Chapter 298 6.46 The Border of Wessex (3)

Looking at the entire Western Continent, the reason why Wessex can remain the leader of the seven countries in the English Isles is that the dragon knights cultivated by Ecbert at great expense account for 90% of the credit.

This ancient beast, which was first domesticated by the romantic French, is the best in the continent in terms of attack power, defense power, movement speed, and endurance.

The participation of one or two dragon knights can often change the situation. At this time, three dragons took off from a valley not far away. Under the control of the dragon knights, they spread their wings and glided towards Loki.

The Viking warriors on the ground could even see the billowing smoke coming out of the mouths of the majestic beasts. This was a sign that they had completed the accumulation of power and were ready to launch the dragon's breath, but the lightning in the sky that could split the terror bird struck the dragon covered with heavy scales, but it did not have any killing effect.

As for the dragon riders riding on the neck of the giant dragon, they were wearing magic armor blessed by the "Archbishop of Canterbury". This armor not only provides excellent defense, but also greatly suppresses the "psychic attacks" from various God's Chosen Ones.

The thunder attack of the Thunder Caller did not have any killing effect on them.

But Loki was not panicked, but a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The most terrible enemy on the battlefield was the lurkers hiding in unknown places. He was only afraid that these dragon riders would hide in the valley and not appear.

As long as they dared to show their bodies, this valley would be their burial place.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the "baggage team" behind the Viking pirates immediately opened the sampan on the carriage. As the wooden boards fell off from both sides of the carriage one by one, there was not a single grain of rice on the carriage that seemed to be transporting food and supplies!

Instead, there were more than 30 "Dragon-Slaying Crossbows" seized from the Wanghai Fortress!

When he saw this scene, Ulysses Elan stretched out his trembling fingers and had completely lost the ability to organize his words. There has never been a general in the entire Western Continent who dared to go to war without military rations!

Along the way, Loki passed by large tracts of farmhouses and fertile fields, and never let his soldiers plunder!

Everyone, even the King of Mercia, thought that his military carriages were carrying food and grass.

Who would have thought that this crazy lord would only let the soldiers carry three days of rations! After three days, everyone had no food to eat, because the carriages were not pulling food at all, but thirty dragon-slaying crossbows!

This man had already calculated that when they approached the border of Wessex, the Wessex army would appear on time.

Loki successfully deceived everyone, so the flying dragon immediately ushered in a catastrophe.

Although Viking warriors generally do not know how to use crossbows, Slavic hunters who are good at mountain hunting are quite proficient in it. Turning the muzzle to face the dragon in the air, when the first round of arrows was shot into the sky, 30 giant steel arrows about 3 meters long and weighing 40 kilograms immediately shot the leading dragon into a hedgehog.

Before it could spit out a flame, the huge figure full of steel arrows fell quickly from the air.

The Wessex captain "Ander Evans" who was straddling the dragon's neck was furious at this time. He had many questions in his mind, such as how did this group of Vikings load the dragon-killing crossbow onto the carriage under the gaze of thousands of Mercian people?

Why didn't anyone warn Wessex?

For example, how could such a commander who dared not to carry military rations during the march survive in this chaotic world?

Unfortunately, he couldn't ask any questions at this time.

He tightly grasped the scales behind the dragon's neck, roaring in obscure dragon language to try to let the diving dragon escape from the coverage of the dragon-killing crossbow. However, he was diving down at this time, and the strong wind pouring into his mouth made it impossible for him to make an effective shout. At the same time, the dragon's breath that was still brewing in the dragon's mouth had to be released.

When the flying dragon spewed flames at the Vikings holding up their shields on the ground, Ander knew that his life was about to come to an end.

Seeing at least 20 hard steel spears piercing into the dragon's intestines, he could hear the beast's dying howl, and when the dead beast fell to the ground, he didn't even have time to jump off the dragon's neck, and a short axe flying towards him had already embedded in his head.

This short axe ended his life instantly.

Stretching out a big foot to step on Ander's head, while pulling out the short axe with force, Loki once again realized the power of the body of the ancestors.

According to Patriarch Francis's understanding of dragon knights, to tame a dragon, one must first defeat it.

Strong men who can control dragon knights generally studied in the "War College" in Constantinople. This is the top military academy in the Western Continent, and the minimum number of warriors who can successfully graduate from this school is at least Sequence 5.

As for defeating a dragon, it must be upgraded to at least Sequence 3, or even Sequence 2.

In human civilization, this can already be called a "demigod body".

In the "Four-way Battle" that took place in Hanshui Village last fall, the female dragon knight Odo Fourteen, who possessed the power of the "God of War" of Sequence 2 of the War Path, was pierced through the head by a sword from Master Qinghe in the banquet hall of Hanshui Castle.

In that battle, Loki, Jerome, Lawrence, Katya, and even the female pharaoh Nefertiti, all the fighting forces of Hanshui Village came out in full force, and only at the cost of almost all of them being disabled did they manage to kill Master Qinghe by chance.

However, when Loki discovered that the hand axe he threw could actually smash the dragon rider's head with one blow.

Although he was far inferior to the Tang Dynasty sword cultivators in terms of combat ability, at least he had the ability to fight against them.

**

Watching the death of the dragon knight captain Ander Evans. The last remaining dragon knight immediately glided high after launching a dragon breath attack, and withdrew from the battlefield like a frightened bird.

The long reload time of the dragon-killing crossbow allowed him to save his life by chance.

At the end of the battle, the ground forces of the four-nation coalition had been killed and wounded, and the terror bird knight corps had all died in lightning. The battle-hardened dragon knight knew that it was simply seeking death to fight against this group of brutal Vikings with his own strength.

Loki did not chase him. After watching him leave, he organized his subordinates to clean up the battlefield and continued to set up camp.

After this battle, he confirmed that he had entered the border of Wessex.

Killing thousands of cavalry in today's battle was just an appetizer.

Tomorrow's attack on the "Stone Forest Highlands" in the "Stone Forest County" province will be his true display of his fangs to these enemies.
