my armed maid

Chapter 94 91: The most special one

On the front battlefield, the knights looked at Xia Huilong being enveloped by several high-level spells. Instead of showing a relaxed expression on their faces, they secretly became nervous.

Judging from previous contacts, Xia Huilong will not only not be injured by high-level spells, but can also benefit from them and replenish his magic power.

Logically speaking, after obtaining this information, mages should not be allowed to attack it during this crusade, but the military department did so anyway.

This shows that the military department has thought of countermeasures against Xia Huilong.

As soldiers, of course they unconditionally trust the military's judgment, but as the battle passes by, everyone can feel that under the baptism of spells, Xia Huilong's magical response is constantly improving.

It is rapidly recharging and returning to its enhanced state.

So how to deal with the enemy now?

"Captain!"

Seeing that the duration of the high-level spell was about to end, Julius remembered the special arrows assigned to him before the war, and couldn't help but said, "Should we-"

"Wait a minute!" Ryan said solemnly, "White Raven's support is coming."

"White Raven..." Julius was stunned for a moment and said that he had not seen her since the beginning of this battle.

With her ambiguous relationship with the military, it was impossible for her to be absent from this battle, but he raised his head and looked around, but could not find any sign of the white raven.

The White Raven exists independently of the military. The military only told them the tasks they should complete and revealed that they would provide support in the future.

But no one except the commander knows exactly how to support them.

He was wondering when the white raven would appear. At this moment, a silver line suddenly divided his vision into two.

The slanted silver line appeared from a very far away place and came to his eyes almost instantly. It immediately cut through the elemental turbulence caused by high-level spells and plunged into the glazed wings of Xia Huilong.

Wait, Silver Thread?

No, this is...

What is the flight path of something!

Julius's eyes widened. Originally, Xia Huilong converged its wings and wrapped itself in a cocoon-like glazed shield. Even though high-level spells were raging outside, it remained motionless.

But now, when this silver thread fell on Xia Huilong like a meteor, the cocoon like a copper wall and an iron wall broke easily.

The glazed shield was shattered instantly, the silver thread drove straight in, and then bright dragon blood tumbled out from the hole!

"Soon-"

"boom!"

The next moment, the scream of the silver thread tearing the air and the sound of hitting an object came belatedly. At the same time, there was the mournful cry of Xia Huilong.

"Roar--"

It was directly knocked to the ground by a sudden and powerful force. A hole was pierced through the glazed left wing like a rag, and a large amount of blood spurted out from the hole!

"This, this is..."

Everything happened so fast that Julius was stunned. Xia Huilong, who had been unable to do anything despite everyone's concerted efforts, was hit hard in an instant.

How can this be? What kind of magic is this!

"The support is coming, let's take action, use the special arrows to shoot!"

A flash of light flashed in Ryan's eyes. He no longer hid the strength of his eighth-level knight. He stamped his feet on the ground, pulled out his knight sword and galloped towards Xia Huilong.

Xiahuilong neighed, and after smelling the breath of death, a look of fear finally appeared in its eyes, and it struggled to get up and escape.

The left wing was so badly damaged that it could no longer even fly.

Here, the knights bent their bows and arrows, and fired continuously at Xia Huilong who was trying to escape.

Xia Huilong urged his magic power to converge the lightning field and formed a dense lightning net behind him, trying to intercept the arrows flying towards it.

If it were an ordinary standard arrow, it would be shot down and intercepted due to the interference of the power grid, but this is a special arrow made of magic-breaking silver iron!

The Demon-Breaking Silver Iron drove away the surrounding electric elements, opened a hole in the surface of the power grid with almost no pause, and shot into Xia Huilong's body.

The sharp arrow tip penetrated its back armor and sank into it. Xiahuilong stumbled to the ground.

After suffering continuous trauma, it could no longer maintain the spell, and the lightning strikes and the power grid across the sky also dissipated.

"Death!"

Ryan jumped up high, and the knight sword in his hand burst out with bright light, stabbing Xia Huilong's head from top to bottom.

"Roar!"

