The enemy is a dragon.

It's a knight on the dragon's back... um, a knight.

A signature creature in fantasy stories, the embodiment of your mother and destruction, born powerful.

They are kidnappers, murderers and robbers, and also victims of murderers and robbers; greedy people, experience gift packs, classic mounts, mobile resource libraries; after transformation, they can become [beep--] and the like.

It is also the ruler of the sky.

The most powerful creature in the heavens.

It's a dragon.

I finally saw the dragon from the fantasy story.

And he was sitting in a fighter jet.

As a child, Kang De dreamed of becoming a pilot. Of course, that was just a childhood dream. Children's horizons and knowledge are very limited. He wanted to become a pilot simply because he thought it was cool.

As I grew up, I realized that joining the army was tough, the training was arduous, and they might not even accept me.

But the dream of piloting powerful weapons and flying through the sky or into space persisted even after he grew up.

Because he's just so damn handsome.

The instrument panel turned, the indicator lights flashed, the wings swayed, and in the cockpit, only his own breathing could be heard, clear and calm. Outside the porthole, the sky and earth met at the horizon, and below, smoke and fire rose everywhere. He soared across the sky.

A year ago, Kang De could never have imagined that he would one day be able to pilot a fighter jet ahead of its time, soaring through the skies, nor could he have imagined that his enemy would be a dragon, Dragon Knight.

My first time piloting a fighter jet in aerial combat, my first encounter with a dragon from fantasy legends—two passions fulfilled together, two joys combined—it was a dreamlike experience that no one could shake...

The dragon, flapping its wings and charging forward, was equally fast. Kang De stared intently and saw an elf riding on its back, one hand on the saddle, the other holding a staff, her eyes like lightning, her robes fluttering.

Hmph, Zhen Zhibing.

The fighter jet swerved sideways, Horus was also observing the formidable enemy. It was clear that such a large creature could not be killed by a sonic boom, and it was devising a battle plan.

Kang De asked, "How is it?"

"Judging by visual inspection, the top speed is about 800 kilometers per hour, roughly the level of late World War II fighter jets," Iron Son replied in a deep voice. "Not bad."

"Be careful," Kang De said. "This one is definitely not as easy to deal with as the previous ones."

Horus said, "Then let's give it a try."

Kang De looked down and said, "Avoid residential areas and densely populated areas."

"Received, looking for a suitable area -- how about there?"

An indicator arrow appeared on the cockpit canopy, marking the location. Kang De looked up and saw a vast open space and hills beyond a magnificent spire. Kang De nodded and said, "Alright."

Just then, a voice came through the walkie-talkie. "Kang De, two more Dragon Knight are chasing after you. In addition, all the elven air force, including the mages, have also left the battlefield and are closing in."

It's Hilmeria.

Kang De said, "I understand. The elves are brave, but not stupid. They dare to surround us now, so they probably already have a means of retaliation... or what they believe to be a means of retaliation."

"It's good that you understand."

"Rest assured."

The fighter jet vibrates, and the vectoring nozzles engage afterburner.

Like two warriors locked in a standoff, the fighter jets and the giant dragon circled the arena. Horus had already determined the attack positions and tactics, and the sensors had also pinpointed the locations of the remaining enemies. The aircraft accelerated.

A sonic boom roared.

This time, there was no need for a sonic boom to counter the enemy. The turbofan engine immediately accelerated to supersonic mode. Only those who faced it head-on knew just how immense the pressure and impact of a monster that could break the sound barrier and accelerate to Mach 1.2 in just over ten seconds was. Its roaring sound was even louder than a dragon's roar.

"Stay calm!"

The Dragon Knight who faced the enemy head-on were more like Dragon Knight mages than dragon knights.

Like most male elves, he also possesses a physique so robust that he could easily wield Warhammer to crack open someone's head, in order to overcome the immense pressure exerted on his body by the dragon's rapid flight.

There are many elves like him who receive rigorous training and upbringing from a young age. Their courses and training programs are very different from those of ordinary academic mages. In addition to practicing magic such as meditation and construction, they also have to persevere in various targeted physical strength and balance training.

