Chapter 624 Rescue Plan

A reconnaissance team led by Sonia spotted a dragon being besieged by a cluster of giants near the edge of the war zone.

To be honest, Gawain was stunned when he first heard the news.

Because his first reaction was whether that Miss My little pony fell from the sky again - after all, that blue dragon had a precedent in this regard, and his flying skills were not very reliable.

But he soon ruled out this speculation, because the report pointed out that the dragon was black, Gawain analyzed it rationally, and felt that it should not be the result of Melita being blackened by arcane lightning...

But no matter what, he still dispatched support troops as soon as possible to meet the opponent at the breakout point marked by Sonia. At the same time, he immediately set off and came to an advance position on the front line of the theater where a large number of troops were gathering. Prepare to use this as a stepping stone to launch further actions in the Red Maple area.

...

It was not until she saw several peculiarly shaped steel chariots and a large number of fully-armed human soldiers appearing in front that Maggie finally determined that she had survived.

That's Cecil's army - an army that can go all the way from the edge of the polluted zone to the hinterland.

Steel chariot engines roared, magic-guided cannons screeched harshly, orbital-accelerated obelisk-shaped warheads fell into enemy lines, and explosions ended those sad and twisted lives, and soldiers in metal armor Carrying a heavy combat backpack, holding a flamethrower and marching with the chariot, the flames are billowing and everything is burning.

The breath of iron and fire permeated the battlefield, and this kind of civilized power more savage than savage completely shocked Maggie's heart.

The deafening explosion sounded in all directions, and the ground trembled slightly under the explosion. Maggie struggled to shake off a giant cluster of crystals who was trying to grab her tail, and then watched the monster in the air being hit by more than a dozen waves. The beam was cut into pieces, and the deadly magic effect was like cheap bolts and bolts that splashed everywhere, strafing all standing targets that were not friendly forces. Under the continuous earthquake, Maggie couldn't help shrinking her neck. , felt an inexplicable trembling-

What kind of power did the founding duke who came back from the dead built in his kingdom?

She followed the safe route sheltered by the artillery fire. The strong dragon claws ran on the ground in a rather embarrassed manner. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw a steel holy emblem hanging on the surface of the carriage. The surface of the carriage was stamped with many prayers and words The large vehicle with the sacred symbol rushed up the ramp, and the weapons on the roof were frequently fired, strafing the battlefield with fiery white light, and then the metal door on the side of the chariot opened, and several brave warriors wearing thick white armor and unusually tall came from inside. rushed out,

They held heavy warhammers, their helmets and shoulder armors were covered with scriptures, and the scripture cloths on their chests swayed in the wind. They rushed into the battlefield and smashed the nearest cluster giant with their warhammers, shouting loudly: "Execute Purification of the Holy Light!"

Afterwards, these berserkers picked up some kind of incendiary device hanging behind them and started shooting around.

In the end, the battlefield returned to peace.

The griffin knight and the giant eagle hovered high in the sky and continued to be vigilant about the surrounding situation. A soldier who looked like a commander brought several soldiers to Maggie. The commander looked at the sight in front of him with curiosity and caution. Heilong glanced at it and asked aloud: "How is the situation? Can you understand human language?"

Maggie endured the throbbing pain of the wound, and a deep, almost growling voice came out of her throat: "Yes."

"Okay—" The officer nodded, then noticed Maggie's bleeding wounds, and immediately turned around and waved, "We need a priest here—she's badly injured!"

Despite Maggie's low voice in dragon form, the officer could hear the feminine in her voice.

Maggie wanted to say that her injury was not in the way, and that the dragon's physique could resist until she reached the evacuation point, but she quickly forgot to speak in astonishment, because she saw those who were braver than the Berserkers. The heavily armored warrior walked towards him, and the leader took off a metal-cased prayer book from his waist, as if he was about to release Holy Light...

So...these are Cecil's priests?

At this moment, Maggie suddenly understood why the original Holy Light Church in the southern border was kicked out...

...

The rescue operation went very smoothly. Shortly after Gawain arrived at the advancing stronghold, the news of the success of the mission was sent to him.

In the mission briefing, the commander praised the role of the White Knight squad on the battlefield - they valiantly eliminated the enemy, and also provided effective treatment to the aid target, despite only one squad, but played a large team The role that no soldier can replace is quite commendable.

This made Gawain quite relieved, and he strengthened his opinion: Pastor, he really is good at saving lives and helping wounds...

Before the evening of this day, the black dragon, whose origin is unknown, but seems to be related to the Duke of the North, arrived at the advancing stronghold.

Thanks to effective treatment, she walked into the camp on her own.

Gawain specially vacated a large area in the camp to accommodate the visitor, because he remembered that the Dragon Race was a behemoth with a length of several tens of meters (Merita Purnia data), but wait until then. When the head black dragon appeared in the camp, Gawain realized that the situation was not what he expected.

It was an extraordinarily thin dragon, with a wingspan of maybe a dozen meters, and its body size was only one-third to one-half the size of an adult giant dragon, and its wings were particularly twisted and short, as if they were not fully developed.

Although Gawain had only seen Melita Purnia's dragon form from a distance before, and he could only visually measure the length of an adult dragon, he was sure that the standard adult dragon was definitely bigger than the black dragon in front of him. much bigger.

Is this a baby dragon?

With such doubts, he has calmly met the black dragon who was walking into the center of the camp. The latter paid little attention to the strange prefabricated barracks and rotating magic monitoring devices around him, nor did he pay any attention to the soldiers and officers nearby. Stopping to look, she came to Gawain, and that face that was so different from humans... showed a clearly discernible anxiety.

Before she could reach the front, she said quickly: "Dear Duke, Boulder City needs your support! Victoria, she..."

