Chapter 43

"Wh-What's going on?"

Centurion Portland stared in disbelief at his empty hands, the same bizarre incident of losing their swords that had happened to the three swordsmen had also occurred to him. The warning from the decurion was merely an instinctive shout, as he did not actually understand the true cause.

On the ground between him and Lin默, a sword hilt lay silently, seemingly mocking someone.

Kicked by the peak ninth-rank Centurion Portland, and with the "Magic Square" arm shield successfully devouring the great sword but not completely absorbing all the kinetic energy, Lin默's "Dragon General" combat boots plowed a deep furrow over a dozen meters before coming to a stop.

Countdown?

As the countdown numbers on the mask's display suddenly changed, Lin默 finally understood what the time value displayed in the lower right corner of the optional equipment icon on the evolution equipment menu meant.

Maintaining the evolved form came at a cost, requiring the consumption of devoured metal.

The more metal devoured, the longer the form could be maintained. If there was a lack of metal resources, the "Magic Square" external module would automatically enter a dormant state, reverting to its original black flat ring, waiting to devour metal and reactivate.

Gold had actually separated his own evolution ability and left it for his knight, seemingly not just a split body granted by the Splitter Metal, but a specialized application of digital modulation to modularize functions, giving Lin默 the impression that he had made the worst-case scenario preparations, as if he would never return.

Thinking back to the various experiences they had shared, and seeing the carefully prepared "gift" left by this glutton, the Dragon Knight was somewhat moved.

It was said that the Gold Dragon clan was a cruel and violent race, but who would have thought such a righteous act could come from them, completely颠覆ing the world's perception of Gold Dragons.

"Magic Square, revert to initial form!"

As soon as Lin默 had the thought, the round shield instantly shrank, and the "Magic Square" external module on his arm automatically reverted to its original bracelet form.

The reaction speed of the thought command seemed to go beyond just pupil positioning and voice commands, hinting at a brainwave control technology.

Suddenly, a bright blue electric bolt struck the Dragon Knight, who had no time to dodge.

It was that annoying Thunderbird again. Lin默 casually shook his body, and the electric bolt vanished without a trace.

"High charge detected, initiating neutralization!"

The "Dragon General" core control system handled the ultra-high voltage and current effortlessly, with no impact or damage, and Lin默 inside the tactical armor was unharmed.

"Lightning immunity? How, how is this possible?"

Knight Royce of the Tercio Empire, in perfect sync with his mount, the Thunderbird Hewy, had prepared to attack the moment the Thunderbird launched its lightning spell, but he was taken aback by the opponent's casual response, forcing him to abruptly halt his charge.

No one could ignore the innate attack spells of a ninth-rank wind and lightning dual-attribute giant bird, especially not a warrior with a light attribute.

The unexpected performance of the "Dragon General" tactical armor instantly shattered the encirclement and pincer attack formation!

"Major Lin默, the evacuation of Snow Pine Town has officially begun. My sister and I will be waiting for you at Rally Point 1."

The voice of Major Li Muxin, the elder of the Gemini sisters, came from the "Dragon General" tactical helmet, indicating that Lin默's orders had been carried out. This was inseparable from the persistent efforts of the Gemini sisters, the fur and herb merchant Usig, the old blacksmith Asun, and Three-Eyed Charlie.

"Understood. I'll try to buy you as much time as possible. Remember, everyone must evacuate Snow Pine Town within fifteen minutes, and don't stop along the way."

Still in combat mode, Lin默 had not yet ended the radio communication with the Gemini sisters when the "Dragon General" issued another warning.

"High temperature energy reaction detected, partial repulsion shield activated!"

Without any action from Lin默, the "Dragon General" naturally responded. This was related to the new battlefield database he had established, which could automatically identify some low-rank attack spells and their corresponding countermeasures. Although not yet perfect, it reserved ample space for future upgrades and expansions, specifically for identifying and classifying new data items such as spells, weapons, and creatures.

The officially released FINAL version of the "Dragon General" did not possess this powerful self-compiling professional function.

