Chapter 324 Dragon
The roar and fighting on the battlefield were pierced by cowardly screams, and the fear and trembling from ancient times were integrated into a short word.
"Dragon!"
The free men temporarily conscripted by the Empire and the serfs following the army of Bretonnia looked up at the sky with trepidation. Even the bloodthirsty Norse berserkers could not divert their attention.
What kind of monster was that? The knight's tall warhorse was not enough to hold its sharp claws, and the empire's warships were barely as big as the giant mountain in the sky. People were not afraid of giant warships, but when a creature as big as a giant warship approached, no one could remain sane.
At least they, non-professional soldiers, can't do that.
The airflow was broken by the giant dragon's majesty, and the dullness before a storm made it difficult for the militia on the warship to breathe. The calls of the captain and senior sergeants became vague noises in their ears.
Only then did they remember the Emperor of the Empire - they should call old Magnus to deal with this monster, instead of letting these poor people face the shadow cast by the dragon.
Apparently, the dragon had no interest in them, even though they were also on the same ship as the Chaos Champion.
Serkostek did not spray dragon fire in mid-air, because according to its past experience, champions who bore some kind of chaos mark were not afraid of fire, and the arrogant human below was exactly that kind of chaos champion.
Damage other than sword and force collisions would most likely be ineffective against him, but the dragon was not lacking in strength.
The Star Dragon crashed into the Chaos Champion like a dragonfly skimming the water. When it was about to land, it slapped the Chaos Champion with one claw, but the opponent blocked it with his raised battle axe.
The dragon's tsunami-like brute force accumulated in just a moment and exploded towards the Chaos Champion, but the existence in the flaming battle axe shook the Star Dragon first.
The flaming battle axe burned the star dragon's scales and flesh, and the overwhelming force of the battle axe thrown at the star dragon almost shattered its claws directly.
But its holder is ultimately just a human being. Even if the gods have endowed him with terrifying self-healing abilities, as well as strength and lifespan far beyond that of ordinary people, he is still just a human being.
The laws of physics constrain him, preventing him from performing supernatural acts that distort reality like a demon.
The great demon in the battle axe wants to wrestle with the dragon, and the Chaos Champion also wants to compete with the dragon, but Egil's environment does not support him to accomplish another dragon-slaying feat - the Imperials' ships are not strong.
Chief Egil was knocked onto the deck by the dragon's brute force, and the dragon continued to smash open the cabin, eventually penetrating the bottom of the ship and falling into the depths of the sea like a bullet.
Just as the Star Dragon was about to land on the deck, it turned back upwards with incredible agility and returned to the sky.
It didn't land, because the evil-minded dragon was in a rare playful mood.
It decided to respect the champion who "made the dragon afraid to land", and likewise, it would ensure that the champion would never come up again.
Serkostek paid no attention to the huge ship that was almost overturned by it. It was soaring in the sky, staring at the sea with a fierce look.
Once the Chaos Warrior returns to the surface, it sends it underwater to keep the Kraken company.
Next time it meets a Chaos Champion, it will give itself a title - it is the Chaos Champion who "makes dragons afraid to land", the dragons afraid to float to the surface.
Of course, as to whether the other party dares to do so or not, that depends on one's own opinion.
Anyway, the fact is that Chaos Chieftain did not return to the surface of the water. The Star Dragon made great contributions by diving and slapping the sea surface dozens of times in these few minutes.
Dragons always have such a bad taste, just like humans playing with ants, and have a sense of humor that makes dwarves cold.
If Grimm Yanmei were given another chance to choose, he would never come to Karak Dragoncliff Castle. Even if he wanted to come, he would have to call the sleepy Romon with him.
He came with several butchers to liberate the dwarf warriors of the Camilson family who had turned into zombies. Of course, they would take some rewards, which was reasonable and well-founded.
If they allow the dwarves bound in the castle to return to the arms of Valaya, then the castle's original dwarven clan should reward them for their bravery and devotion.
The butchers just need a little gold.
Things were going very smoothly before encountering the dragon. Chief Kamil finally gave up his stubborn existence under the persuasion of the butchers. After witnessing the butchers blow up the Kamilson family's vault and the entrance to the tomb, he voluntarily fell into sleep.
He only allowed Grimm and other dwarves to take away some golden tableware for entertaining guests, and the price was that the butchers had to swear to kill the descendant of the "Dwarf Butcher" dragon Golag, a fire dragon that occupied the lower level of Dragoncliff Castle.
The butchers took the oath out of a sense of honor and a desire to achieve great things.
Skaraf, the "Dragon Slayer" who killed the evil dragon Golag, has been sung as a hero in the dwarf kingdom for hundreds of years. Which dwarf doesn't want to be the protagonist in a saga story?
The butchers have weapons inlaid with the "Dragon Slaying Rune", so why not let the dragon slaying weapons play their due role? This is what they thought before encountering the dragon.
No dwarf told them that Gorag's offspring was a grown-up fire dragon.
Their archers' accuracy was not good enough, and they failed to hit the dragon's head directly with the dragon-hunting crossbow, which led to a long and difficult battle. After a fierce fight, only three of the eleven butchers who came with them were left.
The butchers are not afraid of fighting, even if they may be annihilated.
When the dragon trapped the dwarves in a half-collapsed cave, no dwarf would deny that they regretted taking on the mission.
If the dragon had simply greeted the dwarves with its ferocious claws and dragon fire, the butchers would never have lost their composure like this, but that cursed dragon somehow learned to "sing".
The not-so-pure Khazarid language echoed in the dark underground space. The irregular noise tortured the ears of every butcher. Even if they covered their ears with their hands, they could not block out the loud singing of the dragon.
The meteorite shield can block the dragon fire, the small space can confine the dragon, but what can block the high-decibel noise that tortures the eardrums? The battle to slay the dragon has become a war of attrition. Now it depends on whether the dwarves will collapse first or the dragon will bleed first.
The funeral of the Norse dwarves lasted for a day. After everything was over, Lynch declined the dwarves' invitation and watched the dwarves go to retake Dulong City.
He had more important things to do - he had to patrol Kislev, hunting down possible entities with evil intentions.
The ratmen in the Corrupted Pit were very suspicious, so Lynch planned to take a look when he headed south.
After that, he would go to the east to investigate the unusual movements in the Dark Land and the anomalies among the greenskins in the World's Edge Mountains.
Of course, the most important thing is to eliminate the vampires. Vampires have the greatest motive to steal the corpse of the god. As long as they are eliminated first, the crisis will be resolved.
