Chapter 405: Barrington's Immortal Body

The gust of wind brought by the dragon not only blew into the hearts of the nobles present, but also spread at a very fast speed to the entire Noble Allied Forces and the two Knight Orders.

For a time, the morale of the army, which had been affected by the news of the Heimang City army pressing on the border, was greatly boosted.

Besides that, the arrival of Ruidar made everyone's confidence increase even more.

Luoning felt that if Ruidar were to directly reveal his strength as a Blazing Sun Knight, this group of people would probably be so excited they wouldn't be able to sleep.

However, Meteor-level is just about enough; there is no need to reveal the matter of being a Blazing Sun Knight.

After all, the tree that stands above the forest will be destroyed by the wind; it is better to keep a low profile for now, so as not to repeat the mistakes Lulansi made thirty years ago.

After everyone's confidence was greatly boosted, the next step was to discuss the battle plan.

Because Luoning had led many people to earn honors in the battle against the Bolante Bandit Group, he was not only the commander of the Noble Allied Forces today, but also had a dragon and powerful followers, so he was naturally pushed to the forefront and became the commander-in-chief for the Cuican City side.

The two Regiment Commanders, Kabier and Sanduoluo, had absolutely no objections; they even temporarily handed over the command of their Knight Orders to Luoning.

However, Luoning left the Noble Allied Forces to Ruidar to take charge of, and he did not interfere with the two Knight Orders.

All he could do was decide on the general location of the battlefield.

The terrain at the border between Cuican City and Heimang City is relatively flat; even if there are hills, they are all inconspicuous small hills, and the vast majority is plain.

Under this kind of terrain, there is no good geographical advantage.

In the end, Luoning chose the battlefield location at the foot of a small hill, with a fairly vast plain in front.

By comparison, his team had an easier time arriving here, while the other side had a longer distance to trek.

After the agreement was made, Luoning had Mawen and the others first propagate the method of completely severing the vitality of the Witch Soul Clan to every soldier.

Fortunately, the soldiers trained daily and were quite familiar with things like delivering the finishing blow; after all, sometimes military merit was calculated by severed heads, so cutting off an enemy's head on the battlefield was still easy to accept.

As for some Intermediate and Advanced Knights, it was much simpler; as long as they poured a large amount of Battle Qi into the enemy's body, the enemy would turn into powder.

The next morning before dawn, the army set out, and by around ten o'clock in the morning, the team arrived at the predetermined location to set up camp and rest for a while.

Ruige used the Telescope Luoning gave him to pass back intelligence on the enemy army from time to time.

"My Lord, the enemy is already under the small hill in front of the grassland. I see they don't seem to have any intention of resting; I estimate they will be coming over soon!"

Ruige ended the intelligence reconnaissance because the enemy army was already approaching.

Luoning looked toward the front; although that small hill was truly small, it could block his line of sight.

"Everyone is fed and watered, prepare to meet the enemy," Luoning ordered.

On the other side, the Heimang City team led by Balindun and Taini had already arrived at the foot of the hill.

"Balindun, we should stop and rest first!"

Taini strongly suggested: "The opponent's scouts have already discovered us, and our scouts have also discovered that they are camping on the opposite side of this hill. If we don't rest and reorganize and go straight over, the opponent's physical strength will definitely be better, which is disadvantageous to us."

Balindun chuckled, "Do you think my soldiers need to rest, Father-in-law?"

Taini looked at the soldiers around him who gave him a feeling of numbness, and he understood less and less: what exactly happened to this group of people?

What he understood even less was that the current Balindun made him feel very strange.

In the past, although his son-in-law was narrow-minded and had a violent temper, he could still listen to suggestions that were beneficial to him.

But now, no matter what the suggestion was along the way, the other party wouldn't listen at all, and even refuted his proposals everywhere.

"Balindun, what exactly is wrong with you?"

Taini twitched his beard, "When did you become so completely arrogant that you don't even take the enemy seriously?"

Balindun frowned; if it weren't for the fact that Taini had some strength and quite a few people under his command, such questioning would be enough to cost the other party their life.

Now, he wouldn't give the other party face just because they were his father-in-law.

"Taini, I am very powerful now!"

Balindun drew the Dagger from his waist and fiercely stabbed it into his own heart.

This scene made Taini's scalp tingle and his hair stand on end: "What are you doing, are you crazy???"

He thought Balindun was self-mutilating.

But the next scene completely shattered his perception.

He saw Balindun pull out the Dagger; not only did the wound not bleed, but it was completely fine.

"See that? I have an immortal body, and my stamina is stronger than others!"

