Broad World

Chapter 742 Demonstrating Strength (Part 1)

More than a dozen evil dragons and a terrifying-looking giant stayed near the city gate, causing the young officer in charge to break out in a cold sweat. He even felt his hands and feet trembling uncontrollably, and his eyesight also fainted. Fuzzy, it is already very difficult to just keep standing. ,

Obviously, this was influenced by the strong power of the dragon, especially the black dragon Oroxis and the brown dragon Ortagus now have the power equivalent to the ancient dragon, not only has grown a lot in size, but also exudes a terrifying aura all the time. The momentum, even other adult dragons will inevitably be affected, let alone a mere mid-level officer.

Just when the young man was about to lose his hold, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and patted him on the shoulder.

"Okay, kid, go down and rest, leave this place to me."

Speaking of which, Corey stood up with a dignified expression, his eyes were fixed on the visually impactful picture not far in front of him, his heart seemed to be held by a big hand, and his breathing became short of breath. stand up. Only now did he know why the soldiers who reported him couldn't even speak clearly. Normal people should be regarded as determined if they didn't faint after seeing such a scene.

"My lord! You should hurry back, this place is too dangerous." As soon as the young officer came to his senses, he immediately grabbed Corey's hand, trying to drag him away from the city wall.

"No, I have my own mission, which is to negotiate with the dragons outside. They haven't launched an attack now, which means they don't want to destroy the city, so there's no need to worry too much. Hurry up and ask someone to open the city gate, don't you Do you think a city gate can stop the opponent?" Corey scolded in a low voice.

He understood that the young officer wanted to protect himself, but he must not back down at this time. Although he is no longer a paladin. But obedience and responsibility are still engraved in his bones. So the more dangerous you are, the more courageous you are to take it. Even death is fearless.

Soon, under Corey's insistence, the closed iron gate was slowly pulled open, and he came to the front of the dragons with heavy steps alone, and bowed deeply.

"The king of the sky, the descendants of the great dragon queen Tiamat, what is the purpose of your coming here, is it for destruction or for treasure?"

"Hahahaha! Human. You don't seem to recognize me?" Oroxes shook his head and laughed.

But it's no wonder that since the last time we cooperated, he was just a black dragon who had just grown up. No matter the size, appearance, color of the scales, or the dragon power that was about to form a substance, he was very different. Like a strong spirit, it is almost twice as big, and it is difficult for anyone to associate the two together.

Hearing this familiar voice, Corey was quick-witted in an instant, and quickly turned his head to glance at the brown dragon who was yawning boredly beside him, and shouted involuntarily: "Yes...it's you! By the gods! That's it! How long has passed. How did you become like... like ancient dragons!"

Ortagus lowered his head and squinted his eyes, with a sinister smile on his ferocious face: "How. Are you surprised? Look at those poor guys on the city wall, they are almost scared to pee their pants. Let them put Put away the ridiculous crossbow, you should know that those things are useless against dragons."

"Damn it! It's not all because of you guys!" As soon as this matter was mentioned, Corey immediately lost his temper. "May I ask which city would not be nervous when faced with a dozen giant dragons about to enter the sky? Especially you also brought a terrifying multi-armed giant! He is a living siege machine, and once it appears, it means war!"

"war?"

Aloxes curled his lips in disdain, pointed at the evil dragons chained by the "Mithril Chain of Sorrow" behind him and said: "We just participated in a war in the south, and we saw that those chained guys didn't , They are all captives, slaves of the great master. The giant also surrendered after the defeat, so there is no need for you to worry."

In his eyes, compared to the magical battle that Sodenisla just ended, human society is really too backward. Even the Battlemage Group of the Kingdom of Cormyr, which the bards have been advocating, seems to be compared with the magical skills of the elves. Like a strong man and a baby, just the extended application of a Mystic—prohibited by the School of Magic—can destroy more than 60% of the combat power of the Battle Mage Group in an instant.

Of course, human society is not without magical powers that can really be used, such as the red-robed mage of Searle, or the terrifying kingdom of mages-Hallua.

The former can easily pull out thousands of official mages and several times more apprentices, and there are several legendary spellcasters as their backing. Normally, the power is not much worse than that of most elf kingdoms.

As for the latter, it is even more frightening. The Halrua are descendants of refugees from Netheril, so they have a fanatical pursuit of magic. It is said that there are about 180,000 mages in the whole country. However, they are all obsessed with their own research, so they have never shown aggressiveness, otherwise all the countries in the southern part of the Faerun continent will inevitably be annexed by it.

But all of this is not as good as the elves on Yongju Island overseas. After all, after the era of Netheril and the destruction of the Imaskar Empire, only these sharp-eared guys still have the horror to destroy the world. Power, until today, when mentioning elf mages, some people still think of the magic ceremony that caused the entire continent to collapse tens of thousands of years ago.

