The Mighty Dragons Are Dead

"Leo, don't be reckless, hold the Mountain Copper Dragon with Ethan, I'll be back soon!" Liszt instructed Ethan and Leo using the Dragon Heart Electrical Signal.

Immediately, he maneuvered Bard to shift form and flew towards the peak where the Mountain Copper Dragon had previously rested—according to clues provided by the mouse of Duke Pierrot, Andre was always closely following the Mountain Copper Dragon, only returning to the supply team when needing supplies.

Liszt had to eliminate both Andre and the supply team.

To prevent any leaks,

While he didn't fear a fallout with the Eagle Kingdom, delaying the news of the Copper Dragon being seized made carrying out the Smoke Mission more convenient—the Smoke Mission required the three great kingdoms to recognize the Flame Kingdom, and once the Eagle Kingdom was dealt with, Blast Furnace Fortress and Steel Ridge shouldn't pose any trouble.

Once the Eagle Kingdom recognized it, Liszt wouldn't care about any subsequent fallout.

"Ach, help me look carefully, Andre shouldn't be hunting at this time. Hearing the dragon's roar, he must be hiding nearby."

"Mhm."

Both the Crystal White Trajectory and Eye of Magic Power searched the vicinity of the Mountain Copper Dragon's Nest, not overlooking a single inch of territory.

Although Liszt, as a man with a cheat, didn't care about those with extraordinary talent, deep down he felt some resentment towards geniuses. Why should he rely on the Smoke Mission to advance rapidly, while these geniuses could progress just as quickly by merely eating and drinking!

Soon.

Liszt and Ach found a tent at the foot of the cliff of the Mountain Copper Dragon's nest.

Undoubtedly this was where Andre resided, the genius knight plotting to conquer the Mountain Copper Dragon, who had always stayed by its side, hoping to move it with his relentless spirit, seeking a chance for a Mind Battle.

"He's not in the tent, but the campfire hasn't gone out; he's hiding nearby!" With a brief scan, Liszt was certain and looked up slowly, casting his gaze up the towering cliff.

Sure enough.

Near the top of the cliff, a figure made of magic appeared within the vision of the Crystal White Trajectory: "This guy must have been drawn by the roar of the dragon, wanting to see clearly which dragon it was. He might even be hoping to benefit from the fisherman's luck by riding two dragons at once."

He chuckled.

United with the dragon, he directly charged towards the cave entrance on the cliff.

Meanwhile, Andre Sapphire, standing at the cave entrance and gazing into the distance at the sky where three enormous creatures were battling tens of kilometers away, had, just as Liszt predicted, an irresistible thought of a fisherman's windfall: "Fight, let them fight, preferably both the Mountain Copper Dragon and those two smaller dragons get heavily injured!"

A gravely injured dragon would be his opportunity.

"But that dragon seems to be a Fire Dragon, and that light green one, could it be the Light Green Gemstone Dragon lost by the Eagle Kingdom?" Andre had been focused on conquering the Mountain Copper Dragon and was unaware of the current external situation. He had only heard during a previous resupply that there was a rising Fire Dragon Knight in the Sea of Azure Waves.

However, that Fire Dragon was said to have just a twenty-meter wingspan, much smaller than the one before his eyes. In just a year and a half, the Little Fire Dragon could not have grown this big.

So this one was not the same one.

"A Fire Dragon, exceptionally powerful. If the Sapphire Family hadn't had the participation of a Fire Dragon Knight in the past, it would have perished long ago, and the grudges of my grandfather and father could have been avenged immediately. But no need to rush, once I mount the Mountain Copper Dragon, I will personally destroy the Duchy of Sapphire and fulfill my grandfather's wish!"

He still remembered helping his grandfather pluck a white hair from his head as a child, and his grandfather had said, "Everyone has to die."

"But I don't want grandfather to die," young Andre had boldly stated.

"No one lives forever, except for the Dragon Domain LandLord."

"The Grand Duke will become the Dragon Domain Landlord."

"He cannot. Only members of the Sapphire Family have the chance."

"Andre will help Grandfather become the Dragon Domain Landlord!"

Grandfather then lifted him onto his lap, saying affectionately, "You need a dragon to become the Dragon Domain Landlord. Grandfather does not dare to hope to become the Dragon Domain Landlord. But it would still be good to obtain a strand of a dragon's soul and become an undying Lich... Andre, when you become a Dragon Knight, give Grandfather a strand of Dragon Soul as a birthday gift, will you?"

"Hmph, Andre will not only give Grandfather a strand of Dragon Soul but also a dragon!"

As a filial grandson, Andre still remembered the promise he made to his grandfather, the Marquis of Bull, when he was a child.

He watched the two unfamiliar dragons, steadily forced back by the Mountain Copper Dragon and falling at a disadvantage, his heart surging with eagerness, wishing he could immediately mount the Mountain Copper Dragon and keep these two dragons: "Since Grandfather has fallen victim, then I will shoulder Grandfather's wishes. I will become both a Dragon Knight and a Dragon Domain Landlord!"

However, before the heat in his heart could reach its climax, a clear greeting suddenly came to his ear, "Young man, is this Mountain Copper Dragon yours, or is this Little Fire Dragon?"

"Huh!"

Andre suddenly awoke, immediately drew the Knight's Sword he carried with him, and turned to press himself against a corner of the cave wall, his reaction swift as lightning.

But when he looked up, following the direction of the voice.

He nearly lost his soul in fright, for a dragon, glittering like flowing crystal, hovered at the cave entrance.

On the dragon's back was a knight wearing silver-white armor and holding an azure greatsword, his strikingly handsome face looking at him with a smile that was not quite a smile. Beside the knight, there was a beautiful young girl wrapped in a Magic Cloak, not looking at him, but rather watching the distant dragon battle.

"Who are you!" Andre forced down the panic in his heart, trembling as he inquired.

He had allied with the Eagle Kingdom for many years, always being a candidate in the Dragon Knight Program, yet had neither seen nor heard of such a dragon. Although it did not look very big, just about ten meters across in wingspan, its beauty was breathtaking, like a Mandala flower touched with dew.

Danger radiated from its entire being.

"It seems neither dragon is yours; since the dragons aren't yours, your lurking here obviously has no good intention, very likely aiming at my dragon!"

Having said that.

Bard, unified in mind and spirit with Liszt, suddenly unleashed a fearsome Dragon Might that pressed the already trembling Andre, choking him like a tightening grip around his neck.

Liszt leaped into the cave, grabbed Andre, trying to struggle, retrieved specially-made handcuffs and shackles that could lock up Dou Qi, and promptly shackled Andre. Without encountering strong resistance, a mere Sword Saint could offer no retort to the overwhelming suppression of a Dragon Knight.

"Who are you, what are you going to do!" Andre shouted, thrown on the ground.

"Tell me where the logistical supply troops of the Eagle Kingdom are." Liszt had no intention of wasting time with a villain's rhetoric.

"Who are you, do you realize what you're doing, I am a Dragon Knight candidate of the Eagle Kingdom, with the Eagle Royal Family standing behind me, even if you are a Dragon Knight, you should think carefully!"

"Interrogation is not my forte; I knew I should have brought a Blood Servant with me." Liszt shook his head, suddenly raising the Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword in his hand, "Since you're unwilling to talk, I will kill you first, then take my time searching for the Eagle Kingdom's logistical supply troops."

Clang!

With a flash of the sword.

Andre was scared witless, wetting himself, facing a Dragon Knight who would draw blood without a word; he no longer dared to delay, "Don't kill me, don't kill me; I'll talk, I'll talk!"
