Chapter 563 Negotiations with Marathus
However, Levitra had already seen that the other party was a donkey, so he also followed the other party's words, "That's right, that's exactly what it is."
The fire dragon Marathers suddenly became interested. It couldn't help but move a few steps and put its big head forward, "Oh, let me hear it."
At this time, it did not even call itself Lord Maratus, but called itself the master. It seemed that this was its nature.
"As you can see, I am a knight from Batonia, and will likely inherit a Duke's lord in the future, and I am now following the goddess' guidance and carrying out a great and glorious task. If you will, I think we will have a lot of common language. Think about how good a Duke's lord will have? How many gold coins will there be in taxes alone?"
Of course, it is just the future. Since being occupied by the Red Duke, there seem to be few living people at all, so the king and many indigenous dukes have never cared about it. They just waited for the descendants of Duke Landuin to appear and then conquer it again...
However, for Levitra, who is the hero of God, this is a great opportunity. The indigenous people dislike it and it doesn’t matter where they are. The heroes of God have motivation.
Not to mention anything else, if I really occupy the Duke of Musilon, I can select some elites among my fellow Guardians to let them have their own territory. They will definitely be more excited than anyone else!
"A Duke of Batonia?"
The fire dragon Marathers was immediately moved. It was not an ordinary brainless beast. Of course, it knew that occupying a piece of land and collecting taxes regularly would definitely be much more comfortable than robbing everywhere. But it thought about it again, since being a duke can collect taxes, why should it surrender to the other party? Wouldn't it be better to be a duke?
Thinking of this, the fire dragon Maratus felt the sudden enlightenment in front of him. It immediately laughed, "Human, you are still useful after all. Lord Maratus decided to forgive your sins, as long as you give me the position of the Duke!"
“???”
Levitra's face was filled with questions. He didn't know what crazy this fire dragon suddenly had to say such words.
The dozen dukes of the Knight Kingdom were passed down since the founding of the country. All the successors were blood descendants of the founding fathers, and there was never any exception. Although this was not completely written into the law, there was a goddess in the lake behind it. Should the knights violate this rule as her loyal believers?
Not to mention becoming a duke, it is hard to get the lowest level as a lord with honorary title. It does not have any Batonian aristocratic bloodline on it, even if it recognizes itself as its godfather!
"I think we can put this aside first and discuss other details first..." Levitra politely refused.
But the greedy fire dragon Maratus didn't want to let go, and it immediately turned against him, "Damn human, then I will kill you first, and then rob the Duke's position! Lord Maratus wants taxes, Lord Maratus wants gold coins!"
With a roar, the Fire Dragon Maratus attacked Levi and others again, and the offensive was as fierce as ever.
However, the conversation between it and Levitra wasted a lot of time after all. Without paying any attention, the various fire element creatures summoned by it had long been completely cleaned up by the Hunter Marshal. Levitra was not just here to talk nonsense with it!
"Die, a greedy beast!"
With a loud shout, the Hunter Marshal, who had been planning for a long time, took the lead in launching the attack. An unprecedented bright light flashed on his strong bow, and the amber energy quickly gathered, which even shocked the professional mages Ophine and Mina. This was not the power that his bow and arrow could possess. Even as a professional amber mage, it would be difficult to gather such strong magic power!
However, before they could ask questions, Roderick, who was holding a shield next to him, was full of vigilance, and was already full of pride and shock. "That is the power of the natural master to enchant the battle for this battle!"
The others suddenly realized.
The sect leader of the natural sect, the strongest of the existing amber mages in the empire, and is also a high-level member of the Tar Sect, the God of Nature and Wilds. Even the orc shaman who is also good at amber magic, may not be stronger than him. His status is similar to the highest alchemist in the Empire of the Golden Academy, or the Black Lady of the Amethyst Academy. Although his strength may be slightly weak, his reputation and status are equally different.
If the Hunter Marshal can ask him to take action, he will naturally show such great power!
The fire dragon Maratus had no time to listen to their conversation carefully, because with the raid of Marshal Hunter, the amber energy gathered more and more, and its pressure became greater and greater. Just as it roared and repelled Davi and Reiner who were blocking the road and took the initiative to pounce on Marshal Hunter, Marshal Hunter had already completed the accumulation of energy, and he finally shot this critical arrow!
The original arrow became thicker and longer than the spear, and as soon as it was taken off, it hit the deadliest key to the fire dragon Maratus - its heart!
With a loud bang, the huge dragon Maratus, was forced to repel several steps, and then a series of explosions rang out, and the ground was covered with smoke and dust for a moment. Levitra and the others could only hear the dragon Maratus wailing there, but they couldn't see how seriously it had suffered.
But after howling for two times, the Fire Dragon Maratus suddenly became suspicious, "Hey? Why are you okay? You didn't feel the pain at all?"
Levitra immediately looked at the Hunter Marshal, but the Hunter Marshal seemed to have already prepared. He shook his head gently, "Levitra, I am very grateful for your previous efforts. If it weren't for you, I probably might not have enough time to start this move. However, the real battle will begin next, so you can leave it to us!"
Looking at the Hunter Marshal who was so confident and looking at the Fire Dragon who ran out of the smoke and dust, but even the scales on his body were not shattered, Levi was a little confused for a moment. He didn't know where the other party's confidence came from...
Wait, Levitra suddenly noticed that there was a green mark on the chest of the dragon Maratus. The dragon Maratus himself could not see it, but they could see it very clearly. It must be the hunter marshal's reliance!
