Chapter: Chapter 433
Although Linglong’s skin is delicate and tender, in fact, when fighting, there are probably not many people in the entire Bone Wing Tribe who can last a few rounds with her. Otherwise, these beastmen wouldn’t listen to her, an outsider, so obediently.
The story of the great god she fabricated was only one reason. The more important reason was that Linglong’s own combat power was strong. In the beastman race, those who are good at fighting naturally have a higher status. Ordinary beastmen will subconsciously respect such powerful individuals.
Linglong had directly challenged all the beastman warriors who looked down on her and were dissatisfied with her back then. After perfectly defeating all those who were dissatisfied, the voices of opposition within the Bone Wing Tribe almost disappeared.
The beastmen are indeed large-minded in some aspects. Even though Linglong beat them up, they were able to correct their attitude and obediently listen to Linglong, as if they were masochists.
The allies of the Bone Wing Tribe were also basically won over by Linglong’s fists. In this “fish pond” situation, Linglong, a silver player, still had enough suppressive power.
“Don’t forget, you are all my defeated opponents,” Linglong said calmly. “Bring me my spear, I’ll go meet that guy.”
“Goddess, this is too dangerous…” The generals still wanted to persuade her. If the Goddess couldn’t beat that beastman and was killed in return, the victory they had finally achieved would probably turn into a great defeat in an instant.
The army of the Bone Wing Tribe was sustained by Linglong alone. If Linglong were gone, let alone whether the various tribes could cooperate as closely as they did now, just in the current situation, the morale of the ordinary beastman warriors would drop significantly in an instant.
If the enemy seized this opportunity to counterattack, it was possible they could turn defeat into victory.
“By the time you deal with this obstruction, the defeated troops of the Steel Spear Tribe might have already fled. We need to annihilate the enemy this time, we can’t let these remnants escape!” Linglong snatched the long spear carried by several beastman warriors and rushed straight towards the tall beastman standing like a god of war in the center of the battlefield, disregarding the dissuasion of the generals.
“Goddess!” A general stretched out his hand but couldn’t stop Linglong.
The other generals merely sighed, “As expected of the Goddess, she always thinks of going first when facing such matters.”
In fact, everyone didn’t dislike such a leader, after all, she was willing to go to the front line and risk her life with you, and there wouldn’t be a situation where an amateur commanded professionals.
She clearly understood the difference in combat power between friend and foe, and wouldn’t send her subordinates on missions that were certain to fail. Just like in the current situation, Linglong knew that she was probably the only one in the Bone Wing army who could quickly solve this stumbling block, so she went.
A white light pierced through the battlefield and fiercely impacted the tall beastman’s shield.
With a loud bang, the mountain-like beastman warrior retreated a small step for the first time.
His gaze shifted to the front of the shield, but he could only see a black and gray long spear. The enemy who launched the attack had already disappeared, he didn’t know where.
Suddenly, his pupils contracted. He felt a scorching aura from behind him. The enemy had actually circled behind him unknowingly!
Immediately turning around with agility that was extremely disproportionate to his huge size, the beastman warrior blocked the flames attacking from behind at the last moment.
It was at this moment that he clearly saw his enemy. It was a white-haired girl floating in mid-air. She had a very long snow-white tail. Her slender body looked as if it didn’t have much strength.
But the spear that smashed into his shield just now was so powerful that perhaps this girl wasn’t as delicate as she looked.
And the flames were spewing from the girl’s palm. The beastman warrior could clearly see the semi-transparent circular array. These flames should be something like witchcraft?
He didn’t know, but the steadily rising temperature of the shield made him a little unbearable. If he continued to persist like this, his hands would definitely be burned, which would significantly reduce his combat power. At such a time, any loss of combat power was unacceptable.
The defeated troops of his side had not yet completely withdrawn, and he had to guard here to cover his compatriots’ escape.
Therefore, he absolutely couldn’t be defeated by this girl. At the very least, he had to hold on until the entire army withdrew before falling!
