Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 24: A One-Sided Slaughter - The Dragon Lizard Makes its First Appearance

"Fantastic! Absolutely fantastic!"

"Holy crap, this Giant Lizard Bro's second day of deductions is already going for this kind of epic scene! It's like the budget is burning!"

"This is beautiful, this is so beautiful! It's worth following this big shot!"

"I have to call all my friends to come and see!"

"."

Among the video compilations on Pi Station, the video analysis by Lin Ke went viral!
The scene shows a large number of ferocious spotted boars charging forward with brute force, crashing straight into the walls of the swamp territory, seemingly completely unconcerned about physical damage.

Meanwhile, a large number of forest wolves, with their agile bodies, completely disregarded the height of the city wall and simply sped up it using the wall as a springboard.

On the city wall, archers were firing arrows with all their might, while militiamen were bringing oil and pouring it down the wall!

A deafening roar of flames engulfed the area, and hordes of ferocious spotted boars screamed and ran amok.

Even so, some forest wolves and other powerful magical beasts still managed to storm the city walls.

However, at this moment, the melee mercenaries who were already prepared rushed forward, and even some archers switched to longswords to kill these stragglers.

The whole process was incredibly brutal.

The screams of monsters and the roars of human soldiers are playing out one after another.

Meanwhile, inside the castle, York's wife Lucia used the healing potion that Linco had given her.

After diluting it, he hurriedly had the maids distribute it to the seriously wounded, hoping to replenish the fighting strength lost at the front as quickly as possible.

Even when diluted, the so-called medium-efficacy healing potion is extremely effective.

Often, just one breath is enough for some lightly injured people to recover.

Even severely injured people, depending on the degree of their injuries, can have their lives saved and recover quickly if the dosage is increased to a certain extent.

It can be said that whether they were mercenaries or militiamen, their eyes were filled with gratitude and admiration when they looked at Lucia.

The lord's wife was actually a powerful apothecary? They had no idea before.

It must be said that many people are envious of Lord York's good fortune at this moment.

Having a skilled apothecary is undoubtedly a huge help in clearing the wasteland.

Upon learning that Lucia was a powerful apothecary, and even that she was willing to use precious medicines to help them recover from their injuries, the mercenaries, who had previously been somewhat demoralized, suddenly became highly motivated.

The entire battlefield was asymmetrical from the very beginning.

The number of monsters may seem large, but don't forget that humans are the defenders.

A battle where the enemy is on a higher ground cannot even be considered a battle.

Not to mention the deadly weapon of oil on the city walls, and even earlier, York ordered his men to dig traps around the Baron's castle.

Therefore, as long as there is no intervention from high-level magical beasts, in this kind of team battle, the magical beasts are actually the ones who get slaughtered from the very beginning.

After all, there weren't many monsters this time, and there weren't any flying ones.

Of course, if the number of monsters reaches two or three thousand this time, perhaps the monsters will still have a chance.

But it's clear that the number of monsters that came this time was simply not enough for the attacking side.

In fact, after the battle had only lasted for a little over an hour, many of the magical beasts, having lost most of their kind, began to scatter and flee.

Even with three advanced magical beasts watching from the outside, they still couldn't stop these magical beasts from fleeing in terror.

Flames rolled, and crossbow bolts relentlessly reaped the already defeated monsters.

At this moment, the three advanced magical beasts were roaring several hundred meters away.

These three rank-up magical beasts include a rank-two forest wolf that is nearly three meters long, and a rank-two berserk spotted boar that weighs nearly two tons.

As for the other one, it was a black snake that was over twenty meters long.

At this moment, even though these three low-level magical beasts were not very intelligent, they still knew what it meant to seek advantage and avoid harm.

Therefore, instead of charging recklessly, the three magical beasts all turned around as if they intended to leave the swamp territory directly.

The battle in the swamp territory went unexpectedly smoothly.

