Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 538: Battle of the Solitary Island (1)

During the time when Noshir and Orpheus were communicating, the tower itself was also trying to resist the powerful enemies from the astral realm.

Just as Noshiel had expected before, the Githyanki do have the ability to track and even locate the specific location of the Astral Prism. It is precisely relying on this ability that these Githyanki Red Dragon Riders, who have traveled an unknown distance, can accurately find this place in such a short time. However, Baldur's Gate had already mobilized a huge force in the shortest time at Noshiel's reminder to rush to this nearby area.

Bodran Tower is an isolated prison island. There were originally 300 elite Flame Fist veterans stationed in this area. Under the order of Duke Ravengard, he specially dispatched a 100-man crossbowman brigade stationed nearby, more than 30 paladins and priests of Torm, the god of Courage, who volunteered to come to support, and a team of 50 mages with an average level of three to four rings.

Such support is strong, but it is not all. In addition to these basic teams and manpower support, the Grand Duke has also informed the Lumenhammer Paladin Skar, the respected rangers Minsk and Xiaobu, the highest magical adviser of Baldur's Gate Ms. Florek, and Hell's Fury Karak who rushed here early in the morning about the impending attack of the Githyanki.

The lowest professional level of the above four is over level 16, which is the strongest lineup that Baldur's Gate can currently show. They are masters among masters. They did not hesitate at all after receiving the notice. Not long after Noshir entered the Astral Prism, they came here in batches and just caught up with this event at this moment.

"Circle of Power!"

A powerful holy energy suddenly erupted in the open space around the Bodran Sea Tower, and at the same time, the twisted and scattered energies formed a spherical force field with a radius of 30 feet at an extremely fast speed, blocking the dragon breath of a young red dragon that was whizzing past, and protecting the lives of a dozen Flame Fist archers around him.

The person who held up the protective magic circle was Scar, and the moment he used this trick to block the flames of the young red dragon, the archers around Scar who had come to their senses and saved their lives immediately turned around and raised their specially made heavy crossbows at the red dragon that had not yet flown far away, shooting out more than a dozen swift and sharp crossbow arrows, and five or six of them hit the red dragon's thighs and tail very accurately.

But these things were made of ordinary iron after all. Even if they were carrying heavy crossbows and specially made heavy arrows to match them, it was almost impossible for such non-magical weapons to penetrate the scales of a dragon. This sparse rain of arrows ultimately only made the dragon roar in dissatisfaction. Without even looking back, it spit out another breath of dragon's breath towards the middle section of the towering Bodran Sea Tower itself.

The powerful heat and the extraordinary impact force of the dragon's breath made the tower shake again. But just as the dragon wanted to attach itself to the tower and directly destroy the six giant crossbows set up on top of the tower, as well as the soldiers attached to the outer wall of the tower itself and continuously shooting crossbow arrows from the shooting holes, a one-horned tiefling barbarian with blazing flames wrapped around his body and holding a huge hammer suddenly jumped down from the top of the tower!

Karak held the giant warhammer with both hands, and with the powerful output provided by the hell heart in his body, he used the brutal heavy blow technique to smash the young red dragon's head with this fierce hammer! The powerful force, fierce attack, and the bad position it was in caused the young red dragon, who seemed to have little combat experience, to lose its claws directly, and was smashed down from the middle of the tower by a hammer, falling on the hard rock floor around the sea tower!

But just as it was about to land on its back and crush the Githyanki knight riding on it into a meat pie, it actually tried to tilt to the left in the air. The red dragon knight on its back seemed to have known the dragon's thoughts long ago. As it tilted to the left, the knight also let go of his saddle, drew the silver sword on his back, and ran to the right side of the red dragon's body.

Finally, at the moment when the red dragon fell to the ground on its left side, the knight also found a suitable place to stand at the same time. He picked up his star silver sword, and quickly flashed towards Karak who had also fallen to the position of the dragon head, and started slashing with the sword.

Karak, who had already entered a state of rage, did not flinch at all. The two masters started a life-and-death bloody battle directly on the red dragon's body. However, the battle had not lasted for a few seconds before the young red dragon under their feet stood up again, shaking his head.

It was obvious that the fall just now did not cause much damage to this thick-skinned beast. Even the reason why it was shaking its head was due to the hammer that Karak had given it before. As soon as the dragon stood up, Karak and the Githyanki knight also lost their battlefield position at the same time.

After the knight landed, he made a few light jumps in an instant, and jumped back onto the red dragon's saddle along the bone spurs on the red dragon's claw arms, then suddenly pulled the extra-long reins connected to the dragon's jaw. The red dragon itself came to its senses at this time because of the pull, turned its head, and spit out a breath of hot dragon breath with a very large range and extremely strong lethality directly at Karak below.

But Karak was a tiefling, and she had a hell engine burning in her body. When it was running at full power, the flames would even cover her entire body. Even the hellfire could not do anything to her. She was a powerful barbarian. She could not take the breath of a young dragon seriously.

Karak ignored the red dragon, whose brain seemed to be confused by the hammer just now. Then, relying on his rich experience of fighting in Avernus for eight years and dealing with countless demon creatures of all sizes with various strange abilities, and defeating them one by one, he determined the best attack route, and then rushed towards the red dragon directly against the dragon's breath fire flow. Then, before the enemy could react, he quickly passed through the flames, raised the giant hammer, and directly broke the red dragon's right middle claw with the greatest force! At that moment, he couldn't help but let out a painful whine!
But the pain caused by Karak's hammer seemed to stimulate the dragon. At the moment the dragon roared, Karak wanted to raise the hammer and make persistent efforts to destroy its right claw in the shortest time. But just at the moment she raised the hammer, the behemoth in front of her instantly retracted its right claw, and then took less than 0.5 seconds to press down hard towards Karak's current position!
