The Mighty Dragons Are Dead

Facing the Knight's Spear that had nearly claimed her life.

There wasn't a flicker in Emily's gaze as she quickly raised her own Knight's Spear, imbued with Thunder Attribute Dou Qi, and thrust forward just as firmly.

In an instant, the two horses brushed past each other.

Crack!

The shaft of the spear broke.

Yet, the spearhead had already pierced through the opponent's chest—she had killed another Earth Knight.

But it was to no avail; the knights of Coral Island were steadily diminishing.

From over a thousand knights, several charges had already cost them a third of their numbers. Behind the Roaring Knights, new knights were continuously emerging. These were not elites, mostly ragtag troops, but they provided potent support on the battlefield.

In response to the invaders, Marquis Nuta had dispatched nearly all of the available knight orders to assault the river source, likely totaling over three thousand.

Intent on utterly annihilating the Coral Island Knights here.

Emily didn't know what the final outcome would be, nor did she have the mind to ponder these issues. Each enemy knight she killed made her feel feverish all over.

Endless strength surged from every limb and bone, urging her to continue the slaughter.

"Charge!"

With a fierce shout, she had become the leading knight of a Knight Squad, the fourth Knight's Spear in hand, targeting the black knight straight ahead, and launched another ferocious charge. The Thunder Attribute Dou Qi spread around her, somehow causing the disintegrating Dou Qi around her to reconvene, twist, and interweave.

The knights behind her felt as if their own Dou Qi were responding to something, receiving a massive boost.

Following this surge, the knights roared with frenzy: "Charge!"

"Charge!"

"Charge!"

...

Run!

Run again!

Liszt found that he couldn't contend with Marquis Nuta, who controlled the Knight Order's Dou Qi, but Marquis Nuta wasn't fast enough to truly chase him down.

Realizing this,

his mind spun wildly. The impatience and arrogance he had felt before battle had completely shattered, now carefully dealing with each crisis as it came.

A glance revealed that although Li Weiliam was in grave danger, being a seasoned Sword Saint and specializing in the enduring, tenacious Water-Attribute Dou Qi, he wouldn't be defeated so easily.

"Dimaria's method of harnessing the Knight Order's Dou Qi is too strong. If I don't break this technique, we're sure to lose the battle! The only strategy now is to slaughter the Roaring Knights first and cut off Marquis Nuta's source of Knight Order Dou Qi!" Normally, it's best to capture the leader first, but when the leader is too powerful, you must trim the wings instead.

Dragon Dou Qi whirled madly, barely stretching the distance between them.

Liszt quickly switched to the Swift Shadow Bow, and with an elegant Turn-Back-To-Look-At-The-Moon shot, three arrows in a T formation struck at the Roaring Knights, those whom Marquis Nuta couldn't protect.

Boom!

Boom!

Each exploding arrow created a blast of flames, engulfing several knights clad in black, riding black horses.

"Cease!" For the first time, Marquis Nuta spoke up, his voice thundering across the sky of the Knight Order by some method unknown.

Liszt's eyes shone brighter upon hearing this; to him, enemy threats usually meant he was doing something right.

He darted away to the distance once more, looked back at the moon, and with three arrows, decimated a group of knights. After several exchanges, Marquis Nuta got nothing but dust following Liszt; he achieved no other merits. Instead, Liszt grew happier with each shot, gaining insight and coordinating with the Coral Island Knights.

He observed the charging momentum of the Coral Island Knights and pinpointed and removed the resistance squads of the Roaring Knights.

For a Dragon Knight to deal with a group of Earth Knights was like using an anti-aircraft gun to shoot mosquitoes; it seemed like bullying, yet the effect was significant.

Armed with just a bow and a continuous supply of arrows from his Gemstone Space, he was like a rocket launcher with an infinite rapid-fire cheat, shooting non-stop, blasting without end.

"Stop!"

"Liszt!"

"You coward!"

"Fight me if you dare!"

As Marquis Nuta watched Liszt rapidly depleting the elite of the Roaring Knights, his heart bled, and he roared repeatedly. But he couldn't catch up to Liszt, and when he tried to treat the Coral Island Knights the same way, Liszt would cleverly shoot towards the direction he could rescue the Roaring Knights.

Killing a group of Common Earth Knights or saving his own Roaring Knights' elite was a dilemma Marquis Nuta had no choice but to face.

He dared not fail to rescue them, for the Roaring Knights were the source of his power.

Without the Roaring Knights' concentrated Dou Qi, he couldn't stand a chance against Liszt, the inheritor of the Ancient Warrior legacy. From their first encounter, he knew that this young knight, who aroused such envy, was undoubtedly one of the top combatants among Ancient Warriors, and he had to exert the true power of a Completion Level Sky Knight!

Completion Level Sky Knights are the pinnacle of knights beneath Dragon Knights.

However, most Completion Level Sky Knights without the continuous explorations and inherited legacy of a family struggle to realize their full strength, usually being only slightly stronger than a Sword Saint.

But for a Nobles like the Yu Huashi Family with hundreds of years of heritage,

they naturally have generations of explorations and passed-down true combat methods reserved for Completion Level Sky Knights—the Dou Qi Domain.

Completion Level Sky Knights that have mastered the Dou Qi Domain are known within the Nobles circles by another name—Domain Knights.

The Dou Qi of the knights from the Roaring Knights resonated under the influence of a Domain Knight's Dou Qi, creating a massive Dou Qi enhancement that formed the Domain Knight's territory. In this domain, a Domain Knight was nearly invincible, with any enemy struggling under their overwhelming power.

This was also the reason knight families, besides Dragon Knights, were able to steadily erode the legacy of Ancient Warriors and Ancient Magicians. Although individual Sky Knights weren't too powerful, with the addition of a domain, they could wield strength to stand against top Ancient Warriors, coupled with the charge of a Knight Order.

In the competition between families, the knights always emerged victorious in the end.

Dragon Knights were just a transient flash in the pan, while Domain Knights were the true foundation of great Noble families.

...

Yet, an unforeseen surprise occurred for Marquis Nuta.

He didn't know that Liszt wasn't an Ancient Warrior; instead, he was a Quasi-Dragon Knight who had failed to ride a dragon.

Thus, Liszt wasn't crushed, and utilizing his explosive archery skills, he kept destroying the foundation of Marquis Nuta's domain—with each knight slain, the Dou Qi Domain weakened.

This caused Marquis Nuta to feel anger and panic simultaneously.

After being tossed around several times, the domain provided by the Roaring Knights had drastically weakened, severely reducing the power available to him. The tables had turned once again, and the Coral Island Knights began to slaughter the Roaring Knights pinpointed by Liszt.

The supporting miscellaneous Knight Orders collapsed one by one under Liszt's archery.

As his archery skills displayed their magic, Liszt became more excited. He could clearly feel Marquis Nuta's power waning. Yet, to prevent the enemy from having a chance to turn the tables, he continued with a kite-fighting strategy, constantly weakening the Roaring Knights. He even found time to shoot the four Sky Knights, supporting Li Weiliam.

Soaring into the sky, he scattered arrows.

At the edge of Liszt's lips, a handsome curve rose again, "The mishap earlier happened; now, everything is back in my control!"