When it was about to die, Xia Huilong's bloody nature was also aroused, and its crown lit up with cyan light, trying to form a thunder god's sword to die with Ryan.

But it underestimated Ryan's strength and overestimated his own condition.

Before the Thor Sword took shape, Ryan thrust out the sword. The sharp blade pierced its skull and reached the hilt. The frantic magic attached to the sword instantly twisted its head into pieces.

The green light on the crown quickly dissipated, and Xia Huilong finally stopped struggling and fell to the ground without moving.

Ryan stepped on Xia Huilong's head, pulled out the bloody knight's sword, and raised it high: "Xia Huilong has been defeated, we won!"

Won!

Seeing this scene, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed their tense nerves.

Julius sat down on the ground without any image, breathing heavily.

The pressure Xia Huilong put on them just now was really too much.

"Well, what I said is right."

Agathe came over and stretched out his hand towards him, "I said this special arrow could target Xia Huilong, and it is true."

The last power grid defense set up by Xia Huilong was ineffective in the face of their rain of arrows, which became the last straw that broke it.

"I don't think this has anything to do with us."

Julius rested for a while, then used his strength to stand up and said, "The blow just now was done by White Raven. Without her attack, we would not have been able to keep Xia Huilong alone."

If it hadn't been for that sudden blow that severely damaged Xia Huilong and instantly reversed the situation, the battle would never have ended so quickly.

"Yeah, that blow was really amazing."

Recalling the meteor-like silver line, Agathe also sighed with emotion, "This looks like an attack launched from a far away place. I don't know how the white raven did it?

"But think about it, why bother with this? The white raven itself is an incredible existence, haha... I am really glad that she is our companion."

As he spoke, a green signal flare rose.

This is a symbol of the successful conclusion of the battle. Support troops will arrive here soon, seal off the scene and carry Xia Huilong's body back.

While waiting for the return journey, Julius walked to the body of Xia Huilong. When he saw the injuries on its body clearly, his pupils could not help but shrink slightly.

"Is this... a steel nail?"

The cause of Xia Huilong's death was indeed the sword that Ryan stabbed at its head, but it also had a tragic wound on its chest. The body of the silver thread was a steel nail with a tail. Not only did it pass through the frantic high-level spell storm outside, it pierced the glazed wings of Xia Huilong, and even the scales on its chest were also destroyed. penetrate.

After penetrating all the defenses, the steel nail finally sank into its body, mincing a large area of ​​organs, flesh and blood near the wound.

This was also a near-fatal wound. It was due to this blow that Xia Huilong lost most of its ability to resist, and was quickly killed by the violent Ryan with a sword.

Recalling the direction from which the steel nails came, Julius looked at a mountain in the distance, which was a full two kilometers away from here.

With such a fast speed and such a long distance, it's no wonder that Xia Huilong didn't react at all.

Perhaps, this is the secret weapon that the General Staff Officer spent more than ten days preparing.

But thinking about it this way, the doubts in his heart became even more.

How can this steel nail, which is many times larger than the caliber of ordinary arrows, accurately shoot at a target two kilometers away?

Where does the power that drives it to fly at high speed come from?

Julius frowned in thought, then shook his head, smiled, and turned to leave.

Whether it's the White Raven or the General Staff Officer,

These geniuses really did not disappoint him.

……

"Alchemy, isn't it magical?"

Witnessing the whole process of the steel nail hitting and Ryan killing Xia Huilong through Yuna's perspective, Nolen also breathed a sigh of relief, which proved that his research during this period was not in vain.

This special ammunition was made by referring to the structure of a previous artillery shell. Its name is a fin-stabilized discarding sabot armor-piercing projectile.

The surface of the steel nail is wrapped by a layer of bullet holders, which plays the role of filling gunpowder and ensuring the air tightness in the barrel.

When the cannonball is fired, the bullet holder will fall off, revealing the steel nail body made of magic-breaking silver iron inside.

The steel spike also has a tail structure, which helps it maintain ballistic stability during long-distance flight.

