Chapter 35

Under the cover of their own mages, the Portland dragon riders once again broke into Cedar Town.

Sensing a malevolent wind from behind, Li Muxin, without turning her head, pushed her sister into the well without hesitation. As she rolled to the ground, she reached for the combat pistol at her waist.

"Ah!~"

Just as the shadow was about to completely envelop the well, a human scream echoed from above.

As Li Muxin threw herself to the ground, she saw a thick, scaly dragon claw narrowly miss her by a hair's breadth. The damp, black strands of her hair lightly brushed the tip of the claw, leaving a clear, wet mark.

She had no doubt that if she had hesitated for a moment, that claw would have easily caught or torn her head off.

The scream from the back of the flying dragon made Li Muxin pause in her attempt to pull the trigger of her combat pistol. As she rolled halfway, she managed to draw her gun, release the safety, and chamber a round.

At such close range, the dragon that had ambushed the sisters would surely be in trouble.

The Portland dragon suddenly flapped its wings to leave, but it was caught off guard by a black figure that sprang up from the ground, leaping onto the dragon's back as if propelled by a spring.

Boom!~

The dragon rider, pierced through the chest by a heavy, three-edged armor-piercing arrow, was violently knocked off the dragon's back. The dragon, however, was now under new control!

"Major Lin Mo!"

Li Muxin's eyes widened as she saw the figure in the sky wearing the "Dragon General" digital tactical armor, the external enhanced armor gleaming with the characteristic blue light of a magnetic plasma engine.

He had not only successfully killed the Portland dragon rider but also taken control of the dragon.

The dragon rider squad leader, Du Bo, crashed heavily onto the still scorching ground, convulsing and spitting out large amounts of blood, clearly on the verge of death.

Unfortunately, he failed to avenge his teammates and instead lost his own life.

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The fire dragon, Gus, had never imagined that an enemy would ever ride on its back. It went wild, constantly rolling and flipping in the sky, trying to shake off the hateful rider.

Instinct told it that the rider emitted a terrifying aura, gradually overwhelming it. It seemed to be the aura of a higher-tier dragon, filled with brutality and slaughter. It was hard to imagine what kind of terrifying dragon it could be.

"Be good, be good, listen, listen! You can't shake me off like this, hehe, compared to gold, you're still far behind!"

Lin Mo tightly held the reins, which were not for forcibly restraining the dragon but for guiding its flight direction. If he pulled hard, he could force it to turn.

As he said, the dragon's resistance was futile. Compared to the once rebellious golden dragon, this little one was much weaker, and the dragon rider easily handled its struggles and resistance.

"Attack!"

The first battalion of the Portland Republic's "Red-Eyed Lion" vanguard regiment, under the command of the second battalion's centurion, immediately replaced the fallen Qin Lanfu and launched an assault on the stone wall that had just been bombed by the fourth-level human fire element spell "Falling Star Fire."

"Kill!"

"Kill all the Silanese!"

Rough wooden ladders were mixed in with the troops. The scale of this attack was more than double the previous probing efforts, a true strong attack.

The section of the stone wall still burning with flames was impossible to stand on, creating a defensive vacuum. As long as they sprinted full speed, the Portland soldiers, who had been temporarily doused with water, could cross the high-temperature area and enter the town before the magic's aftereffects dried their bodies.

The servant soldiers in the charge poured buckets of water onto the scorching stone wall, creating thick white steam that not only quickly cooled and dissipated the heat but also created a large area of steam that obscured vision.

The timing of the Portland attack was excellent. Whether it was the first battalion's centurion who had just died or the second battalion's centurion who took over, neither was a brute who only knew how to fight recklessly.

For this long-prepared invasion, the Portland Republic had mobilized its elite forces, aiming to severely damage the Silan Empire, which was still entangled with the Tesei Empire, and tear a large piece off the map.

The dragon in the sky continued to emit mournful cries and struggle with all its might, but its back was now controlled by the most experienced dragon rider in this situation. Lin Mo remained firmly fixed on the dragon's back.

The fire dragon climbed to over a thousand meters, then turned and dived, pulling up again at a height of just over ten meters, rolling and flipping like a roller coaster. It even tried to turn its head to bite, its mouth filled with dense fire element energy, ready to release its innate spell "Blazing Bullet."

However, it was met with a dragon rider's spear, infused with light battle qi, striking its head, causing it to cry out in pain. The "Blazing Bullet" could not form and dissipated in its mouth. It even forgot the last resort of crashing to the ground to take the enemy with it.

In fact, even if it had done so, it would have been a futile wish.

The "Dragon General" with the SEG core unit was a small personal flight device, allowing the wearer to have sufficient aerial maneuverability to land safely.

"Gus! Gus!"

Another dragon rider pursued the captain's mount, bow drawn and ready to fire.

Who would have thought that in less than a day, the "Red-Eyed Lion" vanguard regiment's "Phantom Spirit" dragon squad would be reduced to just one person? Even Squad Leader Du Bo could not escape, being shot down and killed, and his dragon taken.

The frightened fire dragon's erratic flight in the sky caught the attention of the Portland soldiers on the ground. They soon realized that the dragon had a new rider, and it was a Silanese rider.

"Damn it, the Silanese have actually taken our dragon. Do they want to pretend to be air knights? Archers, shoot him down!"

The second battalion's centurion pointed to the sky and issued new orders.

To kill the hateful Silanese knight, he was even willing to sacrifice his own dragon.

Dozens of archers on the ground drew their bows, the sharp arrowheads pointing skyward as the bowstrings and bows creaked under the strain.

Whoosh!~

A dark streak narrowly missed Lin Mo, shot by the nearby Portland dragon rider.

The dragon rider seemed oblivious, continuing to tame the disobedient fire dragon.

"Listen to me, Bao'er!"

The resilient dragon rider's spear had already knocked the new mount senseless, and it was now being guided by the reins. Lin Mo knew his opportunity had come.

Shifting his weight and pulling the reins, just like a true dragon rider, the fire dragon Gus began to change direction, seemingly unaware of what was happening.

"Damn it, Gus, no, no, get out of the way, Larren!"

The dragon rider, still drawing his bow, did not expect the captain's mount to suddenly charge at him. He only had time to shout and fire a weak arrow. A sharp dragon rider's spear, following the charging fire dragon, pierced his body.

The standard air knight combat technique "Larren Lightning Side Charge," originally a formation technique, was executed by Lin Mo alone.

The Portland air knight could not have imagined that the Silanese who had killed his squad leader and taken the dragon was a fellow air knight, and even a higher-tier true dragon rider.

Under normal circumstances, he might have avoided it, but his overconfidence cost him his life.

"Ah...!"

The last Portland dragon rider was impaled by the spear and thrown off the dragon's back. With a flick of the Silanese knight's wrist, he fell in an arc, breaking a tree branch and landing with a heavy thud in the forest.

The Portland air knight's scream abruptly ended.

Only the mournful cries of the two dragons remained in the sky.
