Chapter 195 Another queen as good as Calanthe
"You slackers, get moving!"
Upon hearing the call for help, the nearest Kaedweni officer immediately shouted at his soldiers to attack.
However, these lax soldiers were still drinking and having fun just now. Although order was quickly restored, it was obviously still some time before they could fight.
Lan En stared at the small black dot in the sky for a while, and suddenly showed a look of joy.
"Let's go first!"
Lord Lannister made a prompt decision and led his team of witchers and cavalry to rush towards the place where the call for help was issued, leaving behind the Kaedwin officer who was cursing at the disastrous performance of his troops.
The sound of the horn was not far from the entrance of the camp, and Lann and his subordinates soon approached the troops asking for help.
The reason why Lan ran out so hurriedly was because he had only one purpose - to grab monsters and gain the right to distribute the spoils.
The things flying in the sky are not monsters in his eyes, but bottles of decoction.
The two monsters seemed to be a pair of partners, working together tacitly. Their appearance looked like some kind of legendary creature called a "dragon", but they looked smaller, with a body length of only about four meters, about the same as a griffin.
At the same time, they have extremely degenerated wing-like forelimbs, and the scales on their body surface are thin and broken. In many places, their tough skin is directly exposed, and their screams are hoarse and unpleasant.
They look more like winged lizards than dragons.
They had inverted spikes on the upper end of their noses and ears, and there were even larger horny protrusions like butcher knives on their tails. Just when Lan and the others were dozens of steps away from here, they also saw the tail blade.
The master's swooping throw easily shattered an oaken shield.
[Genus of dragon-like creatures]——Fork-tailed dragon.
Few people know what a giant dragon really looks like. After all, people who have seen a giant dragon up close are almost impossible to survive and tell others. Therefore, some people always mistake other monsters for giant dragons, such as the fork-tailed "dragon" in front of them.
.
For this kind of large lizard with wings, people give them the reputation of "dragon-like".
The Fork-tailed Dragon is named because of its deadly tail, but this creature is obviously far from a real dragon. An experienced witcher with sufficient preparation can kill it alone, and a trained team
A team of skilled archers is also capable of suppressing, driving away, and even shooting them.
The troop in front of him was larger than Lann's, probably close to a hundred people, including a dozen genuine knights.
Just two fork-tailed dragons would never be able to make such a force blow the horn for help. And the fact was just as Lann expected, in addition to the fork-tailed dragons, the troops on the ground were also fighting a group of monsters the size of teenagers.
In combat.
These monsters look like skinned humans, with hideous and ugly faces, thick hands and feet with sharp claws, and almost no necks. Some of them stand on all fours like cats, and some have shorter claws.
Stand on both feet.
[Ghoul creature type]——Ghoul, rot-eating demon.
The four-legged ones are ghouls, and the two-legged ones are rotten demons. You can guess their respective habits based on their names.
Ghouls have similar combat capabilities to water ghosts. The only difference is that one is on the ground and the other is in the water. The rotten ghoul is a little bit more special——
"For the Queen!" A knight shouted his faith, urging his horse to use his lance to pierce a carrion demon that was as fast as the horse.
However, just when this heroic knight wanted to turn the gun head towards the next target, he saw the carrion demon clad like rotten flesh on the lance suddenly twitched and shook, and then——
There was a "bang" sound and it exploded.
Knowledge point 1: After killing the rotting demon, it will immediately move away. If it looks at it again, it will explode.
The knight who was struck screamed in agony, and the horse under his crotch also screamed and fell to the ground. Ghouls immediately surrounded him and buried him.
The iron can-like armor bought the knight some time. Immediately, the infantry came forward to kill and drive away the monsters and pulled him back. But after taking off the mask, they were surprised to find that the knight's face was green and black.
It was obviously poisoned.
Knowledge Point 2: The gas produced by the explosion of the Corruption Demon is poisonous.
"Stay away from those two-legged monsters and use a bow and arrow!"
The commander roared like this, and some archers immediately turned their arrows towards the rotten demon.
But this time created a gap for the fork-tailed dragon that was hovering in the air and being suppressed by the rain of arrows. A black shadow flashed, and immediately an archer's neck was cut in half by the dragon's tail.
Objectively speaking, a fully armed hundred-man team is enough to deal with these monsters, and even one more fork-tailed dragon is no problem. However, the human army has one biggest problem when facing monsters - lack of experience.
Therefore, there will always be many more avoidable casualties, defeats, and even massacres.
Lann frowned as he watched all this. In addition to the wrong way the army faced monsters, he also discovered an additional problem: there should be no cooperation or even friendship between corpse-eating creatures and dragon-like creatures, attacking humans together.
The troops are contrary to their habits.
Even monsters have to be biological, right?
