The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 706 - 0703: Old Rival (First Update)

Chapter 706: Chapter 0703: Old Rival (First Update)

As the ship set sail from Bull Hoof Island Port, Liszt understood that war had become inevitable.

Moreover, naval battles are brutal. For knights, the cramped space on the ships hardly allows for charging. All they can do is exchange blows from a distance or leap about in boarding combat.

Liszt, accompanied by Ach riding Tulip Family’s flagship, the “Tulip,” chose not to engage in the fight but to watch as the battle spread over the sea. Once he had decided in his heart to reap the spoils of the fisherman’s benefit, war became like a movie to him, where all he had to do was buy a good ticket and find his seat.

“We have an advantage in naval battles. The Sapphire Knights have had no shortage of skirmishes with pirates, and their experience in water combat is something the knights of the Eagle Kingdom, trained in haste, simply cannot match… After all, they haven’t been through the baptism of the sea and don’t know how to manipulate the surges,”

Li Weiliam stood at the bow, holding a telescope and surveying the entire seascape of battle.

The Dragon Knights had not yet appeared on the battlefield, so at the moment it was just a naval battle between ordinary knights. The Sapphire’s Knight Order and fleet were still arriving in succession, and the current number of ships was not large; the Eagle Kingdom, however, had mobilized en masse, with countless sailboats covering the entire sea.

However, their ships were noticeably slow and stiff in maneuvering, especially in front of the Sapphire’s numerous fast sailboats, which made them appear clumsy.

Two fast sailboats, working in tandem, approached from left and right. In an instant, a large group of knights leaped from their respective decks and commenced a boarding battle.

Two against one, they easily annihilated a sailboat from the Eagle Kingdom, then the Sapphire fast sailboats quickly moved away and charged towards the next Eagle Kingdom sailboat.

The fleets of the two kingdoms had only just encountered each other for a short time, and already dozens of sailboats had been wiped out, seventy percent of which belonged to the Eagle Kingdom.

The huge disparity in naval battle strength was not only evident in the ships but also in the knights. The rocking decks had no effect on the Sapphire Knights but were extremely challenging for the knights of the Eagle Kingdom. With their combat skills deformed and their bodies unstable, their combat power was directly weakened by thirty to forty percent; how could they compete with the agile Sapphire Knights?

Therefore,

Even though the Sapphire’s ships were fewer in number, they far exceeded the Eagle Kingdom in combat effectiveness.

All of this was seen clearly by Liszt through his telescope: “The demeanor of the Eagle Kingdom is magnificent, but their naval battle strength does not match up with their spirit. At this rate, they probably won’t make it to shore before meeting their end in this sea area. But it probably won’t be that simple, the Eagle Kingdom wouldn’t invade so rashly.”

“It’s the Magicians,” Ach, also holding a telescope, suddenly said.

“Hmm?”

Li Weiliam and Liszt both exclaimed in surprise.

Ach put down the telescope and pointed towards the sea ahead: “I feel Magic Power converging; there are many Magicians hidden on the Eagle Kingdom’s ships.”

No further hints were needed from Ach.

The second wave of boarding combat unfolded quickly, and it was then that everyone realized the invaders from the Eagle Kingdom included not only knights but also a large number of magicians.

In an instant, countless spells erupted over the sea surface, with huge water pillars shooting up, meteorites shooting from the sky, numerous ice lances weaving back and forth, lightning cleaving through the sea waves, and a mass of dark mist devouring everything in sight… Water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, ice, and darkness, eight types of magic spells were released in a chaotic mix.

The Sapphire’s lead fast sailboats were quickly overwhelmed by the magic.

However, on the Sapphire’s fast sailboats, there were also a group of magicians. While the ships maneuvered to avoid magic attacks, these magicians counterattacked the opposing side—especially the ships of the Blue Blood Alliance, where nearly every fast sailboat had a few magicians casting spells in retaliation.