“Roar!!!” The beastman warrior let out a deafening roar. He raised his shield and charged towards Linglong.
Facing the beastman warrior’s charge, Linglong cautiously chose to dodge. She wanted to achieve a perfect kill, and the opponent’s charge was a move she absolutely could not block.
A humanoid war chariot was charging towards her. Anyone with a brain wouldn’t think of blocking it.
Beastmen without brains might think of blocking it, but such beastmen usually didn’t end well.
Linglong clearly understood her advantage compared to this beastman warrior. Her smaller stature brought her stronger mobility, and because of the dragon beastman’s talent, she could fly for a short time, which further enhanced her flexibility.
And her opponent was a Minotaur. The Minotaur race was a very common type among beastmen. Their advantages were thick skin and great strength, but their disadvantage was naturally lack of mobility. They would be quite uncomfortable when facing agile enemies.
Under normal circumstances, agile enemies would have insufficient attack power, so Minotaurs could rely on their excellent defense to find opportunities for a fatal blow. But now, the Minotaur faced an enemy who was not only agile but also had considerable attack power.
Dragon beastmen undoubtedly belonged to special species that were naturally more powerful than ordinary beastmen. To draw an analogy, they were probably like the Demon King bloodline among demons. They were inherently stronger than ordinary beastmen.
They could fly, had considerable strength, and could even breathe fire, making them all-around warriors among beastmen.
In terms of sheer strength, Linglong admitted that she couldn’t match this tall Minotaur. If she stood still and took a punch from this Minotaur, she would definitely be injured. If she was unlucky, she might even spit blood.
But why should she stand still and take the Minotaur’s punch? Now she was surrounding and attacking this guy, and there was no need to block his attacks at all.
If you can dodge, don’t block. This is a basic principle that almost no one misunderstands. Those who misunderstand it have probably died in strange places long ago.
These were lessons learned from the blood of their ancestors!
The Minotaur warrior wielded his great shield with impressive force, destroying everything around him like a tornado. However, his attacks had no effect. The clever Linglong had long since chosen to retreat temporarily, refusing to confront the Minotaur head-on.
Not only did she retreat, but she also unscrupulously called upon the nearby beastman warriors with ranged attack capabilities to focus their fire on this big wooden stake.
Although the Minotaur warrior’s defense was sufficient to withstand these small attacks now, it didn’t mean he didn’t feel any discomfort. Anyone would be unable to remain calm if they were constantly harassed like this.
“Coward!” The Minotaur roared in impotent rage, waving his shield, trying to crush the little bug jumping around in front of him. But Linglong was too agile, and he couldn’t even touch the corner of the “little dragon girl’s” clothes.
Not only could he not touch her clothes, but as the Minotaur’s stamina was being depleted, Linglong could also seize opportunities to sneak in a few hits.
Linglong’s attacks were different from the light and airy attacks of other beastmen. The Minotaur warrior was certain that if the blow that hit his shield earlier landed on him, he would undoubtedly be directly pierced. If he was lucky and avoided vital points, it would be a serious injury. If he was unlucky and hit a vital point, he could go to join his comrades.
When did such a warrior appear in the Bone Wing Tribe? Why had he never heard of her before? He couldn’t help but wonder, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t imagine that the girl fighting him was the actual leader of the Bone Wing Tribe.
“Heh, rather than that, you should worry about how long you can hold on,” Linglong didn’t react to this evaluation at all. This was not a sparring match, but a battlefield. It was normal for her to use any means.
Was there any problem with calling allies to focus fire? At least Linglong didn’t think so, and her subordinates didn’t think there was any problem with it.
Thus, under Linglong’s dragging tactics, the originally invincible Minotaur warrior turned into a mere puppet. He wanted to counterattack but couldn’t hit anything at all.
