Chapter 441: Advancing Shield Ankylosaur (Part 2)
The Ankylosaurus was indifferent to their arrow attacks, as if it felt nothing at all.
The fact is probably true. If you can't even penetrate the outer shell, how can you cause harm to the opponent? Li Ce frowned deeply as he watched this scene. While updating the information based on the situation in front of him, he was constantly analyzing it in his mind.
[The shell that covers almost its entire body has a high defense capability, and arrows pose no threat to it at all. 】
As his thoughts turned, Li Ce's sight fell on the huge footprint left by the armored dragon. It would be more accurate to say that it was a pit rather than a footprint.
[The body is heavy, no, very heavy! Otherwise the footprints wouldn't be this deep.]
[It moves very slowly, and it may not have the ability to accelerate. Otherwise, after being attacked just now, there is no reason for it to continue walking so slowly. ]
[To be honest, even if we weren't attacked, wouldn't it be better for the lizardmen if we could move outside our camp faster and launch an attack? ]
[So, it's not that this big guy doesn't want to walk fast, but he has no choice. It can only go this fast, which is probably caused by its own exaggerated weight.]
Following his train of thought, Li Ce felt a little encouraged after analyzing this point.
This is very important. Slow speed, inflexibility and slow movement mean that it is difficult for the enemy to pose a threat to mobile troops.
After sorting out this thought, it becomes self-evident what the main target of attack of this big guy is.
That is a stronghold camp that is slower than it, or simply cannot move! At this point, the image of the armored dragon suddenly became clearer in Li Ce's mind.
"Avoid the shell and try to hit the part of it that's not protected by the shell!"
In fact, Silk and Li Tie had already started doing this long before Li Ce spoke.
But the entire body of the Scutosaurus is almost covered by a thick shell. There is also a thick eggshell-shaped shell on its forehead, and even on its chin, there is a similar substance.
If this shell is compared to armor, then the Scutum ankylosaurus can be said to be armed to the teeth.
Under this premise, Silk and Li Tie thought about whether they could attack the opponent's abdomen. After all, in their impression, the abdomen of animals is generally fragile, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a weakness.
However, they soon discovered that although the Ankylosaurus was huge, its four legs were thick and short, which made its abdomen almost touch the ground.
This means that under normal circumstances, they would not be able to attack its abdomen at all.
There was no choice but to try to attack the gaps between the shells.
With this thought in mind, Silk activated Eagle Eye without hesitation, and then shot an arrow, accurately hitting the seam of the armor of the Shield-Armored Dragon, but it still could not change the fate of the arrow being bounced away.
"No! Even where this big guy is not covered by a shell, his skin looks very rough and thick, and the surface of his skin is covered with scales to provide protection. It cannot be broken by ordinary arrows!"
Silk's feedback made Li Ce frown even deeper. Obviously, the defense level of the Ankylosaurus was higher than he had imagined.
Or is it that their attack strength is too low?
Just as he was thinking this, Silk's voice sounded again...
"I can try to get closer and attack with the silver steel sword!"
Almost at the same time as he was speaking, Silk drew out his silver-steel sword and rode forward on his horse.
Although he had made the most rational judgment and analysis when Zhou Xu questioned him, after the fight, the opponent was a lizardman who had a grudge against them, which made Silk more active in the action than usual! At this moment, it was too late for Li Ce to stop him, so he simply let the other party go up and make further tests.
Perhaps because it was extremely confident in its defensive capabilities, the Ankylosaurus ignored them the entire time and just kept on going. It didn't care at all about Silk's approach, allowing Silk to get close to it easily.
The next second, he aimed at the gap between the armor and swung his sword down directly.
The recoil force from the sword's tip made Silk's palm numb, and the silver-steel sword almost slipped out of his hand.
At the same time, his eyes swept across the place where the sword had cut through. There was a fairly obvious cut mark on the armored dragon's scales, but it did not hurt the flesh underneath, which made Silk feel a little incredible.
"This guy's defensive ability is actually this strong?"
If Zhou Xu were here at this moment, he would not be surprised at all by this result.
The current situation is definitely a mismatch between professions.
The silver-steel sword in Silk's hand can be compared to a pistol, and the Ankylosaurus is equivalent to a heavy armored vehicle.
What effect can you have by using a pistol to attack a heavy armored vehicle? Individual soldiers should fight individual soldiers, and heavy armored vehicles are not within their scope of business.
"Okay, stop it! No need to keep attacking!"
In any case, ordinary attacks are obviously ineffective against this big guy, and Li Ce has already felt this very clearly.
"Since it can't cause any damage, there's no need to waste arrows and energy on this big guy. Just keep your distance and continue to follow it to make sure of its movements."
While speaking, Li Ce quickly organized the plan in his mind, then made the subsequent arrangements as quickly as possible and asked his personal soldiers to go and pass on the order.
The pterosaur riders flying in the air undoubtedly saw all the actions here, but they just couldn't hear what they were saying.
But for the pterosaur rider, this doesn't matter.
After all, in their opinion, the Ankylosaurus is basically invincible when it comes to attacking enemy camps and strongholds.
The only drawback is that the Ankylosaurus's speed is so slow that it makes him sleepy.
Fortunately, this plain was not very large, and even though the movement speed was slow, it did not take much time to successfully reach the outskirts of the opposite camp.
During this process, the pterosaur rider saw something being fiddled with outside the opposite camp, but he didn't take it seriously.
In his opinion, facing the powerful defensive capabilities of the Ankylosaurus, all resistance from the opponent would be useless.
At the same time, Li Ce and his group, who had been moving with the Ankylosaurus the whole time, ran away as fast as they could.
Then, there was a series of dull explosions. Six "arrows" that seemed a bit too huge to the lizardmen came from different directions with an almost exaggerated sound of breaking through the air and hit the target with lightning speed! (End of this chapter)
