Chapter 403: Breaking Out of the Cocoon and Becoming a Dragon, the King Returns
Tut, tut, tut!
An Osprey helicopter, two Chinook transport helicopters, and two Apache armed helicopters flew in from far to near, lowering their altitude slightly when approaching the beach, but also ensuring a safe distance from being hit.
There was no Mold Air Force paint or logo on the fuselage of these five military helicopters, only a palm-sized half-rotten world tree above the tail of the Osprey helicopter.
The strong funds of Kassel College come from the powerful board of directors. Several major families are well-known aristocrats in their respective countries, and have been involved in the fields of economy, politics, military, science and technology. A few helicopters are just a drop in the bucket for the college.
"According to the communication records and portable video recordings of the advance team, in addition to Samson, there is also a dragon in the cave where Norton cocooned. It is about 20 meters long, not big and agile, blue, and suspected to be able to cause the temperature to drop." Assistant Minister Yang Lin quickly repeated the information currently known.
"Three-headed dragon, very good, we must catch them all in one fell swoop while Norton is cocooning. Danger and opportunity coexist. This is a rare opportunity for mankind." Von Schneider looked at the sea surface displayed on the screen. A large number of broken pieces of cargo ships were drifting with the waves. The hull was estimated to have sunk to the bottom of the sea. All the life detectors equipped by the ship's specialists had no fluctuations.
This was a middle-aged man with a gloomy and cold look. Even though he was sitting, he could still see his tall and thin figure. His iron-gray eyes were drooping, making people dare not look directly at him.
The man wore a black mask on his face, and an air pipe was connected to the oxygen tank in a basket at his feet. While speaking, his breathing was low and sticky, like a broken bellows, as if a 100-year-old man with a dying candle was whispering his last words.
Unlike other people in the cabin, the man did not wear combat uniforms. A slim black suit made him look more like a ruthless Italian gangster godfather who didn't talk much. His neck was covered with dark red scars, which looked as hideous as if ugly worms were clinging to him. However, considering his fragile life that needs a respirator to maintain, it is impossible for him to go into battle personally.
Von Schneider, a former professor of dragon genealogy.
In the Greenland Ice Sea Operation in 2001, he led Finkel and other students to dive and encountered a dragon attack. Except for him and Finkel, the entire army was wiped out, and their bodies were sealed in the cold sea water, including the girl Finkel loved deeply.
Schneider suffered a double blow physically and mentally. After returning to the academy, he no longer served as a mentor and became the head of the executive department. After taking office, he increased the vigorous search and annihilation of the dragons. Like Angers, he made killing the dragons his goal for the rest of his life.
At the same time, he is also Chu Zihang's mentor.
Because Schneider's own situation is not suitable for going to the front line, most of the time he sits in the academy in the rear and commands remotely, but the highest SS-level mission of encircling and suppressing Dragon King Norton is worthy of the head of the executive department to go out in person. Perhaps too many commissioners have died at the hands of Chu Xin recently, and Schneider wants to see Chu Xin being crushed to pieces with his own eyes.
His presence is more like a backbone and a shot in the arm, which is a great encouragement to the commissioners.
In fact, the executive department dispatched more than five helicopters for this operation. There are two modified ships that are no different from warships floating in the sea dozens of kilometers away, which can provide manpower, material and firepower support at any time. But they did not approach because they were worried about the sneak attack of the underwater old cunning Samson.
Not only that, the entire Norton Project Action Team kept in touch with the academy. Angers and all students, professors and mentors would provide brain support at the first time. At this moment, all A-level and above students of the academy gathered in the conference hall, ready to solve any problems that the action team might encounter.
"The last weapons inspection, in addition, think about whether there is anything to add in the suicide note," Schneider said in the channel communication, "If you really want to, run ten kilometers for me when you go back!"
A few minutes later, with Angers' order thousands of miles away, two Chinook helicopters flew to an open space on the cliff, and nearly a hundred people ran out with guns and live ammunition.
