Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 904 886. Dragon Pattern Shield

Lan En's original intention was to give the Lothrik Knight Commander something to push against him first.

But unexpectedly, Lan En's hook and lock pulled the kite-shaped shield over and handed it to the knight commander.

The knight commander of Lothric seemed to be suddenly stunned.

Under his lifted visor, half of one of his eyebrows was missing. It seemed that the skin with half of the eyebrows had been shaved off in a certain battle. After the scars formed, he lost the ability to grow eyebrows.

At this time, the one and a half eyebrows looked like one long and one short, two long twisting snakes.

"This is."

The knight commander inserted his sword into the gap between the stone bricks of the stairs.

He took the kite-shaped shield handed over by Lan En with both hands. His hands were trembling slightly, as if he didn't want to believe the situation in front of him.

In other words, he was resisting what was happening in front of him.

But in the end, the knight's tenacity and strength prevailed.

His hand regained its composure, and the metal glove pulled up the bright red flame-like cloak and began to wipe the surface of the kite-shaped shield.

As the bright red cloak was gradually blackened by ashes, the previously buried lines on the shield began to appear.

This is a kite-shaped shield with a blue base and a golden dragon pattern on it. The shape is exquisite and gorgeous.

But obviously, the reason why the Knight Commander was so rude had nothing to do with its 'exquisiteness'.

"Dragon pattern shield?!"

Even when he cleared the entire staircase of enemies with his sword and was injured himself, the knight commander's voice had never been so dry.

It seemed that what he was holding was not a shield, but some kind of terrible omen.

"Is there something wrong with this shield?"

Lan En asked softly without leaving any trace.

He now felt that the sudden attack on the bridge into Lothric was probably not a big deal.

"This is the most fire-resistant shield in the world."

The knight commander almost gritted his teeth and told the situation about this shield.

"Even the black iron shield held by the infamous [Hunter Knight] and the Black Knight Shield of the Black Knights of the Mythical Age are inferior to it!"

"This is the flame protection that can only be achieved by attaching magic to it. It is a blue shield with magic power!"

"How could this thing be in the hands of rioters?!"

Just listening to the knight captain's introduction is enough to make the shield seem precious.

But as Lan En and the Knight Commander's gaze extended towards the bridge.

There are a few enemies who have been burned to death by the dragon's breath, and there are more enemies who still maintain their fighting power despite the waves of dragon's breath. They all have this kind of shield on their hands and on the ground!

As if remembering something, the knight commander suddenly pressed Lan En's shoulders and spoke hurriedly.

"That skill you just had! Can you use it again?"

"certainly."

Lan En raised his left hand, and the hook lock device on the arm armor opened and closed with his movements, making a mechanical "click" sound.

"What are you going to do?"

"Can you pull that man's body over here, the one lying next to the dragon-patterned shield?"

Lan En looked at the anxious knight commander. He had already tied the inner leather strap of the dragon pattern shield to his hand.

It looked like if Lan En said 'no', he would just rush out with his shield on his back.

The hook lock once again crossed a distance of more than 20 meters, grabbed an enemy corpse that had been burned to char, and dragged it back to the safe stairs.

Before the hook lock could fully retract, the knight commander leaned out and grabbed the corpse's neck. Then the hands wearing iron gloves began to rummage through the corpse's clothes and small bags.

Finally, he dug out a small iron box.

Just like the expression on the shield with the dragon pattern just now, the knight commander seemed to be afraid to open the box and see what was inside.

But in the end, he still opened the small iron box with a small "squeak".

Inside were small fiery red pills, with some things resembling slender limbs of insects on them.

Judging from Lan En's pharmacological knowledge, this is probably a pill made by drying and grinding insects into powder.

This time, without the Witcher asking, the Knight Commander muttered about the pills himself.

"[Red Worm Pills], improve the body's high temperature tolerance. The technology of Youshu Church."

As the knight commander murmured to himself, Lan En also looked at the shield and the pill box with strange eyes.

After logical analysis, the witcher has grasped the key point of the knight's long story.

When describing the dragon-patterned shield, the Knight Commander unconsciously emphasized the word "magical".

When describing the red worm pills, the emphasis is on 'The Deep Church'.

This attack had been planned for a long time, and it only broke out now because of the full understanding of the dragon knights in Lothric City.

This is the characteristic of "having a mole".

And now, dragon pattern shields and red worm pills have appeared on the scene. These technologies and production methods are obviously very special things.

The blue shield with magical power involves the magician, and the pills produced by the Netherworld Church involve the priesthood.

Although these two things are precious in themselves, they are not taken seriously by the Knight Commander Lothric at all.

What really matters is what these two things mean when they appear at the scene of the riot!

Lothric's royal power comes from the support of three pillars.

Knights represent force, sages represent wisdom and research, and priests regulate faith.

And now, at least two of them are heavily suspected!

After getting the dragon pattern shield and red worm pills, the knight commander became more urgent.

