I'm not that kind of orc

"Student Bullock, are you going to get rid of those two ends as well?" I supported Princess Alyssa to look at the two lightning sculptures in the distance, and lightly plucked the bowstring in my hand, as if Maintain feel.

I suddenly noticed that Princess Alisa's voice was a bit cold.

"Uh...Your Highness, are you alright?" Hearing her voice that was completely different from usual, I suddenly felt a little trembling for no reason.

"It's okay, why do you ask that?" She turned her head to look at me slightly, and her tone returned to normal.

"..." I couldn't answer.

I'm sure I wasn't hallucinating just now.

Once again, I realized at the bottom of my heart that Princess Alisa, when really angry, can be very scary.

I do have the intention of chasing the other two Thunder Eagles, but I am not going to attack rashly.Although it was relatively easy to solve the laser carving just now, it is largely because we seized the opportunity.It would undoubtedly be extremely dangerous for us if the remaining two Thunder Eagles united to besiege us, or if the corpse dragon rushed towards me recklessly.

But at this moment when I was observing the timing, the other side made an unusual move - the corpse dragon, which had been trying to avoid the queen's attack, suddenly began to climb up quickly, as if it was trying to escape the magic barrier and hide in the clouds , and the remaining two lightning sculptures also rose up with the corpse dragon.

"Here they are, are they going to withdraw?" Princess Alisa said, looking over there in surprise.

At first glance, there is indeed a feeling of retreating because you can't beat it, but I don't think things are that simple.In my inference, Azak should be planning some kind of counterattack before he placed the Thunder Sculpture around, but just now, the corpse dragon has been fighting the Queen alone, and he didn't show enough initiative in attacking. only unilaterally suppressed.

But now that the corpse dragon suddenly changes its actions, I think it is more likely that the opponent is going to use that long-planned counterattack.We rode into the sky on the beast soul and killed a Thunder Eagle. This undoubtedly made the opponent feel a little sense of crisis, so we had to do it in advance at this time.

The queen didn't let the corpse dragon go, she flapped her wings and followed closely behind, but in my eyes, there was a feeling of being induced.

And I also began to manipulate the height of the beast soul, and approached there.

They passed through the great magical barrier that the elves used to guard the palace without being hindered.

"Is it okay for us to rush over?" I asked Princess Alyssa first.

"It doesn't matter. In order to facilitate the counterattack from the inside out, the blocking effect of the protective barrier is only one-way." Princess Alisa replied loudly.

I also manipulated the beast soul to rush out of the barrier and rise towards the thick dark clouds covering the sky.

The other side was planning a counterattack—the closer I got, the more convinced I was of that.

The empress is certainly powerful, so powerful that I am afraid that there are not many existences in this world who can compare with her.

But this does not mean that she is absolutely invincible. If she is strong, she will not lose, so the Demon King would not have been killed in the abyss war decades ago.

Having fought the queen, I know very well that because the queen is so strong, she will inevitably have a natural contempt for the enemy.This kind of contempt is not a subjective underestimation of the enemy, but a very natural state of mind, even if she knows something about it, it may not be able to eliminate it.It's like when I crush an ant myself, no matter what, I can't make my mind as serious as participating in a life-and-death duel.

This kind of mentality may leave the opponent with a [-]% chance of winning.

If the one riding on the back of the corpse dragon is really the legendary hero Azak as Roland speculates, I believe he will never let go of that [-]% chance of winning.

And I want to completely eliminate that possibility, not to mention one percent, not even a one in ten thousand chance to the opponent.

"Your Highness!" I called out in a low voice.

"What do you want me to do?" Princess Alisa noticed that I seemed to have something on my mind.

"Can you hit the man on that gray dragon?" I asked.

As long as Azak, who is the command tower, is eliminated...

"No, he's obviously guarding this side." Princess Alisa pointed the bow in front of her and glanced over there. "The trajectory of that dragon's flight is a bit unpredictable."

