Chapter 75

The electromagnetic railgun's current rate of fire was no less impressive than that of a squad machine gun, its dense barrage sweeping through the area, leaving almost no enemy standing. Perhaps only those at the 9th rank of the Human Realm and above in combat roles, and those at the 5th rank of the Human Realm and above in spellcasting, could ensure they remained unscathed in such a sudden attack.

In the formation to encircle and kill the golden dragon, five battle puppets were caught off guard and immediately shot down. The highly penetrative bullets damaged the control mechanisms and spell arrays, causing them to lose control.

Sorcerers were known for their bizarre incantations but had few physical defenses. Without the puppets that could have served as barriers, the only sorcerer god in the field had no choice but to retreat.

Once the formation was disrupted, everyone could only focus on self-preservation, and the golden dragon's gravity and incantation spells caused the formation to disintegrate on the spot.

"Are you still waiting for something?" Lin默 shouted from the dragon's back, seeing that the highly skilled archers had already reacted, drawing their bows and preparing to retaliate.

The power of magic arrows would not be inferior to that of ordinary grenade launchers, and being hit by one would not be a pleasant experience. Even with the defensive capabilities of the "Dragon General" tactical armor, it could not compare to the thick-skinned dragons.

Despite a thousand unwillingnesses, the golden dragon, though overly proud, was not foolish. Without hesitation, it seized this opportunity, flapping its wings with all its might, activating its innate ability "Void Magnetic Field," and instantly took to the air.

"Damn humans! You will pay for your shameless and greedy actions."

Once free, the golden dragon's massive body rose to a height of over a hundred meters, its deafening roar shaking the surroundings, causing the faces of the dragon hunters on the ground to change dramatically.

The worst scenario everyone had hoped to avoid had come to pass!

Once this dragon was free from the constraints of magic and incantations, the hunters would become the hunted, and the hunted would become the hunters. The most critical issue was that the team leader was still on the dragon's back, his fate unknown.

This was truly the worst possible outcome, with no worse situation imaginable.

All the dragon hunters would become targets for the dragon's revenge, and the number of survivors might approach zero.

"Everyone, gather together, form a dense formation! Mages and sorcerers, prepare defensive spells!"

Judith, who had been brought to the golden dragon's back by Lin默, shouted without hesitation. Due to the unexpected severity of the situation, the dragon hunting team on the ground reacted slowly.

"Stop! Great Dragon!"

Lin默 unexpectedly spoke, his left hand trembling as the electromagnetic railgun transformed back into a wrist bracelet.

"Shut up! I will kill them all! Don't think that because you saved me, I will listen to you!"

The golden dragon turned its head and glared at Lin默, who stood on its back, casting a murderous glance at Judith. Thorns sprouted from its lower body, and its form instantly grew by a significant amount, seemingly preparing to unleash a devastating attack.

As Lin默 and Judith were lifted into the sky, their bodies naturally sank, their legs below the knees sinking into the dragon's back.

This indicated that the golden dragon did not intend to throw them off and, to some extent, acknowledged their presence.

"I advise you not to do this!"

"I advise you not to do this!"

The two on the dragon's back unexpectedly spoke in unison, and upon finishing their sentences, they looked at each other in surprise, amazed that they had said the same thing.

Lin默 spoke first: "You go first!" As a dragon hunter, his understanding of dragons should not be less than that of a dragon knight.

"Golden Dragon, I don't know what kind of attack you will use, but I can assure you that it will only further weaken your strength. If you insist on continuing the slaughter, you will lose your last chance to escape."

Judith spoke rapidly, her words like a machine gun, while her heart was uneasy, fearing she could not persuade the ferocious dragon.

"Great Dragon, have you lost your metal absorption ability?"

Lin默 deduced a terrifying fact from Judith's words, turning his gaze to the massive dragon head in front of him.

No wonder the sharp thorns on the ground remained in place. If it were his mount, Gold Coin, it would have been shooting thorns and making the missed thorns flow back to its body like mercury.

Until now, the dragon knight had not seen the golden dragon retract its thorns, indicating that the dragon hunters' incantations seemed to have deprived it of its metal absorption ability.

This bizarre and venomous incantation was almost fatal for the golden dragon. If it continued to attack recklessly, it would eventually be exhausted and starved to death due to the lack of replenishment.