At the same time, it is also necessary to master spell skills that mainstream mages do not need to master, such as a series of spells that enhance personal physical attributes, detection spells used to gain various visual advantages and quickly obtain battlefield intelligence, and fast-kill precision tracking spells that can be cast stably and quickly even in high-speed flight, as well as large-area suppression spells.

His role is to assist the dragon companions in battle, assess the battlefield situation, communicate with the rear, confirm targets, provide status buffs to the dragons, and use spells to clear out mobs.

But his most important value and mission is to gain the favor of his dragon companions.

It's not just about appearance and physique; he also needs a rich and interesting soul. This requires an entire team of makeup and costume designers, scholars, and social staff to create a customized image for him and analyze the mindset and preferences of his dragon companions.

These courses, projects, and proposals have only one purpose.

That means making him an even better sycophant.

Even so, other elves wouldn't have the chance to lick it.

Many elven mages who undergo this training will undergo a final test, and only those with the highest compatibility with dragons will become Dragon Knight soaring through the sky. They will become the ultimate cool and stylish unit, combining romance, legend, and coolness, and will be a trump card with both intimidation and destructive power.

The elite units, painstakingly built with enormous military spending, are not just for show.

In fact, with the further improvement and enhancement of the Elven military strength and war system in recent years, the army has been constantly questioning the practicality and combat effectiveness of the Dragon Knight unit. This has put great pressure on the traditional Dragon Knight unit, and it has even been sent to the small battlefield of Goth.

But today, the Dragon Knight soaring through the sky is filled with excitement. Under the commander's special tactics, he realizes that Dragon Knight will play an extremely important role in future wars!

Upon thinking of this, the elven knight riding the red dragon revealed an excited expression. Although the unexpected guest made him realize that there was some kind of ominous crisis, because the alchemical weapon was too fast, it did not mean that he was afraid. How could Dragon Knight be afraid!

"Hold on! We will make our mark here!"

How could I possibly be afraid?

Behind them was the support of the entire Elf Expeditionary Force.

A mere alchemical weapon!

He gripped the dragon saddle, tightened his grip on the staff, and felt a surge of powerful magic coursing through his body.

While this swift aircraft was wreaking havoc, the staff had already quickly gathered intelligence, and the highly experienced staff officers immediately proposed countermeasures.

"If it uses sound waves to kill the enemy, then we'll use sonic defense; if it's extremely fast, then... let it crash into us!"

With the same bow and arrow, is it more effective against a stationary target or a target moving at high speed?

Even a little elf like me understands this principle!

"Stay calm!"

He reassured his comrades once more, and the dragon responded with a roar. The Magic Power of the elves and the dragon resonated to some extent through the amplification of the special magic device, greatly increasing the effectiveness of their spells. The tactics had already been discussed, and the dragon flapped its wings to meet the charging steel giant bird.

"Now!"

With a wave of the staff, a deep blue magic circle unfolded.

In an instant, the area became a prison of ice. Between the dragon and the iron wings, ice flowers fell from the sky, scattering into a domain of ice spikes. Countless tiny but sharp ice cones were scattered along the path of the alchemical weapon. At the speed of the enemy, it would collide head-on with this rain of ice spikes in just a few seconds!

The dragon roared proudly, changed direction, and gathered its breath. If the opponent was injured or fell directly, the destructive dragon breath would immediately replenish itself.

But the next moment, the Dragon Knight saw a light flash across the opposite side, as if something had streaked across the sky and was flying towards him. The next moment, a black light flashed, and the alchemical weapon disappeared from the spot.

--Then they crossed the ice layer and teleported to a closer distance!

With the aid of his superb vision and magic, he clearly saw the enemy approaching from the sky. The weapon had a mesmerizing beauty and gleamed with a cold light. Behind the transparent shield sat a black-haired Cathayan. He was slightly taken aback, then saw something hanging under the wing and falling down.

Then it flew towards this direction at an even faster speed.

In an instant, they had already swept up to them.