He pulled out the big sword stuck in the gap between the stone bricks, and carried the dragon-patterned shield on his back. He passed Lan En and ran towards the top of the gatehouse.

He just patted Lan En on the shoulder as he passed by as a greeting.

The flying dragon that stayed high in the sky and did not enter the battlefield because there was no dragon knight fell again, and the knight captain rode his dragon into the sky.

The three flying dragons briefly gathered and hovered in the sky for a while, as if they were exchanging information.

Subsequently, the formation of the dragon knights changed.

Originally, the three-headed flying dragon flew over the bridge like a bomber, breathing dragon breath to cover the entire place.

But it's all about waves, one after another, striving to cause maximum damage with reasonable wave arrangements.

However, this skilled and reasonable tactic was in vain when facing these attackers.

Precisely because the flying dragons came in waves, they were able to adjust the direction of the shield in time and use the magic power on the dragon pattern shield to resist the flying dragon's breath.

The knight commander's arrangement is also very simple.

The two flying dragons breathed fire at each other from both sides of the bridge, burning from beginning to end. Let's see where a dragon-patterned shield can go! How many flames to guard against!

Sure enough, the breath of the two flying dragons instantly burned the entire stone brick bridge surface to black, and there was a 'clicking' sound of the stones being burned.

At the same time, the attackers who had experienced the breath several times had not suffered any serious reduction in numbers. After this time, the number of [Thunder Guns] that can be fired into the sky has suddenly decreased by most!

After understanding the enemy's protection against flames, as long as the tactics are properly arranged, it is a matter of course to achieve results.

At the end, there was an attacker lying on the stairs pretending to be dead. He wanted to take advantage of the dragon knights to breathe fire at low altitude and jump up, ready to use the [Thunder Gun] to kill even a flying dragon.

But the knight captain's sword was far faster than the [miracle] he released.

Sen Leng's sword flashed through the air, leaving only a corpse broken into two pieces.

The knight commander on the dragon's back had a cold gaze.

Looking at the half of the corpse, he was even more certain that these people had an extraordinary understanding of the Lothric Dragon Knight.

If he hadn't discovered the enemy who jumped over just now, maybe his flying dragon would have been killed.

Because the angle chosen by the attacker was the blind spot of Feilong's field of vision.

Without enough professional guidance, ordinary people would never know such critical information as Feilong's blind spot in his field of vision!

And if I had really rushed to the bridge to look for clues against the dragon breath of my companions just now, I would have inevitably been burned.

After his condition declines, whether he can react to such a sudden attack is also a question.

Fortunately, with the help of others, I figured out what was going on while maintaining a perfect state.

The three-headed flying dragon finally landed on the bridge safely.

Two of them were still turning their long necks alertly, looking around and alert, while the most seriously injured one was lying on the bridge panting.

"Put away these dragon pattern shields."

The knight captain jumped off the dragon's back and gave instructions to the other two Lothric knights.

"There are also red worm pills in their arms. Put these away, hurry up!"

As the knight commander spoke, he bent down to pick up the dragon pattern shields scattered in various places and carried them on his back.

He picked it up and walked towards the wall of the stairs below the door.

There, Lan En was stroking Qilin's forehead, seemingly waiting for him.

Several dragon-patterned shields clashed with each other on the knight's back.

He walked up to Lan En and raised his visor.

"I am Lorenzo, one of the knight captains of the Knights of Lothric."

"My name is Lan En."

The iron glove and the leather glove with steel armor on the outside simply shook hands, and it was considered acquaintance.

While Lorenzo tightened the shields on his back, he looked into Lan En's eyes.

"I want you to follow me into town and be a witness."

"Witness? Prove what?"

"It proves that these shields and red worm pills were equipment worn and used by the attackers from the beginning."

The knight captain patted these shields, making a 'bang bang' sound.

"People of Catalina, you may not know. Lothrik's flying dragon is our world-famous power, and we will not let this shield that can significantly restrain the flying dragon's flames spread to the people on a large scale."

"The key to the craftsmanship of this kind of shield lies in the magic on it. This is not something that everyone can learn."

"There are very few places in the world that can make this kind of shield."

As he spoke, Lorenzo's eyes couldn't help but look towards the magnificent city at the end of the bridge.

The city of Lothric was built by hollowing out one side of a mountain range.

Lan En suddenly thought: The place that can make such a shield should obviously be Losric.

After all, the knights of Lothric were formerly dragon-slaying knights.

In this world where the rules of the world are about to collapse, are there still internal disputes?

Thinking of this, Lan En shook his head for taking it for granted.

In an ordinary world, the end of the world is certainly a time for unity.

But in this world, the bishops of the Netherworld Church began to think of ways to survive in the Deep Sea Age.

It's hard to say what plans other scholars and mages will have.

After all, life always wants to find its own way.

"Then take me in." Lan En nodded towards Lorenzo. "I happen to be going to the city too."

"Thanks for your cooperation, Lan En. Don't worry, we won't waste a long time."
