Reincarnated as a Red Dragon, Discipline Makes Me Stronger!

Chapter 55: Dragon-Vanquishing Bolt? It Can’t Hurt Me at All!!

Max was rapidly approaching the Dragon-vanquishing Ballista!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Although 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.

Dorian took a deep breath as his heart thumped rapidly.

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

Otherwise, 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.

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

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

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

‘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?’

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

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

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

Calsus glanced at an extremely luxurious carriage not far away.

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

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

After 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.

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

Calsus 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.

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

Either 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!

With 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!

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

400 meters!

300 meters!

200 meters!!!

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

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

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

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

“Roar!”

Max let out a deafening dragon roar!

The 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!

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

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

On 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!

Dorian had to endure it! action

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

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

This had nothing to do with strength or status.

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

150 meters!

100 meters!!!

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

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

This 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!

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

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

“Fire!”

Dorian 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.

Ka-cha!

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

Creak!

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

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

Its target was Max’s head!

All the soldiers present held their breaths!

They 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!

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

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

It was a majestic, almost sacred aura!

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

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

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

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

Kzzzzzz!

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

Dong!

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

Max was completely unscathed!

Hiss!

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