Because the Chromatic Dragons and Metal Dragons had the intelligence of 'civilization,' they were generally not regarded as' magical beasts. '
Because of their beast-like intelligence, the Earth Dragons were not recognized by the flying lizards of the Dragon Island as one of their members. But in the natural order of the bewildering land, the Earth Dragons were undoubtedly at the top level. Physical resistance, magic resistance, destructive power, stamina, and speed were all beyond the reach of mere humans.
So when the people chased after the deafening roar and saw the huge and majestic figure on the hillside through the gaps between the treetops, most of them were scared silly. Only the guards of the Turtledove Alliance could remain calm. In their adventuring career, encountering an Earth Dragon was not the most dangerous moment.
The scouts at the front quickly retreated, and the vanguard team also sent the people who needed protection back and began to build a simple and crude position in front. If the Earth Dragon wanted to attack, it would have to cross a rather long downhill road. Unless this big guy planned to roll down, it could not be that fast. Those who were used to adventuring knew that it was easier to go up a mountain than to go down, and this was the same for the Earth Dragon.
Some of the guards in the middle began to retreat according to the original assignment, and the protected craftsmen and lumberjacks began to retreat. Some of the guards would become the fleeing vanguards. Their duty was to remove the obstacles on the escape path, and their importance was not lower than the people who stopped the Earth Dragon.
Apart from those who had the assigned mission, the others gathered around the guard leader. He walked past Uzov and directly instructed, "We don't have enough equipment to deal with that big guy. Let the retreat team follow the plan and protect the people. The rest stay and stop that big guy for an hourglass. I think this is already the limit. Then, boy, you take them away. — "
This was Uzov's name. His tone was unquestionable.
"— Also, Wheat, can you put away the thing in your hand and stop that big guy from chasing us? Or give it to a fast runner and try to lure that guy away? "
Although Uzov Gantia was the initiator and leader of this mission, when it came to war, he would only be a charging pawn in front of this guard leader. And with the current combat strength, the battle against the Earth Dragon would definitely be a tough one. So, of course, that person stood up and directly commanded everyone, and this was his original duty.
Uzov, who thought that he had retired from adventuring, was rarely hot-blooded in response to this big brother's order. He said, "Boss, my combat skills are not rusty yet. If you just throw me to take care of people, then I'll call you Boss for nothing. "
"Up to you. If you want to stay, then play a good role. "
After a simple conversation, they both looked at the Dark elves. Malcolm looked at the wooden box containing the ambergris in his hands thoughtfully.
The design on top of the box was the Earth Dragon, and the Dragon Dragon was the Dragon. As long as the small hole was closed, the smell of the Ambergris would be completely sealed inside. When the small hole was opened, the smell of the Ambergris would slowly spread out.
The Earth Dragon had probably smelled the scent of the Ambergris long ago, but it was unable to pinpoint its location. Therefore, in the past few days, the Earth Dragon had not been attracted. But in order to confirm the item in the box, he rashly opened the box, allowing the scent to spread without restriction. This allowed the Earth Dragon to quickly determine the target and appear in front of everyone.
Seeing that the Dark Elf was a little distracted, the guards were also dissatisfied with her attitude. It must be known that this was a moment of life and death, and no one was allowed to be in a daze and waste time. Uzov had no choice but to call out loudly: "Michael! What do you think of Boss' suggestion? "
The Dark Elf, who came back to her senses, looked at the people staring at her, and finally looked at Uzov. Handing the suppressed traitor to the others, Malcolm said, "This is an emergency, right?"
The guard leader said, "If you have time to ask this, I don't think it's so urgent."
"Ordinary people can't deal with it?"
"That's a dragon. Even Lord Greco can't deal with it alone. "Seeing the White Sword Saint slowly approaching from the rear, the guard leader said so.
"It's related to our safety?"
At this time, among the guards, the young man who supported the Dark Elf said, "Sister Mai. I think if you continue to ask, it won't be a matter of life and death. We have to change to consider what kind of death we want. "
"So, we can use it." She held the box with the ambergris in her left hand. Malcolm nimbly used her right hand and took out a silver metal object with a needle that no one had ever seen before from a brocade pouch. It was not as big as a palm and was quite small and cute. The only thing that everyone could be sure of was that it was a magic tool, but its strength was unknown.
However, for those who recognized this item, their faces were ugly as they looked back and forth between the Dark Elf and the object in her hand. Uzov bitterly cursed and then said, "Little cricket … You plan to use it?"
