I, a mercenary, became a beautiful silver-haired boy

Chapter 422

The days in the fortress passed quickly, and a week passed in the blink of an eye.

During this week, the adventurers worked very hard to defeat the monsters. During this period, they cleaned up all the wandering monsters.

It's not that the adventurers have good professional ethics. They still work diligently even when they encounter such treatment. They just want to leave this hell place as soon as possible.

Get rid of the ice dragon as soon as possible and go back to live a free and easy adventurer life. Staying here for one more day means suffering for one more day. No one wants to stay here any longer.

The situation is almost mature. The day to defeat the ice dragon is set for tomorrow. At that time, Robert will lead his team and follow the adventurers into the woods to find the injured ice dragon to defeat it.

Before that, you need to ensure the preparation of equipment. If you want to defeat a behemoth like the ice dragon, you can't rely on recklessness alone.

Tactics and equipment are indispensable. If you are not prepared for such an enemy, you will die.

To be precise, Robert prepared weapons for the Winter Fortress, including two huge cannons and two giant siege crossbows, at a high price.

The special cannons were also made by the dwarves, using special ammunition to burn a large amount of gunpowder. The shells fired were enough to cause a lot of damage. Even the dragon with hard scales could hardly withstand such a bombardment.

The siege crossbows made by craftsmen in the city overnight used crossbow arrows comparable to ordinary siege spears, and the bowstrings made of special monster materials were very elastic and strong.

When the crossbow arrows were fired, even the walls of the hard fortress could not withstand the terrifying penetration. If the dragon's body was hit by such an arrow, it would definitely not be fatal, but the hard scales would definitely fall off.

The tactics were a bit simple and crude, even rough, letting the adventurers stand in front to attract firepower, and then the soldiers fired the four siege weapons.

After wounding the dragon, they poured out firepower, firing as if the ammunition was free, suppressing the firepower regardless of the cost.

No matter how strong the dragon is, it may not be able to withstand such a dense attack.

This plan can only be said to be really unfair to the adventurers. Robert doesn't care about the occupational assignment at all. As long as they are adventurers, they will be directly treated as meat shields and rushed to the front to attract firepower.

The adventurers naturally have opinions on this, but Robert shuts them up with a word of "get out if you don't want to do it". After all, this is the glory of crusading the dragon. No matter how dangerous it is, as long as they succeed and survive, what awaits them is money and wealth.

Few people can quit halfway under the temptation of such interests. To be honest, they have already dared to cause trouble for the dragon. It can be said that there are no cowards staying in this fortress.

Each of them is a master who will not cry until he sees the coffin. Before really facing the ice dragon, I am afraid no one will temporarily retreat.

After this simple recollection, the adventurers who had not seen each other for a long time today did not have to work. They relaxed and adjusted their states so that they could adjust their states to the best when they attacked the ice dragon tomorrow.

Elena stood on the wall of the fortress. It was not known whether Robert was kind or simply regarded them as dying people, and actually opened such a place to the adventurers.

With the mentality of standing high and looking far, Elena walked to the wall to relax.

To be honest, he was in a complicated and uneasy mood now. He always felt that the plan made by Robert was a little too idealistic. Would the ice dragon really be killed by them so easily according to the plan?

Although Elena was a half-dragon, he actually did not know much about real dragons, nor did he know how strong an ordinary dragon was.

But he just felt that things were not so simple. Even if the dragon itself was seriously injured, it would be much easier to deal with than usual.

The main reason why Elena was so uneasy was that the Principality and the Adventurer's Guild did not pay much attention to this crusade mission.

It's fine to send a place like Winter Fortress, which is unreliable in all situations, to fight the dragon, but the adventurers summoned didn't even have a gold medal.

To put it bluntly, this time the expedition team is just a bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and they are completely unworthy even if they are fighting against a wounded dragon.

Elena felt that they were like a vanguard death squad, mainly to explore the strength of the ice dragon. The Principality and the Adventurer's Guild themselves never thought that they could get rid of this ice dragon.

This made Elena very dissatisfied. There was always a feeling of being called to die. Isn't the Adventurer's Guild here too irresponsible?

Just when Elena was worried, Fili came up without knowing when., looking at Elena's slightly melancholy back, her mood also seemed a little subtle.

During this week, the two of them can be said to be the couple who get along the most. Every time Fili goes to patrol the village, she always invites Elena, and Elena has never refused Fili's invitation.

The relationship can be said to have become closer during this week. At least in Fili's eyes, she and Elena are already good friends.

But she didn't dare to confirm with Elena. What if the other party didn't think so? Fili felt that she would be hit so hard that she couldn't get up again.

"Elena, what are you thinking about?"

Finally, Fili couldn't stand this silent atmosphere. She took the initiative to walk over and asked Elena what she was thinking at the moment. She always felt that Elena was a little unhappy today.

"What? It turned out to be you, Fili? Next time, don't speak suddenly behind me. I was really scared."

The distracted Elena didn't notice the approach of the person behind him. Fili scared him directly when she spoke.

He covered his chest and calmed down, but the worry on his face still couldn't be eliminated.

"It's really unlike you to be scared by such a small movement."

This surprised Fili. Elena usually looked calm, but now she was scared by such a small action.

That means Elena didn't notice her at all just now, and she could have taken this opportunity to do something bad.

Fili's face couldn't help but blush when she thought about it. She didn't understand why she had such an idea. Was she so fond of playing pranks?

Fili felt that she was becoming less and less like herself. Since Elena came, she seemed to have become sentimental.

"Maybe I'm not in a good state. After all, I'm going to fight the ice dragon tomorrow. Maybe I'm a little nervous." Elena said lightly. He was definitely nervous, but what really made him uneasy was that he was not sure about such a thing.
