Chapter 74

In the next second after the negotiations broke down, Lin Mo decisively launched a "capture the king first" tactic, pouncing on Judith, the overall commander of the dragon hunting operation, from her green-scaled steed in a flash.

The other party, with only the skills of a fifth-rank swordsman, was no match for a ninth-rank dragon knight who held nothing back. It didn't take much effort to subdue her with a joint lock.

"Everyone, fall back!"

This time, Lin Mo wasn't just making a verbal threat.

The dragon knight, who showed no mercy, didn't mind opening a bloody hole in the forehead of the young female knight, or even blowing her head off!

"Fall back! Everyone, fall back!"

The gray-haired butler, Ronan, quickly raised his hands to signal others not to act rashly, his forehead suddenly drenched in cold sweat.

The dragon knight's decisiveness to act without hesitation completely caught him off guard.

That was a dragon known for its slaughter. What was he planning to do? Was he not only seeking death for himself but also dragging others to die with him?

"Damn it!"

"Let her go, you won't escape."

"Kid, I'll remember you."

The surrounding area was filled with the glint of weapons. The warriors had to step back while shouting, but they were also hesitant to act recklessly.

Under normal circumstances, these powerful individuals wouldn't take a dragon knight seriously, but at this critical moment, if the dragon hunting operation lost its command, the golden dragon about to be subdued could turn the tide and counter-attack, which would be extremely fatal.

Lin Mo dragged Judith and quickly walked toward the position of the golden dragon.

"Lord Morin, are you crazy? That's a ferocious golden dragon! Don't think it will be gentle with you just because you're a dragon knight. It will kill you and me without hesitation."

Judith, seeing herself being pulled toward the intense battle, couldn't help but shout in panic.

In her eyes, approaching the golden dragon without any defense was no different from seeking death.

This dragon knight must be insane, definitely!

"Perhaps that's just your wishful thinking!"

Lin Mo showed no intention of stopping and continued to approach the battlefield.

At this moment, the warriors and spellcasters surrounding the golden dragon also noticed that their commander, Judith, had been taken hostage and was still moving toward the danger zone.

Except for the key mages and sorcerers who continued to cast spells, the others involuntarily slowed their attacks to avoid accidentally injuring their commander, Judith.

"Be careful!"

A nearly one-meter-long, two-finger-wide blade shot out from the golden dragon's body in an instant. Lin Mo, holding the red-haired female knight, lightly sidestepped, and the lethal blade pierced the ground where the dragon knight and Judith had just been, almost half of it buried in the ground.

This dangerous scene made everyone gasp in shock and wipe cold sweat from their foreheads.

Others could die, and at worst, their bodies could be dragged away and replaced. However, the experienced commander who could lead them to slay the dragon was irreplaceable. Acting recklessly in the dragon hunting operation was pure suicide.

The sword god of Portland, Glen, proved with his near-death experience that even a sword god could fall to a golden dragon.

Even in such a luxurious dragon hunting team, with a law god and a sorcerer god, they dared not be distracted for a moment.

"Human! It's you!"

The golden dragon, trapped in a desperate situation, suddenly noticed two tiny humans who had dodged its attack and were still approaching. It was about to attack again but stopped.

One of the humans was wearing heavy knight armor, but it could still sense the faint波动 of the forbidden contract that only the golden dragon clan could detect. It was the dragon knight it had met in the small town.

Even the most ferocious golden dragon would not easily kill another dragon out of respect for the true friendship of a fellow dragon.

The dragon hunters, who were still maintaining the gravity spell and curse, stopped their attacks, and a strange temporary truce formed with the golden dragon.

"I'll take you away!"

After dragging Judith to the side of the golden dragon, Lin Mo released her and took off the "Dragon Commander" tactical helmet without hesitation, allowing the dragon to see him clearly.

Although temporarily free, Judith didn't dare to leave Lin Mo's side. At such a close distance to the golden dragon, the dragon knight became her protector.

The young man with black hair and black eyes! She bit her lip and stared at Lin Mo, determined to remember this bastard dragon knight's face. If she could survive and leave here, she would settle this score in the future.

"Leave here, human. This is not a place for you."

For some reason, the golden dragon appeared extremely proud and didn't want to accept the dragon knight's offer.

