In Baiyi's eyes, dragons were similar to humans in one way. There was a huge gap between their strengths and weaknesses. The strong ones were like the Third Walker, who could control lightning and thunder, while the weak ones could not even defeat a sheep. Of course, this was referring to the sheep of the Alpine Barbarians, not to mention the land dragons and other hybrids.
Therefore, to the Voidwalkers, slaying a dragon was not considered an achievement. They all had at least a few dragon lives in their hands, and they could only brag about it if they could slay a dragon as powerful as the Third Walker.
However, the thing that dared to charge into a dragon knight's territory was obviously not that smart. The dragon's brain was not as strong as a normal beast's, and it was impossible for it to control mana. It was only because of the dragon's strong physique that it flaunted its power. Otherwise, it would not have chosen a skyscraper ray as its prey. The skyscraper ray was not as tasty as the skates that lived in the sea.
Still, no matter how much they slandered it, it was still a dragon. Fear of it was deeply ingrained in the ray's DNA. If it was not for its long training that taught it not to abandon the humans on its back, it would have emptied its stomach and plunged into the sea. That was the only way for the skyscraper ray to escape.
As the black dot approached, the well-trained skyscraper ray tried its best to save the humans on its back, even though it was trembling like an electric baton.
"Why's Sharkie shaking so badly?" Mia asked, her voice trembling as she lay on the Skyray's back.
"I think it's because of that …" Laeticia pointed at the black dot that was rapidly approaching them. More accurately, it was a shadow. The distance between them was enough for them to see its silhouette clearly. It was indeed a dragon.
"What is that? Ouch … Ugh, it hurts … "She was about to ask, but the tremors under her feet made her bite her tongue. The pain was so intense that tears almost flowed out of her eyes.
Tisdale was the smartest. She hugged Baiyi's arm tightly as if she was afraid. She asked in a sweet voice, "Sir … Is that a dragon? Will it hurt us? "
'Since you already know that you're staying by my side, why would you ask such a question? Would your teacher not be able to deal with a small lizard? Why do I feel like she's just trying to act coquettish? Baiyi thought to himself. Still, he patted Tisdale's back gently to comfort her.
Baiyi looked at the girls' faces and noticed that they were starting to blush unnaturally. Reluctantly, he stretched out a finger and began to mobilize the mana in his body.
However, right at this moment, two figures suddenly appeared even higher up in the sky, piercing through the clouds like sharp arrows to stand in front of the dragon. Upon seeing this, the Skycruising Ray beneath their feet immediately stopped trembling and let loose a cry of joy, as if it had just survived a calamity.
The Dragon Knights made their move.
The two dragons that appeared later flew up and down nimbly around the dragon that had barged into the safe zone. After a while, the dragon that had barged in was bound by something and dragged away like a pig …
There wasn't even a battle, and it was settled just like that? Baiyi, on the other hand, was rather impressed by the dragon knights' methods. The other girls, on the other hand, were dumbfounded. They did not even know what had happened, and the crisis had already been averted?
Baiyi called the girls to his side, formed a small circle, and began to tell them the story of the Dragon Knights.
The so-called Dragon Knights were usually referred to as the Flame Dragon Knights. Although the name was a common one, it did not stop them from being the oldest and most powerful dragon knights in the realm. In fact, every independent kingdom in Gouve had its own dragon knights. However, when people talked about dragon knights, the first thing that came to mind was the Flame Dragon Knights, which belonged to the Rothea Kingdom.
The dragon knights did not have many members, and a few thousand of them were already considered very powerful. Compared to the Gryphon Knights, the Dragonhawk Knights, the Bat Knights, the Chaos Knights, and the Omnipotent Knights, the dragon knights required a long period of training before they could become powerful. The requirements were extremely strict on both the human and the dragon, and it was definitely not something that a Taoist priest from the Quanzhen Sect could handle.
Every dragon knight that was fully formed was a powerful force, and when they were organized into an army, they would be a terrifying force that could destroy the heavens and the earth.
The other realms had never dared to invade Gouve, largely because they were wary of the Dragon Knights' might.
According to the Thane, the Voidwalker, the Dragon Knights of Gouve and the Divine Warriors of the Alpine Mountains were the two most powerful armies he had ever seen. They stood at the pinnacle of all human armies. As for the all-powerful Rohserlian Sorcerers, Mara Sorcerers, and the Blacksmiths' Army of Golems, the Voidwalkers, and the Blacksmiths' Army, the Thane had downgraded them because of the quality of their commanders.
