Chapter 37: The White Dragon Raid
"Today is the first time I've heard you explain these things to me, Uncle Geraint! Joshua glanced at Geraint, "I don't remember anything from six years ago, but you didn't help me remember anything from six years ago. ”
"When the time comes, you'll be able to recall something!" Gerante sighed.
"By the way, Uncle Geraint, since Uncle Haig said that you were once the first knight of the Golden Dragon Knights, then you must also have a very high level of fighting spirit, right?" asked Joshua.
"Now I only have the level of junior silver, and like your Uncle Haig, I am a man with the fighting spirit of the Golden Knight level!" Geraint smiled as he touched Joshua's head.
"Do I have any hope of learning to be vindictive?" asked Joshua.
"It's hard to say, everyone has the potential to inspire vindictiveness, but there are also people who may not be able to inspire it in their lifetime. Geraint explained, "Like the White Dragon Knights we are going to face this time, there must be quite a few people who have mastered the fighting spirit. The Kok and Mai Lun you introduced for me last time are also people with a fighting spirit close to the bronze level! So you better stay at home and not get involved in this war. In fact, Geraint knew in his heart that there was great potential in Joshua's body.
"I don't, Uncle Geraint! I have to do something for everybody. Joshua yelled as he pestered Geraint.
"Well, seeing that you're so aggressive, I'll assign you to patrol the green mud shoals!" Gerante looked at Joshua, who was eager to try, and came up with an idea.
"I'm not! It's so far away from the battlefield that I don't even have a chance to see the battle. Joshua shook his head.
"Obedient Joshua, fighting a war is not a joke, and it is also a very important errand to keep an eye on the rear for us. Geraint glared at Joshua.
"Kid, if you're going to fight with us, you're a member of our Wings of Freedom. Since I have appointed your Uncle Geraint as commander-in-chief, you as a soldier must obey the commander's arrangement. At this time, Haig also spoke, "I will send a few Jungle Ranger to protect you in secret!"
"Alright, then I'll leave him at his disposal and go to the green mud shoals!" Joshua reluctantly accepted.
"Joshua, take care of yourself when I'm not with you. Geraint stroked Joshua's head again and left with the rest of the army.
Old mage Pyne also followed the large army: "Commander-in-Chief Geraint, I feel some kind of special liliang from you!"
"You're talking about vindictiveness, Mr. Pine?" Gerantt responded.
"No, anything other than fighting energy!" Pine said with a smile, "You used to be the first knight of the Golden Dragon Knights, I believe you actually have the fighting spirit of the Golden Knight for a long time, right?"
"I don't know much about that, because usually when I'm fighting, I rarely need to raise my fighting spirit to that high level!" Jaylant replied. But at this time, he recalled the fighting spirit that burst out with all his strength in the battle with Bolton.
"But I still have a vague feeling that there seems to be some trace of the dark element affecting you in your body. They are the main culprits that prevent the liliang in your body from being fully utilized. Pyne immediately sensed the hidden danger left by Geraint's attack by dark magic, "It's a pity that I can't solve this thing, if only Master Iliad were here!"
"Mr. Pine, do you mean the legendary god of wind, Mistress Eliad Ekka?" a familiar feeling felt when Geraint heard the name.
"I didn't think you knew Mistress Eliad's name!" Pyne laughed.
"I heard that Lord Iliad used to be the chief archmage of the kingdom of Reims. It was only after he returned home that Parsa inherited the position!" Geraint recalled.
"When this battle is over, I'll take you to meet him if I have the chance. Maybe something will turn around with your injury!" Pyne said as he followed Geraint to the burning block.
On the other side, Joshua reluctantly made his way to the green mud shoal. The Green Mud Shoal is located on the southern shore of Mallory Island, a long way from the Broken Mao Harbour located northwest of the island. If the warriors of the Wings of Liberty were able to withstand the White Dragon Knights' onslaught near the harbor, Joshua would have been virtually out of the fight. With a sense of loss, Joshua began to "patrol" the green mud shoals.
