Chapter 1652: Chapter 1237: Truly Honest
For the behavior of the Red Dragon Elder, it was all within Long Yi’s expectations; he just didn’t expect the two elders to rush over before the battle even ended.
"In fact, I have already discussed an improvement plan for the Red Dragons with the Creator God Simu. It’s just that there hasn’t been a chance to implement it, so this time I’ve decided to focus on strengthening the Red Dragons," said Long Yi.
The two Red Dragon Elders immediately left with ecstatic expressions. Long Yi also couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief; the technical aspect of improving the Dragon Clan wasn’t difficult for him, what was difficult was the level of acceptance within the Dragon Clan. Initially, the White Dragons were not very receptive to the improvements, but after this war, they should gradually adapt to their own roles. At the moment, Black Dragons still seem to be the main force in combat that can both hit and endure, so they probably don’t need changes for now. Only the Red Dragons, in this war, really found themselves in an awkward position. The Red Dragons are best at high-temperature Dragon Breath, but in the cold expanse of the universe, the temperature dissipates very quickly, and the heat of the Dragon Breath is greatly reduced even before it can hit the enemy. The simplest solution is to reduce the distance to the enemy, but that means putting themselves in danger. Although Red Dragons can launch Dragon Breath missiles by condensing the compressed Dragon Breath into clusters for long-range bombardment, this is not their main form of attack, so the power of the Dragon Breath missiles is also very limited.
Therefore, how to change this awkward situation is the primary issue.
Initially, Long Yi wanted the Red Dragons to show some proficiency in explosive power, but now it seems that their role should change. In Long Yi’s memory, on Earth, there are two different approaches to dealing with thick metal armor: the first is to use a very thin and hard core at high speed to pierce the enemy’s armor, but clearly, there is no similar platform for such projectiles at the moment. The second approach is to use a high-temperature, high-speed metal jet to instantly open a breach in the armor.
Based on the characteristics of the Red Dragons, the second approach would be more suitable for them.
So, to do this, the first step is to start with the improvement of the Dragon Breath missile.
In the past, the Dragon Breath missile for the Red Dragons was like a remotely thrown incendiary bomb. Firing an imprecise incendiary bomb from a very distant location, the raging flames then consumed everything. But in space, this kind of sloppy fighting style definitely won’t work.
Dragon Breath is precious, not a speck should be wasted en route.
Long Yi and Simu tried several different magic combinations. Without Ai Lin and Little Zi by his side, Long Yi could only consult with Simu about magic research. The main purpose of this combination of spells was to compress the Dragon Breath, using external magic to compress a large amount of Dragon Breath to a critical point on the verge of explosion. After completing this spell, Long Yi once again summoned Long Er to further improve the spell, continuing to compress the Dragon Breath so that this spell could only maintain its form for a short while after leaving the lungs of the Dragon Clan—this was also the intended flight duration of the Dragon Breath missile from its launch to hitting the enemy.
Then, at the moment the Dragon Breath missile hit the enemy, the spell at the point of contact would suddenly create an opening. Consequently, the extremely compressed Red Dragon Breath would be instantly ignited, and at the point of contact, the entire energy of the Dragon Breath would be ejected in a very short period of time.
Using the same principle as an Armor-Piercing Bomb, this was Long Yi’s plan.
All the Red Dragons were waiting for Long Yi’s plan to be finalized; when Long Yi finally presented it, the Red Dragons became excited, as their Dragon Breath would no longer be futile against the Heavy Dragon Beasts.
According to the projected results, a single perfect, precise hit could penetrate the head armor of a Heavy Dragon Beast—assuming that the Heavy Dragon Beasts’ head armor remains unchanged next time.
While improving the Red Dragons, Long Yi did not forget the White Dragons. During the previous battles, some issues with the White Dragons came to light, such as their Dragon Breath not recovering fast enough among others. For this, Long Yi also made some fine adjustments to the White Dragons, slightly reducing some of their other attributes to enhance their long-range output capabilities, which means the White Dragons must be even more cautious from now on.
The statistical results of this battle showed that over twenty million enemy Dragon Beasts had been completely wiped out, while our side had one hundred and thirty thousand Giant Dragons injured to various degrees, with one thousand killed. However, the good news was that no Dragon Knights had died.
Long before the war, Long Yi had already marked the Dragon Souls of all the Giant Dragons, so that as soon as any Giant Dragon fell in battle, its Dragon Soul would immediately return to the soul container. The soul container would then allocate a new Dragon Egg for it to be reborn. However, there would be at least three days where it would be unable to fight.
So, for a war like this, a one-to-one exchange was acceptable. The biggest fear was a severe disadvantage, where if the frontlines could not hold during the time of the Giant Dragons’ rebirth, then a real tragedy would occur.
Giant Dragons can be reborn, but Dragon Knights cannot. Long Yi clearly told every Dragon Knight that they do not have a second chance at life; either be careful not to die, or wait for your dragons to choose their next Dragon Knight. Long Yi did this to prevent Dragon Knights from getting carried away and forgetting themselves when gaining even a slight advantage. He wanted to tell them that while your dragons can afford to die, you cannot.
