Chapter 528 - 415: Sudden War

Apart from training, Long Yi had been observing the equipment of the Dragon Knights. Traditional Dragon Knight armor was usually made of pure steel heavy armor, which was similar to bulletproof vests or helmets, offering limited defense against direct hits and also impairing to some extent the wearer’s agility. Its main use was mainly for protection against peripheral damage.

Long Yi thought this could be improved.

Therefore, he had been working to upgrade their gear.

Recently, the Dragon Knights had been equipped with new gear which indeed looked much better. However, it did not significantly depart from the traditional design of the Dragon Knights.

Therefore, Long Yi has planned to create new equipment for the Dragon Knights.

Meanwhile, as the White Dragon Empire continued to enhance its strength, the Red Dragon Empire became dissatisfied. They felt that as their allies were making such efforts to improve, shouldn’t they also lend a hand?

When this message arrived, Kirei could not help but snicker. However, he had a point, after all, they were allies, and it was natural to support each other. However, at that moment, another piece of news came in.

The Dragon Knights of the Black Dragon Empire began to mobilize unprecedentedly, and were heading towards the border of White Dragon Empire!

The Black Dragon Empire was about to wage another undeclared war!

The previously laid-back atmosphere instantly became suffocating. The inhabitants along the border began to evacuate en masse. The five major legions of the White Dragon Empire urgently assembled, the army swiftly mobilized for war and prepared to head to the frontline.

"Something’s wrong! There’s definitely something wrong!" Kirei forcefully ran his fingers through his hair in his study, his expression tense.

Long Yi raised his fist, "Come on, brother, I have a good remedy here that can calm you down. You want to try it?"

"No, no, no! I’m perfectly calm, I just can’t figure it out! All the information I’ve got from my insiders in the Black Dragon Empire says they absolutely won’t start a war at this time, so why are they suddenly starting a war? What’s their intent?" Kirei protested.

"Who cares what their intent is. If they come, we’ll fight them to the death," Long Yi said with a smile.

"Fight to the death? Should I mobilize the Battle Armor? What about the Molten Beast unit?" Kirei asked.

"Don’t ask me these things, I’m bad at making strategic decisions. But I feel this time they came so suddenly hardly prepared, maybe they won’t be needed. Of course, we should still prepare, just in case we need those. Anyway... figure it out yourself, I need to prepare for the battle." Long Yi exited.

With Long Yi’s departure, a helpless look crossed Kirei’s face. Long Yi was always a reliable person in any situation. But he didn’t particularly like using his brain, to be precise, during a war, Long Yi preferred to defeat his opponent with overpowering strength instead of outsmarting them. However, everything indicated that Long Yi was simply not keen on the former, not incompetent at it!

Looking at Long Yi’s retreating figure, Kirei’s heart was somewhat reassured. Maybe Kirei took the view that Long Yi’s presence on the battlefield would surely bring victory.

"All armored soldiers, gear up immediately and remain on standby in the barracks for twenty-four hours, not allowed to leave at will; the commander of the Molten Beast unit, start counting the Molten Beast cores immediately, enter the airship warehouse, also on standby for twenty-four hours, ready to be drop-shipped to the battlefield at any time!"

As the Emperor, this was all he could do regarding the frontlines. Next, it was all up to the Dragon Knights.

Dawn.

The border was eerily quiet. The Black Dragon Empire’s Dragon Knights, clad in black armor, formed a long procession.

On this side folks, the Dragon Knights of the White Dragon Empire, all clad in white armor, each staring coldly in front of them at the enemy.

Long Yi stood at the front, with Ai Lin, Suolin, the chef, mosquito, and Wesley next to him.

Neither the Isrile sisters nor the Dandi sisters were there. They were their trump card, not to be revealed casually.

Long Yi turned around and looked at the group of Dragon Knights behind him, sweeping over their eyes.

They looked determined.

Good, at least they haven’t been frightened away.

But, would they still be as determined if they knew the strength of their enemies?

The Dragon Knights of the White Dragon Empire had an average power of four Dragon Marks.

Each of their opponents had seven Dragon Marks, which is what Ai Lin told him. Long Yi had various talents that allowed him to disregard the wide gap in strength, but he feared that the Dragon Knights behind him might not be able to withstand it.

Should he tell them?

Ai Lin looked at Long Yi with an inquisitive gaze. Long Yi, however, slowly shook his head. If he were to disclose it now, these Dragon Knights might even lose their last and only advantage.

Combat spirit.

The actions of the Black Dragon Empire are baffling, nearly two thousand Dragon Knights mysteriously all ran over here. There is no ambush, no trap or conspiracy, they just blatantly want to pit strength against strength.

Long Yi thought, if he had a group of Dragon Knights like that under his command, it would probably be the perfect way to fight.

Since they had the strength, there was no need for conspiracy and trickery.

