"You dwarves really are... where on earth is this damn door hidden?" Roland said frantically.
"Well, we have to wait until the moon comes out to see it. This is the moonlight secret door..." Balin shrugged.
"Very good, Kaslo ordered everyone to lean against the wall and rest for a while!" Roland took off his helmet helplessly to get some fresh air.
"I understand." Kaslo nodded.
…
"Splash!" A few dwarves, bored and idle, sat by the lake, throwing stones into the water for fun. Roland happened to see this and felt his blood pressure rise instantly. Why were these dwarves so clumsy? They were like hobbits from Lord of the Rings. Did they have ADHD?
"Stop!" Roland quickly stopped the dwarves from doing anything shameful, but the next moment he knew it was too late...
"Something is approaching! Stay away from the lakeshore!" Caslo suddenly drew his sword and ran over, protecting Roland behind him and retreating.
"Leave the lake! There's something in the water!" Omsk's voice was extremely loud, and the next second all the Lagran soldiers obeyed the order and retreated cautiously.
"What happened?" Balin asked Roland anxiously, holding his battle axe.
"Nothing, your men did a great job. A large creature in the water has been disturbed! Kaslo! Don't hold back! Ride the dragon!" Roland instinctively sensed danger. This underwater watcher hidden in the Mirror Lake had been thriving for who knew how many years. Its strength was likely no less than that of a super monster...
"Huahuahua~" There was a strange movement in the lake, and ripples began to spread on the lake water.
"It's coming!" Kaslo said coldly, and then blew the dragon flute. Amid the loud dragon roar, Kaslo sat steadily on the dragon saddle, with the dragon spear in his hand pointing obliquely at the water.
"The situation is not good! This thing should be an underwater watcher. Looking at its head, I would believe you if you said it was a super monster! How did you dwarves raise it to be like this?" The last sentence was said by Kaslo to Balin.
"Who knows? He can't be hired by the dwarves to guard the gate, right? Be careful!" Roland smiled bitterly while holding the Dragon Slaying Sword in both hands.
"I'll go take a look from a higher place! This guy is intimidated by Cardo's dragon might and doesn't dare to make a move. I have to go and pull him out!" Caslo said solemnly. He didn't have time to play hide-and-seek with this thing.
"Well, be careful!" Roland said worriedly.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. This thing poses no threat to the dragon knights! It just causes more damage to the infantry!" Caslo shook his head.
"Let's go! Let's go find it!" Kaslo shouted as he pulled the dragon reins.
"Ang!" With a clear and passionate dragon roar, the giant dragon flapped its wings and soared into the sky, making Balin next to it envious.
"Are you envious? What do you have to envy? Don't you dwarves still have Dragonhawk Knights? Compared to my few dragon knights, your dragonhawk knights can be trained in an organized manner." Roland said.
"Haha, King Roland, you really know how to joke... Raising a dragon eagle is very expensive..." Even the wealthy dwarves had to frown, you can imagine how expensive the sub-dragon species is.
"Boom!" While Balin and Roland were talking, Kaslo had already arrived above Mirror Lake and released a burst of dragon breath, stirring up countless splashes of water. At the same time, the corpses of many fish floated to the surface as Cardo vented his anger... Roland's mouth twitched. Why did this scene look so much like the feeling of letting off a pet's energy while walking it?
"Bang!" Suddenly a thick tentacle shot up into the sky and slapped the dragon rider in the sky, and the watcher in the water finally showed up.
"Sizzling Fish?" Looking at the appetizing tentacles, Roland suddenly had this thought...
The dozens of meters long tentacles shocked the infantry present, but the rest were useless. The dragon could escape from his attack range with a flap of its wings, not to mention that the wind dragon could wrestle with him without any disadvantage. A dazzling wind blade cut off its most active tentacle, leaving behind the terrifying roar of the underwater watcher.
"He's coming!" A dwarf exclaimed, pointing at the ripples on the water that were getting closer and closer. Apparently, the watcher in the water had also discovered these "little cuties" on the shore!
"Shield wall! Prepare to charge! Watch out for the water!"
"Tentacle!"
"Cut off the tentacles! Dodge!"
Almost everyone was scrambling to deal with the underwater watcher's attacks. Many Lagrang soldiers and dwarf warriors who were unstable were blown away by the underwater watcher's tentacles. The entire defense line was in chaos. Everyone crowded together and desperately slashed at its huge tentacles. From time to time, a few poor creatures were dragged out of the formation. As they were dragged into the water, the crowd cut off its tentacles and rescued them...
"It's chaos... too chaotic..." Roland helplessly raised the Dragon Slaying Sword but didn't know how to give orders.
"Oh! Torino! Oh my God! I caught you, kid! Oh no! Save him!" Balin ran quickly on the battlefield with his short legs.
"Caslo! Find a way to solve it!" Roland yelled at Caslo at the top of his voice.
"It's too close! I can't attack!" Caslo looked at the underwater monitor who was entangled with the soldiers. Not only was this guy surrounded by soldiers of the coalition forces, but there were also many soldiers in the water who were pulled in by him.
"Where's the ranger! Shoot him to death!" Roland said angrily.
"We're already doing that! His skin is too thick! It's useless unless we hit his eyes!" said the rangers as they shot their bows with all their might.
"..." Roland fell silent after glancing at the observer's eyes, which were as small as green beans compared to his body. This creature was much bigger than the one in the Rapid River, but his eyes seemed smaller?
"Omsk! Kill him!" Roland continued to wave people.
As a result, when he turned around, he saw Omsk trying to cut off the tentacles to save the drowned soldier...
"Roland! We can't go on like this! The soldiers will be exhausted fighting in the water! We have to find a way to keep this guy away from the water!" Balin said anxiously.
"Retreat! Rescue the soldiers who fell into the water! Let's retreat first!" Roland said stiffly. He had to be thankful for the location of this damn dwarf secret door. Besides the disgusting activation conditions, it was also so close to the shore. Or maybe the lake had risen. Anyway, there wasn't much land for the soldiers to land on. Everyone was crowded together and became a target for the underwater watcher. Roland could only order the troops to withdraw first. If they continued to fight with this thing, there would be casualties.
"Wait until dark! Rescue the soldiers who fell into the water! Leave here!" Roland roared.
Everyone immediately reached out their hands, threw ropes, some people restrained the underwater watcher, and the rangers shot the ropes to the side of the soldiers who fell into the deep water.
"Omsk! Organize the troops! Balin! Count the dwarves! Kaslo, push that thing back! Let me lead the people away in peace!" Roland roared angrily, waving the Dragon Slaying Sword and cutting off a tentacle.
"Move! Soldiers!"
"Oli! Oyin! Kids, get out of here! We will fight back at night!" Balin quickly turned in with the dwarves.
"Retreat! Kaslo!" Seeing the army retreating into the safe area, Roland said to Kaslo who was struggling with the underwater monitor.
