After some questioning, Suhlen had a clearer understanding of the giant dragon. His guess was right. It was indeed an elderly white dragon.
According to the barbarians, this elderly white dragon had come here from the north two years ago. After arriving, it immediately conquered a few surrounding tribes and united them into a tribe of about two thousand people.
After converting a group of dragon descendants, it went into a deep slumber. It was only a year ago that the white dragon woke up and began to move around.
The white dragon had attacked the city of Valatia because it wanted more wealth. After observing for a long time, it made its move. As expected, the city of Valatia was conquered by the white dragon, and all the wealth in the city was plundered. His followers, on the other hand, obtained a large amount of weapons and resources.
After understanding the situation of this white dragon, Suhlen began to prepare to slay it. This white dragon was not considered strong among the giant dragons. Its followers had been wiped out by Suhlen, and now only the dragon itself was left. According to various records, many giant dragons would enslave large numbers of servants and followers. The most successful example was the Red Dragon Queen in the south.
Giant dragons could enslave most monsters as their servants, including all Yaron species and even those weaker than them. Therefore, most of the time, when facing a giant dragon, it was not just a single dragon, but an entire army.
Take the Red Dragon Queen for example. She had several red dragons under her command, as well as numerous dragon descendants. She relied on her powerful strength to suppress the southern countries and make them tremble in fear. Every year, they had to pay her taxes. Even the churches of the gods were not willing to provoke her.
Many people thought that they could slay a dragon after reading some so-called strategy guides, but these people were usually killed by the dragon's servants at the first checkpoint.
As for the bards' stories of knights slaying dragons with the help of a group of companions, they were basically just rumors. If one wanted to slay a dragon, the first thing one had to face was its army of monsters.
Dragons would not be stupid enough to fight one-on-one with you. They would use all their advantages to fight. For example, if a warrior were to fight a dragon, he would be in a passive state. The dragon could fly, but the warrior couldn't fly. Arrows couldn't reach the dragon either. Only when the dragon swooped down would the warrior have the opportunity to attack. However, this opportunity often represented a great risk. If the warrior wasn't careful, he would die on the spot.
Moreover, compared to hand-to-hand combat, giant dragons preferred to use their dragon breath to destroy their enemies. For the winged dragons, they had complete strategic initiative. They could fight and leave as they pleased. When the dragons sensed danger, they would also flee.
Therefore, when a warrior or knight fought a dragon, the first thing they should do was to make it unable to fly. If they couldn't do that, then they should retreat as soon as possible.
Most melee classes were at a disadvantage in the air. There was no Combat Aura in this world that could allow Warriors or Sword Saints to fight in the air, unless they raised their strength to Advanced Legendary and mastered the Domain.
"All of you stay here. I'll go up alone," Suhlen said.
"Your Majesty, let us go together. Isn't it just a dragon? We have a dragon-slaying weapon to deal with it," a barbarian warrior said while waving a dragon-slaying spear.
This dragon-slaying spear was specially used to deal with giant creatures. The body of the spear was tough and sharp. There were barbs on the spearhead, and there was a blood groove on the side. When the spear stabbed down, the hook would latch onto the muscles and fascia. Once it was forcefully torn, it would cause an even more terrible wound. The blood groove on the spearhead would quickly drain the blood of the prey.
Suhlen thought for a moment, then said, "Those whose strength is below Tier 3 don't need to go. Those whose strength is above Tier 3 take the javelins."
"Remember, when facing a dragon, don't stand in a group. Spread out and pay attention to dodge. Don't fight the dragon head-on. You won't be able to win. It can tear you apart with a casual attack."
Suhlen picked up a javelin and held it in his hand. He continued, "Use these javelins to shoot."
"Don't think about attacking other places. Aim at its dragon wings. As long as it dives down, use the javelins to attack its dragon wings."
Dragons had a layer of tough dragon scales, and under the dragon scales was a layer of dragon skin. Its defense was very strong. However, the only part of its body that did not have dragon scales was its wings. Of course, it was said that there were no dragon scales. In fact, it was a layer of very small scales. Its defense was far lower than other parts of its body.
Of course, not all dragons relied on their wings to fly. They relied on a kind of spell-like ability. Many pure-blooded dragons' wings were only for auxiliary purposes. Even if their wings were injured, it would still not affect their ability to fly. However, the white dragon Suhlen was preparing to deal with now was not one of them.
Once the white dragon's wings were injured, it would definitely be unable to fly. At that time, the difficulty of killing the white dragon would be reduced by half.
