"It's a two-legged flying dragon!"
"It's coming for us!"
Rein urgently shouted out a warning!
Luo De didn't know what a two-legged flying dragon was, but judging by its appearance, it didn't seem like something to mess with. He immediately commanded loudly,
"Women and children, all into the cellar!"
"Everyone else, prepare for battle!"
"Quick, quick, quick!"
Seeing the massive creature in the sky, no one dared to be careless. The women dropped their cooking and rushed to the cellar with their children in their arms!
The soldiers quickly got up, tightly gripping their weapons as they looked towards the sky, swallowing nervously and stepping back.
It's understandable, after all, people are always afraid of creatures they've never seen before.
Luo De was no exception, but as the lord, he couldn't retreat or panic.
"Rein, do you know this thing?"
"I know! My grandfather encountered one when he was young! This creature is related to the legendary dragon. Apart from being smaller and unable to use magic, it's almost the same as a dragon!"
Rein urgently explained, "It took over the mine cave in the mountain half a month ago. I saw it when I went to collect ore..."
"Then you'll take command now!"
Before Rein could finish speaking, Luo De decisively commanded, "Everyone, follow his instructions!"
Rein was the only one here who had knowledge of the two-legged flying dragon and was also a hunter, making him the most suitable person to deal with it.
Luo De was willing to trust Rein to do the professional job.
Rein didn't hesitate, taking the bow and arrow and quiver handed over by Durant, he said, "I need you and that strong man to draw the two-legged flying dragon's attention."
"Okay!"
"No problem!"
Durant and Gang Le responded in unison.
"Other soldiers, don't get close to it, stay on the side to harass and distract it. If it targets you, run into the wooden hut immediately, don't let it catch you!"
"Its wings and scales are extremely tough, ordinary weapons can't harm it. Its only weak point is the pale soft skin on its underbelly, otherwise you have to stick it in its mouth!"
"Don't get caught by it, its claws and teeth are poisonous!"
"And the spikes on its tail!"
Rein quickly introduced the characteristics of the two-legged flying dragon, then immediately turned to instruct his companions, "Dolan, Macao, prepare the claw hooks. Everyone else, come with me to deal with it!"
"Okay!"
The hunters responded in unison and quickly scattered to prepare.
Rein finally cast his gaze on Luo De, "Lord, you can't be the bait, you'd better head inside the hut too!"
"Alright."
After Luo De was adopted as the fourth son, he was qualified to learn the family Natural Wind Breathing Technique, but having only studied for a little over a month, he was only considered a knight's squire.
Moreover, it was not suitable for a lord to charge into battle, so Luo De decisively turned around and slipped into the wooden hut.
The two-legged flying dragon was now above the village in the sky, its nearly ten-meter wingspan casting a massive, terrifying shadow on the ground.
By this time, everyone had scattered into the wooden huts, leaving only Durant and Gang Le in the village square.
"This thing really looks like the dragons in the illustrations!"
Gang Le smacked his lips as he commented, his hand gripping the war axe was already turning white from exertion.
The two-legged flying dragon's dark blue scales shimmered with a metallic luster, its giant lizard-like head almost identical to a dragon's, but without horns.
As its name suggests, it had no forelimbs, only two legs.
Gang Le raised his war axe towards the sky, shouting, "Hey, big guy, come on!"
Unfortunately, the two-legged flying dragon didn't seem to notice him, still circling in the air as if searching for something.
"Mocking us, huh?"
Gang Le grumbled, then picked up a long spear beside him and hurled it towards the two-legged flying dragon!
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing rang out as the spear hit the two-legged flying dragon without causing any harm before falling back down.
This time, however, it did manage to catch the dragon's attention as it swooped down towards Gang Le!
"Damn!"
Gang Le cursed, quickly sidestepping to dodge!
The two-legged flying dragon relentlessly pursued him, forcing him to dodge left and right, destroying the jars and pots in the village.
Seizing the opportunity, Durant charged in front of the two-legged flying dragon and struck at its wing with his sword!
Clang!
Another crisp metallic sound echoed, only leaving a shallow cut on the dragon's wing!
Even though he anticipated it, Durant was still a bit surprised!
Even the wings are this tough!
Durant wanted to swing a second time, but the two-legged flying dragon's tail was already sweeping across!
Bang!
The shack was instantly smashed into ruins, dust rising, and Durant rolled to the side in embarrassment, avoiding being buried in the wreckage.
Just then, the guards threw short knives and long spears from all directions, though they did no harm, they left the dragon momentarily disoriented.
The two-legged flying dragon inherited the dragon's violent and arrogant nature; such an attack, though not harmful, was an insult to it.
It flapped its wings, preparing to rise into the air again, when two claw hooks suddenly flew out from either side, precisely latching onto the dragon's hind legs!
"Nice!"
Gang Le wiped dirt off his mouth, wielding his axe, he charged at the dragon, but the sand and dust stirred up by its wings blinded him!
Meanwhile, surprisingly, the two-legged flying dragon slowly ascended using its wing power, dragging the hunters holding the hooks along!
"Help!"
Durant shouted, and several soldiers ran out to pull the ropes, dragging the two-legged flying dragon back to the ground!
Several sharp arrows shot through the air, aiming at the dragon's underbelly!
But at that moment, the dragon folded its wings together, blocking all the arrows!
And the two-legged flying dragon lost balance, crashing straight to the ground!
Bang!
A loud crash resounded, dust rose, throwing down the ones pulling the ropes due to inertia!
Simultaneously, its sharp wings cut the ropes of the left hook, and the unrestrained dragon immediately locked onto the fallen group on the right!
"Scatter!"
Durant shouted loudly, but ordinary soldiers didn't have his quick reflexes.
As they saw the dragon's menacing face looming closer, they were petrified!
With limp legs failing them, they struggled on the ground, unable to rise!
"Help!"
"Save me!"
"I don't want to die!"
The soldiers cried out in despair, some even calling for their mothers!
From afar, Rein and the hunters kept firing at the dragon, but their once sharp arrows were now like weak wax, unable to penetrate the hard scale armor, falling to the ground with a mournful clink!
"It's over!"
"I'll never taste mom's pancakes again..."
Just as the soldiers were losing hope, a figure darted out from a nearby wooden hut!
He swung a massive heavy sword down at the dragon's neck with divine force!
Screech!
The screeching sound of metal slicing erupted, the dragon's head was cleaved off in one stroke!
The dragon's head flew through the air, drawing a brilliantly red arc, its body slamming into the ground!
Boom!
A resounding boom echoed as dust flared up!
When the dust settled, the all-too-familiar figure appeared before everyone!
"Baron?!"
Gang Le let out a deafening shout, echoing throughout the now silent village!
Everyone widened their eyes, holding their breath in disbelief, staring at their lord!
"Scared me half to death."
Luo De propped himself up with his sword, patted his chest, and let out a long breath.
At this moment, a prompt appeared,
