Chapter 583 Thundering Heavens
“Aooo…”
Beside me, the Ancient Heavenly Tiger nudged my hand with its soft head as though trying to comfort me.
“Sha sha….”
I could hear a pair of leather shoes trudging through the snow behind me. Wan Er placed her hand on my shoulder, “Alright, it’s over… it’s really over… “
I suddenly grabbed the broken Severing Beauty sword that lay beside me. It was covered inFrost’s blood. When I thought of her smile, tears quickly welled up in my eyes.
……
The Dragon City Wall was a wretched scene. The walls had been sliced in half by Igoras’ slash. Almost all of the Ba Huang City soldiers that were on the city walls had died and blood dyed the ground. Angela was kneeling among the ruins. She glanced at Su Ke, Da Lin and the other Dragon City generals’ bodies and began to cry. Her shoulders shook, “Why…. why would it turn out like this. Brother, why would he betray the humans? He said that he would fight for the dignity of all humans until the very end….”
On the side, a young general softly said, “Your highness, we…. We should retreat. The Hybrid Demons will definitely attack again. At that point, we won’t be able to stand against their slaughter….”
Right at that moment, we suddenly heard the sounds of war drums coming from the south. In the distance, we could see an enormous army with battle flags waving in the sky. They all wore a fiery red armor. Furthermore, at the front, a 30 year old commander raised his long sword. He looked up at Dragon City and let out a sigh, “F*ck, we came late. Dragon City has already fallen….. Luo Lin, Frost, they haven’t all died, have they?”
On the city wall, Angela slowly stood up. The soldier beside her, “Your highness, that… that’s the Tian Ling Empire Army. Prince Theodore has personally led the Flame Dragon Army here, Tian Ling Empire’s strongest….”
Angela’s eyes were filled with despair, “So what? They’re just here to split up Ba Huang City’s territory… Father and Brother are all gone, and with that, Ba Huang City’s power…”
“Your highness, then… then what should we do?”
“Have the entire army retreat to a camp outside of Ba Huang City. We must protect the capital!”
“Yes, your highness!”
……
“Sha sha….”
Wan Er carefully helped me up. As I glanced at my surroundings, my heart ached at the sight around me. The old magnificent and stern Dragon City looked as though it was a field. Practically everything had been destroyed. Frost, Su Ke, and Da Lin had all died in battle. When I thought of Frost, my heart ached again. I staggered and nearly fell over.
“Li Xiao Yao……”
Wan Er looked at me with red eyes, “Don’t be like this, I’m afraid….”
I smiled weakly at her, “Wan Er, I’m fine, I’m fine… I can take it… It’s just, I just lost a master is all, an NPC….”
As I said that, tears threatened to fall again. To me, Frost wasn’t as simple as an NPC.
……
In the middle of the debris, a hand reached out. One of the female dragon City knights walked out of the debris, covered in injuries. She carried a sword that had already been broken. It was Frost’s most trusted general——Qing Luo. She glanced at me, then began to shake. Tears dropped down her cheeks, “Lady Frost, she…. Did she already die?”
I silently nodded.
Qing Luo shook harder as tears ran down her face. After a minute, she looked up and said, “Lord, you’re Frost’s student. We…. what should Dragon City do from now on? Do we still have a future?”
I felt my voice crack a little and said, “Frost had spent her entire life protecting Dragon City. Now that Frost has died, then I will take up her duty and do everything I can to protect the city. Qing Luo, I do not know for what reason the Hybrid Demon army retreated, but we must immediately heal the injured soldiers and repair the city. Every life saved counts. Let’s see how many people are still alive from Dragon City…”
“Yes, Lord Dragon Rider!”
Qing Luo searched my eyes, as though looking for consolation and reliability. Frost, Su Ke, and Da Lin had all died in battle, while Luo Lin had betrayed the empire. In all of Dragon City, I was considered the one with the highest rank. And so, I became the temporary leader of Dragon City.
……
“Ahhh….”
I heard a cry from the ruined stones. I dashed over. Wan Er, Li Mu, and Wang Jian rushed over to help. We pushed away a large boulder. Below it, we saw the Ancient Hero Ran Min. His two legs had been crushed by an enormous boulder and his body was burned black. It was from the Enormous Dragon Fist, Igoras’ magic. Plus, Ran Min’s left arm also took a hit from the Eternal Moon Blade Xi Fu. When I was fighting with Luo Lin for the sake of Frost, Ran Min dealt with Xi Fu, Igoras, and Lei Ding the three kings all by himself.