"Don't worry, I have received the news that the main force has begun to move north," Gawain interrupted the black dragon, he noticed that his words obviously calmed the dragon's breathing, which made him particularly curious, "You Who is it? What's your relationship with Victoria Wilder?"

Heilong was silent for a while, and then clearly said something that surprised Gao Wen: "I'm Maggie, you've seen it before."

"Maggie?" Gawain was stunned, and after a few seconds, he finally searched for the pronunciation from his memory, and remembered that it seemed to be the name of the black-haired maid next to Victoria - a very distinctive, no Like Ansu style names.

"I see... a giant dragon..." Gawain laughed and nodded slightly, "Did the Wilder family actually establish contact with you..."

"I am loyal to Victoria by my own will," Hei Long said immediately, and was a little curious, "You... don't seem surprised when you face the dragon clan?"

"I've dealt with dragons," Gawain said casually, and then asked along the way, "but the dragons I've seen don't seem to be the same as you. I'm taking the liberty to ask, if you feel offended or offended, you don't have to answer—you , is it a young dragon?"

He remembered that the black-haired maid's human form was very mature, so he was very curious about her dragon form, and this was a good opportunity to understand the dragon family. Turn your face on yourself.

He noticed that Maggie hesitated for a while in front of this question. There might be nervousness and annoyance hidden in the hesitation. It seemed that this simple question had touched the area that she was unwilling to answer, but she still spoke, in a tone of voice. A little hesitant: "This is... a disease..."

"Okay, I understand," Gawain vaguely guessed what was going on, and interrupted immediately, "Sorry, ma'am, it was my question that offended me."

Then he looked at Maggie's current form and changed the subject: "Ma'am, can you change into a human form? Maybe we can communicate more easily this way."

Heilong lowered his neck slightly: "Yes - please back away a little."

Several commanders, including Gawain, and Amber who ran out to watch the fun immediately retreated, while the black dragon in the center of the clearing moved his wings and tail, accompanied by a powerful burst of force. With the fluctuation of magic power and the sudden cyclone, the whole body of the black dragon was shrouded in a layer of light curtain that was constantly wriggling——

Looking at the continuous shrinking and changing of the light curtain, Gawain couldn't help but say a sentence: Most of the transformation spells in the world originated from the dragon family...

Maggie, with black hair and black eyes, wearing a maid's dress and two long swords hanging from her waist, stepped out of the light curtain.

In the crowd, Amber couldn't help but muttered to Philip: "Actually, I have always wondered, where are the clothes and belongings on their bodies after the transformation of this kind of polymorphism..."

The young and straightforward knight was obviously not very able to adapt to the rhythm of this intelligence chief, and was stunned for a moment: "...Why is your thinking so strange?"

"Thank you very much for your assistance," Maggie in human form came to Gawain and bowed deeply, but then she couldn't help but ask, "When will your army..."

"The main force of my legion can reach the war zone in the evening, and we can launch an attack overnight, but before that, we must work out an effective attack plan," Gawain interrupted the humanoid dragon, and raised his hand to point at The barracks that served as the headquarters in the distance, "Please come with me, I want to know the situation in the north first."

Maggie followed Gawain and several Cecil officers into the headquarters, where the first thing she saw was an extremely delicate and detailed map hanging on the wooden wall of the barracks.

On the exquisite map, she saw the giant wooden crossing marked with many tactical symbols, the criss-crossed arrows, the lines showing the division of the enemy's position and the war zone, and one after another that even she could not understand. Numbers and shorthand markers.

Despite being a maid in name, Maggie instantly realized what the map meant: it meant Cecil's control of the battlefield, a way of warfare that no one had ever achieved before!

She even wanted to turn her head for the first time, because there was too much information on the map, to the extent that it could influence the situation of the war, but she soon realized that Gawain was taking her to see this place. of a map.

Gawain said from the side: "Mark, where is Victoria, where is the enemy, what is their size, and what is the main line of defense—if you know."

Maggie nodded, stepped forward, and pointed to the location of Boulder City: "Victoria and the Mountain Corps are trapped in the castle area...

"The enemy has completely surrounded Boulder City, and there are no gaps on the ground. The number... conservatively estimated at more than 50,000, and this number can be increased at any time, because they have a steady stream of troops that can be mobilized. As long as the attack is frustrated, they will definitely increase their troops...

"This is Red Maple City, on the east bank of the Gorgon River, is the base camp of those monsters...

"When I passed through the sky, I saw that those monsters were splitting up a part of their troops and moving south..."

Gawain listened carefully to Maggie's information one by one, constantly summarizing them and considering them, while beside him, Philip and several staff members were also quickly discussing in a low voice, deducing possible offensive routes.

"How long do you think Victoria can last?" Gawain asked suddenly.

Maggie said in a heavy tone: "They originally relied on the strength of the blizzard barrier, and they were able to hold on for three days. Later, Victoria took the initiative to withdraw from the blizzard and chose to face the enemy head-on. Relying on the city walls of the castle district and the fighting of the soldiers, they may only be able to Two days... No, that's the Mountain Corps, they must have one more day! Even if there is no blizzard, they can last three days!"

Gao Wen sighed slightly in his heart.

Rather than living for three days behind a safe barrier, did the soldiers in the northern border choose to die generously after fighting for three days...

"I've been on the road for a day..." Maggie went on to add.

On the other hand, Philip and the staff had already discussed something, and a staff member came to Gawain and whispered a few words.

Gawain raised his head and looked at Maggie: "Ma'am, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Boulder City within two days."

The black-haired maid's eyes widened instantly, but before she showed a desperate look, Gawain had already continued:

"But we only need one day to get to Red Maple - and blow it up."
