Chapter 454 - 248: Stone Guard and Dragon Mage Lord (Part 3)
’Is that him?’
’But... how is he so strong!’
A thought couldn’t help but arise in the Dwarf Warrior’s mind.
And soon after, he saw the silver warhammer spinning rapidly again, hitting another Blue Dragonman’s head in the same way, successfully exploding it again!
’Wow!’
This Dwarf Warrior was instantly dumbfounded by what he saw!
After observing for a long time, Raine finally made his move.
And this move resulted in consecutive head explosions!
On one hand, it was because his targets were relatively lower Challenge Level Blue Dragonmen, rather than the Level 8 Reverse Scale Dragonman or the Dragonman Captain.
On the other hand, his element of surprise caused the Hammer of Anger’s destructive power to be utilized to an extreme.
’So powerful?’
Seeing Raine kill two Level 6 Blue Dragonmen in a row, even though he had the advantage of a surprise attack, Centurion Krom couldn’t help but pay attention!
’Then... Humbert still asked me to look after him?’
’However, this is a good thing!’
On the side, Raine’s mentor Humbert also had his eyes wide open, with an expression of utter shock.
He thought Raine’s strength should be quite strong, but the problem was, he didn’t expect it to be this strong!
So strong that some of his previous actions seemed somewhat redundant!
Raine chose not to cast spells, but instead used the Hammer of Anger, partly because he considered that spell attacks might disrupt the Ironfoot Legion’s normal battle rhythm.
On the other hand, he also intended to further observe the battle situation, especially the strength of various Dragonmen levels, rather than making himself the focal point of the Dragonman Legion from the start.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Raine squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the near distance in front of him.
He saw a Blue Dragonman holding a magic staff, just over two meters tall, walking out of the Iron Ring Excavation Site.
Although this person was relatively shorter than other Dragonmen, the four Dragonman Captains serving as his guards immediately made him the center of attention on the battlefield.
"The Dragon Mage Lord has finally come out!" Centurion Krom, seeing his appearance, did not get tense, but instead showed a relieved expression.
Krom’s words caused Raine to be somewhat surprised.
But soon, Raine noticed that Centurion Krom immediately took out something resembling a flare from his chest.
In the next instant, the signal flare shot into the sky, tracing a conspicuous red meteor-like trajectory in the sky.
’Huh? Is this... Reinforcements?’ Raine immediately thought of something.
Previously, he had sensed that the strength of this Centurion Krom Stonefist, though very strong, should not be Transcendent.
He had just been wondering, if the Dragonmen side came up with a Dragon Mage Lord, or an equivalent Transcendent strong person, how would the Ironfoot Legion respond?
Now it seems that the Mountain Dwarf Kingdom also has a contingency plan.
However, this also made Raine somewhat disappointed while admiring the Dwarf’s meticulous planning, as this also meant he basically had no chance to kill the Dragon Mage Lord.
’It seems that I will have to wait for the front-line battle to end and then infiltrate the Blue Dragonman’s active area as an Adventurer to find an opportunity.’
But this was also Raine’s initial plan - first, through the battle between the Ironfoot Legion and Dragonmen, understand the combat strength levels of various Dragonmen, so as to lay the foundation for his subsequent actions.
Therefore, in Raine’s heart, it wasn’t exactly disappointment.
As Raine had guessed, merely after a dozen seconds, seven or eight armored Tabu Sheep swiftly charged into the battlefield from the left, carrying a small squad of Dwarf elites, headed straight for the Dragon Mage Lord.
"It’s Stone Guard Woron!" Humbert exclaimed.
Stone Guard?
Raine looked at the imposing Dwarf wielding a hammer and shield, riding the armored Tabu Sheep at the forefront.
The rank of Stone Guard is roughly equivalent to a Centurion in the Human Kingdom.
On the Gryphon ride here, Humbert had already introduced him: The Ironfoot Legion, if fully manned, numbers 5,000, and is one of the most elite units of the Mountain Dwarf Kingdom.
Aside from the battle legion leader, every thousand men are led by a Transcendent strong person with the rank of ’Stone Guard.’
The Dragon Mage Lord naturally saw the Dwarf-prepared surprise troop; he raised his magic staff and began chanting loudly, seeming to want to deliver a powerful lightning spell strike on the Ironfoot Legion’s formation before the Dwarf elite squad arrived.
But at this moment, the Giant Hammer Warrior’s adjutant immediately extended and stood up a device resembling a signal transmitter they carried on their back!
"Huh, it’s a lightning rod!" Raine’s eyes widened slightly, immediately understanding the principle as he watched the Giant Hammer Warrior’s adjutant’s action.
"Lightning rod?" Laisa blinked, not quite understanding yet.
However, soon she realized the hair originally standing up straight was rapidly smoothing out, signifying something.
Meanwhile.
"Boom! Boom!"
The huge blue arcs of electricity descending from the sky in succession were mostly drawn to this lightning rod device.
Of the six bolts of lightning from the enhanced summoning spell, five were attracted by the lightning rod, with only one hitting and incapacitating several Dwarf Warriors.
Facing an attack from a Transcendent caster, suffering less than ten casualties must be acknowledged as a near-perfect response.
At this moment, the Dwarf surprise troop engaged with the Dragon Mage Lord and the four Dragonman Captains.
This meant that the opponent no longer had the opportunity to use the lightning spell to attack the Ironfoot Legion’s formation a second time.
Just as Centurion Krom, Humbert, and almost all the Dwarves thought that there was no doubt the battle would end with their victory.
Suddenly!
A certain high-pitched and cold horn sound echoed from their right rear side.
...
