Is Chapter 229 the end?
"By the gods..."
"A Frost Knight murmured, his hand already on the hilt of his sword—an instinctive reaction to an unknown threat."
As the distance closed, everyone could clearly see that each unicorn was ridden by a knight clad in gleaming silver heavy armor.
The armor was incredibly mysterious, with tiny magical ice flowers constantly fluttering and dissipating around it, clearly indicating that it was a high-level magical weapon.
The knights carried a large, azure-blue sword slung across their backs. The blade was more than twice as wide as a regular knight's sword, and just looking at it, one could imagine the weight of the sword when it was swung.
In the blink of an eye, more than three hundred unicorns descended on the clearing outside the forest like a meteor shower in broad daylight.
The holy white flames and the icy blue light of the knight's armor complemented each other, creating a breathtaking sight, standing silently before Richard.
...
Albert stared intently at the unicorn knights who had descended from the sky, his eyes wide with shock, his scalp tingling!
Nearly three hundred Sky Knights!!
Is this the Prince's Guard arriving?!
不 ...
Prince Ares's legion was composed of griffins, not the legendary holy unicorns that only occasionally appeared in the golden forests of the south.
Albert suddenly noticed that the chiffon family crest, with its storm cloud pattern, was printed on the chest of these knights' armor.
It really is chiffon cake!?
So what exactly is going on here?!
Isn't Chiffon Collar a newly developed, pioneering territory?
How could they possess such terrifying resources? Where did these unicorns and magical armor come from?
What shocked him even more was that although these unicorns were only at the intermediate level of extraordinary, he dared not underestimate them in the slightest.
Not all monsters are the same.
Just like a juvenile dragon, even if it is only at the intermediate level, its strength far exceeds that of a high-level Gale Dire Wolf. This is an absolute difference brought about by the biological power of the body itself.
The Titan royal family's bloodline talent power is the same; they can become giants tens of meters tall. Even without any life force, their terrifying weight alone can easily crush several high-level superhuman soldiers to death!
These unicorns in front of us are clearly legendary monsters with special biological power!
Legendary monster...
Mass production of high-level magical equipment...
A dozen or so war mages...
The size of this legion, apart from the fact that all of them are mid-level transcendents, is already comparable to that of the Wolves, right?
Even the Frost Knights weren't 100% confident they could defeat them!
Albert's face flushed slightly at the thought of the slight disdain he had felt for Lord Chiffon just moments before...
...
"So many Sky Knights..."
Lucy was also shocked, her face filled with disbelief.
Riding a flying monster war mount is called a Sky Knight, whose combat advantages far surpass those of a Ground Knight.
Flying monsters are already extremely rare, and forcibly taming them in the sky is even more difficult than climbing to heaven.
Throughout the entire Frostlands, only her father, Viscount Brad, and she each possessed a flying warhorse, which they had captured after expending considerable effort.
She could understand any other family bringing out so many unicorns, but she just couldn't understand Qi Feng's situation!
She had always thought Richard was an enigmatic man, and now the mystery surrounding him had only deepened...
...
Richard smiled calmly.
Now that the conditions are right, how could a lord possibly travel with only fifteen soldiers?
The main force is hidden above the clouds, having drunk the Eagle Eye Potion. If needed, they can be summoned down immediately by waving a flag.
He didn't explain to Lucy for the moment, but turned to face his legion and drew the Dark Sword from his waist.
A dense aura of darkness instantly emanated from the translucent blade, and the tip of the sword pointed directly towards Ironwater Ridge!
"Come with me and wipe out the Iron Water Clan."
There was no pre-battle mobilization, no impassioned speeches, just this simple sentence.
After saying that, he took off and flew rapidly towards the direction of Ironwater Territory.
Almost simultaneously, the Chiffon Guards, riding their unicorns, turned in unison, transforming into a dazzling torrent of light and flames as they soared into the sky.
With a low roar, Dayun, carrying more than a dozen Chiffon soldiers, including the Life Apostle, broke through the forest barrier and rushed towards Ironwater Territory.
...
Lucy reached out to call out to Richard, but all that remained in mid-air was a faint, fading flame.
She bit her lip, turned around, and ran towards her personal war mount, the Cloud Hawk.
"Miss!" Albert stepped in front of her, his face serious.
"Please consider the family's well-being. Qi Feng has demonstrated the strength to handle this on her own; there's no need for us to get involved!"
In his view, the problem was not that chiffon could defeat molten iron, but that frost should not be dragged into this war that was not in accordance with the law.
Lucy was extremely anxious. Looking towards the distant Ironwater Territory, she quickly said:
"Then let the Knights stay here, and only you will come with me. In name only, we'll be witnesses. Is that alright?"
Albert pondered for a moment and felt that the suggestion was reasonable.
"Can."
...
The grove was only a few kilometers away from the Ironwater Territory, but when they arrived, they found that the city gate had been smashed.
Dozens of corpses lay at the city gate, all of them extraordinary soldiers and knights clad in molten iron armor.
The city was in complete disarray, with soldiers' corpses lying everywhere. The Chiffon Knight, carrying a blood-dripping azure greatsword, patrolled the streets.
Albert was speechless.
Ironwater Command has nine Star Radiance Transcendents and over two hundred Transcendent soldiers. Even if they are incompetent, they shouldn't have been defeated so quickly!
How long has it been? They rushed here as fast as they could, and it was over before they even saw the battle?
Outrageous!
As they continued deeper in, Lucy and Albert finally saw the "end" of the battle.
In the market square, Baron Ironwater trembled, his face ashen, as he knelt before the enormous rock-armored earth dragon.
Richard stood on the back of the Great Wall, his Dark Sword sheathed, looking down at the Iron Baron with an expression so calm it sent chills down one's spine.
Why?
Upon hearing this question, Baron Ironwater abruptly raised his head, and his face, contorted with fear, suddenly broke into a maniacal laugh!
"Why? Hahaha! I want to know why too! Why does the Empire insist on going to war with the Papacy!?"
He smiled, but tears kept streaming down his face.
"Today they've caused a plague that has killed nearly half of my serfs. Who knows what trouble they'll cause tomorrow? My small territory of Iron Mine can't withstand their antics!"
"Since the North will inevitably be plunged into misery and war sooner or later, why should I stay there? I don't want to play along!"
He pointed to the edge of the square, where thousands of Ironwater citizens lay prostrate, trembling and afraid to look up.
"It would be better to use the plague to kill these lowly people! Loot their homes and take that wealth to the Demon Spirit Empire!"
He became more and more agitated as he spoke, his voice becoming hoarse.
"There's no war or conflict over there! As long as I buy another baronial title, my family can always rebuild and thrive there! Anyway, this damned North..."
Before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and the madness in his eyes was instantly replaced by extreme fear!
This was because the rock-armored earth dragon in front of him had already raised its huge front hooves!
Then step down...
boom!
—War tramples!
A deafening roar shook the earth!