The flying trajectory of the corpse dragon is still very unusual. It climbs up in a meandering way like a poisonous snake crawling on the ground. Not only that, the distance between the two lightning sculptures and it also suddenly shortened after flying out of the barrier. Surrounding the body of the corpse dragon, there is a great momentum to use the body to block the knife for the corpse dragon.

For safety reasons, we can't get too close. It seems unrealistic to attack Azak while he is still riding on the back of a corpse dragon.

Then you can only find out his means first, and then stop him when he does it.

But what would he do?If I were him, what means would I use to find an opportunity to fight back in this situation?

I don't have a clue, and I really can't figure it out.

No, reverse thinking should be used here to deduce, not from the process, but from the result.

When hunting new prey, the first thing to study should not be how to dig traps or which props to prepare, but to figure out what methods to use to effectively kill the target. If the prey is to be killed with a sharp weapon, it must be prepared. If the prey is suitable for drowning with water, it is necessary to find a way to lure the prey to the vicinity of the river. Like this, the last step is reversed to lay out the overall picture of the plan.

In the same way, no matter what means the other party is going to use, if they want to inflict fatal injuries on the queen in the end, they can only rely on that magic sword.

Moreover, with the length of that magic sword, it is absolutely impossible to pierce the heart of the queen's magnificent body.The most effective attack position...

"Your Highness, aim at the back of the dragon's head and neck." I reminded Princess Alyssa.

"Understood." Princess Alyssa didn't bother to ask more, just took the arrow and bow and started aiming.

"No, not the gray dragon." I corrected her. "It's white."

"Huh?" Princess Alisa was stunned.

skirmish battle (2)

"Student Bullock, that's a friendly army." Alisa turned her head to remind me with her eyes wide open.

"Of course I know, listen to me, I told you to aim there because I judged that the person riding on the back of the corpse dragon would use his own sword to attack there. They are rushing into the dark clouds now, they should be preparing to use What method is there to achieve this goal, so after they rush in, you should stare at the back of the white dragon's neck." I lowered my voice and explained to her, "It doesn't matter, anyway, your arrows can't hurt her."

"I see." Princess Alisa believed my judgment unconditionally.

I can't see through the opponent's strategy for the time being, but I know very well that if he wants to come back and defeat the queen in this situation, he can only approach the queen's head with the magic sword himself, and stab the sword into the brainstem from there, or stab the neck of the cervical spine Joint joints - this is also a technique for us orcs to hunt giant beasts.No matter what process he is planning to use to achieve this goal, only the final result will not be wrong, because he can only win in this way!

I controlled the beast spirits to rise with them, keeping a vigilant distance.

Princess Alyssa tried to pull the arrow to aim and shot an arrow, and successfully shot a Thunder Eagle in the eye, causing it to fall from the climbing team.

But she didn't have a chance to shoot down the other Thunder Eagle. The corpse dragon and the remaining Thunder Eagle around it had risen to the lower side of the dark clouds at this moment, and finally rushed into the dark clouds to hide their figure.

"It's now, aim." I became vigilant and lowered my voice to remind Princess Alyssa.

Princess Alisa changed the direction of the bow and arrow in her hand according to her words, pointing to the queen.

At this time, the queen roared, and opened her mouth to spit out blazing white fireballs that pierced into the thunderstorm cloud.

In an instant, the thick dark cloud was pierced by a fire bomb, and the hole expanded rapidly. The high temperature and air flow spread around the fire pillar and tore the whole black cloud apart.

The corpse dragon and Thunder Eagle who hid in the dark clouds also appeared.

At this time, I was slightly taken aback, because the corpse dragon that was fleeing with its back to the queen a second ago had turned around and swooped straight towards the queen when it appeared.

Using the dark clouds as a cover to turn around and make a surprise attack, is this his strategy?

I frowned slightly, this move is really not very shrewd, it can even be said that I feel a little bit like jumping over the wall in a hurry.

