Chapter 367 (2/2)
In just about every district, aerial knights would follow after us They would either be Griffin Knights or Pegasus Knights, and I even saw a single Dragon Knight There was even aa Manticore Sometimes, they would appear in small squads or multiple small squadrons Ordinary countries wouldn’t be capable of affording aerial knights, while aerial knights were one of the most basic units in the Bardi domain lords’ ar the clouds
Even when they saw that Archduke Halent’s Blue Dragon was at the forefront, they didn’t leave They followed us in silence until we left their domain And whenever we entered a new do us with the same attitude This polite yet distant attitude wasn’t only targeted at us outsiders Not a single person greeted the well-known Dragon Knight Archduke, which was definitely unusual
Dragon Knights belonged in-name only to the royalty, so they had the freedoh each dohts represented a certain attitude, even if they couldn’t stop the Dragon Knights fro: “This place is ours You can come if you like, but you must remain under our surveillance”
This was obviously a show of disrespect to the royal authority, and it was quite different from what I had heard previously on how Orloss ruled with an iron grip It would seem that since the domain lords were under the impression that Orloss would soon die, they now had other ideas about royal authority
Even though I hadn’t reached the capital, I could guess at as going on It was probably due to the fact that Orloss had far too st the princes’ factions inevitable But once the internal conflicts started, no matter which prince won out in the end and becareatly dio, when the domain lords suppressed the royalty, would return
Their attitude towards the Dragon Knight Archduke Halent wasn’t only a political attitude—there were probably concrete reasons to it as well
“Who knows? Maybe you’re here to record our terrain and military status in order to prepare for future possible combat”
As for us outsiders? We weren’t stopped or asked any questions at all Halent was leading us, so ere viewed as hts Our new coside us without any hindrance
New companion? Didn’t I ure, the Wind Elehness Roland, I ca very important that I’d like to discuss with you in detail”
After killing off Emordilorcan, Camdian ran for his life—I meant left in a hurry But he had now appeared beforeimportant to discuss And unlike before, when he would address me as “puny worm” or “foolish mortal,” his demeanor was much humbler
Ancient existences like Camdian were the practical type If you couldn’t prove you were equal to their level, they wouldn’t even look you in the eye
Of course, I was delighted to see Ca for top-level wind ele with the other elements If I killed him—er—I meant asked him, perhaps I would receive a harvest
Yet I could only helplessly abandon thoughts of killing him when I took a closer look at Camdian Only his incarnation had appeared before inal h impossible to obtain useful eleainst a video game boss as both ridiculously difficult to defeat and wouldn’t even offer a single good ite in midair—not the best ti However, he was strangely in a hurry to talk toso, he was visibly delighted and directly asked hness, I’d like to discuss the Desecration Priest and Antiholy Knight you created in Auland who have the ability to dispel divine power…”
“What? Desecration Priest? Antiholy Knight?”
When Roland and the True Gods were engaged in battle with the titan Giants in the southwest of Bardi, the sea battle at Auland had ended with an astonishi+ng result
The cooperation between Auland’s “Fleet of Death” and Reyne’s Four Elemental Swordcasters obtained impressive achieve the Sea Tribe’s formations Then, the Swordcasters’ three squadrons divided and conquered the Sea Tribe that had been split up,the result obvious
Actually, this small scale tactical cooperation between the Swordcasters and the battleshi+p fleet was created for the sake of the Borealis, and the seven Big Dipper airshi+ps intended to go along with it This was siy
Now that this strategy was used in actual combat, various problems were exposed For instance, the Swordcasters had overly weak power levels, ainst the Sea Tribe in extended battles Construction techniques for certain equipe, e and other such problems occurred
Yet Reyne had quite cohts, who had e power levels than the Swordcasters, acted well as support and protection East Mist’s coh some equipment had been lost or destroyed, they had very few casualties
Even though the Sea Tribe’s reinforcements had arrived, they were unable to block the black Fleet of Death’s slow, inexorable advance Both sides locked therinder style attrition co on this battle, while the Sea Tribe lacked the will to fight and were unwilling to sacrifice themselves The Sea Tribe’s repeated losses and retreats were only natural
This wasn’t a piece of cake for the Auland hunificant nued to accooal: to reach the docks district where the underwater base was located
Upon reaching this location, the fleet arranged its shi+ps in a circle and took up a defensive for for an underwater descent when so completely unexpected overturned the battlefield’s situation It was this that spurred Ca out Roland That was because as shown in this battle was of momentous import to an ancient Elemental God like him
“The Dark Elves entered combat! They turned around the entire battle!”
