The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 711 - 708: You Can Roll Out Now (First Update)
Chapter 711: Chapter 708: You Can Roll Out Now (First Update)
The tearing bites of three dragons.
The frenzied attacks of three Dragon Knights.
The spectacle of dragon blood spraying and Dou Qi erupting mingled together, shocking the hearts of all who witnessed it. Regardless of whether they were ordinary Knights from the Eagle Kingdom’s fleet or those from the Duchy of Sapphire, everyone stood at the railings, straining to see the dragon-slaying battle unfolding in the distance.
Many saw a real dragon for the first time.
That suffocatingly beautiful posture, that powerful and agile form, all declared the dragon as the noble and unattainable pinnacle of the food chain.
But today,
a dragon-slaying war had come early, so bloodily before the eyes of all.
The Bronze Dragon Knight, Alonso Xiankelai, and the Light Green Sapphire Dragon Knight, Carlo Violet, joined forces to slaughter the Sapphire Dragon Knight, Andrew Sapphire.
Blood scattered across the sky!
“The Sapphire, it’s time to take a bow,” many nobles from the flee of the Eagle Kingdom exclaimed at the bow of their ships.
Some showed a frantic expression: “It should have been this way a long time ago, the flies of Sapphire finally have their day!” The Duchy of Sapphire, with more than one hundred and fifty years since its founding, had issued the Pioneer Mandates for nearly half of that time, pestering the hinterlands of the Eagle Kingdom’s coastline like flies and locusts, looting and pillaging.
One could say that because of the Duchy of Sapphire, vast fertile lands along the coastal areas of the Eagle Kingdom had become lands of wickedness.
Mercenaries were seen everywhere burning, killing, and looting; serf trade was rampant.
Many Landlords had suffered great losses or were forced to take part in these evil deeds, and they could only take blows without returning them. But now, at last, the time for revenge had come; after this dragon-slaying war, it would be the moment for the Knight Order of the Eagle Kingdom to blood-wash every single island of Sapphire.
“The Sapphire Dragon is about to fall; witnessing the death of a dragon, that is the grace of a knight’s glory!”
“Andrew Sapphire, such a resounding name, claimed to be the lord of the boundless seas, he too has this day! Haha!”
“Blood-wash the Sapphire! My spear is already starving for blood!”
The Knights of the Eagle Kingdom were ecstatic, mocking, waiting; everyone was fantasizing about the upcoming bloody banquet of Sapphire, determined to feast to their heart’s content.
In contrast, were the ships of Sapphire.
The knights aboard the ships were pale-faced, with bitterness in their hearts, watching the ongoing dragon-slaying battle in the sky, the increasing wounds of the Sapphire Dragon, and the Grand Duke’s angry roars.
Their beliefs were crumbling bit by bit.
The reason the knights of Sapphire had been able to develop steadily these years was first and foremost due to the advantage of their ships, and secondly, the protection of the Sapphire Dragon.
But now the advantage of ships had been offset; the Eagle Kingdom had actually built such an enormous fleet.
Even more so, the pillar of the Grand Duchy, the Sapphire Dragon, was about to be slain before their very eyes.
Crown Prince Anthony Sapphire felt a chill in his hands and feet.
He stood at the prow of the ship, looking towards the horizon, his voice beginning to tremble, “How could this happen, how could this happen, how could Steel Ridge let the Dragon Knights of the Eagle Kingdom break away from the standoff, what on earth are they doing!”
He knew his father’s plan.
Ever since the Marquis of Bull defected and planned the dragon slaying, the Sapphire Family had anticipated that it was all a conspiracy of the Eagle Kingdom, so they had to make a plan. After paying a sufficient price, they finally made the Grand Duke a Dragon Knight who could once again protect the security of the Grand Duchy.
But they had never imagined that the Eagle Kingdom would make such a bold move, two Dragon Knights!
