Chapter 15, Rabbit Girl Fights Yanlong
During the migration and exile, the survivors of Gota Village gradually gathered refugees from several other villages. Some were also washed away by the alien flood on the other side of the "Gate", and some were displaced from Arnus. The defeated soldiers who escaped from the hills looted and massacred villages. Some of them were caused by landslides caused by heavy floods, and entire villages collapsed from the hillsides... In short, they were all poor people who could no longer live their lives.
However, when they arrived at the intended destination of this escape journey, an elven village located in a mountain forest, what they saw was black smoke rising into the sky, a blazing sea of fire, and a beast with wings on its back. The huge monster is spitting fire crazily in the direction of the elf village!
O gods! It turned out to be Yanlong coming out! Seeing this tragic scene, everyone present screamed in despair.
In the myths and legends of various races in the Falmat continent, the Flame Dragon, which is as huge as a hill, can soar in the sky, and spit out deadly flames, is a terrifying beast that looks like a moving natural disaster. This thing is not only ferocious and bloodthirsty, but also feeds specifically on humans, orcs, elves and other intelligent beings: just look at the huge size of the Flame Dragon to know how many people this guy has to eat in one meal... so , every time Yanlong wakes up from dormancy and goes to the civilized world to "hunt" to satisfy his hunger, wherever he passes is a scorched earth purgatory, mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
In order to avenge their hatred and free their people from this terrible nightmare, warriors of all races in the Falmat continent have racked their brains and made countless attempts to slay the dragon from ancient times to the present - sneak attacks, poisoning, and magic. They tried all kinds of traps and tricks, but every time they ended in miserable failure. Even the Royal Dragon Knights of the Imperial Air Force who ride bipedal pterosaurs are as vulnerable as toys in front of the behemoth Flame Dragon.
Fortunately, although this flame dragon is terrifying, there are only one or two in number, and they do not multiply wildly. And it seems that due to its racial characteristics, the Flame Dragon will sleep for decades or even hundreds of years, so for the vast Falmat continent, it seems to be barely bearable.
However, if one day the Flame Dragon really comes to you unfortunately, then... nothing can stop the nightmare and destruction from coming!
——After burning down the elven village and eating a feast of elven barbecue, the still-unsatisfied Yanlong noticed the refugees wandering nearby, so he immediately roared over and started hunting from the air... Under the flames of the dragon's fire breath and In the face of the hunt, almost all of the few survivors among the refugees, as well as Lelei's teacher Magister Gato, died in the battle. The seemingly magical magic still has no effect in front of the huge Flame Dragon.
The anxious Lelai and the old village chief of Gota Village took the remaining women and children to hide in Tibet, but it seemed that they could not delay for long.
Fortunately, at this almost desperate moment, two female priests of the Headhunting Rabbit Clan suddenly appeared and used "magic" and "artifacts" to help them repel the Flame Dragon's attack and save the few who were not dead. Hundreds of people. Next, these survivors dug out the food stored by the elves from the ruins of the elf village, and rescued Dujia, the only surviving female elf, from the village well, and finally settled down temporarily.
However, the tragic misfortune did not stay away from these poor people. Not long after, Yanlong, who had healed his injury, came back again, trying to take revenge on the ants that had injured him. The villagers who were caught off guard immediately suffered heavy casualties. Those who survived had to hide in the cave. At the same time, the two headhunting rabbit priestesses took the initiative to step forward and diverted the pursuit of the Flame Dragon. Only then did Lelai and the others in the cave escape again. Disaster.
However, Lelei La Lena, a young magician with aqua-blue hair, was also at a loss as to where to go next.
——The crops and fruit trees in the fields are all gone, and the food left is only enough to last for another half month at most. Relying on hunting and collecting mushrooms and wild vegetables is definitely not enough to feed so many mouths. The road leading to the prosperous plains outside the mountains was blocked by a huge flood from the sky. If Lelai and the old village chief were allowed to take such a large group of old, weak, women and children to escape over the mountains and ridges, it is estimated that among the last ten people No one may survive.
Of course, compared with the above distant worries, the most imminent threat is still the flame dragon that appears in the sky. If they were unlucky, everyone in the cave would have no hope of seeing the sun the next day... Thinking of this, Lelai couldn't help but sigh again.

"...Ouch - roar -"
"...Go to hell! Big monster! Da da da da..."
Among the deserted mountains, a furious giant reptilian monster was soaring in the low sky, swooping down from time to time, spitting out a ball of flames that could melt steel on the ground, burning a huge scorch mark on the ground. The huge size, ferocious bone spurs, red scales, and the flames spitting from its mouth all prove how fierce and terrifying this "winged Godzilla" is.
