Chapter 454 The Strength of the Dragon Clan (First Update)

In Li Chuan's ears, the dragon's roars translated as:

"Hahaha, my lord Alduin has returned and resurrected us dragons. This world will eventually be destroyed. Let me, Milmenir, stretch my muscles and teach you ignorant and foolish mortals a lesson!"

There are three pieces of information revealed in the dragon's words.

First, this dragon is named Milmenir.

Second, Alduin, the destroyer of the world, returns.

Third, Alduin is resurrecting the dead dragons, and this dragon that attacked the watchtower is one of them.

Many books record that the dragons are the children of the dragon god Akatosh, so they cannot be truly killed.

Even if someone is killed by chance, they can be instantly resurrected by Alduin, the World Eater.

This is one of the main reasons why humans were initially in a one-sided situation in their war with dragons, even after they learned the power of magic.

Imagine everyone sacrifices countless lives to finally kill a dragon, only for Alduin to come over and use Makka Pakka a few times to revive it. How are you supposed to fight then?

The book states that the reason they were able to achieve victory was because, according to legend, three epic heroes of the Nords killed Alduin at the World's Roar, preventing the dragons from being resurrected.

According to this dragon, Alduin was not killed and has begun to resurrect the dead dragons, preparing to start another war between humans and dragons and destroy the entire world.

If this dragon isn't lying, then things are really in trouble.

"Let's take it first and then talk about the rest!"

While Li Chuan was pondering, the dragon Milmenir had already engaged in battle with the elite troops of Whiterun led by Irelles.

This match was a one-sided crushing defeat.

It's not that the elites of Irelles and Whiterun are weak; the main problem is that they can't fly, so they can only rely on bows and arrows to damage the dragons.

The dragon flew in the air, opened its mouth and roared, and terrifying dragon fire spewed out.

Aside from the dark elf Iriles, who has a natural resistance to fire, and a few high-ranking guards with enchanted shields who can barely withstand dragon fire.

The other ordinary guards would find it difficult to fight against the powerful dragon fire.

The dragon would occasionally descend and tease the group, giving them hope of victory, prompting them to wield axes and greatswords and hack away.

As a result, apart from Irelles and a very few high-ranking guards wielding enchanted weapons who could barely inflict some negligible damage on the dragon's tough hide, the others couldn't even break through its defenses.

With a single sweep of its tail, the dragon could easily send a large area flying.

He was still arrogantly shouting:

"Hahaha, I never expected mortals to have become so weak. Not a single one can even roar like a dragon. It seems my lord is destined to win this time!"

In ancient times, the powerful dragon race was defeated not only because Alduin suddenly disappeared and some dragons betrayed and helped humans, but also primarily because the ancient Nords also mastered various dragon shouts.

Under the combined effect of the dense roars of dragons, many dragons were unable to fly and could only fight hand-to-hand on the ground, eventually being ganged up on and killed.

Otherwise, how could mortals possibly kill dragons? Even if a dragon can't defeat a dragon, it can simply fly away. Mortals, however, cannot fly.

Moreover, there are strong and weak dragons, including high-level and low-level dragons. Many low-level dragons only master one type of dragon roar, while mortals, although also difficult to master, are numerous.

A battle to slay a dragon could involve hundreds of people, and if even a few dozen Nords among them master the Dragon Shout, then dozens of Dragon Shouts could strike the dragon simultaneously.

As for why almost no Nords still use Dragon Shout, Li Chuan learned some information from those historical records.

The main reason is that the Nord barbarians love to fight too much. After the dragon crisis was resolved, the Nords were embroiled in one civil war after another.

The Nords, who could roar like dragons, were so destructive that they caused the earth to collapse and mountains and rivers to shatter.

Therefore, after the civil war ended and the continent was unified, the power of the Dragon Roar was naturally gradually sealed off, to the point that it has now been basically lost.

"Commander, we are no match for it at all, what should we do?"

Several high-ranking guards worked together to form a shield wall to block the dragon's fire, protecting the ordinary guards behind them who were desperately shooting arrows, and shouted with difficulty to Irelles, who was firing magic arrows at rapid succession.

In just a few minutes of fighting, half of them were already lying on the ground, while the dragon only had a few insignificant bloodstains on its body.

"Withdraw, withdraw to Whiterun and attack using the city's magical ballistae."

Ireles had intended to buy more time for the defense of Whiterun, but it was clear that he could not delay any longer, otherwise the losses would be too great, and there would probably not be enough manpower for the defense.

Taking advantage of the moment when the dragon had just finished breathing fire and was flying through the air, Irelas shouted and led everyone who was still able to move to immediately turn around and retreat towards Whiterun.

However, the dragon was clearly unwilling to let them leave so easily. It spun around and landed directly in front of Irelles and the others, blocking their way back to Whiterun.

"I disagree. Do you think you can escape?"

Seeing his escape route cut off, Irelles' expression changed, but it was quickly replaced by ferocity:

"Everyone, listen to my command! Fight to the death!"

To become the commander of the guards of Whiterun as a dark elf and hold supreme military power over Whiterun, she is also a ruthless person.

Since retreat is impossible, let's fight to the death. Even if we can't kill the dragon, we should at least make it lose a few more pieces of flesh to ease the pressure on Whiterun's defenses.

"Fight to the death!"

All the guards of Whiterun roared and pounded their shields with their longswords.

The Nords have no shortage of fighting spirit, especially since their families are all in the city. If the dragons break through, the entire Whiterun will be turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Looking at Irelles and the others who were preparing for a fight to the death, Milmoniel's eyes revealed a hint of mockery.

In his eyes, these mortals who couldn't roar like dragons couldn't hurt him no matter how many there were, especially since he had only been playing around and hadn't used half of his strength.

He let out a dragon roar:

"Disarm!"

The powerful sonic boom engulfed everyone in Iriles.

In an instant, all the weapons that everyone was holding—swords, axes, hammers, shields, bows and arrows—flew out of their hands involuntarily.

Clearly, this time the dragon's roar was no longer a roar of blazing fire, but a different kind of roar that had a special effect of dispelling weapons.

The people who were about to fight desperately were now dumbfounded, and a sense of despair welled up in their hearts.

With their weapons removed, they were truly lambs to the slaughter before the mighty dragon, unable even to bite off a piece of its flesh before they died.
