Ace Dragon Rider
Chapter 709 - 566: More Than Double the Power_3
However, there’s one thing that must be given careful attention...
The safety of the Dragon Knights.
Of these three hundred thousand Dragon Knights, only two thousand had undergone a series of surgical transformations during the initial war, turning them into super Dragon Knights. Their strength is unquestionable and even if they were to confront a Giant Dragon alone, although Wei Bin could defeat them, they would certainly not lose easily.
However, apart from these, the new Dragon Knights lack such superior strength. Having just become Dragon Knights, they have adapted to the fighting style of a Dragon Knight, but their own frailty remains unchanged. This vulnerability was experienced in previous internal combat, and the human body cannot withstand any Fighting Aura techniques or magic used by the Dragon Clan.
Therefore, we should minimize the risk of injury to the Dragon Knights as much as possible.
But how can we do that?
Long Yi thought for a while, and summarized the following points.
"Firstly, you should fight while sitting, not standing, to reduce your exposure to the enemy."
"Secondly, your position should be on the dragon’s head, not its back. Because the dragon’s head is the most instinctively protected part of a dragon, and it also has a broad view to properly keep an eye on the enemy’s every move. Also, the space on top of the dragon’s head is large enough to accommodate a Dragon Knight."
"Thirdly... you really need a cockpit."
Creating a cockpit for the Dragon Knights was something Long Yi had been contemplating for quite some time. However, since the Dragon Knights were initially the main force in combat, a cockpit was not a feasible option. But now it’s different, the Dragon Knights command the Dragon Clan in battle. The roaring wind on the dragon’s head is simply intolerable!
Making a cockpit is easy. The Dragon Scale Armor, a magic every member of the Dragon Clan can use, extends a cockpit-like shape from a scale on the dragon’s forehead, then it just needs to be made completely transparent. From afar, it looks as if a transparent cap was worn on the dragon’s head.
At first, the Dragon Knights considered it amusing, but once they actually sat in it, without any disruption from the airflow, they realized that this distraction-free method of combat could allow them to concentrate better!
But how should the Dragon Knights sit? The dragons have already started removing the saddles from their backs, so it is not feasible to move them to their heads.
The solution, again, is the Dragon Scale Armor. Let another scale on the dragon’s head extend and wrap the Dragon Knight, this will securely fix the Dragon Knight to the top of the dragon head. Even the most extreme movements will assure that the Dragon Knight stays secured in position. Without a saddle, all flying dragons have a certain increase in flexibility. This improvement might appear minor, but to Long Yi, to any Dragon Knight, or even a Giant Dragon, this small enhancement might be a decisive factor in winning a battle or even the entire war.
After experimenting with this new combat method in a few battles, almost every Dragon Knight praised the innovation! Having an additional cap on their heads didn’t seem like a burden to the Dragon Clan. Since it was completely out of the Dragon Clan’s line of sight, it did not affect their judgment. Contrarily, since humans joined them, it sounded like they’ve now an extra pair of eyes on top of their heads.
Long Yi realized that although he couldn’t impose all his knowledge onto this world, as a multi-universe comprehensive system, some advanced concepts were universally apt.
Long Yi believes that such a troop should be able to withstand the offensive of the Dragon Clan Alliance.
As the days went by, not much activity was reported from Dragon Island. However, according to the Sea Clan, who were responsible for keeping watch, they occasionally saw some twisted figures soaring into the sky, only to be killed by the Floating Island above Dragon Island.
Long Yi knew, Dragon Island was brewing a terrorizing counterattack unprecedented! The training of the troops on Gentle Wind Plain did not dare slack a bit, because the coming battle would be a tough one.
In a blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
In this half-year, Long Yi has been brainstorming every day on how to enhance the strength of his troops, the more quiet Dragon Island remained, the more he worried. The Dragon Clan are not creatures known for their patience, but once they showed tolerance, there could be only one reason.
During this half-year, the Divine Envoy wasn’t on the Gentle Wind Plain accompanying Long Yi, she was wandering around Human Realm alone. Saying she wanted to experience the scenery of Human Realm, Long Yi did not object, and let her go. Half a year later, when the Divine Envoy returned, she looked upset. She told Long Yi that she sensed something strange in every corner of Human Realm, what was the strangest was there existed a mysterious rule. Anyone who exceeded ten Dragon Marks’ strength would either be erased on the spot or be expelled from the Plane. The rule was in operation under the guarantee of the entire Plane system, want to change the rule, unless the Plane collapsed.
According to the Divine Envoy, the Giants dedicated so much to protect humans, it could be described as beyond comprehension.
And on the second day of the Divine Envoy’s return, an urgent message arrived from the Sea Clan’s watcher.
The Dragon Clan from Dragon Island has finally set out!
Various information continuously streamed in from the Sea Clan, most of which were about how powerful these Dragon Clans were, the word ’terrifying’ was even used. This has somewhat mentally prepared Long Yi. However, when those enormous creatures appeared in the sky again, even Long Yi was shocked.
Each Black Dragon was over seventy meters long, and these Black Dragon had two heads!
A Double-headed Black Dragon? Is this some kind of new species?
In the sky, Long Yi looked at Asus in confusion, but Asus looked back at him with a clueless expression. Clearly, both of them didn’t quite understand what the creature appearing before them was.
Standing in the rear of the Dragon Clan’s army was Gulelie, his eyes sparkled with an unprecedented madness!
Yes, tremble you pitiful creatures! Because today, you’re about to face not double but triple the power! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to recommend votes, monthly tickets on qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.qidian.com.)