"Is there a better time than now?" Malcolm said as if she was replying to people, but also as if she was strengthening her own confidence. With a nimble turn of her fingers, she held the 'little cricket'. At the same time, she followed the steps and unlocked the safety, holding it high.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute! Don't shoot first. "Uzov said in exasperation. At the same time, he pulled the young scout with fast legs and said, "Tell the people in front to abandon the position and retreat to the sides. Don't look back, run as far as you can, and you too. You don't need to come back and report. After notifying the frontline, follow them and retreat to the sides. "
The young scout did not move. He only looked at the head guard. He was very clear that the person who had the most right to speak at this time was not the boss, but the big brother in the turtledove alliance, whom everyone trusted the most.
He knew that his actions were beyond his authority, but Uzov put one hand on Malcolm's hand that was holding the little cricket and pressed it down slightly so that she would not shoot so quickly. He said with a pleading expression, "Boss, I don't have time to explain. Quickly let the people in front disperse to the left and right, as far as possible. Come back when you're done. Believe me, please, even if you only believe me this once in your life, you must listen to me this time. "
The Earth Dragon that was moving its huge body and rushing down the mountain roared at the right time. The roar that was mixed with the Dragon's Might was more than just shocking. Compared to Uzov's puzzling request and the Dark Elf's inexplicable actions, the head guard instinctively wanted to refuse. However, for some reason, he nodded his head and made a choice that was completely different from what he had in mind.
The speed at which the vanguard dispersed to the left and right was not slow. Because the great enemy in front of them was an Earth Dragon, those who moved too slowly would only become the Earth Dragon's feces the next day. Although the content of the order was puzzling and contrary to common sense, everyone still followed it.
At the main group, Uzov did not care about his image and shouted loudly, chasing away all the people in front. Looking at the direction in which the Earth Dragon was advancing, there was no longer any obstruction. This unstoppable giant beast rushed straight towards Malcolm who was holding the Ambergris Incense Stick high. He completely ignored the small people that were running to the left and right, looking very delicious.
"Clear the path ahead!" Uzov shouted three times without caring about his image before letting go of the arm that was pressing down on Malcolm.
In fact, everyone did not understand why the head of the Technology Guild was acting so neurotically. Even Myr was the same.
However, the Dark Elf did not think about the reason, because the Earth Dragon was about to reach him. He raised the 'little cricket' in his right hand again and aimed at the incoming dragon. He did not deliberately aim. He meant that the target was so big. If he missed, he would not be an elf anymore.
The trigger was pulled!
A thin, almost invisible black ray of light shot out from the little cricket's needle-shaped muzzle and accurately penetrated the head of the Earth Dragon that was rushing down the mountain. The whole process happened in a flash and not many people noticed. Of course, it was not able to stop the Earth Dragon's advance.
Malcolm, who was full of anticipation, felt like he was about to collapse. She was unwilling to give up and pulled the trigger a few more times. However, it was a one-use weapon. It was impossible to fire a second shot.
However, Uzov, who had seen the power of the little cricket, was facing a great enemy. After the shot, he immediately pushed the Dark Elf to the ground and shouted to the surroundings, "Get down, get down and hold your head! Cover your ears and open your mouth! — — — "
Uzov tried to warn everyone and said what he thought was appropriate to deal with it. However, in the end, the words that he shouted at the top of his lungs did not reach anyone's ears. With the path of the black ray of destruction as the central axis, it produced a terrifying spiral suction from up, down, left, and right. It sucked in all matter in the area, including the air. Nothing could resist it.
The penetrated Earth Dragon also underwent a terrifying change. The point where the black ray of light entered the head was like the point of annihilation of all matter. It did not involve the flesh and blood of the giant dragon, but turned it into an inanimate spiritual substance bit by bit and then sucked it in and disappeared.
It looked like a thin hole that ran from the dragon's head to the dragon's tail and continued to expand outwards. There was no blood in the process of the rapid change, and there were no cries of pain. The Earth Dragon might not even be aware of it. Before anyone realized what was happening, the giant dragon's body disappeared before their eyes, leaving only four feet standing alone on the ground.
Then came a gust of wind from all directions. In order to fill up the large vacuum, it restored the balance of the environment in the most violent and wild manner. For those who were in the middle of it, the whistling of all kinds of wind filled their ears and the flying sand and stones attacked their bodies. The power was no less than a natural disaster, and no one could stand still.
At this time, everyone understood why Uzov told everyone to get down, but it was too late. Those who had tree trunks next to them could try to stabilize their bodies, provided that the tree was not uprooted. There was nothing to hold on to, so they became rolling gourds, dizzy from the strong wind.
In addition to being scratched by the sand, smashed by stones, and rolled on the ground, most people also felt intense pain in their eardrums. Some people even had blood coming out of their ears and noses. They were in a sorry state.
However, no matter how powerful a disaster was, it would eventually subside. When the natural environment was restored to balance, everything would be peaceful. As for the survivors … although everyone was injured, no one died, so they could be considered as all survivors. They resentfully got up and looked at everything after the disaster as if it was the end of the world.
