Chapter 530 - 417: You’re Not?

"What, can’t take it?" Long Yi looked around.

"The Dragon Knights from the Black Dragon Empire beat you down without breaking a sweat. That’s not an insult to you."

"The Dragon Knights from the Black Dragon Empire were experimenting with tactics while hovering in the sky. That’s not an insult to you."

"The Dragon Knights from the Black Dragon Empire injured your loved ones, even killing some of them. That’s not an insult to you."

"And I, fuck, just told the truth and that’s an insult to you!?"

Long Yi shouted out loud.

"Then let me tell you this, you’re all cowards! Cowards! You’re a coward! You’re a coward! You’re a coward too! Each and every one of you are cowards! Timid worms that only know how to hide in someone else’s arms, sniveling. Tsk, not much combat strength, but plenty of tears? Look at your faces, glaring at me again. Why didn’t you glare at those Dragon Knights from the Black Dragon Empire when they returned from the battlefield? Still not admitting that you’re cowards?"

Long Yi paced within the crowd and abruptly grabbed a soldier as he passed by him.

"Stand up, say it out loud, say ’I’m a coward.’"

The soldier, filled with rage from Long Yi’s insult, glared at Long Yi as if he was about to spit fire. Why would he say such things to insult himself?

"Say it! Coward, you’ve shown your cowardice, won’t you even admit it?" Long Yi laughed.

"I’m not a coward..." The soldier said softly.

"Louder, I can’t hear you! Are you a whimpering woman?!"

"I’m not a coward! I’m not a woman! I’ll teach those bastards from the Black Dragon Empire a lesson! Did you fucking hear that! Did you fucking hear that! Ahhhhhhh!!!!!"

Maybe it was Long Yi’s harsh pressure that finally made the young Dragon Rider scream out loudly.

"Oh, it seems you’re not, then what about you?"

"I’m not!"

"You?"

"Fuck, I’m certainly not!"

"You? You? You?"

"Not! I’m not!"

Every soldier quizzed stood up, screaming, expressing their inner anger, hiding fear deep in their hearts.

"So, was I mistaken? You guys aren’t cowards?" Long Yi asked everyone in sight.

"Not!" Every Dragon Rider roared.

"Haha, I don’t believe it." Long Yi laughed. "In fact, I’m so strong, you guys exist only because I allow you to. From my perspective, you’re definitely the type of idiots who forget their tactics and movements out of fear when confronted with an enemy. After all, I’ll be charging into the enemy lines again soon. As for you cowards, you can hide away. If you accidentally bump into me, you might start crying again. Hahaha!"

Long Yi slowly went back to Ai Lin’s side.

"Fuck, kid, you’re good! Few words and you have lifted their morale, I’m impressed!" Bruto said, laughing.

"If morale was all we needed, then why would we need training? I just don’t want these brothers to die too much!" Long Yi said.

"Hehe, you’re right, now what’s the next plan? Hurry and tell me! I need to arrange tasks!" Bruto quickly asked.

"The next task doesn’t concern you. Little Zi, let him sleep, don’t let him wake up until the battle is over," Long Yi said.

"You! You can’t do this to me! I’m the commander!" Bruto struggled to shout.

"I don’t care what you are. I just know that people like you should stay asleep," Long Yi said.

Bruto was assigned a mental suggestion and wouldn’t wake up without Little Zi’s help.

On this side, the soldiers’ fighting spirit has at least risen.

But...

"But the strength hasn’t changed at all." Ai Lin’s eyes were filled with worry.

"Should we ask the Blood Ravens for help?" Suolin asked.

"No, it can’t be the Blood Ravens. If Rongka finds out, it would be a big problem," Long Yi shook his head.

"But we can’t just let brothers die for nothing, right?" Ai Lin anxiously said.

"Absolutely not," Long Yi stated, "I’ll let the vice commander know, the Emperor needs to know this."

When Long Yi found the Vice Commander, the Vice Captain of the Third Legion told Long Yi that the battle report had been sent to the Emperor. As for the Emperor’s instructions, it may take some time.

We’ll have to stall then!

Long Yi was in a bad mood at this point, and even sitting down, his leg was shaking uncontrollably. Ai Lin quietly sat next to him, one hand gently pressing on Long Yi’s leg. Long Yi was slightly stunned, then smiled at Ai Lin, holding her small hand.

Suddenly, three bundles of white light exploded in the sky!

Those were signals of an incoming attack from Wesley, who was keeping watch in the sky!

The Black Dragon Empire began to rally its troops again!

"Prepare for battle!" The vice-commander shouted.

"Roar!"

The people who had just been scolded by Long Yi nearly all looked at him and let out a roar.

But at this moment, a white shadow flew in from the rear!

This was the Guardian Dragon Rider!

"The Guardian Dragon Riders are here!"

The crowd shouted loudly.

Suddenly, the previously oppressed people once again had a glimmer of hope.

However, it was not just the Guardian Dragon Riders who arrived.

The Emperor was also here!

