Chapter 499 Battle at Sea
The sea was vast, and there was no place to hide. The magic fleet of the Harland Kingdom had just approached the sea area near the dragon's lair when it was discovered by the patrolling wyverns.
The wyverns were also intelligent magical creatures, although their IQ was only about ten years old.
A ten-year-old child already had a high level of intelligence and could distinguish between the important and the urgent.
After discovering the magic ship of the Harland Kingdom in the distance, the two wyverns split into two groups, one returned to report the news, and the other wanted to get closer to investigate and find out the detailed information of the Harland Kingdom.
Seeing the wyverns attacking, more than a dozen lion-duck cavalrymen took off to fight, and magic crossbows were also prepared on the ship.
Attacking enemies in the air, the magic crystal cannons were greatly restricted, and the most suitable weapon was the magic crossbow.
The wyverns that were investigating had just approached when they were shot by the magic crossbows that had been prepared for a long time, and fell from the air and became prisoners of the lion-duck cavalry.
The wyverns that went back to report the news passed the information to the legendary white dragon Hogreni.
Although the wyvern language has few words, the general meaning has been made very clear.
With the rise of Harland, the magic ships along the northeastern coast of the Central Continent have been expelled. In recent years, even the magic ships of the Holy Glorious Empire will not easily approach this sea area.
After hearing the information brought by the wyvern, Hogreni had already guessed the whole story.
"It must be that the Harland Kingdom sent troops to attack the dragon's nest?"
Hogreni was born in the East Continent and migrated here after she became an adult. Although her combat power is not as good as the famous Red Dragon Prince of the Orc Empire, she has also been promoted to the third level of legend and is an extremely powerful and terrifying magic creature.
After a little analysis, Hogreni has thought of the key point.
After all, she has consciously attacked humans in the East Coast Province in recent years and has forged a feud with the Harland Kingdom.
After Hogreni became an adult, she had six husbands and gave birth to more than 30 offspring. Ramos was her last husband.
Dragons are creatures that often expel their offspring when they grow up and can survive and hunt on their own.
Although Hogreni gave birth to more than 30 offspring, only four of them were promoted to legends and still in contact with her. One fell into the hands of a human strongman. Although he was promoted to legend, he broke off his relationship with his mother and became a pet of humans.
The remaining young dragons all died halfway.
Dragons are mainly maternal bloodlines. Generally speaking, after being promoted to legend, they will sign a dragon contract with their mothers.
The reason why the Red Dragon Prince of the Orc Empire is so powerful is also due to her excellent offspring. Thirteen dragons of the descendants of the Red Dragon Queen have been promoted to legends.
Fourteen powerful dragons joined forces, and even the Holy Glorious Empire had to be a little wary.
The church where the gods are sleeping may not be able to withstand it.
Although the power behind Hogreni is not as strong as the Red Dragon Queen, with her husband Ramos, there are also six legendary dragons that can be mobilized.
If these six legendary dragons continue to harass the Kingdom of Harland, Richard will also be in a dilemma and will not be able to withstand it for a long time.
It is precisely because of such a force behind him that Hogreni dares to constantly invade the Kingdom of Harland, not afraid of offending his opponents.
"Hogreni, the Kingdom of Harland is very powerful. King Richard already has the strength of a plane powerhouse, and he also has a legendary fourth-level magic item in his hand, which is very difficult to deal with. In my opinion, you might as well give up this dragon's nest and move back to the East Continent."
"Lamoos, shut your stinky mouth! I'm not like you, with a guts like a mouse. I have built a nest here for five hundred years, hunting humans and beasts. I won't give up my territory without a fight. If you want to drive me away, King Harland must pay the price of blood."
Hearing that the Kingdom of Harland sent troops to attack the dragon's nest, Hogreni ignored the opposition of Ramos, summoned his descendants through the Dragon Alliance Contract, and commanded the two-legged flying dragon to prevent the Kingdom of Harland's army from landing.
Hogreni thought very clearly that once the Kingdom of Harland's army landed, it would be difficult to expel it.
The closer Richard led his troops to the dragon's nest, the more passive Hogreni became, and he could only fight an open battle with the Harland Kingdom.