It was this special steel nail shot from two kilometers away that sealed the battle. Of course, in order to do this, in addition to the performance of the equipment itself, the quality of the sniper itself was also crucial.

wisps of white smoke drifted from the mouth of the gun barrel. Yuna lowered the smoothbore sniper-type magic cannon "Gangnir" in her hand and slowly exhaled:

"Confirm that the target has been hit, and confirm that the target has been eliminated."

"Yeah." Nolen nodded and said, "A very beautiful shot... You are indeed special."

Besides Yuna, who else could master the sniper skills of accurately hitting a target from two kilometers away in just half a day of training?

Even if she were replaced by an eighth-level powerhouse like Ryan, she might not be able to do better than her. Cultivation talent and combat talent are two different things.

Hearing Nolen's compliment, Yuna pursed her lips slightly.

At the beginning, she promised Nolen that she could snipe the target two kilometers away. Although she had confidence in herself, she did have other expectations in her heart.

Five hundred meters? One thousand meters? With such a powerful alchemical weapon, anyone can do this.

But if anyone can do it, anyone can become a white raven, then why is my existence necessary?

I have to be the special one.

No matter it's that special white raven in everyone's eyes.

She is still the special maid in Nolen's heart.

To this end, I will do my best just to become an existence worthy of you one day.

And the words “you are special”.

This is the best compliment you can give me for my efforts.

……

Afterwards, Nolen rushed to the scene of the battle with the support troops and met with the punitive team.

"Yes, cut the glazed armor on the wings and the magic bag on the abdomen. These must be preserved."

He directed the logistics to handle Xia Huilong's body. Looking at the hole in its left wing that had been shot by steel nails, he couldn't help but show pain on his face.

Fortunately, the glazed armor on the right wing is relatively intact, and it is enough material to make a shield.

"Nolen."

Ryan came over and said hello to him, his eyes glancing at a maid following him without revealing anything.

After returning to meet Noren, Yuna took off her combat uniform and Valkyrie equipment and stood next to him dressed as a maid.

Behind Ryan were Julius, Agathe and other knights, but none of them expected that the white raven they had just admired was standing silently in front of them.

"The difficult monster has finally been dealt with."

Nolen and Ryan walked to the cave next to each other, "The main event is about to come...let me see what is hidden inside."

The cave is about three meters wide and two meters high, and the passage inside is almost vertical downwards.

A person of this size can get in, but Xiahuilong cannot, so during this period it just stayed near the cave and did nothing else.

At Ryan's signal, a light mage cast a spell to summon a ball of light. The ball slowly sank into the cave and dropped more than ten meters before reaching the bottom.

To be precise, it is not that we have reached the bottom, but that the passage has turned. From the angle above, we cannot see the situation of the passage behind it.

Of course, the military department had also prepared for this situation. A high-level knight quickly put on the reconnaissance tools and prepared to go down to the cave to conduct human reconnaissance.

There is a night lamp installed on his helmet, which provides the main lighting when descending into the cave.

At the same time, there are light strips tied to the body. These light strips are filled with special alchemical liquid, which can emit long-lasting fluorescence after shaking and mixing.

In addition to the basic protective clothing covering his entire body, there is also a rope connected to his waist. If there is an accident, people outside the cave can also use this rope to pull him up quickly.

After getting ready, the investigators descended into the cave and soon lost track at the turning point of the passage.

Then after a while, there was suddenly a faint sound of metal clashing of swords in the cave!

Everyone present suddenly tightened their expressions, and Nolen said solemnly: "It must have been an encounter with the crystal giant scorpion."

However, with the strength of the high-level knights of the investigators, these crystal giant scorpions should not be his enemies.

Sure enough, there was no obvious movement from the rope tied to his body.

As time passed by, the long rope continued to extend downwards, and soon stretched out to a length of a hundred meters.

Suddenly, the other end was pulled violently twice, which was a signal for the people below to return, and the rope immediately began to tighten outside the cave.

With everyone's eager anticipation, the investigator quickly climbed out of the cave, and returned safely without any danger.

"What did you find out?" Ryan looked at him with bright eyes.

"Report to the leader." The investigators reported, "As predicted before, there is indeed a vein of magic crystal raw ore underneath.

"It's just...this mineral vein seems to be different from the usual situation."
