Chapter 1434 Li Xini Bloodstone

The black dragon flew over the mining area, and the area where Joan was located was invaded by the dragon's power. The only one who didn't feel the slightest fear from the beginning to the end was Audrey.

Miss Paladin has the protection of "God's Grace", and is immune to all magic or supernatural fear effects, including the ferocious aura emanating from the dragon.

"Praise my Lord Pelor! Give us the courage to overcome fear!"

Her Royal Highness's handsome face was extremely solemn, and the moment she chanted the prayer, a golden halo spread under her feet, enveloping all the companions around her.

Under the shelter of the "Aura of Courage", everyone, including Joan, felt more courageous, felt more at ease, and relaxed their nervousness.

Gray Bird touched Bell's neck to calm down the agitated dark tone-deaf monster, and loudly scolded the panicked stone-blind barbarian mercenaries around him, ordering them to keep calm and return to their respective positions to guard against enemy attacks.

"The black dragon that flew over just now is Li Xini Bloodstone?" Joan asked Gray Bird.

The blind lady nodded, and said angrily and helplessly: "It's that evil dragon that often shows off its power over our mining area. Every time it flies over, it will always cause a commotion. But don't worry, Li Xini ·The blood stone is just arrogant, but not stupid, let alone so stupid that it lands on our side alone to show off, it usually just demonstrates in the air for a while, and then flies back to the Feizhen mining area."

Gray Bird's comfort could not satisfy Joan.

"The evil dragon often hovers above our heads. It seems that it is not just a demonstration, but the main purpose is to detect the movement on our position. If he finds a loophole in our defense, there will probably be a large group of snakemen to attack later."

Gray Bird didn't refute, because what Joan said was true.

"Since this is the case, we can't just sit and watch the evil dragon flaunting above our heads, we have to find a way to get rid of this threat hanging above our heads!" Hailaer said angrily.

"Ms. Gray Bird, do you have any crossbowmen who are good at sniping? Gunners are better. Put all the people who are proficient in archery behind the bunkers, and bless spells such as 'peace of mind' or 'heroic spirit' in advance to resist dragon power , when the evil dragon Li Xini passed by at low altitude, he suddenly rushed out of the bunker and shot at him collectively. Even if he couldn't shoot down the evil dragon, at least he could suffer a little bit, so that he wouldn't dare to fly over our heads unscrupulously in the future Fly away." Holden suggested.

Gray Bird spread his hands, with a helpless face: "We have tried this method, but Li Xini is more vigilant than we expected, with 2 rings of 'Anti-Arrow Barrier' on his body, plus a thick dragon The scale protection, crossbow arrows and bullets can't break through the double protection of the enchantment and dragon scales, causing effective damage to him."

"Not only did the ambush fail to achieve the effect we expected, but it also greatly angered Li Xini. The dragon turned around and swooped down, spraying acid at the shooter team participating in the ambush, causing great damage to us. Since then , we would rather endure this evil dragon bragging above our heads than provoke him easily."

"If the mercenaries in the mining area didn't shoot Li Xini, wouldn't that evil dragon spit acid dragon breath on the ground?" Audrey asked in surprise.

Gray Bird nodded, and said in a deep voice: "At least from the current point of view, maybe Li Xini doesn't want to completely tear our skins off with us. After all, the two major colonies in the north and the south have not really started a war. The conflicts that have occurred so far can only be It is a small-scale friction, as long as there is a possibility of peaceful mediation of disputes, as mercenaries, it is not easy for us to start a full-scale war against the wishes of our employers."

What she said was rather reserved, but everyone could hear that the interests of mercenaries and employers were not always completely aligned.

Of course, the employer hoped that the mercenaries hired by him would do their duty and would not hesitate to shed the last drop of blood for the employer.

But as far as mercenaries are concerned, it's just a business. How much money they spend is enough to be worthy of their employer. The priority is to protect themselves, otherwise the little commission earned is not enough to pay pensions. The mercenary group can't sustain it at all.

Although the Snakeman Mercenary Group and the Stone-Blind Barbarian Mercenary Group have different positions and have deep grievances, from the perspective of practical interests, both sides tend to maintain the current low-intensity conflict.

It's the best way for the two parties to fight and stop, earn money decently, and have an explanation in front of the employer, so as not to damage the vitality.

Of course, this can't be blamed on Gray Bird and the others for being too selfish and unprofessional.

As Gray Bird said just now, the employer has not yet made up his mind to go to war in an all-out way, so what reason do the mercenaries have to charge forward?

If they really tried too hard to kill the enemy, it might disrupt the peaceful negotiations between the employers of both parties, and instead damage the overall situation.

The real test of whether the mercenary is doing their duty is after the employer officially declares war. Based on her understanding of Gray Bird, Joan believes that her and her clan's performance on the battlefield will never disappoint the employer.

Holden looked up at the arrogant figure of the dragon, stroked his chin and muttered: "Ordinary shooting weapons are difficult to injure a dragon protected by magic barriers, but Joan and I both have enchanted pistols, and my sister's 'dragon' Riding a spear is even more powerful, if the three of us join forces to fight that evil dragon, we may not be able to defeat it!"

"The key issue is not whether you can shoot down the dragon, but the consequences." Audrey warned her younger brother, "If this incident turns into a trigger for a full-scale conflict between the two colonies in the north and the south, I don't know how many people will be killed." To shed blood and die for this is not what we want."

"Well, I understand. Until the last moment, we will never give up the hope of peacefully resolving disputes, even if we have to swallow our anger." Holden said with a wry smile.

Audrey heard the sarcasm in his brother's words, frowned, and said to him patiently: "I know this is aggrieved, but we must not bear the crime of instigating war and destroying peace."

Holden twitched his mouth disapprovingly, and turned to chat with Quintilian.

Joan felt that the positions of the Zion siblings could not simply assert which was right and which was wrong. Holden's thinking might not be mature enough, and Audrey did have her reasons for taking the overall situation into consideration, but blindly forbearing may not necessarily bring peace. Maybe it will lead to the humiliation of the enemy's aggressiveness.

The atmosphere that enveloped the mining area was a bit depressing. Qiao An breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the black dragon figure that was fading away, and quietly activated the "Advanced Internal Vision Technique" to check the details of Li Xini Bloodstone.
