you obey my orders, the enemies on the other side are nothing but chickens and dogs!" Taner roared loudly.

"Now tell me, are you willing to accept my orders and act according to my orders?" Taner shouted.

These determined civilian forces are an important fighting force.

However, if they cannot unite and fight on their own, their combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened.

Fortunately, Taner has long been trusted by everyone.

Who wouldn't know this upright, brave, steady and resourceful general?

Lord Rand is willing to give Taner his complete and full trust.

Of course they also trusted Taner.

"We are willing!" said the people from the civilian armed forces.

"Louder!" Taner shouted.

"We do!" The response roared like thunder.

"Very good." Taner glanced at everyone, "Be ready to go to the battlefield at any time, boys and girls, and stop the group of undead who want to take away our land. Lord Rand will never waste your efforts."

Then Taner said no more and walked up the wall of this defense line with great strides.

This line of defense has gone through many battles. After the Snow Fox Countess retreated, this line of defense became longer and served as a pass to prevent smuggling and facilitate management.

Now it works.

The core area of ​​Rand is the Crescent Territory.

If you want to completely destroy the Dukedom of the Moon Phase in a short period of time, you must attack the Crescent Moon Territory.

Of course, you can also sweep across the countryside and attack Full Moon Territory and Crescent Moon Port.

However, this would only cause Rand to suffer heavy losses, and would not completely capture the Dukedom of the Moon.

And if the Dukedom of the Moon Phase cannot be captured in one fell swoop, the nobles of the Frost Moon Kingdom will definitely react.

At that time, what we have to face is not just the troops of the Duke of Moon Phase, but the entire Frost Moon Kingdom.

"How long will it take?" Archbishop of Scourge asked again.

"It's ready." The Scourge Bishop under him responded.

"Then attack." The Archbishop of Scourge ordered.

The Archbishop of Scourge came here in person, and actually he had another purpose, which was to find this area.

That skull dragon.

In his perception, the huge force of death was that damn bone dragon, which had pulled out half of the obsidian tower.

However, in the battle report, the skull dragon did not directly attack the undead.

Therefore, Archbishop Scourge still believed that the skull dragon could be tamed.

The half-broken Obsidian Tower was probably due to the lack of death power, which was in urgent need of replenishment. The two sides have not communicated with each other yet, so they cannot fight side by side.

The Archbishop of Scourge believed that if he came in person, he would definitely be able to tame the skull dragon.

By then, the strength of natural disasters will be raised to a higher level.

The skeletons made a crackling sound of bones colliding with each other.

The zombies let out a decayed roar.

The Undead Legion attacked the Crescent Territory's defense line.

The undead are already familiar with attacking defenses.

Use Roshan for cover, Death Knight for surprise attack, and Banshee for intimidation.

Then the undead's "siege equipment" will destroy the city walls.

Taner stared outside the defense line.

The number of undead is several times theirs, but the enemy's strength is actually not too exaggerated.

It seems that due to the rush, the other side can't provide too many people.

As the swarm of undead approached the city wall, the human defenders rolled logs and rocks down from the wall.

Large pieces of skeletons and zombies were crushed.

Death Knights roam the wilds, looking for weak points in the defenses.

The Meat Mountain took on all the attacks and came directly to the defense line.

The meat mountains are huge in size, and their height is much taller than the walls of the defense line.

They stretched out their fat and smelly arms and could easily attack the guards on the defensive walls.

But fortunately, the Torch Church has considerable power in the Dukedom of the Moon.

The leaders of the Torch Church's nascent faction, Bishop Kahn and Karin, have already regarded the Dukedom of the Moon Phase as their base camp.

With the changes and development of the Torch Church's Novice Sect, more and more Torch Church Novice believers have come to the Dukedom of the Moon Phase.

And now, even if some of the newborn sects do not fully agree with the changed doctrine, it is still their duty to fight against evil.

Uphold justice, maintain peace, and fight against evil.

The walls of the Crescent Territory's defense line are not high, but the defenders' will to resist is very high.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle.

…

At this time, Rand stood on the deck with a calm expression, looking ahead.

He had, of course, given the order to advance at full speed.

The moon is very bright tonight.

The sea area was illuminated as if it were daytime.

This makes it convenient for night navigation.

The stars are not dim, and the crew can get directions through the stars.

On the deck, sailors were busy shuttling back and forth, skillfully adjusting the sails and ropes, tightly gripping the steering wheel, sometimes dodging the oncoming sea water, sometimes shouting loudly, trying their best to maintain the balance and course of the ship.

The ship sped across the turbulent sea, like a soaring sea eagle, cutting through the vast sky. The sea breeze blew violently, and the sails fluttered like huge wings, driving the hull forward rapidly. The masts towered into the clouds, and the sails were taut, swelling with the power of the wind, making a roaring roar.

