669. [STAGE 40] Black Dragon Subjugation (3)
Normally, it would have been midday.
However, because of the veil of darkness cast by the Night Bringer, the four quarters were as dark as night.
At least, the sun that had risen beyond the curtain scattered its light like a full moon on a cloudy night, so it was difficult to discern the surroundings.
Whoaaaaaaah-!
Even that became impossible as the darkness emanating from the Night Bringer’s body covered the entire area.
The body of the Night Bringer sank into the darkness like thick fog. All he could see now was the command staff dying from fire.
However, the troops of the world defense front are also trained elite.
The command was swept away by the Black Dragon’s first attack and died, but the fragmented chain of command beneath it was still functioning –
“Ready flares!”
The means to counter the darkness are also prepared.
“Fire flares!”
“Fire the flare-!”
Voices mingled dizzyly from all sides, followed by a series of gunshots.
pop! Pew-!
Red flares of condensed mana cut through the pitch-black night and flew through the sky.
The flares exploded into the sky, brightening up the area, but they could not clear the darkness below the valley.
The soldiers then rained flares down the valley floor.
The flares rained down around the black dragon’s huge body. A red light bouncing on the floor caught a glimpse of its endless outline, letting us know that the monster was there.
That was enough.
to target him.
“Start fire team fire-!”
“Opening fire!”
pop! Beep!
Patter…!
Cannons lined up above the valley fired fire and archers drew their bowstrings.
The monster was huge. Even if the field of view was dark and blurry, the aim of the elite troops could not be missed.
Hundreds of cannons spewed out cannonballs in succession, and archers fired arrows lavishly.
The bullets and arrows flew in a parabolic arc and hit the body of the black dragon.
Arrows fell, making a sound like pouring hailstones, and long-range shells exploded, scattering thick explosions and smoke.
In an instant, the bottom of the valley was devastated. In the thick darkness, the red light of the flare, the flash of the explosion, and the scattering sparks from the collision of arrows and scales were mixed.
From the bottom of the valley where the attacks were pouring in without rest-
[This is my last game.]
The tired voice of the Night Bringer came out in a low voice.
[You can’t even yawn.]
Tuhak-!
A sudden gust of wind arose.
All the arrows, shell explosions, and smoke that had been pouring around the black dragon’s body had disappeared – and the black dragon was still there.
In the shimmering darkness, it was difficult to see exactly what it looked like with the naked eye, but one thing was certain.
took little damage.
[I’ll clean it up.]
The next moment.
The other six heads of the black dragons, which were spinning in formation high in the dark sky, fell like meteors.
It was above the heads of fireteam soldiers firing cannons and arrows.
Each of the six heads held a flame in their mouths. The human soldiers who discovered this shouted.
“Find 6 black dragon piers in the sky!”
“Intercept! You can’t let it breathe!”
Then, the allied forces, which had been organized as an interception team, all raised their wands in unison.
I lost the command post to the surprise attack of those heads, but I had no intention of losing it a second time.
Among the wizards, those who were good at offensive magic shot the prepared magic and intercepted the head, and those who were good at defensive magic resonated with each other and formed a magic shield.
Beep!
The pouring attack magic of various attributes hit the black dragon’s auxiliary heads and
churlurreuk!
The defense shield built by the magicians gathered their strength and unfolded.
Even the magic defense artifacts and barrier artifacts that the fireteam had prepared worked. Looking at the layered defenses, the soldiers were relieved.
“Okay, I blocked it this time…”
But
damn!
The heads of the black dragons protruded casually from the dazzling mana light shimmering with overlapping attack magic. This interception didn’t work properly.
The heads fell on top of the shield with their mouths wide open –
Kwajik! Kwajijik!
It literally chewed up the shield prepared by humans.
It ripped open the human side’s defenses and chewed and swallowed it with its gigantic mouth full of large, pointed teeth.
The gunners and archers were frozen, staring blankly at the shield being swallowed up right above their heads.
Soon, right after the last layer of defense was torn away-
“Shoot, shoot! Shoot down the head…!”
The field commander, who shouted that and raised his bow, was crushed between the jaws of a flying head as if he had been waiting for it.
Pucak-!
Torn bodies and blood were splattered in all directions.
The soldiers screamed and ran away, or raised their trembling hands and tried to drive one more arrow into the evil dragon’s head, but-
Quaaaaaaa!
Neither side was meaningless in the face of the fire from the rest of the heads.
Gunners and archers engulfed in flames burned to death with desperate screams.
The gunpowder that had been ignited in succession exploded, and cannons and shells were engulfed in a terrible column of fire.
The six heads that calmly escaped from that inferno flew leisurely, their golden dragon eyes shining in search of the next prey.
Eventually, six heads were found.
The existence of the king’s magician troops looking up at them with pale complexions.
A long tongue smacked his lips, and six heads soared high into the air. The mages prepared a new magic while spewing out shouts of anger and fear.
Meanwhile.
“charge-!”
“Charge-!”
Aaaaaaaaa!
At the same time as the firepower projection of the firepower faded, infantry and cavalry began to run towards the main body of the black dragon.
The Allied and Imperial forces poured in from the left and right with the valley in between.
In particular, the armed status of the front line of the Imperial Army was unusual.
