Lord Harland
Chapter 343 Capturing the Flying Dragon
After killing Pilatus, Sylph handed over the loot left by Pilatus.
Although the Dragon Blood Mirror is of no use to the Harland family, it can be exchanged for legendary items with the Jonathan family.
This battle was a brilliant victory. The Harland Territory only suffered less than thirty casualties, but ten times the number of dragon-veined kobolds were wiped out, and tens of thousands of ordinary kobolds were also smoked to death.
Even the Dragon Vein Kobold Tribe’s treasures that had been treasured for many years also fell into the hands of Lord Harland.
Apart from the dragon-blood mirror, the most precious thing is the kobold tribe's locker. According to the level of magic props, this is a ninth-level magic item.
The locker has a total of 82 cubic meters of space and is divided into three floors. It is filled with a large amount of materials, including precious magic ores, magic plants, and dozens of strange porcelain bottles.
The porcelain bottle is filled with a special medicine. After identification by Richard and others, it should be a medicine for purifying dragon blood. This medicine can only be reserved for dragon descendants.
In addition, there is also part of the kobold magic inheritance in the locker.
Kobolds have a special language, but the script they use is the official script of the Orc Empire. As an important force in the Dawn Plane, the Orc Empire's writing spreads very widely.
There are many slaves rescued from the Orc Empire in the Harland territory. These people have mastered the language and writing of the Orc Empire. Through contact with these slaves who have lived in the Orc Empire for many years, Richard has become very proficient in the official language and writing of the Orc Empire.
Richard could understand the content written in the official language of the Orc Empire without the need for translation.
Although the magic inherited by the kobolds is not very good, it is also a supplement to the Harland Territory Mage Association, especially some spells in the dark realm, which make up for the shortcomings of the Harland Territory's magic inheritance and enhance the territory's magical heritage. Especially for mages who are aspiring to become legends, it can broaden their horizons.
This locker has a very large space, and the supplies stored by the kobolds only use less than one-third of the space.
The only drawback of this magic prop is that it is a bit heavy. After detailed calculations, the magic locker is 1.6 meters high, one meter long, and about 60 centimeters wide. The material of the locker is similar to a special stone material. It's not only smooth but also a little cold. The most important thing is that the locker weighs 3,300 kilograms.
It would be difficult for even an ordinary carriage to pull such a heavy prop, and it would take at least two sixth-level warriors to barely move it.
Especially in the jungle, there are no ready-made props, and it is even more difficult to move a heavy magic locker.
Ordinary small forces can only discard this storage item even if they seize it, because it will seriously affect the marching speed. However, it is not a problem to put it in the Harland Territory, because there are already many mid-level professionals in the Harland Territory. These men are strong men and can take turns carrying lockers while marching.
After cleaning the cave, Richard carefully observed the nearby terrain and found that the cave was actually a natural fortress, which was very suitable for resisting foreign invasion.
The failure of the kobolds was due to negligence, and was actually due to their inferiority.
However, this cave is about 100 kilometers away from the Bolton Viscounty and about 230 kilometers away from the Double Star Castle, the nearest supply base in the Harland Territory.
If you want to occupy this place, it will be difficult to supply supplies along the way.
More than 200 kilometers deep into the mountainous jungle, there are no ready-made roads along the way. The transportation of materials will become a very big problem. Unless the power of the higher-ups in the territory is mobilized to use the bottle of starlight and the legendary space bag to transport materials, otherwise even if we control this After establishing a stronghold, the troops eventually had to withdraw due to supply problems.
Richard and his men had just finished cleaning the battlefield and were about to withdraw their troops when they saw a group of bipedal flying dragons flying in the sky from a distance.
Seeing this scene, even though Richard had expected it, he was still a little surprised. He never expected that the wyverns in this area would be so large. Counting the underage wyverns, the number was over sixty. .
The regular establishment of the bipedal flying dragon cavalry of the Holy Glory Empire is only 180 people. Including the magical beasts cultivated in the rear breeding base, the total number is only about 300.
This bipedal flying dragon under the command of the legendary black dragon is already equivalent to one-fifth of the level of the Holy Radiance Empire.
"Hurry up and spread out. Don't get too close. Be careful of the dragon's flame breath."
The backbone of the Harland leader had experience fighting against the flying dragons. When they saw this scene, they immediately ordered their troops loudly.
