"Elder, the vanguard has arrived at the human island."
"Who's leading the team?"
"Kan, he volunteered and promised to capture White."
"Rodriguez Kan Black Pupil?"
"Yes, that's him."
"He's been at level-9 for a long time, right?
If we can capture White this time, I'll give him a chance to surpass level-9. "
...
Boom!
The Sky Knights soon made their first contact with the dragons.
At first, the Sky Knights were able to maintain their formation, attacking and defending in an orderly manner.
However, when the dragons showed their sharp claws and tail thorns, the Sky Knights were instantly defeated.
These terrifying creatures were simply natural war machines.
The level-7 Leon Beasts were whipped away by their tails, and some even had their stomachs ripped open.
Fresh blood fell like raindrops, dyeing the entire harbor of Ford Island scarlet.
However, the massacre wasn't over yet. More than half of the 50 Sky Knights were killed in less than a minute after they were separated by the dragons.
Boyka held Fate Intertwined in his hand tightly. "Uncle Ribéry, tell the others to hide in the fortifications. It's time to activate the magic cannons."
"Roar!"
The dragons' breath burned the sky red, and even the sunset lost its color.
Another Leon Beast was burnt to a crisp, but the Sky Knight didn't give up.
"Go to hell, monster!"
This Sky Knight jumped up from the burning Leon Behemoth and flew towards a giant dragon with a ferocious look on his face with a long spear in his hand.
"Rose Never Fall!"
Puchi!
Almost at the same time, the dragons whipped out their tail thorns.
The spear still pierced through the dragon's scales, and the Sky Knight was cut in half by the tail thorns. His organs flew in the sky.
Even so, the death of this Sky Knight ignited the fighting spirit of the other Sky Knights.
"Rose Never Fall!"
"For Rose!"
They were warriors of the Rose Family and had long decided to dedicate their lives to the Rose Family. Therefore, to them, dying in battle was just... keeping their promise.
The crazy Sky Knights launched their final counterattack. Even though they knew they were going to die, they still charged toward the dragons without hesitation.
...
A blood-red rose bloomed in the sky. The tourists who were busy escaping couldn't help but stop and look back. They then paid the warriors their highest respect.
Boyka's eyes were red. It was hard to tell whether it was from grief or anger.
The last Sky Knight jumped onto the dragon's back and let out a roar. At the same time, he forcefully stabbed his spear into the dragon's back.
"Kill!"
Clang!
Unfortunately, this Sky Knight's injuries were too severe, and the dragon's shell was too hard, so in the end, the spear only bounced off his hand and fell into the endless sea of stars.
What greeted this Sky Knight was nothing more than a giant dragon's breath.
"Roar!"
At this point, all of the Bloody Rose Sky Knights had died.
"Foolish and weak creatures."
Boyka didn't understand the dragon's language, but the arrogance and disdain in the dragon's tone were obvious.
Boyka did not waste time talking to these dragons. He snapped his fingers expressionlessly.
Bang!
Suddenly, a bright rose bloomed in the sky, as if someone was setting off fireworks.
The dragons gathered together to watch the fireworks curiously. It had to be said that the resistance of these humans brought them some entertainment.
"Fire … the cannon!"
At Boyka's command, the mountains on both sides of Ford Island's harbor suddenly split open, and pitch-black cannons drilled out.
"Magic cannons, ready. Fire!"
The dragons were still enjoying the comical performance of the humans when they suddenly felt an extremely dense magic attack.
Boom!
Three magic cannons fired at the same time, causing the entire Ford Island to shake. Three dazzling streaks of light streaked across the sky.
One shot of the cannon was worth ten thousand taels of gold.
Magic cannons required large amounts of magic cores to activate. None of the three shots were below grade-8, and some were even close to grade-9.
That was why this cannon was the financial burden of a small city.
The dazzling light filled the sky, and the people could faintly hear the dragons' pained cries.
Just as Ribéry was about to rejoice, Boyka poured cold water on him.
"War God Neville once said that dragon scale armor has very high magic resistance. The royal family still has a set of armor made from dragon scales."
Just as Boyka had said, the magic cannons were powerful, but the dragons' magic resistance was shocking.
After the light faded, most of the dragons only suffered some light burns. Their leader, Kann, was completely unharmed.
However, the three shots from the magic cannons infuriated Kann.
"Feel the wrath of the dragons!"
"Roar!"
Kann led the charge, and the dragons covered the sky. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at Ford Island's harbor.
"Young Master Boyka, let's run," Ribéry said in a trembling voice.
Boyka glanced at the Bloody Rose Army that was ready to go. He gritted his teeth and said, "You two, take Uncle Ribéry to a safe place."
Ribéry was stunned. "What about you, Young Master Boyka?"
"I will fight with the Bloody Rose Army."
Rose Duchess had said that Boyka's biggest weakness was that he was too impulsive. Who knew when he would learn to be flexible?
But Boyka didn't care. Even if they ran, where could they run to?
"Bloody Rose Army, heed my command. I've already requested reinforcements from the family. Everyone, follow me and defend Ford Island!"
"Defend Ford Island!"
"Roses Never Fall!"
The dragons' destructive power was astonishing. Even the fortified houses of the Rose Family magisters could hardly survive their claws for more than three seconds.
In less than a minute, the port of Ford Island was in a mess. Many of the houses were not even in ruins. They had been crushed into scraps.
Intertwining Fate!
Boom!
Magic bullets shot out from the white and black muzzles. Each bullet was no less than grade-7. Boyka's strength had improved greatly over the years.
Dragon Sweep!
Kann's ten-meter-long tail swept across Ford Island's harbor. Countless houses collapsed and dust flew everywhere.
Clang!
Seven Bloody Rose warriors raised their shields to block Kann's sweep. All of them retreated several meters before they could block Kann's attack.
Psst!
Two streams of white steam came out of Kann's nostrils. He then retracted his tail.
"Weak creatures. How pitiful."
Dragon Sweep!
Boyka's vision blurred. By the time he reacted, the seven Bloody Rose Army soldiers had all flown into the sky.
Dragon Breath!
Boom!
The scorching aura behind him made Boyka tremble. Kann's breath devoured the Bloody Rose Army in the blink of an eye.
It was effortless.
"You should know how weak you are."
Kann slowly walked toward Boyka, step by step.
Boyka felt the pressure from Kann and raised his head with difficulty.
"If dragons … only have this much power, conquering the world is just a pipe dream!"
"Die, worm!"
Kann raised his leg and stomped down on Boyka, who had his head held high.
"Dragon Sweep!"
Before Boyka closed his eyes, he heard a familiar voice and saw a figure ramming into Kan's body.
Boom!