Although Hogreni had a high opinion of himself, he knew in his heart that he was no match for the Harland Kingdom in a war of attrition and positional warfare.
It would be better to organize a flying army to fight a surprise attack. If the magic ship could be sunk, the opponent could be solved once and for all at sea.
After making the decision, less than two hours later, when the magic ship of the Harland Kingdom was more than 40 kilometers away from the coastline, the legendary white dragon Hogreni appeared on the sea with his two-legged flying dragons to prevent the magic ship from landing near the coastline.
Also coming with him was Richard's defeated general Ramos.
The lair of this legendary black dragon was not far from Annis Castle. Twenty-one years ago, it was jointly driven away by the Harland Kingdom and the Jonathan family, and the dragon's nest was occupied.
At that time, Richard had not yet been promoted to a legend, and Ramos was embarrassed by just one starlight bomb.
After this battle, Ramos had a psychological shadow and did not dare to go south to entangle with the Harland people.
Ramoos is a legendary second-level black dragon, and his strength is not weaker than that of a legendary third-level knight. One of the important reasons for his defeat was his arrogance and his taking the starlight bomb head-on.
Another reason is that he has no powerful legendary defense methods.
Hogreni is much older than Ramoos. When Ramoos was born, Hogreni had already reached adulthood and reached the legendary realm.
After hundreds of years of accumulation, Hogreni has already been promoted to the third level of legend.
After being promoted to the third level of legend, dragons are more powerful than ordinary fourth-level knights. Moreover, Hogreni is a legendary magic dragon. According to some standards, Hogreni can be called a plane powerhouse. Dragons of her level can already participate in the battle between demigods and gods.
Whether it is terrible physical strength or magical power, it can pose a little threat to the gods.
After seeing Harland lead the magic ship, Hogreni immediately let out a roar, and then a dragon flame spewed out from the sky.
A large piece of blazing flames fell from the sky, and actually wrapped the three magic ships in it.
This flame is white, with extremely high temperature, and its power is much stronger than the legendary second-level soul spell Phoenix Flame mastered by Richard. It is Hogreni's soul spell White Dragon Breath.
Just looking at its energy intensity, it is no less than the third level of legend.
Seeing the white dragon's breath coming down from the sky, three magic ships released defensive barriers one after another.
Two of the three magic ships Richard deployed to attack the dragon's nest this time were large magic ships.
The energy modules of large magic ships are all based on legendary energy crystals, which can release legendary defensive barriers.
Three defensive barriers rose on the magic ships, blocking the dragon flames falling from the sky.
The two large magic ships were still able to support, but the other medium-sized magic ship sounded the alarm. In just a few dozen seconds, the defensive barrier could not withstand the violent dragon flames and could break at any time.
Seeing this scene, Sofia took decisive action, first using a displacement spell to board the medium-sized magic ship, and then released a high-level defensive barrier spell to help the medium-sized magic ship stabilize the situation.
At the same time, Wendy and Wendy, two veteran nine-ring magicians, simultaneously released eight-ring magic confinement chains. In an instant, two energy chains entangled Hogreni's hind legs, restricting her in a small space.
Undine and Wendy both had a mental power of nearly fifty points, and the intensity of the magic they released was like that of a small legendary wizard.
After the two eight-ring magics were released, although Hogreni had a very high magic resistance, they still achieved good results, making it more difficult for Hogreni to fly.
Seeing Hogreni's movement slow down, Richard decisively released the starlight bomb.
A thick starlight fell from the sky, and the speed of the attack was extremely fast. Even if Hogreni flapped his wings hard, he still couldn't dodge.
Seeing that the starlight was about to hit Hogreni, the legendary dragon flashed and released two magics in succession.
The first one was a seven-ring magic, which removed the spell effect, and the second one was to change the magic to open the different plane space.
Hogreni's mental power was not far from Richard, and his use of magic was better than Undine and Wendy. Although he only released a seven-ring magic, he just broke the two eight-ring spells of Undine and Wendy.
In a flash, he actually opened up the space of the other plane.
Hogreni is different from Ramos.
Ramos mainly relies on the dragon's powerful body to fight, and his mastery of dragon language magic is very general.
