At the black-clothed girl's gaze, He Ming suddenly calmed down. He was so relieved that he even smiled.
But his right hand was still raised in the air, ready at any time to clench into a fist and order the two thousand black-armored heavy cavalry to attack.
The girl moved her gaze to the still-disorderly cavalry. She seemed to think of something, her brows knitting together.
In a gust of wind, she vanished.
The rest of the wind once more took up the dust rising from Mount Mo and sent it drifting toward the cavalry.
The dust was scattered in the wind, making no shape or form.
Countless milky white rays of light suddenly pierced out, making the dust seem like white gauze.
These rays of divine Qi came from the bows and arrows in the hands of the cavalry.
It was not the divine ballistae concealed in the middle of the cavalry that was their most frightening weapon, but these Sacred Light arrows.
Had the black-clothed girl sensed the Sacred Light arrows and chosen to retreat?
A deputy general came up to He Ming. As he looked toward the direction in which the girl had vanished, he placed his hand on his sword and said, ”Quite the fast reaction.”
There was a clear unwillingness in this comment.
The black-clothed girl had appeared too suddenly and landed too quickly. Neither the true experts within the heavy cavalry nor the array masters had time to react.
In the deputy general's view, if the girl had been just a little slow in leaving or if a similar situation occurred, the black-armored cavalry would definitely have a chance to hold her.
Even though the girl had displayed such terrifying destructive powers.
He Ming gazed silently in the direction the girl vanished.
He did not agree with the deputy general.
The black-armored cavalry had crisscrossed the world and never once tasted failure. They naturally had ways to deal with experts. He was even confident that they could contend with an expert of the Divine Domain for a time. The problem was, if he guessed correctly, that girl just now was not an ordinary expert, but a dragon…
”What? That was a dragon?”
Divine General He Ming's words were so shocking that the deputy general and the surrounding officers found it hard to speak.
He Ming said with a slightly bitter voice, ”Yes, and it should be a Black Frost Dragon.”
The deputy general was even more stunned, and then speechless as he subconsciously grabbed his hair.
If the girl in black really was such a being, then she had not retreated out of fear, but because she was going easy…
Yes, one could have guessed this the moment she landed on the summit of Mount Mo and not launched an assault directly on the cavalry. If she had let the cavalry first enter Mount Mo before she began her assault, this plus the innate pressure she placed on the Dragonhorses would have made the black-armored heavy cavalry suffer almost unbearable casualties, even if they were not completely destroyed.
Since ancient times, the bane of the black-armored cavalry had never been those Divine experts who rode on clouds and remained untouched by the world, but dragons.
It was said that a thousand years ago, when Emperor Taizong was building up the black-armored cavalry, he had developed and even trained them in methods specifically for dealing powerful dragons.
Later on, the agreement sworn on the starry skies meant that dragons no longer stepped forth onto the continent and the world gradually forgot the terror of these high-level beings. The black-armored heavy cavalry had also reached its fourth generation, and those once-practiced methods had long been forgotten on some ancient pile of paper within the Ministry of the Army.
An officer came to his senses and asked, ”A dragon dares to come to the continent? Is she not afraid of being executed by the Divine experts?”
”The current experts of the Divine all have different thoughts. How could they come with a united will to carry out that agreement?”
Divine General He Ming added, ”And when both sides reached that agreement, they forgot about her existence, so her name isn't there.”
The deputy general asked, ”Just who is that black-clothed girl?”
”All of you probably already know. She is the dragon envoy of His Holiness the Pope.”
After a pause, He Ming added, ”She is also that taboo of the Imperial Palace.”
Now that the Tianhai Divine Empress had returned to the sea of stars, many of her secrets were gradually being revealed under the sunlight, and this naturally included the legend of the Black Dragon.
The uneven bulges of the plains seemed like frozen waves of wheat. The black-armored cavalry stood amongst them, not making a single sound.
Suddenly, He Ming made a self-mocking smile, but his eyes turned hard as he ordered, ”Establish the Peerless Turbid Wave Array.”
The black-armored cavalry which was famed for its discipline seemed rather strange at this moment.
The officers looked at him with strange gazes instead of immediately issuing the order.
