"This place is like this?" Attie could not help but sigh. "It feels like home."
The tour guide whistled, and a moment later, a subspecies of land dragon, which looked like a giant lizard, crawled in front of the group. The land dragon, which was dozens of meters long, crouched meekly at the tour guide's feet. On its broad, flat back, there were several seats fixed to it.
The group sat on the land dragon, which was like a sightseeing bus, leisurely drove into the depths of the grassland.
"This place … isn't cold at all?" Mia asked curiously. She was wearing a short dress today. Her two cute little legs swayed gently on the chair as the Drake moved. Although the floating island was very high up, she did not feel cold at all.
"Haha! That's because we chose a good place." The tour guide began to explain the natural environment of the island to the girls, as if he was showing them a treasure. He told them about the best location, such as an underground volcano, and the surrounding floating islands that provided shelter from the wind. It made the island feel like it was on land.
Baiyi listened in silence, but he did not expose the tour guide's lies. In fact, when he was still on the griffin's back, he had already noticed that this floating island, as well as the dozens of floating islands around it, was covered by some kind of barrier. The warm and pleasant weather was probably due to this barrier, not some volcano.
Attie, who was once a king, was not interested in the grassland scenery. She suddenly asked, "This place looks very spacious, but can it really hold thousands of dragons?"
The tour guide smiled awkwardly and explained, "My beautiful lady, the number of dragons in the dragon knights is not what the rumors say. We have thousands of knights, but we don't have that many dragons. Also, most of the dragons don't live here. They live on the surrounding floating islands."
He did not give a precise figure, but Baiyi had a rough idea. If there were three thousand dragon knights, then there would only be about a hundred true dragons who could fly. The rest of the dragon knights would be lesser dragons such as drakes, or ordinary soldiers and logisticians who would fight alongside the dragon knights.
Actually, when a Dragon Knight went out to battle, he definitely wouldn't just charge out on his own. Dragons were so big and heavy, so they naturally had to be put to good use. So when a Dragon Knight went out to battle, they would usually bring a small combat team of three to five people with them. These ordinary soldiers would either assist the Dragon Knight in aerial combat or carry out airborne missions and so on.
To put it simply, every dragon that could fly was not a single mount, but a battle platform in the air.
In short, the girls had a general understanding of this. They had heard of centurions and chiliarchs in the dragon knights, so they thought that those people would lead a thousand dragons into battle.
The group walked toward the mountain at the end of the grassland, but they did not see any dragons. They did not even see many small animals, which disappointed the girls.
"They don't seem to have many dragons left," the Explorer suddenly said in the Void. The Explorer suddenly said in the void, "Remember the plane expansion I mentioned before? The Dragon Knights once suffered heavy losses. When I came here at that time, I could still see the Dragon Knights training in the sky. "
Baiyi remembered the story he had once told him. It was about how the dragon knights had encountered the King of the Land, the Spirit Behemoth, when they were exploring a new realm. The two sides clashed head-on, and it was said that hundreds of dragon knights were killed. It was no different from being wiped out. It was not easy for the dragon knights to survive such a loss.
After walking for a while, when they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, they finally saw a large military camp at the foot of the mountain. It was probably the place where the knights were stationed and trained.
When the land dragons approached the entrance of the camp, the tour guide greeted the soldiers guarding the gate. "We have guests."
"Wow! You're so lucky! You've met a tourist again! "The guard said enviously.
"Wow! What beautiful girls … "Another guard noticed the girls on the dragon's back and exclaimed in admiration," Their beauty is not inferior to Miss at all … "
"Alright, alright. Don't scare the guests." The tour guide took out a gold coin from the pouch that Baiyi had given her and stuffed it into the hand of one of the guards. "Drink, please." With that, the tour guide led Baiyi and the others into the camp.
"This defense is a little too weak, isn't it?" The Thane expressed his dissatisfaction in the Void. "It's easy for spies to sneak in like this."
"Don't underestimate them," Baiyi said. "If they dare to let people in so openly, then they wouldn't be afraid of spies sneaking in. There's a reason why the Flame Dragon Knights could survive for thousands of years."
"You have a point," the Thane muttered under his breath and fell silent.
Of course, Baiyi thought that this was just a show of security on the outside. After a brief observation, he realized that the place the tour guide led them to was not worth paying attention to. A few students were training on the field, and a few land dragons were circling around a wooden pole. None of these were important. On the contrary, inside the camp, which was close to the mountain range, there were several squads of soldiers patrolling back and forth. It was obvious that the place was off-limits.
Basically, this place was just a place for people to see the surface. The core of the place was nowhere to be seen. The few girls had been wandering around the military camp for a while now. Other than receiving waves of frivolous whistles, they did not see a single dragon …
The tour guide was about to lead them to the museum, which recorded the glorious history of the Flame Dragon Knights. Baiyi had to remind him, "Um... we want to see something more practical."
"Dragons, huh? Okay, okay, okay. I got it. "The tour guide changed their itinerary and led them to a sentry tower. This tower was taller than the typical sentry tower, and it had a wide field of view. From afar, they could see a mountain peak surrounded by clouds, and they could vaguely see something flapping its gigantic wings.
"This is our best observation tower," the tour guide said proudly. The tour guide explained proudly. As he spoke, he pointed at the mountain peak in the distance. "That's the Dragon Cliff. Some wild giant dragons who have a certain fondness for humans live there. Our knights will also choose from there to accompany them for life after passing the test …"
"Do dragons have fondness for humans?" Mia asked curiously. "I read in the books that they prefer to eat humans as food …"
