The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 1110 - 1107: Magic Combat Group

“But… Uncle, this time His Majesty is facing a group of Dragon Knights, the momentum of the Tri-Nation Alliance’s Dragon Knights is unimaginable.”

Dimaria smiled warmly and said, “Do you know how His Majesty described his strength and the strength of the Tri-Nation Alliance during the Outer Cabinet meeting?”

“How did he describe it?”

“His Majesty said, he is a boulder, and a single Dragon Knight from the Tri-Nation Alliance is but a grain of sand, no matter how much sand gathers, it remains disperse sand, only the boulder is indestructible.” As Dimaria repeated these words, he instantly visualized the tone Liszt used while speaking.

It was a transcendent calm, as if all beings were mere ants, insignificant and naturally so.

Deborah was stunned for a moment, then repeated, “A boulder and loose sand.”

…

“Lord Lerald, the defense Magic Array of Mind Island will be overseen by you.”

“Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Lord Acherloides’ improved Defense Magic Array is very stable against Dragon Knight attacks, I will defend the Mind Island Magic Gate for the Kingdom.”

Inside the Fortress of the Mind, Liszt and Archmage-Leard Truth conversed.

The former Magician of the Kushan Imperial, had now completely integrated into the Flame Kingdom, and had even taken a lover to conceive an illegitimate child.

Transforming from a Magician to an Arcanist was the first step of magical reform; next is the reform of the Magician’s inheritance mode, no longer secretive but integrated into the knight system, adopting academy-based education. All Arcanists are similarly encouraged to marry, even to start Arcane families.

Now, the Arcanists have truly become the scientist archetype in Liszt’s eyes.

After Lerald left, Dean Chris Truth of the Royal Arcane Academy entered the study: “Your Majesty, Kenley is resolute in her attitude; she wishes not to involve herself in war matters, voluntarily avoiding controversy, she’s transferred to the Overmarine Laboratory on Anchor Island to research purifying the Devil.”

Kenley Truth, the Deputy Dean of the Royal Arcane Academy, hails from the Magic Elephant Family of Steel Ridge Kingdom and came to Flame Kingdom to follow the path of Truth as personified by Acherloides. She has been engrossed in magic research for years, never returning home, and only corresponding with her family through letters.

However, her background has always been a barrier since Steel Ridge Kingdom and Flame Kingdom are enemy states.

Li Si Te nodded and said, “Please tell Kenley that I haven’t lost trust in her. Since she has no interest in battles, she should continue her research in the Overmarine Laboratory with peace of mind. Once I unify the northeastern corner of the Legendary Continent, I will ensure the Magic Elephant Family is treated well and she won’t have difficulties.”

He recognized Kenley’s character. In fact, even if she were a spy, it wouldn’t matter as the overpowering strength of his forces would render the Tri-Nation Alliance as insignificant as chickens and dogs made of clay.

“As you wish, Your Majesty.”

“How are the preparations for the Magician’s combat unit?”

“With a large influx of Ancient Magicians from the Moon Slayer, the magical combat unit has been fully equipped with ten magic pools. They only need to cast missile-type spells, so coordinating them is straightforward to train. In formal combat, they should match your Black Horse Knights.”

Missile-type magic is just the basic and slightly more advanced common magic that solely involves the condensation and release of magic power.

Examples include Water Arrow Spell, Water Arrow Barrage, Flying Rock Technique, Wind Blade Spell, and Multiple Wind Blades.

Missile-type magic is suitable for large-scale warfare. It draws stored magic power from the magic pools, forming missiles that are then hurled into the fray—boom—a huge blast area is created. This is the age of a withering magic web, a new direction for magical combat where knights no longer disrupt magicians from casting their spells.

Chris rated the magical combat unit’s strength as comparable to the Black Horse Knights, which are the lowest tier of the Burning Legion.

Thus, overall, the magical combat unit isn’t strong enough yet.

But they are much stronger than the knight orders from feudal nobles, and the ability to cast from a distance offers a significant complement to the Burning Legion’s charging knights.

“Very well, let the war test the mettle of the magical combat unit. If the results are good, the Royal Arcane Academy can promote it.”

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Chris said, then stood up to take her leave.

Li Si Te leaned back in his chair, gazing at the turquoise sea and blue sky outside the window, occasionally spotting knights riding magical beasts flying across the distant sky.

The entire Mind Island has become a war fortress, soon to unfold a grand epic war in step with his actions.

“First, I’ll break the spine of Eagle Kingdom, then after gradually weakening them, I’ll swallow Steel Ridge and Blast Furnace Fortress. Should one year be enough?” He optimistically estimated, believing that with the might of the Half-Step Barrier Knights, no deceit was necessary—only honorable battle was required.

Closing his eyes, he could sense the Formless Bard soaring above Eagle Kingdom.

Bard was tasked with locating natural nodes. Once all natural nodes in Eagle Kingdom were identified, he could swiftly transport himself and Fire Dragon Leo to intercept any Dragon Knight. This battle to slay dragons would not just kill one or two Dragon Knights.

A large number of dragons and Dragon Knights were fated to fall.

The Power of Destiny surrounded him, and Li Si Te even felt the Smoke Dragon Egg in his mind start to stir: “As long as I keep pushing destiny forward, the Smoke Dragon will gain more ‘magic power’ and be reborn… Once the Smoke Dragon is reborn, can I twist fate at will?”

The birth of the Smoke Dragon would rely on his will; in essence, the new Smoke Dragon’s nature would be supplanted by Li Si Te’s personality.

It would be his alter ego.

“I am the Smoke Dragon, and the Power of Destiny is my power!”
