Ace Dragon Rider
Chapter 718 - 574: Is This Possible?
According to the friend of Chairman Asus, in the past several months, Dragon Island has been steadily manufacturing Double-headed Black Dragons, even Hybrid Dragons. To produce these super creatures, Gulelie even ordered Dragons to commit suicide to acquire their bodies as raw materials. Ultimately, the million-strong Black Dragon army shrunk to a force of half a million double-headed Dragon Legion. One body, two souls, not only capable of individual combat, but also double the power of magic and Fighting Auras!
On the Gentle Wind Plain, Long Yi’s legion has remained vigilant. Hearing that Dragon Island finally deployed, each Dragon Knight roared in anticipation. They had trained for so long, now their enemy was finally at their doorstep!
Long Yi’s eyes were aflame!
You damned shameless bunch! Why choose now of all times to show up! This is such a setback!
Group leaders were rushing from the camp to their respective legions to assign tasks. For a large-scale battle like this, there couldn’t just be a massive free-for-all. The battlefield must be divided into smaller fields with each legion taking responsibility for one.
Long Yi rushed underground to find the Darkness Saintess, who was currently inspecting and maintaining recovered Golems.
"Sis, I’ve got good news!"
Long Yi spoke rapidly.
"Has it started?!"
The Darkness Saintess had wide-eyed excitement. Those around her from her clan had obviously started breathing more heavily.
"Exactly. Dragon Island has moved in full force. Get yourselves ready. This confrontation might be the final battle with the Dragon Clan!"
Long Yi affirmed, nodding heavily.
"I understand!" the Darkness Saintess responded firmly before shouting at her own people, "My brothers and sisters! You’ve heard Brother Long’s words! Wrap up the maintenance immediately! Everyone prepare for battle! We, the clan core, will show the Dragon Clan that we are the true nightmares of dragons!"
Golems, one of the few weapons crafted by Giants for the purpose of combat. Even during warfare, the number of Golems created was not large, but the losses they caused to the Dragon Clan were devastating.
Long Yi, who didn’t experience these past battles, didn’t know what happened then. But the scars all over the Golems showed just how heavily the Dragon Clan had paid to fight them.
On the Gentle Wind Plain, all Dragon Knights were on alert, training had ceased, everyone stood by ready for battle. All their training equipment was replaced with actual gear, and everyone was issued a Crystal Core earpiece. This device allowed them to hear the Commander’s orders, facilitating tactical planning.
Isrile was teaching her three little followers the fastest ways to kill a dragon, hoping to defeat Ruosha in the upcoming battle’s enemy-killing stage. Ruosha, on the other hand, was polishing her massive battle anchor and occasionally ridiculing Isrile’s tactics.
The Blood Raven sisters kept quiet. They all stood silently, eyes closed, seemingly recovering their energy. If one was familiar with Blood Ravens, he would know that during this time, each of them was sharing their own combat experiences in their linked consciousness. This sharing prevented them from making mistakes. It also ensured that they could perform coordinated movements that exceed human abilities, even after countless rehearsals.
Nim was hovering in the sky. His wings alternated between Light Wings and regular feathers. After Long Yi passed this ability onto him, Nim has been practicing relentlessly so that he could master the burst of power from the Light Wings without getting expelled back to the Heaven Realm due to excessively powerful forces. Nim knew this could be the biggest battle he faced since joining Long Yi’s side.
What does this mean?
It means — I’m about to gain merit! Wipe out those shameless invaders and make Long Yi thinks I’m a talent! If the giants could give me a little boost, once I got back to the Heaven Realm, I’d be set for life!
This wasn’t the first war, nor would it be the last. But Long Yi knew that perhaps after this battle, the grudges between the Giants and the Dragon Clan would end.
Whether this ending meant extinction of the Dragon Clan in the universe or restoring peace between Giants and the Dragon Clan, that would depend on whether Long Yi won or lost.
Once Long Yi loses, it could mean that the Dragon Clan might meddle with the Human Realm again. Then, the Giant’s plan of rebooting the Human Realm might have to be reconsidered. If the Human Realm were to be rebooted, everything Long Yi was familiar with would disappear.
Even for that, I absolutely cannot lose!
Asus stood silently atop the fortress, staring blankly into the distance. He felt desolate. He didn’t understand why matters escalated to this point. Why did Gulelie insist on declaring war on Long Yi? Why couldn’t he tolerate a Giant?
Although collectively known as the Dragon Clan, the clan was made up of many branches, with each dragon species having its own characteristics and preferences. Some were violent, others mild; some loved to conquer, others preferred to make friends. Different temperaments formed different groups. Although there were occasional internal misunderstandings, they had never escalated into full-scale wars before.