Woo---

The sound of a deep horn echoed, and the massive black dragons soared into the sky one after another, casting large shadows against the sky.

On this side, the Dragon Knights of the White Dragon Empire also took off one after another, formed their formation, and prepared to meet the enemy.

"Roar!"

Bajie’s huge body slowly ascended, his impossibly large physique imparted heavy pressure on the enemy, while also giving endless confidence to his own people!

"Kill!"

For a moment, the sounds of dragon roars, the explosions of fighting aura, and screams of pain were all mixed together.

Long Yi was always at the forefront. The opposing dragon knights were taller than Long Yi and their bodies were even more robust. Their mount dragons were also enormous, incredibly strong, and a whole size larger than regular black dragons. Apparently, the Black Dragon Empire’s research was not just about Dragon Knights, but also their dragons!

"Ai Lin! You go to the left wing for free support! Suolin! You go to the right for free support! Chef Mosquito Wesley, you stay with me!"

"Okay!"

Suolin instantly transformed into a flying dragon and flew out quickly. Ai Lin’s wings were flickering with array symbols; the strong wind pushed her to fly to the other side.

Chef Mosquito and Wesley both stayed closely behind Long Yi.

"The first wave of battle is here! Don’t get scattered!"

"Dragon Breath! Attack!"

Boom!

On the White Dragon Empire’s side, a thick beam of light was blasted out, and the nearly light-speed dragon breath wasn’t something you could avoid. The black dragon knights withstood this first round of dragon breath solidly.

"Yay! Good job!" The dragon knights here cheered.

However, when the light disappeared, everyone found that there were no significant marks left on the black dragons!

This is impossible! Although the power of the White Dragon’s dragon breath was not as corrosive as the Black Dragon’s, it had a special effect on the Black Dragons. Even when the White Dragon Empire was suppressed by the Black Dragon Empire in the last war, the White Dragon could still retreat calmly with its light-speed dragon breath.

But now, the first strike had little effect!?

"Second round of dragon breath!" Long Yi roared.

The distance between the two sides was already negligible, and aside from the light beam of the White Dragon, the other dragon species had basically reached their dragon breath range. In an instant, beams of light, electric arcs, flames, and hot oil flew across the sky!

However, those black dragon knights didn’t dodge either!

After the second round of dragon breath, there were finally visible injuries on the bodies of the black dragons, but these injuries were far less severe than everyone expected.

"We’ve entered the range for a third dragon breath! Everyone, prepare to defend!" Long Yi shouted from the front line.

This time, the range was close enough.

The black dragons opened their fierce mouths wide, and black dragon breath spewed from their mouths!

"Bajie! Let’s go all out!"

Bajie took a deep breath, and his belly swelled up significantly.

"Roar!" He spat out a stream of hot molten iron accompanied by thick black smoke, covering a large area!

Faced with this kind of dragon breath attack, the black dragon knights finally started to dodge. After all, being sprayed head-on with this high-temperature molten iron that also had corrosive properties wasn’t something a black dragon could easily defend against. And once they were soaked in this molten iron, no matter how strong a dragon knight was, they would absolutely not be able to bear the pain. This had once been evidenced.

"Dodging? Are you joking? I was waiting for you to dodge!"

"Bajie, block their bottom flow. Xiaoyou! The top flow is yours to look after!"

Bajie roared, spraying another mouthful of molten iron towards the dragon knights rushing from below, and simultaneously, a giant shadow rushed up towards the top!

The molten iron inevitably drenched three dragon knights. They screamed in extreme pain as the dragon power in the molten iron corroded their armors and then their bodies, with the scorching iron inflicting further damage. Also, two black dragons got their wings burnt through by the molten iron as they tried to protect their dragon knights. They screamed and fell from the sky.

"Awesome! We are invincible!" Wesley shouted loudly.

"Shut up!" Long Yi suddenly scowled.

Wesley was taken aback by this sudden yelling. He assumed Long Yi was just joking with him. However, when he saw Long Yi’s face, he immediately realized Long Yi was nervous!

Wesley had never seen Long Yi with such an expression on his face. Although he was smiling as always, the smile now seemed incredibly fake!

Did Long Yi think they would lose?

When the battle lines finally collided, the good start by Long Yi had given everyone confidence.

However, when the black dragon knights really rushed up to them, things were not the same as they had thought. The gap in strength was enormous. Their full-force attacks of fighting aura against them were ridiculously like tickling. And if they didn’t dodge the attacks, they were bound to suffer severe injuries!

They couldn’t win at all!

"Get into formation!" a commander shouted.

The airborne dragon knights immediately began to change formation, but the other side was not foolish. In this nearly one-on-one battle, who would give you the opportunity to assemble your formation?

Before the formation could be finally assembled, several dragon knights screamed and fell from the sky! (To be continued.