In fact, Suhlen also had other ways to deal with the white dragon. For example, he had the Hydra's venom in his hands. Although the dragon's poison resistance was very amazing, the Hydra's venom was not ordinary. Even a dragon would not be able to withstand it.
However, in this way, the blood in the white dragon's body would be contaminated and basically lose its value. Even the dragon's flesh and other parts of the dragon would be seriously affected.
It could be said that even if the dragon was successfully killed, only the dragon scales and dragon skin would be of some use. To Suhlen, this was basically a waste of 90% of the dragon's materials. The Hydra's venom was not that easy to remove.
Suhlen led the two teams of warriors and carefully climbed to the top of the mountain. The higher they went, the lower the temperature. Although part of it was due to the climate and environment, the more important part was the radiation of the dragon's body.
Soon, the ground under their feet began to be covered with snow. The mountain peak became steep and slippery. A thick layer of ice covered the top of the mountain. This was not naturally formed. It was the effect of the white dragon's breath. The white dragon was born with the ability to walk on ice. It could walk on ice as if it was flat ground. On such a steep and slippery ice layer, if one was not careful, one would slip and fall. One should know that this was the top of the mountain. If one were to slide down from here, even the Barbarians' physique would not be able to withstand it.
"You guys can stay here." Suhlen looked around and said. The space at the top of the mountain was narrow and there was almost no shelter. There was also a layer of ice covering the mountain. It was very unfriendly to others.
"Find a place to hide. If you have the chance, use the javelins to attack the white dragon's wings. At the same time, remember to protect yourselves!" Suhlen finished speaking and walked directly to the top of the mountain.
"Greater Invisibility!" A light flashed and Suhlen's figure completely disappeared.
"Erase Traces!" Another light flashed and even Suhlen's footprints and smell disappeared.
After hiding, Suhlen began to approach the white dragon's nest.
The white dragon's nest was very steep and covered with a layer of ice. The entire mountain wall was very smooth. The cold wind whistled at the top of the mountain. It would be a problem for ordinary people to even stand, but for Suhlen, it was not difficult at all. With a walk on the ice, Suhlen walked on the ice as if it were flat ground.
At the top of the mountain was an open platform that was smooth and flat. Dragons usually took off and landed on this platform. Because of their weight, dragons preferred to fly from high places. It was difficult for them to take off from flat ground.
As soon as Suhlen arrived, he felt something strange. An invisible pressure enveloped him. This pressure made his heart beat faster and made him nervous. The hair on his body stood on end, giving him a creepy feeling. Suhlen had experienced this feeling before. That was when he was in the Fire Elemental Plane and the Red Dragon Onyxvia.
"Draconic Aura!"
A word popped up in Suhlen's mind. The Draconic Aura disappeared as quickly as it came. After a breath, this Draconic Aura had no effect on Suhlen at all.
This white dragon's Draconic Aura was not very strong. At best, it was similar to Onyxvia's. Onyxvia had just entered adulthood. Although it was two years younger than this white dragon, as the strongest Red Dragon among the Pentashade Dragons, its Draconic Aura was far stronger than that of a white dragon.
The most troublesome thing about killing a dragon was its Draconic Aura. This was a natural ability that existed from birth. As time passed, the Draconic Aura would become stronger and stronger.
Draconic Aura was very important to a dragon. They could easily enslave a large number of monsters with their Draconic Aura. At the same time, when facing a large number of enemies, it could intimidate the enemies. Those creatures with weaker minds and weak wills would not even have the courage to attack.
Ordinary people could not withstand Draconic Aura at all. Even professionals would have to go through a Test of Will. More than 80% of professionals would not be able to withstand it. Therefore, there was no need to think about using human wave tactics to deal with a dragon.
In fact, the more powerful and high-end the battle, the higher the requirement for Will. In a battle of this level, there would often be a need for a Test of Will. Many of the Wizard's control spells also required a Test of Will. Once the Test failed, the target would be controlled by the spell.
The more powerful the monster or demon, the more likely it was to have this kind of control spell. For example, the Succubus Queen in the Bottomless Abyss. Her Seduction spell could not be resisted even by high-grade legendary figures. Once the target failed the Test, they would be controlled by the Succubus Queen.
When he came to the platform, Suhlen quickly found the white dragon's nest. Before he got close to the nest, the dragon's nest was not deep. Suhlen saw the target at a glance. It was a huge white dragon.
This white dragon was at least 30 meters long. Its scales were smooth and had a layer of mirror-like silver-white. It had sharp claws, sharp bone spurs, and a small mountain of gold treasures under its body. It was very similar to a powerful dragon.
The wealth possessed by a dragon also represented the dragon's strength.