The archers in the territory also quickly unfurled their bows and nocked arrows, aiming in the air.
Seeing that the flying dragon was about to launch a dive, hundreds of arrows suddenly pierced the sky. A dozen arrows followed the arc, as if they could automatically correct their trajectory, and accurately hit the flying dragon.
These dozen arrows are all made of high-grade enchanted arrows, which can easily penetrate the sub-dragon skin on the flying dragon, and can severely damage the enemy in an instant.
Wyverns are big guys with rough skin and thick flesh. Even if they are hit by an enchanted arrow, it will not be fatal as long as it is not hit by a heavy arrow on the head.
Wanting to hit the head of a wyvern is a great test of the archer's ability, because the wyvern's head is very flexible and can move left and right to dodge arrows, and it can spit out breath to burn the arrows.
Richard and other five sharp archers only teamed up to kill one bipedal flying dragon.
Several bipedal flying dragons were hit by arrows and let out shrill screams. At the same time, the two-legged flying dragon also swooped down, spitting out streams of dragon flames from its mouth, and landed on the heads of Harland's army like an aerial bomb.
Seeing this terrifying scene, Richard hurriedly released the advanced defensive force field and put up a protective shield to protect the officers and soldiers around him.
At the same time, two high-level mages, Sophia and Undine, also released high-level defensive force fields. The three defensive force fields were superimposed, blocking several dragon flame breaths and protecting dozens of officers and soldiers.
The officers and soldiers who are far away from Richard and others can only ask for their own blessings at this moment. Most of the officers and soldiers can only rely on low-level force field shields to resist. If they are in the center of the dragon flame breath spell, there is a high probability that Will lose his life.
Magicians have more coping methods. Not only can they release defensive force fields to protect themselves, but they can also use spells such as lightness, freedom of movement, and oil on the soles of their feet to speed up movement, avoid the attack of dragon flame breath, and improve their survivability on the battlefield. Far superior to soldiers of the same level.
In Richard's sight, no mage was found dead.
Seeing the two-legged flying dragon launch a dive, the soldiers began to throw javelins and throw flying claws while avoiding the dragon's flame breath. The magicians who cooperated with the soldiers also took action. Under the command of the officer, they released the spider web technique to restrict the feet. Feilong's actions.
Although a round of dragon flame breath was like a bombing, causing Harland's army to lose forty or fifty people, it did not destroy the confidence of this elite soldier. Under the command of grassroots officers, they still launched a counterattack in an orderly manner.
Richard drew his bow and arrow, aiming at the vital points of the flying dragon, and began to release the sixth-level magic group medical technique to treat nearby soldiers who were burned by the dragon's breath.
Magicians in the Dawn Plane do not need to recite incantations loudly to cast spells, but some spells require the use of casting materials. The magic network in this plane is not controlled by the gods, and the spells released by the magician are not restricted by spell slots. The only thing that restricts the magician is his own magic power. As long as the magic power is not exhausted, the mages can release the spells they master at will.
Richard's magic power is very powerful. Although he fought a war with the kobolds in the morning and released many spells, his magic power was only consumed by one-third.
The group medical technique can treat twelve wounded soldiers at one time, which is equivalent to releasing a minor injury treatment spell on twelve wounded soldiers. According to the data on the attribute panel, it can roughly increase the vitality by thirty points, which can save the lives of some wounded soldiers.
After Richard released the healing spell, the medical soldiers accompanying the army quickly moved into action, applying burn ointment to the wounded soldiers and injecting anti-infective drugs.
Through various experiments, Harland led an antibacterial agent with outstanding effects extracted from chemical dyes, and has been put into large-scale human trials.
The effect of this new medicine is very outstanding, the output is not very large, and it can be used in a variety of ways, including infusion, intramuscular injection, and oral tablets.
This time, the field hospital in the battle area did not come with us. The only medical soldiers accompanying the army were unable to infuse fluids on the battlefield and could only give injections to the soldiers.
Because of the development of industry, especially the extensive use of steam engines, the level of Harland's mechanical industry has been greatly promoted. A large number of mechanical lathes were invented and used to manufacture various industrial products.
In just a few years, Harland's productivity has increased rapidly, and the products produced are much more sophisticated than before.
The needles produced today are smaller and sharper, and the glass needle tubes look a bit more refined. A large number of syringes are produced and distributed to medical soldiers.