Some people quickly occupied the point and set up defenses, especially the lush forest behind them, to prevent possible attacks from the enemy.
Some people deployed instruments and equipment to closely monitor various indicators in the air, collect and analyze the surrounding soil, vegetation, and water sources, and synchronize them to the academy at the first time.
Some people were equipped with the most sophisticated individual combat weapons, and formed a team to lower the hook rope to the cave entrance under the cliff, but did not enter directly. Instead, they neatly placed explosive weapons at the entrance of the cave, and then ambushed with reefs as cover and dispersed in an orderly manner.
They are the reconnaissance team, the detection team, and the combat team.
During this period, the two Apaches stared at the forest and the sea, and once there was any disturbance or ups and downs, they would immediately suppress the fire. The four-unit Hellfire anti-tank missiles and the 19-unit Sea Serpent rocket launchers carried on the short wings on both sides of the fuselage, as well as the single-barreled chain gun with alchemical warheads under the nose, are all thermal weapons and heavy firepower that cannot be underestimated.
The Osprey helicopter where Schneider was located continued to climb to a hovering altitude to prevent being beheaded by the enemy, serving as a battlefield command room with an overall view.
"Launch!"
The combat team leader Marina was a tall and strong woman in her early thirties. She was obviously white but had a rough brown skin from the sun and wind. However, her clear and firm cheeks, bright and three-dimensional facial features, and perfectly proportioned figure all showed her beauty and charm.
After graduation, she joined the executive department and has been fighting on the most dangerous front line for more than ten years. Her great reputation has made the mixed-race organizations in Australia in awe. She has proved her true A-level bloodline with outstanding mission results time and time again.
When she shouted, several team members carrying rocket launchers on their shoulders pulled the trigger, and rockets flew into the dark cave one after another.
Bang——
Instantly, the darkness was dispelled by the scorching light, and the cave was shaking and rocks were falling continuously.
"Second round, fire!" Marina said coldly.
The purpose is very simple, that is, to lure out the two dragon servants, otherwise the plan cannot be advanced at all. The cave with such a harsh environment is not suitable for combat at all. In the case of the enemy being in the dark and we being in the light, the enemy being strong and we being weak, I am afraid that even a legion going deep into it may not be effective.
Bang bang bang!
"Roaring——"
In the resounding sound of artillery fire, a beast roar suddenly penetrated, like a soprano standing out from the crowd.
Hearing the sharp dragon roar that sounded like the hum of swords, everyone tensed up and was ready for battle.
As they were concentrating, the corpse guard Luoshen jumped out of the bursting fire waves with curling water vapor, flapping his wings to dozens of meters in the air.
"I'm waiting for you." Marina curled her lips and pressed the detonator in her hand with her thumb.
Boom——
The explosives arranged in a circle around the cave entrance were detonated, and countless alchemical fragments turned into the blade of the god of death under the blessing of the shock wave, covering every part of Luoshen's body in all directions.
"Fire!"
There was no need for Marina to say more. The combat team unanimously poured firepower on the huge blue creature. Rifles, heavy machine guns, heavy machine guns, grenades, and alchemical explosives rushed to the same destination in no particular order. Countless hot shells were scattered on the beach, and the real money was spent.
Dragon slaying has always been a money-burning business, and it is understandable that Kassel College has found a bunch of wealthy school directors.
"Roar~~~"
Such a fierce hot weapon attack caught Luo Shen off guard. She could only passively defend and dodge. Fortunately, she is now an unconscious zombie, otherwise she would really sigh, "The times have changed."
After being refined into a corpse guard, Luo Shen, who only has combat consciousness, cannot use the word spirit, but after all, she is a dragon body of the next generation. Although her body is of the middle and lower class among the next generation, the hardness and toughness of her scales and muscles are definitely not made of paper.
After all, no matter how strong the alchemical warheads and alchemical fragments of the academy are, they are not Chu Xin's seven deadly sins. In terms of alchemy, humans can't even touch Chu Xin's heels.
"It wants to take off!" Marina shouted with her head down.
