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

Chapter 6 Dragon Slaying Knight

Outside the tower, among the knights in ambush, some could no longer hold back.

"Sir, it's been a long time, and there is no movement at all, will it be..."

A knight lowered his voice to speak to Heinrich, the commander of this mission and the deputy commander.

He wondered if their target didn't hide in this tower at all.

"In such a short period of time, how can she trick Lu Xinglong's nose? Wait patiently!"

Heinrich is much calmer than others.

He used to be the instructor of the princess, and he was confident that he understood Princess Zhenna's combat style very well.

They didn't give Princess Zhenna time to calmly deal with it. Seeing such a ruin, Princess Zhenna must think that this is a place where they can fight back and ambush them, but they don't know that this is the tomb they chose for Her Royal Highness.

After another difficult 2 minutes, they finally got what they wanted.

The angry roar of the dragon surged out from the door opening of the tower, making all the knights present tremble subconsciously.

The horses were frightened immediately, stomped restlessly, and began to turn around one after another. The knights had to pull on the reins desperately while calming their own rides.

Even the Lu Xinglong that Heinrich was riding tensed up vigilantly, and let out an uneasy growl in the direction of the tower.

The giant dragon is the creature at the top of the food chain in the wild, and the roar of the giant dragon has an immediate deterrent effect on other creatures.

Even these knights who had participated in dragon slaying and hunting before would still feel frightened when they heard the dragon's roar again.

The flames flickered in the deep doorway, followed by another dragon's roar, and the fierce sound of smashing came from the tower.

"It's started, get ready for the assault!" Heinrich ordered in a deep voice.

He had already imagined the scene of the death fight between the Red Dragon and Princess Zhenna in his mind, and everything was exactly as they planned.

The other knights got off their horses one after another, gathered the horses and tied them up.

There will be a dragon slaying battle next, and the horses will inevitably be frightened in front of the dragon, and they will be useless at all.

A knight approached Lu Xinglong who was riding on Heinrich, took out a syringe filled with stimulants, and skillfully stuck it on Lu Xinglong's neck.

Even Lu Xinglong, who is considered to have dragon blood and has a violent nature, can't maintain a normal combat state without the blessing of stimulants in the face of the real dragon's might.

Lu Xinglong was obviously used to it, he didn't resist at all, and even stretched his neck proactively.

As the red liquid poured into its blood vessels, Lu Xinglong's eyes became bloodshot, and his nose wheezed heavily.

The other knights also adjusted their equipment at this time. Three paladins held heavy shields, and the other three carried special mechanical ballistas on their shoulder armor, and mounted crossbow bolts thicker than throwing spears.

Everyone tensed their nerves and entered a ready-to-fight state, waiting for Heinrich's order.

The earth-shattering sound in the tower continued for a while, then gradually slowed down, and finally ended with a woman's mournful scream, and then suddenly returned to silence.

"It's now, go!!"

Heinrich made a decisive decision and picked up an exaggeratedly large mechanical battle ax and pointed it at the tower.

Lu Xinglong also roared excitedly, and rushed to the entrance of the tower immediately under his urging.

The remaining knights followed closely in pairs, a paladin with a giant shield and a heavy armored knight with a ballista.

They quickly rushed through the dark corridor, and the empty temple-like hall loomed in front of them.

The first thing that caught Heinrich's vision was the image of the red dragon holding the blood-stained Princess Zhenna in its mouth.

The moment he saw the intruder, the red dragon immediately let go of the "food" in his mouth, and flames burst out from his throat.

At the same time, the ferocious Longwei was released from him.

The red dragon's quick reaction to the enemy was beyond Heinrich's surprise. He resisted the coercion released by the adult red dragon with willpower, and when the breath of the red dragon spewed in front of him, he promptly displayed his ability as a paladin.

A shield made of holy light flashed in front of him, forcibly separating the flames that were about to devour him, only part of the hot air flowed through the holy shield, fortunately the heavy armor on both him and Lu Xinglong were fireproof.

At the same time, other knights followed and broke into the hall.

"Set up the formation!"

Heinrich yelled, and at the same time drove Lu Xinglong forward, pushed the summoned holy shield forward, and gained room for the knights behind to move.

The knights rushed to different directions in groups of two, and opened the front line.

Li Yuan also noticed the other knights, turned his head and swept the remaining flame breath towards the two groups of knights moving to his left front.

Those knights immediately settled down, and they all half-knelt down. The paladin in charge of defense put the giant shield directly in front of him, providing cover for himself and his teammates.

I saw runes appearing on their shields, emitting a dazzling holy light, and successfully blocked the red dragon's flame breath.

The level of these people's holy shield skills is far inferior to that of Heinrich. It is almost impossible for the holy shield they summon to block the breath of an adult red dragon.

Fortunately, the rune shields they hold are enough to amplify their holy light to the point where they can be used on this battlefield.

"It's worth the money, you bastards!"

After breathing out the flames, Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and cursed secretly in his heart.

Although he had already experienced it once in Helganon's memory, he still couldn't help but feel tricky when he saw the equipment carried by these people with his own eyes.

Relying on the red dragon's valuation instinct, he could see that the equipment of these knights was all expensive, the three huge shields, the arrows loaded in the ballistas, and the commander's outfit.

The era of relying on the sword and magic of legendary heroes to fight against dragons has passed. Humans in this era have learned to pile up technology and money to shorten the distance between themselves and powerful creatures. They have tried their best to arm themselves to the teeth!

Li Yuan finished spraying the flames, and chose to charge forward instead.

After a full round of breathing, the giant dragon needs about ten deep breaths to adjust before re-brewing the next time, but the dragon's teeth, claws and tail are not as dangerous as his breathing.

With his size, he could easily crush a person into a pulp just by bumping and crushing.

"Shoot!" Heinrich issued an order to counterattack the moment the red dragon's breath ended.

The knights with the ballistas on their shoulders moved slightly, revealing half of their bodies and the ballistas on their shoulders from behind the giant shield that covered them. The arrows of the ballistas shone with a silver cold light.

The moment he saw those ballistas, the harpoon guns on the whaling ship appeared in Li Yuan's mind.

There was a loud bang, and a puff of gunpowder smoke erupted from the mechanical ballista, and the arrow turned into a flash of silver light, stabbing towards the head of the red dragon.
