Chapter 654 The Dead Soldier
The hot air rushed towards his face, mixed with the acrid smoke of sulfur. A large amount of sweat flowed from Lun's forehead, and emotions such as tension, expectation, and fear filled his heart.
He closed his left eye and held the steel crossbow to aim at the gap on the left chest of the wyvern. His finger was already on the trigger, ready to pull it at any time.
At this time, the bipedal flying dragon was less than 400 meters away from the dwarf, and it only took a moment for it to swoop over.
Bren knew that he only had one chance. If he could not accurately hit the heart and kill the dragon-blooded monster with one blow, then what awaited him would most likely be death!
Brun murmured to himself: "Father God Moradin bless you"
Looking at the flying dragon not far away, feeling the hot wind coming in the face, the dwarf's muscles tightened, and he held the steel crossbow. His hands were shaking slightly, and his heart was beating violently, as if it was about to break his chest.
Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters
It’s very close.
As long as one more breath passes, the wyvern will be within his confident range, Bren thought.
"Roar——"
With the earth-shattering roar, Smaug's figure grew bigger and bigger in the eyes of the dwarf warrior, almost occupying the entire field of vision.
"Dwarf, I told you before - you will pay the price!"
Smaug exhaled hot fire and steam from his mouth and nostrils, and his golden eyes burst into anger. He spread his wings and dived towards the dwarf with great momentum.
“Go to hell, dragon!”
And it was at this moment that Bren let out an angry roar and pulled the trigger with great determination. With a "click" sound, the tight crossbow string was finally released!
In an instant, the dwarf steel crossbow generated extremely strong kinetic energy, causing the black dragon-like fatal arrow to tear through the air, making a sharp explosion, and struck towards the left chest of the flying dragon. .
"Shua——"
Looking at the black arrow piercing the air, a burst of excitement appeared on Bren's face, and he had a strong premonition that as a legendary warrior His intuition was telling him: This black arrow is about to hit!
Sure enough, as the dwarf expected, under his precise control, the black arrow seemed to have eyes and headed straight for the gap on the left chest of the flying dragon.
The anticipation in Brun's heart was even greater. He seemed to have seen the black arrow pierce the skin without scale protection, pierce the thick flesh, and finally penetrate the huge and hot heart.
The huge thing in front of him would fall from the sky with a loud wail and crash to the ground
However, things did not develop as the dwarf expected.
Smaug was also keenly aware of the danger, but at this moment he was too close and had no time to dodge. He could only let the black arrow shoot into his chest.
But after noticing the target of the black arrow shooting, a strange smile appeared on the face of the flying dragon.
"Keng——"
The sound of gold and iron clashing filled the sky. After the black arrow shot into the gap on the left chest, the arrowhead was twisted and deformed, and the arrow shaft was even damaged by the strong impact. Turn into powder!
Suddenly, Bren's expression suddenly changed, and he was shocked: "How is this possible? I obviously hit it!"
"What on earth?!"
But It was too late at this moment, Smaug had already arrived in front of the dwarf accompanied by monstrous flames, opened his bloody mouth, and fierce fire spewed out from his throat.
Brun looked desperate and murmured: "This is impossible."
The hot wind hit like a tsunami. At the last moment of his life, the dwarf's eyes reflected the brilliant firelight.
"Boom——"
Immediately afterwards, Smaug breathed out with all his strength at a very close distance, and the furious dragon flames spurted out, engulfing the dwarf warrior and causing the entire arrow tower to burn. stand up.
But the leader of the flying dragon always kept Cassius's teachings in mind and understood the importance of last-hitting, so he jumped into the sea of fire and swept across with his front paws with wide wings.
Sure enough, Bren wasn't dead yet.
I saw that the dwarf warrior was burning all over, as if he was about to explode, making a crackling sound.
"Monster! I'm going to kill you——"
He let out a heart-rending roar, used his last bit of strength to raise the giant sword above his head, and swung it hard at the flying dragon 's head.
Smaug struck from the side with his front paws, knocking away the huge sword that was about to be chopped off. The dwarf warrior holding the sword was also knocked away, and his body was still burning. .
