Chapter 1645: Chapter 1234: The Second Opening
The upgrade utilizes a divine power-imbued potion that allows effects to fully manifest within a few days, and there are no side effects. After the upgrade, White Dragon’s body size has increased, with its wings growing larger and its chest cavity expanding significantly, making it appear much stronger. However, the external layer of the Dragon Scale protection is only a thin barrier; this barrier is not designed against enemy attacks but against the vacuum of space. To maximize damage output in a given time frame, White Dragon will use all its Dragon Power for offense at the outset of an attack, forsaking all defense. Thus, Long Yi has permanently solidified a self-charging blink Array for them, which allows White Dragon to instantly blink away to dodge enemy attacks, serving as the last resort lifesaving Magic.
The battle on the field has completely ended. The Dragon Beasts, having lost their support, reverted to mere wild beasts, fighting solely on instinct. Under the command of the Dragon Knights, the forces continuously outmaneuvered and outnumbered the enemy, ultimately achieving an absolute advantage. The fight was concluded in less than six hours.
"All Giant Dragons, immediately enter rest mode. All Dragon Knights, return to rest immediately. For the wounded, follow the previously distributed medical guidelines to find the appropriate level medical center for treatment. All unrelated individuals, immediately leave the battle zone. The Joint Battlefield Cleanup Team is about to enter!"
Divine Power broadcasts reverberated throughout the battlefield; it was Simu’s voice, issuing orders through the Genesis Artifact. However, the actual command decisions came from the rear Joint Command Center, where a large group of Human, Celestial Clan, and Dragon Clan Commanders made judgments about the entire battlefield situation and issued commands.
This includes the Dragon Knight generals from the Human Realm’s White Dragon Empire and Tilian from Hell.
Tilian, originally the Crown Prince of the White Dragon Empire, has undergone changes, but fundamentally, he remains a Crown Prince of the White Dragon Empire. Now, armed with knowledge, Tilian’s insight and judgment have greatly improved compared to before. His plan formulations could be described as impeccable.
As the battle concluded, Tilian stood up and carefully recalled the previous fight. He suddenly said to Simu, "Creator God, I suspect that the Worm used the power of death in creating those Dragon Beasts. I request to go to the battlefield and take a look."
Simu nodded and said, "Go ahead, but be careful. And you can just call me Simu. After all, being called Creator God is somewhat uncomfortable nowadays."
At first, when Long Yi informed the White Dragon Elder Ashton of this plan, Ashton showed significant resistance. Although White Dragons naturally dislike war, they are not cowards. Long Yi’s modifications practically meant distancing them from the battlefield, an intolerable situation for them.
"So then, Elder Ashton, I’ll ask you a question. What outcome do you most wish to see from a war?" Long Yi asked.
"Is there a need to ask? To win, of course!" Ashton replied.
"Then, facing a group of fiercely brutal monsters, does how we win even matter?" Long Yi continued.
"But now we appear like a bunch of cowards, with such long-range and various permanent lifesaving spells at our surfaces. Do we have to fight like cowards?" Ashton still felt uncomfortable.
"How about this, die valiantly and then lose this battle. Or fight like a coward and annihilate the enemy, winning the war. Choose one."
Ashton was instantly unable to rebut.
From consuming the potion to it taking effect to adaptation, all of this needs time. Hence, during this period, Long Yi had no choice but to plan around the White Dragons.
Long Yi briefed every Dragon Knight on the completely new traits of the modified White Dragons, first of which was their doubled range. However, increased range usually means difficulty in aiming and locking onto targets, so Long Yi provided a set of stabilization Magic for the Dragon Knights. It ensures their stability in the cosmos. Simultaneously, the sustaining ability of White Dragon’s Dragon Breath was further enhanced, meaning, theoretically, new White Dragons should not faint from exhaustion after launching an attack and might even be capable of a second assault if lucky.
For the White Dragons, there were not many things to adapt to as they were already freed from the curse. Hence, their adaptability was extremely strong, and it took less than half a day for them to declare complete adaptation to their new bodies.
Although this was the quickest possible adjustment, there were still three days left until the seal was due to be broken.
In these three days, the Dragon Knights began to reacclimate in space to the White Dragons, now with enhanced long-range attack and endurance capabilities. At the same time, a small note was almost stuck in every Dragon Rider’s cockpit: Note, the new White Dragon’s defensive power is almost zero, the first choice when in danger is to flee, absolutely do not engage in any attempts to fight back.
This is an order from Long Yi for all Dragon Knights to stick in their own Dragon Rider cockpits. The Commanders leading the Dragon Knights, coming from the Human Realm, and some of the high-level commanders who had fought alongside Long Yi, were accustomed to Long Yi’s constant battlefield adjustments and even found it endearing. So, when Long Yi casually mentioned: "It’s best to keep the phrase ’escape at any time’ displayed in every Dragon Rider’s cockpit," the entire White Dragon Knight Order immediately complied.
