Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 542: Battle of the Solitary Island (5)

"With this strength and this number, these constructs are fully capable of hunting down dragons. We can no longer fight them on the ground, but Ukalon..."

Chocolat pulled at Ukalon's reins desperately, trying to wake it up, but his efforts were completely unable to change the current situation. Ukalon was still venting its anger wantonly. Facing an Iron Guard's giant sword that was stabbing at it, it only needed to wave its claws to knock the guard crooked and almost fall. With a swift tail swing, the third Iron Guard was also blasted away without any chance of fighting back.

“Hissing!!!”

At this time, Ukalon let out a hearty roar. He knocked down these big guys, which were only slightly smaller than him, so cleanly and efficiently. Such a result slightly satisfied his desire for destruction, and allowed the young dragon to regain his previous arrogant confidence. He even felt from the bottom of his heart that these things were nothing special.

But what Ukalon didn't notice was that, except for the Iron Guard whose arm was torn off by its bite, the other two Iron Guards who were knocked away by him did not suffer injuries that would completely make them lose their combat ability. With their excellent shock absorption system and fast limb coordination, it didn't even take more than two seconds for these big guys to get up from the ground and switch to a charging posture.

But Ukalon roared in ecstasy because of this temporary victory. The few seconds it wasted gave the surrounding Iron Guards, Consultant Florek who was hiding with advanced invisibility, Minsk and Xiaobu an opportunity.

Almost at the same time, behind Ukalon, Minsk, who was under high-level invisibility and could not be seen even when launching an attack, raised a huge bow invisibly, drew the arrow on the bow in an instant, and aimed at Ukalon's hind legs.

At that moment, the thorns composed of magic power quickly entangled on the [Dragon's Fatal Arrow] that was given to him by the Grand Duke himself and was specifically used to deal with this attack.

The reason this kind of arrow was invented is to target a certain race specifically, and it can cause huge damage to the specific race after hitting the target. Previously, Minsk was able to shoot Ukalon down from the sky with one arrow. In addition to his accurate shooting, he directly hit its eye, and this kind of arrow also played a big role in it.

The thorns wrapped around this arrow are the ranger's signature skill [Entrapment Strike]. If hit by this move, the creature hit will be instantly wrapped and entangled by the energy thorns on the arrow, and firmly bound to the spot by these tough thorns.

Ordinary rangers can only restrain creatures the size of wolves, tigers, and bears with this move. But if this move is used by a legendary ranger like Minsk, and combined with the dragon's fatal arrow, the thorns that grow from it can even restrain a young red dragon like Ukalon for a short period of time!
Boom! ! !
With the sound of a bowstring being released, the powerful arrow flew out and accurately hit the base of the red dragon's right leg. The special attack attribute of the dragon's fatal arrow allowed the arrow to penetrate Ukalon's scales directly, deeply embedded in its flesh and blood, and blasted a huge hole with a diameter of more than 50 centimeters, turning its originally proud roar into a whine. After that, a large number of thorns suddenly erupted, greatly expanding the wound. Endless thorns spread out instantly, firmly locking one of its legs and tail in place.

Having lost one of its limbs and its tail for balance, Ukalon could not even fly away at that moment. It was even nearly knocked to the ground by this move. This move really hurt it badly, but the huge pain that followed did not bring back the sanity of the giant beast, but made it even more crazy.

After all, red dragons are such a species. This race is the most powerful among the five-colored dragons. Relying on this power, they could have obtained a stronger status and influence. However, because of this manic temper that comes from deep in their blood, the proportion of young red dragons that can survive to adulthood among the five-colored dragons is even rarer than that of the white dragons, which are known as the shame of the dragon clan.

It is rumored that the reason why the Dragon Queen Tiamat made a contract with Ghis in ancient times and brought the red dragon clan under her command was to let the Ghisyanki help the red dragon survive the most dangerous and most vulnerable to death in childhood.

And this policy is indeed effective. Most of the time, the Githyanki can fulfill their oaths and do their best to protect the red dragons through the most vulnerable periods. But they are astral pirates after all. Every robbery is accompanied by risks, big or small, and there will always be times when they hit the iron wall. Moreover, once a red dragon enters its youth, it will become very difficult to control. Therefore, among the Githyanki, every once in a while you can always hear the story of a dragon rider dying along with his dragon.

Chocolat used to be one of the listeners of the stories, and he recalled that when he had just become a knight, he had laughed at the incompetence of his predecessors and thought that they were not worthy of the queen's favor and of becoming a glorious knight. After all, it would have been fine if they had died themselves, but they also caused the tribe to lose the precious fighting power of the red dragon, which was really a shame among the Githyanki.

Originally, until today, his idea had not changed at all, but now, yes, until now, Chocolat knew that he was wrong, he knew that he was extremely wrong, because only after he actually rode on a red dragon that was completely in a state of madness, could he personally experience how desperate his predecessors were.

At this moment, Chocolat had tried every means to calm Ukalon down, but no matter whether it was language, psychic powers, or reins, he tried every means but failed to bring Ukalon back to his senses!
All one could do was watch it act like a dog that had been hit from behind with a stick. After being provoked, it disregarded everything and ignored all the dangers ahead. It just turned around and rushed towards the things behind it, biting, spitting and smashing things!
This will only expose one's own weaknesses, with no tactics at all, and can even be said to be a wanton destruction of self-destruction. In a battle of this level, this is no different from voluntarily giving up one's own life!

"Wake up! Ukalon! Get out of here! Look behind you!"
