Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 255 Beheading
In this world, if there is anyone who can face the bombardment of twelve 75mm recoilless rifles without getting hurt, it may only be a top alchemist like Purficott, or a half-human person who has broken through the knight class. Only God has that possibility.

However, even so, they could not rely on physical strength to resist, but used various other methods to avoid or prevent the bombardment.

For example, when Purficott faces this situation, she can raise a defensive barrier made of diamonds, or control the airflow to deflect the trajectory of the cannonball, so that the cannonball cannot hit her.

The more powerful knights can avoid the bombardment by moving at high speed. In fact, this can be done by most knights who are agile enough.

Just like in the original world, someone can dodge bullets, but in fact what he dodges is not the bullet that has been shot out of the gun, but the shooting line. After all, as long as your reaction is faster than the shooter, you can dodge the gun. With that trajectory, dodging bullets is not impossible.

However, for a giant dragon that is more than 20 meters long, it is not that easy to dodge the cannonballs.

After all, no matter how fast it is, with such a large body here, it can't dodge one or two shots, but it can't dodge ten or twenty shots.

Under the siege of twelve steam knights, no matter how powerful the dragon was, it could not defend itself from all directions. The wounds on its body gradually increased, and it gradually became exhausted and began to fall into a disadvantage.

Although this giant dragon is not a being that is smarter than humans like the wise dragon in Purficott's impression, it is not a completely brainless beast. At least in this state of being covered in wounds, this giant dragon Already ready to escape.

In fact, this is very inconsistent with the behavior of animals, because most animals will not fight back immediately after being attacked under normal circumstances, but will choose to escape, especially wild animals. If you do not stimulate it, Under such circumstances, effective threats and attacks will make them run away.

At this time, the rotting corpses wrapped around the dragon's body had already been blown to bits by the artillery fire, not only revealing the pale and lean body of the dragon, but also opening at least a dozen bloody holes in its body. .

Of course, it may also be caused by its low IQ. After all, only the stupider the animal, the more likely it is to fight to the death when attacked. Smart animals are usually ready to escape before they are seriously injured.

If it weren't for armor-piercing bullets that emphasized penetration rather than lethality, half of this giant dragon's body would have been blown to pieces.

But this giant dragon fought back as soon as it was attacked. After that, it kept trying to fight even after it suffered a fierce attack. It didn't prepare to run until it was beaten and injured all over. This is really not very good. Common sense.

Because for animals, survival is the first factor. If they are not sure of victory or are forced to the edge of a fatal fight, animals usually will not take the initiative to fight, which will waste precious energy used for survival. .

But for this giant dragon, it's too late to escape now.

Of course, it is also possible that the high-explosive bomb has insufficient penetration to cause huge damage to the dragon's body.

But now that the dragon's body has suffered so many injuries, some steam knights who had fired armor-piercing bullets have begun to change to high-explosive bombs and continue shooting, which undoubtedly caused more serious damage to the dragon, forcing it to think To escape.

But obviously, the steam knights present could not let it escape. The dragon-slaying martial arts was something that everyone wanted, and there was no way they could watch this giant dragon escape from under their noses. Especially the direction in which it fled was the direction of Perfectcott, who was deliberately avoided by Samantha during the battle.

"Oops! Lord Earl! Everyone, go and protect Lord Earl!" Seeing the dragon flying towards the location of the bunker, Samantha ordered in a panic.

Although she has deployed defenses in that direction, it is the weakest link in the entire encirclement. Only a part of the guard soldiers are in that direction.

Originally, in Samantha's plan, she would avoid spreading the battle in that direction to protect Perfecticot. As long as she did not lead the dragon in that direction during the battle, Perfecticot would indeed not be in danger. .

Moreover, the location where Purficott is located is not facing the valley. The dragon will not flee in this direction if it wants to escape back to its lair.

So in Samantha's judgment, this position should be safe enough.

However, she didn't expect that the dragon would flee in that direction because there was no attack in that direction. Now, Purficott had to face a fleeing dragon.

You must know that animals are the most vicious at this time, because if they don't fight hard, they will really die.

It's just that although the steam knights chased the giant dragon immediately and wanted to block it, the guards soldiers were also ready to fight and wanted to use their lives and flesh and blood to stop the giant dragon. Dragon, buying time for Purficott to evacuate, but they did not play their due role.

It's not that the dragon broke through their obstacles and defenses all at once, or that their defenses were overcome, it's that the dragon died.

He was directly pierced through the chest and abdomen by a huge rock gun that rose from the ground. Like a roast chicken pierced by a barbecue fork, he was hung on the rock gun and died.

Immediately, the soil on the ground surged, and Perficott, holding a cane, came out and looked at the giant dragon hung on the rock gun.

As if to prevent the giant dragon from dying, Purficott turned the cane in his hand and quickly stabbed out multiple twigs from the rock gun, completely stabbing the giant dragon to its core. , as if someone had inserted an open umbrella rib from inside the body.

Looking at the dragon's blood flowing out, Purficott seemed to have thought about it, and activated alchemy again, opening a diversion channel on the rock gun, and then the dragon's blood that seemed to be still hot flowed along her. The diversion trough was opened and flowed down.

"Is this the legendary dragon blood? Sure enough, even if you are dead, this blood still contains rich vitality. No wonder it is said that bathing in dragon blood can make the human body stronger." Purficott collected the dragon blood. When it came to a container that she had rubbed at random, she took a drop of it and observed it with her omniscient eyes, and couldn't help but admire it.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting, all the dragon's blood spilled on the battlefield was gathered towards her under Purficott's control and put into the container in front of her.