Hogreni is born to be studious, and has mastered most of the dragon language magic. Her magician level is stronger than that of a legendary second-level magician like Richard.
When fighting, she relies more on magic.
If it is a one-on-one fight, Richard can no longer control Hogreni, and the fight between the two will require a long time of probing and entanglement.
Only after releasing multiple spells can it be possible to catch the opponent's flaws.
But when the two armies fight, there are naturally companions around.
Although there is Ramos around Hogreni, this dragon has been severely damaged by the starlight bomb, and has a shadow in his heart. He only fights on the periphery and dares not to move forward.
Moreover, Ramos uses more physical attacks, and the most released magic is still the dragon's breath. Facing the attacks of the three legendary professionals Sutton, Wilde, and Rand, he is no longer able to help Hogreni fight.
Seeing that Hogreni was about to enter the other plane to avoid danger, Sylph took action very decisively.
Sylph has elven blood and has awakened several powerful spells in her body.
Seeing that Hogreni was about to open the door to the other plane, Sylph took the lead and used the blood magic time stop.
This spell is a standard legendary template spell. Because it involves the power of time and space, it actually touches the origin of the source sea. Although Sylph has mastered the spell template, she does not understand the deep roots of this magic at all.
On the contrary, Richard, Sofia, Undine and other magicians who have studied relativity know that time is space and space is time, and have a deeper understanding of this spell. However, without special blood, even legendary magicians cannot engrave the spell template on their souls.
After the time stop spell was released, with Hogreni as the center, time stopped immediately within a few hundred meters in diameter, and fell into a strange space.
Although Sylph has little magic power and Hogreni's magic resistance is extremely high, she can only limit Hogreni for one or two seconds. But in the fierce legendary magic war, one or two seconds can change the situation of the war.
With the spell released by Sylph to restrain him, Richard seized the opportunity well and released a starlight bomb that hit Hogreni hard.
In an instant, a white light bloomed from Hogreni's body.
A protective barrier wrapped her inside.
This barrier is the legendary scroll Energy Annihilation drawn by Hogreni.
Hogreni has a long life and is very diligent in learning magic. In fact, she is very knowledgeable. She has mastered many magic professions. She is not only a legendary pharmacist, but also a legendary alchemist. In the profession of making scrolls, she also showed a very high level, no less than the legendary human magician.
This legendary spell is a passive trigger type spell, which has a strong defense against energy radiation type spells. Although the energy level is slightly lower than that of the starlight bomb, it can resist more than half of the explosion and radiation.
It is precisely because of the collection of three legendary defense scrolls Energy Annihilation that Hogreni is not very afraid of the starlight bomb.
In fact, in addition to the legendary defense scroll, Hogreni also has a legendary magic defense item, but the level is far lower than the starlight necklace. In order to avoid being damaged by the starlight bomb, Hogreni chose to use a disposable scroll.
The starlight bomb made a loud bang, and even though it was daytime, the bright light stung everyone's eyes.
The violent energy directly tore apart the defensive barrier on Hogreni's body and penetrated her body.
Hogreni's body became riddled with holes in an instant, like a sieve.
The legendary dragon's body has a strong ability to recover. Although it has not reached the stage of blood regeneration, it is not difficult for Hogreni to reconnect broken limbs.
Moreover, this starlight bomb has not broken Hogreni's limbs or wings.
At this moment, although the injuries on Hogreni's body look miserable, they are not even considered serious injuries.
Judging from the situation that Ramos and Hogreni endured a starlight bomb, Hogreni's strength is indeed extraordinary and has entered the ranks of plane powerhouses.
Richard had fought with no less than 20 legendary professionals, some of whom were weaker and some were more difficult, but none of them could withstand the starlight bomb.
The more powerful legends could only escape after being injured by the starlight bomb.
Hogreni was also the first legendary powerhouse who took the starlight bomb head-on without being seriously injured.
Although he was not seriously injured, Hogreni's vitality was reduced by one tenth, and he was still losing blood from a lot of skin injuries. He felt intense pain all over his body, so Hogreni couldn't help but scream.
A strong scream sounded.
The dragon's scream was surprisingly thrilling.
