Sunrise time. Drague flapped his wings and flew over the sea toward the sun. The dazzling sunlight forced Ella to close her eyes tightly all the way. Because she can't see things around her clearly, whenever Drague's body rises and falls in the clouds, Ella always feels the fear of falling from the abyss.
Even so, Ella still raced against time to tell Draguet the next plan.
"The Theodosian Wall of Constantiniya is believed to be breakable only by magicians of the 'Elf King' level. This is not an exaggeration. When building it, the Seven Hills Empire mixed the 'Philosopher's Vessel' into the stone. , which allows Theodosian Wall to absorb most of the magical power attacking it."
Drague opened her mouth, and as she transformed into a dragon, every word she spoke could shatter the clouds around her: "What is the 'Philosopher's Vessel'?"
"I don't know. When I was in Constantiniya, I thought this was the basic material for city building. But after traveling to many countries I discovered that this material was only used for Theodosian walls. I was in Gothic When Lan was building the city, he thought about adding a little bit of this thing. In order to get the method of making it, I searched through the collection of books in the Wang Family Library. However, no book mentioned what a 'philosopher's vessel' is or how to make it. It only appears in documents related to the Theodosian Wall, and is only briefly mentioned every time. Judging from the fact that no other city walls in the Seven Hills Empire used the 'Philosopher's Vessel', this thing is extremely rare. And the production method may have been lost.”
"It doesn't matter." Drague said, "We can fly directly into Constantiniya from the air! But how are we going to get the Robbery of Longinus? I can't defeat tens of thousands of people by myself. Of the human praetorian guard!”
"Just attack the Praetorian Guards camp and lure the Praetorian Guards commander to throw the Spear of Longinus at you! I have a spell that can make it lose its attack power!"
"learn."
Draguet waved his wings vigorously, breaking through the clouds that had been shaken to the size of broken glass.
Konstantiniya is ahead. Even from a high altitude, the Theodosian Wall is still majestic. Drague accelerated his wings and flapped his wings several times, and quickly passed over the Theodosian wall before the defenders could react.
People in the city first felt that the sky was cloudy. When they spotted a red dragon flying over the city, they all screamed and hid inside.
Ella soon discovered something strange about Constantinieri: "Strange, the only people allowed to camp in Constantinieri should be the Guards. Why is there an additional military camp along the coast in the northeast corner?"
That was obtained by Aulus, the Admiral of the Seven Hills Empire, in exchange for the fact that Ella's uncle intended to murder Ella, but Ella did not know it.
"Which military camp to attack?" Drague asked.
"For some reason, this new military camp looks irritating!" Ella said, "Just attack it!"
"learn."
Draguet flew over the naval barracks and circled back and forth in the air. Most of the navy has been taken by Aulus to attack the island republic, and there are only a few guards in the camp. Finding that the military camp was being targeted by the red dragon, they were so frightened that they threw away their weapons and hid in the house like the citizens.
"It makes me even more angry. Drague, give them a fire!"
Upon hearing these words, Drague flapped his wings forward, hovering his body in the air, and at the same time let out a dragon roar below: "yol toor shul (breath of fire)"
Amidst the roar, the red dragon's breath flew down from the sky like a waterfall. Just as the military camp was about to be engulfed in flames, something unexpected happened -
When the Dragon's Breath fell to almost the same height as the Theodosian City Wall, the Theodosian City Wall suddenly emitted a burst of dazzling light. An invisible barrier covered the sky above the entire city, swallowing up all the Dragon's Breath!
"What's going on?" Ella was shocked, "Why didn't I know that my home's wall also had this function?"
Drague hovered in the sky for a while wordlessly, and the light emitted by the city wall seemed to remind him of something.
"Since magic can't penetrate, let's just fall from the sky!" Drague said. Before Ella could grasp its neck, it pressed its head down, and its whole body fell towards the military camp like a falling stone.
Something surprising happened again. Just when Drague was about to fall to the same height as the dragon's breath just now, it suddenly felt that all the strength in its body was being drained away. At the same time, the dragon's breath that had just disappeared reappeared and shot in the direction of Drague!
Drague was shocked, and used all his strength to continuously flap his wings. This time he finally stopped his body from falling and flew diagonally upward. The hot dragon's breath brushed against her body, blackening the dragon scales on her abdomen.
"It's impossible to attack Constantiniya from the air like this!" Without saying a word, Drague turned around and flew out of the city. "Let's move some rocks and try to hit the military camp physically!"
"Drague, pay attention below!" Ella exclaimed, "The defenders on the city are already targeting you!"
A row of giant crossbows mounted on the city wall were now aimed at Draguet in the sky under the control of the defenders. The ammunition loaded on the giant crossbow is not so much the missing crossbow as it is the huge spears. These giant crossbows have different shapes. Some crossbows have four crossbow arrows lying side by side, and each crossbow arrow is relatively smaller. Some crossbows only have one spear on them, and two people are required to work together just to carry the ammunition.
These crossbows are masterpieces of Seven Hills Empire engineering. Even the smallest crossbow arrow can be inserted into the stone city wall after being fired!
At a loud command, these huge crossbow arrows were taken off their strings at the same time, and shot towards Drague in the air with astonishing momentum.
"Fus——ro dah! (Unrelieved)"
Drague used all his strength in this roar. A huge force pushed the flying crossbow arrows. The smaller crossbow arrows deviated from their original trajectories due to this huge force, but the three largest crossbow arrows broke through the obstruction of this force. The first one brushed Drague's tail; the second one hit the thickest dragon scale on Drague's chest and failed to penetrate successfully, but it made Drague spit out a mouthful of blood. ; and the third one hit Draguet's right wing, and with a hiss, a small part of Draguet's wing was torn off!
The severe pain prevented Drague from swinging her right wing. She could no longer maintain the balance of her body. Her body tilted to the right, falling straight from the air, and finally landed directly in front of the Theodosian wall with a "bang".
