Opening a fantasy anime world with the style of Mount & Blade

Page 40

Aside from his somewhat eccentric personality, Eleanor is also an upright knight who adheres strictly to chivalry.

As for Niza, well, as Elaine said, he's basically a scumbag. His backstory also tells us that his favorite thing is to experience the fun of being a traitor and to recite a few doggerel poems.

"By the way, how did you get here? And with so many Vaegir archers!"

Liu Tianyu skipped over that topic and turned his attention to the perfectly aligned Vaegir archers behind Elena.

"Ah, it is so, my kind lord, I used to lead people hunting in the snowfields."

Suddenly I heard a voice saying that I had arrived in another world and that I should quickly pack my bags and lead the best troops to aid me. Then it gave me a time limit.

I don't know why I chose to listen to this voice, but I quickly returned to Kulau and gathered all the Vaegir archers.

Soon after, a flash of white light revealed me in this stinking sewer, and then I found you surrounded by monsters!

It's a pity there wasn't enough time; otherwise, I would definitely go to Kudan City and gather the Vikja archers there to provide you with a powerful boost!

Elaine explained in detail the reason for her time travel.

After hearing what Eleanor said, Liu Tianyu's eyes flickered. This was truly an unexpected delight!

I originally thought the system summoned a lone figure like in the game, but it turned out to be the NPC who was the boss I had defeated in the save file, and he even brought top-tier troops with him!

"I never expected this! System, you actually have this human-like feature! By the way, why can't I see Eleanor and the Vigia Archer in the troop interface?"

[Eleanor is a lord, not a hero. If you wish to inquire, you can directly ask Eleanor.]

[Please note that Eleanor currently has no fiefdom. Please grant him one as soon as possible; otherwise, Eleanor's army's wages will be transferred to you!]

Upon hearing the system's words, Liu Tianyu clicked his tongue. He hadn't expected the system to have sensed his thoughts. He did indeed have the idea of ​​getting the Vayne Archer for free, but the system's words instantly shattered his fantasy, leaving him feeling uncomfortable.

"By the way, wasn't the battle over? Why haven't you started tallying the results yet!"

While Liu Tianyu was pondering how to allocate territory from Storm Territory to Eleanor, he asked the system for advice.

[Ding! The battle is not over yet!]

Upon hearing the system's words, alarm bells rang instantly in Liu Tianyu's mind.

"Boom!"

Just then, a loud noise came from the sewage pool, instantly attracting everyone's attention!

The author says:

Author's note: I'm sorry, dear readers, please wait a bit. I will definitely resume double updates in March. The main reason is that I'm still adjusting to work after returning to the office. Not to mention that the dormitory and office buildings are going to be demolished in the next two days, and I need to move. So, I'm sorry!

Chapter 53 The Mad Swamp Dragon (Thanks to Gray Knight for the 1000 Cute Coins reward!)

"Swamp Dragon!!!"

Upon seeing the enormous, ship-like monster that suddenly appeared before him, Liu Tianyu instantly understood what the three orc warlocks meant by the giant crocodile.

That's the swamp dragon that the Sword Saintess kept in the waterways of the Water City's underground ruins!

Isn't this guy a guardian of order serving the supreme god? What does it want to do by suddenly jumping out like this?

Just as Liu Tianyu was filled with questions, he suddenly saw the evil green light flashing in the swamp dragon's two eyes, which were as big as light bulbs!

"Holy crap! Brother Nuo, are you serious?"

Liu Tianyu instantly understood that Brother Nuo hadn't really run away; he had gone to get reinforcements!

I never expected that he would actually corrupt the swamp dragon with fel energy. This is simply unbelievable!

This thing is an apostle of the Sword Maiden! Although I'm not quite sure what special abilities it has, it must have some kind of magic resistance, right? Or is it that fel energy has higher priority and bypasses its magic resistance?

"Wait a minute, something's not right!"

But soon, Liu Tianyu's eyes flickered.

"bang bang bang"

The swamp dragon did not pounce directly at Liu Tianyu and the others when it appeared. Instead, it used its huge body to frantically crash into the surrounding ruins.

Each impact turned the surrounding stone walls into ruins, even those mixed with mithril and radiant gold were reduced to rubble.

