Just as Paglio stood up, an angry roar came from a distance.
This voice was so loud and clear that it could pierce through one's soul. The knights felt their hearts palpitate, and their sword-wielding hands trembled as they clutched their chests, revealing expressions of discomfort. Even Projo and the two Saint-leveled experts were no exception.
Chen Rui was not affected because of Dodo and Rolla's "protection".
Paglio snorted coldly and let out a deep roar. Dragon Roar.
Although this dragon roar was not very loud, it carried an incomparably powerful power. It completely defeated the strange power of the opponent's roar, and everyone's abnormality suddenly disappeared.
The angry roar immediately found the direction of the dragon roar, and it approached in the blink of an eye. Paglio's figure flickered and disappeared from the top of the carriage.
In the blink of an eye, the night sky in the distance lit up with a dull sound, accompanied by angry roars and violent collisions. The moonlight in that space became distorted, and one could imagine what kind of fierce battle was taking place.
Chen Rui concentrated his eyesight and gazed over. He saw Paglio fighting fiercely with a figure. The man had silver hair, wore black full-body armor, and held a dark red sledgehammer. His strength was comparable to the poison dragon who had reached the middle stage of the Kingdom, but his figure was surprisingly short. A dwarf!
Chen Rui suddenly remembered that this area was the location of the Black Rock Mountain Range. When he and Ina's Iron Shield Mercenary Group went to Garton City, they passed by the Thick Earth Castle, which was the dwarf's territory nearby. In a forging to prove his skills and innocence, Chen Rui realized the quasi-grand master of mechanics, made a friendship with the Dwarf King Ofuge, and accepted the Sacred Leaf badge to represent the Hill Dwarves in the Emerald Forest Sea.
The dwarf who was fighting with Paglio should be a super powerhouse of the dwarves guarding the hill. Generally speaking, dwarves would not take the initiative to attack humans unless it was out of self-defense. Why would they attack him, the prince of the Holy Empire?
At this time, there was a heavy and overall sound in front. It was the sound of footsteps. It seemed that a large number of enemies were approaching.
"Dwarves! It's the elite shield warriors of the hill dwarves! "The scouting knight in front rushed over and reported," There are thousands of them! "
The knights were all moved, and Proyo revealed a solemn expression. The dwarves were very good at close combat. The elite Shield Warriors were the main infantry force of the Dwarf Race, and their combat power was even above that of the Dragonscale Army. Moreover, there were more than a thousand of them, and there were definitely some Saint-level experts among them. There was a great disparity in strength and numbers. Their supra elites were being held up, and their chances of winning were almost zero.
Proyo immediately ordered, "Immediately clear the path of retreat behind us, abandon the carriages, and retreat at full speed in the direction of Chaoyang and Shao Kingdom!"
Using the speed of the warhorses to shake off the dwarves was the only way out.
"This is bad! General, there are many enemies rushing out from the mountains behind us. It's the Bear Cavalry of the Hill Dwarves! We're surrounded! "
The Bear Cavalry was a unique cavalry of the Dwarves. Their mounts were not war horses, but war bears that the Dwarves raised. They were fierce and violent, had strong offensive and defensive abilities, and were best at fighting in the mountains. They were a natural deterrent to war horses.
"Damn it! The Hill Dwarves have actually colluded with the assassins! "Proyo gritted his teeth and said," The situation is extremely critical now. We can only take the risk and break through! I will lead the warriors of the Dragonscale Army into two teams of cavalry to distract the main force of the dwarves. Beddle, Cador, and the Guardian will protect His Royal Highness and wait for an opportunity to escape up the mountain! "
Proyo's decision was equivalent to sacrificing himself and the elites of the Dragonscale Army to cover for Chen Rui's escape. Beddle and Cador were moved at the same time. Chen Rui suddenly said, "I think that the dwarves are not necessarily the assassins' accomplices. There must be some misunderstanding here."
"No matter what, His Highness must first get out of danger!" Proyo frowned. "Every minute we waste, His Highness will be in greater danger!"
"You are all the most loyal and heroic warriors." Chen Rui shook his head, "I won't give up your lives in order to escape. Besides, it's not the time to despair yet. Projo, I order you to immediately send someone to try to contact the dwarf's shield warrior in front. If you can't communicate, retreat immediately."
"His Highness! Now is not the time … "
"This is my order!"
Proyo sighed and lowered his head. "Yes, sir."
The surrounding knights clenched their swords tightly. No matter what, this Third Highness had already won everyone's respect by staying behind to live and die with them. Even if they had to shed their last drop of blood, they would still stand in front of His Highness.
Soon, the knights sent out at the front quickly spurred their horses and reported, "The dwarves have not responded at all. They are only continuing to advance, full of hostility."
The knights who were scouting at the back also reported, "The Bear Cavalrymen have spread out to form a semi-encirclement and are approaching!"
