Chapter 469: Dragon
"Huh?" Nao heard what she said and looked up: "Ah... indeed. Are you here to search us?"
Erina: "Well, let's hide for now. It won't be good if we are seen."
The two held the horses and led them to an area with denser trees.
Although the view from the air is good, there are quite a few blind spots.
It is quite simple to avoid being discovered by air units in this kind of mountain forest.
The dragon hovered in the nearby sky for a while.
After that, he flew away from this place.
Watching it leave, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Erina also put down the charm in her hand.
It was a defensive charm.
It can withstand sudden attacks from dragon knights.
Different from dragoons, dragon knights are quite powerful in combat and can master dragon language. Most dragon knights have also exchanged dragon blood and can use some dragon magic that can only be used by dragons.
After they find an enemy on the ground, they can command the dragon to launch long-range attacks such as breath and explosive bombs in that direction. You can also use magic, bows and arrows to carry out long-range bombing.
Generally speaking, dragon knights are equipped with spears and longbows. Some bows are even very large, and the arrows they shoot are the same as javelins, with a length of more than one meter. A thrown spear is often more powerful than a fired arrow. These spears may even be imbued with magic power, causing a large explosion after hitting something.
The power is probably at least as powerful as a box of bomber bombs.
Therefore, the Dragon Knight himself, like the dragon, is a weapon of large-scale destruction. And it's not just the air force. He can give up the gap at any time and land on the ground to participate in infantry combat.
Unlike the Viking fighter, the Dragon Knight will not be inferior to a dog when it lands.
First of all, it is difficult for dragon knights to fall to death, and they usually have great resistance to falling damage.
Therefore, they can jump directly from high altitude. The moment it hits the ground, a range of killing magic may burst out.
Then, there is the issue of infantry combat skills - in many countries, dragon knights are among the most advanced elite arms. Having a dragon knight can indicate that the country is quite powerful, so such a person is definitely a master among masters.
Erina felt that every visible dragon knight, regardless of their magic ability, must at least have a level of righteousness in terms of melee combat ability.
Dragoons are essentially dragoons, but they are among the elite units. To distinguish between dragon knights and dragoons, in addition to looking at the gorgeousness of the armor and weapons, it is also necessary to look at the dragon they ride.
Dragon knights usually ride dragons over a certain size.
But dragoons often ride flying dragons that are several meters long - they cannot control the giant dragon.
The giant wing-shaped dragon that just flew over Erina and the two seemed to have fairly developed wings.
Therefore, it can use this part to launch devastating attacks that are no less powerful than dragon breath.
That is to say, it can shake its wings to create strong airflow, which can directly blow away and shatter a large area of forest trees. It can even cause tornadoes and storms directly on a local scale.
Therefore, dragons possess mass destructive power in war.
It can also easily destroy a city.
This is why many stories in ancient times include scenes of warriors fighting dragons.
Some stories are about the dragon taking away the treasure, and it is necessary to kill it and regain the property.
Some are dragons that have attacked the city and want to protect it from destruction.
Some regard killing the dragon as a test. To prove that you are a great person.
There is also the most classic one. It was the dragon who had captured the princess and wanted to rescue her.
These warriors often choose one of these three identities - princes, knights, and greedy adventurers (braves) who don't know where they come from.
If the prince is the protagonist, then this guy is basically there to save the princess. These stories usually seemed boring to Erina.
If the knight is the protagonist, he basically saves the princess. This princess was usually his sweetheart, but for various reasons, mainly class barriers, the old king did not agree to their marriage. As a result, the princess was captured and it became his opportunity. The king agreed to marry the princess to him as long as he could save her.
Then, there are the adventurers.
This guy does it all.
For example, after the princess was captured and no knights or wizards in the country could fight her, the old king announced that whoever could rescue the princess would marry him. So the adventurer sets out, gets the title and princess after killing the dragon, and reaches the pinnacle of life.
In the same way, several other classic story plots can also be applied to adventurers using this template.
A giant dragon attacked the city, and no one in the city could fight it. Then an adventurer who came from nowhere came out to kill it, and became a hero admired by everyone.
An ordinary adventurer wants to do something - such as marry a princess, and then the king makes him pass three trials before allowing the princess to marry him. The first two don't matter, the third is usually just to kill the dragon.
Of course, the adventurer successfully won the battle after the so-called "narrow escape", and then gained beauty, glory and wealth.
It is also a common scenario for adventurers to conquer the dragon in order to obtain its property.
Sometimes dragons don't do any bad things and are just killed for no apparent reason. Adventurers are so greedy.
If this were a game, adventurers might even kill the dragon over and over again out of the need to explode equipment and earn gold coins, so that it would never reach the reality of death.
Erina never understood why some adventurers suddenly became so powerful.
They may have never touched a sword before, but at the beginning of the story, they can take down such a powerful dragon with the best sword in the village.
Although she knew it was just a story, it was too childish.
In reality, this kind of person would only end up being killed by a blow from the giant dragon - yes, just a slight blow from the dragon would be enough to burst out a powerful airflow. Ordinary people will be blown directly several meters, or even more than ten meters, and then tragically hit a certain wall.
With any luck you'll just break all the bones in your body.
The unfortunate majority of people will just be slapped against the wall and die like a tattered rag or a slimy ball of minced meat.
The death scene was very unspectacular and not pretty at all.
Dragons are among the most powerful creatures. Far stronger than some gods.
Whether it's a pterosaur or a serpentine dragon. Even after they become humans, their strength will be terrifyingly high.
Anyone who has the ability to fight them head-on for three minutes and then escape without getting hurt is very powerful.
Erina didn't want to provoke this dragon knight at all.
Because she felt like she couldn't beat him.
In fact, even if all members of the Tuanzi Club were here, she doubted whether they could kill this dragon knight and his dragon.