The knights riding the horses at the forefront all wore armor made from scales collected from the Black Dragon Corps, and were equipped with dragon slayers, weapons processed from the bones and claws of the Black Dragon Corps.
Knights who symbolize the strength of the Everblack Empire, the conqueror of the continent. medium-term knights.
Those galloping on huge horses were truly the chariots that the empire was proud of.
It was good to say that there was no existence that could stop them in the war with humans in a head-to-head match on the ground.
In addition, ahead of the battle with the black dragon, he collected materials up to the floor and applied them to them.
I’m sure I’ll be able to give that hateful monster a shot…!
Also, at the same time,
Kiyi Ying!
The approaching airships descended all at once.
Six of the sixteen non-airships diverted to face the black dragon’s auxiliary head, and the remaining ten honestly descended straight toward the black dragon’s main body.
Humanity’s final weapons, which have raised the barrier to the limit, will support the subjugation of the Black Dragon from the sky.
As soon as the airship stood firmly behind their heads above their heads, the assault team’s hearts were also strengthened.
“let’s go-!”
Doo doo doo doo-!
The knights shouted in unison with the sound of horses hooves kicking heavily on the ground.
“For Everblack!”
“For the glory and honor of the Empire, for His Majesty the Emperor!”
“For humanity-!”
next moment.
oh oh oh…!
The air shuddered, and the black dragon crouched down in the valley… lazily raised its head in the middle.
Then, he took a light breath, inflated his chest, and then
let out a breath the next moment.
Tuhak-!
The breath cuts through the sky, and
it’s Kwa-gwa-gwa-gwang!
An explosion erupted in the sky.
The leading airship that had been pierced by the breath exploded in the air in one blow.
The barrier that could not last for a few seconds melted, and the mana core exposed to the breath exploded in a chain.
During the battle with the Lord of the Flies, even if the flying ship was shot down to the ground, there was no such thing as being blown to pieces in the air.
The black dragon so easily detonated mankind’s decisive battle weapon. The wreckage of the broken
airship
fell like rain over the heads of the cavalry and foot soldiers running towards the black dragon. Being hit by the shrapnel, the soldiers gnashed their teeth.
“Not yet…!”
“Run, run!”
“The monster is now close by! little bit more!”
Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Other airships also did not slow down.
There was no better period than now when the black dragon’s auxiliary heads were separated from the main body. It was only now to attack.
Flash!
This time, the black dragon’s eyes lit up and a barrage of magic rained down on the airship.
An ancient magic that was so old that I couldn’t even figure out what it was, hit the hull, and two airships with barriers cut to pieces exploded in the air.
However, the rest of the non-empty ships were able to approach it.
The non-airships now completely lowered their barriers and deployed their armaments.
Regardless of raising the barrier, I was in a situation where I was going to sink under the Black Dragon’s attack, so I decided to pour out the attack with all my might.
Too-ta-ta-ta-!
pop! pop! Beep!
The seven surviving non-combat ships circled the sky around the black dragon and showered them with magic bullets.
At the same time, the cavalry and infantry that ran down the ground also reached the black dragon.
A clear determination flashed in the eyes of the screaming and rushing humans. The leader of the Imperial Heavy Knights, who stood at the forefront, let out a roar.
“For the world…”
The next moment.
Kwajik-!
The body of the knight commander collapsed without even finishing the order.
It was hit by something huge that flew from the side, and the horse, armor, and weapon were crushed together with the body.
All of the leading knights swept along became pieces of crushed meat and rolled on the floor, splashing blood.
The knights in the back row did not immediately notice what had happened and were silent for a moment.
It didn’t take long to realize that the huge thing that hit the head of the knights was the black dragon’s tail.
Right after that, that huge tail swept over us once more.
Kwajik! Kududeuk-!
It’s just a simple tail.
However, if the thickness and length of its tail are thicker and longer than any tower in the ecliptic, its power and range are no longer simple issues.
Each Puka…!
The Black Dragon only swung its tail lightly as if shaking the ground, but the attack destroyed the head of the Heavy Knights.
Up to three rows of knights, including the knight commander, were left without a single one.
Subsequently, the black dragon moved its huge body at a leisurely pace and struck the Allied soldiers approaching from the other side with its huge front claws.
Puhak-!
It was a hand that clearly bothered me, like swinging a fly away.
The soldiers were torn to pieces just by being swept away by that range.
All the soldiers caught in the range died instantly. Helms and armor fragments that had lost their owners soared into the sky.
Intestines and limbs that belonged to a living person a moment ago were also scattered on the floor.
For a moment, fear filled the mind of the assault team.
They are literally crushed to death like ants.
Even without using Dragon Roar or Dragon Fear, the realization that he was nothing more than an insignificant creature in the presence of this overwhelmingly gigantic and mighty monster filled him with fear.
But they’re assault squads.
Running cavalry and infantry.
There are colleagues who follow right behind. As if his back was being pushed by the momentum, he had no choice but to run without stopping.
“Forward…”
cried the soldiers, tears in fear.
“from now on-!”
“Aaaaaaaaa!”
Despite the fear spreading like a plague, the soldiers finally reached the black dragon.
In the shimmering darkness, Night Bringer’s golden eyes narrowed.
And-
coo-gu-gu-gu-gung…!
Slowly he began to raise the giant.
