After the "barrier" left by the dragon disappeared, the enemy tried to attack again. It must be said that the emperor's standing army was indeed a strong force trained in the southwest war, so it could still maintain morale.
During the melee, Elizabeth fired the last magic missile and watched as the missile hit a swordsman. One of the missiles hit the swordsman's face and penetrated through the gap in the mask.
The swordsman exclaimed and pushed open his mask, only to have one of his eyeballs roll out of his socket - the missile was like a heavy punch, literally blowing out his eye.
The next moment, the Catman's crossbow arrow hit the swordsman's open face, stuck in his nose, and instantly broke the cartilage on the bridge of his nose, going straight into his brain.
The swordsman fell backward.
Cat Man shouted to Elizabeth: "Well done, Your Highness!"
Elizabeth hesitated for a moment, then fired the last scorching ray, targeting a captain with a feather on his helmet. The ray accurately hit the captain's arm, causing his raised sword to freeze in the air, probably because
The shoulder was carbonized and lost mobility.
The militiamen who confronted the captain immediately stabbed the captain below the helmet with a spear.
This kind of full-body armor had a neck guard, but the force of the spear thrust still pushed the captain backward.
Another militiaman holding a blacksmith's hammer immediately stepped forward and banged twice!
Elizabeth did not see how the militiamen fought. She only knew that the feathers on the captain's helmet disappeared from her sight.
After casting the spell, Elizabeth squatted down, picked up the crossbow at her feet, and strenuously strung the crossbow.
At this moment, a brisk horn sounded.
Elizabeth looked around and saw a group of cavalry rushing into the battlefield.
The leading knight raised his sword high, and the blade glowed with dazzling light due to the sacred weapon covenant.
Paladin!
The sudden appearance of the cavalry was the straw that broke the camel's back, and the morale of the Styrian people collapsed. They rushed to the nearby dark alleys, trying to escape the pursuit and trampling of the cavalry.
Elizabeth fired a crossbow arrow at the retreating enemy, then threw the crossbow arrow to her feet and gasped for air.
Misha Sara reached her side in a few jumps and carefully checked her body: "Very good, no injuries. Let me tell you good news, Your Highness, you survived the fierce battle."
Elizabeth showed a pale smile: "Thank you. I have finished all the spells, and I am a little tired now. If there is another battle, I will have to shoot crossbows."
Just as the catman was about to reply, a paladin riding a tall horse came over.
Wayne Langdon pushed open the visor of his helmet and looked at his sister with concern: "Are you okay? Bruce sent me to wipe out the Rogue Guild. When I arrived, I found a large number of Steyr standing troops coming out of the Rogue Guild.
"Then I remembered that you were still in Gallows Square, so I hurried over. Only when I arrived did I realize that you were gone."
Elizabeth stood up and looked at her brother: "I was originally going to retreat to the castle, but when I saw the tragedy on the road, I decided to fulfill my noble obligations and protect my people!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the children, women and old people who were being protected all around said in unison: "Your Highness the Princess has protected us!"
"I will always be loyal to His Highness!"
Wayne smiled: "You see, your efforts have been recognized by the people. I am proud of you."
At this time, Elizabeth suddenly remembered: "By the way, a dragon helped us just now. Without that dragon, we would definitely be dead. Where did the dragon come from?"
"It was transformed by the mage brother you like." Bruce's voice came from the other side.
Elizabeth turned around and saw Bruce leading a group of soldiers into the square.
Bruce: "The priest immediately treated the wounded! The soldiers continued to track the enemies who fled into the alley! This is the neighborhood where you grew up, and you are more familiar with the terrain than they are. Don't let a Styrian go!"
The soldiers responded loudly and their morale was high.
After dispatching the soldiers, Bruce led several entourages on horseback to the barricade where Elizabeth was. In addition to Cassander, his entourage also included the Langdon family's archmage and mage apprentices.
Elizabeth: "He is only a third-level mage, how can he transform into a dragon? I don't think that is a spell that a third-level mage can cast."
The great mage of the Langdon family said: "In fact, dragon shape is a seven-ring spell. It is said that there is also a spell called secondary dragon shape, which can be cast with six rings."
Bruce: "You are also a seven-ring mage, why can't I see you transform into a dragon?"
The archmage looked troubled: "Dragon shape, even the basic dragon shape with seven rings, is a very rare magic. I have been collecting scrolls or spell books with this magic for so many years, but I have found nothing. Let alone the advanced dragon with eight rings.
Shape, the ultimate dragon shape of nine rings.
"As for the six-ring secondary dragon form, it is a legendary spell that no one has ever seen before."
Bruce: "Wait a minute, the mage brother has an infinite book. He should have seven rings of dragon-shaped magic. If he shows it to you, can you become a dragon?"
