Chapter 38

Under normal circumstances, the air mount and the air knight live, eat, and travel together, maintaining the best possible synchronization. Even if the air knight finds a girl for a moment of pleasure, the air mount would not leave its knight by more than a hundred meters, waiting in the next room for its knight to finish.

The response from the Tersi Empire air knight Rois was unexpected. Such a situation was quite rare.

As a Tersi air knight secretly joining the Portland Vanguard Corps, he did not introduce himself or ask for Lin Mo's name. It would be very impolite to ask without introducing oneself. At this moment, reporting his name would mean leaking military secrets of the empire, so he was happy to pretend to have forgotten to mention it.

"Surrender, and I will treat you as an air knight."

Rois guessed that the other party's air mount had already been killed, using "not here" as a cover to increase his own value and the treatment of a prisoner.

According to the unwritten rules of warfare among nations, once an air knight becomes a prisoner, apart from being restricted in movement, they would not be bound by chains or subjected to any punishment. They would be well-fed and well-treated, and even if they wanted women to serve them, it would not be a problem. They would just have to wait for their country or faction to ransom them, without any loss of honor.

"What if I say no!"

Lin Mo sneered.

In the air mount units he belonged to, whether it was the Royal Dragon Cavalry Corps or the Chinese Air Force, there had never been an air knight who surrendered. It was even less likely to happen to him.

There are only dragon knights who die in battle, not those who surrender.

There are only pilots who die in battle, not those who surrender.

"You, you actually refuse? Are you crazy? Don't you know the consequences of refusing?"

Rois thought his ears were deceiving him, looking at the Sylan air knight wrapped in black heavy knight armor with disbelief.

The other party actually refused to surrender, which was a good gesture! He could not find any reason for the other party to refuse.

With such treatment, the other party refused without hesitation.

Surrounded by the Portland "Red Eye Lion" Vanguard Corps, this Sylan air knight, whose air mount was "not by his side," was alone. Was he mentally unstable, tired of living, and only seeking a quick death?

Out of respect for the other party's waiting for him to complete the air knight's unwritten ritual, Lin Mo did not launch a surprise attack. He maintained his sword pointed at the other party, silently expressing his determination.

"Since that's the case!"

Rois' face immediately turned cold, and he drew the huge two-handed greatsword hanging from the Raptor.

Since that's the case, then being captured is a form of respect, and personally slaying the other party is also a form of respect.

Battle aura surged, an invisible and powerful force infused his limbs and body, enhancing his strength, agility, and perception to a level far beyond the ordinary.

That was the wind element attribute of the battle aura, which was highly compatible with the Raptor's wind attribute, in addition to its lightning attribute. This Tersi air knight in the Portland army was also a formidable opponent not to be underestimated.

"Kill!~"

The Tersi air knight made the first move.

The wind element battle aura provided a natural speed boost, and his steps, like shadows, rapidly built up momentum to the extreme, as if ready to unleash an unstoppable and brutal killing intent, like a violent tornado sweeping everything away.

Seventh rank?

A bright white light suddenly appeared on the surface of the "Dragon General" tactical armor, indicating the light element battle aura reaching its peak.

Break Array Killing Sword!~

The most refined sword technique is not the most powerful, but rather, the most proficient sword technique is the most powerful.

As an air knight dominating the skies, he would not be inferior on the ground.

" Ninth rank? Light attribute?"

Rois was suddenly startled, no wonder the other party was so confident.

He roared and launched a preemptive strike, his two-handed greatsword, infused with wind element battle aura, slashed upward from below, targeting the dragon knight standing still.

Although a downward full-force slash was more powerful, it would lose some flexibility and agility, and using a move without any reserve against an unknown opponent was very reckless, potentially putting himself in danger.

The greatsword, as a pure infantry weapon, excelled in cutting through the opponent's weapons, especially the standard long spears of air mounts.

Rois wielded the "slash" ability to its fullest, and the air suddenly exploded with a fierce force.

Boom!~

A loud explosion, and a violent shockwave erupted from the collision of the two blades.

The two men locked eyes, their weapons clashing, neither giving an inch.

The battle between air knights was so intense that it made one's eyes twitch.

Zzzzz... A lightning bolt as thick as a baby's arm shot out from behind Rois, the sharp and unpredictable nature of the lightning spell fully displayed.

The Raptor, which had a perfect rapport with its knight, also saw the danger and acted.

A powerful force surged from the greatsword, and Rois' face changed. Without hesitation, he changed his tactics and chose to retreat, but the force was greater than expected, and he was forced to step back over ten steps before he could counteract it.

The two-rank difference in strength was so significant that Rois was no match in a direct confrontation. Once the peak of his strength passed, he was immediately pushed back.

Lin Mo's knight greatsword spun like a windmill, attracting the lightning bolt towards it. The flashing and jumping electricity wrapped around the blade, crackling and popping like a swift dragon.

Swoosh!~

A light sound, and the two-handed knight greatsword was inserted into the ground. The lightning bolt, as if attracted by something, burrowed into the ground and disappeared, leaving only a faint smell of ozone in the air.

That was the unique smell of ozone.

Air knights and their mounts fighting side by side was to be expected. The Raptor's sudden release of a spell attack was entirely reasonable and not at all underhanded.

The other party had chosen to fight on the ground, which was also a form of respect for Lin Mo.

Moreover, the injury inflicted by the flying dragon lance on the Raptor was not as severe as it appeared.

"You, you, this, how is this possible?"

Rois pointed at Lin Mo in disbelief. The other party had so easily neutralized the Raptor's innate spell, Thunder Dragon Flash, and appeared completely unharmed.

The other party should have been convulsing and smoking with a burnt smell, collapsing in a miserable state.

What was going on?

Was the other party not of the light element, but of the lightning or earth element, or had a seven-star or higher elemental affinity? Otherwise, it would be impossible to so easily redirect the power of Thunder Dragon Flash into the ground.

The "Dragon General" digital single-soldier tactical armor's surface defense plates and flexible layers were all made of special molecular polymer materials, which were not only extremely strong and lightweight but also excellent insulators.

Lin Mo was like wearing a sealed insulating suit; how could even the strongest current affect him?

The knight greatsword inserted into the ground acted like a lightning rod, allowing the earth to absorb the massive energy of the lightning.

"Nothing is impossible in this world."

Pulling the two-handed knight greatsword out of the ground, Lin Mo turned sideways, his brows furrowed, and faced the man and the bird.

For the Tersi Empire air knight, what just happened might not conform to common sense, but it was entirely consistent with science.

"Electronic impedance module activated!"

With a prompt sound, the "Dragon General" tactical armor, which had just been subjected to an internal induced current, now had its defense against lightning attacks increased by countless times, activating the "immunity" mode to lightning spells, making the Raptor seem like a novice.

In the other world, where technology was the direction of civilization's development, the study and application of electricity had reached a level of mastery. Whether controlling or defending against electricity, it was something that no civilization in Lin Mo's current world could match.

The ninth-rank Raptor was completely unaware that its unique skill had been completely "immunized" by the armor on the other party's body.

"Right there, surround him, don't let him escape!"

"Front line, swordsmen in front, spear and shield soldiers in formation, keep the steps consistent, archers in two groups, first group, load arrows, ready!"

With the shouts nearby, figures moved in the surrounding forest, the sound of branches breaking or being cut, and heavy footsteps growing closer.

The Portland army had surrounded the area where Lin Mo and the Tersi Empire air knight were.

Clearly, in their eyes, a Sylan knight who had caused them significant casualties was far more attractive than a border town.
