The mage arrives

"Bahamut, that's a flying dragon!" The young centurion Sward saw the creatures swarming out of the floating fortress.He had just finished speaking, and the dragon shadows that were just black dots grew in size in an instant, and people could already see them flapping their wings.

What a great speed!

On the pale and rough skin like sandpaper, dark red spots grow, without scales or feathers, these bare flying reptiles are as ugly as twisted monsters born in nightmares.These flying dragons have deeply sunken eyes with blood-red vertical pupils.It has both the insidiousness of poisonous snakes and the ferocity of crocodiles.

"Raise your shields and prepare for an air strike!"

Sward came back to his senses, and finally gave a correct order before the flying dragon approached.He pointed to the arrow tower not far away, and said to Gordon: "Baron, please go there to take shelter, those flying dragons are not just kidding."

In the cognition formed by the military education that this young nobleman received since he was a child, mages have powerful spells and fragile bodies, and they need to be closely protected on the battlefield, so he kindly asked Gordon to hide, Don't be hurt by the sharp claws of the flying dragon.

Gordon shook his head slightly: "No, I can take care of myself. Besides, those flying dragons are different from the flying dragons you are familiar with."

The wyverns familiar to the soldiers of Freyton were biped wyverns that lived in the tropical jungle area in the southwestern part of the empire.The barbarian tribes there were able to tame this large creature to serve themselves, harassing the empire's borders and fighting against the imperial army.And the Fereiton people who are proud of their learning ability.In the battle with the jungle barbarians, he also learned how to tame the wyvern.

The Griffon Knights belonging to the royal family of Freyton, stationed in the east to resist the Thunderhawk Legion of the Black Dragon Empire.There are also flying dragon sentries from the tropical jungle, which are the three most important air forces of the Platinum Empire.However, due to the number and the difficulty of breeding, Griffin and Thunder Eagle are not popularized. Only the air sentinel who rides a biped dragon to fight is a flying unit in almost every province.

The word "almost" is used because wyverns from tropical jungle areas are not adapted to colder climates.So the Yuanshuang province has been so far.None of them have air power of their own - neither does the tundra orcs, who are the main enemy, anyway, so this is not a big problem.

But now, this situation seems to have changed.

Although the tundra orcs do not have the ability to tame the subspecies of bipedal wyverns that live on the cliffs along the coast of the endless ocean-the cold zone venomous wyverns.But Trinity Baptist Church seems to have this ability.And they also created a new species, just like they created the demon one-eyed in the first place.

According to the description of the golden dragon who had fought with these new hybrid creatures, Gordon named them "Chaos Poison Mist Dragon".

"Different? What's different?" Sward raised the officer's eagle-shaped shield etched with Bahamut's head over his head, and asked with a hunched body.

in his training.This is the most standard posture for defending against flying dragon air attacks.Wyverns often rely on their speed advantage from around 100 meters in the air.Sweep towards the ground in a circular trajectory, and then use its strong hind feet and sharp claws to attack the enemy while flying over the target.In addition, wyvern riders can also use projectile weapons-such as crossbows, javelins, hand axes, and even blazing glue to attack enemies on the ground.

Sward was still waiting for Gordon to answer his question, who knew that something that happened in front of him helped Gordon answer his question.

On the tower 30 meters away from Sward, a ten-man bow and arrow team was shooting at the swooping hybrid creature.The sixty-pound war bows in their hands are matched with tapered arrows.It can effectively pierce the rough skin of wyverns and cause damage to them.This flying reptile.It is completely different from giant dragons. Although their physical resilience is extremely amazing, there are no scales on their bodies, and their protection is not strong.

But the Poison Mist Wyverns have another ability that makes them not afraid of human bows and arrows - speed.

After flying away from the floating fortress, the well-trained poisonous mist dragons immediately divided into groups of five or six, and scattered to attack.Riding the biting cold wind of the evening, they swept down from the sky, and their piercing screams were accompanied by the whistling of air currents as their wings sliced ​​through the air, and came first.

Under the attack of the rain of arrows, a flying dragon opened its mouth and spit out a mouthful of dark green mist, covering the arrow tower, and then it galloped towards the next target with a few sparse arrows stuck on its body.

The unlucky archer on the arrow tower who inhaled the green mist immediately let go of the weapon in his hand weakly, and collapsed to the ground.Then, something even more terrifying happened.The green mist suddenly turned dark red.The surface of any object—whether it is masonry, armor, or human skin—immediately made a sizzling sound after coming into contact with this dark red gas, and quickly melted into a thick black liquid.

There was a strong sulfur smell in the air.

When Sward heard the screams of the soldiers on the arrow tower when they were dying, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

Just as the young centurion was trying to adapt to the battlefield environment, three poisonous fog dragons attacked the city wall he was stationing.