How incredibly fast is a speed of Mach 2.5?

In an instant, the laser proximity fuse activated, and the AIM-9X air-to-air missile exploded immediately. The four-kilogram WDU-17/B ring-shaped fragmentation warhead was instantly expanded to its maximum size by the shockwave of the explosion. The metal ring-shaped cutting net composed of 200 titanium rods was even enchanted. With the support of the super-speed, it was like an indestructible divine sword, instantly slicing through the bodies of the dragon and the Dragon Knight who were accelerating to dodge!

And there are two of them.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. The Dragon Knight didn't even have time to deploy his magic shield. His minimal windproof shield and light armor were completely useless. He blinked, and then his upper body slid down at an angle.

The dragon roared in anguish, its blood splattering as it tore into several pieces in mid-air and plummeted to the ground.

In an instant, the outcome was decided.

The spectators had almost no idea what had happened! All they knew was that in the blink of an eye, the powerful dragon was sliced to pieces in mid-air—it was like a dream!

They even forgot to cheer.

"What happened!"

An angry dragon's roar echoed from afar!

The elves, however, were filled with shock and rage. The dragons were furious at the death of their kin, while the elves were incredulous that such a powerful Dragon Knight had fallen in an instant. What on earth had happened?!

"Kill him!"

During the previous standoff and clash, another dragon charged from the five o'clock direction, its beams of light shooting straight out and shards of ice filling the sky. It also blocked the fighter jet's path, its dragon breath shooting out from behind. The nearby mages flew over to provide joint support, and the Dragon Knight let out an angry roar!

Horus raised the nose of his aircraft.

The aircraft climbed upwards at a high angle, quickly entered a stall state, adjusted the position of the vectoring nozzles, and Transformers rotated around the velocity vector, performing a 180-degree turn with a very small angle. The high thrust-to-weight ratio engine violently restarted, and the conversion of kinetic energy to potential energy to kinetic energy was completed. In an instant, the aircraft completed the turn and charged head-on towards the pursuing dragon!

Two France -made MICA air-to-air missiles were launched!

Two-stage solid rocket motors propelled the three-meter-long missile through the air. Even though the Dragon Knight immediately attempted to evade and flip, the Mach 3 terminal attack was not something the dragon could avoid. Under Horus's control, radio guidance corrections guided the missile to hit the target. The twelve-kilogram explosive charge and pre-fragmented fragments roared and bloomed in the air like Flame!

The dragon fell, and a rain of dragon blood fell from the sky.

The second one.

The Goth People watching from below the city had gone mad.

Of course, the elves went mad too.

The enormous loss was not just a loss, but a disgrace! The last Dragon Knight, along with the remaining mages and sky knights, flew into a rage, unleashing a network of ice spikes across the sky in all directions. Thunder roared in the heavens, and magical reinforcements and spellcasting attacks from all sides rushed towards them!

"We've run out of air-to-air missiles," Kang De said. "Back to resupply?"

Just in case, they only carried four air-to-air missiles—mainly because the France and United States didn't carry many either. After all, it was a ground attack mission, and the air power balance between the two sides was extremely unbalanced. In theory, they didn't need to carry any air-to-air missiles, but they still wanted to be on the safe side.

Horus thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, I must say these elves react very quickly, knowing how to use spells for static interception... We should take advantage of our distance and speed."

"Then fire another shot, aiming into the sky. There's nowhere in the air to anchor."

Teleport back to the White Mist World to replenish missiles.

Then leave this dangerous airspace and fly kites to death those pointy-eared creatures.

Just as Kang De was about to activate his ability to leave, magical light suddenly rose from below, and beams of light shot into the sky, dissolving the net laid by the elven mages. Mage towers throughout the city also intercepted large-scale ranged spells attacking from outside the city. This was reinforcements from Danfeng Lucerne!

The Archduke's voice came through the walkie-talkie. "Mr. Kang De, the Goth People stand shoulder to shoulder with you."

"Thanks."

Kang De said, "Where does my spell support come from? It seems a bit different from that of the mage tower."

