Chapter 34 The Knight King of the Empire
Two days later, in the early morning, Li Yuan woke up suddenly in the cellar.
"My lord..."
As soon as Shitou's voice appeared, Li Yuan interrupted him: "I already know."
What is supposed to come will still come.
With the further restoration of the tower, the surveillance range of [Watcher] has now expanded to a radius of three to four kilometers.
Nothing happened in the past two days, there was no movement on the empire side, not even a scout came.
Fortunately, Li Yuan had never relaxed his vigilance. Now he clearly felt that there were many intruders at the border of the surveillance range. From the perspective, they were facing the Imperial Longkou Fortress.
"There really are air units."
After projecting the [Watcher], Li Yuan found that many of the invasion targets were in the air. Judging from their outlines, they should be bipedal flying dragons.
The empire's so-called domesticated dragon creatures include not only land dragons, but also bipedal flying dragons. Li Yuan had already heard this information from Zhen Na.
Wyverns are known as one of the sub-dragon creatures closest to true dragons. Like true dragons, they have wings that can soar into the sky, but they do not have extra forelimbs, but have hook-like claws at the joints of their wings.
.
The cost of domesticating a flying dragon is very high. In the Imperial Knights, only the most elite knights can be selected to become the flying dragon cavalry.
There are five bipedal flying dragons, three of which are riding knights, and the other two bipedal flying dragons just follow the leading flying dragon on both sides.
On the ground, there were six knights on horseback.
Five dragon mounts, one legendary warrior leading eight knights, or a coordinated attack from both the air and the ground?
"Ha, you quite respect me."
Although Li Yuan had long thought that this wave of battle would definitely surpass Heinrich's team, this battle was still slightly beyond his imagination.
He focused his attention on the array of flying dragons marching in formation in the sky, and the [Watcher] projected the specific picture.
He saw three knights on the backs of flying dragons, two of whom were carrying dragon-hunting ballistae that he had seen. The leading knight riding on the back of the largest flying dragon was wrapped in a suit of unique style.
armor, and the only weapon in his hand was a long sword.
In [Watcher's] danger assessment, the other knights and the flying dragons all had a green aura, while the leading knight was surrounded by a rich black aura.
Black means that the target's strength is far greater than that of the tower owner. If you fight with it, you will have a narrow escape!
Today, Li Yuan has evolved to the level of a mature dragon with the restoration of the Endless Tower.
To be able to open such a huge gap in combat power with a mature red dragon, there is no doubt that he is the top powerhouse in the legendary realm - the blade of the Iron-Blooded Princess and the Empire's Knight King Lucio!
That black aura made Li Yuan feel the dangerous aura rushing towards his face. Fighting spirit and fear surged up at the same time, causing him to instinctively let out a low roar from his throat.
"Please give the order, my lord." Shitou appeared and half-knelt in front of Li Yuan.
"According to the previously discussed plan to meet the enemy, the Endless Tower enters an emergency state and operates at full power. You go to resist the targets on the ground, and I will deal with the ones in the air. Don't let anyone get close to the Endless Tower! Prepare all means of interception,
Follow my instructions!" Li Yuan quickly issued the order.
When the dragon is there, the tower is there; when the tower is gone, the dragon is gone.
His destiny is bound to the Endless Tower. In this world, he has no way out and can only fight to the bitter end!
"clear!"
After Shitou finished speaking, his body suddenly began to expand and turned into a big man of about 1.9 meters. At the same time, two slightly slender stone men appeared beside him. They turned around and quickly put on their clothes and put them in the cellar.
Those knight equipment in the corner.
In the Temple of the Sun on the fifth floor, Zhenna was doing morning exercises with a big sword and shield. Suddenly, she found that the Endless Tower began to tremble slightly, and a bell-like sound came from the walls and floor.
This is the signal for the Endless Tower to enter a state of emergency.
She opened her eyes in surprise and understood immediately.
Li Yuan appeared at the entrance of the corridor and met her eyes.
"It's Lucio." Li Yuan only gave such a brief explanation.
"I understand." Zhenna nodded, turned around and went to her room to put on her armor.
In the past two days, they have done a lot of simulations and preparations for the battle together.
And now, the time has finally come for them to join hands in fighting for survival.
------------------
Lucio saw flames erupting from the broken tower from a distance, and a red dragon suddenly appeared.
Then, the red dragon flew into the sky and rushed straight towards them.
With a distance of more than two kilometers, the red dragon noticed their group of intruders in advance.
Lucio was not surprised by this. After learning that the three outstanding spies went to the red dragon's lair and lost contact, he guessed that the owner here had some powerful means of sensing the surroundings.
Since even master-level assassins couldn't get close, he stopped sending scouts to kill him and directly led the entire army to launch an assault from the front.
His strength gives him such a simple and crude qualification.
As a legendary warrior, he has long-distance visual acuity that is not inferior to that of a falcon.
From this distance, he could see every detail of the red dragon.
He immediately discovered two problems.
One is that according to the intelligence obtained from various sources, it is shown that the red dragon Kujia entrenched here is just a red dragon that has just grown up.
But no matter how you look at this red dragon's physique and the color of its scales, it has reached the level of a mature man who is over two hundred years old.
He is one of the most experienced dragon slayers in the empire, and he is quite confident in his judgment in this regard.
Is there an error in the intelligence? Or has this mature red dragon replaced Kujia as the master here?
A mature red dragon that was cunning and strong enough could indeed overturn Heinrich's team.
Fortunately, this deviation does not matter to him.
Opponents below Gu Long are all the same to him.
In comparison, the figure he saw riding on the back of the red dragon was more worthy of his attention.
"Your Highness Jeena?"
He recognized at a glance that the man was wearing Zhenna's rune heavy armor, and then put on the standard helmet of an ordinary knight.
The little princess of the empire, Jeanne, neither died nor fled to other places.
She has been hiding in the red dragon's lair, but now she stands up and fights alongside the red dragon.
Lucio has fought seven dragons and killed four dragons in his life. This is the first time he has seen a real dragon willing to let humans ride on his back and fight side by side with humans.
He didn't know why the red dragon let Princess Zhenna go and was willing to fight alongside her, but in this way, the destruction of Heinrich's team finally had a fully reasonable explanation.
It doesn't matter anymore.
He tightened his grip on the sword in his hand. Whether it was an adult red dragon, a mature red dragon, or a master-level paladin, they were all the same in front of him!
When the distance between the two parties narrowed to 500 meters, the red dragon spoke first, letting out a roar that penetrated the clouds and cracked rocks, and the majestic dragon power was released from him.
"Go away!!" Li Yuan issued an order to expel the flying dragons in dragon language.
With the power of the dragon and the roar of the dragon, even if the knights can survive with willpower, the bipedal dragons as sub-dragons will never be able to withstand this kind of instinctive suppression. They will fall into an uncontrollable panic, completely destroying the flying array.
Collapse.
But at this time, Lucio on the back of the flying dragon also raised his sword high and let out a long roar.
It was clearly a human roar, but it was as deafening as the roar of thunder. It was as powerful as a dragon's roar.
Hearing this war cry, passionate fighting spirit rose in the eyes of other knights and wyverns.
The warrior's "fearless battle cry" can dispel his own fear and enter a state of high morale before fighting, and at the same time has a strong deterrent effect on the enemy.
With Lucio's legendary level, his war cry can cover an entire army loyal to him, and can even work on domesticated animals that are willing to listen to his orders.
And its deterrent effect is not inferior to the roar of the ancient dragon.