The corpse dragon opened its mouth and spewed out gray-black smoke, which was impossible to avoid at this distance.But the queen didn't show any panic because of the corpse dragon's surprise attack. Her eyes could see through the clouds. When the corpse dragon approached her, a burning high-temperature field rapidly expanded around her, surrounded by black and red light arcs. At the edge of the field, the poisonous smoke from the corpse dragon was completely blocked out.

Not only that, the expanded domain also wrapped the corpse dragon, and flames burst out from the surface of the corpse dragon's scales in an instant, and the corpse dragon, which was rushing towards the queen, slanted and lost its balance in the air.At this time, the Queen pointed at one of its heads and rewarded it with a fire bomb. In an instant, the raging flames exploded on the corpse dragon's head. The strong impact caused one of the corpse dragon's necks to be thrown away, and the two heads collided with each other. Together.

The wings of the corpse dragon froze for a moment, then suddenly turned over, and the huge body wrapped in flames fell downwards.

It was easily shot down by the queen, and the moment it was wrapped in the high-temperature field that could even ignite dragon scales, the rider on its back had been burned to the point that there was not even a scum left.

But at this moment, I suddenly noticed that the Thunder Eagle flew above the Queen from behind.

When the corpse dragon turned around and made a surprise attack just now, the only remaining lightning sculpture flew to other directions, and the empress' attention was all on the corpse dragon rushing forward. Even now, the queen is staring at the falling corpse dragon. dragon.The corpse dragon was still moving, even trying to flap its wings trying to readjust its posture and fly up during the fall, and the queen was ready to rush down and launch a chase at any time—of course, in fact, she didn't care about the need for Lei Sculpture, after all, All the eagle's attack methods can't hurt her in the slightest.

But I noticed that Thunder Eagle, so I saw it—on the back of that Thunder Eagle, a figure was riding, wearing a cloak and holding a broadsword.

He changed his mount!

At this moment, I finally understood his tactics.

After he rushed into the dark clouds, he turned the corpse dragon around. In the process, he probably changed to ride on Lei Sculpture because the body of the corpse dragon blocked his blind spot at a certain moment.Then he let the corpse dragon charge towards the queen, attracting the queen's attention and forcing her to use the most threatening moves to attack, while he moved above her with the help of the Thunder Sculpture that made the queen feel no threat.

And the one who can really pose a threat to the Queen is neither the Thunder Sculpture nor the Corpse Dragon, but him holding the magic sword!

From the Queen's point of view, the rider on Lei Condor could not be seen. At this time, Lei Condor turned over in the air, and he left Lei Condor's back and fell towards the back of the Queen's neck. Stabbing posture.

He actually did it, successfully seized this slim chance of victory with the help of strong determination and the strategy of defeating the strong with the weak - of course, this premise was that I hadn't seen through his thoughts in advance.

"Your Highness!" I yelled.

Princess Alyssa, who had been aiming with a bow and arrow for a long time, made the final fine-tuning in an instant, and then let go of the tight bowstring.Wrapped in the strong wind, the arrow flew into the distance, piercing the figure in the air.

He was knocked off balance by the impact of the arrow, and the direction of his fall was also deflected.There was a big hole in his body, but not even a drop of blood spattered out.

Just when I was glad that I successfully prevented his sneak attack, he chose to throw the magic sword in his hand towards the queen in desperation, and the flying magic sword slashed across the queen's neck from the side—although it failed. Successfully inflicted fatal wounds, but in the end, he managed to wound the Queen with the cursed sword.

This scratch made the queen finally notice the assassin who was sneaking towards her. She swirled and flapped her wings in rage, and hit Azak with her wings, knocking him into the air with great force.Then she twisted her neck and opened her mouth to spit fire bombs at Azak whose falling body had been smashed to pieces.

