Chapter 522: Chapter 300: Is the Dragon Beast Afraid of Dragon Prestige? _2
 

Shamara was one thing, but the giant dragons required caution from the adjutant, because their flying dragons were a type of dragon beasts, and the giant dragons held a bloodline suppression over them; just seeing a giant dragon, let alone confronting it, having the ability to maintain stable flight was already quite good.

Furthermore, even if the flying dragons were trained and mustered the courage to attack the giant dragon, they were not a match for it.

The adjutant turned to glance back, his gaze fell on a floating magic carriage that was in the rear. It was a carriage without wheels that could hover in the air. The carriage was shaped like a cobblestone, wider in the middle and thinner at both ends, round and smooth.

Four griffins were pulling the carriage, flying at a slightly higher altitude than most of the flying dragons, smoothly and gracefully.

“So that’s why you invited the Arcane Mage, Owenson. His elemental javelin can restrict the giant dragon.” The adjutant suddenly realized.

Aimer nodded, “They also have twenty or so mixed-blood titans, likely having the bloodline of the Thunder Titan, and there are a bunch of miscellaneous characters.”

If Luther and Lightning knew that they were classified as ‘miscellaneous’, they would certainly erupt in anger.

The adjutant still could not understand – after all, who were they? The Flying Dragon Knights! The fifth strongest aerial knight unit in the plane.

Those who outranked them were not human forces. Even the numerically superior human force, the Stellaris Magician Group, comprised creatures and elemental beings. Thus, the Flying Dragon Knights could also claim to be the strongest human force.

As the strongest human force, wouldn’t they be able to deal with such an enemy lineup?

“I just want you to be cautious and not underestimate your opponent. If it gets too challenging, I won’t be there.” Aimer spoke. “Our combat strength is not what I’m most concerned about, it’s the people behind them.”

The adjutant asked curiously, “We are directly under the reign of Guliani, who else could be more important than the Emperor?”

“You know the Plane Security Meeting, right? Lord Dyson and the Emperor brought it up twice. When it came to dealing with these nomads of the abyss, none of the movements could get through. So it is certain they have connections with the Dragon Clan, the elves, and even Lord Anthony. Judging by the elves’ actions, if we do not kill all these nomads in a single blow, the elves are likely to send troops to assistance and we might end up facing the two-headed Chimera Knights.”

The adjutant said confidently, “That won’t happen, how could they possibly withstand our attack? As long as there aren’t dozens of giant dragons exerting their dragon’s prestige and scaring the children. The Flying Dragon Knights are sure to overcome everything.”

“Hahaha, that’s the spirit. Carry on and overcome everything because we are—” The final sentence was shouted out by Aimer, his voice echoing with fighting spirit.

The only response from his subordinates and the adjutant was an invigorated echo, “The Flying Dragon Knights!”

“We are—”

“The Flying Dragon Knights! Invincible in battle! Pressing on with courage!”

They could already see land ahead, indicating that they had flown over Fallen Dragon Lake, which was hundreds of kilometers wide. The shore was covered in vast, orderly rice fields, their golden crops weighed down heavily, causing the stalks to bend.

Some knights who had an understanding of agriculture couldn’t help but exclaim, “So many rice fields? Isn’t this a saltwater lake? We were repeatedly warned not to drink the water from the lake on the way here, then why are there so many rice fields?”

Not everyone knew about the existence of saltwater rice.

Just then, a row of black balls was flung over from the distance, following a smooth parabolic trajectory and dropping into the formation of the Flying Dragon Knights.

Aimer shouted loudly, “Enemy attack! Scatter! Enemy attack! It could be exploding fruits!”

Because of incident with the War Giant Tree near the Goddess of Beauty City, these balls flung over could likely be explosive fruits.

Indeed, the balls flew over the formation of the Flying Dragon Knights and suddenly exploded in mid-air, scattering countless small black specks in all directions.

“Ah!” Covered by the exploding black specks, many Flying Dragon Knights cried out in horror.

There were also quick-reacting Flying Dragon Knights who used their fighting spirits, or raised their shields, resisting these small black specks. The sound of continuous clanging reverberated as the black specks failed to break their defenses.

But before they could rejoice, the flying dragons beneath them staggered, wailing in pain.

