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

Chapter 8
"Sir!!"

The sudden turn of the situation caused the other knights to scream at the same time.

But they actually had no time to care about the safety of the commander. The red dragon swung its long tail and put Zhenna on its back, and immediately rushed towards the paladin in front.

"Kill it!!"

The paladin who had been targeted had a blank mind and could only rely on roaring to maintain his momentum, but the obviously dimmed holy shield still revealed the uneasiness deep in his heart.

The shadow covered him, and the huge body of the red dragon pressed down.

The holy shield made of light shattered under the impact, and the red dragon's claws knocked down the huge shield, crushing the completely powerless paladin underneath.

Accompanied by the sound of flesh and blood cracking, the blood squeezed out of the flesh splashed out from under the shield.

The paladin didn't even have time to let out a decent scream, and was trampled to death by the dragon like a frog.

The ballista knight who was in the same group as this paladin gasped, the "shield" covering her was gone, and she was the closest one to die next.

In desperation, she aimed the loaded ballista at the red dragon with the thought of dying and breaking the net, hoping to cause some damage to the red dragon and win opportunities for her companions.

However, at this time Zhenna suddenly fell from the sky, grabbed the big sword and slashed the ballista on her shoulder!

When Li Yuan slapped the paladin to death with one palm, she carried the long sword along the red dragon's neck and rushed to the top of the red dragon's head.

The ballista and its bolts were cut off on the spot. Although the arrows of the ballista were strong enough to penetrate the dragon scales, the shaft of the ballista and the transmission part of the ballista were not so strong.

The ballista knight was cut down to the ground under the impact of the slash. Without the protection of the shoulder armor, this slash was enough to break her in two.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!?"

Seeing that Her Royal Highness Princess who should have died reappeared in front of him, holding a big sword and staring at him, the remaining fighting spirit of this knight also collapsed.

She sat on the ground and moved back desperately to distance herself from Zhenna:

"Your Highness, I, I am only following orders! I have no choice at all!"

Zhenna hesitated for a moment, she wanted to know who ordered her to be killed.

Regardless of Heinrich, these knights may not be able to resist orders.

At this time, flames spewed from above her head, directly igniting the ballista knight.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

The knight let out an incomparably shrill scream in the flames, but only rolled a few times before becoming silent. The temperature of the red dragon's breath was comparable to lava, so it wouldn't cause her pain for too long.

"It's either they die, or we die!" Li Yuan yelled at Zhen Na who turned around in surprise, "Don't be soft, don't let anyone go!!"

At the same time, he turned his head to avoid the crossbow arrows shot by two other knights in the distance.

Rationality told him that he must never let any enemy go back alive. Maybe some of the knights had some difficulties, but why didn't he and Zhenna just want to survive?
The instinct of the red dragon's body affected him to some extent, and the compassionate and emotional part that might have made him hesitate was filled by the killing nature of the red dragon.

The part of him that belongs to the dragon in his heart is constantly clamoring to kill all the intruders who are staring at his life. Now he only has a cold killing intent towards the enemy.

He turned around and rushed towards the remaining knights, smashed the holy shield of one of the paladins, used the horn on his head to fly the opponent with the shield, and then bit the paladin who fell from the sky.

The dragon tooth easily penetrated the knight's armor and body, and the knight bitten by him died on the spot.

Seeing this scene, Zhenna clenched the sword in her hand.

The red dragon was right, she shouldn't be merciful.

Neither the person who instigated the assassination plan nor the knight who carried out the assassination had ever been soft on her. If she hesitated because of compassion, she would really die.

Perhaps this is the biggest gap between her and the mastermind of this assassination...

The red dragon slaughtered the remaining knights with ease, and it seemed that she didn't need any more shots at all.

At this moment, she saw Heinrich, who was smashed to the ground, move.

Heinrich recovered from his brief coma, and immediately healed his dying body with holy light.

The screams of his subordinates were endless, he gritted his teeth, and got up from the ground enduring the severe pain.

You must find a chance to fight back or escape, or you will be wiped out...

The steam armor still has power, but the transmission of the armor has been damaged.

He could barely support himself with the battle axe, and he didn't let go of his weapon from the beginning to the end.

When he got up, a figure stood in front of him.

"Heinrich!" The other party called out his name.

"Princess...Your Highness?" Heinrich raised his face and responded while panting, "You actually got mixed up with that red dragon?"

He already understood what was going on, and he didn't know what went wrong. Not only did the red dragon fail to kill the princess, but he even conspired with the princess, pretending to be fighting to bring them in, and then joined forces to fight back.

Her Royal Highness, who was pretending to be dead, made a sudden move, and summoning the Holy Shield to block the fatal blow for the red dragon became the key to turning the tide of battle.

But Heinrich couldn't figure out how the princess could persuade an arrogant and violent red dragon.

"It's better than being with you traitors." Zhenna stared at Heinrich and replied coldly.

The other party used to be her mentor, and she has also served as her staff officer after she became a paladin. For Zhenna, Heinrich has always been the most trustworthy elder and right-hand man.

Heinrich had nothing to say about that.

"Did the imperial sister instruct you to do this?" Zhenna pointed her sword at Heinrich and asked.

"Your Highness already has the answer in his heart, is there any need to ask?" Heinrich smiled wryly and picked up his battle axe.

With a loud shout, he rushed towards Zhenna brandishing his battle axe.

In the corner of the hall, the red dragon was slaughtering the last group of his subordinates. It was hopeless to complete the task. His only choice now was to break out of the encirclement by himself.

Zhenna took up the sword without hesitation, but was quickly overwhelmed by the experienced Heinrich.

Heinrich's offensive was like a storm, and he had to use all his strength to kill his way out.

"Hmm!" Zhenna frowned after withstood several heavy attacks, and the pain on her back reminded her that her wound had opened again.

But after several rounds, the one who couldn't hold on first was Heinrich.

After being hit by the red dragon with all his strength, his injuries were so severe that he could not be healed by the holy light technique at all, it was the end of his strength.

With broken ribs, dragging the steam armor that can no longer be driven, and wielding such a heavy battle ax, it won't last long at all.

Realizing that the opponent's movements had become slow, Zhenna seized the opportunity and stepped into the opponent's attack range at the risk of being cut off by the battle axe. She lowered her body to avoid the horizontally swinging battle ax by a small margin, and successfully walked around to the opponent's side.

"Drink!"

She took advantage of the situation and swung the big sword upwards with all her strength, slashing at the opponent's wrist. The strength of the steam armor was astonishing, but the joints were still weak points.

This slash did not break the armor, but the blunt blow passed in was enough to break the wrist!

Heinrich snorted, and dropped the weapon.

At the same time, Li Yuan killed the last knight and threw his body near the two with a flick of his head.

Seeing this, the last trace of fighting spirit in Heinrich's eyes disappeared.
