Chapter 809,
Chapter 201. The Invasion that started (2)
* * *
Zoroastrian Citadel is a training ground for the dragon knights of Hiran and a space to train their companions, the dragons.
It was because the entire region was composed of dragon knights and prospective dragon knights for the characteristics of dragon knight training and security maintenance.
What the enemy needs is the blood of a strong creature.
From the point of view of the enemy, they were easy to take and were excellent nutrients. Joryongs, even if they were dead, were worth more than the white wolves or the red tigers, and so were the dragon knights.
In addition, by the standards of the enemy tribe, the defense power of the Zoryong Fortress was literally insignificant. As shown in the 2nd level magic tower raid, the enemy tribe quickly took control of the sky over the Zoroastrian Citadel through dimension shift and fleet drop.
The enemy’s Red Fleet opened fire again as soon as they appeared.
The bombardment, which started out of nowhere from above, decimated the entire fort in just a few seconds.
Since it was an attack through space leap, of course, the dragon knights had no time to prepare, and there was no proper way to respond.
“How dare you…”
Kduck!
Dante gritted his teeth as he slashed the rubble and shell fragments that fell overhead.
Normally, Dante works in the second castle of Hiran, but today he visited the Zoroastrian Fortress to check on the dragon knights.
If it weren’t for Dante now.
The enemy would have easily and quickly enjoyed the slaughter and plunder as planned and leisurely got out of Quassel.
“Are you all right, Lord!”
“I’m fine. Take care of the little knights and dragons!”
“yes!”
“Immediately rescue them and evacuate them. You are not an opponent you can stand against. And send one of the fastest dragon knights to the second castle of Hiran to inform them of this.”
“All right!”
The knights beside them scattered, pushing the remains of the collapsing meeting room.
An indescribably deep and wild rage soared, but Dante kept his sanity and went outside. Even at first glance, over a hundred red ships were besieging the fortress.
Those in the central hall with Dante are all top-tier dragon knights. That’s why they didn’t take much damage from the first bombardment, but the dragon knights and dragons on the other side weren’t. The leader of the Dragon Knights, Kalmain, was absent, and all the elite dragon knights had been dispatched throughout the empire.
He saw the corpses of dead dragons and dragons nearby, and heard the screams of his subordinates in his ears. Dante drew his sword while examining the enemy’s flagship with a calm and sharp eye.
‘Enemy clans or fleets are not the only ones that Jin said are strong. Among the passengers, there is a person with transcendent skills.’
Dante was intuitively aware of that fact.
The commander of the Red Fleet, the Red Fleet besieging the citadel, is Drek Horn.
He was the head of the Khan clan of the enemy clan and the newly awakened Great Fighting King. And unlike Rakiman, he was also in a state where he had almost regained the power of his heyday.
“Isn’t that person called Geomwang in the world? They look the same and have great energy. Fellow Henge, why is the author here?”
“Sorry fellow Drek. Currently, Dante Hylan is the head of the empire, so it was not possible to accurately determine the schedule.”
“Okay, I understand. So understand that the Henge compatriots will also become immortals by my will from now on.”
Drek grabbed his head before Henge could even answer.
“Kkeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqqaqaqaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh …”
Then Henge’s gigantic body quickly turned into a tree branch. The blood that escaped from his body turned into red particles and was absorbed into Drek’s grasp. Doug! The sound of the heartbeat falling to the floor made the enemies tense up.
“Open the bridge. I have something to suggest to the Emperor.”
When the flagship’s bridge was opened, Dante was able to see Drek. Drek looked down at Dante and narrowed his eyes curiously.
“The Sword Emperor, I am Drek Horn, the great fighting king of the Red Myeong Tribe. give me a chance Abandon this humble stronghold and flee immediately. If you do, I won’t take your life today. We will return with appropriate blood and you will plan the future.”
Dante wanted to go up and kill Drek right away, but he kept his mouth shut and waited. So that the scattered knights can take care of the injured reserve knights and dragons even a little more.
Drek saw through it and held on to his scorn.
“Even if we clumsily procrastinate for a few seconds, all the humans here today will become our food anyway.”
King’s Sword secret weapon Cheon Gong Il Island.
As soon as Drek finished speaking, Rashid emitted a light. A huge sword was fired as if sweeping the entire Red Fleet in front.
However, Drek blocked Dante’s blow with only the shield of the fleet without using his own power. Derek’s strength, as well as the fleet’s performance and firepower, were incomparable to when Rakiman attacked Kingelo’s 3rd branch.
“Is this the answer? It is indeed a sword that is not lacking in being called Geomwang. It makes me want to go downstairs and mix the weapons myself… But we’re not here to duel. It’s an invasion. It’s a pity.”
The bridge closed and Drek disappeared. Dante roared and opened the sky one after another, but the fleet’s shield only glowed more red the more he did.