York had initially thought that the three advanced magical beasts would attack the castle along with the monster horde. However, it turned out that these three advanced magical beasts were all very afraid of death and simply watched from a distance.

Even at the very end, those three guys didn't come to kill us?

However, upon closer reflection, York understood.

Low-level magical beasts are just low-level magical beasts. If they get splashed with kerosene, they'll be badly injured, even if they don't die.

Low-level magical beasts are not capable of ignoring attacks using conventional human methods.

Moreover, the strongest of these guys is only at the second tier. As for the first-tier black snake, in this kind of battle, if it dares to come, the result is actually no different from those unranked magical beasts.

"Victory?"

"That's it? What? I thought this battle was going to be very difficult."

The hundred or so mercenaries on the city wall showed joyful expressions, and even breathed a sigh of relief and joked with each other.

However, the Swamp Territory also suffered losses in this battle.

But in the end, there were probably only a dozen or so deaths, most of them among the militia. As for the light and serious injuries, there were probably more than fifty people.

Fortunately, they had Lucia, the powerful 'apothecary,' to help them, which is why everything seemed so wonderful.

As the blood-red setting sun cast its last rays, mercenary Paul stood on the city wall and sighed to his companions:
"I must say, the Swamp Territory truly lives up to its reputation as a land blessed by the gods."

"If that second-tier berserk boar had charged the city wall with the beast tide at the beginning, I think our makeshift city wall would have collapsed in the first wave alone!"

"That's why sometimes luck really is so important!"

"The captain is right. I was worried from the beginning that the big wild boar would charge over too!"

"Fortunately, that guy seems to have some intelligence and is also afraid of death, otherwise we would be in big trouble!"

"."

Paul's mercenaries chimed in agreement.

But at that very moment, the castle’s black iron gates suddenly opened!
Lord York, the knight of the Swamp Territory, rode his warhorse straight out of the gate at great speed.

"Wow! It's the lord!"

"No way? The lord is with two knight squires. Are they planning to hunt down those three retreating rank-3 magical beasts?"

The mercenaries all turned to look, some even thinking it was too risky!
But in the next instant, all the mercenaries realized that they had spoken nonsense!
Because, in the distance, in the direction where the three advanced magical beasts retreated, suddenly, the earth seemed to explode.

A colossal creature burst forth from the shattered earth and rocks, and immediately lunged at the neck of the second-tier spotted boar.

Before the second-tier spotted boar could even react, the third-tier rock dragon giant lizard had already bitten off most of the flesh from its neck.

At the same time, with a large number of rock spikes over several meters high protruding, the ferocious spotted boar, weighing about two tons, was impaled by the rock dragon giant lizard's spikes and turned into a large hedgehog with blood flowing freely!

"Roar!!!"

The terrifying roar echoed across the wasteland outside the lord's city-state, leaving all the militia and mercenaries stunned for a moment!

"Are you kidding me?"

"This is the lord's blood-bound magical beast?"

"I knew it! So that's why I didn't see the Lord's battle pet in this battle. It was waiting here!"

"But speaking of which, can any of you tell me, is this really a second-tier magical beast?"

"Second-tier?! Are you kidding me?!"

"Tier 3!!! This is a true Tier 3 magical beast, and its bloodline power has definitely reached a high-level level!!!"

After regaining their senses, the mercenaries on the city wall were all shocked and discussing among themselves.

Meanwhile, the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard was already chasing after another Tier 2 Forest Wolf that was desperately trying to escape.

As for that first-tier black snake?

Naturally, it was reserved for York, a second-tier elite knight!
I'm so frustrated! Yesterday, my manuscript got stuck when I tried to schedule the release, but it was still published. Even though I deleted it immediately, it was still considered yesterday's chapter even though it was published after midnight last night.

In other words, to keep updating, I have to update another chapter today, including this one. I'm exhausted! It's the new book season, and I've updated three chapters in one day. I'm so desperate! Please give me some follow-up reading, recommendations, monthly tickets, and rewards to comfort this little nobody.
