Chaos Crown

Chapter 242, Githyanki
The Githyanki are a pirate race living in the astral world. In the monster guide given by Elminster, the Githyanki are marked as looters by the Great Sage, and it is not recommended to deal with them alone.

The githyanki come from a very ancient race that was once enslaved by the space mind flayer empire. It is impossible to know when they were enslaved. This race has tried time and time again to overthrow the space mind flayer empire, but time and time again They were suppressed one after another and endured endless suffering and torture.

No one knows what this race looked like before they were enslaved and reformed by mind flayers. Were they tall or thin?Is it kind or selfish?Is it elegant or brutal?
These ancient histories have been completely submerged in the dust of history with the long slavery of mind flayers.

Until the rise of a leader named "Gith".

After a series of wars of resistance, Geese led his race and finally won freedom for himself after bloody battles one after another, and escaped from the control of mind flayers, just as Elminster despised , once again, the dragon slayer eventually became a dragon. In order to resist the mind flayer, the "powerful organization" established by Geese began to deteriorate after the final victory through militarized management and oppression of each individual, and the evil of the organization gradually overwhelmed Well organized, they went from righteous rebels to brutal conquerors.

Gith never came back after meeting Tiamat. Any attempt to contact him failed. The Gith people split, and some Gith people continued to follow their great leader, Gith's deputy Lich. Queen Verakis, these people gradually became cruel and violent "Githyanki" (meaning the followers of Gith), and the other part of the people left the brutal life of plundering and turned to seek inner peace and tranquility And, these people became "Ghissolai people".

What are these astral pirates going to do when they come to the main material plane?
Aaron watched from a distance where the red dragon landed, recalling his knowledge.

Could it be that there is a githyanki breeding facility nearby?

As we all know, the githyanki are pirates in the astral world all day long, and there is no concept of time in the astral world. The githyanki will neither age nor grow because of this, so the githyanki have some Nurturing center, to raise their offspring to grow up.

As for the adult red dragon... There is a strange covenant between the githyanki and the red dragon. It is said that when Gith sought allies to resist the enslavement of mind flayers, he got the response from Tiamat, the queen of the five-color evil dragon. Gith personally went to the first floor of the Nine Hells to meet with Tiamat. It is unknown what exactly happened, but since then Tiamat's red dragon companion has announced that his family is permanently allied with the Gith people, so Jisi There are some red dragon knights among the Syanki, and they can also call on red dragons to help them when needed.

Just like the "Advanced Dragon Covenant" on Aaron.

Across the mountains and hills, Aaron watched the githyanki land from the side of the dense stream and bushes. An adult red dragon raised its head proudly and watched the scene.

Adult red dragon.

Every adult dragon (except for the white dragon) is a relatively standard "legendary combat unit".

What is a standard legendary power unit?
To use an analogy, legend is a threshold, a vague realm, and the methods of entering this threshold are varied and varied, so the combat power displayed by legendary powerhouses also has huge differences.

Some legendary powerhouses push themselves into this threshold purely by working long hours. For example, Aaron knows that there is a scholar in the Church of Oghma, named by Suzall, who is legendary, but he is because he published A dissertation was favored by Oghma, a scholar who had never been involved in a head-to-head combat in his decades of life.

Some legendary powerhouses...such as Elminster, the red-robed chief Szastan in the east, Queen Simbu of the Seven Sisters, or the former great arcanists Iolum, Karthus, and Sarukh in the north The well-known witches of the empire, the ordinary legendary powerhouses are just their toys.

Adult metal dragons and five-color dragons are such "standard legendary combat power". They have all they should have, and they don't have what they shouldn't have. They are not talented like the big dragon Egil. Young dragons can put eight rings Spells are gone, and unlike some parallel legends who have never fought, they lack both combat experience and lack of combat ability.

It is emphasized here that the above description does not include Bailong.

Adult white dragons are not only unable to reach the threshold of legend, but also very stupid in intelligence. Their battles are the standard three-axes-breathing, flapping wings and gnawing. My brain is not enough.

"Roar~" The roar of the adult red dragon was resounding in the forest, and the shock wave of the legendary dragon's power made Aaron's hidden bushes sway.

It was an indescribable feeling. Aaron's body trembled slightly immediately, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and the cold hairs on his arms were all erected. A feeling of weakness and powerlessness as if a big stone was pressed on his chest made him feel uncomfortable. Aaron's breathing became quicker, and then there was a rapid weightlessness that made his arms and legs unable to lift.