The route from Crescent Moon Port to the White Country Port has already been opened.

Traveling by sea from the White Country to the Crescent Moon Territory is indeed faster than traveling by land.

According to the sailors' reports.

We are not far from Crescent Moon Harbor now.

It is estimated that we will arrive before dawn.

And Rand has already sent Crow Coke out first.

It is not only for reconnaissance, but also for guiding the bone dragon.

The bone dragon is Rand's trump card left in the territory.

If a life-and-death battle really occurs, then this evil trump card will naturally be brought onto the battlefield without hesitation.

And now, it may very well be a matter of life and death that suddenly arises.

Rand believed in his soldiers, in Tanr and Fenris.

But what if the enemies are too numerous and too strong? After all, a good cook cannot make a meal without rice, right? Rand planned to control the bone dragon to fight.

The range within which Rand could control the bone dragon was not very far.

Only after reaching Crescent Moon Harbor can one control the bone dragon in Crescent Moon Territory.

There is another problem with controlling bone dragons, which is that bone dragons themselves have no intelligence.

Controlling it requires strict instructions, and the bone dragon doesn't know the way.

Without being able to see, Rand couldn't remotely command the bone dragon to fly into the undead army and accurately attack which enemy or enemies.

but!

Crow Coke makes up for this shortcoming.

Rand has done a pretty good job of developing his various abilities.

Although Rand could not accurately control the bone dragon remotely.

But you can let Crow Coke lead the way.

Bone dragons have no intelligence, but Crow Cola does.

Rand can also share Crow Cola's vision. Through Crow Cola's vision, Rand can control the behavior of the bone dragon at any time.

If we understand it using Rand's ideas from his previous life.

That is, the Bone Dragon is a mecha, Crow Cola is the perception module, and Rand is the mecha pilot who can drive remotely.

It’s not far away.

The night wind blows.

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound on the deck.

A sailor came to report, saying, "There are pirates."

Rand looked at the night sky.

The moonlight is bright.

What the hell, pirates are so diligent? They rob in the middle of the night.

A black pirate ship emerged like a ghost. The hull was as dark as night, and under the moonlight, one could see the terrifying skull flag painted on the sail fluttering in the wind.

Then several more ships appeared in everyone's sight.

A little irritable.

This is a time to delay his progress.

Rand frowned, then asked the ship's acting captain.

The Ice Phoenix was given to Rand by the White King, and Rand himself was the captain of the ship.

It's just that Rand doesn't know how to sail, and it's impossible for him to leave the territory and sail around.

So there is an acting captain.

"Are there any weapons installed on the ship?"

"Some ballistae," the acting captain replied, "Our sailors are well-trained, so we don't have to be too afraid of pirates."

Rand certainly wasn't afraid of pirates.

"Can we have a boarding battle?" Rand asked.

"Sure." The acting captain responded. Although in his opinion, it would be easier to fight by long-range pulling and destroying some pirate hulls with crossbows, boarding battle is also possible. The hull of the Ice Phoenix is ​​very strong, and the sailors are experienced and good at fighting.

The Ice Phoenix also has arrow towers and frigates.

It is obviously suppressive to ordinary pirate ships.

I can only say that the other side probably didn't see clearly at night, so they dared to provoke me.

"Then get closer to them," Rand ordered.

There are quite a few pirate ships on the opposite side, probably some official pirates who have obtained letters of marque.

This kind of bandit is generally quite powerful, but if you mess with Rand...

Anyway, Rand is very confident.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Soon, the two sides were close enough.

I could already hear the other side shouting for them to give up resistance.

But Rand didn't want to hear it.

"Guards, stay on the ship." Rand ordered, then his voice became softer, and he said to the top leaders of the hideout, "Kill them all."

The Royal Guards are all land troops, and some of their mounts are seasick and not suitable for sea combat.

But now the top leaders of the den are all around him.

Anyway, Rand didn't think these pirates were more capable than the top leaders of the hideout.

As usual.

Olenna protects Rand.

The rest of the group attacked.

Lysa fired an arrow.

After the arrows were nailed into the pirate ships, vines grew out and formed a road connecting the ships.

Then Elsa clenched the [King of Killers] and activated [Bubble]

【Name: King of Killers

Type: Dagger x2 Ability: Bubble]

Since obtaining this weapon, Elsa has never had the opportunity to use its power.

Rand never does anything so stupid that he rarely gets into danger of his life.

Elsa's own fighting power is also quite high, and she rarely encounters a situation where she needs to burst out with her limit.

After that, an assassin like her won't be of much use in fighting the undead.

Well, now is the perfect time to start taking effect.