The ordinary soldiers had long since received Linglong’s orders to stay away from here. They were only harassing the Minotaur warrior with ranged weapons. Even if the Minotaur warrior charged towards those beastmen, they would be dodged by these beastmen who were already on high alert.
With such a long reaction distance, as long as one wasn’t an idiot, they could dodge it.
Besides, there was Linglong nearby, lurking around. If the Minotaur warrior dared to expose his back to Linglong, Linglong’s long spear would not show mercy.
Boom!
The long spear and the great shield collided again. This time, Linglong gained the upper hand in a pure power struggle for the first time.
The Minotaur warrior was forced to take two or three steps back by this blow, and the hand holding the great shield began to tremble continuously.
A feeling of exhaustion surged from within him. He had drunk the potion provided by the Tiger-man long ago. After such a long time and such an intense battle, he was indeed nearing his limit.
“It seems you can’t hold on much longer,” Linglong naturally wouldn’t overlook this change. She immediately seized the opportunity and launched a torrential counterattack.
Don’t underestimate Linglong’s agility and elegance from before. When it came to frontal assault, this girl was also very formidable. She wielded the great spear flawlessly, completely suppressing the Minotaur warrior, leaving him no room to retaliate.
Under the watchful eyes of all the Bone Wing warriors, their Goddess was engulfed in pale flames. These flames also attached themselves to her long spear, making Linglong look particularly handsome.
“Look behind the Goddess, what is that?!” A keen-eyed beastman warrior suddenly shouted.
In their eyes, the majestic silhouette of a giant creature appeared behind Linglong. It was a white lizard-like creature, but unlike ordinary lizards, this white creature had horns on its head and wings on its back, clearly indicating it was no ordinary being.
The beastmen didn’t recognize what it was, but the two in the sky immediately guessed its identity.
“It must be a dragon!” Leticia’s eyes widened. She tightly grabbed Miss Bai’s hand, her voice laced with an irrepressible excitement, “The relationship between dragon beastmen and dragons might be closer than I imagined!”
The dragon silhouette that appeared behind Linglong, Leticia’s intuition told her that perhaps that was what Linglong turned into after becoming a dragon.
But how could beastmen turn into dragons? Even the most powerful beastman warriors at the peak of the beastman race couldn’t transform into their animal prototypes.
“This appearance… it must be a dragon,” Miss Bai, although she had never seen a real dragon, was generous enough to agree, saying that she should say this to make Leticia happy.
“My investment in this wave is definitely a great profit,” Leticia snorted proudly, her face full of pride. “After this is over, we’ll find an opportunity to talk to Linglong privately?”
“Then you probably won’t find a good opportunity. After Linglong wins this battle, there will be many things for her to do,” Miss Bai wasn’t agreeing this time, but earnestly offered her opinion.
After winning this battle, there would be pursuit, celebrations, etc. Linglong would likely not have time to chat with them for a while.
Of course, if they actively went to find Linglong, Linglong definitely wouldn’t dare to drive them away.
However, Leticia and Miss Bai were not perpetrators of heinous crimes and wouldn’t do such things. Therefore, it was better to wait for Linglong to be free before discussing matters concerning her identity.
At this moment, on the battlefield below, Linglong, engulfed in flames, had shattered the Minotaur warrior’s great shield with sheer force. This irresistible power made everyone realize one thing: their Goddess was a more powerful warrior than this Minotaur.
“I’m not interested in hearing your last words, but don’t worry, your chief will soon accompany you to the underworld.” Linglong didn’t have the habit of rambling in front of dying enemies. She unhesitatingly thrust her spear, piercing the Minotaur warrior’s chest.
Pale flames instantly engulfed the Minotaur warrior’s body. In just a few breaths, this powerful warrior turned into ash and scattered.
Witnessing all this, the Bone Wing warriors simultaneously let out excited roars. Their Goddess was so valiant that they were greatly encouraged. It could be said that Linglong’s battle successfully boosted the morale of the Bone Wing army to a higher level.
