Okaglar Battle (7)

"By Tempus, can this thing be considered Paladin?"

Maxi Stewart's expression immediately turned serious, and sweat beaded on his hands as he gripped the spear—for he could tell that it was an enemy similar to theirs, or even stronger in some ways.

And soon, he spotted a familiar face in the group.

"Freed?"

"That damned bastard! He really is a bastard from the orphanage! The son of a prostitute!"

"You are the ' Black Lion Knight ' personally bestowed by Grand Duke Leo. How dare you, with your lowly status, accept such a great favor and become a servant of an evil dragon!"

Maxi roared.

"I will personally end your traitorous act! I will cleanse the Lionheart Knight Order!"

Freed merely chuckled coldly and replied in a low voice, "I am no longer the so-called ' Black Lion Knight.' I am now an instructor of the Dragonkin Temple. As for whether you can end this traitor's life, that depends on whether you can defeat my students."

The "Golden Lion Knight," Maxi Stewart, had not made a good impression on Freed. Born into a noble family, he often humiliated Fried and Tarick by referring to their lineage, calling them "the children of a whore." Fried had fantasized several times about killing this arrogant fellow, and now was the perfect opportunity.

"Lowly?"

"You hypocritical Northern Nobles are the most despicable beasts!"

Anthony roared and pointed his burning sword at Maxi.

The other man's sanctimonious appearance and his genuine contempt for commoners reminded him of Baron Solly from years ago.

As the leader of the Dragon Oath Paladin, he also needs to set a certain example.

"We are followers of the great Embers of the Burned King, and we possess the immense power bestowed upon us by His Majesty. These scum of the the North are utterly insignificant before the Great Red Dragon and his blueprint!"

"Dragonkin Paladin, heed my command!"

"Dragon Vein Link!"

Anthony raised his longsword and used his Channel Dragon Power to create Dragon Vein Chain, linking them with the other Dragon Oath Paladin. These chains not only shared the damage they suffered but also inflicted burns on their enemies.

The scorching red chains will emit flames, making the surrounding battlefield restless and agitated.

"That is the power of the dragon, and they are the dragon's loyal servants!"

"But my friends, we Lionheart Knight are servants of the gods, followers of Lord Leo, and an invincible legion of the the North for thousands of years."

"In the glorious history of the Lionheart Knight Order, we have slain countless wicked dragons, and now we face only the dragon's retinue. We will not be afraid in the slightest!"

"Charge!"

Maxi and Anthony shouted almost simultaneously.

And so, the two immense forces collided, flames and light intertwined, and roars and wails filled the air.

Although it was only a war involving a few hundred people, the powerful professional legions carefully cultivated by both sides created a force that was no less imposing than a melee of ten thousand people, and even more destructive. Players were not even able to participate in it.

"Dragon!"

"That's a dragon! How is that possible!"

"How terrifying."

In the instant the legions clashed, many Lionheart Knight instinctively trembled, some even losing their grip on their weapons.

In the darkness, they seemed to see a terrifying vision of a giant dragon, its gaping maw about to devour them.

That is the Dragon Majesty.

The Dragonkin Paladin in the army Channel Dragon Power to display terrifying majesty, causing the enemy to tremble in Fearful Tremors.

However, the battle-hardened Maxi was not intimidated by the illusion and the dragon's might. Instead, he roared like a lion, deliberately reminding his Lionheart Knight.

"Those are all fake!"

"Gentlemen, we are the Lionheart Knight! Even if the evil dragon himself comes, we will bravely face him!"

Thanks to Maxi's efforts, most of the Lionheart Knight snapped out of their fear and returned to the fight.

The Dragonkin Paladin, having been established for only a few years, were generally less experienced and less Class Level than the Lionheart Knight. However, thanks to their fiery dragon veins and the powerful abilities bestowed upon them by Keosius, they managed to outmaneuver the Lionheart Knight Order.

[Blazing Aura]

When not weakened, the Dragonkin Paladin continuously emits Blazing Aura. This aura causes a rapid increase in surrounding temperature, boosts fire damage, inflicts burn on enemies, and grants allies a stimulating effect.

When a sufficient number of Dragonkin Paladin simultaneously emit Blazing Aura, it can even trigger a volcanic eruption.

Now, with one hundred Dragonkin Paladin fighting side by side, their spiritual light has generated an extremely terrifying power.

The surrounding air was scorching and distorted, like being in the crater of a volcano in the sweltering summer. Even the snow on the wasteland had melted, and water vapor kept rising from the exposed dry ground, making the battlefield shrouded in mist and even more chaotic and disorderly.

The swirling flames caused the Lionheart Knight to wail in agony, and even their silver shields turned red-hot under the intense heat, with molten silver trickling down their sides.

"It's so hot!"

"I'm about to lose my grip on my weapon, damn it!"

"Tempus above me, my shield is melting!"

"Is this the power of the evil dragon? The Embers of the Burned King?"

Maxi stood at the front of the line, braving the scorching flames. With his strong physique and superb combat skills, he repeatedly repelled the enemies in front of him, but his body was already soaked in sweat and he was becoming increasingly weak.

Even a powerful figure like the "Golden Lion Knight," a level 14 national master-level professional, cannot sustain high-intensity combat in such a high-temperature environment, let alone the other Lionheart Knight.

"We can't let this go on, or we'll all die from the heat!"

"We must launch a counterattack and end this battle as soon as possible!"

Maxi gritted his teeth, knocked down the Dragonkin Paladin in front of him again, and raised the lion banner in his hand.

"Lion Guardian!"

The "Golden Lion Knight" let out a majestic roar.

The Lionheart Knight Order unleashed their ultimate weapon: 120 seasoned Lionheart Knight, empowered by their sacred oath, rallied their unwavering loyalty and will to summon the radiant spirit of a lion, launching a fierce and overwhelming attack on the enemy.

"Roar—"

With a roar that shook the wasteland, a gigantic phantom of a lion, five meters tall at the shoulder, emerged from the tight formation of the Lionheart Knight.

It roared and howled like a real lion, its muscles taut and sharp claws extended from its paws, as if it were about to pounce and tear its enemy to pieces at any moment.

That is the lofty symbol of the Bosk Family for thousands of years, and the embodiment of the spirit of the Lionheart Knight!

One chapter left, I don't know if I can finish writing it. The main character should be appearing soon.
