Chapter 325 - 231: This is Victory!

In this world, the Dragon Breath of most of the Dragon Clan does not have a very long range, because it is, after all, something sprayed out from their lungs. Among all the Dragon Clan, the White Dragon has the longest Dragon Breath, because it is light and can reach anywhere it can see. There is a type of dragon called the Haze Dragon whose Dragon Breath has the shortest range, as it can only create a dangerous toxic haze in the area around its body.

Bajie’s Dragon Breath is quite special, it can actually generate molten iron in its own Dragon Breath lungs, creating extremely powerful conditions for attack from the sky.

The hot molten iron falls, causing massive damage even for the Dragon Knights it hits, for it is iron water filled with Dragon Power. Not to mention, those operating the crossbows are just a bunch of ordinary soldiers.

Immediately, those soldiers scattered and fled. The crossbows made of metal heated up, deformed, and even corroded and damaged in the Dragon Breath iron water!

Don’t forget, Bajie is a hybrid of a Black Dragon! His Dragon Breath is corrosive!

Wood burns atop of the iron water, and under the great shadows, the battlefield becomes a sea of fire in a flash.

Seeing the crossbow positions being destroyed, the Dragon Knights of the White Dragon Empire charged up, and the defensive troops of the Black Dragon Empire quickly retreated. Behind the White Dragon Empire, the Dragon Knights of the army also led the Vanguards on their way.

"Charge! Kill all these Black Dragon bastards!"

A long-suppressed desire finally unleashed, every soldier of the White Dragon Empire was extremely excited!

Under Long Yi’s leadership, the White Dragon Empire forcefully pressed forward twenty miles before stopping!

It’s not that they didn’t want to proceed further, but they truly could not.

"Bajie just evolved, he drained all the energy in my body, it’s already pretty good that I can pretend to wield my sword to intimidate them!" Long Yi explained with a bitter smile.

As it turned out, at the moment of evolution, Long Yi was on Bajie’s back. Bajie absorbed a large amount of nutrients during the evolution process. Normally, the carcasses of the nine giant dragons nearby should be enough for Bajie to absorb, but Long Yi, the unlucky dragon, was the closest to Bajie. So, in order to prevent being absorbed as nourishment, Long Yi had to exert all his strength to protect himself. The power of a dragon’s evolution was so strong that, in the end, Long Yi was completely drained of energy!

Of course, this is just one of the reasons.

A more important reason is still to come.

Supply logistics could not keep up at all.

War is first a contest of logistics then a contest of soldiers. Winning a battle is easy, but winning countless battles in succession, and ultimately winning a war, is not that simple.

Before the troops can move, the provisions have to be in place: this is a saying that Long Yi knows very well. Back in the day, when he was a fighter pilot, without the endless supply of missiles and fuel from the rear, he would not be able to destroy so many enemies in the air no matter how desperate his efforts.

The problem now is that the logistics of the White Dragon Empire never expected that the White Dragon Empire would not just win so quickly, but also advance into the territory of the Black Dragon Empire.

The logistics supplies were having problems, and the vanguard was very concerned. They asked the rear command if they should retreat a bit, but the superior’s order quickly came down: what goes in must not come out.

That day, the Empire added three cargo holds to their only large flying ship, and assembled fifty Dragon Knights who were on vacation to provide energy for the airship. This enabled them to supply the frontlines with enough supplies to sustain them for half a month directly and without stopping.

In half a month, the real logistical supplies would arrive.

The front line, in the midst of the battlefield, is also the camp.

The Air Force personnel were huddled together eating. The rear had brought a lot of fresh food, with plenty of meat and vegetables. There was even a lot of alcohol, which the soldiers greatly enjoyed.

Long Yi and Ai Lin were sitting together, with Bajie and Xiaoyou occupying Long Yi’s shoulders on both sides. The resting Bajie was not much bigger than Xiaoyou. The two dragons were fighting over a piece of meat, and Long Yi seized the opportunity to suddenly bite into it, resulting in the meat ending up in Long Yi’s mouth. The two little dragons were immediately dissatisfied and bit at Long Yi.

Of course, they were just playing.

Next, a face resembling that of the second prince appeared in front of Long Yi.

"Long Yi, I’ve heard of your reputation. I am Sapu-Kandela, deputy commander of the army."

Said the middle-aged man wearing an army uniform, with a face full of weather-beaten traces.

"Hello, uncle, oh no, Your Highness First Prince." Long Yi said.

Yes, this man was the First Prince who, at a young age, had hidden in the army.

"Actually, I’m not that old." Sapu said embarrassly.

"Okay, brother..." Long Yi did not mean to offend, but this First Prince really did look old. His dark face, full of fine lines around it, added to the several fresh and old scars on his face, he shared the same look as the veteran soldiers around him.

"On behalf of all the frontline soldiers, I sincerely thank you and Miss Ailin for your help. Of course, also Elsa who’s just left us. Without you, the White Dragon Empire would truly be hanging by a thread." Sapu said.