Just as he was thinking this, Lan saw another fork-tailed dragon in the sky swooping down to grab a rotting demon, then fluttering its wings and lifting up to throw the rotting demon down.
There was a "bang" and then a "bang", as if a biological bomb was dropped. The impact like an alchemical bomb and the permeating poisonous gas knocked down a few more unlucky people.
Well, it seems that they are not cooperating. This is a three-way melee between unlucky humans, corpse-eating creatures, and fork-tailed dragons.
Although this dense distribution of monsters is also outrageous, it is much more reasonable than the pairwise cooperation that Lan had guessed before.
Several knights were protecting a woman wearing gold armor in the middle of the team. They were overjoyed when they saw a knight appearing at the end of the road; but then they were disappointed when they saw only one knight appeared.
Black Wind was so excited that with its excellent speed, it had already left Leisuo and the others behind.
"Knights in front, don't come over. Go back and call for backup!"
Lann's speed became even faster: "I am Lann Lannister Leanne. Support will be here soon!"
The knight who shouted was filled with admiration and anxiety when he saw Lann's desperate posture, but the woman who was being protected behind him suddenly became thoughtful:
"Lannister? Lion of Cintra?"
"Hiss—" The fork-tailed dragon in the sky saw a human coming alone, and its habit of giving priority to attacking lone enemies made it immediately lower its height and swoop over.
The other knights were shocked when they saw this, but they really didn't have the energy to come to support.
Lan En's eyes flashed with excitement. I'm here just for you, the mutation inducer of the Fork-tailed Dragon, the Decoction of the Forked-tailed Dragon!
He stretched his left hand forward and pinched out the mysterious seal. The fork-tailed dragon in the sky fell down with the pressure of the formidable wind. The powerful long tail drove the sharp tail blade to attack at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye.
【Alder's Seal】!
The stronger wind pressure suddenly messed up the air in front of Lan's eyes, and the monster gliding in front of Lann's eyes immediately twisted like a puppet with its strings cut off, and fell to the ground.
"Hey——"
The black wind was unable to use the seal, but the violent wind it brought about as it ran wildly at this moment was no less than that of Lann's Alder.
Collide!
Only an astonishing muffled sound was heard, like a full-speed chariot breaking through the roadblock, and the fork-tailed dragon flew into the circle of ghouls like a rag sandbag.
A giant beast in the air with a body length of more than four meters was defeated by a horse that was almost half its size. The visual impact of this scene was simply too great!
The knights protecting the queen looked at their horses and then at Black Wind.
This horse! bumped! the fork-tailed dragon! and flew!
Who is this person? What kind of horse is this?
"The Lion of Sintra." The woman protected by the knight chanted this name again, this time her tone changed.
There was also a fork-tailed dragon in the sky. Lan turned his left hand and took out a long bow.
The crossbow is easy to fire, and is suitable for using Ashina's sword skills to attack the enemy during battle. But now that his hands are free, the traditional bow can more effectively bring out Lann's current archery skills and extraordinary strength.
This bow was a top-quality bow that Lann purchased from Novigrad and was produced in Zerikan. The handle of the bow was carefully made of mahogany, and the smooth bow blades were made of wood, whale bone and tendons. It stood up almost like a bow.
Lann is the same height, has the longest bow body and weighs the most.
A "Gala La" sound that made people's heart strings tremble slightly sounded when Lan opened his bow. After setting up a fine iron feather arrow, Lan En adjusted his breathing slightly.
"Collapse", the bowstring roared loudly, a black shadow streaked across the sky, and the wing membrane of the fork-tailed dragon was pierced. The monster fell headlong, following in the footsteps of its companions.
It was not until this moment that the sound of "whoosh" and the sound of arrows piercing the air reached everyone's ears.
The ghouls and rotten demons in the melee immediately separated and pounced on the body of the fork-tailed dragon, greatly reducing the pressure on the team asking for help.
Lann gently knocked on the horse's belly to make Black Wind steady his body, and he kept drawing his bow and arrows, piercing through the ghouls and carrion monsters one after another.
The explosion sounds of "bang" and "bang" mixed with the loud sound of solid bow strings were heard all of a sudden, which was more exciting than war drums.
The knights who were watching were about to take advantage of the victory and pursue the victory, but they heard Lan yelling at them: "Stand back!"
"Back off?" The knight was puzzled. It was obviously a victory.
"Back off!" the woman they were protecting ordered firmly.
Immediately afterwards, Lann took out a clay pot from nowhere in the sight of everyone, and ignited a flame with his fingers.
With a "bang" sound, [Honeycomb] crossed the battlefield with Lann's amazing arm strength.
With a "boom", the violent explosion far surpassed that of [Dragon Dream] and stung everyone's eardrums and eyes. Flames like a whirlwind spread out from the place where the bomb exploded, as if a real dragon was roaring at this moment.