However, Smaug showed no mercy and swung his tail in mid-air. The sharp tail hook came through the air and stabbed the dwarf's chest accurately——
"Stab!"
The sound of flesh being torn was heard as the dwarf warrior pierced the strong, stocky body on the spot, blood splattering everywhere.
Smaug's movements were smooth and smooth, adhering to the principle of eradicating the roots and not giving the enemy any chance to resist.
His master, Ember Emperor Cassius, once taught him that dragon villains like them must not take these puny guys lightly and must crush them into pieces.
Until he died, Bren still had an expression of surprise and disbelief on his face.
——He clearly hit the target, how could it have no effect at all?
And Smaug lowered his head and looked at the gap in his left chest, feeling a little lucky, and his admiration and admiration for Cassius in his heart grew to a higher level.
If the black arrow had hit another part of the body, it would have probably caused fatal damage to him, but it was a pity that the unlucky dwarf chose the left chest.
Smaug sighed with admiration: "The master is really full of wisdom and wisdom. Fortunately, he has the adamantine armor he rewarded."
In fact, this is also a manifestation of Cassius's bad taste. In order to restore Smaug in his memory, he deliberately pulled out a scale from the left chest of the wyvern.
However, as compensation, Cassius ordered the imperial craftsmen to inlay a whole piece of adamantine armor in the gap between the scales, and specially painted it black so that others could not see it.
According to what Cassius vowed at the time, instead of waiting for the other party to take the initiative to find out his own loopholes, it is better to create the illusion of "weakness" to confuse the enemy.
It can only be said that fate is unpredictable. Unexpectedly, Cassius's unintentional move full of bad taste actually helped Smaug win on the battlefield and killed a legendary enemy.
“Roar——”
Smaug was perched on the top of the burning tower, raising his tail high with the dwarf's corpse hanging high, then spread his wings, raised his head and roared, making a roar that made the entire Avendeldan tremble.
“Lord Brun is dead!”
“That was the hero who killed the dragon! How could he die like this?”
“Moradin is here "How could there be such a monster!"
On the city walls of Avendeldan, the Ember Empire's offensive became more and more fierce. The dense firepower of the Empire's infantry and the dwarves were overwhelmed, and when they saw Brun dead, they The despair in his heart is even worse.
A legendary dwarf warrior died, and even his corpse was hung on the tail of the flying dragon as a trophy, proudly displayed to the dwarves. The entire Avendeldan was shrouded in thick smoke, the city walls were burning, ruins were everywhere, and the bodies of dwarves were piled everywhere. The roar of artillery fire continued one after another, the two-legged dragons roared in the sky, and ladders were erected on the city walls. On the top, countless soldiers swarmed in
Such a scene seemed desperate to the dwarves. For thousands of years, the city of Avendeldan has always been a symbol of tenacity and indestructibility.
The dwarves never imagined that one day in the future this fortress would become in danger and about to fall.
But at this moment, such a scene really happened in front of them, in the eyes of every dwarf.
After a fierce siege, the empire has occupied most of the city walls and is advancing in an orderly manner, and is about to completely invade Avendeldan.
The dwarves suffered heavy losses. Not only did they lose a legendary dwarf warrior, but even the original team of nearly 10,000 people was reduced to less than 4,000 people.
"We haven't lost yet!" Ed stood on the top of the tower, raised his war hammer high, and roared angrily.
This dwarf king was majestic, with corpses of imperial soldiers at his feet, and even a dragon-scaled monk who was so smashed that he could no longer see his human form.
To this day, the dwarves can still barely maintain their defense, mainly relying on the king's own strength.
"As long as one of us can stand up, as long as one of us can swing the hammer, Evindeldan has not yet fallen, and the mountain kingdom has not yet been destroyed!"
Ed rushed towards the dense bullets. Entering the Burning Ember Empire's position, the war hammer swung like a strong wind, dancing with rocks and flying sand all over the sky. He took away the lives of hundreds of people in an instant.
"Lord of the Mountains!"
6◇9◇书◇Bar
"Evandeldan will never fall!"
