What appeared in front of Arthur was a majestic dragon.
In fact, Arthur doesn't know what species the old dragon Patunas is, but since even evil stars are taboo against this old dragon, Patunas is probably a very ancient and powerful dragon species. Even now, the old dragon is known as
This form appeared in front of Arthur and others. His size was controlled by magic. The actual size of Patunas is estimated to be dozens of times larger, but that would make it inconvenient to talk. The old dragon just opened his mouth
Just one word could blow away everyone present.
Arthur saw that Patunas looked like he wanted to start a war with the church, but had no intention of lying down and letting everyone ride on him. He couldn't help but curiously asked: "Is the old man planning to take us to that battleship?"
"No, I have a better plan." Old Long said.
Before he finished speaking, another young giant dragon that was frosty white and had iridescence on its scales descended from the sky.
"I am too big a target. If I take you there, you will be attacked by the enemy. Let this young man take my place. I will be responsible for opening the way for you, and this young man will be responsible for carrying you to the ship." Patunas continued.
Arthur recognized the white dragon at a glance as Xia Shuang Long Xiaoxing. But Xiaoxing pretended not to recognize Arthur and appeared here as Patunas's follower. I'm afraid this kid didn't start from the beginning.
There is some kind of agreement with Patunas. Whether it is Evil Star's plan or Xiaoxing's own evil idea is unknown.
"You came specifically to help us open the way? And you even called your companions? That's so kind." Arthur complained.
"Look at the firepower. Without me opening the way, you wouldn't be able to get on the ship." The old dragon said calmly, looking at Skid Plattney's Ark in the sky.
"Indeed." Arthur also glanced at Ark. At that time, Ark was fighting with the Saints' people, using the powerful firepower of the artillery mounted on it to suppress the ground troops until they were completely unable to fight back. The sea beasts
It can only defend against Ark's artillery fire with all its strength, and it's good enough not to be wiped out immediately, let alone counterattack.
"But there is a proviso: I want the Pope's head." Old Long suddenly said with a sinister look.
"Well, that might be a bit difficult." The King of Knights replied half-jokingly: "I will try to leave a whole body for the Pope, and even try to cut off his head completely. But this is a battlefield after all.
When the battle gets fiercer, there won’t be that much room left. If the wrong hand hits his head into pieces------"
"Since you have time to joke, it means you are ready." Patunas chuckled and spread his wings: "It's about to go!"
"You guys should sit up too, humans." Xiaoxing began to act hard.
"Wow, I can actually ride a dragon!" Verne said excitedly: "It's worth it! It's worth dying in this life!"
"Nonsense." Arthur knocked Verne on the head and walked towards Xiaoxing: "There are a lot of people, is there no problem?"
When he said this, his eyes quickly glanced at the group of Shadow Tribe people next to him. The group of demi-human youths seemed to be planning to follow them.
"No problem, come up." Xiaoxing replied. Xiaoxing is actually an underage baby dragon. He does not have the arrogance of an adult dragon. He is even very interested in humans, so he is easy to talk to. Although he pretends to be
He tried to calm down, but Xiaoxing had already been secretly observing the group of strange demi-humans with puppy ears.
The King of Knights did not expose Xia Shuanglong's drama, and jumped on the dragon's back with everyone. There were five people in King Arthur's group, and five other young people from the Shadow Clan, a total of ten people sat on the dragon's back, but they did not feel that there was not enough space.
Use. I don’t know whether this is Xiaoxing’s original body shape, or whether he deliberately used magic to make his body bigger to facilitate carrying so many people. Considering that Xia Shuanglong Xiaoxing is also a child over 200 years old, there is this
Body shape is not a weird thing either.
"Can you hear me, Uncle Arthur?" Xiaoxing's voice came, and it should have been conveyed to Arthur through telepathy. Since the King of Knights and Xiaoxing had direct physical contact, there could be no limit to the acceptance of telepathy.
"You can hear me." The King of Knights replied silently: "Let's take off."
"Then." Xiaoxing spread his wings and shouted to the person on the dragon's back: "I've got a good grip. I'm not responsible for being thrown off."
Bang! Xiaoxing, who was flapping his wings vigorously, quickly rose into the air, and the old dragon Patunas who was leading the way also took off. The two dragons, one old and one young, began to move in the direction of the ark.
The old dragon Patunas had no intention of hiding his figure. As soon as he took off, he doubled his size and attacked Skid Plattney's Ark menacingly. And the young one following the old dragon
Long Xiaoxing is much more low-key, using illusion and invisibility spells to form a protective shield around his body that deflects light, protecting and hiding himself and the group of people on the dragon's back from being noticed by the enemy.
At that time, the church's clergy (actually magic) team had been lined up densely on the deck of the ark, using the church's holy bell as a catalyst, frantically releasing "miracles" (actually magic), outputting them in mid-air.
Thousands of magic light bombs. These light bombs are probably used to make up for the Ark's shortcomings in anti-air defense. They seem to be alive, hitting the old dragon Patunas in a wonderful arc.
