Chapter 33 North Wind Eagle Guard (IV)
Alger dived down quickly, taking advantage of the red dragon's huge and clumsy body, preparing to attack it by its side and go around to the blind spot behind it.
"Defeat the enemy first"
Casius's vertical pupils flashed with purple magic light, and he saw through Alger's flight direction directly, and his strong claws slapped along his flight trajectory.
"Eagle!"
Alger clamped his legs together, tightened the reins on the giant eagle, and forcibly turned its body to the right. He completed a change of direction at high speed and finally barely avoided the slap.
"Shua——"
A sound of cutting through the air came from behind.
Alger flew to the side with the giant eagle, frowning, and his heart was pounding.
He looked up and looked into the distance. The dozen or so surviving eagle guards had not escaped from the field of vision, and there were flying dragons roaring and chasing behind them.
"At least, we have to hold on until they completely escape."
Alger muttered to himself.
He flew around the door of death.
The monster in front of him was extremely agile, and it didn't look like a real red dragon at all. Moreover, it seemed to be able to see the direction of its attack, so the usual feint harassment tactics were unlikely to work.
And Cassius also became interested in this highly mobile giant eagle knight.
"As annoying as a fly."
"But it's a good soldier."
He watched the giant eagle flying rapidly around, and exhaled a breath of hot sulfur.
Alger continued to fly around, trying to find a flaw in the red dragon, and finally he found its blind spot.
"It's here!"
He dived down again unyieldingly.
Alger held the silver sword in both hands, and took advantage of the momentum of the dive to chop at the red dragon's body with all his strength.
"Dang——"
Not only did he not cause any damage to the red dragon, but his arms were numb from the shock.
The scale that was cut turned into a shiny gold color, and this blow was like chopping a piece of metal.
"Body of the Storm's Remnant!"
Casius whistled softly, and lightning suddenly released from his claws, quickly covering his body.
Alger immediately drew his sword to dodge, but the current had already been transmitted to his body along the silver sword, and also flowed through the giant eagle's body.
A sharp eagle cry sounded.
The feathers on the giant eagle's body exploded and stood up, and even the whole body was surrounded by fine arcs of electricity, which made its body feel a sharp pain, followed by paralysis and weakness.
"It's obviously a red dragon, how could it be possible?"
As a warrior, Alger has a strong physique. Although it hurts, he is not seriously injured by this fleeting current.
He barely controlled the giant eagle to prevent it from losing balance and falling, but every time he flapped his wings, the giant eagle would hear the sound of the current exploding, so he could only try his best to reduce his movements and glide at a low speed in the air.
"It's a spellcaster!"
This red dragon is a spellcaster!
And this lightning is definitely not a natural spell of the red dragon, but a learned one!
Alger thought to himself that it was not good. It was the worst thing to be an enemy of a dragon mage or a dragon warlock.
He turned his head and found that the red dragon was grinning with sharp teeth, and there was a shocking light in its golden pupils.
His heart was alarmed and he subconsciously wanted to close his eyes, but he could not avoid the speed of the spell.
"Phantom power!"
A heavy, burning iron chain was wrapped around Alger.
He wanted to think it was an illusion, but the intense burning pain on his body could not be faked. It was difficult to resist such a suggestion without special training.
The more the person who was cast believed in the illusion created by the phantom power, the more real and logical the illusion became.
Now, in Alger's eyes, his body was full of burnt marks, and the chain even quenched a fierce fire.
He and the giant eagle fell together under the drag of the chain.
"No! No!"
"This is fake!"
"I haven't taken revenge yet, how can I be here?"
"Just end it!"
Alger shouted, his throat hoarse.
He endured the pain that was about to burn him, closed his eyes tightly, and controlled the giant eagle to glide with wings only by sensing the airflow. He actually exempted the spell with his tenacious will.
When he opened his eyes again, there was nothing in front of him.
Chains, flames, scars, all disappeared.
Even Cassius in the sky was a little surprised.
"Good guy, the spell has taken effect and he can still be exempted. He is really the captain of North Wind Castle."
Seeing such a brilliant performance, Cassius finally remembered the origin of this giant eagle knight.
The famous gatekeeper boss in the previous life, the leader of the North Wind Eagle Guard, known as "Eagle Claw" and "Rackman Sharp Sword"-Alger Yeoman.
He led the Eagle Guards to participate in the siege and massacre of Tieflings many times. He was a notorious executioner under Duke Brad and a future Death Knight.
Alger lost his parents when he was young. Under the deliberate guidance of Duke Brad, he firmly believed that it was the Tieflings who sacrificed his parents to the devil. Therefore, he was bewitched to become a death warrior of the Rackman family, swore lifelong loyalty, and participated in the brutal "Tiefling Camp Massacre".
But when Alger finally approached the truth of his parents' death, Duke Brad, whom he once trusted and was willing to sacrifice his life for, turned him into an unconscious Death Knight, letting him ride the Bone Eagle and wander forever outside the Duke's Mansion.
Thinking of this, Cassius decided to spare his life.
It's not out of so-called mercy, it's just to pave the way for his plan to capture Beifong Castle. After all, those goblins and kobolds were nothing more than cheap consumables in his mind, and a few dead ones were not worth mentioning at all.
And such a personal guard who grew up in Beifeng Castle and has followed the Duke for many years is also a giant eagle knight who is very expensive to train. His value can be imagined. Cassius can definitely squeeze a lot of benefits from him. .
The red dragon flew across the sky and rushed behind the giant eagle knight who was gliding slowly.
Before he could react, Cassius cast twin spells, pointing at two targets at the same time.
"Sleep spell!"
A flash of mana flashed, and the knight who was unable to resist fell into a deep sleep with his giant eagle, fell from the sky, and was then forcibly picked up by the red dragon's strong claws.
Originally, with Alger's strength, sleep spells had no effect on him, but after experiencing the exhaustion of the battle, he was close to running out of gas and had no way to resist.
"As long as you are immune to the illusion..."
"Can you still be exempted from the hard control?"
Cassius threw it to the ground and couldn't help but said.

“What a luxurious panel.”
Cassius clicked his tongue in surprise.
In principle, the death knight is a paladin, but it’s just for reference, so don’t worry about it (escape)