The small black specks from the exploding fruits pierced the most fragile wing membranes of the flying dragons, instantly reducing their maneuverability, and in some cases, completely incapacitating them. If they continued to fly, the pierced wing membrane would continue to tear, eventually forming a large hole incapable of holding the wind.

The Dragon Knights scattered like a disturbed hornet’s nest.

On the other end of the parabola, Gore, the Tree Man, swept its other hand along the tree trunk, snatching up the explosive fruits as he passed by.

It lowered its long arm to the ground, then swung its trunk. Being a War Tree Man reaching a hundred meters in height, it could swing with an amplitude of tens of meters. Coupled with the arm stretched to the ground, this constituted a lever force over a hundred meters long.

The arm swung with great force, flinging the ten explosive fruits held in the hand like cannonballs into the distance.

While hurling the fruits, Gore spoke to Ange and the others who had rushed over: “So many flying dragons, everyone run quick, I might not be able to handle them. I’ve stored up two hundred explosive fruits, ten per toss, and they’ll be gone after twenty tosses. I can produce twenty fruits an hour, after I use up these stored fruits, I’ll have to grow them slowly. You guys run, I’ll hold them off.”

“Gore, changing your name, huh? Brave Gore, is it?” Lightning, carrying Ange into the air, responded with a smirk.

Gore ignored it, and instead turned to Ange saying, “Take care of God of Life.”

Of course, Talkative Goler isn’t brave, it’s just willing to sacrifice everything for the God of Life.

Lightning pouted, not used to its once verbally combative companion suddenly acting courageous.

Ange took out the Little Sapling, put it on his head and then walked on air. He climbed onto Gore and left a heavy footprint,

At the same time, the Little Sapling waved its leaves at Gore: Grow—stronger — grow — stronger —

“Huh, what did you do to me? Suddenly, my sap is secreting so quickly, and the speed at which I grow fruit has also accelerated. What did you do to me?” Gore asked, shocked,

Ignoring Gore, Ange pulled out the insect ash liquid, mixed it with water, then used magic to shake it into mist and sprinkled it onto Gore.

“What kind of water fertilizer is this? My God, so much vitality, I suddenly feel so powerful.” Gore shouted in excitement, its roots thrust into the ground and it focused on throwing explosive fruits.

Originally, it would take an hour to produce twenty explosive fruits, but with the help of the instant death halo, Little Sapling, and insect ash liquid, this was reduced to twenty fruits per minute.

If Gore tosses ten fruits every thirty seconds, its fruits will be endless.

Facing an endless barrage of explosive fruits, the Dragon Knights finally approached close enough to see the War Giant Tree. Aimer instantly commanded, “Heavy-load dragons, ascend, drop the fierce fire oil and fire bombs, burn that tree.”

With Aimer’s command, some noticeably larger flying dragons in the Dragon Knight group ascended.

Just like humans have dwarfs and big guys, so do flying dragons. The larger ones are specifically picked out to carry heavier weapons, including the air raid’s particularly useful fierce fire oil and fire bombs.

They fly over the city, calculate the drop point, and let it fall. The force of the drop from such heights is enough to break through many city defenses and then the fierce fire oil detonates, turning the entire city into a sea of fire.

This kind of weapon is also very effective for burning trees.

A silver light and a yellow shadow swiftly swooped in, pouncing on the heavy-load flying dragons. This was White Neck and Naeli.

Presently, both White Neck and Naeli had grown into giant dragons, about ten meters long. Though this size is considered young among the Giant Dragon Clan, compared to the seven or eight meter long flying dragons, they were noticeably larger, and they also had a natural intimidating presence against the flying dragons.

Seeing them swooping in, the terrified flying dragons scattered, avoiding the places they attacked.

The heavy-load flying dragons were distracted and for the moment couldn’t fly above the War Giant Tree. Aimer didn’t pay it any mind; the scattered Dragon Knights continued to press forward, like dark clouds looming toward the Goddess of Beauty City.

In front of these dark clouds, a human riding a snow-white unicorn galloped toward the Dragon Knights, resembling a white rapier piercing the dark clouds.

“Hehe, quite a brave knight, he’s mine,” Aimer smirked, about to stand up from the flying dragon, only to find that the dragon beneath him had started trembling.

Do dragons fear dragon prestige? Looking at the flying dragons in the sky trying to avoid White Neck and Naeli, Ange suddenly understood as scales began to form all over his body.

Would the dragon prestige of the Dragon God scare the flying dragons out of their wits?
