"Good heavens, he took out two in one go!"
Hidden in a tailor's shop, the town guard soldier Three-Eyed Charlie, through a crack in the window, stared in disbelief at what was happening in the sky over Cedar Town. His childhood friend, the dragon knight of the Royal Dragon Cavalry, had launched a lightning-fast attack, killing two flying dragon knights with such decisiveness and ease that it was almost unbelievable.
Is this the power of a dragon knight? It's terrifying!
In fact, he hadn't noticed the two gunshots that sounded like a single shot coming from the direction of the mill. The people of this world still knew nothing about firearms, which led to another Portland flying dragon knight being killed without any defense by the 95-style automatic assault rifle.
Even without using heavy ammunition, just standard rounds could still easily tear through the fine leather armor of the flying dragon knights at a distance of 1,000 meters.
Whether it was the NATO 5.56mm standard round or the Russian 5.45mm standard round, neither was as lethal to the human body as the 5.8mm rounds fired from the 95-style automatic rifle in the hands of the Gemini sisters. It wasn't just a 0.5mm difference in diameter.
The two surviving flying dragons, having narrowly escaped, flapped their wings with all their might and ascended to a height of several hundred meters in a few breaths. Unlike before, they now moved faster and swayed from side to side, making it difficult for Lin Mo and the Gemini sisters on the ground to launch another attack.
The well-trained flying dragons, without needing instructions from their knights, knew exactly what to do. They cautiously patrolled the area below, their mouths slightly open, with elemental energy condensed and ready to release devastating elemental bolts at any moment.
After successfully shooting down one flying dragon, Lin Mo quickly descended and clung to the outer wall of a two-story building like a gecko, then swiftly jumped to another nearby structure.
Being a dragon knight wasn't just about riding a dragon and fighting in the sky. In the "Night" special operations unit of another world, he had learned many unconventional special tactics. Now, he was like a ghost hiding among the buildings, waiting for the next opportunity to attack.
The "Dragon General" battlefield reconnaissance system, still operational, firmly locked onto the targets in the sky, replacing Lin Mo's eyes and providing him with accurate reconnaissance information.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three sharp and strange explosions came from the direction of the mill in the town.
"It's Black Wind! By the Dragon God, what's happening?"
The squad leader of the Portland Republic's "Specter" flying dragon team, Du Bo, and another air knight were shocked to see that after Zora fell into the town with unknown status, the wind dragon Black Wind, now riderless, suddenly flew toward a corner of the town, which appeared to be a mill-like building.
But what they didn't expect was that as Black Wind approached the mill, it suddenly fell to the ground with three strange explosions.
"Three short bursts, two hits!"
As the observer, Li Mubing gave her sister Li Muxin a thumbs up, a perfect kill!
Two 5.8mm heavy rounds successfully blew off the head of the flying dragon that was about to attack the mill. The brain matter, scattered by the second bullet due to the sudden increase in intracranial pressure, spewed out from the hole created by the first bullet.
The scene was brutally violent.
Even with its extremely hard skull, the flying dragon couldn't withstand the continuous penetration of two heavy rounds.
At such close range, the 5.8mm heavy rounds were enough to penetrate a 16mm thick carbon steel plate, let alone the bone made of a mixture of inorganic and organic materials.
The small flying dragon, hit precisely in a vital spot by the automatic rifle, was killed instantly. Black Wind's body lay on the ground in a strange shape, twisted like its rider, with a terrifying hole in its head oozing white brain matter and red blood.
There were enemies in the mill, and they were very dangerous.
Du Bo's heart turned cold. This Cedar Town was not as defenseless as he had imagined.
If it hadn't been a surprise attack, the 95-style automatic assault rifles in the hands of the Gemini sisters might not have achieved such results.
"We're going back!"
Realizing that he couldn't gain any advantage here, the squad leader of the Portland Republic's "Specter" flying dragon team, Du Bo, decisively ordered a retreat.
"Captain, that guy!"
Another flying dragon knight suddenly shot an arrow in a certain direction.
But just as the arrow left the string, a black shadow shot toward him at lightning speed. He let out a muffled groan as a black arrow suddenly appeared in his chest, pushing him backward. The triangular arrowhead protruded from his back, piercing through his body.
Both sides attacked almost simultaneously, but the latter was clearly faster.
"Korait!"
Du Bo's eyes turned blood red, his face twisted in rage. He quickly drew his large bow and shot a triangular heavy arrow with lightning speed.
The heavy iron arrow gained speed and range when shot downward.
"Damn Slan, I'll kill you!"
The sky over Cedar Town echoed with the Portland Republic's heart-wrenching, venomous roar.
"Captain!"
The arrowed flying dragon knight reached out to Du Bo, trying to grab something, but his eyes quickly dimmed, and he fell from his mount, following the fate of his two teammates.
"Roar..."
The flying dragon let out a mournful cry, circling the spot where its rider had fallen.
Du Bo's mount, the fire dragon Gess, suddenly opened its mouth, and a blazing red fireball shot out. It then quickly flapped its scales and ascended to avoid the counterattack.
Its prediction was correct. Just as it ascended less than three meters, a black triangular heavy arrow narrowly missed its belly, passing by just a few feet away.
The SEG core unit, based on the Syl Effect, could release a strange anti-gravity field. This special energy activated the "Flowing Wave Heavenly Splendor" magic array embedded in the "Dragon General" digital tactical armor, creating a unique repulsion field, the Force Shield.
Although the dragon knight hadn't released his light element spell shield, the repulsion field that enveloped his entire body easily deflected the incoming triangular heavy arrow.
Bang!
The incoming fireball seemed to hit an invisible object, exploding into a shower of sparks. Some of the flying embers might ignite some buildings in the town, but the damage to Cedar Town was negligible.
"Spell shield? Magic armor?"
Du Bo's heart turned cold. The fireball from Gess seemed to hit an invisible spherical shield that protected the target, causing the fireball to explode harmlessly.
How could such a powerful knight be in this border town?
The previous intelligence was severely flawed. The Portland Republic had lost so many valuable flying dragon knights, and the damn informant should be hanged.
Du Bo's teeth ground together. He had to bring this news back; otherwise, the vanguard forces would face even more losses. He patted his mount, "Gess, let's go!"
Though filled with hatred, he had no right to seek revenge.
The fire dragon, relying on its speed, quickly flew out of the effective range of the large bow and the 95-style automatic assault rifle.
Two gunshots rang out from the direction of the town, but Du Bo didn't turn back. His hands, gripping the reins, were bleeding, and his fingertips had pierced through his palms.
Korait's flying dragon didn't follow.

Boom!
A huge flying dragon fell from the sky, landing heavily on the street.
The brick-paved ground slightly caved in.
The plant nerves still controlled the muscles, causing the dragon to twitch in its final moments. It had already died before hitting the ground, escaping the agony of being crushed to death, whether by luck or misfortune.
Cedar Town remained eerily silent, like a ghost town.
After a long time, doors and windows began to open slightly.
As people grew bolder, more and more curious and shocked faces appeared from behind doors and windows.
"The Portland people fled!"
A voice filled with wild joy broke the eerie silence of Cedar Town.
Like pouring cold water into a hot oil pan, the long-suppressed town suddenly burst into life.
