The king had completed his flyby of the emperor's army.
He found that many conscripted soldiers were so frightened by the dragon's might that they could not move and squatted on the spot with their heads in their hands.
This is an excellent target for attack. As long as you use the dragon's breath to "brush" it over, you can kill countless people.
But Wang didn't want to kill these people anymore. He had a better goal: there was a phalanx with a complete formation and no intention of dispersing.
There is no need to ask, this must be the emperor's main formation. The magician has given them a common set of protection against strong acid, so they are not afraid of dragon breath.
The king hovered in the air and carefully observed the army formation, and it turned out that the army formation had raised the emperor's flag. It seemed that they did not raise the flag just now because they were afraid of being attacked. After all, it takes time to cast the common defense magic.
Now it is estimated that the Emperor raised the flag in order to attract all attacks to himself and reduce the losses of the conventional troops.
The king saw lights constantly flashing in the formation, which should be various magical arts and spells that enhance the power.
The next moment, a rain of arrows shot from the army formation towards Wang. Unfortunately, in the first wave of attacks, most of the archers did not master the lead time for shooting. In the rain of arrows, Wang saw several arrows with colored smoke trailing behind them - these should be the targets for calibrating the shooting.
It seems that the emperor has a well-trained army.
I remember Bruce said that this was a strong army forged through the Southwest War.
This army must be destroyed here.
Thinking of this, Wang adjusted his flying speed, dodged a new wave of arrows, and rushed towards the army formation close to the ground.
Wang had a keen sense of hearing and heard the sound of the spell being cast. He immediately recognized it as the Dissociation Technique! It seemed that the Emperor was going to make use of the experience of the River Valley Army the night before!
Green light appeared and Wang wanted to laugh.
He just kept his dragon-like smile and rushed into the army formation - if the breath attack didn't work, then he would use the dragon's own body as a means of attack! Such a huge and heavy body smashed into the formation at such a speed, like ten of the largest trebuchets hitting the enemy formation at the same time.
The enemy used a spear to resist, but when the collision occurred, Wang aimed the thickest part of his body scales at the enemy, and the spear slipped directly on the scales and even broke!
A large number of enemies were knocked away, like grains thrown up by farmers when sifting rice in autumn.
Falling from such a height, these poor creatures were all dead when they fell.
However, the enemy's armor and shields were too heavy, and even a giant dragon could not directly break through the formation. The king heard someone shout, "Thorn where the scales meet!"
He immediately stood up, turned around and ran, ready to fly up and try again.
In a flash, a paladin jumped high and shouted, "For the Emperor!"
His sword shone with the light of the Weapon Covenant.
The black dragon is an evil creature, and the paladin is in a sense its nemesis.
But he shouldn't jump.
The king blew a breath, and without even opening the acid sac, he blew the paladin away. The paladin flew a long way and fell to the ground with a thud, motionless.
All those who were attacking the dragon stopped and looked at the paladin in the distance.
The paladin's helmet landed a step late, and bounced on his breastplate with a "ding" sound.
The king could no longer suppress his desire.
Dragons can talk.
Wang: "Wol, Wusa!"
He then realized that the dragon's "mother tongue" is Dragon Language, which only mages can understand, so he switched to Common Language: "This man obviously doesn't understand physics. When he flies in the sky, he is basically at the mercy of others. With the dragon's lung capacity, he can be blown away in one breath. Unless he fights back by farting."
After saying this, he was amused by his own humor and laughed out loud.
The most brilliantly armored man among the enemy shouted, "Kill it!"
The king ran quickly.
A dragon can move at a speed of 60 feet on the ground, which is beyond the reach of a heavily armored human. After gaining some distance, he flapped his wings and flew up, adjusting his direction in mid-air to prepare for another collision.
At this time, the sound of casting spells came from the ground again!
This time it’s the finger of death!
The king rushed towards the sound, and in a flash of green light, the dragon was unharmed.
The collision happened again, and this time most of the enemy soldiers were blown away - after all, a lot of them had been killed in the previous round of collision, and many of them had even lost their shields.
The giant dragon rushed directly to the man in bright armor, grabbed him with one claw, and flew away with its wings flapping.
The wizard next to the man hurriedly cast a spell, this time it was the Hellfire Ray -
A white-headed sea eagle swooped down from behind the wizard, and transformed into a brown bear in mid-air, like a mountain falling on top of him.
This time the magic the mage triggered was for teleportation. He disappeared in the blink of an eye and then appeared more than ten meters away.
He changed his target and fired a Hellfire Ray at the brown bear!
The brown bear turned into a sparrow, nimbly dodged the rays, and quickly flew away.
The ray that missed the sparrow hit the emperor's flag, and the flag and the flagpole caught fire.
At this time, a peregrine falcon turned into a humanoid on a small hill far away from the main camp, pointed at the burning flag and shouted: "The emperor has been kidnapped! Our army has been defeated!"
The terrified Stahl's conscripts turned their heads and saw the emperor's flag burning. They shouted in unison: "We are defeated! We are defeated!"
Chapter 64 Another Old Fox
When Bruce saw the dragon coming back, he never expected to receive this surprise.
When he saw the dragon throwing that thing down, he subconsciously thought it was a "tongue" that was caught to report the enemy's situation.
When the thing fell on the wall and groaned, Bruce drew his sword directly, and then he felt that the color of the armor of that thing was a bit gorgeous.
Bruce made a bold guess: "Your Majesty?"
At this time, the dragon landed on the other side of the relatively empty wall, scaring the guards on the wall half to death. Then the king turned back into a human and walked towards this side quickly with the glow stick.
Elizabeth went up to him and asked, "Are you okay?"