At this moment, the Thunder Eagle turned around and rushed over to block the middle. The fire bomb finally exploded on the body of the Thunder Eagle with its wings spread out, and the flames wrapped its body and burned it to ashes.

The magic sword that had fallen in other directions shone strangely at this moment, then suddenly changed direction in the air, flew towards the fallen Azak, and returned to his hand.

skirmish battle (3)

What happened next left me dumbfounded.

The moment the magic sword returned to Azak's hand, a strange force immediately acted on that fragmented body.The bent and twisted torso turned back in the opposite direction, and the broken limbs were also pulled back to their original positions by a gravitational force and continued to go back. Muscles and bones grew in an incredible way, and even his chest had just been cursed by the wind The hole that the arrow pierced through was also filled again.

That magic sword, "Silent Tombstone", actually repaired this body completely.

This is his hole card - the power of the "Silent Tombstone" to protect the holder. Its holder can only be a dead person, and the body can only be a corpse. It not only allows the holder to manipulate the undead, but also He was able to use his own magic power to repair the corpse that held him. When he assassinated the queen, he was killed by the queen with a claw, but he was able to revive on the spot. It was because of this power.

He is immortal because he was originally a dead man.

The magic sword repaired Azak's body and at the same time awakened the corpse dragon that was knocked down by the queen. The hollow eyes of the half-fall corpse dragon shone with evil light again, and the muscles rolled under its gray scales like waves, limp His body regained strength.It turned sharply in the air, re-spread its wings and adjusted its posture, twisted its joints forcibly as before, and changed its direction instantly.

At the same time, I felt a powerful consciousness begin to interfere with the "spirit" in the surrounding atmosphere. Before I could react, the strong wind broke out like a sea tide, hitting the body of the corpse dragon Wei'an from bottom to top.The corpse dragon let out a mournful roar, its wings fluttered like sails in the wind, it flapped its wings, and then the sudden gust of wind accelerated instantly, rushed towards the falling Azak, and caught him firmly with its back from below.

It is a shaman's spell, not only can he use the power of the magic sword, but he can also use the shaman's elemental spell that he already mastered!

After taking over the master, the corpse dragon continued to flutter its wings with the gust of wind beating its wings, and quickly climbed to a height comparable to ours, and at the same time opened a considerable distance from us.

At this time, the figure riding on the back of the corpse dragon glanced back at me.

This time I finally saw the rider's face clearly: a sharp-edged orc face with strong lines, the outline and the shape of the eyes are very similar to the face I see myself in the mirror every day-it is indeed the legend of our orcs The hero, the face of my great-grandfather Azak, the only difference is the pair of empty eyes.

An indescribable strange feeling emerged from the bottom of my heart, that face is so familiar to me, I have seen his appearance in paintings and sculptures so many times, but now I am looking at such a face, I But it felt strangely strange.I can't see any emotion in those eyes, not even a trace of the spirit that a living person should have, only endless nothingness and emptiness, like two bottomless whirlpools.

Roland's speculation was confirmed at this moment. The assassin who stabbed the queen was really Azak. He was resurrected by the enemy with the magic sword and became the master of the magic sword. At the same time, he was manipulated by the enemy.

The former orc hero has become a puppet of the enemy.

I felt my teeth clenched unconsciously.

After only looking at each other for a moment, Azak withdrew his gaze, and the corpse dragon under him continued to flap its wings and began to flee from the scene.He didn't have time to deal with me who kept hindering him, because the queen saw him riding on the back of the corpse dragon, and immediately rushed towards him with wings flapping.

But at this moment, I suddenly felt a sense of weakness emerging from the depths of my body, as if a piece of solid ice had penetrated my body, taking away most of my heat and energy.I leaned forward and almost put my weight on Princess Alisa. Fortunately, I adjusted my center of gravity in time. If I accidentally fell from such a high altitude, it would be no joke .

"Student Bullock!?" Princess Alyssa immediately noticed my strangeness, and glanced back worriedly.