However, just in front of it, on the ground, two petite figures were jumping around without fear. While avoiding the flame dragon's breath with dexterity and jumping ability that far exceeded that of ordinary humans, they also jumped from time to time. He used weapons to counterattack in the air, shooting out a series of dazzling bursts of fire on the flame dragon's belly and wings, which also stimulated the bad-tempered beast to become even more furious.
"...What the hell! This flame dragon is actually harder to fight than an armored ship!"
After emptying a magazine of bullets, looking at the flame dragon that was still almost intact, except that its abdomen was slightly blackened, Daiya, the rabbit-eared girl in military uniform, muttered in disbelief - you know, the weapon in her hand It is not an ordinary firearm, but a legacy left by a veteran reincarnation man in infinite space. It is a powerful bolter equipped by future space warriors in the world of "Warhammer: 40K". Each ammunition is propelled by a rocket, and it can be fired with one shot. A terrifying thing that can blow up a heavy tank. But now, when it hits Yanlong, it can't even penetrate the dragon's skin, and not even a drop of dragon's blood spills out!
There is no way, as the ultimate nightmare in the world of "Fantasy Self-Defense Forces", this damn Flame Dragon is so rough and thick-skinned. The Mohs hardness of its scales is as high as nine, which is only slightly worse than the hardest diamond. The defensive power is roughly equivalent to 200 mm thick modern composite armor, equivalent to about 460 mm armor steel, and one meter thick ordinary iron plate - think about it! The iron plate is one meter thick!
Such an exaggerated defense capability can no longer be described as a flying tank - this is simply a flying Yamato battleship! ! !
Obviously, the bullets fired by ordinary heavy machine guns are nothing more than drizzle to Yanlong. Even if it is a small-caliber 25mm machine gun, it will not hurt or itch if it hits Yanlong's scales - the power of a shell of this caliber, even if it is an armor-piercing projectile, is enough to fight an infantry battle at best. For a car, penetrating twenty to thirty millimeters of armored steel is the limit. The attack on Yanlong, whose defensive power was comparable to that of the Yamato, would not leave even a trace. Even if you want to rely on air-to-air missiles or surface-to-air missiles to deal with Yanlong, it is still very difficult:
First of all, as an animal, Yanlong's agility in the air far exceeds any helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft made by humans, and it can easily dodge incoming missiles. Secondly, both surface-to-air missiles and air-to-air missiles mainly rely on high-speed fragmentation to kill basically unprotected aircraft. Once you encounter a heavily armored target with thick skin like Yanlong, you will be a bit blind. Even if you explode it directly on the dragon's skin, it may not have any effect. Then, anti-tank guns and anti-tank missiles that sell armor-piercing armor can theoretically compete with Yanlong, but neither of them is designed to attack highly flexible air targets - tanks cannot. Flying up and down at high speed like Yanlong, it is already very difficult just to successfully aim and lock on it. As for the hit rate after shooting, it is absolutely tragic.
In short, in the face of "out-of-specification" combat targets like Yanlong, most of the weapons developed by humans are in the awkward dilemma of "those that can hit the target cannot break the defense, and those that can break the defense cannot hit the target"... …Um? What, you said that Lieutenant Yohji Itami, the protagonist of "Fantasy Self-Defense Forces", successfully blew off one of Enryu's claws with only a shoulder-mounted individual anti-tank missile? So this Flame Dragon doesn’t seem to be that difficult to defeat?
Hey, first of all, don’t forget, it was because there was a sub-god Lolita who was in charge of death and war, and he blessed his anti-tank missile with divine power, so that it could miraculously hit the target. Secondly, Yohji Itami uses the most powerful 100-millimeter-caliber anti-tank missile, which itself has amazing destructive power that can penetrate the armor of old battleships. In the end, he was blessed by the halo of the protagonist, and in the end he was not able to kill Yanlong. He only scared it away temporarily. It is even difficult to say whether Yanlong was scared away by him or by Yashen Loli. of...
In addition to its thick skin and durability, what gave the two visitors from another world a headache was the terrifying resilience of the Flame Dragon - the last time the Flame Dragon was beaten away in the ruins of the Elf Village, this giant beast was not unscathed. Lossless: Before Cai Rong and Da Ya joined the battle, one of Yanlong's eyes had been shot blind by the dying elf archer. Next, due to Daiya's long-range sniper attack, Yanlong's other eye was also blown out, and he immediately became a blind dragon. Apart from stumbling and flying away in the dark, he could no longer show off his power to the mortals on the ground. .
