Age of Heroes (7)

The famous High Overseer of the Byron Empire once said that the victory of any war is won by the sacrifice of countless people and varying degrees of luck, and sometimes, luck other than manpower is the decisive factor in determining the direction of the war.

The Byronic Empire was not crushed by the defeat of the Hundred Years' War, and when Herutia was caught in the turmoil of civil war and the change of throne, they were still quietly training their soldiers and preparing for this moment. This may be the advantage of having only one emperor - there is no senate in the Byron Empire, the influence of the church has been reduced to a minimum, and only Byron Teres has the highest voice.

They worked so hard that it was later discovered that even the "luck" that decided the course of the war was in their hands.

There was a princess named Angel in the eastern part of Holutia, and His Majesty Byron was told that the young empress was the embodiment of luck.

The Templar had doubts about this.

"If you're really that lucky, why did things get to this point?"

They were above the Iron City, and the roar of the airships was endless. Things went according to their plan, but if the little girl in front of him was really the embodiment of Lady Luck, why did it fall into their hands so easily......? The Horrutian League's ignorance of Princess Angel's power had made the defenses in the east so weak that he had left the daunting task alone before they had time to make their men hidden above the clouds.

Questioning, the Templars became a little flustered.

What he meant was that, apart from the "difficult" battle between Zero and him, all he could do was use his seal to blend in with the crowd, then approach Angel while there was no one around, and use steel as a threat to coerce Angel into boarding their airship.

They must make sure Angel is alive and that a dead lady of luck has no value at all.

The only difficulty with this plan was that they had to disguise themselves as elsewhere to convince the Senate that it was only a small group of troops led by two Templars who were attacking the east. The defense force of Steel City is not to be feared, and what really makes them cautious is the movement of the Senate.

Only after Angel had completely surrendered to the Byronic Empire could they officially go to war with the Senate.

"Is that the army that will take you?" asked Angel.

She tried to make herself appear calmer.

They threatened that they had dispatched a total of five Templars, and that they had the power to flatten the entire Iron City in an instant, and the only reason they didn't do so was because she was still useful.

"Of course, five empty ships, three hundred well-trained elite knights......"

The Templars turned proudly and tried to give Angel the strength of the Byronic Empire's military might. Then his words came to an abrupt end, and the airship they were riding in approached the clouds, through the clouds, only to find that the giant shadow behind the clouds was not the lined up Byronic Empire's air army, but a pair of dragonheads.

It was a real dragon, and the people of the Byronic Empire had only seen poets describe dragons in books.

To make matters worse, the dragon didn't seem to be very kind to him.

The sharp dragon claws slammed into the empty boat, causing a violent vibration, and those who lacked concentration were directly lifted off the board. The airship was a toy in front of the dragon, its claws easily embedded in the steel deck of the airship, and the airship tilted halfway. The soldiers who woke up from their dreams went on the offensive, but their attacks tickled the dragon.

"Brother......" Angel couldn't help but murmur - she had seen this yellow-brown dragon before, when Lin Qiu and the others were fighting with her brother!

"Brother!?"

The Templars were incredulous, as the dragon was not human-like in terms of size or appearance. And even under such a violent bump, Princess Angel miraculously sat on a pile of goods unscathed. He began to believe in some rumors that Angel was the embodiment of Lady Luck.

How lucky is a human to have a dragon as a brother?

Then he heard the dragon speak.

"How dare you touch the minus of the East?" said a voice full of anger, so human that the Templars felt like they were hallucinating.

It's not fair!

How is it possible for humans to fight dragons?

"Boom-"

The loud roar of the energy weapon interrupted the gaze of one man and one dragon, and the scorching white beam instantly pierced the dragon's wing membrane, leaving a shocking hole. The dragon staggered, and the Byron Empire's crew took advantage of the situation to break free of the dragon's front paws, and quickly moved to distance themselves from the dragon.

Energy weapons were followed by five well-equipped airships.

The crystals on the edge of the airship are grayish-black, which is what happens after a charge is completed.

Even in the face of a dragon, the crew of the airship did not panic, and under the captain's orders, they quickly carried out a second round of recharge—the wing membrane was one of the weakest spots on the dragon's body, and it was also the most fatal weakness for the dragons known as the sky lords.

With just one other wing, the dragon will plummet straight into the steel city. The only challenge is to block the dragon's furious attack before it can be recharged...... However, there were still five Templars on board these five airships, and an attack by the dragon was no problem!

......

Ground.

"Not even the dragon can save the day, it will never be able to handle five Templars!" the captured Byronic Templar laughed as if he had received a 30 gold envelope.

The villagers on the side stared nervously at the clouds, the dragon and the five empty ships looming in the clouds, they could not see the details of the fierce battle in the air, but judging from the sudden rain of blood, the situation did not seem to be good. Hijacked Princess Angel's airboat, and after breaking free from the dragon's clamps, quickly sailed towards the airship group.

"You don't seem to have understood that the meaning of this war is not about winning or losing, as long as you get Princess Angel, it is equivalent to winning the overall situation. Lin Qiu's relaxed expression made the Templars a little unhappy, and he couldn't help but remind the other party of the "nervousness" of the battle.

"You've been laughing alone for five minutes, it can't be a stroke, right?" Lin Qiu looked at him with sympathy.

That's not your fault!

Why don't you see me laughing, so you can give me a reaction! I'm almost paralyzed when I keep smiling!

The Templar cursed secretly, he had been holding a scorn for several minutes so that Lin Qiu could immediately see his "contemptuous" smile when he turned his head.

"Ophelia, Angel will leave it to you. ”

Ophelia nodded, and vanished completely under the horrified gaze of the Templars.

This ability ...... It's exactly the same way the black-robed man transported them here!

"A message for you......"

As he spoke, Lin Qiu stretched out his right hand to the Byron Empire airship group in the air: "There is also a difference between the Templars and the Templars, because this title has reached the top, so we have to mix it up with you." ”

At the same time, the sky in Lin Qiu's eyes had been replaced by a black and white interlaced line—this was how Bai Guji used the engraving for his popular science.

The next moment, he tore several white lines down.

"Come down. ”