"Left us..." Long Yi found this phrase very uncomfortable.

"Ah, I’m sorry, I’m not very good at communicating with words, but they all wanted me to thank you..." Long Yi could see the embarrassment in Sapu’s eyes. This mature young man was really not good at talking.

"It’s okay, don’t worry about it. Actually, you didn’t say anything wrong. But you and Kirei, being brothers, are quite different. You know, Kirei is a grandmaster of jokes." Long Yi said.

"Grand Master of jokes?" Sapu was somewhat confused.

"Yes, he even told me a joke. It was about a spotted dog!" As Long Yi spoke, he felt an urge to laugh. Little Zi on the side immediately followed up, ready to cast a Fear spell on Long Yi’s head at any moment.

"The Dalmatian story? Is it the one I told him?" Sapu said.

"You told it to him? Could you perhaps retell it? I really want to hear the original author’s version!" Long Yi exclaimed with excitement, his facial muscles even prepped for laughter.

"Tell it now?"

"Yes!"

"Go ahead and tell us! With the First Prince here, we all want to hear it!" Various Air Force Division warriors began to chime in. Although the First Prince had always been present, the army and air force seldom congregated. Furthermore, no one had ever heard of the notoriously reticent First Prince telling jokes.

"Well... Actually, this is a story I saw with my own eyes. There was a Dalmatian..."

The First Prince Sapu started telling his story, and everyone was listening quietly. Until the end of the story, no laughter could be heard. Even Long Yi’s smile had become frozen on his face.

"The story... word for word..." Long Yi exclaimed with despair.

"Uh ..." Crown Prince Sapu gazed at Long Yi in puzzlement, while Long Yi was already collapsing inside.

"Why! Why is it not funny at all!"

Yes, word for word, not a single difference, but it was completely unfunny! Long Yi couldn’t find any humorous elements in it!

"It’s not a joke to begin with..." Crown Prince Sapu said.

"Cough, cough, it must be because I’m exhausted, or perhaps I’m not listening to the story correctly. Saying this, Long Yi specifically recalled how he had listened to the second prince’s story before, then he changed his position."

"Crown Prince, I implore you, please tell it again."

Crown Prince Sapu went on to retell the story. Long Yi fell into complete despair after that.

"Little Zi, I’m finished, my sense of humor has completely died, I’m going to become a dull old man."

With a vacant look in his eyes, Long Yi raised his head to gaze at the sky, tears coursing down his cheeks, as he mumbled, "In what shape can I meet Elsa in heaven now!"

"Brother Long, don’t say such ominous things!"

Little Zi yelled out loud.

At that moment.

At that precise moment.

The most marvelous city in the heavenly realm, the Heavenly Palace, was experiencing the happiest moment in more than a decade.

The emperor’s youngest daughter of the Celestial Clan, a princess born with light wings, had returned to the Heavenly Palace from the Lower Plane after being missing for more than ten years!

For this, the Celestial Clan Emperor issued a pardon, at the same time commanded measures for tax relief to celebrate. Hence, the entire Heavenly Realm fell into unprecedented revelry.

But within this joyful atmosphere, only one person couldn’t get excited.

Selena, Elsa’s second sister, dubbed the most outstanding prodigy of the Celestial Clan, a month after Elsa disappeared, grew pure white light wings --the symbol of the royal bloodline-- when she was just nine.

All Celestials have wings, different colors represent different strengths and bloodlines. Only the color white represents the royal family, and only light wings signify the greatest power of the royals.

From then on, Selena was seen as the heir to the throne.

The Upper Plane is a general term, it connects with countless planes, where countless stars and various creatures come and go. But only the Heavenly Realm remained ever prosperous. When the Giants created various forms of life, the Celestial Clan was one of them. The Giants showered enough love on the Celestial Clan, taught them knowledge, granted them power. Hence, the Celestial Clan has been able to flourish amidst the turbulence of the Upper Plane.

As the ruler of this prosperous world, the Emperor of the Heavenly Realm wields supreme authority.

Selena dreamt of sitting on the throne almost every day, and in reality, that day was not far away.

But, Elsa has reappeared again!

How could this be?!

I thought for sure ...

Selena trembled, the light from her wings inexplicably flickered, and, at the same time, a faint pain stirred in her chest. Selena lowered her head, clutching her chest; her dignified expression gradually appeared twisted.

"After all these years, still defiant against me..." Selena stretched out her hand, dagger-like rays of light appeared on her five fingers. Then she suddenly withdrew her hand, stabbing the five rays of light into her chest. The intense pain caused the wings on her back to spread to their fullest, then became gloomy, losing their previous beauty.

At that moment, someone gracefully arrived.

"Why do you put yourself through this, my sister."

The sound of Elsa’s serene voice rang out. (To be continued. If you like this book, please go to qidian.com to vote for it. Your support is my strongest motivation. For mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