Unexpectedly, this guy's recovery ability is really amazing. Yanlong's two eyes were obviously blinded at that time, but now they are all restored to their original state, and his vision and observation are even sharper than before. Even though Cai Rong, the rabbit-eared lolita, was a half-baked onmyoji, she used a lot of disturbing and confusing magic spells in the battle. At best, it delayed the battle for a while, but in the end, she still couldn't get rid of Yanlong's aerial pursuit.
As for the various shikigami thrown out by her, they were like moths flying to the flame in front of the majestic mountain-like Flame Dragon. Whether they were Inugami, Iron Rat, Guanhu, or Nekomata, they were all struck by a breath of dragon breath in the blink of an eye. It was burned to ashes... As for the more powerful shikigami, she really didn't have any in her hands.
Such an encounter made the two otherworld travelers really complain - the plot characters who originally approached Gotta Village and the Elf Settlement (the young magician Lelei and the surviving female elf Dujia, etc.) , in order to get a little bit of the luck of these important plot characters. Unexpectedly, in the end, the characters in the plot did not share even a little bit of their good luck, but they provoked such a cruel evil god! ! !
Fortunately, it seems that due to conflicting attributes, Yanlong hates humid environments, let alone diving into water.
Therefore, the two rabbit-eared girls tried hard to escape to the flooded area of the flood. But I don’t know what happened today. The flood that had been flowing in the valley for four months suddenly became much smaller. The canyon that was originally completely submerged by the torrent has now emerged from the water again and turned into a wet swamp... For the mountain people whose homes were submerged by the flood, the subsidence of the flood is certainly good news. But for the two rabbit-eared girls who were rushing to escape from the claws of the Flame Dragon, such a sudden change was simply fatal!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"...Ouch - roar -" Accompanied by a terrifying roar that seemed to make the sky shatter and the earth cry, a ball of blazing flames fell from the sky, and in an instant, the small piece of mud where the fireball hit directly burned it into crystal. Crystal clear glass.
Although before the dragon's breath came, the two rabbit-eared girls had already jumped dozens of meters away and successfully avoided the attack range of the fireball, but they looked back at the bright reflection of the newly cooled silicide on the ground. Despite the light, and the flame dragon still flapping its wings in the air, the two of them could not help but feel their hair stand on end, feeling as if the furry tail behind their buttocks was about to be scorched.
"...It just can't go on like this! The scroll of [Substitution Technique] is gone! Yaya! How about we split up and try it out!"
Cai Rong, the rabbit-eared lolita, rolled her eyes and suggested breathlessly. And Dai Ya, the bunny-eared girl in military uniform, had no choice but to nod in response. While continuing to shoot at the Yanlong, she jumped and flew away in the other direction... However, Cai Rong was surprised next. Suddenly, he discovered that the flame dragon in the sky did not chase after Daiya who was still shooting at it, but rushed straight towards him!
Looking down, Cai Rong understood what mistake she had made - at this time, Dia was wearing forest combat camouflage uniform, while she was wearing COSPLAY Inaba Emperor's pink dress. Which of the two is more conspicuous among the densely wooded mountains and forests is naturally obvious.
Therefore, Yanlong, who was flying in the sky and had limited ability to recognize the ground, naturally followed Cai Rong!
"...It's a long time to die! Don't turn into spicy roast rabbit and be eaten!"
In the humid swamp after the flood receded, Cai Rong, a rabbit-eared lolita, ran around in a panic, trying to avoid the dragon's breath falling from the sky. The Flame Dragon in the sky never lowered its height out of its disgust with water vapor, and the fireballs it spit out were always inaccurate. The rabbit-eared Lolita, who was jumping at high speeds and changing directions frequently, could barely survive. ...However, this situation can no longer last long. Because Cai Rong already felt that her physical strength was about to be exhausted soon, and her heart was about to pop out of her chest!
Obviously, the moment she was exhausted and could no longer dance was when she was turned into roast rabbit meat by the flame dragon's breath.
However, just when Cai Rong was about to despair, the sudden change in front of her suddenly made her eyes light up - several "men in green" wearing camouflage uniforms were carrying firearms and marching equipment on their backs, carefully walking in Al Wandering and looking around in the moor at the foot of Mount Nus.
Obviously, these soldiers with obvious modern style cannot be products of this world, they can only come from the other side of the "door".
Could this... be... the Japanese Self-Defense Forces scheduled in the plot, who finally passed through the "door" and came to this fantasy world?
——Thank God, we are finally saved now... Although we don’t expect their bullets to kill Yanlong, they can at least divert Yanlong’s attention, so that he can escape while Yanlong is dealing with them. Chances of the day you were born... Cai Rong, the sinister bunny-eared lolita, thought so while using her cutest and cutest voice, she shouted in Japanese to those "men in green":
"...Brothers! Help!"
