The first batch consisted of ten Dragon Knights, who received emergency training, including high-altitude flight skills, map recognition, and so on. These were basic knowledge for Dragon Knights, so it was more of a review for them.

Then came the most important part.

Those Dragon Knights who were loyal to Yake were placed in a special device. These devices would maintain the Dragon Knights’ lives, and then, these devices would be installed on a new weapon called the ’Scourge Bomb’.

The Scourge Bomb, a name given by Yake, he hoped that these bombs could sweep across the White Dragon Empire like a natural disaster.

These massive black spheres, over ten meters in diameter, were covered in scales of the Black Dragon. At the top, under a sheet of glass, Black Dragon Knights sealed in special devices were in intense pain.

The Scourage Bombs were fusing with Black Dragon Knights through a bizarre contractual method, and the Black Dragon Knights would control the Scourage Bombs as if they were using their own bodies.

However, not every Black Dragon Knight could eventually complete the contract.

In fact, three of the Black Dragon Knights died on the spot, all shattered to pieces, but still seven of the Black Dragon Knights completed the contract!

When everything was done, Yake felt all the scales on his body stood up. The unstable Dragon Power contained in the ten-meter diameter sphere, once unleashed, would cause horrific damage, a destructive power that might even surpass a Black Dragon!

"Long live King Yake!"

A Black Dragon Knight in a Scourge Bomb roared, strange runes appeared all over the Scourge Bomb, repelling the air and slowly ascending. As it relied completely on the runes to operate, the acceleration performance of the Scourge Bomb wasn’t great. The most important thing was that the spherical shape made for considerable air resistance. That meant that to achieve high speeds, the Scourge Bomb needed to consume even more Dragon Power!

But it didn’t matter, they could provide more Dragon Power!

Yake kept flying alongside the Scourge Bomb, while Tilian was loudly giving orders to the Black Dragon Knights.

The Scourge Bomb continued to ascend, reaching a height and speed that Yake simply couldn’t match with the power of the magic. Despite the inevitable loss of some Dragon Power, it was enough to rival Long Yi’s intercontinental Beetle Missile!

"Now, target the Imperial City of the White Dragon Empire!" Yake cried out, his face twisted with emotion, as seven Scourge Missiles simultaneously took off!

"Long live! Long live!"

Black Dragon Knights roared, controlling the Scourge Bomb, flying off into the distance, and disappearing out of sight.

That afternoon in the Imperial City of the White Dragon Empire, everything seemed as prosperous as usual. Yet, Emperor Kirei was feeling oddly restless, he didn’t know why. Given the current situation, where the Black Dragon Empire had been continuously beaten, he should have been feeling relatively at ease, so why wasn’t he?

Lately, Long Yi seemed busier than before. He didn’t need to worry about the intercontinental missiles anymore, he’d been busy powering up for the White Dragons of the White Dragon Empire. Kirei knew Long Yi was a Giant, having the ability to lift the curse of the Dragon Clan, though it was somewhat difficult. So, recently, Long Yi had been looking for some shortcuts. He wasn’t around at this time, it was unclear what progress he’d made.

Speaking of progress, the Crystal Core and Mechanical Research Institute had jointly developed a lot of interesting things. The last exploration bird that Long Yi damaged, they had already developed a more advanced version. Kirei often took it out to play with when he was tired.

Overall, it looked like a sculpture, but its body was made of metal and crystal. Instead of using wings to ascend, it relied on magic. Kirei threw it out the window, and it immediately soared up into the sky.

Behind him, a gigantic crystal tablet immediately displayed a clear image. Looking down on the Imperial City from high above, Kirei hadn’t done that personally for quite some time. As the emperor, he had to protect himself and not take any risks. This small hobby could only be indulged through such means.

The sculpture continued to rise, the Imperial City was fully visible and, gradually, so were several camps in the distance. Over at Long Yi’s Legion, the Dandi sisters were still conducting training that humans couldn’t understand.

