After Becoming The Tyrant CH 143 Dragon Slaying
"God bless the queen! God bless the queen!"
The soldiers of Putton County heard the Kriyan archers shouting proudly beside them, and finally realized who the black-haired female knight standing in the smoke and flames was.
That's Eleanor! Queen Eleanor of Kriya! The first queen to establish a state in the history of Legrand! The queen chosen by the Kriyans themselves!
When she was wearing armor and skylight, carrying a long knife and riding a horse from the horizon, the protagonist of this war changed in an instant. The moment she raised the sword, her people cheered for her and shouted for her. For a moment, the Putton County soldiers guarding the city understood where the loyalty of these cold and arrogant Kriyan archers came from.
The dust billowed, the red flames lingered, and the black-haired queen arrived on the battlefield.
"Kill!"
With a flick of the blade, she ordered loudly.
The soldiers standing on the city wall felt the thick city wall vibrate in an instant, and the skeleton army that was standing quietly behind the queen launched an attack in an instant.
The wind blew across the ferocious heavy armor, bringing up long howls, like horns, and also like songs. There seemed to be ten thousand legions drawing their swords and cutting their spears in the air, the voices of heroic souls roaring loudly in the ears. Under each heavy armor helmet, the eyes of the skeletons danced with bright fire, so bright that it seemed to be enough to burn an entire era.
Thousands of years ago, the alchemists threw themselves into the fire and turned into the swords of mortals. They entrusted themselves to the dragon slayers, to sleep forever in the eternal night for mortals, just to wake up today, and to continue to step on the battlefield between the mortals and gods.
They waited for a thousand years!
The heavy armor made them gallop like ancient ferocious beasts. With a series of crisp sounds, the armor on the alchemist cavalry deformed and reorganized, and one after another the complex and exquisite alchemical formations were continuously activated. The moment they charged out, the mercenaries cried and retreated with all their strength. No one dared to stand in front of such an iron-clad monster! Those who ran slowly were trampled by iron hooves, and turned into bloody mud on the ground in an instant, and one could no longer distinguish their original appearance.
The alchemist cavalry split into two crescent moon formations, and surrounded the black dragon in an instant.
A pair of giant spear-like lances were thrown in the air by half of the knights.
The sound of scales breaking, the sound of sharp tools piercing through flesh and blood, and the sound of blood splattering.
The black dragon flapped its wings and wanted to fly up from the ground, but before it flew into the air, the lance thrown by the alchemist cavalry penetrated its dragon wings and body. The moment those lances were nailed into the dragon's body, they split and reorganized, turning into iron eagle-like claws, biting deeply on the black dragon's hard bones. The body of the lance also separated section by section and in an instant, the giant spears turned into long iron chains.
The iron chains criss-crossed, weaving into a net that locked the black dragon in place.
The ear-piercing roar of the black dragon made everyone's eardrums buzz. Some soldiers on the city wall even felt their world spinning amidst its roar, and that they would never hear another sound of this world from now on. The dragon that was injured for the first time frantically shook its wings, moved its body, and swooped forward, trying to break the iron chains imposed on it.
The right arm of the alchemist knightS who threw the lances was tightly wrapped with an iron chain. They were like the best anglers in the world. They did not compete on strength with the black dragon at the beginning, but ran forward with the black dragon for a certain distance. They first left the narrow area in front of the city gate, and came to the more open battlefield on the right. When the black dragon flapped its wings and tried to fly into the air with the iron chains, the knights took off the heavy shields carried on their backs with their left hands, and thrust them down on the ground, like one nail after another fixed on the ground.
The iron chain also shrank at this moment! Then tensed!
With a dull but enormous bang, the moment the black dragon just left the ground, it was torn from the sky and fell heavily back to the ground.
Its wings flapped on the ground, and the gravel and corpses were swept up by the strong wind, like a sudden sandstorm. In the vortex of yellow sand and strong wind, countless alchemical formations on the heavy armor of the alchemist knights lit up at the same time, standing still.
The black dragon's roar was no longer pure anger, but began to be mixed with that of intense pain.
When it flapped its wings and tried to break free, those iron claws that pierced through the dragon's scales sank deeper into the flesh, and were further riveted to the bone. The stench and scalding dragon's blood splashed out, and when it landed on the ground, it instantly turned into pools of blood.
Boom, boom, boom.
It was as if a prehistoric giant drum was sounded, shaking people's heartbeat and eardrums.
The remaining half of the alchemist knights who hadn't made a move just now broke out from the encirclement, holding ferocious sabers in their hands.
Now, this saber would be used to——
Slay the dragon!
The tip of the blades pointed obliquely at the ground, and the knights' faces were hidden behind the mask-like black iron helmet. Realizing the approaching crisis, the black dragon no longer tried to break free from the iron chain, but instead turned its long neck and began spraying flames on the surrounding knights. The sea of red fire rolled over the ground, the temperature of the air rose instantly, and the knights' figures seemed to be distorted in the heat wave.
Crack, crack, a series of sounds of a mechanism being pulled, and the bone spurs on the armor of the alchemist knights holding the saber pierced outwards.
Facing the scorching dragon flames, they charged brazenly.