Seeing how brave the king was, the dwarf warriors were once again boosted in morale. They followed Ed countless times and launched a tenacious counterattack.
"Charge!"
"We will follow His Majesty!"
"Counterattack! Recapture Avendeldan!"
The dwarves waved The weapon in his hand followed Ed's steps and rushed towards the tower occupied by the Empire in front.
"Click, click, click—"
The muzzle of the machine gun stretched out from the window of the tower, constantly spitting out tongues of flame and pouring out bullets as densely as raindrops.
Ed can resist cannonballs with his body, but his people cannot do the same. They have no strong will, no tempered body, and no royal blood.
Soon, under the firepower of the imperial soldiers, the dwarf king rushed forward heroically, but the soldiers behind him fell one after another in the hail of bullets.
“Boom!”
Ed jumped up high and hit the tower hard with a hammer, immediately smashing the wall down and flattening the Imperial soldiers hiding behind the bunker.
“Fire!”
“Kill him, this is a dangerous person!”
The surrounding imperial soldiers immediately took out their pistols and gathered towards the dwarf king from different directions. Fire, but Ed burst out with majestic power and deflected the bullet instantly.
As usual, Ed stormed in with overwhelming force, killed all the enemies in the tower, and once again captured the position alone.
"We won!" After smashing the last half-dragon soldier on the tower with his warhammer, Ed turned his head excitedly.
Only this time, there was no one behind him, leaving only corpses everywhere. Those personal guards who accompanied him through life and death fell under machine gun fire and artillery bombardment.
Ed climbed to the top of the tower and looked around, only to see his dwarf people wailing in the flames and struggling in the thick smoke.
Under the sharp guns of the empire, the war was almost one-sided. The dwarf warriors were helpless and continued to lose their lives, while those imperial soldiers could easily occupy the towers one after another.
“It shouldn’t be like this.” Ed couldn’t help but shake his head. This was definitely not the ending he imagined.
In Ed's imagination, Avendeldan may fall, but he will be remembered by the people of Fianso Continent, and the heroic posture and unyielding resistance of the dwarf warriors will be talked about by people.
The mountain kingdom should not perish so easily.
You must know that the war has only lasted for two days so far, and the empire has overwhelmed the dwarves' defense.
Facing the imperial army, the dwarves' usual methods of dealing with the orcs were ineffective, and their resistance was like a joke.
In the eyes of the dwarves, Ed, as the Lord of the Mountains, has always been a symbol of omnipotence and invincibility, but this time, even he felt a little confused.
Faced with such an army - does their resistance really make sense?
But soon, a loud dragon roar echoed in the sky, interrupting Ed's thinking and making him nervous again.
"Ouch——"
I saw a flying dragon flapping its wings in the distance, creating bursts of hot wind, looking down at the dwarf king, with fighting intent in its golden pupils.
After killing the legendary dwarf warrior, Smaug felt quite swollen and felt that he was invincible.
——And soon, this bipedal dragon noticed the dwarf king Ed, who had caused huge losses to the empire. This was an opponent worth fighting.
Before this war began, Smaug had heard of this name, the powerful dwarf king, the noble lord of the mountains. But now, the two-legged dragon only felt that this was a huge credit.
"The Lord of the Mountains. Sounds really majestic."
Smaug couldn't help but lick his lips and blew out a puff of white smoke. If he killed this dwarf, he would definitely make his master Pay more attention to him.
Ed raised his head and stared directly at the two-legged dragon in the sky without fear, with the same desire to fight in his heart.
"It was this monster that killed Bren."
As the king, Ed couldn't be more clear about Bren's strength. Ed was particularly sorry for his death.
Bren not only developed a strong physique, but also traveled around and had rich combat experience. He once killed an adult blue dragon in the Talilor Desert and was respected as a "dwarf hero" by people.
Just from the huge size of more than 20 meters long, it can be seen that the flying dragon that killed Brun is definitely a difficult enemy. Even Ed will not take it lightly.
"Come on. I will kill you to avenge Bren and the people who were buried in the sea of fire!"
Ed clenched the metal war hammer in his hand and stared closely at the bipedal dragon, his eyes bursting with bright yellow light.