"Let me see... It's Saint Covelo University, the highest institution of learning in Danfeng Lucerne. This is magical support from the faculty and students. Tina's second sister, Stella, is a lecturer here, so it might be from her organization."

The Grand Duke's voice carried a hint of amusement.

It turns out to be my second sister-in-law.

In a flash, Kang De looked at the enemy formation rushing towards him. They had clearly discovered that the fighters had limited payload and intended to overwhelm him with numbers. At the same time, Horus spoke.

"Father, I have a bold idea," it said. "Let's not return to the White Mist World first; it's rare for them to be together—want some excitement?"

Kang De smiled and said, "Alright."

"Then put on your helmet."

Kang De picked up the multi-functional helmet-mounted sight of the fighter pilot that was placed to the side. The mirror in front of him, like Google Glass, projected various information and dots of light.

Military technology always leads civilian technology.

What should I do?

"Pulling the joystick is firing, Father. I'll assist you with aiming. It will require your time acceleration, rapid enchanting abilities, and telepathic abilities... Are you ready?"

Horus briefly described his plan in concise language.

OK.

"Let's begin!"

The fighter jet climbed rapidly, performing a tail-dive maneuver. As it reached the peak of its vertical climb, its vertical speed dropped to zero. The magnificent war machine, like an aerial ballerina, adjusted its elegant posture, using the vector nozzle as an axis to turn its nose horizontally, rotating 360 degrees around its tail like the hands of a clock.

The 30mm GIAT aircraft cannon was pointed at the enemies closing in from all directions.

A dazzling golden dial lit up in Kang De's eyes.

Time accelerates.

The other eye interprets the profound laws of space.

When a shell hits its target, isn't that simply a result of time and space?

Tacitus's power also enhanced his perception and understanding of time and space. Horus's superb calculation ability allowed him to determine the distance, bullet speed, and wind direction. Kang De's mental power extended, imbuing the machine gun shells with magical power, and also capturing that instant of lightning, pulling the control stick.

After internal structural adjustments by the Iron Son, this is the trigger.

The shooting feel is similar to that of a lever-action rifle.

Fire! Fire! Fire!

Kang De kept pulling the control stick, and the fighter jet turned 360 degrees across the airspace, like a fairy scattering flowers.

The machine gun adjusted its position and fired continuously in the adjusted three-round burst mode. Thirty-millimeter machine gun shells swept across the sky and struck the enemies who had no time to react. In an instant, blood blossomed, and the flesh and blood of mages, eagles, pegasus riders, and even knights exploded in the air and fell to the ground!

Then, the vectoring nozzles accelerate.

In the blink of an eye, the fighter jets that had been shooting down the surrounding enemies turned around, accelerated again, and charged straight toward the last enemy, the last Dragon Knight. Although all the air-to-air missiles had been used up, the machine guns hummed, and brilliant streaks of light streaked across the sky as they fired densely at the dragon in the sky!

Armor-piercing, burning, exploding!

The power of the cannon was ultimately inferior to that of the air-to-air missile. The Dragon Knight and the dragon sensed the approach of death and desperately raised their shields to dodge in all directions. The shields shook violently, but they had their limits. Under the barrage of bombs, they trembled and eventually shattered. The dragon roared in pain, and the fighter jets had already rushed in front of them. The dragon roared furiously, and its scorching dragon breath spewed out fiercely!

But the sound of metal clashing echoed through the sky.

The dragon and the knight looked incredulous, for the steel wings that were charging at high speed disintegrated and reassembled in an instant. During the high-speed sprint, countless parts vibrated and intertwined, and the complex and shocking internal structure roared and transmitted. In an instant, the terrifying steel wings revealed human form!

It raised its massive tower shield, and effortlessly drew a colossal axe with trembling blades from its back. Its wings unfurled, spewing forth torrents of blazing flames that propelled it forward. The shield parted the fierce dragon breath, and intense light and heat poured forth in all directions. Its Man of Steel swept across the battlefield, wielding the giant axe—

One axe blow!