"It didn't come directly at us? Instead, it's rampaging around? Could it be that Nogo's fel energy hasn't completely controlled it? But there's fel energy flowing in its eyes! Wait, that's..."

Seeing the swamp dragon in a berserk state, charging around like a wild boar, Liu Tianyu couldn't help but observe it closely again. Soon, he discovered that there was a severed arm inside the swamp dragon's gaping maw!

"That's right, good heavens, no doubt about it, it must be Norgo's, goblin arms aren't that thick!"

The case is solved. After escaping, this guy wanted to control the Swamp Dragon to seek revenge on me.

"We only managed to control it halfway before the swamp dragon went berserk and ate it for dinner, causing the fel-corrupted dragon to go into a frenzy!"

After clearly seeing the severed arm in the swamp dragon's mouth, Liu Tianyu instantly deduced the cause and effect.

"Eleanor, have the Vaegir archers keep firing, aiming at that swamp dragon. The most important thing now is to stop it from moving. If it continues to go berserk like this, we'll all be buried alive!"

Although they had figured out the cause and effect, they still had to fight this swamp dragon! Otherwise, if it ran rampant like a husky that had gone off the rails, they would be the ones to suffer next!

They were either caught in the crossfire of the swamp dragons or buried alive by the ruins of collapsed sewers.

"Free Fire!"

Upon hearing Liu Tianyu's order, Eleanor didn't say anything, but simply drew his one-handed battle axe from his waist and pointed it at the wildly frolicking swamp dragon, giving the order.

“Swish, swish, swish—”

The Vaegir archers, who had already drawn their bows and nocked their arrows, simply aimed at the swamp dragon's massive body and then released the bowstring from their right hands.

"clang clang"

The best warbows on the continent of Calradia, paired with the best cone-shaped arrows, and shot by the best archers, the Vaegir Archers, are a formidable weapon that even the Swadian knights dare not take on.

However, when the cone-shaped arrows struck the swamp dragon in a graceful arc, they produced a metallic clanging sound, and some of the arrows even got caught in the gaps between the dragon's scales.

"Roar!"

The swamp dragon, which was going berserk, suddenly let out a piercing roar, its lantern-like eyes, which were flashing with a fel energy green light, staring intently in the direction where Liu Tianyu and the others were.

Even now, it can still sense the sensations emanating from the scales on its back.

Although most of the cone-shaped arrows either got stuck in its scales or bounced off after creating a shower of sparks, a few arrows still managed to break through the scales and pierce its skin, causing it a burning pain.

With a "boom," the swamp dragon plunged deep into the sewage before the second wave of arrows arrived.

"Damn it! Everyone get out of the way and don't stand in groups!"

Upon seeing the Swamp Dragon dive into the sewage, Liu Tianyu immediately gave the order, as the Swamp Dragon's attack method was exactly the same as that of a crocodile!

Crocodiles attack either by lying in wait on the mudflats or by diving into the water to launch a fatal blow!

Liu Tianyu gave the order very quickly, and everyone obeyed immediately. However, a huge, white figure still emerged from the sewage and lunged at a Vaegir archer.

The moment its gaping maw opened, the unfortunate Vigia archer's lower body was completely swallowed up, and then it slammed its maw shut!

"what!"

Soon, everyone heard a bloodcurdling scream as the unfortunate Vaegir archer was cut in half at the waist by the Swamp Dragon.

His lower body disappeared completely, leaving only his bloody and disheveled upper body.

The Vikya archer tried to struggle one more time, but having lost his lower body, he had no other option but death.

"boom"

Then it swung its huge, agile tail, sweeping away three of the nearest Vaegir archers in one go.

"Damn it! Quick, focus fire on it! Kill it or leave it!"

In the blink of an eye, the swamp dragon had killed one and injured three others. Liu Tianyu was furious and no longer cared about the swamp dragon's identity or background. He directly gave orders to everyone.

"Whoohoo-"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

No one spoke; they simply obeyed orders, throwing axes, javelins, and firing cone-shaped arrows at the swamp dragon, which had most of its body on the shore and had exposed its vulnerability.

If the Swamp Dragon has hard scales on its back for defense, then its soft, white belly is definitely its biggest weakness!