"Everyone was sent to the front, and I had nothing to do alone. And it's boring to transfer me to this quagmire, so far from the front line!" Joshua grumbled as he walked by the shallows. As Joshua passed by the shore, he suddenly noticed several familiar figures flashing by.
"Huh, I don't think there's a figure passing by!" Joshua became alert, and hid behind a low tree on the edge of the quagmire, and began to observe the situation.
"Needless to say, because I saw it too!" Suddenly, Joshua heard someone talking next to him.
"Huh, how do I hear someone talking to me! It can't be the forest rangers, right?" Joshua turned his head around but couldn't find anyone talking, "but it stands to reason that the forest rangers are women, how can they make a man's voice?"
"Hey, man, where are you looking? I'm right in front of you!" Suddenly the low tree where Joshua was hiding suddenly moved, and it tapped Joshua on the shoulder with its own branch.
"Oh my god, why do even the trees on the island speak?" Joshua was startled by the sudden arrival of the tree.
"What a fuss. I'm the lovely dryad on Craigie Island, and a good friend of Lord Haig!" the tree whispered, "I saw those people going ahead just now, I can take you there, you remember to hide!"
"Haha, you're so funny!" said Joshua, following behind the Craigie Dryad, stinking in the direction where the figure flashed. He noticed that several suspicious figures had appeared in the green mud shoal.
"I recognize this dress, they're the Shadow Female Assassin of the White Dragon Knights last time. Joshua said to himself, "I always like to have bare thighs and I'm not afraid of freezing." This time, they seem to have brought some other helpers with them. These people with white hair and bows and arrows are also strange!" It turned out that the Shadow Assassins and Green Archers of the White Dragon Knights appeared in Joshua's patrol area.
"Well, there seems to be someone here?" Suddenly, a shadow assassin seemed to sense that someone was watching them, and immediately became alert.
"Oh no, it's going to be discovered!" Joshua saw that the situation was not good, and quickly curled up in a ball and hid behind the Craigie Dryad. And the dryad immediately changed back to the form of a dwarf tree.
"There's no one, there's only a few dwarf trees here!" said one of the Green Archers, looking around.
"Looks like I'm overthinking. We've surveyed the terrain here, so let's follow Lord Reims's jihua!" the shadow assassin led the group back to shore.
"How are you observing?" Suddenly, two fishmen burst out of the water on the shore, each with a short knife and a fork in their hands. They are the Fish-People of the Knights of the Blue Dragon, the Ghost of the Water Spirits, and the Fishmen of the Surface Raiders.
"Lord Charles is right. There is indeed a river leading to the interior of Mallory Island, and the width of the channel is that warships can pass through!" the Shadow Assassin replied.
"Great, when the time comes, the warships of our Blue Dragon Knights will be able to quickly take down Duanmao Harbor and several other military fortresses on the island. The fish-man laughed.
"The Demolition Force's ship is about to arrive, isn't it?" the Shadow Assassin asked.
"Yes, it won't be long before the ships loaded with gunpowder will be here, and the enemy will be caught off guard by then, haha!" shouted the surface raider.
"Hmph, so they want to use this quagmire to sneak up on us from behind!" Joshua heard the enemy's intentions clearly, "But this is a bit far from the front line, and it will be too late for me to inform Uncle Geraint, what can I do?"
"Well, no matter, let's get rid of these guys first!" Joshua thought for a moment, then patted the dryad's body and asked, "Do you have any accomplices here?"
"What do you want to do, buddy?" the dryad opened his eyes, "don't beat our minds, those guys look so good that I'm not going to provoke them." ”
"Then I can't help it!" Joshua whistled loudly, the way Haig had taught him to call to the Jungle Ranger.
"Oh no, there's an ambush here!" the crowd who heard the whistle suddenly became nervous.