The heavy footsteps in front were getting clearer as if they were stepping on everyone's heart. There was also a faint roar of beasts behind. The knights' hearts were heavy. Chen Rui's expression remained unchanged. Rolla gently leaned on his shoulder as if she didn't hear these sounds. Sir Dodo's morale was high. Finally, it's my turn to show off. These soft persimmons are really giving me a handsome uncle … What is it called in the magic game? That's right, farm merit points!
The elite Dwarven Warriors with Big Shields appeared in the sight of the knights. The dark teams were all heavy infantry wearing heavy armor and holding steel shields and battle axes or warhammers. Although they were generally short, they caused great pressure to the humans.
The knights at the back were even more nervous because the horses had shown varying degrees of shock, which meant that the dwarves' war bears were approaching. Although these knights were the elites of the Dragon Scale Legion, the Dragon Scale Legion was not the strongest Dragon Claw Knight Legion after all. Facing the war bears that were naturally restrained, even the well-trained warhorses could hardly suppress their panic.
"We can only fight to the death! Your Highness, I'm sorry that I can't escort you to your destination. "Proyo pulled out his long sword. His eyes were full of fighting spirit to the death.
"Don't move without my order." Chen Rui walked up slowly, took out a device that seemed to be a magic loudspeaker, and began to shout, "Dwarf's war hammer, why are you pointing at your friend? I am a good friend of the late grand master, Rick! "
The dwarven army seemed to have received some order and stopped.
A black-bearded dwarf who seemed to be the commander walked out of the team, "Despicable and cunning humans! The dwarves will no longer believe you! "
"I think you've misunderstood something. You're Takelin, right? I've heard Rick talk about you before he was alive. You're a good drinker, and once you almost burned off your beard for drinking."
"How do you know?" The black-bearded dwarf was taken aback. Seeing the strange looks in the eyes of the dwarven warriors behind him, he quickly corrected him, "Nonsense, I was careless when I was forging …"
The story of Takelin's beard was actually learned by Chen Rui from Ina in the dwarven Thick Earth Castle last time. This time, the black-bearded dwarf was caught off guard, and the oppressive atmosphere eased a little.
Chen Rui took the opportunity to say, "Dwarf friend, my destination was Garton City, but I was ambushed by assassins here just now. You can see that there are roadblocks and corpses here that have not been completely cleared. I am not afraid of war, but I am not willing to be the target of this fellow! I hope that my dwarven friends can sharpen their eyes and see clearly who is a friend and who is an enemy! "
Takelin hesitated for a moment, and another angry voice sounded in the distant sky, "Don't believe his sophistry! This Dragons clearly have terrible poison power, and they must be the ones who poisoned them! Kill all those humans first, then go to Thick Earth Castle and inform Takelin to come and take down this poison dragon with me! "
Poison? When Chen Rui heard these two words, he immediately understood the possible changes that might have happened in Thick Earth City. The poisoning of Thick Earth City, the ambush of the squad, the attack of the dwarves … All these things were connected and formed a whole chain of events. Even if the poison dragon's poison power was just a coincidence, every part of this incident was definitely not a coincidence. This was a carefully planned killing!
The dwarf in the distant sky suddenly changed into a huge … dwarf, which meant that his entire body had become much larger, but his body proportion had not changed. He still had short arms and short legs. The iron hammer in the dwarf's hand turned into a pure flame, almost as dazzling as the sun, and its power surged.
Not to be outdone, Paglio turned into a huge poison dragon wearing heavy armor, and the battle between the two sides became more and more intense.
The strength of this dwarf was at the same level as Paglio. Logically speaking, as a Dragons, Paglio had the star-sealing, star-strengthening power, and quasi-divine equipment like the Overlord Armor, he should have won easily. However, the dwarves had a very special talent, which was to double their combat power against giant creatures. In other words, the bigger the creature, the stronger their combat power. With this talent, the dwarf was evenly matched with Paglio, and it was difficult to tell who was superior for a while.
As soon as the dwarf powerhouse said this, Takelin no longer hesitated. He immediately returned to the team and issued an order to attack. The shield-wielding warriors in front began to charge, and the bear cavalrymen behind quickly surrounded them. At the same time, several special breaths firmly locked onto the two Saint-level guards, Beddle and Cador. They were obviously the Saint-level dwarves.
There was no doubt that this was a dead end. The palms of the Dragonscale Legion's knights were sweating while holding their swords. The only exception was the Chen Rui couple and the slime.
"Dodo, don't move." Chen Rui stopped the slime who was eager to farm "merit points" and said to Rolla, "My most beautiful and moving Miss Guardian, please make a move. I don't want to see casualties, uh … including the two guys in the air who are delaying us."
"Oh." Ms. Fairy Dragon glanced at him with a smile. She was obviously satisfied with his adjectives. Under the surprised gaze of a group of knights, she slowly stood up straight.
