Chapter 64: The Dragon
The setting sun glows like blood, and the clouds clear after the rain.
The cold, whispering air of Winter Fortress slowly fades away with the sound of harsh silence.
The earth trembles, dust flies, and the sound of powerful hoofbeats comes from the horizon.
"Is that Brother’s army?!" Kalian suddenly stood up, but due to her lack of strength, she leaned back against Leo.
"I believe so," Leo said as he held her shoulder. "Now, let’s see what the Marquis of Logan will do."
There was no hint of falsehood in his words.
They had done everything they could, and one could even say they exceeded the task.
At this moment, the Night Demon Army was trapped beneath the city walls, and the fruits of victory were in the hands of the Marquis of Logan.
A gentle squeeze, and it can be picked.
"Kill!!!"
The powerful cavalry of North Land, dressed in black armor, seemed like demons from hell, cutting through the rear of the Night Demon Army like a sharp saw.
And at this moment, the light of the setting sun faded below the horizon.
Suddenly, an attack like the crashing of heaven and earth erupted.
"The marquis has arrived!"
On the walls of Winter Fortress City, Viscount Carter raised his arm and shouted, "Warriors, the dawn of victory is right before us, shoot arrows! Load your crossbows! Let this damned Night Demon army know who the true masters of North Land are!"
"Kill!!"
The power of belief may not change the species of living beings, but it can allow them to burst forth with a dazzling light for a brief moment.
The light of victory was right in front of them, and the tired soldiers found strength they had never known before.
Arrows filled the sky, and the force of the giant crossbows surged like mighty waves; the catapults swung continuously as humanity poured their strength into the front lines against the Night Demons without counting the cost.
The Night Demon Soldiers seemed completely unprepared for such a fierce counterattack from the humans they thought had given up.
They continually retreated under the attack, leaving behind the bodies of their fallen kin.
"I must say, the discipline of the Night Demon army is truly impressive," Leo said, watching the defeated Night Demon Army with a shake of his head, "even in this situation, they can still maintain their formation."
At the same time, the armored Knight Lennon tightened the reins of his pegasus and raised his Order Sword.
"Then, it’s time for us to move! For order!"
"For order!"
"For order!"
Thousands of the White Cavalry Army rode their pegasi and flew high into the sky.
They were to work with the Marquis of Logan to end this cruel war.
"For the sake of order, I should go," Leo glanced at Kalian in his arms.
Following Knight Lennon’s plan, he would also take part in this raid, of course, staying behind Miss Skuld to see how the White Cavalry Army fought.
"Well then, I wish you great success in battle," Kalian stood tall and gave a bow to Leo.
"With your dagger by my side, I will," Leo nodded and mounted his warhorse.
"Um…" Kalian did not expect him to mention her dagger at that moment, causing her cheeks to flush.
The pegasus spread its wings, and for the first time, Leo flew into the sky.
The Order Sect’s pegasi had the ability to protect the knights, so the feeling of dizziness was not as strong as he had imagined.
Miss Skuld arrived by his side in the wind.
"Master, you must stay by my side; otherwise, I cannot protect you."
"Alright, I understand. I just came to watch and earn some glory."
A thousand Pegasus knights charged into the battlefield under the bright moon.
The cavalry of the Marquis of Logan had caused the Night Demon Army to suffer greatly.
The more soldiers there are, the harder it is to control them.
The Night Demon Army was too numerous; they couldn’t change their formation under the cavalry’s charge.
If they turned to retreat, they would face the charging cavalry and the arrows of the defending soldiers at Winter Fortress.
Fortunately, the Night Demons were disciplined and had strong combat abilities. They raised huge shields, facing the enemy and slowing down the Marquis of Logan’s charge.
Otherwise, facing this attack from two sides, we would have already been defeated.
But this action completely immobilized the Night Demon Army, making them targets for the White Cavalry Army.
"Then, let us deliver Divine Punishment to the Night Demons," Lennon tightened his grip on the sword and led the White Cavalry Army in a chant.
He planned to gather all the strength of the White Cavalry Army to use the forbidden technique of the Order Sect—Divine Punishment—to end this war.
This forbidden technique is incredibly powerful, able to erase a city from the map with one strike, but its drawback is that it requires too many people and takes too long to prepare, with a lengthy delay from release to effect.
In the front line battle, it cannot hit anyone.
But at this moment, it is the most lethal spell.
The light of order flickered among the White Cavalry Army, and a light curtain appeared beneath the hooves of the pegasus forming the battle formation, where the tearful girl appeared once again on the light curtain.
Great power condensed in Lennon’s hands, the world changed color; even though the moon was high in the sky, the night looked as bright as day.
"Are you really going to use that move, Master? It seems like it is really coming to an end. What should we do next?" Skuld looked at Leo.
"…" Leo thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Did you see the Night Demon’s cavalry?"
"Huh?" Skuld was surprised. "No… I didn’t. Could they have already escaped?"
"I don’t know… but I have a strange feeling that something is not right." Leo frowned. "I hope I’m just overthinking it. Anyway, if something happens later, we just run and don’t worry about them."
"Roar!!"
Before Leo finished speaking, a loud roar came from beyond the horizon.
The sound shook the sky.
It trembled the ground, causing the White Cavalry Army, who were chanting, to freeze for a moment.
Then, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared in the mist.
The scorching wind blew away the clouds and mist, a massive form blocked the silver moon, and the light of order dimmed before it.
Then, a beam that could destroy everything shot from the creature’s mouth, reaching the White Cavalry Army in the blink of an eye.
"Damn it, how could this happen…"
Lennon swung his sword, using all the strength he had just gathered to strike at the beam.
Boom!
As the smoke cleared, the armor of the sixth-tier warrior melted away, the sword of order shattered completely, and his body was covered in blisters, clearly suffering from severe burns.
The warhorse beneath him turned to ashes.
The White Cavalry Army quickly rushed forward to catch their Knight Commander.
In just one strike, this undefeated sixth-tier warrior lost his ability to fight.
With just one strike, the formation of the White Cavalry Army was broken.
With just one strike, hundreds of members of the White Cavalry Army lost their lives, falling from the sky to the ground.
And the one responsible for all of this.
Is a…
Dragon.
"A body like rock, eyes like flames, scales like diamonds, and power beyond any form of life."
Leo whispered the words he heard from Miss Kalian, staring blankly at the creature that only existed in myths.
He finally understood where the strange feeling that had always lingered in his heart came from; he finally remembered the thought that sneaked away while chatting with Kalian a few days ago…
