I was a lord farming, how did I become an emperor?

Chapter 18 Dragon Slayer

"It's a wyvern!"

They're coming for us!

Ryan hurriedly shouted a warning!
Rhodes didn't know what a wyvern was, but judging from its appearance, it was not something to be trifled with, so he immediately shouted a command.

"Women and children, all go to the cellar!"

"Everyone else, prepare for battle!"

"Hurry up!"

Seeing the huge creature in the sky, no one dared to be careless. The woman threw down the food in the pot, picked up her child, and ran to the cellar!

The soldiers had already gotten up, gripping their weapons tightly, looking up at the sky, swallowing hard, and retreating.

This is understandable, since people are always afraid of creatures they have never seen before.

Rhodes was no exception, but as a lord, he could neither retreat nor panic.

"Raine, do you recognize this?"

“I know it! My grandfather encountered one when he was young! This thing is related to the legendary dragon. Except for its small size and lack of magic, it's almost identical to a dragon!”

Ryan hurriedly explained, "It took over the mine in the mountains about two weeks ago. I saw it when I went to collect ore..."

"Then you're in charge!"

Before Renn could finish speaking, Rhodes ordered without hesitation, "Everyone cooperate with you!"

Only Renn here knows about wyverns, and as a hunter, he is the most suitable person to deal with it.

Professionals should do professional things, and Rod is willing to trust Ryan.

Without any formalities, Ryan accepted the bow and arrow and quiver that Durant offered, saying, "I hope you and that strong man can draw the attention of the wyverns."

"it is good!"

"no problem!"

Durant and Gunner responded in unison.

"Other soldiers, stay away from it and distract it. If it spots you, run back into the cabin immediately and don't let it catch you!"

"Its wings and scales are very hard, and ordinary weapons can't hurt it. Its only weakness is the soft, whitish skin on its lower abdomen; otherwise, you'd have to stick your weapon into its mouth!"

"Whatever you do, don't get scratched by it! Its claws and teeth are poisonous!"

"And the spikes on its tail!"

After quickly explaining the characteristics of the wyvern, Renn immediately turned to his companions and ordered, "Dolan, Ma'ao, prepare the grappling hooks. The rest of you, follow me and deal with it!"

"it is good!"

The hunters responded in unison and quickly scattered in all directions to prepare.

Raine finally fixed his gaze on Rhodes. "My lord, you shouldn't be used as bait. You'd better go inside as well!"

"it is good."

After being adopted as the fourth son, Rhodes was also qualified to learn the family's Natural Wind Breathing Technique, but after only a little over a month of learning, he could only be considered a knight's squire.

Moreover, as a lord, he was not suited to charging into battle, so Rhodes turned around and went into the wooden house without hesitation.

The two-legged dragon soared into the sky above the village in the blink of an eye, its nearly ten-meter wingspan obscuring the sky and casting a terrifying shadow on the ground.

By this time, everyone had scattered and hidden in the wooden houses, leaving only Durant and Gunle in the open space of the village.

"This thing really looks like the dragon in the picture book!"

Gunle smacked his lips in evaluation, his hand gripping the battle axe so tightly it had turned white.

The wyvern's dark blue scales gleamed with a metallic sheen, and its enormous lizard head was almost identical to a dragon's, except for the lack of horns. But as its name suggests, it had no forelimbs, only two legs.

Gunle raised his battle axe to the sky and shouted, "Hey, big guy, come on!"

Unfortunately, the wyvern didn't seem to notice him and continued to hover in the air, as if searching for something.

"How dare you look down on us?"

Gunle complained, then picked up the spear beside him, aimed it at the two-legged wyvern in the air, and swung it at it!
clang!
The sound of metal clashing rang out, and the spear struck the wyvern without causing any damage, then fell straight back.

However, this time it successfully caught the attention of the wyvern, which swooped down towards Gonle!

"Depend on!"

Gunle cursed angrily and quickly dodged to the side!
The wyvern relentlessly pursued him, forcing him to dodge and weave using the terrain, instantly destroying the bottles and jars in the village.

At that moment, Durant seized the opportunity to rush in front of the wyvern and slashed at its wings!
clang!
Another crisp metallic sound rang out, and only a shallow cut mark remained on the wings of the wyvern!

Even though he had a premonition, Durant was still somewhat surprised!

Even its wings are so strong!
Durant wanted to unleash a second sword strike, but the wyvern's tail had already swept across!

Bang!
The shack was instantly reduced to ruins, with dust billowing everywhere. Durant scrambled to the side to avoid being buried in the rubble.

At this moment, the guards' daggers and spears flew out from all directions. Although they did not harm the wyvern, they made it dizzy for a moment.

Wyverns inherit the dragon's irritability and arrogance; such attacks are not harmful, but they are an insult to the dragon.

It flapped its wings, preparing to take off again, when suddenly two claws flew out from both sides, precisely wrapping around the hind legs of the two-legged wyvern!

"Pretty!"

Gunle wiped the dirt from the corner of his mouth, grabbed his axe, and charged toward the wyvern, only to be blinded by the dust kicked up by its wings!
At the same time, what was shocking was that the wyvern slowly rose into the air using the power of its wings, pulling the hunter on the other side of the grappling hook together!
"help!"

Durant shouted, and several soldiers ran out, grabbed the ropes, and together pulled the wyvern back to the ground!
Several sharp arrows shot through the air, accurately targeting the lower abdomen of the two-legged wyvern!
But in that instant, the dragon's wings snapped together, blocking all the arrows!
The wyvern lost its balance and crashed straight to the ground!
Bang!
With a loud bang, dust billowed up, and the people pulling the rope all fell to the ground due to inertia!
At the same time, its sharp wings cut the rope of the hook on the left, and the freed bipedal dragon immediately set its sights on the crowd that had fallen on the right!

"Spread out!"

Durant shouted a reminder, but what ordinary soldier could react as quickly as him?
When the soldiers saw the ferocious face of the wyvern growing larger and larger in front of them, they were all terrified!

His weak legs wouldn't obey him at all, and he struggled miserably on the ground but couldn't get up at all!
"Help!"

"help me!"

"I don't want to die!"

The soldiers cried out in despair, some even calling for their mothers!

In the distance, Raine led the hunters to keep shooting at the wyvern, but the normally sharp arrows were like an old man's limp wax head, unable to penetrate the hard scales, and fell to the ground with a mournful cry!
"It's over!"

"I'll never be able to eat my mom's wheat pancakes again..."

Just when the soldiers were in despair, a figure darted out from the nearby wooden house!
He swung an incredibly thick heavy sword and, like a god descending to earth, slashed down at the neck of the two-legged dragon!
Stab it!

The sound of metal being cut was deafening as the wyvern's head was severed!

The dragon's head, dripping with blood, traced a beautiful, crimson arc through the air before its body crashed straight to the ground!
Bang!
A loud bang, and dust billowed everywhere!

When the dust settled, a figure that everyone was extremely familiar with appeared before them!
"The Baron?!"

Gangle let out a deafening scream that echoed through the utterly silent village!

For a moment, everyone stared wide-eyed, holding their breath as they stared incredulously at their lord!
"I was shocked."

Rhodes leaned on his sword, patted his chest, and let out a long breath.

Then a prompt appeared in front of you.
[First hunt of a territory monster belonging to the dragon type unlocks the stat: Sub-Dragon Slayer]
