I'm a dragon, I only want to steal princesses

Chapter 34 The Knight King of the Empire
In the early morning of two days later, Li Yao woke up suddenly in the cellar.

"My lord..."

As soon as Shi Shi's voice appeared, Li Yuan interrupted him: "I already know."

What should come, will still come.

With the further restoration of the tower, the monitoring range of the [Watcher] has now expanded to a radius of three to four kilometers.

Nothing happened these two days, there was no movement on the side of the empire, not even a scout came.

Fortunately, Li Yuan never let down his vigilance, and now he clearly felt that there were many intruders at the border of the surveillance range, and from the position, they happened to be facing the Imperial Longkou Fortress.

"There are really air units."

After projecting the [Watcher], Li Yuan found that many of the intrusion targets were in the air. Judging from the outline, they should be Wyverns.

The so-called sub-dragon creatures domesticated by the empire include not only land dragons, but also bipedal wyverns. Li Yuan has already heard this information from Zhenna.

Wyverns are known as one of the sub-dragon creatures closest to true dragons. Like true dragons, they have wings that can soar into the sky, but instead of extra forelimbs, they have hook-like claws at the joints of the wings.

The cost of domesticating a wyvern is very high. In the knight order of the empire, only the most elite knights can be selected to be the cavalry of the wyvern.

Of the five bipedal dragons, three of them were riding knights, and the other two bipedal dragons just followed the leading flying dragon's sides.

And on the ground, there are six knights on horseback.

Five sub-dragon mounts, eight knights led by a legendary warrior, or a coordinated attack from the air and the ground?

"Heh, you think highly of me."

Although Li Yuan had long thought that this wave of formation would definitely surpass Heinrich's team, this battle was still slightly beyond his imagination.

He focused his attention on the array of flying dragons marching in formation in the air, and [Watcher] projected a specific picture.

He saw three knights on the backs of flying dragons, two of them were carrying the dragon-hunting ballistas he had seen, and the leading knight riding on the back of the largest flying dragon was wrapped in a set of unique armor, and the only weapon in his hand was a long sword.

In the danger assessment of [Watcher], the other knights and Wyverns had a green aura, but the leading knight had a strong black aura around him.

Black means that the target's strength is far above that of the tower master, and if you fight with it, you will be close to death!
Today's Li Yuan has evolved to the level of a mature dragon with the restoration of the Infinity Tower.

To be able to widen such a large gap in combat power with a mature red dragon, there is no doubt that it is the top powerhouse in the legendary realm-the blade of the iron-blooded queen, the knight king of the empire, Lucio!
That black aura made Li Yuan feel the dangerous aura rushing towards his face, and the fighting spirit and fear surged up at the same time, making him instinctively let out a low growl from his throat.

"Please order, my lord." Shitou appeared, half kneeling in front of Li Yuan.

"According to the previously discussed plan to meet the enemy, the Tower of Infinity is in an emergency state and is running at full power. You go to defend against the targets on the ground, and I will deal with the ones in the air. Don't let anyone approach the Tower of Infinity! Prepare all means of attack and follow my instructions!" Li Yuan quickly issued an order.

The dragon is in the tower, and the dragon is dead when the tower is dead.

His fate is bound to the Infinity Tower. In this world, he has no way out and can only fight with his back!
"understand!"

After the stone finished speaking, his body suddenly began to swell, becoming a big man of about 1.9 meters. At the same time, two slightly slender stone figures appeared beside him. They turned around and quickly put on the knight equipment placed in the corner of the cellar.

On the fifth floor of the Temple of the Sun, Zhenna was doing morning exercises with a big sword and shield when she suddenly noticed that the Tower of Infinity began to vibrate slightly, and a bell-like sound came from the walls and floor.

This is a signal that the Endless Tower has entered a state of emergency.

She opened her eyes wide in surprise, and immediately understood.

Li Yuan appeared at the entrance of the corridor and met her eyes.

"It's Lucio." Li Yuan only made such a brief explanation.

"I see." Zhenna nodded, turned and went to her room to put on the armor.

In the past two days, they have done a lot of simulations and preparations for the battle together.

And now, the time has finally come for them to fight hand in hand for survival.
-
Lucio saw flames erupting from the broken tower, and a red dragon suddenly appeared.

Then, the red dragon flew into the sky and charged straight towards them.

With a distance of more than two kilometers, the red dragon detected their group of intruders in advance.

Lucio was not surprised by this. After learning that the three excellent spies went to the Red Dragon's lair and lost contact, he guessed that the owner here had some kind of powerful means of sensing the surroundings.

Since even master-level assassins couldn't get close, he no longer sent scouts to kill him, and directly led the entire army to launch an assault from the front.

His strength qualified him to be so simple and rude.

As a legendary warrior, he possesses a long-range visual acuity that is comparable to that of a falcon.

From this distance, he was able to see every detail of the red dragon.

He immediately saw two problems.

One is that according to the information obtained from various sources, the red dragon Kuja entrenched here is just a red dragon that has just grown up.

But the red dragon's physique and scale color, no matter how you look at it, has reached the level of a mature man over two hundred years old.

He is one of the most experienced dragon slayers in the empire, and he still has a certain degree of confidence in his judgment in this regard.

Is the intelligence gone wrong?Or is this mature red dragon replacing Kuja as the master here?

A sufficiently cunning and strong adult red dragon could indeed overturn Heinrich's team.

Fortunately, this deviation does not matter to him.

Opponents below Gu Long are all the same to him.

In comparison, the figure he saw riding on the back of the red dragon was more worthy of his attention.

"His Royal Highness Zhenna?"

He recognized at a glance that the man was wearing Zhenna's rune heavy armor, and then put on the standard helmet of an ordinary knight.

Zhen Na, the little queen of the empire, neither died nor fled to other places.

She has been hiding in the red dragon's lair, and now she stands up and fights side by side with the red dragon.

Until now, Lucio has fought seven dragons and slaughtered four dragons. This is the first time he has seen a real dragon willing to let humans ride on his back and fight side by side with humans.

He didn't know why the Red Dragon let Princess Zhenna go and was willing to fight alongside her, but in this way, the destruction of Heinrich's team finally had a fully reasonable explanation.

It doesn't matter anymore.

He clenched the sword in his hand tightly, whether it was an adult red dragon or a mature red dragon, and one more paladin at the master level, in front of him, they were all the same!

When the distance between the two sides was shortened to 500 meters, the red dragon spoke first, letting out a roar of piercing clouds and cracking stones, and the majestic dragon power was released from him.

"Get out!!" Li Yuan issued an order to expel those wyverns in dragon language.

With the dragon's power and the dragon's roar, even if the knights can survive with willpower, the wyverns, as sub-dragons, will absolutely not be able to resist this kind of instinctive suppression. They will fall into an uncontrollable panic, causing the flying formation to collapse completely.

But at this time, Lucio on the dragon's back also raised his long sword and let out a long howl.

It was clearly a human's roar, but it was as deafening as the roar of thunder, and it was even as powerful as the dragon's roar in terms of momentum.

Hearing this battle cry, the passionate fighting spirit rose in the eyes of other knights and wyverns.

The "fearless battle cry" of soldiers can dispel their own fears, enter a state of high fighting spirit and prepare for battle, and at the same time have a strong deterrent effect on enemies.

With Lucio's legendary state, his battle cry can cover an entire army that is loyal to him, and it can even work on those domesticated animals that are willing to listen to his instructions.

And its deterrent effect is not inferior to Gu Long's roar.

The Wyvern he was riding took the lead, and carried him bravely to charge towards the red dragon, which was many times bigger than himself.