Legendary Longwei!

This sense of deterrence penetrated Aaron's body and mind in less than a second, and soon faded from Aaron's body, and the power returned to Aaron's body, obviously he passed the immunity.

Aaron gritted his teeth, trying to lower his body as much as possible.

It's been three months, and his body still hasn't fully recovered to its best condition. The consumption of the golden rule's incarnation is too great for him, and this ability cannot be used at will.

With so many enemies, it's better not to fight head-on.

Under the protection of the red dragon Longwei, about a dozen githyanki are negotiating with a group of dozens of Zhentarim members who are like an army.

Zhentarim soldiers are very well equipped, even a master professional among them, and the presence of adult red dragons puts a lot of pressure on them.

"This is the first and our last warning, you low races, you are not allowed to approach!"

A female githyanki arrogantly held the long sword at her waist. Compared with human women, she was taller and thinner, with sallow skin, burnt yellow spots on her face, pointed ears, and a Dressed in magnificently rich armor adorned with feathers, gems, gold, silver and pearls.

What is more special is that there is no nose in the facial features of the githyanki, and the nose position is replaced by a slight protrusion and two slender slits.

The Zhentarim who were shocked by the legendary dragon's power were a little flustered. Many soldiers couldn't stop being frightened when they saw the adult red dragon's eyes. : "This is our territory, visitors from the star world, of course we have the right to pass through here, your territory is not here, get out of the way now, otherwise don't blame us for being ungrateful."

"Shut up, lowly mortals, do you know who you are talking to?" The captain of the Githyanki was already very impatient: "If it weren't for my compassion, you would have been burned to ashes by the flames of the dragon gone."

"Go away now, or we will send you into the belly of the dragon, this is the queen's will."

The dialogue between the two sides was full of gunpowder.

After listening for a while, Aaron understood the origin of the matter—it was very likely that there was a githyanki foster home nearby. People from the Zhentarim found some clues when they passed by and brought them here. A call for help was also sent, and a squad of githyanki arrived with guardian red dragons, and the two sides confronted each other.

The Zhentarim didn't expect that there was an adult red dragon here, and it was hard to get off the tiger, and the githyanki were a little scruples because the breeding center was nearby. to migrate.

Land bandits face off astral pirates.

Aaron, who was in the bushes, showed a strange smile. He noticed that there was a female githyanki in ambush in the nearby woodland.

A magic took shape in Aaron's hands.

Tzeentch's Exile!
The female githyanki marauder's attention was all focused on the scene of the conflict, she suddenly felt an irresistible force sucking her in, she finally wanted to scream to remind her companions that there was an enemy, but she appeared in In front of her was a human male with a distant gaze and a jade-like face, who made a "shh" gesture to the githyanki.

The githyanki marauder tried to speak again, only to find that his mouth was gone!

It is really gone, the lips where the mouth used to be are gone, and only the sallow skin is left in place, even if the mouth is pulled hard, a sound cannot be uttered.

Tzeentch's good brother's new spell is really easy to use.

Aaron picked up the githyanki's bow from the ground, aimed it at the Zhentarim below, and began enchanting.

The two sides were still arguing at this time, and each had their own scruples. The githyanki captain was already very impatient, and he secretly gestured towards his subordinates.

The same is true for the Zhentarim Society. As a soldier gave the leader a wink, the leader was also signaling to his subordinates.

huh~
Just when the negotiation was about to break down, a crossbow bolt with magical power came through the air and hit the chest of a Zhentarim soldier. He looked at his breastplate pierced in disbelief, and turned his head to look at his companion. At a glance, it fell straight down like this.

The leader of the Zhentarim was stunned for a second, immediately drew his weapon, and rushed towards the githyanki.

The captain of the githyanki subconsciously turned his head to look at the ambush.

He saw nothing.

No, he saw it, a crimson light flew towards him.

"Fireball!" the captain shouted subconsciously.

Boom~
A large crater exploded in the ground, and the flames wounded two githyanki marauders.

"There is an ambush!"

"The enemy has a spellcaster!"

Since then, there was no possibility of any negotiation between the two sides. They took up weapons and fought together. The screams and battle cries mixed together, and the Zhentarim and the githyanki officially went to war.

In just one meeting, three githyanki died in battle, while the Zhentarim lost more than a dozen lives.

