Chapter 529: Chapter 416: Absolutely Can’t Beat Them
Long Yi was fighting with all his might, Lingling transformed into a crystal greatsword, the blade radiating a deadly aura, severely wounding the Dragon Knights in front of him.
Yes, severely wounding, not defeating.
These Dragon Knights possessed immense strength, and their self-healing abilities were astonishing. If they couldn’t be killed quickly, they would be able to recover at a rapid pace!
No, they can’t fight this! They couldn’t win!
Long Yi was initially expecting this battle to be tough, but he had no idea it would be this difficult! The Dragon Knights of the Black Dragon Empire were so troublesome to deal with.
Long Yi’s previous attacks on the Black Dragon Empire were mainly targeted at the undead warriors. And while these were happening, the Dragon Knights, who were the backbone of the Black Dragon Empire, continued to grow stronger!
"Little Zi! Help!"
Little Zi instantly flew out, and her thirteen female demon avatars flew towards different battlefields. With the aid of these female demons, the situation on the battlefield seemed to alleviate somewhat. However, as the female demons joined the battle, a halo lit up above every Dragon Knight and their Mount Dragons.
"It’s the mind barrier!"
Little Zi screamed.
As expected, Long Yi bitterly smiled, the Black Dragon Empire was fully prepared to prevent Little Zi from joining!
"Little Zi! Tell the commander! We can’t win! We must retreat!"
Little Zi didn’t move, instead, she informed Long Yi: "Brother Long, the commander just fell off his dragon."
"Fell off? Isn’t he in the rear?"
"No, he was trying to boost morale a while ago and ended up falling off. He seems to have been severely injured..."
"What the hell is this idiot thinking! Isn’t it enough to have me out here? Can’t he properly lay out assignments instead of trying to boost ’damn morale’?"
Long Yi immediately started cursing. At this moment, two black dragons attacked him from both sides, their foul dragon breath spraying out, followed by two extremely sharp fighting aura attacks!
"Damn it, this dragon breath and fighting aura combo is quite smooth."
Long Yi countered with two of his own fighting aura attacks, using his innate skills to directly break down the opponent’s fighting aura. At the same time, Bajie sprayed out molten iron in retaliation. Seeing this, the black dragon knight facing them immediately turned his head to dodge, only to be met with dozens of self-destructive beetles.
Boom! Boom!
The beetles exploded simultaneously, and the huge impact knocked a Dragon Knight off his dragon. Below, Mosquito appeared. With a swift and slender stroke of her sword to the back of the Dragon Knight’s neck, the Dragon Power combined with Nine Mosquito Dragon’s venom erupted in the knight’s brain. Still, the Dragon Knight managed a retaliatory strike, knocking both the Nine Mosquito Dragon and Mosquito away.
The Giant Swallow Dragon, who was covering Long Yi from the side, inhaled forcefully. This miraculous suction pulled Mosquito directly into its mouth!
"Spit it out!"
Almost simultaneously, the Giant Swallow Dragon spit Mosquito out.
"Are you alright!" shouted the chef, who was commanding the beetles.
Mosquito was clutching her chest, grimacing in pain.
"Don’t worry, I won’t die! And whatever you do, don’t ask me what I saw inside that thing’s mouth!"
Time was passing, but Long Yi frowned. Dragon Knights from both sides were continually falling from the sky, but the number of those from the White Dragon Empire was significantly more!
Each time a Dragon Knight screamed and fell, it was as if they fell directly onto everyone’s hearts. As the number of falling Dragon Knights grew, the morale of the entire legion fell dramatically, and this dropping morale led to even more rampant attacks from the enemy!
They definitely couldn’t fight any longer!
"Retreat!" Long Yi suddenly shouted.
Even though the Dragon Knights in combat didn’t understand why, they instinctively began covering each other and started to retreat, as if they were clutching at straws.
Strangely enough, when the Dragon Knights from the White Dragon Empire returned to their borders, the Dragon Knights from the Black Dragon Empire didn’t pursue them, and they silently returned to their lines.
This battle.
They had definitely lost.
On the battlefield, no smiles could be seen on any Dragon Knights’ faces anymore.
"Brother Long, the count is in." Wesley whispered in Long Yi’s ear.
"How did it go?"
"We lost thirteen Dragon Knights, two giant dragons died, one hundred and seventy-six people were severely injured, and a thousand and thirty people were lightly injured," Wesley’s voice trembled.
"All in this short period of time?"
"Yes..."
"And the enemy?"
"We don’t know the specifics, but from what I’ve seen, about three died, mostly concentrated around you. There might be more than twenty severely injured, mostly due to Bajie’s dragon breath. As for light injuries... well, they are not really considered injuries," Wesley said.
Long Yi silently nodded, not saying anything.
The atmosphere was oppressing.
