Part of the reason why Snowman City got its name is because both the main city wall and the various sentry towers are all built of white boulders, which is obviously different from the ruins of the ancient city that have been damaged and blackened due to age.
But what appeared in front of Arthur and a group of Xueman guards at this time was a completely dark sentry tower. Not only was the main tower scorched black, but the incomplete walls and houses had also been completely destroyed.
The wood had been burnt to charcoal, and only a few carts of stone survived, but they were also covered with traces of smoke and fire.
The Snowman guards, Thor and Loki, who had a relationship with Arthur, were sorting out the remains of the sentry tower with a grimace. Only a few familiar workers were helping behind. Judging from their trembling behavior when they saw Arthur.
, most likely the few remaining from that group of robbers.
"Soldier, report the situation." The leader of the group, Ileris, walked towards the two men while alerting the surroundings.
"As you can see, sir," Thor pointed around: "Most of the buildings were destroyed, and we survived by hiding in the sentry tower. The dragon seemed helpless against the sentry tower. After spitting several times,
He left on his own."
"Most of the workers have run away with Captain Thorward who went to report the news," Loki added next to him: "Currently there are not enough manpower to clean and repair."
"After killing the dragon, the lord will send more workers and guards," the dark elf guard ordered to the dozen guards brought behind her: "Get ready for battle, the archers are on the high ground."
"Will that dragon come again?" Thor and Loki were shocked, and the workers behind them turned around and fled into the guard tower.
"This sentry tower is the first building that the dragon saw after resurrecting from the Dragon Tomb. It will not give up until it is destroyed." Ileris took out a piece of paper and looked at it: "
It is a descendant of the ancient dragon 'Nurminex', and its name should be - 'Mirmenir'."
The content on it was that the court mage Farenjia took the time to decipher it from the "Dragon Stone" he found for him, Arthur looked at the piece of paper and thought.
The "Dragon Stone" is a map tablet he previously obtained from the powerful ghouls in the Coldfall Temple. It records many dragons killed by the Nords in ancient times and the locations of the "Dragon Tombs" where they were buried. Those ancient dragons were
The dragon-slaying warriors buried the dead dragons on the spot and built arched tombs on them to show their bravery. These ancient Nords probably never imagined that those dragons would emerge from the tombs thousands of years later.
resurrection.
The dragon tomb of "Mirmenir" is located in the mountains south of the western sentry tower in Snowrun. Although it is not sure whether it is the dragon that destroyed Helgen, maybe it was just resurrected by it in some way, but there is no way
It is doubtful that it will come again after resting and raze the western tower to the ground.
"No, you should avoid the high ground," Arthur stopped the archers who were planning to go to the broken walls and high slopes of the city: "If the dragon breathes towards the high ground, how will you avoid it?"
The archers looked at each other, then looked at Ileris.
"Look for a tall bunker and hide in the shadows," the dark elf frowned and changed his order: "I made a mistake in my judgment. In any case, the dragon is not an enemy that can be eliminated with one arrow. There is no point in occupying the commanding heights - if you have other
Just tell me your suggestions together."
"Basically, you can treat it like a raptor." Arthur took off the two-handed sword from his back with his backhand. "The only chance to attack it is when it dives to attack, and the dragon's breath can be completely blocked by any shield, although it will be blocked once."
Scrap one side.”
"So you need someone to hold a shield to attract attention for you?" Ileris looked at several shield-wielding guards.
"It doesn't take long, but it's best to attract it as close to the guard tower as possible-" Arthur was interrupted mid-sentence.
"[Choke——!]" A huge roar came from the southern sky, and at the same time, a huge shadow appeared in the sky.
Although it is also a black dragon, Arthur can be sure that this dragon is not the one that destroyed Helgen, because it is at least half smaller in size.
"Everyone without a shield should hide!" Arthur directed the guards who were armed with two-handed swords, warhammers and double-sided axes to hide because they didn't know who the enemy was.
——14:30——
The giant black dragon flapped its wings and approached the dark remains of the sentry tower. It seemed to be very satisfied with its victory. Then it turned its vertical eyes and looked at the main building of the sentry tower which was still standing upright and very unsightly.
"Fire!" Naturally, Ileris would not miss the opportunity for it to enter the shooting range and immediately ordered to shoot.
Boom boom boom - Several steel arrows flew towards the giant dragon, but when they hit its scales, they made a sound of steel impact and bounced away completely without any effect.
The black dragon paused, turned its gaze to the archers hiding near the bunker, opened its huge mouth mockingly, and spurted out hot dragon breath towards one of them.
"After one shot, move to a position where the guy can't see it. Do you still need me to teach you--" Arthur held up a leather shield that he snatched from other guards to block the breath.
"Ah, oh." The archer who survived the accident bowed and walked around behind the remains of a section of wall that he used as a shelter.