………………
The dust billowed, and the dragon's roars shook the world.
Eleanor stood alone in front of the city gate with a long sword in her hand.
She only came from Bomari with those alchemist knights who had woken up from their slumber. Apart from that, there was no other soldier. At this moment, she was alone facing all the rebels outside the city wall, the flames were all over the sky, and her long black hair was flying in the wind.
"You want to rebel with just this amount of daring?"
Eleanor smiled casually, the sun fell on the blade in her hand, and the curved blade and tip shone dazzlingly bright.
She was the only one standing outside the city gate, but no one dared to rush up first. The battle between the evil dragon and the alchemist knights was taking place not far away, who would dare to stay so close to that terrifying battlefield except a lunatic? Whether it was the mercenaries of Baliner or the old subordinates of Earl Pligney, they were almost desperately fleeing to the distance.
A small group of people who remained stood behind the dragon trainer and the head of the Inquisition Bureau, but they were too frightened by Queen Eleanor's powerful aura which was that of a single person holding back thousands of horses and troops alone, and did not dare to step forward rashly.
The white-robed dragon trainer stood side by side with the head of the Inquisition Bureau. None of them cared about the soldiers behind them. The moment the powerful enemies met, everyone knew who was the real opponent.
"Queen of Kriya, Eleanor."
The head of the Inquisition Bureau sighed, he had seen this name on a secret hit list of the Holy Court, appearing side by side with William III. He even crossed it off the list himself, but now the crossed-out name came out of the shadows again.
"You didn't die."
He slowly drew out his accompanying sword, without the slightest bit of contempt.
Logically speaking, fighting a woman violated the spirit of chivalry and was ridiculed. However, the queen of Kriya, the woman who once led the people of Kriya to establish a state in blood and fire, and was crowned by the people with a crown of thorns, she was definitely not within these scopes.
She was not only a gorgeous beauty, but also a majestic ruler!
Who would dare to underestimate such a prestigious ruler?
"It is our honor to fight with you."
Ever since he stepped on Legrand, the dragon trainer who had been indifferent and proud also turned serious. He performed a knight's salute and drew his sword from behind.
Eleanor sneered, and raised the curved blade in her hand high.
"Where are Kriya's warriors?"
The drawbridge of the city gate behind the black-haired queen crashed down, and the Kriyan archers in gray robes galloped out from behind the city gate. The war horses passed through the yellow sand and smoke, and once again stood neatly behind Eleanor.
The leader of the Kriyan archers clenched his fists and struck his heart: "The warriors of Kriya are with you!"
"We are with you!"
All the archers shouted in unison.
Tears and fighting intent flashed in their eyes. Just like before, they followed the black-haired queen to fight against the invading enemy. As long as their queen stood in front of them, even if they rushed to the battlefield of killing gods, they would not hesitate.
Kriya! Kriya! Queen Eleanor's Kriya!
"Fight!"
Eleanor galloped out.
……………………
Ordinary people were no longer able to approach this battlefield flooded by flames. The raging currents were indiscriminate, and the dragon's teeth and claws twisted with the iron chains, making sharp, maddening sounds.
But the dragon flame which could burn down a city, lost its power in front of the alchemist knights. A thousand years ago, the temperature of the flame used by the alchemists to create these armors was infinitely close to that of the original evil dragon's flames, but the black dragon that attacked Putton City today was just its descendant!
In the flames, the armor of the alchemist knights was plated with a layer of dark red, but they didn't feel it.
Now they don't feel pain or fear.
A thousand years ago, alchemists walked into the alchemy furnace as flesh and blood. They had already endured the most terrible pain and the hottest flame in the world thousands of years ago. They abruptly turned themselves from living beings into swords.
From now on, no flame could burn them.
The sabers slashed, drawing a long arc in the air, and the cold light on the tip of the blade was dazzling. The black dragon's hard scales were as fragile as thin paper in front of them, and the alchemical formation flashed on the blade, finally cutting into the dragon's flesh and bones with a sharp wind-like sound.
Fountains of pitch-black blood splashed high, and the black dragon screeched in spite and despair.
One after another, huge sabers were pierced downwards, nailing the black dragon's long neck to the ground.
It was like the shackles on the necks of criminals who were sentenced to beheading!
The evil dragon that regarded human beings as ants and food was reduced to a prisoner to be executed today.
The knights gripped the handle of their sabers with both hands, and pressed down hard to prevent the black dragon from counterattacking with all its strength and knocking the saber away. The knights who had been tightly pulling the iron chains before, wrapped the iron chains around the giant shields inserted in the ground, and fastened it with the bone spurs on the shield.
Immediately afterwards, they stretched out their hands and took off the heavy black bows on their backs.
It was unknown what the bowstring was made of, and it actually seemed to take some time to pull it taut even with the strength of the alchemist knights who could twist iron chains to restrain a black dragon. And as the long arrows with white bone arrowheads were pulled back, there seemed to be a faint majestic hum in the air.
The black dragon seemed to sense the approach of death.
It flapped its wings vigorously, and abruptly pulled out the iron chains and the giant shields inserted into the ground. The dragon wings were folded to protect its head.
At the moment when the iron chains pulled the shields into the air, the bone arrows shot through the air.