"Blazing Fireball!~"

Fourth-rank Mage West of Portland had regrouped, pointing his Soulwood staff at Lin默, and a football-sized fireball shot toward him.

Boom!~

The Blazing Fireball collided with a transparent force field, suddenly bursting into a large flame, the heat and shockwave causing the force field to glow a faint blue.

"Spell Shield?"

Mage West suddenly frowned, clearly sensing that the Blazing Fireball did not hit a common spell shield. Not only that, he could not detect any elemental energy fluctuations.

The endless countermeasures made him feel that the opponent's hidden cards were unfathomable.

A fourth-rank mage, a seventh-rank air knight with a ninth-rank Thunderbird, and a peak ninth-rank great swordsman—Lin默 would never choose to confront such a formidable combination head-on.

His gaze fell on the gun-shield soldiers and archers.

The big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the shrimp. The Dragon Knight knew no mercy.

"Damn! Stop him! Gun-shield squad, archer squad, retreat!"

"Red-Eyed Lion" Centurion Matt saw where the Dragon Knight's gaze was directed and immediately realized what he was about to do, shouting loudly.

"Hmph, too late! Come out, Dragon Slayer!"

Casually sheathing the great knight sword on his back, Lin默 casually swiped his left wrist, and a bright, nearly man-sized great sword appeared as if by divine intervention.

Centurion Matt's warning was too late. Those ordinary soldiers were no match for the Dragon Knight. The Dragon Slayer great sword, like a small door, swept through the crowd without any resistance.

Heads flew through the air, and severed neck arteries spurted terrifying blood columns, the brutality not inferior to that of the Gold Dragon clan.

This was a complete and utter massacre!

The countdown numbers on the mask's display kept jumping up and down but steadily increased.

"Damn, it's the evolution of the Gold Dragon clan!"

Royce had a look as if he had swallowed two pounds of feces, staring wide-eyed at the figure wreaking havoc. The opponent was indeed the most terrifying answer he had guessed: the Dragon Knight of the Sylan Empire's Royal Dragon Cavalry, the ninth-rank light attribute knight Morin, who possessed a vicious Gold Dragon.

What he had not anticipated was that the vicious and terrifying dragon was actually hidden on the opponent's left wrist. This left no room for anyone to live.

With just this ability, any army would be caught off guard, and there were too many things that could be done.

Weren't the Gold Dragon clan always arrogant and unruly? How could they be so cooperative and obedient?

Not only the Tercio Empire's Thunderbird air knights, but even the people of the Portland Republic could not understand the reason behind this.

"Kill!~"

Lin默's figure constantly flashed among the Portland soldiers, leaving a trail of blood and gore wherever he went, with no one below the fifth rank able to withstand him.

The heavy and massive "Magic Square" Dragon Slayer sword mercilessly cut through and stripped away the metal items on the enemies, whether armor or weapons, more thoroughly than a village raid, thus significantly increasing the Dragon Knight's killing power.

"Damn! Stop it."

Seeing his subordinates being slaughtered, Centurion Matt was enraged, his battle aura burning fiercely on his skin. He picked up a five-foot charging sword from a fallen swordsman and charged at Lin默 again, trying to stop him from slaughtering the low-rank soldiers.

"10-ton gravity boost!"

Gripping the hilt of the "Magic Square" Dragon Slayer sword with both hands, the sword indeed became incredibly heavy, but Lin默 used the rotation of the sword and his body to convert the sudden 10-ton weight into an immense centrifugal force.

For Centurion Matt, facing the sweeping Dragon Slayer sword, it was a direct and powerful impact.

The "duet" of the Dragon Knight and the Dragon Slayer sword!

Boom!~

In the shockwave of the ninth-rank battle aura collision, Centurion Matt was thrown back.

The force unleashed by the fully swung Dragon Slayer sword was far more than 10 tons, directly overwhelming the peak ninth-rank advantage.

Can my "Dragon General" still push for the annual best work vote? Is it possible?