Patunas let out a powerful dragon roar, and when the light bullets were about to approach, he used a magical roar to deflect all the light bullets! He spit out a giant dragon flame fireball as a counterattack, but the big fireball
It hit the invisible protective shield near the Ark and was disintegrated, turning into lava-like hot fluid and spilling onto the ground. It eventually turned into a rain of fire, plunging the entire Vatican into a sea of fire. Due to the appearance of the Ark, the ground collapsed and turned into a piece of rubble.
The holy city has now been burned by fire again, turning it into a purgatory-like scene. Fortunately, most people in the city seem to have evacuated or hid in the ark, and there are probably not many innocent citizens who have been implicated...
.Bar.
Although the attack was blocked by the protective shield, Patunas did not stop attacking. Fireballs shot out continuously, and then turned into fire rain and fell to the ground. Arthur even suspected that Patunas did this on purpose.
The dragon seemed to enjoy seeing the Vatican, the Holy Land, being burned by fire?
It has to be said that Patunas's plan is more comprehensive than Arthur imagined. The old dragon Patunas is responsible for attracting firepower, and the young dragon Xiaoxing is responsible for being invisible and sneaking in. When all the firepower and attention are focused on Patunas
With it on his body, Arthur and his party can land on the deck of Skid Plattney's Ark without any risk.
At least that's the plan.
"So what kind of dragon is old Patunas?" Out of curiosity, Arthur asked Xiaoxing with his mind.
"I heard from dad that he is a very ancient dragon species [Starfall Dragon]." Xiaoxing replied using telepathy.
"Starfall Dragon?" Arthur had never heard of it.
"It is one of the ancient dragon species first created by the ancient dragon clan. It is also the dragon species with the deepest-rooted aversion factor of its own kind in the body. Even now, there is no way to completely cure it, so the old man is so reluctant to go to the planet Drakok with everyone.
" Xiaoxing replied.
"Homogeneous disgust...factor?"
"Well, doesn't Uncle Arthur know this yet? Sorry, I said too much------" Xiaoxing immediately stopped talking. Because it is very difficult to break through the protective barrier of Skid Plattney's Ark head-on.
The difficult thing is that the meteor dragon Patunas went around to the stern of the ship. The artillery fire at the stern will be much weaker, because the team of priests (magicians) on the deck cannot bypass the bridge's blockage and attack to the stern.
The old dragon from the stern direction.
When Patunas went around, Xiaoxing also accelerated to catch up, but those light bullets followed.
"Discovered?!" Xiaoxing accelerated to get rid of the tracking of the light bullet, but was a little surprised.
"No. It's probably a tracking light bomb, and it has the ability to sense living things." Arthur said: "The old man bypassed it, and the magic light bomb lost his primary target, so it tracked nearby secondary targets ---
---That's us. Your invisibility spell can fool human eyes, but it can't fool the light bullets that rely on magic to track life reactions."
"This is going to be troublesome." Xiaoxing accelerated and flapped his wings to catch up with Patunas, but his whereabouts had probably been exposed. More light bombs were coming, and the mages on the Ark deck had obviously noticed this hidden line.
Trace spell, the looming Xia Shuang Dragon.
But at this time, the battlefield on the ground took a new turn. Three hundred-foot-tall rock giants rose up from the ground, seemingly improvised golems driven by magic. They held huge rocks as shields and held them up.
The shields slowly advanced towards the ark. Behind them were small rock giant golems about fifty feet tall, constantly picking up rubble on the ground and throwing it. Although they were just rubble, their mass was huge, and they were used by the giants.
The power of the strange force cannot be underestimated. Under the impact of dozens of huge pieces of rubble, the protective shield of Skid Plattney's Ark was actually penetrated, and two pieces of rubble hit the hull.
It even made the Ark shake a bit.
"Is that Grand Marshal Giles? That's amazing." Arthur hummed. The man who made a deal with the devil can not only use a large number of sea beasts, but also summon such a huge rock giant. No wonder he has the confidence to lead an army to attack.
Vatican.
Realizing the threat of the rock giants, the artillery fire also turned to bombard the incoming rubble. The continuous bombardment scattered the huge pieces of rubble. They turned into thousands of rocks of different sizes and rained down, constantly hitting the protection of the Ark.
cover, putting continuous pressure on the seemingly invincible protective cover.
No matter how powerful the ancient artifact Skid Platny's Ark is, its protective shield will always consume energy to maintain. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the Ark runs out of energy. When it lacks energy, the protective shield will become weak and leaks will appear.
In an instant, Arthur and his party have the opportunity to invade!
No. Arthur used True Sight to take a closer look. The protective shield originally did not have enough energy supply to completely defend every direction. Ark now concentrates the strength of the protective shield on the ground, and uses the region to come from the ground.
Due to the onslaught of various sea monsters and rock giants, the defense above it will become relatively weak. Its topmost part is a blind spot, and an attack from there may easily penetrate the protective shield and attack the deck of the Ark.
Sensing the flaw in the Ark, King Arthur suddenly had a bold idea. (To be continued)
