Chapter 506: Chapter 479: Siege

The Oduin Kingdom’s Noble Alliance Army assumed an attack formation. Their Magic Energy Cannons were arranged in a row, and several powerful Knights of Meteor Level and above stood dispersed at the front lines to prevent enemy cannon fire from striking their position. In the sky, dozens of Griffin Knights circled, awaiting the command to charge.

A fully armored Garrett clutched the reins in his hands. He could almost see victory beckoning to him. Soon, he would return to Golden Feather City, bearing the glory of cleansing the Oduin Clan’s shame.

Time slowly passed. Finally, at two in the afternoon, Garrett drew his Longsword. Violet Thunderous Fighting Qi shot toward the heavens as he roared, "Launch the attack!"

A roar like that of a ferocious tiger echoed across the entire battlefield. The Knights and soldiers let out furious bellows of their own, their war cries swelling.

Just then, a massive shadow swept in from their rear, rapidly crossing the battlefield and flying toward the battlements of Mist City.

The Giant Dragon’s aura spread out, striking fear into the hearts of the enemy, yet it fired up their own troops as if they’d been shot full of adrenaline.

Carlos’s enormous wings blotted out the sun. Flame Breath surged forth, washing over the city wall below like magma pouring down from the sky.

At that moment, a cyan-blue curtain of light appeared above the city wall, raising a barrier to resist the onslaught of the Flame Breath.

Standing on the Giant Dragon’s back, Ronin saw this unfold clearly.

’That should be the Wall of Sighs and a Frost Barrier. The Mages here are a cut above the ones at Watchtower Castle. The strength of Carlos’s Flame Breath lies in its wide area of effect, so its focused power is somewhat diminished. It’s not surprising another Sixth-level Magic could defend against it.’

"Hit them with an Ice Arrow. Let them have a taste of a proper ice spike," he said.

"Yes, Master!"

Carlos stopped breathing fire, his massive body making a nimble turn in the air as he dove back in for another attack.

Water Elements coalesced frantically within his mouth. In an instant, a cone-shaped Ice Arrow fully ten meters long formed and shot down from the sky at incredible speed.

BOOM!

A tremendous roar echoed as the Ice Arrow shattered the defensive Magic without any resistance. It slammed into the city wall, blasting a massive gap straight through it.

At the same time, fragments from the explosion shot out in all directions, piercing the Guards’ flesh like bullets and leaving a swath of dead and wounded in their wake.

’A Giant Dragon... what a powerful siege weapon!’

Watching the scene unfold, even Garrett had to admit the Giant Dragon’s incredible power.

The others felt the same. When facing a Giant Dragon, unless you could attack it directly, you were forced onto the defensive.

But the battlefield was on the defenders’ home turf. The slightest carelessness could lead to devastating losses from the Giant Dragon’s attacks, while they, as the aggressors, had no such anxieties.

"Magic Energy Cannons, prepare!"

Garrett shouted the command. The Silver and Golden Knights, already in position, immediately began to pour their Fighting Qi into the Magic Energy Cannons, unleashing a heavy bombardment.

Lights also flared atop the battlements of Mist City, but their defensive posture was far less impressive than that of the Alliance Army.

The ceaseless booming was like rolling thunder. Ronin and Carlos ascended high into the sky; his part in the opening salvo was over, and now he could rest.

The enemy had mounted a defense, but their forces were weak. After four or five volleys from the Noble Alliance Army’s bombardment, the top of the city wall was essentially paralyzed.

Only two or three of the enemy’s Magic Energy Cannon shots landed within the Alliance Army’s formation, resulting in few casualties among the Knights.

If this was the extent of their resistance, Mist City was sure to fall.

BOOM!

The bombardment lasted for several minutes. As the final Magic Energy Cannon blast erupted against the city wall, Garrett raised his Longsword high and roared the command to charge. Led by Ridder, Ibn, and others, the Knights swiftly crossed the battlefield and arrived at the foot of the wall.

The walls of Mist City were a full thirty meters high, but Silver Moon Knights could take to the air, making such a height no obstacle at all.