"Leave it to us!" The inspection team on the cliff immediately got busy.
Four artillery machines have been deployed in place, and four alchemical crossbows with a length of five meters have been installed inside.
They were made by the equipment department of the academy and named "Broken Wing Arrows". It is indeed difficult for the sharp arrowhead to pierce the dragon's head at once, but what about the wings with only flesh membrane and no scales?
Whoosh × 2
Four crossbow arrows flew out, with laser guidance and rocket boost. The specialists were once again amazed at the crazy people in the equipment department's wild imagination and extremely hardcore technology.
When approaching the wings of Luoshen, the warhead quickly split, and the crossbow arrow inside suddenly accelerated in the final boost and shot straight over.
Whoosh!
The slender tail instinctively swung back, and a crossbow arrow was knocked away by the end.
Hearing the sudden attack of the strong wind, Luoshen hurriedly twisted her slender body, and another crossbow arrow flew past her neck.
Puff!
Puff!
However, the remaining two crossbow arrows penetrated the same wing one after the other, piercing the thin and tough flesh membrane, and the barbs at the end of the crossbow arrows tore the wound apart. In a blink of an eye, a huge gap appeared on the right wing, like a kite cut in two-thirds by a sharp blade.
Losing its balance, Luo Shen could no longer maintain it. It fluttered twice and fell to the ground with a bang. What greeted it was the more fierce fire suppression of the combat team.
Suddenly, Marina and others all lowered their bodies to hide.
Luo Shen looked up and saw the Apache attack helicopter facing it a thousand meters away, and it roared furiously.
This look at each other formed a strong contrast between ancient life and modern technology, hot flesh and cold metal, gorgeous scales and cold steel, the change of civilization and the collision of civilization.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The Apache helicopter responded to its roar with four Hellfire anti-tank missiles, followed by twelve Sea Serpent rocket launchers.
Luoshen also got angry, and the dragon blood was boiling and violent, driving it to stand up proudly and unyieldingly, and waved its claws at the shells.
Boom--
In the explosion, the wounded Luoshen jumped out swiftly and fiercely, not retreating but advancing, killing the position of the combat group.
Corpse guards also have basic beast consciousness, especially advanced corpse guards are smarter. They know that the enemy will not attack the enemy, and they can only mix with the enemy and be inseparable. The Apache helicopter is helpless against them.
As the wolf enters the flock of sheep, the commissioners began to suffer casualties, but with sufficient preparation, they did not collapse like a whirlwind. With the orderly cooperation of each group, they barely restrained Luoshen.
At this time, the sonar put into the water made a discovery.
"It should be Samson, it can't hold it back." Schneider squinted and said hoarsely.
"Notify the investigation team and prepare for action." The assistant minister ordered.
Wow!
The sea surface was covered with waves, and the sword-like dorsal fin pierced the water and tore it apart.
Samson showed half of his head and stared at the aggressive enemy with anger but calmness.
Suddenly, the sea water around it began to boil, bubbles rolled endlessly, and the water temperature could easily boil an egg.
Buzz~~~
Word Spirit·Junyan.
Bang——
The fire element was ignited, and the high-heat and high-explosive flame shock wave rushed towards the beach. The Hellfire missile launched by another Apache helicopter was also detonated and intercepted in an instant.
The fire wave rode the wind and waves, and the water evaporated wherever it passed.
The launch of the word spirit was extremely rapid, because Samson did not start chanting after he emerged, but had been accumulating power for a long time on the seabed.
Samson showed his wisdom and forbearance that was no less than that of humans with his actual actions, and his golden eyes revealed human ridicule and contempt.
"Get down!" Marina screamed.
As soon as the voice fell, the flame shock wave landed.
More than a dozen specialists could not avoid it, and their skin and flesh were instantly charred and they were knocked hundreds of meters away by the shock wave. They fell far away and did not move, and they were silent throughout the whole process.