The archmage shook his head: "All transformation magic requires the caster to be very familiar with the creature to be transformed. Even if the mage allowed me to copy the pages from his book, I would not be able to master it so quickly. I have to find another book.
Maybe a lot of books to learn about the ecology of dragons and the structure of their bodies. (*)”
At this moment, a messenger rushed into the square on a fast horse: "Your Majesty the Duke! The army of the Valley Leader over the port has been shattered! Baron Willy, who was commanding the scene, reported that the dragon you sent was injured. Priests
I don’t know if I can treat it!”
Elizabeth was shocked: "He is injured? I'll go right away!"
Bruce held his sister down and said, "Don't get excited. You look like your magic has been exhausted and you are very tired. It's such a mess now, and if you run around, you might cause more trouble. Brother, do you still have holy healing?"
Wayne responded to the lord's attitude: "There is one more, my lord."
"Take the troops and go have a look, and drive all the people in the river valley back to their broken boats."
Wayne made a fist with his right hand and slapped his left chest, turned his horse's head and ran away, with his soldiers following closely behind.
Bruce looked at Elizabeth: "You did a good job, leave the other things to us tonight."
**
The dragon that the king transformed into lay on the ground, breathing heavily.
The River Valley Army has been defeated, and now he is surrounded by the mercenaries of the Port Chamber of Commerce from a distance.
The cleric hired by the Chamber of Commerce argued: "I don't want to be near a seriously injured dragon."
"Yes, our healing magic may be of no avail to him."
"Oh my gosh, it smells so bad! Are all dragons that smelly?"
Suddenly, a light bursts out from the king: it's time for the ultimate dragon-shaped magic.
He transformed back into the mage in a burst of light, but the injuries he suffered while in dragon form were basically inherited by the mage. His left shoulder was basically completely decomposed, leaving only the bones exposed.
Fortunately, he was in dragon form when he was hit by the dissociation spell. If the humanoid ate it, he would probably turn into powder and disappear.
"Hey, it's a man!" the mercenaries exclaimed.
Someone immediately noticed the dragon-headed scepter in the king's hand. Because the king had passed out, the scepter no longer glowed, but under the light of the surrounding torches, it could be seen that the head of the scepter was transparent and crystal-like.
Carved dragon head.
"This thing looks very valuable!" A bold mercenary couldn't restrain his greed and walked over to pick up the scepter. "Now it belongs to me!"
The next moment, he was ejected by the huge force and jumped over the human wall surrounding the king. His head hit the big stone on the roadside, and his neck was immediately broken.
The scepter flew back to the mage who fell to the ground, and fell to the ground motionless.
When everyone saw this, they took a step back in horror.
At this moment, a ham fell from the sky! It landed next to the mage who fell to the ground with a thud, throwing up a cloud of smoke and dust.
This ham made everyone take another step back.
The werewolf girl landed lightly next to Ham. She raised her hand and the magic was already in action. Several giant wolves were summoned and surrounded him with their backs to the mage. This is one of the special abilities of the druid, which can prepare him for today.
The magic spell temporarily transforms into summoning an animal companion.
Then the werewolf girl checked the mage's injuries, and then cast the rejuvenation spell.
The mage's injuries stabilized immediately, and all the wounds stopped bleeding. The girl turned to the priest of the Chamber of Commerce and shouted: "You are priests! Come here! Give him the most powerful healing skills! There are also restoration skills, he
If his hand cannot be regenerated, I will bite off your hand and reattach it!"
The girl paused, then thought of something again, and shouted: "Remove disease scroll, bring me the disease removal scroll!"

(*) The knowledge required to obtain spells in this book has obviously increased. This can be considered a kind of balance. In the world setting of this book, the number of divine spellcasters is obviously more than that of arcane spellcasters, because there are more divine spellcasters
As long as you are pious enough, you will be granted all the divine spells of the next level by various gods or nature. Arcane spell casters either need to have blood and become a warlock, or they need to master a lot of knowledge and spend a lot of time studying it.
Arcane.
In the world of this book, it is very difficult to obtain a new arcane spell, especially a high-level arcane spell. Of course, mages will also use associations to share spells, such as the Arcane Association that will appear later. But there is no
Mages who join this organization can only rely on their teachers or take risks on their own to acquire new knowledge and magic.
In addition, there is Xiaobai's combat power. My original intention was to learn "Dungeons and Dragons" and let the druid change freely, but I didn't expect that after I let go of my imagination, she was a bit too strong. It just so happened that there was someone in this chapter.
It was mentioned that there is a specialization module for Druid. I looked at it and decided to use that module. From now on, Xiaobai will be a specialization Druid, and she will lose her high-level spellcasting ability.
Originally, I wanted to let her use the nine-ring druid magic in the future. Forget it, dogs have to be castrated. This is the dog's fate.