“Aren’t they afraid of turmoil at the border, Steel Ridge, Blast Furnace Fortress, as well as the two kingdoms to the south, they all border the Eagle Kingdom, and need Dragon Knights to defend the frontiers. How could they possibly dispatch two Dragon Knights to… to a dragon-slaying battle! How dare they do this!”
“Alonso is stationed at the northern border of the Eagle Kingdom, confronting the Steel Ridge Kingdom; Carlo is stationed at the western border, confronting the Blast Furnace Fortress Kingdom. Anthony, I don’t know how they managed to get these two Dragon Knights to withdraw from the front, but it’s already a done deal, what we need to do now is to discuss what to do next,” said Nesta Big Flower Hydrangea, walking over and placing a hand on the Crown Prince’s shoulder, patting it firmly.
The Crown Prince took a deep breath, trying to compose himself, “Uncle, my father will be alright.”
Nesta remained silent for a moment before speaking determinedly, “We are utterly unable to intervene in the Dragon Slaying Battle, no matter what, the outcome is already clear. As the heir to the Sapphire Family, you need to shoulder the responsibilities that belong to you.”
“I…”
“This is not the time to be weak. Once the Dragon Slaying Battle ends, the misfortune of the Sapphires will come upon us… The glory of the knights no longer favors us.”
Anthony struggled to say, “Then what should I do?”
“You must be prepared to make a painful decision.”
“I…”
“Make your decision, the fleet is about to dock. I believe that no matter what you decide, the Grand Duke will not blame you, because you now bear the life and death of the Sapphire Family!” Nesta looked at the Crown Prince with a stern gaze, the Grand Duke’s downfall was a foregone conclusion.
The Crown Prince tried to speak several times, but could not bring himself to voice his thoughts.
However, under Nesta’s intense gaze, he finally gave the difficult order, “Send the message to all fleets, scatter and retreat, abandon Iron Hoof Island…”
But before his words could take effect,
Suddenly, a loud and majestic dragon roar interrupted him.
The Crown Prince, Nesta, and the others all turned their heads towards the source of the sound and saw a burst of flames in the distance above a certain fleet, which then outlined the figure of a dragon. A knight whose form wasn’t clear leapt onto the back of that red and black dragon.

Suddenly it soared into the sky, heading towards the scene of the two-on-one Dragon Slaying Battle.
“That is…”
“Another dragon!”
“My god, another Dragon Knight!”
“The fourth Dragon Knight!”
“It looks like a Fire Dragon!”
“Inconceivable, how did this dragon appear?”
The knights on the ships shouted in surprise, some in astonishment, some in disbelief, some anxious, and some excited. The Crown Prince clenched his fist, his heart a swirl of emotions, “Who is that, who is this Dragon Knight? Is he from the Eagle Kingdom or the Steel Ridge Kingdom, is he here to support us? Who can tell me!”
Nesta’s mouth was agape, rendered speechless.
He could only, like the ordinary knights, crane his neck to watch the not-too-large Fire Dragon, carrying an unidentified knight, quickly rush into the battlefield.
Suddenly,
Someone said, “That Dragon Knight seems to have emerged from the Tulip Family’s fleet!” But this voice was quickly drowned out by the cries of the crowd.
As the Dragon Knight joined the battle, the Bronze Dragon Knight and the Light Green Sapphire Dragon Knight, who had been slaughtering the Sapphire Dragon Knight, were all taken aback—the Dragon Slaying Battle they had meticulously planned did not account for the appearance of a fourth Dragon Knight in such a short time at sea.
Nor was it a Fire Dragon Knight who had never before appeared in any records.
Andrew Sapphire, however, had no time to be stunned and urgently called out in a hoarse voice, “Fire Dragon Knight, please save me!”
Riding on the back of Fire Dragon Leo, activating the Dragon Knight Resonance, Liszt had calmed his agitated emotions, feeling both collected and triumphant.
As a Dragon Knight,
One needed to make an entry in such a grand scene under the watchful eyes of all!
He gripped the Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword tightly, surveyed the three Dragon Knights, and then slowly spoke, “Dragon Knights of the Eagle Kingdom, you can leave now!”