Although the cost of these glass syringes is still very high and requires skilled craftsmen to polish them, the fact that they can produce this new product is enough to show that Harland's industrial level has begun to significantly improve.
According to Richard's estimation, Harland's industry should have reached the level of Britain and France in the 1820s and 1930s.
Science and magical power have allowed the territory's medical power to develop by leaps and bounds. Every time the Harland Territory fights, it can save a large number of wounded soldiers.
A large number of these wounded soldiers can recover and return to the army. With the recovery of wounded soldiers with combat experience, it can not only increase the morale of the troops, but also greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the troops.
Harland led the army from weak to strong, and the army became more powerful as it fought. Excellent medical support was a very important reason.
The medical soldiers were very busy on the battlefield, and their responses were very sensitive. They continuously carried the injured soldiers back to the kobold cave and transformed the cave into a simple field hospital.
Seeing this scene, Richard finally let go of his worries. Despite being distracted, Richard's arrows were still very accurate. The arrow easily penetrated the wyvern's skin and entered its head from under its ears.
In an instant, Richard seized the opportunity and shot a bipedal flying dragon.
The bipedal flying dragon swooped past, and after just one charge, more than a dozen of them fell to the ground. There were only over sixty flying dragons in total, and a quarter of them were lost in battle.
Among the dozen or so bipedal flying dragons, six of them had been killed by officers and soldiers led by Harland, and the remaining nine were seriously injured and fell into siege.
Wyverns are intelligent creatures after all. Although they are very cruel and ferocious in nature, they still retain the instinct of fear of death that intelligent creatures have.
Seeing the staggering casualties, the flying dragon had already made plans to retreat.
But they couldn't ignore the members who were besieged by the Harland Territory, so they had to launch another dive.
Seeing that another round of dragon flame breath was about to fall, and the casualties would inevitably increase, Richard felt a little unbearable.
Fire dragons once again swept across the ground, and the intact soldiers once again threw flying claw javelins and opened fishing nets to restrict the movement of the flying dragons.
Although the dragonborn's spells are not as many as those of the magician, they are very powerful and are particularly useful on the battlefield.
In the war against the dragon-veined kobolds, Harland's army only suffered casualties of about thirty soldiers, but in two rounds of fighting with the flying dragons, the casualties exceeded eighty.
The elite troops led by Richard, with a total number of just over 400, have now suffered over 100 casualties, with the casualty rate approaching 30%. If it were an ordinary army with such heavy casualties, it would have already lost its combat effectiveness and fallen into disintegration.
But the army led by Harland was still in a bitter battle with the flying dragon.
In the second round of dive, the wyverns suffered heavy casualties as well. Four wyverns were killed by high-level human professionals, and seven wyverns were pulled down by the soldiers and could not take off at all.
After two dives, the number of wyverns was reduced by almost half. Seeing this scene, the leading female wyvern let out a high-pitched neigh and immediately changed direction and flew into the mountains.
Although the remaining flying dragons were reluctant to give up their companions, they also did not dare to continue diving. They could only reluctantly follow the leader and return to the lair.
Sixteen flying dragons fell to the ground, no match for Harland's army. Four flying dragons were quickly killed and twelve flying dragons were captured alive.
Seeing that some of the flying dragons were still unruly, Richard did not have time to tame the flying dragons now, so he could only kill the flying dragons with explosive tempers, leaving only four flying dragons with relatively docile personalities.
Richard asked a courageous medical soldier to heal the wounds and stop the bleeding of the four-headed bipedal dragon captured. At the same time, he ordered Zhannings to lead people to clean the battlefield and count the wounded soldiers.
"Zhannings, how many casualties did we have in this battle?"
After Zhannings finished cleaning the battlefield, he replied in great detail: "Dear Duke, so far we have killed thirty-seven officers and soldiers, and the total number of injured is ninety-one. Some of them are seriously injured. They should be killed in the future." Of those who died within two or three days, it is estimated that no more than eighty people can be saved. Among them, it is estimated that forty or fifty people can return to the army."
Hearing that the casualties were so high, Richard said solemnly: "The casualties exceed 30%, and some soldiers have to be left to defend the wounded. It is too risky to continue the attack. I think we should rest here for a while, and then The rear will continue to deploy some troops and wait more than ten days to continue the attack."
After this battle, Harland's army already had many wounded soldiers. It was difficult for these wounded soldiers to move and keep up with the team, so they could only rest in the kobold cave recently.
