A long dragon's roar echoed across the sky, and a pale green dragon appeared in the distance. The Slan Empire's "Reversed Scale" First Cavalry Division, which had just resumed marching, involuntarily slowed down. The fully armed knights began to reach for their weapons.
If they were caught off guard and attacked by a dragon rider from another country, it would certainly be a disgrace to the Slan Empire. Although dragon riders were a specialty of the Slan Empire, they were not exclusive to it. Under this vast sky, a few other countries also had a small number of dragon riders.
For the dragon clan in the Sky Dragon City, they only recognized the dragon flute, not the human government. Whoever held the dragon flute had the chance to attempt, under the witness of the Dragon God's covenant, to sign an equal partnership contract with a successfully matched dragon, becoming a powerful dragon rider.
The pale green dragon flew at an incredible speed, its elongated head pushing a conical shockwave of air in front of it. In just a few breaths, it arrived above the "Reversed Scale" First Cavalry Division. It was actually heading straight for the First Cavalry Division!
This discovery immediately put the knights on the ground on high alert. The six accompanying mages began to chant spells, casting magical shields around themselves. Two sorcerers even took out their spellcasting devices and watched the dragon warily.
"It's a wind dragon! Spread out, quickly spread out!"
"The other side isn't our dragon rider!"
"Prepare the longbows, switch to magic arrows! Sorcerers Glen and Polly, get ready!"
Some keen-eyed knights on the ground saw the rider on the back of the pale green dragon. The rider wore heavy armor that they had never seen before, but it was definitely not the dark steel secret armor of the Slan Empire's Royal Dragon Cavalry.
Although each dragon rider's dark steel secret armor had a slightly different design, they all followed the same style and had a very obvious Royal Dragon Cavalry emblem. However, none of these were present on the armor the rider was wearing.
"Huh? It's Lieutenant Colonel Lin Mo! Where did he find a dragon?"
Sister Li Mu Xin, who was sitting motionless on her warhorse, stared in disbelief at the dragon in the sky. The Slan people didn't recognize Lin Mo's "Dragon Commander" land and air dual-use digital single-soldier tactical armor, but the Gemini sisters did.
They were amazed at how this guy had managed to get another dragon. Such a grand and impressive entrance was truly a show of power and wealth, almost like losing a Bentley a few days ago and then casually appearing with a Bugatti.
This kind of extravagant behavior was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
"Look! Sister, didn't I just mention him?"
Younger sister Li Mu Bing deliberately mocked her sister with a sour tone. Indeed, as soon as she mentioned him, he appeared, which was incredibly coincidental, even faster than Cao Cao.
Cao Cao could only walk or ride a horse, but this guy, Lin Mo or Mo Lin, directly rode a dragon, easily outpacing Cao Cao by a great distance.
"Hmph!"
Li Mu Xin gritted her teeth, feeling frustrated that her sister had the upper hand for once.
The two sisters were still searching for information about Lin Mo, but they didn't expect him to find them first. Although they didn't know what had happened in between, they could confirm that Lieutenant Colonel Lin Mo's survival skills were unexpectedly strong.
With a light roar, the pale green wind dragon circled in the sky twice and then slowly landed on the side of the road, carelessly knocking down three or four trees. Its wings flapped, causing nearby trees to break and branches to fall, clearing a small area.
This made the Slan knights, whose hearts were almost jumping out of their throats, breathe a sigh of relief. From the looks of it, the other side wasn't there to cause trouble, otherwise it wouldn't have landed like this.
With the attack power of a wind dragon, it was not impossible to wipe out their cavalry division, especially since the First Cavalry Division was severely lacking in mages and sorcerers.
"Lin Mo! Uh! Mo Lin! Mo Lin!"
Li Mu Bing patted her chestnut warhorse and galloped towards where the dragon had landed, waving her hand vigorously. She was clearly much more active than her sister.
Fortunately, the names Lin Mo and Mo Lin were easily confused, so the other Slan people didn't notice her slip of the tongue.
As a native of Earth civilization, she only knew about the dragon clan from Lin Mo's scattered accounts and had no concept of fear.
"Slow down, sister!"
The older sister, Li Mu Xin, still maintained some caution, knowing that dragons were not Chihuahuas but were more terrifying than lions and tigers.
"Come back, come back! It's dangerous!"
"Come back quickly! Is it Xin or Bing? It's dangerous!"
"Heaven! Is she crazy?"
The Slan knights of the First Cavalry Division didn't know whether it was the older sister Xin or the younger sister Bing who had rushed out first, so they quickly shouted.