In fact, the greater the number of spellcasters, the more powerful they are. Sometimes quality is much more important than quantity. This can be discerned in the several battles between the red-robed mage and Simbu.

The Storm Queen blocked hundreds of red-robed mages several times by herself, and made them cry, but the red-robed mage couldn't come up with any solution, and even annexed the Agoralong area. All plans were shelved.

Corey saw the contempt in the eyes of the black dragon, and shook his head helplessly: "Okay, maybe you have your reasons, but this city is full of civilians without any power, and because of your appearance, they are all panicking now , so retreat immediately, at least out of the observation range of the city wall."

"Hmph! That's impossible! The master's order is to fly to Baldur's Gate. We can't be too far away from the city." Aloxes said with his head raised proudly.

"Hey! Sorry, we're just following the order. If you have any doubts, wait until the master arrives. He's on the airship behind, and he should be there in half an hour." The brown dragon Ortagus echoed with a smirk.

Obviously, they were looking for trouble, maybe they just wanted to see how the soldiers on the city wall made a fool of themselves. After all, evil blood flows in the blood vessels of these two guys. Although they are restrained by Henry, they are full of bad thoughts.

"Okay! That's great!" No matter how stupid Corey was, he could feel the playful attitude of these two bastards at this moment, and he was trembling with anger. It is estimated that he rushed forward and taught the other party how to be a dragon.

But there is no way, there is a saying that people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Sometimes the world is so helpless. Although his teeth were itching with hatred, there was nothing he could do. He could only take a deep breath, turned around and returned to the city, and at the same time announced that the guard on the city wall had been lifted.

As soon as he returned to the office, Hawke hurried up to meet him and asked loudly, "How is it? What requests did those dragons make?"

Corey rubbed his brows and replied with a wry smile: "Don't worry, they won't attack the city. Do you remember the nickname the Amn people gave to His Majesty the King?"

"Dragon Rider?! Oh... my God! Could it be that he tamed all those giant dragons!" Hawke opened his mouth in surprise. He didn't even notice that the pipe in his hand fell to the ground.

"That's right, I recognized the two leaders. They said that in half an hour, His Majesty will return with the army in triumph." Corey nodded helplessly.

"Really! Then I have to hurry up and prepare, otherwise it will be too rude."

As he said that, Hawke immediately bent down to pick up the pipe, and hurriedly walked out of the thing. He knew that although Henry had always been disgusted with these useless things, he still had to put on a show in front of outsiders. There are many envoys from other countries and forces living in Baldur's Gate, especially the church of the noble goddess Sheenworth attaches great importance to these, so a welcoming ceremony is still necessary.

"Okay, it looks like I'm going to the barracks to prepare." Corey said to himself with a slight sigh.

Under the strong intervention of the two military and political leaders, a gorgeous guard of honor was soon organized to block the tower where the airship docked, followed by a red carpet on the ground, and hundreds of girls who were temporarily summoned carried their hands. Flower basket stood on both sides, and six dragon knights in full armor stood guard near the exit, with long spears in their hands raised high.

These most terrifying mounts on land were secretly smuggled from the Chult forest in the south by boat some time ago, and they are still in the running-in period with the knights, but it is enough to scare people out.

Such a big battle quickly attracted the attention of passers-by, and it didn't take long for countless spectators to gather, discussing in low voices whether they were welcoming the big man.

Since communication in Faerun is very backward, the main channel for most ordinary people to get news is the official announcement, and the other is the stories of merchants, travelers and bards traveling from north to south. Spread the word, except for a very few well-informed guys, the rest are still in the dark.

Just when the crowd started to feel a little commotion, three huge airships began to appear slowly, and the brown dragon Ortagus and the black dragon Oroxes, who were full of bad stomachs, also took off again, leading the dragons to follow behind towards the direction of the city Approaching.

"My god! That...that's a giant dragon!"

I don't know who yelled first, which caused tension in an instant, and the crowd of onlookers suddenly fell into a panic. If Corey hadn't called in enough guards in advance, they might not have been able to maintain order.

Although the soldiers yelled for calmness at the top of their voices, it had little effect. If it weren't for the fact that the dragons in the sky hadn't made any threatening actions so far, they might have been completely blown up.

After more than ten minutes, the huge Giant was the first to descend to the designated position, followed by the hanging door slowly opened, and a young man with silver hair and silver eyes in a long robe walked out from inside.

I saw him waving his hand at the dragons in the sky, and these terrifying creatures that terrified countless people quickly landed on the square next to the tower like cute babies, and all bowed their heads respectfully, as if they were paying respect to the supreme king. Express obedience.

shock!

The noisy crowd instantly became silent. Henry showed his strength to everyone in the city in the simplest and rudest way. Even the noble goddess Bishop who was invited to come had his mouth wide open, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