Moreover, the signs of the attack it was about to launch were almost identical to the golden dragon's area-of-effect attack, "Thorn Storm." This meant that while it might successfully kill most of the dragon hunters below, it would inevitably become weakened due to the loss of a large amount of its metallic body.

Judith's words seemed to be true.

"Damn it, you damned humans!"

Judith's words struck a nerve with the golden dragon, causing it to roar in anger.

The thorns on the golden dragon's lower body retracted, and it twisted its body, flapping its wings and heading straight for the sky.

Compared to its pride, its life was more important.

This stubborn dragon was as shameless as Gold Coin. Could it be that all golden dragons were this proud and capricious?!

Lin默 sighed in relief as the golden dragon made the right choice. From the moment he had taken Judith hostage, his fate was linked with the golden dragon. If this dragon were to fall here, he would likely not fare well either.

"Where is it taking us?"

Claiming to be extremely knowledgeable about dragons, but standing on a living dragon's back for the first time, Judith could not help but feel panicked.

"To a safe place!"

As a dragon knight, Lin默 was completely unconcerned.

"God! It's actually leaving!"

The golden dragon's decision to abandon its revenge and fly into the sky caused all the dragon hunters to breathe a collective sigh of relief, as if they had narrowly escaped death.

Although the dragon hunting operation had ended in failure, and the Mollix family and other dragon hunters had suffered significant losses, the fact that most of them were still alive was a cause for celebration. Money could be earned again, but life, once lost, was gone forever.

All the dragon hunters, who risked their lives for immense wealth, were well aware of this.

"Jim! Quickly, call Jim! Gather the Mollix family warriors and rescue the head of the family!"

Seeing the terrifying golden dragon take their family head, Judith, the Mollix family's steward, Ronan, could not stand idly by. He quickly called for the family's knight commander, Jim, to organize a rescue team.

Soon, a group of fully armed Green Scale Horse knights galloped in the direction the golden dragon had disappeared.

Dozens of miles away, the golden dragon landed in a valley, and Lin默 threw the dragon hunting team leader, Judith, who had been frozen by the high-altitude cold and wind, to the ground.

Although they were dragon hunters, they had not violated the empire's laws. The golden dragon was bloodthirsty, but Lin默 was not, so the dragon knight had no intention of taking her life.

If not for Lin默's sudden intervention, the golden dragon might have fallen to the dragon hunting team today. Letting Judith go was a favor to Lin默.

Those who had the true friendship of a golden dragon, especially dragon knights, were almost considered kin by other golden dragons. Lin默, however, did not know that he held such a status among the golden dragons, simply thinking he had been lucky and that the golden dragon was easy to talk to.

"Damn you, bastard! I'll remember you! Achoo!"

Judith, covered in frost, shivered and sneezed, waving her fists at the dragon and Lin默, who had taken to the air again.

She turned and used the remaining battle qi to break branches and grass, taking out a flint to start a fire for warmth.

In the temporary camp of the "Majestic Lion" Legion's Third Division, which had penetrated over 200 miles into the Sylan Empire's border, the Third Division's progress was clearly smoother compared to the First and Second Divisions, which had been delayed by the city of Lian for an extra day.

"Lord Soman, I have found the man who kidnapped Lord Morsrig. He is in a town less than 50 miles away, and he has already reunited with his golden dragon. I need powerful sorcerer gods and mage gods to help me kill this damned Sylan dragon knight."

Supported by his last remaining subordinate, the Portland Sword God Glen met with the Third Division's flying dragon knight, who had come to make contact.

After riding the flying dragon to the "Majestic Lion" Legion's Third Division camp and receiving treatment, Glen eagerly requested an audience with the Third Division's commander, Soren, to request support.

"Dragon knight, golden dragon? That seems to be a very troublesome combination."

Soman, with a lean face and a thick beard, gently stroked his chin. Despite the rapid progress of the Third Division, he was the most cautious and careful of the "Majestic Lion" Legion's commanders.

In Soman's understanding, the golden dragon was the most suitable dragon for the battlefield, and as an enemy, it was a formidable opponent.

"Lord, please help. The Bird family will remember this favor!"

Glen, who not only belonged to the Second Division but was also a skilled expert sent by the Bird family to accompany the division commander, Morsrig, felt deeply humiliated by the kidnapping of the family's heir and was determined to avenge this insult to the Bloodthorn Bird emblem.

"Report! A cavalry unit has been spotted to the southwest, 67 in number, riding Green Scale Horses!"

A messenger suddenly reported, interrupting Soman's contemplation.
