I'm a dragon, I only want to steal princesses

Chapter 37 You help me block the knife
Her Royal Highness, riding on the back of the dragon, made up for the dragon's flaws!

The pillar of holy fire from the Angel Ring hit Lucio, but it didn't cause any harm to the King of Knights.

In order to deal with the red dragon, he specially prepared equipment capable of resisting high temperatures. In addition to the fireproof technology of the "Dragon Slayer" steam armor itself, he also wore a layer of dragon scale armor inside instead of chain mail.

And that layer of dragon scale armor was made from the scales of the old red dragon he had killed before.

Facing the breath of a mature red dragon, such equipment can only slightly reduce the damage.

But if it's just a holy fire technique cast by a master-level paladin, it can still be easily dealt with.

However, the impact of the fire pillar still caused a little trouble for Lucio who was hanging on the hook.

Lucio, who was approaching the neck of the red dragon with the hook and propulsion device, was suddenly deflected due to the impact of the fire pillar, and the approach speed also slowed down, which gave Li Yuan time to react.

Leaning in the air, he flicked his neck so that the shackle fell from the crown of thorns.

Lucio flew out, turned over in the air to adjust his posture while retracting the hook cable, then found the flying dragon that came to meet him again, and used the hook cable to ride on the back of the flying dragon again.

"Captain! Achim—"

Another knight on the dragon's back cried out in grief.

Achim was the knight who just turned into a fireball and fell.

"Focus on fighting and avenge him."

Lucio was very calm, and he didn't look at the fallen knight from the beginning to the end, because it was meaningless.

Killing a mature red dragon was not a difficult task for him, but there were still unexpected casualties in this battle, because of the red dragon's extremely weird ability.

This is not the power a red dragon should have.

that tower...

Lucio subconsciously glanced at the distant tower.

Intuition told him that the secret might be hidden in that tower.

The disappearance of the secret agent made him realize that things were not that simple. Apart from the red dragon, there might be other things here.

What he wants to find out is not only the whereabouts of Princess Zhenna, but also any existence that may be hidden here that may be harmful to Princess Frederick.

And now the six knights below are taking advantage of the battlefield where the red dragon is dragged in the air according to the original plan, and are marching towards the tower in line.

The knight running at the front heard a strange movement.

There was also the sound of horseshoes from the opposite side, and then three cavalry appeared in the forest. The leader was riding on a land dragon, wrapped in thick "barbarian" steam armor, and holding a mechanical battle ax in his hand.

The other two cavalrymen wore the standard armor of imperial knights and carried dragon hunting ballistas on their shoulders.

"Deputy Captain Heinrich, are you still alive?" The leading knight called out the opponent's name in surprise.

That set of steam armor might not be enough to prove his identity, but that Lu Xinglong was undoubtedly Heinrich's exclusive mount.

The irascible dragons can only be successfully domesticated if they are raised from juveniles, and they will only recognize tamers who have been in contact with them from the juvenile period as their masters.

It is impossible for Lu Xinglong, who is riding on Heinrich, to easily admit that other people are the masters.

Heinrich's squad is still alive, and the marching knights made such a judgment as a matter of course.

And this error in judgment is fatal!

There were two loud bangs without warning, and the two knights beside "Heinrich" fired ballistas directly.

Immediately, two knights were pierced by crossbow arrows and flew back from their horses. One of them was nailed to a tree behind him, blood splattered everywhere.

Facing the ballista that can pierce dragon scales, the knight's armor is like paper.

At the same time, "Heinrich" did not slow down its rushing speed, driving Lu Xinglong to rush straight at the leading knight.

The knight was completely caught off guard. Although he set up his weapon in time to resist, Lu Xinglong, who flew over, bit the horse's neck first and knocked him down.

When the knight lost his balance and fell, he finally saw the "face" of "Heinrich" through the gap in the opponent's helmet.

Inside the helmet was not Heinrich at all, but a huge stone.

There is a stone man in the armor!

"Golem!" Just as he understood what was going on, the tomahawk flew over and chopped off his head.

"Meet the enemy!!"

The scene instantly turned into a three-on-three, and the remaining three knights took up their battle formation.

Stone, the steward of the Infinity Tower, drove Lu Xinglong to charge towards the remaining knights with his avatar.

"The invaders on the ground are handed over to me, my lord, may you triumph."

He chanted to the red dragon fighting in the sky, although the other party couldn't hear it.

At this time, Li Yuan, who was in the air battlefield, was speculating on the situation: "It should be easy to deal with another flying dragon."

After eliminating the two Wyverns and one knight, Lucio's available footholds in the air were reduced by nearly half.

If one more head is killed, there are only two footholds, and Lucio's trajectory in the air can be easily predicted.

A wyvern suddenly entered Li Yuan's range. It was a decoy, but Li Yuan chased it desperately and locked it, ready to shoot it down with dragon flame bullets.

At this time, another Wyvern grabbed the hook rope from below him and spun in the air, throwing Lucio upward like a hammer throw.

Lucio aimed at the red dragon's abdomen and swung his sword.

Li Yuan narrowed the distance, and breathed out a large-scale breath of sky fire at the Wyvern as the bait.

Lucio took the opportunity to slash the abdomen of the red dragon from the air, and Li Yuan opened the holy light armor covering the dragon scales in time.

Neither he nor Zhenna on the dragon's back could directly see the angle of Lucio's attack, but [Watcher] could see it clearly.

The wyvern wrapped in breath fell down, but the "God of War Strike" swung by Lucio did not land on his abdomen as Li Yuan expected.

He didn't use "God of War's Strike", he didn't even swing his sword!

He switched gears, aiming at the dragon's hind paw, and manually threw out the hook with precise technique.

feint!

Li Yuan was shocked. He realized that Lucio had actually noticed his "all-round vision", and the reason why he still insisted on attacking from around the corner was to trick him into using his power.

The hook rope was wrapped around the dragon's claws, and Lucio hung behind him like this, accelerated with the help of the propulsion device, and swung to the side of the dragon all at once.

"Oops!" When Li Yuan threw off the hook, it was too late.

The light on his body plummeted, and the duration of power reached its limit.

Lucio, who was close to the side of the dragon, swung his sword again. Li Yuan had no time to think about it and could only forcibly open the holy armor again. He couldn't bet on whether the opponent was feinting again. Given the difference in their reaction speeds, he would die if he made a wrong bet!

This time, the "God of War Strike" made a heavy blow on its right hind leg, Li Yuan also exhausted his power, and the brilliance emitted by the scales dimmed.

The ballista knight rode the wyvern and rushed over to respond quickly. Lucio hung under the wyvern's claws with a hook and quickly moved away from the red dragon.

"That ability probably won't work anymore."

Lucio keenly read the trace of panic shown by the red dragon at this moment.

This kind of defensive method that transcends the legendary realm cannot be unlimited. If it is not that the red dragon's acting skills are superb enough to deceive his fighting intuition, it is that the red dragon's life-saving holy shield can only be used three times in a row.

The next time he drew his sword, he could kill the dragon.

"What should I do?" Zhen Na asked Li Yuan worriedly, she also knew that Li Yuan could only use three absolute defenses.

After a short thought, Li Yuan decided to take a gamble.

"Next round, you block the knife for me!" Li Yuan said in a deep voice.

"What?" Zhenna was a little dumbfounded.
