Chapter 371: Chapter 270: The Legendary Powerful Fairy Dragon
But Long Yi had no idea about these inner secrets.
Training with Long Yi is a once-in-a-lifetime chance. Progress comes from taking on the strong, an age-old truth that no one opposed.
"Ok, let’s start with Ai Lin first."
Long Yi said.
This time, Long Yi focused on training Ai Lin’s capabilities in large-scale combat. He wasn’t too worried about Wesley and the three chefs, after all, they’re all shrewd. Even if they can’t win, they can at least escape. Ai Lin may be smart, but only in areas of study. On a day-to-day basis, she seems a bit dazed. Dazed yet adorable, but dangerous in combat.
"Let’s warm up with twenty people first." Long Yi said.
Twenty people to warm up?
Even though they were facing the legendary Fairy Dragon, the Dragon Knights present still felt a sense of being underestimated.
Twenty dragons soared into the sky, followed by Ai Lin.
"Start, don’t hold back, just attack!"
Long Yi shouted loudly.
Then, within fifteen minutes, the battle was over.
Ai Lin was still calm and composed, while the twenty Dragon Knights were hanging their heads in shame.
"Cough cough, brothers, I did say not to hold back. You’re facing the Fairy Dragon’s Magic Fighter, who has an extremely strong melee ability. Once she charges at you, you’ll be knocked off your dragon in no time. Look at the brother who sprained his ankle, he must have felt it the most. So I’ll repeat, during training, you’d better go all out. Moreover, try to cover for your teammates more." Long Yi said.
"So, shall we try again?" Long Yi asked cautiously.
"Yes!"
The twenty Dragon Knights lifted their heads with a determined look in their eyes! If they lost, they had to win it back!
Truth be told, these twenty men didn’t really take Ai Lin seriously at first. Such a delicate little girl, beautiful and cute. Who would have thought that she could have such a terrifying attack power? Looking back, if this was on the battlefield, they probably wouldn’t even have a life, would they?
Twenty Flying Dragons once again soared into the sky, however, the unlucky guy with the sprained ankle was replaced.
This time, the one-sided fight didn’t happen again.
After all, this is the Fifth Legion, the real regular army. Covering and blocking tactics were used perfectly. On the other hand, Ai Lin used her flexible movements and complex magic to constantly find the enemy’s gaps.
Captain Sweel’s eyes were full of surprise. He never expected that the Fairy Dragon’s attack would be so sharp, watching her fight in the air was like watching a beautiful dance. If Ai Lin was already this strong, how powerful would Long Yi be?
At this moment, the Dragon Knights in the sky were under tremendous pressure. Because Ai Lin, with her speed and powerful attack, was constantly putting pressure on them. Although Ai Lin seemed to have low defense, she was too agile for ordinary attacks to work. The Dragon Knights in the sky changed their formations several times, trying to surround Ai Lin, but each time, Ai Lin used her complex magic to escape the encirclement and counter-attacked.
Unknowingly, everyone was using all their strength under the great pressure. At this moment, they weren’t thinking about training anymore. They only had one simple word in their eyes.
Victory or defeat!
But in the end, Ai Lin still won. She keenly caught a mistake from the other side, then launched a fierce attack, knocking down one person. Then she immediately attacked the second person who came to help. Just like dominos, the victory or defeat was determined in an instant.
This time, it’s obvious that Ai Lin tried her best and was also breaking a sweat.
"Good, let’s try fifty people next!" Long Yi said. "Before that, do you want to devise some tactics first?"
Faced with Ai Lin’s coming challenge, these fifty people cautiously decided to devise tactics first. Even when facing the Black Dragon Empire’s Dragon Knights, they had never been so careful. In a war, the commanders of both sides would allocate forces according to the strength of the enemy. The Black Dragon Empire and the White Dragon Empire were roughly equal in strength, and the commander would naturally send forces of similar strength to fight. Rarely would there be a situation where the weak faced the strong. Even if the enemy was too strong, the commander’s first thought would be either retreat or support, no one would risk losing Dragon Knights to charge ahead.
But now, there is definitely nowhere to run, and there’s definitely no chance of support, leaving them no choice but to come up with a solution.
Here, Ai Lin stood tall as the final boss, while Long Yi went over to Vincent’s side.
"Buddy, long time no see." Long Yi greeted Vincent with a smile. Vincent had a dark look on his face and awkwardly nodded at Long Yi. He was extremely nervous, wishing Long Yi would ignore him, but he didn’t expect Long Yi to come straight to him.
At this time, a few Dragon Knights who loved stirring up trouble saw Long Yi’s actions from a distance and immediately started to make a commotion.
"Right! Didn’t Vincent say that every time he sees Long Yi, he will crush him once? Now that Long Yi is here, we are all waiting!" One soldier shouted, his face bruising from Ai Lin’s hit earlier. The young soldier had been holding back a bellyful of anger and seeing the usually smug Vincent acting so evasively, he immediately pulled him down into the water without any hesitation.