"Back then, my Black Justice Squad was considered the best of the best, but compared to these top-notch legions, they were still lacking something. That's why I've always thought, 'If one day, we can gather these legendary legions under our own banner, then we won't have to worry about our hegemony anymore," The Thane had once said to Baiyi.
'Tsk tsk, your Blasphemy Army … Even though they're well-trained and well-equipped, their individual combat power is still too far away from these guys, isn't it?' At that time, Baiyi had taken the Thane's words as a joke.
After briefly explaining the situation of the Dragon Riders to the girls, a look of yearning appeared on their faces. It seemed that they really wanted to see this valiant army. Laeticia was the only one who asked, "How do the Dragon Knights compare to the Church's Paladins? I thought they were the most powerful people in the world … "
The most powerful person is sitting right in front of you, my dear Miss Laeticia, 'Baiyi thought to himself. He looked at Laeticia's longing face and could not help but say, "The Paladins might be strong individually, but they're lacking a dragon to help them …" Baiyi sighed.
Honestly, the Church's Paladins, also known as the Celestial Praetorian Guard, were not even worthy of the Thane's attention. Their armor, on the other hand, was probably the coolest. They were very popular with girls.
"I see … Then, wouldn't it be even better if they could ride on dragons?" Laeticia asked innocently.
'Do you think dragons are like rainbow ponies? You can ride them just because you want to? ' Baiyi was speechless for a moment, but he played along with the girl's interest and said, "If there's a chance, I'll take you to the Dragon Knights."
After that little interlude, the skycruising ray continued its leisurely flight. At first, the girls were chatting and admiring the beautiful scenery around them, but after a while, they grew tired and fell asleep on the back of the ray.
Baiyi, on the other hand, pulled the four girls to his side. Looking at their peaceful sleeping faces, his heart seemed to have calmed down.
It was afternoon when the skycruising ray finally reached its destination. It was a huge floating island near the sea, where the capital of the Kingdom of Rotetia was located.
As soon as the ray stopped, the girls woke up. It was not because Baiyi had woken them up, but because of the heat. The floating island was close to the sea, so the temperature was much higher than it was on land. It was even hotter than summer, and the girls were wearing thick winter coats. They did not even have the time to lament the fact that they had traveled through four seasons. They quickly went into the changing room that the skycruising ray company had prepared for them. A moment later, they had changed into beautiful short skirts and appeared in front of Baiyi.
"Ugh … You'd have to prepare a few sets of clothes to get here." Mia stuck out her tongue and pushed her long black hair behind her head. She even fanned herself with her little hands, fearing that it was too hot.
"That's why I said living in this realm is tough," Baiyi said as he led the girls out of the skycruising ray company and strolled along the streets of the Kingdom.
The floating island was huge, and the area occupied by the capital city was no smaller than the largest cities in Isythre. Walking around the city, one would not even feel like they were on an island. The architecture was similar to that of Isythre, and it made one feel like they had returned to the real world.
However, the city looked young, and the buildings looked newer than Arfin City. Baiyi explained in a low voice, "This place was built later. The original capital city was not on this island."
"Huh? The altitude is lower, and the temperature is warmer. Why was the capital city built later? "Tisdale asked curiously.
"It's exactly because the altitude is lower that it's not safe," Baiyi said in a low voice. As if to prove his point, a magical fluctuation suddenly appeared in the sky above the city. Even Attie and Laeticia, who did not know how to use magic, looked up at the sky.
Then, they saw water. To be precise, they saw waves. Waves that covered the sky were like monstrous waves that covered the entire sky, sweeping towards the city. It was a sunny afternoon, but now it was completely dark.
The earth-shattering scene made them want to scream out loud, but Baiyi simply put his arm around their shoulders, looking calm and collected.
The tidal wave slammed into an invisible barrier, and a dull thud could be heard. It sounded like the heartbeat of a giant beast, and seawater splashed everywhere, covering the entire sky above the city, making it look like they were at the bottom of the ocean.
Soon, the tidal wave subsided, and the sun shone again. The city returned to its usual tranquility.
Mia, who had not recovered from her earlier shock, stupidly shook Baiyi's arm and pointed at the sky.