"No, I can take you away!"

Lin Mo was unmoved. Perhaps it was because the dragon had helped him before, or out of affection for the gluttonous gold coin, that he insisted on saving this unfamiliar golden dragon.

"Do you know it?"

Judith had a bad feeling. If this dragon was the dragon knight's mount, their dragon hunting operation would be in big trouble.

This seemed to explain why the dragon knight repeatedly demanded to stop the dragon hunting and even took her hostage.

"Ha ha ha! Do you think they will let me go just because you say so? Human dragon knight, I am not your mount!"

The golden dragon sneered at the surrounding human strongmen who were still on high alert.

These dragon hunters had meticulously planned to hunt and trap it. How could they let it go so easily just because someone said so?

Moreover, with the pride and dignity of the golden dragon clan, it would not stoop to pretending to be a dragon knight's mount to save its life.

This also showed how precious the forbidden contract that the golden dragon, Gold Coin, secretly gave to the dragon knight was. For a human to gain the true friendship of a slaughter dragon was an incredible thing.

"You big fool!"

Lin Mo was somewhat angry at the dragon's lack of effort. He put on the tactical helmet and suddenly shouted as if talking to himself: "Square! 5mm caliber electromagnetic railgun, armor-piercing mode, activate!"

A black and thick electromagnetic railgun appeared in his left hand, just like the one placed in the cockpit of the "Devil" front-sweeping fighter jet.

He turned, grabbed Judith's waist, and leaped up.

As he turned, the electromagnetic railgun seemed to accidentally hit the silver blade that the golden dragon had shot and missed, which was stuck in the ground.

Upon contact, the blade melted like mercury and was absorbed into the weapon, disappearing as if it had never existed.

"Absorb?!"

The golden dragon's pupils slightly contracted. It clearly saw the blade disappear, which was a unique metal absorption ability of the golden dragon clan.

It saw the young human dragon knight and the female knight leap toward it like a flying swallow.

"Square external module confirmed connection, electromagnetic railgun, link sniper mode."

As the electronic voice sounded, a moving crosshair appeared on the display of the "Dragon Commander" tactical helmet.

The "Square" external module, which Lin Mo didn't even activate when being chased by the sword god of Portland, was now used to help the unfamiliar golden dragon.

"What are you doing? Get off! Bastard!"

The golden dragon didn't react in time but immediately realized that the point of impact was its back.

Without hesitation, its back, covered with blades, transformed, retracting the sharp and terrifying spikes to reveal a small flat landing spot, just enough for two people.

Stepping onto the dragon's back, Lin Mo smiled lightly, as if he had achieved his goal. He raised the electromagnetic railgun with one hand and aimed it at the surroundings. The electromagnetic acceleration track was already charged and buzzing.

"Now! That's it..."

Bang! Bang! Bang! A series of explosions echoed, and the area around the golden dragon was in chaos.

The nearly one-inch-long metal projectiles, accelerated to 4 Mach, easily tore through the refined vine armor of the surrounding warriors, and even the spellcasters' wands and amplification devices were not spared.

The high-speed rotating projectiles, with their strong penetration, easily pierced through everything, even stones.

The area around the golden dragon was filled with screams and groans. In front of the dragon knight with a precise electronic aiming system, they were like the best targets, falling one after another, blood splattering everywhere.

The time that could maintain the Dragon Slayer Sword for 9 minutes was reduced to 3 minutes and 15 seconds, 3 minutes and 10 seconds... With the high-intensity firepower output, the "Square" external module's operating time was drastically shortened. It was clear that the resource consumption of modern weapons was much greater than that of cold weapons.

"My God! What is this?"

Judith, who planned and commanded the dragon hunting operation, and Ronan, the butler of the Morlix family standing far away, could hardly believe what they saw.

Among the strongmen surrounding the dragon, there were not only seventh-rank, eighth-rank, and even ninth-rank experts but also a first-rank law god and a second-rank sorcerer god.

Yet, such a lineup was completely thrown into chaos by the strange weapon in the dragon knight's hands.

Judith didn't know that this was the result of Lin Mo's restraint.

The impact points on the human body were not vital areas, and the armor-piercing projectiles only created two holes when they hit the body, without causing the severe damage of standard projectiles.