“I thought that starting with the Magic Goat Family, the Sapphire Family no longer put much effort into nurturing magicians, especially after the Goat Assembly and the Marquis of Bull’s dragon-slaying incident,” Liszt said, somewhat puzzled.

“Magicians are indeed declining, but no matter what, our combat and daily life can’t do without magicians. The Grand Duke wouldn’t hold a bias against magicians because of one or two magic incidents…” As Li Weiliam spoke, he turned to Ach and instructed, “Our fleet also needs to enter the combat zone. Ach, protect the fleet well.”

He issued the order as an elder.

However, Ach did not answer him, simply looking toward Liszt. Only when Liszt nodded did she reply, “Ach will protect the fleet well.” As a Sea Monster Magician, perhaps due to her race or maybe because of Liszt’s teachings, she had little enthusiasm for humans.

Even though the man was Liszt’s father, she only treated him with indifference.

This brought a touch of faint sorrow to Li Weiliam’s heart, but he quickly coughed to conceal it, “Please continue to watch the battle. As a follower of the Grand Duke, I will personally join in this maritime warfare! It is the duty of a follower, and I will not choose to flee.”

Having said this,

he left the bow with long strides, ready to command the family fleet to fight.

His heart was not flustered in the least, fully displaying the noble qualities of a Knight and establishing the towering image of a father, Landlord, and elder. After all, with a Dragon Knight and an Archmage standing behind him, what was there to fear!

Magic ascended.

Dou Qi surged forth.

The sea battle quickly escalated to a fervent pitch, with innumerable ships sinking to the ocean’s surface.

Liszt’s own Knight Order and fleet had not yet arrived at Iron Hoof Island; half of the Coral Island Knight Order had not reached either. According to normal message relay and support, it took seven days to travel to and from Coral Island, and only three days had passed, so he was only following half of the family fleet stationed at Bull Tail Domain.

There was no need for his own Knights to wear themselves out in the naval battle.

Even he himself had not made a move.

However, the Marquis of Bull Tail showed valiant bravery, repeatedly soaring and capturing ships, defeating several sailboats with his own power. Whenever there was peril, there would always be a fiery arrow to free him from tight spots, or a Water Tornado to block deadly moves for him. This made him even more reckless, killing joyously in all directions.

Now, with the ships on the sea incessantly releasing surging Dou Qi, the ambient Magic Power around the battlefield had become unstable, and Magic began to decay, turning into Sky Knights soaring through the air.

These flying Sky Knights were undoubtedly the main force in the boarding combat.

“The Marquis’s Dou Qi is nearing completion. I didn’t expect that just a few days after I gave him the Sky Manual, he would be on the verge of perfecting his Advanced Dou Qi,” Liszt, employing the Eye of Magic, was tracking Li Weiliam’s movements and could naturally see the gradual solidification of his Dou Qi’s radiance.

This was a sign of Complete Advanced Level Dou Qi.

“But it’s also normal, the Marquis has been famous for his sword for more than a decade; his Dou Qi should have reached a certain point long ago. With the aid of the Sky Manual, breaking through the final barrier is just a matter of course.”

He was observing Li Weiliam’s combat,

when Ach spoke up to remind him, “Brother, there’s a Sky Knight over there who looks very powerful; he can hover in mid-air. Is he what Brother described as a Domain Knight?”

“Hmm?”

Taking up a Telescope, Liszt looked in the direction Ach pointed and saw a familiar figure of a Knight charging toward a Sapphire sailboat. His way of flying was radically different from that of a typical Sky Knight—the usual Sky Knight appeared more like jumping, diving, and gliding, but he was truly flying.

The sort of flying synonymous with Sun Wukong riding on his Somersault Cloud.

The Eye of Magic could see a cloud of Dou Qi beneath his feet.

“Hm!”

Liszt suddenly laughed, “If it isn’t my old rival Marquis Nuta! I didn’t expect him to be one of the invaders. How I have missed him these many days!”
