The city guards on the walls raised their chins slightly. They had heard of the Wolf Cavalry Legion long ago, and after clashing with them today, they hadn't felt much pressure. Rumors couldn't always be trusted.
Prince Wei sat on the city wall, a hint of disappointment in his eyes. He had waited too long for an opponent, but the battle before him had already failed to stir much interest in him.
Just as the city guard troops prepared to throw a second volley of war spears, a huge black shadow plunged straight down from the sky.
The black shadow first broke through the clouds, then, relying on the force of its flapping wings and its own weight, plummeted toward the city wall ahead.
Seeing this, a captain on the wall raised one arm and made a simple yet forceful gesture.
As soon as the captain's order was given, the flag bearers on the watchtowers swung their battle standards sideways. The neat clatter of armor rang out as the city guards raised their war spears, preparing to shoot the black shadow down from the sky.
With a boom, a burst of wind pressure spread out. Barbatos, which had been diving straight downward, suddenly spread its wings. Its momentum was so great that the bones within its wings creaked.
Barbatos came to an abrupt stop a hundred meters above the wall. It had already gathered its dragonflame, and with a whoosh, it spewed the flames toward the city wall.
A series of crisp crackling sounds spread out. The city guards caught in the dragonflame wailed as their armor melted and their bodies rapidly turned to ash. Barbatos only excelled at spewing dragonflame. Its abilities seemed limited, but the more focused an ability was, the more powerful it became.
"Throw at once!"