Swish - seeing that the breath was unsuccessful, the black dragon immediately swooped down and swung its huge claws to grab Arthur.
Qiang! Arthur threw away his shield, crossed the giant sword and narrowly parried the claw attack, and shouted to the dazed guards: "Continue to attack! Do you need to be taught this?"
"But our arrows are ineffective against it?" A certain archer answered innocently, making Arthur, who was struggling to fight against the dragon, roll his eyes.
"You have spent too long dealing with drunkards and thieves, and now I'm afraid you can't even deal with ordinary robbers." After mocking, Ileris took off his swords from his waist, and turned into a shadow and rushed towards
The giant dragon was close to the ground, and then, a cold light suddenly appeared.
Sensing the danger, the black dragon flapped its wings to dodge to the side, but it did not dodge completely. A deep wound was opened on the dragon's claws.
"[Choke——]" It let out a huge roar and flew high to avoid a few weak flying arrows that were belatedly arriving.
As a lord's guard, his kung fu was indeed unique. Arthur gasped twice and continued to give instructions loudly: "Quick, everyone hide in the tower, that dragon is going crazy!"
"What? Crazy?" Most of the guards were convinced that Arthur could withstand the power of the dragon, and immediately hid in the sentry tower. A few guards who couldn't turn their heads and tried to shoot at the black dragon in the air were also killed by Arthur and
Illarius was forcibly brought into the guard tower.
"[Picture - Su -]" The black dragon suddenly flapped its wings, flying more than three or four times faster than before. It suddenly swooped down, its dragon's breath ignited everything along the way, and even the rocks were ignited with fire.
After it was over, it climbed high and dived again from the other direction to exhale, and the speed became faster and faster. After a while, the entire sentry tower was surrounded by raging fire. If there were still people hiding outside with a sense of luck, they would have been burned.
It turned into coke.
"[Ang——]" The black dragon circled the sentry tower with ferocious eyes, bursts of flames leaking from its mouth from time to time.
Boom! An archer stuck his head out at the door of the sentry tower and shot an arrow at the black dragon. Although it was undoubtedly deflected by the dragon's scales, it greatly angered it.
Boom boom boom - the dragon's heavy body fell at the door of the sentry tower. Although it could not get in with its body, it could lower its head and spit fire inside. However, there were no screams or exclamations to prove that this breath did not
achieve the effect.
At this moment, Arthur jumped from the top of the tower and landed on the back of the giant dragon. The two-handed sword of the Sky Furnace with the tip of the sword facing downwards pierced the black dragon's back hard due to the force of the fall.
"[——!!]" The black dragon named Mirmenir let out a terrifying roar that was completely incomprehensible. It flew into the air with an almost ejection movement and kept spinning in the air, trying to knock off the small bugs on its back.
However, doing so would only further widen the wound as Arthur held the sword hilt firmly.
Arthur, who was forced to fly in the air, didn't feel nervous about his situation. He even felt that he was quite familiar with and loved this situation. If the dragon hadn't had to be killed, he would have even wanted to tame it and become a mount.
, in response to the dragon's unskillful rolling and flying upside down, he steadily used his two-handed sword to tear open the wound step by step, and tried to activate the power of the sky furnace contained in it.
"[Dovahkiin!?]" After the familiar golden light appeared, Arthur heard the giant beast under him scream in terror, and at the same time, something "something" was coming.
Follow the two-handed sword and continuously transfer it from the black dragon to yourself.
That "thing" not only lit up a star in the "two-handed weapon" constellation again, but also gradually solidified the mysterious word "FUS" that was previously engraved in my mind.
"[————!]" After shouting that strange word, the black dragon seemed completely crazy. It stopped trying to push Arthur down, spun around, and headed straight towards the place that was still burning with blazing flames.
They hit the ground and seemed to be planning to die together.
The guards in the guard tower watched anxiously as they were completely helpless, and even if Arthur jumped away halfway, the impact damage caused by the extremely high speed would be enough to kill him.
In a battle of life and death, Arthur increased the activation of the special effects of the two-handed sword in the sky furnace, increasing the speed of absorption, and made the text "FUS" sparkle just before the black dragon hit the ground.
"[FUS!]" Arthur shouted the word out of intuition.
Boom!
Following that roar, a huge thrust pushed the black dragon downwards and hit the ground heavily. However, Arthur himself followed the reaction force of this force and landed lightly, except for the fact that his clothes were a little messy due to high-speed flight.
Unscathed outside.
Whoosh whoosh--the black dragon's body burst into flames, and the "things" snatched before were gathering from it towards Arthur at dozens of times the speed. Before the guards gathered around, it had turned into a look of white.
keel.
"I can't believe you are -" Thor stared at Arthur with wide eyes: "Dragonborn"