The king also seemed a little excited: "It's great! I also captured the emperor of Kuosania. Let me tell you, they set up a dense formation, used common protective acid to resist dragon breath, and then shot arrows at me."
Elizabeth grabbed the king's arm: "And then?"
"I'll just charge right into their formation, using the dragon's weight and speed. You know what I mean? Kinetic energy is equal to one-half mv squared!"
Elizabeth looked bewildered.
"Anyway, my kinetic energy is huge!"
Elizabeth: "What is kinetic energy?"
Wang: "That's it... you see, you were injured by the arrow, which means you were injured by the kinetic energy of the arrow. Kinetic energy is composed of speed and mass..."
Elizabeth: "Mass means...weight?"
"No, no, no, mass and weight are two different concepts. Weight will be different depending on the gravity, but mass is conserved. As long as there is no mass-energy conversion..."
Elizabeth smiled slightly and said, "I am a naive sorcerer. Please explain it in words that I can understand."
Wang scratched his head. "Well, anyway, I rushed over. Do you understand? Then I sent many people flying into the air. Their mages didn't have time to use Feather Fall, so they fell to their death. I immediately prepared to distance myself and attack from the sky again, but suddenly a paladin jumped up high and prepared to chop me with Holy Slash!"
Elizabeth grabbed the king's sleeve and said, "What are you going to do?"
"I blew a breath of air." Wang said with a smug expression, "He was blown away! Because he couldn't exert any force in the air. Unless he could fart to counter the air I blew, he would be helpless!"
Elizabeth was slightly surprised: "Fart?"
"Look, I knew you wouldn't care about me blowing a breath! But all in all, I didn't encounter any danger today. I prevented Disintegration and Finger of Death. Judging from the number of spells thrown at me, the enemy should only have one seventh-ring archmage."
Bruce glanced at the Archmage beside him: "If he attacks, it will be up to you to deal with him."
"Leave it to me."
At this time, the emperor, who was wearing gorgeous armor, groaned, raised his upper body slightly, and looked around.
The white-headed sea eagle that fell from the sky turned into a human form and stepped on the emperor who was about to stand up. Xiaobai put his hands on his hips and said, "I stopped his resistance! I want meat!"
Bruce ordered Merlin beside him: "Take her to eat meat."
Merlin: "Please follow me."
Xiaobai left happily, leaving the emperor feeling stepped on for no reason.
At this time, Cassander also came back, transformed into a human form and landed next to the emperor. He looked at the emperor's miserable condition, turned his head and said to Bruce, "The emperor's troops are in chaos because of the dragon's attack and the abduction of His Majesty. When I left, the conscripted soldiers had already collapsed. The paid mercenaries did not disband, but I think they don't want to fight anymore."
Bruce: "Mercenaries, sometimes fighting is just a show. I guess we will send the Knights to have a friendly fight with them tomorrow, and the battle will be over."
There are many tricks in the mercenary business. Sometimes when there are a large number of mercenaries on both sides, the war will become a war game. After a fair and impartial exercise, the losing side will simply surrender.
The defeated nobles would be taken as prisoners and then continue to enjoy noble privileges. There were almost no casualties in the entire war, and everything was conducted very decently. (*)
At this time, His Majesty the Emperor spoke while lying on the ground: "I need treatment. You know, I am still the Emperor of the Empire."
Bruce drew his sword with a cold face: "Do you think you are? I don't think you are. His Majesty the Emperor died suddenly from excessive blood loss before the dragon caught him back. This sounds reasonable."
As he said this, he took a step forward and raised his sword high.
However, the emperor looked fearless and even smiled.
Wayne grabbed his brother's sword and held the blade with his iron gloves: "No, Duke, you can't kill someone who has given up resistance. My creed does not allow me to remain indifferent."
The emperor laughed. "That's it, Lord Duke of Langdon. Not only can you not kill me, but you must entertain me with the etiquette of entertaining the emperor of the empire. Until the electors gather in your castle, deprive me of my crown, and judge my behavior.
"Indeed, I have failed militarily. But, young Langdon the Lion, your father was unable to defeat me in the court, so he had to endure hardships and plan for so many years."
The king turned his head and looked at the banner on the castle. He said in surprise, "So your family's emblem is blue and white with a lion holding a shield."
Emperor: "White represents the Shield Road, and blue represents the lions that come to the Enlan River and guard the fertile land. This is the Langdon family. Fertile land, generous trade tariff income, and developed handicrafts. Ah, it's really enviable."
Bruce stared at his brother for a few seconds, then put away his sword with a look of regret. He then said to Merlin, "Send a formal document to all the electors, saying that we have captured the Emperor of the Empire and the Duke of Styria. Once more than two-thirds of the electors arrive in Langdon City, we will convene the Imperial Grand Council. No one will be allowed to attend after this time."
On the other side, the holy warrior Wayne Langdon prayed silently, letting the holy light light up in his palm and began to heal the emperor.
The emperor began to cough violently.
Wayne suddenly realized what was happening and yelled, "Call the priest! Get ready to remove the disease!"
Bruce was silent for a few seconds before ordering the person next to him: "Call the priest over."
The emperor smiled again: "It's really nostalgic. Finally I'm back in the arena of strategy. I hope I can still be as good at it as before."
At this time, the king spoke: "You have made so many preparations for a remote and poor territory, provided so many well-trained troops, and found great wizards of the eighth and seventh rings. I think you have done a good job. But fate is not on your side."
The emperor looked at the king, then at Elizabeth beside the king, and said with a smile: "You must be the great wizard apprentice. The briefing that Tang gave me explained the whole story. No matter how thorough the plan was, it would be impossible to foresee that someone like you would be involved.