When Kirei appeared before Long Yi with a smile on his face, Long Yi’s first reaction was to knock him out with a punch and let the Guardian Dragon Riders take him away. But this would surely dampen morale. So, Long Yi finally gave up this tempting thought.

"I think you have no idea what’s happened here, do you?" Long Yi asked, clenching his fists.

"I know," Kirei smiled and spoke.

"I suppose you have no idea what I’m worrying about, right?" Long Yi clenched another fist.

"I know that too," said Kirei.

"No, you don’t."

"No, I really do," Kirei insisted. "That’s why I’m here, because some matters are not your responsibility, but mine as Emperor."

Then, Kirei turned around and looked at the face of every Dragon Rider. There was confusion, determination, and at the bottom of their hearts, a little fear.

Kirei smiled, and slowly began to spoke:

"I can see your faces, your eyes, even your hearts. I know our enemy is extremely powerful, so powerful that it seems impossible to resist. But we cannot retreat. Because we are the Empire’s only line of defense in the air, once we collapse, the Empire will fall in an instant."

"So, I’ll only say one thing."

"Our enemy is right in front of us! And I, Kirei Kandela, Emperor of the White Dragon Empire, am right here, we live and die together!"

Roar!

Roar!

Roar!

The Dragon Riders howled, and the Giant Dragons soared into the sky.

"Take the Super Elixir!"

All the Dragon Riders took out the Super Elixir they had secured on their person and drank it down.

This substance could instantly enhance the strength of a Dragon Rider by two Dragon Marks and last between half an hour and an hour. It was initially thought to be used as a last resort, but unexpectedly, it had to be used in just the second battle.

Long Yi glared fiercely at Kirei, then turned and soared into the sky.

Next to the Emperor, the White Dragon Group Leader deeply looked at Long Yi and ordered two Dragon Riders to stay and protect the Emperor. But Kirei shook his head, saying: "Go to the front lines, the life of this Emperor is not that important, but the presence of one more person on the frontline can add some strength."

The Group Leader nodded, amid the howling White Dragon, he also took to the skies.

Having experienced the first battle, by now, everyone knew exactly how powerful the enemy they were facing was. All tentative attacks had been omitted, and when they did strike, they went all out!

At critical moments, human potential is infinite. Relying on the power of the elixir and the burst of morale, both sides surprisingly reached a deadlock. At a critical moment, all the maneuvers Long Yi taught came into play. By these maneuvers, they frequently shook off the enemies biting their tails and delivered powerful counterattacks.

The Guardian Dragon Riders did not disperse, but started to encircle and clear the Dark Dragon Riders of the Black Dragon Empire with their superior strength. This tactic worked, and for a while, it seemed there was nothing to worry about on the front line. He immediately called back Ai Lin and Suolin, and in conjunction with Little Zi, they also began to encircle and clear.

For a moment, the balance of the war seemed to be tilting towards Long Yi’s side.

But Long Yi’s face was still not good, because he knew that two lurking crises had not yet erupted!

Just then, the Black Dragon Knights of the Black Dragon Empire who had been unable to break through for a long time suddenly changed under their howls, and the rich breath of Hell spread from their bodies!

Yes! This was exactly what Long Yi was worried about! Since Yake had received help from Hell, how could he not use the power of Hell to transform their Dragon Knights?

"All Dragon Riders, dodge with all your might, don’t let them touch you!" Long Yi shouted loudly.

But it was too late for Long Yi’s words. Some careless Dragon Riders were tainted by the power of Hell. This powerful corrosive force immediately knocked down dozens of Dragon Riders!

"All White Dragons, breathe fire!" The White Dragon Group Leader roared.

Boom!

A hundred beams of light shot out simultaneously, blowing down a Black Dragon that was pursuing them hard.

But the second thing that worried Long Yi also almost simultaneously erupted.

Some weaker Dragon Riders’ Super Elixir lost its effect!

The Super Elixir raises one’s strength by enhancing one’s potential. In other words, if one’s original strength is not high, the enhancement brought by the Super Elixir is also limited.

And this was the current situation.

Some Dragon Riders were knocked down by the enemy’s Dragon Riders because their strength suddenly decreased! The battle line immediately became vulnerable!

"White Dragon Knights, go fill their positions!" The White Dragon Group Leader yelled.

The White Dragon Knights dispersed and filled into the extended battle line.

However, the battle line stretched by the nearly 6,000 Dragon Riders from both sides was too long! Relying solely on the meager White Dragon Knights was definitely not enough to meet the needs of the battle!

The pressure brought by the power of Hell was even felt here by Long Yi. Although he possessed the Tears of Light, he did not fear the power of Hell. However, the enhancement that the power of Hell brought to the Black Dragon Knights was astonishing.

Even Long Yi had to expend more effort than usual to knock down a Dragon Rider. Whether the Dragon Rider was truly dead was another matter.

As the Super Elixir lost its effect over time, losses and gains shifted, and the front line began to collapse.(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote and donate at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