Long Yi had given his best, but this battlefront, extending over tens of kilometers, was not something Long Yi alone could control.
Long Yi in the center, Ai Lin and Suolin on each side, and the female demon kept on disturbing the enemies.
Long Yi had done everything he could.
But, it was of no use.
In this purely dragon knight duel, the White Dragon Empire didn’t stand a chance.
From the initial utter confidence on the faces of the dragon knights, despair had taken over within an hour.
Everyone present was a military professional, who understood very well that this was a completely non-equal fight. The strength of the opponent was formidable, so much so that it made one feel they hadn’t even used their full strength yet!
On the other hand, the White Dragon knights were already out of tactics.
Sitting there, the knight’s minds were full of thoughts. Some optimistic warriors tried to encourage their comrades, but all they received in response was silence.
Just then, a commotion occurred.
"Where is Long Yi! Where is Long Yi!"
Turning around, Long Yi saw a knight in commander’s armor charging straight at him.
He was the on-site commander of today’s battle, the vice captain of the First Dragon Riders, Bruto.
"Did you issue the retreat order?" Bruto roared at Long Yi.
"I did." Long Yi replied.
"You’re a disgrace to the empire! Not only do you overstep your authority, but you’re also retreating without determining the outcome of this battle. Haven’t you always boasted you’re the strongest? Is this all you’re capable of?"
Slowly standing up, Long Yi looked down at Bruto. He grabbed his helmet, the steel deforming in his hand, tightening around his head. Then, with brute force, he twisted Bruto’s head towards the resting place of the dragon knights.
"Look carefully with your dog’s eyes, Vice Captain Bruto. Look at your Earth Dragon Knights. Tell me with the little pathetic bit of brain you have, what do you mean by ’the outcome isn’t determined yet’?"
Almost every knight was watching. Bruto’s eyes twitched.
"Bastard, you dare insult me?"
Bruto roared out.
"Screw insult! You didn’t diligently carry out your duties and come up with tactics. Instead, you ran to the front line to gift the enemy easy kills? Why the hell didn’t you break your neck? Wanting military honors? Want to leave a name for all eternity? Look what happened, in less than five minutes into battle, you crashed your dragon. Where were your battle arrangements then? Where were the on-the-spot adjustments? Did you see your knights being suppressed and out of breath? Now you have the face to say I’m insulting you? Open your damn dog eyes! Look at your warriors! Look at their frightened eyes! Tell me what the outcome is! The outcome has been decided! You lost! Lost!! Lost!!!"
Long Yi’s voice was like a hammer, smashing hard in everyone’s chest. Some female dragon knights couldn’t help but cry.
However, Long Yi was smiling.
"See, Vice Captain Bruto, your frightened dragon knights have been scared to tears."
Those words were hard on all.
"Bastard!"
Bruto cursed out, and all the knights glared at Long Yi.
"Oh? What, not cool? Not satisfied? Pissed off? Screw off! Do you still have the face to glare at me? Look at your actions just now! Weren’t you scared? Weren’t you afraid? Why aren’t you afraid of me? I’m much more powerful than the Black Dragon Knights. Why aren’t you scared of me? Ah! Right, because you know I won’t kill you, right?"
Long Yi flung Bruto to one side, Ai Lin hurried to support him.
"That bastard, I’ll kill him!" Bruto struggled to get up, but beside him Ai Lin whispered, "Vice Captain, please calm down. Things aren’t what you think."
The natural charisma of Fairy Dragon calmed Bruto down, and of course, Little Zi giggling to the side helped as well.
"You don’t like me? Coward!"
Long Yi approached a dragon knight; in his arms, a female dragon knight was crying.
That dragon knight glared at Long Yi because he had made his girlfriend so sad.
"Looking at your eyes, you’re clearly dissatisfied. Why? Because the coward in your arms is crying?"
"You’ve gone too far, Long Yi!" The dragon knight jumped up and roared!
"Sit your damn ass down!"
Bang! A kick knocked the two of them to the ground.
"Such bravery? But who was the one trembling here just now? It wasn’t me!" Long Yi chuckled. "Let’s see, poor girl, you’re injured. It’s okay, in the next battle, you may die anyway, why bother wasting the bandages."
Finishing his words, Long Yi moved on to the next person.
"Oh? You’re glaring at me too? You’re not happy with me either? Why so?" Long Yi grabbed the collar of the person, lifting him up.
"Answer me! You coward! Why are you unhappy with me!"
"Because you’re insulting us!" The dragon knight yelled out.
"I... am insulting you all?"
Long Yi paused.
Then, he punched the dragon knight in the face.
"Bullshit! Am I insulting you all? I’m only stating the facts! You’re just a bunch of cowards! The biggest cowards one can ever be!" Long Yi roared out aloud. (To be continued.