As Ridder and the others mounted the battlements, the siege instantly became a one-sided battle.

Before long, the city gates were thrown open, and the Knights of the Noble Alliance Army were the first to charge inside.

’There aren’t any Silver Moon Knights garrisoned here.’

Ronin, observing the battle from the sky, immediately felt that something was wrong.

’According to our intelligence, besides Count Ural, there should be two other Silver Moon Knights in Mist City. Yet now, in the face of the Noble Alliance Army’s assault, there isn’t a single one of them to be seen. Could something have happened in the Tricia Kingdom? Something so urgent that even a Border Count like Ural was forced to abandon his fief and take his elite forces to reinforce Giant Dragon City?’

Seeing that the Noble Alliance Army had already breached the city and was engaged in fierce combat with Mist City’s Knight Order, Ronin lingered no longer, turning and flying toward the West Gate.

With a single beat of his wings, Carlos began to dive, crossing several thousand meters in an instant.

At that very moment, an ear-splitting whistle screamed through the air, instantly putting Ronin on high alert.

PFFT!

A two-meter-long black Long Spear shot up from below like an Arrow, slamming into Carlos’s abdomen with considerable force.

The impact of metal on Dragon Scale sent dazzling sparks flying and produced a deafening shriek of scraping.

Carlos’s massive body shuddered. He roared, "Master, I’m under attack!"

"Climb!"

Ronin ordered in a low voice. At the same time, his Spiritual Power swept downward, and to his astonishment, he detected sixteen figures soaring up from below, heading straight for him!

’What are these things? Sixteen Silver Moon Knights? No, that’s not right. Silver Moon Knights can’t possibly be this fast!’

Ronin’s heart sank. ’So, Mist City wasn’t unprepared after all. Is this what you’d call luring your enemy into a trap?’

His mood for watching the show from above vanished. He instantly cast Light Body Skill and Rapid Speed on Carlos to accelerate their ascent, simultaneously tracing the complex Magic Patterns for Wind Shadow Skill.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The piercing whistle sounded again. This time, six Long Spears shot up. Because of the close range, their incredible speed, and Carlos’s massive frame, all of them found their mark.

Although Carlos’s Dragon Scales were incredibly tough, these attackers’ Long Spears were clearly not made of any ordinary material. They actually pierced through the scales, drawing Dragon’s blood!

"ROAR!"

Spurred by the pain, the Giant Dragon spewed a torrent of Flame Breath, showering it down below like a river falling from the sky.

"You think mere Flame can harm me?"

A resonant voice rang out from below. Grand General Aluba swept his Longsword, actually slicing the pouring flames in two. He shot through the resulting gap in the fire, finally reaching a position level with Ronin.

At the same time, five more figures shot upward, surrounding Ronin and Carlos.

Behind them, another ten people followed in close pursuit.

These people all shared a common feature: huge, fleshy wings grew from their backs. These wings were covered in dense, intricate black patterns, giving them a sinister and horrifying appearance.

This was the result of receiving the "baptism" of the Storm Divine Envoy, which allowed Knights with the Wind Attribute to grow wings and gain the ability to fly. And their flight speed was nothing to scoff at.

This flock of winged "Birdmen" often called themselves the Celestial God Race, but their appearance was nauseating.

"Heh, minions of the Storm Divine Envoy."

Ronin sneered, "I was wondering why no one was defending the walls. Turns out you were all here, lying in wait for me!"

Aluba laughed. "Mist City may fall, but we can always take it back later. Compared to that, the opportunity to slay a Dragon is something that simply cannot wait."

"Oh? And you’re that confident?"

"Ronin, there are only two paths before you: either hand over the Giant Dragon and kneel to us in submission, or be killed by our hands!"

Ronin gripped his Flowing Flame Sword as intense flames erupted from the blade.

SWOOSH!

He shot across the sky like a Meteor, appearing before Aluba in an instant. As he brought his sword down, the very Fire Elements between heaven and earth churned in response.

"I choose the third path—to strike you all down and kill you, right here and now!"