Although the swamp dragon climbed up after jumping out of the sewage, only a small part of its belly was exposed, it was more than enough for top-tier soldiers like the Nord Royal Guards and the Vaegir Archers!

"Puff puff"

Unlike the metallic clang that came from the scales on the back of the swamp dragon, this shot produced the sound of metal hitting flesh.

Whether it was javelins, throwing axes, or cone-shaped arrows, they all pierced deeply into the swamp dragon's soft belly, and drops of pale golden blood began to flow from the wounds.

"Hmm? Golden blood? That's really rare!"

Looking at the golden blood flowing from the swamp dragon's wound, Liu Tianyu couldn't help but marvel.

"Roar!"

Before he could finish marveling at it, the injured swamp dragon let out a roar several decibels louder than its initial roar.

Everyone's eardrums immediately started ringing, their heads felt like they'd been hit by a hammer, and their vision blurred as if they were seeing their great-grandmother.

"Ow!"

Just as everyone's ears were ringing and their vision was blurred by the roar.

As the party involved, the Swamp Dragon opened its gaping maw once more and, with agile speed, swung its massive body towards the two closest Vaegir archers.

"crash"

As the enormous black shadow was about to fall, a Vaegir archer who regained consciousness faster shoved his colleague aside with lightning speed, pushing him into the sewage, while he himself faced the terrifying black shadow.

"Click"

His selfless spirit was incredibly radiant, but his tragic fate of being swallowed by the swamp dragon was even more moving.

"Kill! Aim for its belly, don't let it escape into the sewage!"

Seeing that another person had been lost, Liu Tianyu raised his eyebrows sharply and gritted his teeth.

Unable to contain himself any longer, he charged straight at the Swamp Dragon, holding a long sword in one hand and a steel shield in the other.

Seeing that their leader had already charged, the remaining Nord Royal Guards quickly drew their giant axes and charged towards the Swamp Dragon.

Seemingly sensing the murderous aura coming from behind, the swamp dragon hurriedly swung its large tail, trying to sweep Liu Tianyu and the Nord royal guards into the stone wall.

But the Vikya archers, who had already recovered from their dizziness, wouldn't give it any chance.

The Vaegir archer standing towards the head of the swamp dragon nocked an arrow and aimed at its belly; the Vaegir archer standing towards its tail aimed at its large tail and fired a cone-shaped arrow.

"bang"

After being hit in the tail by more than a dozen cone-shaped arrows, the Swamp Dragon's large tail was still swinging, but the force had been reduced to the extreme. A crisp symphony rang out, and the Swamp Dragon's powerful tail was blocked!

Chapter Fifty-Four: Taking Risks

"Tap Tap"

Liu Tianyu stumbled, desperately using his left-hand shield to block the swamp dragon's massive tail, but he was still forced back several steps and nearly slammed against the stone wall, though he managed to hold on with difficulty.

"That was really powerful! I almost got slammed against the wall. Damn it, I need to unlock the Extraordinary MOD as soon as possible when facing this kind of extraordinary enemy. Otherwise, I'll either feel helpless and powerless or end up killing people with sheer numbers!"

Looking at the wall so close to him, Liu Tianyu made a firm decision in his heart.

"Quick! Protect the adults!"

Just as Liu Tianyu was losing the battle with the swamp dragon's tail, the Nord Royal Guards behind him pounced on him.

The fierce Nord royal guards roared the Nord war cries as they swung their 1.3-meter-long giant axes at the swamp dragon's tail!

A broken tail and broken horns—that's a man's romance!

This swamp dragon certainly didn't have horns, but its huge tail was truly captivating to men. Therefore, the remaining Nord royal guards all raised their giant axes and chopped at the enormous tail.

Firstly, to save Liu Tianyu from being embedded in the wall, and secondly, to fulfill a man's romantic wish!

"clang"

The clanging of metal, accompanied by sparks and a tingling sensation in the palms of their hands, resonated throughout the bodies of the Nord Royal Guards.

The massive axe cleaved the swamp dragon's tail, and the powerful recoil made the Nord royal guards gasp, forcing them, clad in chainmail boots, to stumble back several steps.

"bang bang bang"

The Nord Royal Guards were forced back several steps by the strong recoil, but the Swamp Dragon, the beast involved, was in excruciating pain.
