nMax was rapidly approaching the Dragon-vanquishing Ballista!

nAt this moment, the squad that was in charge of the ballista was none other than the Iron Maiden Squad.

nThe leader of the squad, Dorian, was aiming directly at Max’s direction.

nMax showed no signs of dodging. Instead, he charged straight at the ballista without a care in the world!

n“This Red Dragon is truly fearless. It dares underestimate the power of the Dragon-vanquishing Ballista?”

n“Does the word ‘death’, not exist in its vocabulary?!”

n“Even if we were to miss its vitals, the penetrating power of the Dragon-vanquishing Bolts would immediately take it out of battle!”

n“Indeed. Let us enjoy the despair of this Red Dragon that is about to lose its life!”

nAt this moment, several of the soldiers beside the Iron Maiden Squad gloated happily.

n

n

nOn the other hand, Dorian’s forehead was drenched in sweat.

nAlthough the Dragon-vanquishing Ballista was very powerful, its greatest downfall had always been aiming it properly. After all, a powerful weapon needed a worthy owner to realize its strength as well.

nDorian took a deep breath as his heart thumped rapidly.

nFortunately, the dragon was stupid and made no attempts to dodge the Dragon-vanquishing Ballista.

nOtherwise, should he miss his first shot, it would also most likely be his last, as everyone in a 50-meter radius would perish to the Dragon Hatchling.

nDorian glanced at the soldiers who were sneering at the dragon, and he cursed them a thousands times in his heart.

n‘Do you know how hard it is to operate this contraption?’

n‘If I miss here, not only will I die, but all of you guys as well!’

n‘Even now, all of you still look like you’re fooling around. Could it be that you’re not here to fight, but to brag instead?’

nAt this moment, Max had already entered the range of the Dragon-vanquishing Ballista!

nAt the same time, the three of generals who were rushing back were also clammy with sweat.

nShould the Iron Maiden Squad fail here, the soldiers in the vicinity of the ballista would suffer heavy casualities!

nCalsus glanced at an extremely luxurious carriage not far away.

nUpon realizing that Max was still maintaining a safe distance from the carriage, he slowly let out a sigh of relief.

nHe did not want the individual resting in the carriage to be disturbed in any way.

nAfter all, the individual residing within the carriage was their greatest trump card in this dragon-slaying crusade. Calsus had been ordered, that unless absolutely necessary, the individual within the carriage must not be disturbed.

nEven if 80% of the lives on the scene were sacrificed, the individual must not be disturbed.

nCalsus knew very little about the person within the carriage. However, after following the old king for so many years, he knew not to doubt the serious expression in his eyes.

nCalsus was certain once the individual in the carriage made a move, it would definitely extol a heavy price!

nEither the kingdom would lose their connection to this individual once and for all, or the kingdom would need to pay a high cost in material goods!

nWith the Great War only just recently resolved, the nation’s resources were at their lowest point ever. There was no way Calsus would jeopardize the nation’s rebuilding process all because of a Dragon Hatchling!

nAt this moment, the distance between Max and the ballista was only a mere 500 meters!

n400 meters!

n300 meters!

n200 meters!!!

nMax’s extreme speed brought about a hurricane, and it instilled a heavy pressure on the surrounding soldiers.

nIn comparison to the awe-inspiring Max, they felt as if they were insignificant specks of microorganisms.

nMax, on the other hand, was like a high and mighty god that held full authority over their fate.

nIf Max was serious, he could instantly slaughter them where they stood!

n“Roar!”

nMax let out a deafening dragon roar!

nThe soldiers present who did not cover their ears either went deaf or bled from their seven orifices. That was just how powerful and debilitating Max’s dragon roar was!

nEven though Dorian’s heart was about to jump out, he still refused to fire.

nThis was because even though Max was already close by, it was not a distance in which the bolt was guaranteed to land.

nOn the other hand, once Max entered 100 meters within the Dragon-vanquishing Ballista’s range, he was guaranteed to perish, as he would be struck with enough firepower to bring down even Ancient Dragons!

nDorian had to endure it!

nEven if he had to pay the price with his life!

nIn the distance, when Felix saw this scene, a hint of respect flashed in the depths of his eyes.

nThis had nothing to do with strength or status.

nInstead, it was a soldier’s highest respect for another soldier who had chosen to sacrifice himself!

n150 meters!

n100 meters!!!

nAt this moment, Max finally stepped into the Dragon-vanquishing Ballista’s critical region!

nOnce in the critical region, even Ancient Dragons would not be able to escape death!

nThis was the crystallization of mankind’s most advanced technology. Every single Dragon-vanquishing Ballista was an invention that had cost countless amount of blood and sweat to make!

nThe raw materials required to craft the ballistae were made out of dragon body parts, after all!

nBehind Dorian, the other members of the Iron Maiden Squad steeled their resolve and worked together to loosen the safety lock of the ballista!

n“Fire!”

nDorian no longer had to suppress the fear in his heart. His pupils had already shrunk to a small dot as he turned around and roared loudly.

nKa-cha!

nThe button to fire the ballista had been pressed at this moment!

nCreak!

nThe sound of steel being compressed rang out from the Dragon-vanquishing Ballista!

nIn the next moment, a massive jet black bolt of death was fired outwards!

nIts target was Max’s head!

nAll the soldiers present held their breaths!

nThey did not doubt the power of the Dragon-vanquishing Ballista. At such a close distance, they were certain that it would easily pierce through Max and instantly kill him!

nEven though everything had happened in a split second, to the onlookers, it felt like a year had just gone by!

nAt this moment, a faint golden aura enveloped Max’s body!

nIt was a majestic, almost sacred aura!

nAt the same time, the Dragon-vanquishing Bolt that the humans were so proud of struck the center of Max’s head!

n

n

nBetween his brows, and behind the skull, was Max’s brain!

nAny weapon that destroyed Max’s brain would definitely kill him on the spot!

nDespite the firepower contained within the bolt, it had no way of piercing Max’s skull that was no thicker than a human fist!

nKzzzzzz!

nThe ear-piercing sound of metal colliding against Max’s skull rang out!

nDong!

nHowever, at long last, only a bent Dragon-vanquishing Bolt remained in front of Max.

nMax was completely unscathed!

nHiss!

nEveryone present, including Calsus, Felix and Gallio, gasped!