Balindun asked triumphantly: "With a body like this, who on the battlefield can kill me?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the soldiers beside him, "Many of them are like me; ordinary swords simply cannot stab them to death. Tell me, do we still need to fear enemies who are merely of Mortal flesh?"

Balindun knew the weakness of the Witch Soul Clan, but it wasn't as if injecting a little bit of external extraordinary power into his body could kill him.

On the contrary, he was a Golden Peak Knight; to turn him into powder and kill him required a significant amount of extraordinary power to be injected.

Facing people whose strength was inferior to his, his claim of having an immortal body seemed to have some truth to it.

Taini looked at his son-in-law as if he were a monster; so this was Balindun's reliance.

"What kind of ability is this?"

He was both confused and somewhat fearful, yet also somewhat yearning.

"You want it too?"

Balindun smiled, his tone full of temptation: "After this war is won, I will request the divine envoy Mofisite to bestow a gift upon you, and then you will be just like me."

"Mofisite? Divine envoy?" Taini asked in confusion.

Balindun did not answer this question; he patted Taini on the shoulder, "Let's go, let's finish this quickly!"

Taini took a deep breath and did not continue to ask.

He understood what Balindun's confidence and reliance stemmed from.

With such an ability, there was indeed capital to be arrogant.

"Fine, as you wish."

Taini shouted loudly: "Continue forward!"

Before long, the army of Heimang City reached the hillside, and from their high vantage point, they could see a large number of men and horses camping and resting at the other end of the plain.

"Enjoy these last moments of peace."

On the other side, when the enemy appeared, Luoning and the others noticed them immediately.

Without needing him to command, everyone in the Noble Allied Forces and the two Knight Orders had already drawn their shields and longswords, dispersing under the arrangements of their captains and commanders to form three phalanxes in battle formation.

Luoning and the others stood at the front of the ranks, quietly waiting for the enemy to descend the hillside and slowly approach.

One thousand meters, eight hundred meters, six hundred meters...

Just as the distance between the two sides was about to reach the five hundred meters required for a charge, a massive shadow swept across the low altitude.

Awoo~

The sound of a dragon's roar echoed across the entire plain.

The heart of the confident and arrogant Balindun sank, and he felt an unprecedented crisis and a fear in his soul.

He seemed very afraid of this sound.

"What is that?"

Taini and the other normal men looked toward the sky one after another, only to see a giant dragon spreading its massive wings and flying toward them.

"Archers, prepare!"

Taini was indeed a veteran of many battles, and he immediately made arrangements, "Knights, prepare to use Battle Technique to attack!"

Although the giant dragon was powerful, he did not have much time for wonder at this moment, nor could he think too much; he could only treat Kaierluosi as an ordinary flying Magic Beast.

Although those archers and knights were afraid, they subconsciously took action upon hearing the command.

"Whoosh!"

Kaierluosi increased his altitude slightly, then spat out a mouthful of Flame Breath, which poured down from the sky like spilled water.

"Damn it, there's actually a giant dragon!"

Balindun also reacted, hurriedly using a Battle Technique, and together with the other knights, joined forces to resist the Flame Breath.

Rumble~

The collision between Battle Qi and flames produced a huge explosion.

Although Kaierluosi's breath was not weak, the combined Battle Technique of the knights still managed to dissipate most of the breath in the air, with only a small portion leaking through and falling onto the soldiers of the Witch Soul Clan.

In an instant, those soldiers wailed and roared as they were scorched by the Flame Breath and turned into dust.

"Fire!" Taini shouted loudly.

Swish, swish, swish!

Dense volleys of arrows shot into the air; some fell halfway due to lack of power, and some missed because their aim was poor.

However, some still struck Kaierluosi's scales, not even leaving a white mark.

But a few Mofajian struck his scales; although they did not hurt him, they rubbed against them to produce intense sparks, making Kaierluosi feel some vibration.

He shook his head and circled back, and this time he spat out a mouthful of Ice Breath.

Taini and the others repeated their old trick and resisted again, but another dozen or so soldiers lost their lives, and the massive air currents knocked many people to the ground.

"Trying to wear us out here?"

Balindun sensed the dragon's intention and roared angrily, "All knights and cavalry, charge for me! I don't believe this beast will attack its own side!"

He thought correctly; once the two sides engaged in close-quarters combat, if Kaierluosi used his breath at this time, he would likely injure his own side.

This move by Balindun did indeed limit Kaierluosi's performance.

However, seeing the giant dragon display its might and throw the enemy army into chaos, the morale of Luoning's side had soared to the heavens.

Charging at this moment, they were not afraid at all!

Ruidar, Mawen, Weituolinuo, Kabier, and the others all mounted their horses and drew their swords.

"For the glory of Wushan Castle!"

"Everyone, charge!" (End of chapter)