Now Rand is in a hurry.

Elsa's purple-black eyes seemed to glow in the darkness.

Lysa's vine arrows have paved the way for everyone.

Elsa tapped her toes.

The figure disappeared.

Then appeared on one of the pirate ships.

The night is the domain of thieves and assassins.

In the moonlight, Elsa's figure was elusive.

The attack was as fierce as a gale and as unpredictable as a drizzle.

One ship was quickly emptied of its living people, followed by the next ship.

Lisa's arrows connected all the ships on the sea, turning the sea surface into a spider web.

And Elsa is the predatory spider.

But Rand felt that Elsa might have overexerted herself.

Not only did it stun the enemy a bit.

It makes even my own people a little confused.

Originally, the shouts of killing were deafening.

A brutal string battle is about to break out.

Then suddenly a dark shadow appeared.

Then the pirates fell one by one.

Whether they stood up to resist or knelt down to beg for mercy, they all got the same result.

Wounds occurred in fatal areas.

The pirates were unable to react and had no countermeasures.

If this group of pirates, wearing armor, formed a formation on land, Elsa would not have much of a solution.

Or maybe some of the top brass in this group of pirates ambushed Elsa and she was blocked.

However, in order to adapt to fighting at sea, this group of pirates naturally did not wear armor or only wore leather armor.

They obviously don't have the top professionals, not even top professionals.

On the sea, battles between ships are not as difficult as on land, and it is not very difficult to form a formation.

Elsa passed by them, and with just a slight swing of her dagger, she could take a life.

In the darkness, it's like -

grim Reaper.

soon.

Everything fell silent.

Elsa, covered in blood, returned to Rand.

The crew of the nearby Ice Phoenix looked at Elsa as if she were a ghost in the light of the ship.

?

Is it over just like that?

The acting captain was a knowledgeable man. He also knew Rand and Rand's inspector Elsa.

The ultimate thief, or the ultimate assassin.

But Elsa's current behavior is a little beyond the acting captain's understanding.

"Do you need treatment to restore your strength?" Rand didn't mind the smell of blood on Elsa's body, and whispered in her ear.

"I'm fine, no thanks." Elsa refused decisively.

Rand did not ask any more questions. Now was the critical moment when the hideout was in trouble, and Elsa would not say anything nonsense.

"Keep going!" Rand ordered.

Following Rand's orders.

The vines that originally connected the ships like a spider web also withered.

The fleet set sail again.

The total time taken was less than half an hour.

Soon, Crescent Moon Port came into sight.

We sailed for a while longer.

The Ice Phoenix docked.

Then, Rand and his guards got off the ship.

Rand looked at the status of the guards.

A little helpless.

Not everyone is resistant to seasickness.

"Everyone in normal condition, step out," Rand shouted.

All the guards took a step forward.

"Don't try to be tough!" Rand shouted again.

Many people retreated.

Rand glanced among the guards one by one.

After confirming that there is no one trying to be stubborn.

Rand gave the order to set off.

Some horses and cattle also suffer from seasickness.

But flying cows and horses do not get seasick.

Overall, only half of Rand's guards were able to maintain combat effectiveness.

However, Rand did not intend to use his guards to solve the problem this time.

The undead are now a nuisance to the forces in the den.

But it is far from a life-and-death situation.

The worst outcome is almost impossible.

The worst case scenario is that the Bone Dragon and Karin are exposed.

This will limit the development of the Lunar Dukedom.

There will be difficulties later.

But that's it.

The best outcome would be that the Undead would be unable to break through the Crescent Territory's defenses.

Without Rand's arrival, Taner led his troops to defeat the undead army.

But the probability is not high.

When landing at Crescent Moon Harbor, the battle report in Rand's hand was updated.

It has been made clear that the Archbishop of the Scourge Cult has appeared in his territory.

The pressure on the front line is quite high.

Rand sat on the horse and controlled it to gallop.

The perspective then shifts to Crow Coke.

The timing was good.

Crow Coke has arrived at the bone dragon's residence.

…

The hiding place of the den.

A half-high obsidian tower.

[Bone Dragon's Nest]

A crow that was completely black and much larger than an ordinary crow appeared in front of the bone dragon.

The bone dragon raised its huge head.

A faint green fire ignited in the eye sockets.

Looking into the crow's jet-black eyes.

Then, the other two heads of the skull dragon were raised from the nest in the half-broken obsidian tower.

The smell of death is so strong that it seems tangible.

The crow spreads its wings.

Soar into the air.

The three-headed skull dragon also vibrated its wings.

Strong winds accompanied this giant beast.

The surrounding trees were knocked down by the hurricane brought by the bone dragon when it took off.

Under the moonlight.

A huge black shadow was surging in the clouds.