More than ten knights broke away from the formation, forming a loose inward arc, and cautiously approached.
They didn't dare to be careless, but they were even more worried about the safety of the twin sisters, who were highly favored by the generals and commanders.
"That's right, I've arrived, thank you, Lord Wu Yin!"
Lin Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief as he slid off the dragon's back using its right front limb, patted the wind dragon's scales, and expressed his gratitude.
In the sky, he hadn't dared to breathe, and only when he truly set foot on the ground did he feel a sudden sense of relief.
Although the wind dragon had agreed to carry him to the Slan Empire's army, in fact, once they left the ground, its aura had tightly locked onto him, like a shackle, preventing him from moving, probably to guard against any hidden malicious intentions.
"This is Lord Wu Yin's reward for you! Remember what I told you, goodbye, human!"
The wind dragon didn't hesitate, flapped its wings, and its body, supported by the active wind element energy, lifted off the ground. Its scales and wings stirred up a strong wind, propelling it to accelerate rapidly, breaking the sound barrier with a loud roar and disappearing into the distance.
The wind dragon, known for its speed, was second only to the spatial silver dragons. Such a flight speed could only be matched by a jet fighter.
Watching the wind dragon fly away at high speed, Lin Mo suddenly slapped his head, realizing he had forgotten something extremely important.
"Damn, I forgot to ask if it had any news about that guy, even if it could just go to the Sky Dragon City to gather information. What a mess! I completely forgot."
He had been so focused on the wind dragon's aura that he had forgotten to ask about this.
Seeing the wind dragon suddenly leave and leave its dragon rider behind, the Slan knights, who were unsure of the situation, all breathed a sigh of relief.
They feared the dragon but not the dragon rider, just as in Earth civilization, people feared fighter jets but not pilots.
"Lieutenant Colonel Lin Mo!"
Hearing the urgent hoofbeats, Lin Mo put aside his frustration and looked over.
Li Mu Bing, dressed in a coral red female warrior's outfit and a light leather armor, rode up, pulled the reins, and stopped steadily beside Lin Mo, saluting him with a standard military salute.
Seeing Lin Mo safe and sound, she felt a great weight lifted off her shoulders, and her mood improved significantly.
"Major Li Mu Bing."
Lin Mo returned the modern military salute.
"Get on!"
Li Mu Bing extended her hand, not minding if he rode with her.
Lin Mo smiled slightly, not being overly formal, and grabbed her soft hand, using it to help him leap up and land lightly behind her, wrapping his arms around her.
The limited space on the horse meant that no matter how they adjusted, Li Mu Bing would remain in a position like a bird nestled in Lin Mo's arms.
"Don't move!"
Li Mu Bing suddenly realized she was in a bind, flicked the reins, and turned the horse back to the formation, her face flushed red.
An inexperienced maiden, even one who considered herself a tough woman, couldn't help but feel shy and awkward in such a close embrace, despite Lin Mo's proper behavior and lack of inappropriate actions.
"Who is that guy?"
The surrounding Slan knights, who had gathered to protect Li Mu Bing, all had the same question in their minds.
However, it was clear that this guy was very familiar with Bing, otherwise he wouldn't have made such an intimate gesture.
The young Slan knights envied and were jealous of the two riding together.
Although the higher-ups in the division valued the twin sisters' abilities more than their appearance, to the lower-ranking soldiers, the black-haired, black-eyed sisters were like goddesses, deeply attracting these men.
Young, beautiful, graceful, well-educated, and intelligent, there were no words to describe the identical twin sisters.
They might be the daughters of a noble family, given their fluent writing and reading skills, which indicated a noble and prestigious background, something that commoners lacking in education could not possess.
Even the proudest knights felt inferior in their presence, stammering when speaking to them.
The knights in the "Reversed Scale" division had hoped that one of the sisters would favor a lucky and self-important young man, but now it seemed that many of their fantasies would be shattered, as the one who had already won the heart of one of the sisters was a noble dragon rider.
They could defeat a dragon rider, but not the dragon itself. Realizing this, many who had harbored hopes quickly lost heart.
"Comrade Li Mu Bing!"
The older sister, Li Mu Xin, arrived with a smile, deliberately scrutinizing her sister and Lieutenant Colonel Lin Mo.
"Get down!"
Li Mu Bing's voice was barely audible, eager to correct her mistake and return to the formation.
Her sister's meaningful gaze made her feel extremely uncomfortable. (To be continued. Search for Piaotian Literature for faster updates and better reading experience!)