"Huh? Really?" Long Yi pretended to be surprised and looked at Vincent immediately. At this point, Vincent wished he could slap himself hard. Who would have thought that Long Yi would appear here again? Kidding, fighting against Long Yi, how many lives does he have to squander? Even if Long Yi really defeated the Black Dragon Empire’s Yake Black by luck, that luck alone would be enough to defeat him.
"Is that true?" Long Yi stared at Vincent and asked.
Right now, Vincent really wanted to yell ’yes’! After that, he would burst out his Fighting Aura, use his unique aura technique to cut down Long Yi, and take Ai Lin away. All the Dragon Knights instantly felt his dominance and knelt down one after another, shouting "Brother Vincent".
But his sense told him that once he uttered this word, he would be dead today.
"There’s no such thing, don’t listen to their nonsense!" Vincent immediately said.
"Right, there’s no such thing!" Linter echoed from the side.
"Linter, you’re okay then?" Long Yi looked at Linter with a smile. At the beginning, Long Yi threw Linter down from the tower. If it hadn’t been for Vincent’s quick response, he might have fallen to his death. But now, Linter dared not show any dissatisfaction, but wore a smile, almost servile.
"I’m okay! Thank you for your concern, Lord Long Yi!" Linter hastily answered. When Long Yi first rode on the dragon, he almost killed him. Now, Long Yi’s dragon is adult, and he has no chance of winning.
"Really?" Long Yi questioned again.
"Really!" Vincent stated firmly. The first time he lied, it felt a bit awkward, but once he had said it, all that was left was self-evident.
"Okay, never mind if it isn’t." Long Yi grinned and stepped back. After all, he was just coming to tease Vincent out of boredom. If they were really going to fight, Vincent wouldn’t be decent enough.
Never mind?
This bastard was indeed here to cause trouble for me! Seeing Long Yi leaving, Vincent felt relieved as if he had escaped from death. He glanced at Linter next to him. Both of them turned pale with terror.
Seeing that Vincent was okay, the soldiers immediately started making a racket.
At this time, among the Dragon Knights, a captain-like figure immediately yelled a few times, and everyone quieted down.
At this moment, Long Yi was standing aside, quietly watching the Dragon Knights formulate a plan, watching Ai Lin prepare.
Then, the Dragon Knights and Ai Lin rose together, and the battle began. Long Yi’s eyes were on Ai Lin, but his mind was elsewhere.
This was just a sudden flash of inspiration.
It seemed that he had made a few good friends in the year he joined the Dragon Knight Academy, but also made quite a few enemies. Some people were genuinely impressed by Long Yi, while others were merely afraid to provoke him because of his power.
The latter group was actually the most troublesome because some of them could potentially become Long Yi’s enemies at some point.
So, was there a way to know who they were?
Long Yi told Wesley his thoughts, and Wesley thought it over. Suddenly he whispered a bunch of words into Long Yi’s ear. Long Yi took a look at Linter in the distance, then looked at Wesley.
"Will this work?"
"It will. I know such people best. They’re the most cowardly when they have no one to rely on. But once they have someone to lean on, they can become overbold," Wesley said.
"Should I bring it up?"
"Absolutely not!" Wesley waved his hands. "If you bring it up, it will be exposed soon. Leave this to me, Brother Long. I’m not good at fighting, but I’m quite skilled at scheming and plotting!"
Long Yi laughed.
Scheming and plotting, he was no good at all.
This was just a minor interlude. Long Yi didn’t take it seriously and soon forgot about it. But little did he know, this little event would do him a big favor. But that was something to talk about much later.
The battle in the sky was intensifying, and Ai Lin was trapped in a tough fight due to the strategic and numerical advantage of the enemy. Her major handicap was the lack of a mighty Flying Dragon for cover. She had to rely on her agility to evade the enemy’s attacks. Ordinary Dragon Riders could even use their Mount Dragons to resist the Fighting Aura techniques, although Ai Lin herself could neutralize part of the damage of the Fighting Aura techniques, she was not like a Giant Dragon with rough skin and thick flesh, and if she took too many hits, it would greatly deplete her stamina.
Ai Lin was already becoming tired at this point.
With three consecutive battles, the first was just for fun, the second was a bit tiring. And this one, she had to pry an opening in the tightly-knit defense of the enemy, which was extremely difficult.
To deal with Dragon Riders was not difficult, but dealing with their Mount Dragons indeed stumped Ai Lin a bit. Ai Lin had to evade the attack range of these giant dragons, trying to attack only the Dragon Riders. But how easy was it when she was surrounded by enemies on all sides?
"Brother Long, it seems that Ai Lin is in a stalemate." Wesley said.
"I see it." Long Yi said.
"Not going to help?" Wesley curiously asked.
"No." Long Yi said firmly.
Ai Lin would have to face countless battles in the future, and right now it was not a matter of life and death. Long Yi firmly believed that with Ai Lin’s intelligence, she would quickly find a solution to the current situation. (To be continued.
