Chapter 22: (2)
..
The General was dumbfounded and speechless, as he witnessed the explosion of the dragon from the observation platform. Next to him, Brutus was calmly sorting out the situations.
Initially, the enemy had attacked the dragon with small-scale magic. It was an unknown magic that was far inferior to the tornado from earlier, but still by no means weak. Explosions erupted throughout the dragons body, destroying its tough natural armor. It lasted for a while, before eventually the dragon was defeated with a large explosion.
Most likely the enemy had immediately noticed that the dragon was no ordinary dragon. They first gauged its strength with small attacks, and before long decided to finish it in a single attack, using the least amount of power necessary.
Those monsters possessed mighty power, for sure, but they didnt seem to be conceited by it. If they had been conceited about it, she might be able to derive a new strategy to deal with them based on it. But that plan had fragilely fallen apart. Those monsters were fighting in a calm and precisely judged manner.
Brutus was once again reminded of how tricky those monsters were. But she also noticed something. The fact that they were fighting efficiently meant that there was a high possibility that they were suppressing their power because there was a limit to their power. She thought it might indeed be a good idea to aim at shaving off the enemys magical energy, as she had originally planned. However, the problem was the explosive magic from earlier. She had a feeling that those monsters would be able to get through a series of battles with 30 dragons with ease with this magic.
After pondering about it for a while, Brutus changed her approach. It was because she had judged that there werent enough dragons to deplete their magical energy. In that case, she would leverage the dragons mighty vitality by challenging those monsters into a melee battle. By facing them at a close range, shed be able to seal their powerful magic. To do so, however, she had to get the dragons to get close to them first.
Brutus turned all the dragons, which were attacking the Alliance armies from the sky, toward the monsters. She then had the dragons to circle around at a distance that was out of range of the tornado that was previously unleashed. First, she let four dragons to approach those monsters from all directions at the shortest distance and fastest speed possible.
If any of them managed to reach those monsters, then that would be good in itself. And if the enemy decided to unleash a powerful magic, shed launch a second wave at the right moment. It should take a while to unleash such a powerful magic, even for those monsters. No matter what it took, she was determined to bring this battle against those monsters into a close range. This was the conclusion Brutus had arrived at.
Oioi, whats going on here? There are dragons coming our way again. Moreover, they seem to be up to something.
Kaku-san was alarmed, as he watched the dragons circling around Tanaka and co. from a distance.
But then again, I feel that something isnt quite right here. They dont seems like ordinary dragons at all.
Kaku-sans knowledge and experience let him realize the abnormality of the dragons.
Dragons were quite intelligent, indeed, but they werent supposed to have the ability to move in such a neat manner. Most importantly, their movements were much better than those of ordinary dragons.
Sensing the mood, Tanaka responded.
Yeah, Ive noticed it too. Those dragon theyre sick, arent they?