Keep rising, keep rising, keep rising to the limit.

Kirei looked into the distance, at the vast land, feeling emotions surge within him, reflecting on everything.

However, he soon realized, there seemed to be several black dots flying rapidly from afar!

One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven!

Seven black dots in total!

Those weren’t Dragon Knights. Dragon Knights couldn’t reach such great heights!

The resemblance, it was as if the missiles launched by Long Yi...

Missiles!!

Kirei’s heart skipped a beat. Yes, he finally realized why he had been feeling uneasy. He had been thinking about one thing: if we can have intercontinental missiles, could the Black Dragon Empire have the same?

At that time, Long Yi had laughed and said, "Yes, they definitely will. That’s why I have specifically placed more light cannons around the Imperial Palace to prevent this from happening."

And now there seemed to be an answer!

"Enemy attack! Emergency Plan Three!" Kirei roared.

Emperor Kirei has established an extremely effective command transmission system. As long as it is Kirei’s command, it will be conveyed at an extremely high speed, and even today is no exception.

The so-called Plan Three is in place to deal with this kind of situation. In fact, there is no Plan One or Plan Two. Long Yi named it Plan Three just because he thought the number sounded good.

The piercing alarm sounded almost immediately within the Imperial City, and the orderly streets immediately descended into chaos. The city had organized similar drills in the past, and virtually everyone in the Imperial City knew what to do. But back then, people were notified in advance, unlike now, where the shrill alarm was accompanied by the noises from the City Defense Army.

This is not a drill! It’s an attack!

Some people successfully found suitable shelter, while others were paralyzed with fear on the spot.

Tall towers stood within the Imperial City. At the top of these towers, Lumberjack Crabs fired missiles to intercept any incoming threats. Around the Imperial Palace, there were even more newly built towers, on the top of which were on-duty Backplate Dragons!

These immense Backplate Dragons closed in tightly, their Dragon Riders fixedly looking towards the distant sky.

They could not yet see with their eyes, but the Lumberjack Crabs’ missiles could already detect the enemies, and were ready to engage immediately upon detecting any enemy movement!

Explosions sparked on the distant horizon, those were the results of Beetle Missiles hitting their target.

Inside the Imperial Palace, Kirei was staring intently at the screen. Through the mechanical eyes, he could see everything more clearly.

The first wave of Beetle Missiles exploded successfully, but they failed to stop the enemy. The enemy was still advancing!

At this time, all the White Dragon Riders around the Imperial City had taken to the skies, with some starting to move towards the target area!

Launch the second round of missiles!

The first wave was just probing, with only a small number of missiles being fired. The second wave, however, was a saturation attack!

All the Beetle Missiles were fired with a howl. This time, huge sparks erupted, and one target was destroyed!

The immense impact of the explosion made Yake’s eyes widen. The power of these weapons was no less than that of intercontinental Beetle Missiles!

But now, there were still six targets! And by now, even human eyes could see them!

Six huge spheres, covered with runes, roared down from the sky like massive meteors.

The explosion just now seemed to have slowed them down a bit, causing their momentum to decrease somewhat, but the terrifying Dragon Power enclosed within them had not lessened at all!

The White Dragon Riders near the Imperial City were the first to face these incoming targets!

The celestial bomb was positioned very high, the White Dragons ascended to their limits and aimed at the target.

"Attack!" Several white Dragon Breath attacks were unleashed towards the celestial bomb, but only shattered the surface of the bomb, revealing the sturdy internal armor. Surprisingly, not one was destroyed! The Dragon Riders controlling these celestial bombs were desperate, pushing the bombs to accelerate further in order to fulfill their mission: to destroy the Imperial Palace of the White Dragon Empire! To take revenge for the great Emperor of the Black Dragon Empire!

The attack was unsuccessful. Six Terror Bombs carrying immense power roared towards the Imperial City.

At this moment, the Backplate Dragon’s Light Cannon was also ready! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to qidian.com to vote for it, and buy monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