Even if the Red Fleet’s protective shield is great, it can’t continue to receive Dante’s secret technique.
However, the problem was that Dante did not have the initiative on the battlefield. While the Red Fleet could strike the entire fortress unilaterally from the sky, Dante had to fight while protecting the dragon knights and dragons.
The shelling started again. The ferocious artillery bombardment with red brains was trampling on the Zoroastrian Fortress. Aware of Dante’s presence, Drek ordered an even more intense bombardment than the first.
‘I can’t save them all.’
Dante had to admit. With her current abilities, she could never protect everyone here.
Perhaps it would have been wiser to accept Drek’s offer and run away. It was a story that Drek also wanted to leave with only his prey rather than suffer a power loss while fighting Dante.
But it’s fortunate that Dante came to the Zoroastrian Citadel today among the first misfortunes.
The second was the fact that Dante did not come alone.
Aaaah…! Big!
Suddenly, an explosion erupted in the sky to the left of the encircled enemy line. Someone attacked the rear of the fleet gathered there.
In the meantime, the enemies had concentrated their power on the frontal shield to block Dante’s attack, so the rear was relatively vulnerable.
No matter how good the enemy’s ship was, it could not withstand the blow of the strongest fighter on the ground without a shield. The enemy tribes hastily deployed a rear shield, but they had already lost two ships.
“…Before giving the honor of becoming an Immortal to a fellow Henge, I should have asked about that human.”
Drek looked at the fleet to his left and sighed.
“This time, is he a human who is a key executive of the Hedo Barmal Union?”
Hedo.
Immediately after hearing the news that Ziffle’s Level 2 Magic Tower was attacked, Jin dispatched Hedo to the Empire. It was decided that it would be unreasonable for Dante to defend the empire alone until he identified the attack patterns of the enemy tribes and came up with appropriate countermeasures.
“From now on, all other ships, except for the flagship, focus on attacking Geomhwang and Hedo. We will catch any prey that escapes. The flagship should open the power source to the maximum. I will amplify the brain power myself. You’d better take care of one of them today and return.”
The bombardment that fell across the fort began to focus on the two men.
Thanks to this, the reserve knights and dragons seemed to be able to evacuate more easily, but only for a moment. As soon as Drek connected his optical heart to the power source, the firepower of the flagship ‘Barion’ increased.
The wings spread on both sides of the barion, and ferocious thunderbolts dwelled in it. Instinctively, it felt dangerous, but Dante and Hedo had never properly experienced an enemy fleet.
That’s why I didn’t stop the preliminary dragon knights who started flying. I thought that if the two of us could block the bombardment together, the best way would be to ride a dragon and fly away.
However, the red brain formed on Barion’s wings instantly engulfed the sky of Quassel Plain and caused the birds to fall.
The sky spread with Barion’s red brain is like a lava field. It had the property of annihilating all objects in the air, like the red link barrier of the Imperial Special Forces. Of course, it was incomparably powerful compared to the connection barrier used by the special lease.
“Kiaaaagh!”
“Kiik…!”
The dragons turned to ashes and fell to the ground. All of the reserve knights on board were reduced to ashes, and Dante swung his sword at the flagship, suppressing the emptiness that came over him.
However, it was not possible to close the distance due to the artillery fire that came like a shower. All ships except Barion were pressuring Dante and Hedo.
The dragon knights who were forced to evacuate had no choice but to run. The dragons were frothing vigorously as they ran, and Barion even opened fire as if that was unacceptable.
In other words, neither in the sky nor on the ground, there was no way for the dragon knights to properly escape.
“Black Emperor! At this rate, the dragon knights will soon be annihilated.”
Hedo shouted, standing next to Dante.
“Sir Hedo.”
“Therefore, you must leave the battlefield protecting the procession yourself. Go to Highlan 2 as soon as possible and call Jin through the communicator. Until then, I’ll be keeping them tied up alone.”
If it wasn’t to give up all the dragon knights, that was the best.
However, Dante thought it was natural for him to take on a more dangerous role. Remaining in the Zoroastrian Citadel now is a matter of risking one’s life.
This is the empire, the territory of Hiran, and he was the head of Hilan.
“…I’d rather stay. Sir Hedo, go!”
“No, you are strong, but you are a weakling.”
“When are you talking about it? It’s right for Sir Hedo to go.”
“Anyway, will you be stronger than me? If I’m injured, I’ll just treat them, but your death shakes the entire empire. So there is no time for this. Go ahead and call Jin! If you say no, I’ll cut you in half, starting with the enemy. Seriously.”
Hedo’s stubborn attitude eventually forced Dante to nod.
“…All right. I will not forget this favor, Sir Hedo!”
Hedo made sure that Dante was withdrawing and glared at his enemies.
“Whoa, that’s tight. Then, where should I try hard?”