Behind the big tree, Aaron put down the exquisite enchanted longbow, and he quickly focused on the adult red dragon.

With this red dragon around, the Zhentarim should have no chance of winning.

Sure enough, the adult red dragon suddenly opened his huge longan eyes, and there was a hint of disbelief in his eyeballs.

Damn it!This group of human beings, when this seat is fake? !
I have appeared here in person, how dare these people still dare?

Roar!
An angry dragon roar sounded.

The adult red dragon spread its wings and spit out a common language: "Face Tanaris of Gul, mortals, you are provoking the leader of dragons appointed by the five-color dragon queen!"

After finishing speaking, the adult red dragon took a deep breath, and shouted at Captain Githyanki: "This time the price will be doubled, as I said."

He didn't care whether the githyanki agreed or not, the huge body more than ten meters long rushed up suddenly, and opened its mouth.

Flame breath!

A scorching dragon's breath sprayed out from the red dragon's mouth. Under the burning dragon's breath, the ground melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon a new piece of magma appeared in place. The red dragon's flame breath was pure blood The most powerful one among the dragon species, its lethality is more than twice that of the white dragon.

The dragon's breath of an adult red dragon can melt an adult human male into a mass of ashes. Under his breath, even the most heat-resistant dwarves can't resist, and they will often drink their hatred on the spot under extremely high temperatures.

The nine-meter-long breath of flames swallowed up the people of the Zhentarim Society. After the breath ended, only a few swaying figures were left, which turned into ashes and fell to the ground.

However, the leader of the Zhentarim did not feel intimidated. Instead, he shouted to his rear: "Do it!"

The muffled sound of heavy objects being thrown came from the rear of the Zhentarim immediately. The adult red dragon was about to spread its wings and fly into the sky when two blue bed crossbow bolts pierced through the air, piercing through its dragon wings respectively!

"Roar!" The adult red dragon fell to the ground with a mournful cry, and the barb carried on the bed crossbow immediately pierced the dragon's wings and hung under the dragon's wings, causing the adult dragon to lose the ability to fly, and smoke and dust splashed up.

This is not over yet, another crossbow shot through the air, this time the arrow hit the dragon's shoulder directly, the adult red dragon wailed in pain, the arrow pierced through its shoulder, the dragon scales shattered, and the dragon Blood splattered on the ground along the crossbow's wound, making a hissing sound.

Broken Dragon Crossbow? !

Aaron looked at the secret weapon of the Zhentarim Society, his eyes exuded dignified and puzzled.

Dragon-breaking crossbow, designed to kill giant dragons!

This kind of large war machine is a dragon special attack weapon specially made by a giant dragon killer after he retired. Didn't expect to see it here today?

The bolts of the Dragon-Breaking Crossbow are smeared with a special poison for dragons. This poison will make the dragon's body numb and useless. The chain is especially aimed at the dragon, it will hang on the fragile dragon wings of the dragon, making it difficult for him to take off.

We all know that if a dragon cannot fly, its combat effectiveness will drop by at least half.

"The fighting power of the giant dragon on the ground is far weaker than that of the giant dragon in the sky."

——Antoine, Dragon Slayer
This is obviously a temporary encounter, why would the Zhentarim have a big killer like a dragon-breaking crossbow?
Aaron watched the battle closely, thinking about the origin of the Dragon Breaking Crossbow in his heart.

Appeared on the northern border of Cormyr, the Zhentarim, specializing in dragons.

An answer came to Aaron's mind. He stared at the adult red dragon struggling painfully on the ground, thinking that you are really unlucky.

These three Dragon Breaking Crossbows were most likely brought here specially to deal with Dalonglong!

It's just that this "Tanaris of Gul" red dragon was unlucky, and was the first to enjoy the power of the dragon-breaking crossbow.

Aaron stared at the three brand new Dragon Breaking Crossbows with great interest in his eyes.

No wonder the Zhentarim would take on a githyanki, even a full-grown red dragon.

I want this thing!
…………

At the same time, not far from here, she was wearing a shadow gothic night gown, with purple hair and purple pupils, a graceful figure, a slender figure with perfect curves, and a pair of black patent leather high heels. Ji stood on the cliff, looking into the distance.

"Hehehe~ It seems that something serious happened~"

"The little guy has become more handsome and stronger."

"Hehehe, sister, I am very excited and happy!"