Seeing that Roderick and his subordinates had already met him, Levitra did not go up to fight in particular, but pondered for a moment, "Marcedes-Marcel, do you have to kill it on this trip?"
The Hunter Marshal frowned immediately when he heard this. He knew that the other party had not completely given up on that idea. However, in the previous battles, he had always been the main force, and he owed a lot of favors, so he couldn't refuse directly. He could only remind the other party more tactfully, "Levis, dragons are all proud beasts. They will not surrender to us humans. In the entire empire, except for the famous Black Lady, no human has ever been able to subdue a dragon as a mount."
Levitra raised his eyebrows, "What if it was the goddess' wish?" He had only revealed a little bit of news before, but now, looking at the swearing hunter marshal, he felt that he could do something.
"Goddess? What goddess?" The Hunter Marshal was stunned at first, and then he immediately remembered the identity of the young knight in front of him. He immediately widened his eyes, "You must have embarked on the road to pursuing the Holy Grail, right? And it is the prey needed by the goddess in the lake?" Although he had not seen the Holy Grail Knight, he was still the first person so young!
As for why he thought Levitra would be the Holy Grail Knight or the Quasi-Holy Grail Knight, because if it was in an ordinary stage, it would be impossible to involve a creature like a dragon, let alone this obviously unusual dragon!
Levitra immediately knew there was a door, so he bowed slightly, "If you can help me, Levitra Landu will be grateful."
"Landuin's blood descendants?" The Hunter Marshal's eyes immediately froze, but then he felt relieved, "No wonder this is the case. Well, for the sake of a Holy Grail Knight and Duke Lanuin, I can let go of this giant dragon!"
Levitra bowed slightly again. He knew that it was not easy for the other party to make this decision. After all, there was an opportunity to kill the dragon!
“I’m grateful.”
Levitra and the Hunter Marshal were discussing here, but the person being discussed on the other side was very unhappy. After the fire dragon Marathers slapped a human fish blocking the road again, it roared in anger, "Damn humans, you really angered Lord Marathers, let you see the fire dragon's anger!"
With its shouting, it took a deep breath, and everyone around it suddenly dissipated like birds and beasts, because before that, the ferocious fire dragon had used this trick several times, and every time it accompanied this trick, someone would definitely die on the spot, and even the priest unit behind it had no time to treat it!
But this time, it took a strong breath, but did not feel the familiar power. It did not believe in evil and could not help but suck several big mouthfuls, but its chest was still empty, as if the dragon flame it once had did not exist at all!
At the same time, the Hunter Marshal also quickly drew his bow and arrows, and at the same time ordered everyone to attack together. "It can't use that move now, nor can it use any skills. Don't give it a chance to breathe!"
After he issued the order, Levitra had already swung his sword and rushed forward first. When he saw that the dragon flame of the fire dragon Marlathers could not be used, he already understood the Hunter Marshal's plan!
The others were also excited and attacked the fire dragon Maratus. Unpredictable, the fire dragon Maratus suffered repeated injuries, but the more severe the damage was its soul. Why did the dragon flame, which it was proud of, suddenly become unhealthy?
Levitra also saw the other party's hesitation, because even if he lost his magic, his powerful power and body shape were placed there, which was also a huge threat, but now it has not been able to show its due strength. It turned out that Roderick had to fly out at least a few dozen meters away by him, but now, he only needs to fly out more than ten meters, and every two seconds after landing, he can get up again and rush up. This is a big difference!
But after fighting for several rounds again, Levitra began to feel helpless. Even if he lost Dragon Flame, he seemed to have lost other magic skills. However, the defensive fire dragon did not weaken at all. Ophini and the others' magic hit the opponent, which was basically a breeze blowing on the face, so since the war started, the opponent's eyes have never looked at them.
Although the attacks of others can have some effect, they are actually very limited. Levitra couldn't help but turn his attention to the Hunter Marshal again. He was so confident before, what should I do now?
Then Levitra discovered that the Hunter Marshal was in a very embarrassing situation at this moment, because even his legendary battle bow did not cause much damage to the Fire Dragon Maratus. All the methods he prepared in advance did work, but he ignored the most critical point, that is, the opponent's defense is too outrageous!
Even the Hunter Marshal was like this. The witch hunters, wood elves, or other elite hunters under his command were even more imaginable. Although they were constantly shooting at the fire dragon Maratus, in Levith's opinion, they were just expressing that they were not lazy. But to say how effective it was, as long as they were not blind, they could see clearly!
Looking at the Hunter Marshal with helpless face, Levitra knew that he probably had no choice but to sigh helplessly, "Marrior, let's do it my way. How long will we have?"
The Hunter Marshal immediately knew what he meant. He quietly stretched out his finger and gestured at Levitra, indicating that he didn't have much time left. Even the power of the natural sect leader would not have allowed the magic of a giant dragon to be invalid for too long.
Levitra nodded secretly, and at the same time had an idea in her heart. The goddess in the lake had known that Marathis, the fire dragon, could not be dealt with by now? Even if it was added to the hunter marshal, it was useless, so she said, prove her wisdom!
However, on the surface, Levitra still did not show it, but instead shouted with confidence, "Stop it, Maratus, if you still want to get your strength back!"
"What?"
The fire dragon Maratus was immediately surprised, and then it stared at Levitra viciously, "You are the ones who did it, you stole my power?"
Under normal circumstances, it would call itself Lord Maratus, but once the situation was urgent and it would not notice its own terms, it would restore its cost. However, this title is quite in line with its bandit character.