The poisonous mist sprayed by the ugly flying beast was almost pervasive, and the shields and armors in the hands of Freyton's soldiers could not defend against this vicious attack at all.Sward was about to let everyone evacuate from the city wall that was about to be baptized by poisonous fog, but found that the mage turned his back to him, staring at the flying dragon rushing in the sky, unmoved.

At some point in his hand, a metal staff with a simple shape appeared, and the arcane energy was rapidly gathering.

The tracking Magic Missile is undoubtedly the best attack spell against these extremely fast dragons.Even the golden dragon would be harmed if it was contaminated with the corrosive poisonous mist. Naturally, Gordon would not try it himself with his body, which is very fragile compared to the dragons, so he used the strongest method as soon as he got started.

A silver drop-shaped force field energy shot out from the tip of Gordon's staff, weaving a brilliant and eye-catching energy web on the city wall under the night.

The poisonous mist flying dragon flying in the front bumped into the energy net woven by Gordon with magic missiles, and its wings were blown off in the middle.Suffering heavy injuries, the flying beast was coughed out of the poisonous mist that was originally stored in the glands of its throat, and the blood beads from the wound splashed into the air, forming a dark red blood line. His body fell quickly and fell on the city wall.

Gordon threw the cyclone condensed in his palm above his head.Suddenly a gust of wind blew up on the city wall.This is a one-ring evocation school spell: Darthon's Cool Breeze.Gordon first learned this spell to use it in conjunction with the Death Cloud spell.Or keep this spell on a suitable object, and it can be used as an electric fan in summer.

But today, the effect of blowing away the poisonous mist sprayed by these flying dragons is surprisingly good.

"Quickly subdue it, don't let it move around." Gordon pointed to the poisonous fog dragon that had lost its wings and was struggling on the city wall.

Only then did Sward come back to his senses.What happened just now was too short, and he felt that he needed to take time to reflect on how the baron shot down a flying dragon and then saved the entire process of soldiers on the city wall.

The centurion called a few soldiers to hold the ropes and began to tie up the injured flying dragon in a hurry.Gordon casually cast another spell named after Dasson, the evocation school mage: Dasson's Quenching Prison.

The low temperature can not only reduce the activity of the poisonous mist dragon, a creature mixed with abyss blood, but also stop the bleeding from its wounds.

Such a powerful poisonous fog, if countermeasures cannot be found as soon as possible, then in future battles, these flying dragons will pose a great threat to Gaoyan City from the air.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, the mage's spells are very powerful, and they can do things that cannot be imagined by common sense.But Gordon knew that the real advantage of a mage was knowledge and wisdom.Even a legendary mage, on a battlefield of 10 people like Gaoyan City, cannot use spells to decide the outcome of a battle.But with wisdom and knowledge, a mage can change the course of a battle without consuming a single spell slot.

Gordon knew that his real stage was not on the city wall facing the enemy, but in the arcane laboratory.If he could find a way to deal with the poisonous fog of the flying dragon as soon as possible, he would be able to sweep away a terrible enemy from the sky of Gaoyan City.

"Take this guy down, and after the battle tonight, send it to my laboratory in the Red Rock Fortress."

Seeing the screams and screams on other sections of the city wall due to the erosion of the poisonous fog, Sward couldn't help but feel grateful that he had an outstanding mage like Baron Freeman by his side, who easily dealt with the attack of the poisonous fog dragon.Now the mage made a request, and he immediately complied, and sent several soldiers to carry the flying dragon, which was almost unconscious from the cold, down the city wall.

At this time, after some air raids on the city wall, the group of poisonous mist flying dragons all raised the distance, and then gathered together, heading towards the red giant rock fortress.

Even at such a distance, Gordon could sense a huge amount of arcane energy gathering on the rooftop at the top of the fortress.Maybe the enemy leader in the floating fortress also noticed this change, so he ordered the flying dragon to harass.

At this time, night had completely fallen.A huge bolt of lightning suddenly shot out over the fortress located in the center of Gaoyan City.This shining silver snake illuminated half of the dark sky, and swept across the flying dragons mercilessly.

Amidst the crackling sound, Gordon saw black shadows falling continuously.

Immediately afterwards, one after another lightning shot out from the sky above the fortress, and they merged with the first and largest lightning bolt to form a leaping beautiful silver dragon.

This virtual creature made purely of lightning energy took those poisonous mist flying dragons that were showing off their might a moment ago as prey, and launched a fierce and merciless killing.

The sparks produced by the lightning hitting the dragon body continue to bloom in the dark night. Behind this beautiful and dangerous landscape is the fall of poisonous mist flying dragons one after another.The night wind blew, and the burnt smell produced by the electric shock in the sky was also sent to the top of the city.