More people were knocked over by the shock wave, and immediately felt dizzy and lost. Luoshen seized the opportunity to harvest heads. In a few short blinks, the beach was covered with broken limbs and arms, and blood dyed a large area of reefs red.
The two of them cooperated very well, one was a mage AOE, and the other was an assassin who entered the field to harvest the remaining blood.
"Bronze throne."
Marina saw Luoshen slapping her with a claw, and she released the word spirit without hesitation, strengthening her body to the hardness of steel to resist.
She staggered and climbed up after flying 30 meters. Fortunately, only her left arm was comminuted and she saved her life temporarily.
"What are you waiting for! Fire!" Because of the blood in her throat, Marina's roar was a little unclear, but her tone was still unquestionable.
Compared with death, she was more afraid of mission failure, which meant that death was meaningless.
Bang bang bang!
The two Apaches once again output to the limit and emptied all the ammunition on board.
But there were still members of the combat team on the beach, and it was inevitable that someone would be accidentally injured. This was also the reason why the air unit had not attacked for a long time. Fortunately, the Hellfire was a special blade missile, and the two targets were huge, so the probability of accidental injury was not high.
Samson was suppressed underwater and did not show up. He could not break its defense, but it was really painful.
Luoshen no longer picked up heads, and flexibly jumped to dodge the artillery fire. Originally a sea mage, it was forced to act as an assassin, and it was covered with a lot of wounds.
Whoosh!
The Osprey helicopter also launched several shells, but after the explosion, it was not gunpowder and alchemical fragments, but thick smoke.
The large smoke bomb spread quickly, and the special substance affected the dragon's sensory judgment, buying time for the combat team to retreat. The detection team helped the survivors return to the cliff.
However, Samson and Luoshen did not notice that the reconnaissance team on the cliff was quietly and quickly entering the cave under the cover of smoke bombs.
The executive department knew that Samson was extremely clever and cunning. In order to prevent it from discovering its true purpose, two modified warships dozens of kilometers away launched multiple torpedoes equipped with alchemical warheads, pointing directly at Samson.
…
Swish!
Without the obstruction of the dragon servants, the dozen people in the reconnaissance team moved very quickly, holding alchemical instruments to determine the route through the fluctuations of elemental components.
Soon, they arrived at the deepest cave after many twists and turns.
Dragon's ovary, the king's bedroom!
Looking at the scene that could be called lava hell, everyone was silent, shocked to the point of trembling souls.
They swallowed their saliva with dry mouths, knowing that the giant thing wrapped in layers of dark red matter was the dragon king Norton who could wake up at any time!
Anyone would be terrified to dare to trespass into the dragon king's transformation place.
"Stop wasting time, hurry up."
They quickly took out the super alchemical bombs provided by the equipment department. The power was so great that theoretically, only one bomb was needed to destroy the bronze city under the Three Gorges Reservoir.
And at this moment, there were ten bombs!
The equipment department didn't know how big the explosion would be. Those crazy scientists only piled up the numbers and damage, and didn't care whether they would take away friendly forces.
Two minutes later.
"OK."
"I'm done too."
"Retreat!"
"Wait, are our lights that bright?"
No matter how to use one sentence to make a bunch of human elites who are special forces scalp numb and back cold.
A dozen people trembled and looked up.
The light source came from the dome at the top, and it was completely different from the white light of the searchlight.
It was golden, the purest golden color!
Buzz~~~
At some point, the dark red giant cocoon broke a narrow hole, golden light overflowed from it, and a black vertical pupil slowly condensed.
"Eyes, Norton's golden pupil~"
One of them had a soft knee and knelt down involuntarily.
The others pulled him up weakly, supporting each other and fleeing to the exit in a panic.
"Roar——"
Chu Xin let out a majestic dragon roar.
At this moment, all the volcanoes along the coast of Lavager seemed to be stimulated by something and erupted one after another.
The golden light stained the darkness, the steel-like cocoon was torn apart by sharp claws, and the huge dragon wings spread and bloomed with scorching flames.
The cocoon broke out and became a dragon, and the king returned!
