Chapter 1521 Bloody Wave
“The Silver Knight was very frantic. After killing the Tengumon, it used its wing claws and wing blades to cut the Tengumon’s body into pieces.
Probably to chop up any gnawing insects lurking inside the corpse, though the Tengumon was most likely not infected."
Selvagina said as he led the way.
Gordon noticed that this knight of the kingdom always used the title "Silver Knight" when referring to the Original Lord Silver Dragon.
It seems that the influence of this title on the kingdom's knights is far more profound than they imagined.
Selvagina continued, "After chopping up the Tengumon's body, the Silver Knight was about to leave.
But it suddenly turned towards us without any warning and launched a direct attack.
Its actions were very direct, and it was obviously not a test or inspection, but it had already discovered our presence."
"How did it find you?" Ansir asked, "Were you hiding in a bunker? You weren't exposed in an open area, were you?"
"Of course not. We were scattered and hiding behind several broken walls. From the perspective of the Silver Knights, it should be unlikely that we would be exposed."
"Could it be the smell? Or did you make some noise?" Feng Ying asked.
"As for sound, it's basically impossible. The straight-line distance is more than 300 meters. Unless they shout loudly on purpose, the sound can't be transmitted.
As for the smell, well, that seems to be the only possibility, so we need to pay special attention to it." Anshil analyzed.
"Its sprint speed is very fast. I was fortunate enough to witness the scene of the Tianhelong catching its prey. In my opinion, at least in short-distance sprinting, its speed is even faster than that of the Tianhelong."
"Faster than the Comet Dragon?" Gordon whispered to himself.
When he was hunting the injured Sky Comet Dragon, he was deeply impressed by the speed of that creature.
"I asked everyone to disperse and deal with the Silver Knights with self-preservation as the first priority. After all, gnawing insects are less likely to parasitize 'small creatures' like humans.
Logically speaking, the Silver Knights shouldn't be too eager to kill us."
"Except for those who are parasitized actively." Feng Ying muttered softly.
"Can you describe its fighting style in detail?" Gordon asked.
“Naturally, most of its attacks are based on its wings and tail.
When the dragon wings covered with hard shells are closed together, they are like a giant sword. Whether it is stabbing or slashing, it is very sharp and can easily smash the stone walls and pillars in the ruins.
It can also shield the dragon's wings in front of its body to defend against attacks, with both offensive and defensive capabilities, just like a seasoned knight with a sword and shield, which is very tricky.
The dragon's tail is more sinister, sometimes it would suddenly thrust out when the dragon's wings were slashing. I almost got hit at that time. This was a gift it left for me."
Selvagina pointed to the huge scratch on his sword.
Gordon nodded slowly.
What Selvagina said was similar to the scene Feng Ying described when the Central Plains First Duke Silver Dragon hunted the Explosive Scale Dragon, but with the addition of the dragon's tail stab.
The Sky Comet Dragon's wing spear combined with the Ice Curse Dragon's tail spike? Sounds pretty intimidating.
"What happened after that? How did you escape from the pursuit of the Original Lord Silver Dragon?" Fiorina asked a key question.
"To be precise, we didn't get rid of it, but the Silver Knight left on his own, perhaps because he discovered the scent of some gnawing insect.
At that time, we were preparing to evacuate back to our base and head towards the camp in the southern part of the highlands. As a result, in the evening, we were attacked by the Silver Knights for the second time. "
"It's back again? Are you being targeted?" Feng Ying asked in surprise.
"Yes." This time it was Lepage who answered, "The second attack lasted until dark. There was no moon in the sky that day. It was so dark that I couldn't see anything. I couldn't walk without tripping over the bricks and stones on the ground.
The captain was worried that we would be more likely to encounter danger, so we found a ruin to hide in. We didn’t even dare to light a campfire. We survived the night and continued on our journey after daybreak.
"Was there a third attack after that?" Hayata asked.
“No, we had already arrived near the ancient castle, and the Silver Dragon never appeared again.
At that time, we considered continuing to evacuate and return to the base, but the captain was worried that the Jue Silver Dragon would follow us from a distance and pose a threat to the base.
So we went into the castle and hid.”
The old knight Arlo, who had been silent the whole time, nodded and commented, "A cautious and wise decision."
"We rested in the castle for a while. Last night, I was bored, so I walked around the ruins.
As a result, we made some new discoveries. Perhaps, that was the real reason why the Silver Knights stopped chasing us.
—It is avoiding the castle.”
Selvagina stopped and pointed forward, "The truth is in the hall ahead. Everyone, are you ready?"
"So mysterious." Feng Ying made a face at him.
Holding up the shield, he came to the front of the team together with General Arlo, who was the defender.
Gordon and other swordsmen also placed their hands on the grips of their weapons, protecting the archers in the center, maintaining a guard formation, and slowly moving forward.
They passed through an extremely large entrance hall. The rotten wooden door leading to the main hall was already shaky and there was no need to open it with any effort. The group just slightly sideways and successfully passed through the gap between the two doors and entered the main hall.
Sunlight filtered through the gap between the skylight and the wall.
The curtain flags hanging on the walls and huge pillars on both sides have long since decayed and turned into a dark brown color like rotten blood, but the stone pillars themselves still remain basically intact and solemn.
Under the reflection of a few rays of sunlight, there is a sense of broken beauty.
Feng Ying even wanted to take out her portable camera and take a few pictures.
The premise is that there are not so many disgusting insects in this hall.
In areas where sunlight could not reach, countless gnawing insects were swarming on the surrounding walls and the ground, dyeing everything in the shadows a bright red.
The size of these gnawing insects is generally not too small, with adults at least being the size of a palm, and even enlarged individuals are not uncommon.
They were motionless and sleeping quietly.
The soft wings trembled gently, like some evil flower from hell, waiting for the opportunity to devour the human world.
Holding down Feng Ying's hand as she was about to draw her sword, Gordon made a gesture.
Everyone slowly left the hall and carefully closed the rotten wooden door.
It was not until they left the hallway that Feng Ying burst out with a string of curse words, "Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck! It's so disgusting!
With so many bugs flying out, how many monsters will be infected? !
Hurry up and call the artillery team over. Killing these bugs first is more important than anything else!"
Ansir looked serious, "No, even if the artillery team carries a large number of shotgun shells, it is impossible to deal with this number of gnawing insects.
They are still sleeping now. Once they are awakened by the sound of firing, they will scatter and attack us or fly away. We will be powerless to stop them. "
Even with Gordon's courage, he felt a little scared. "Is there any other more efficient way? Burn it? Or use poison or something?"
"They can even parasitize Flame King Dragon and Kaze Dragon, what do you think?"
"Then use a more direct method and blow them to pieces, meow!"
"That's a good idea, but how many explosive bombs would it take to blow up the hall and crush all the gnawing insects in one go?"
Pig's whiskers trembled. "If it's the level of a barrel bomb, I estimate, one or two hundred meows?"
But this is obviously unrealistic. All the gunpowder in the entire Elgard stronghold combined cannot make so many large barrels of bombs.
Gordon rubbed his swollen forehead and said, "Anyway, let's retreat first. Use the Fukubiki Rabbit to send a letter and report what happened here to Admiral Gareas.
The battle against Jue Yinlong is temporarily suspended."
He was only halfway through his words when he was interrupted by a series of unusual and dense noises.
Then there was the rustling sound of wings rubbing against each other and the loud bang of a wooden door being knocked down.
Countless gnawing insects turned into huge blood-colored waves, rushed out of the hall, and rushed towards them.
