Chapter 324: Voice of the Heart
Hes strong.
Finn thought to himself while keeping his eyes on Roger who is currently chasing after him.
So far, he is the first person who Finn cant shake off even with serious effort.
Moreover, he is actively approaching Finn for a chance to attack as though he read Finns every movement.
Finn is managing to keep up for now but how long can he do that.
So this is the strongest Dragon Knight of the United Kingdom..!
This Captain of the elite Black Dragon Knights is even stronger than William.
The strongest Dragon Knight of the United Kingdom both in name and reality.
Even though Finns skills in aerial combat are not losing to his, Finn can not surpass Roger.
Finn wanted to reverse the situation with the power of type-62 but Roger can use his big sword as a shield and ward off the lightning strikes he fired.
Excellent offense and defense, no opening whatsoever.
Both the performance of the weapon and the power of their mount, Finns are superior. Still, Roger managed to fill that gap with his experience alone.
Ugh!
Finn increases the altitude to get away from the approaching Roger. However, as if he was expecting that, Roger rises up at almost the same time and does not allow him to widen the distance.
Using your superior mobility to raise the altitude huh! It might work against another Dragon Knight but!
That wont work against me.
Roger brandishes his sword.
Finn twisted his body to evade it but using that opening, Roger spins his dragon.
A strike with a dragons tail.
It was a surprise attack.
To cover for Finn, Nova directly received the tail strike.
The damage wasnt fatal but due to the difference in their size, Finn and Nova were blown away.
UGGH!! Nova! Are you okay!?
Kyu!
Nova responded as if to say that it was nothing.
Finn was relieved to see that but the crisis is not over yet.
Roger is still unharmed and standing in their way.
If Finn is defeated, Roger will lead the enemy force to attack the convoy. If that happens, the transport will be interrupted.
On the other hand, if Finn can defeat Roger, the enemy will lose their chance to make a decisive move.
Their battle is affecting the balance of the battlefield itself.
He can not allow himself to fall here.
That thought slowed Finns movement and judgment.
You are wide open!
Seeing that Finn tries to take a distance again, Roger immediately closed in.
Rogers immediate charge is without hesitation.
Finn was surprised but Roger wouldnt wait for him to recover.
He keeps pursuing Finn who is still trying to get away.
Even when he realizes that the situation is getting ugly, Finn knows that it is difficult to turn the table once he falls into a disadvantage.
Thus Finn desperately concentrated on avoiding the incoming attacks.
Meanwhile, Lamberts voice reached Finns ears.
Your Highness! Its an ambush!!
Hearing that, he gazes at the transport unit.
Three enemy Dragon Knights managed to slip past their defense.
The Black Dragon Knights are keeping the 6th Corp occupied. As a result, they were late to notice the Dragon Knights that flew in low from another direction.
Moreover, the 6th Corp was rotating their injured members to escort the transport unit. In their place, the knights who were originally escorting the transport unit are joining the battle at the front.
That also played a part in making them late to notice the enemys ambush.
The injured knights desperately fire fireballs to protect the convoy with all their might.
The Large Flying Dragons which are the main means of transport can not possibly avoid the enemys attack.
If they drop down the supply they are carrying at the wrong height, it will cause harm to their allies below them instead.
Therefore, Katrina and the Dragon Knights of Marquis Greisner who were guiding the Large Flying Dragons moved to intercept the approaching enemy.
Dont let them approach!
Get out of my way! You half-baked Dragon Knights!
There was a difference in their skills in the first place.
Moreover, their dragons are exhausted and are far from perfect condition.
Even so, Katrina and her subordinates stood in their way.
Instead of avoiding the approaching spears, they received it with theirs and let their dragons take them head-on.
Being locked in place, the enemy can not ignore them.
Damn you!
You wont get through!
Dont you get carried away!
While their dragons are colliding, they continue battling each other with their spear.
They are at a disadvantage at close distance but if they widen the distance, the enemy will be able to approach the convoy.
Therefore, Katrina and her subordinates did not withdraw. If their opponents try to widen the distance, they will immediately close in.
However, they are restricting the enemys movement at the cost of entering the distance where the enemy can cause fatal damage to them.
The enemy Dragon Knights spear shallowly pierces Katrinas shoulder.
In response, Katrina grabbed the spear handle.
The same goes for all of Marquis Greisners Dragon Knights.
In the literal sense, they are stopping the enemys advance with their own bodies.
Kgh! Let go!!
Dont you look down on the Empires Dragon Knights!
Every time their opponent moves, the spear causes them severe pain.
Even so, Katrina kept gripping on their spear.
Even if it is only one second, she knows how precious the time she can earn is.
Unless they do this much, they can not earn time for the transport. The Dragon Knights of Marquis Greisner had taken a portion of their food to feed their dragons. Including Katrina, they all can barely stand up themselves.
The enemy Dragon Knights are terrified at how Katrina and the others are stopping them at the cost of suffering such a wound but they couldnt afford to stop resisting either.
Letting go of their spears, they widen the distance.
They then pull out their sword and try to cut down Katrina and her subordinates who are getting sluggish from the pain.
Finn who saw that from a distance tried to turn the type-62 toward them buthe hesitated.
Right now, what would happen if he let Roger do as he pleased.
Given the situation of the battle, he cant leave this place.
Finn faces Roger while trying to make his decision but he still hesitates.
However, his heart wasnt there anymore.
To still worry about others while facing me, you are looking down on me Eh!
Roger made a forceful maneuver unlike the traditional linear movement he was sticking with until now and swung his sword down toward Finn.
While looking at the big sword that is approaching him, Finn recalled Als words.
Finn, this is your first battle. I am sure that there will be many thoughts that can make you hesitate on the battlefield. When the time comes, just listen to your heart.
Considering that battle situation, he should not leave this place.
Right now, the only one who can keep up with Roger is him.
Even so, Finn still wanted to go to Katrina and his friends. After all, that was the reason he chose to come here in the first place.
He knows that it will cause their side to be at a disadvantage. His action will be a selfish one.
He knows that.
However, his heart still tells him to do it.
Even if things get worse, I have to go.
Lets go-Nova.
Muttering so, Finn jumped backward by himself.
The big sword passed through the place where Finn used to be.
Roger opened his eyes wide to that sudden action.
For the first time, Finn did something that he didnt expect.
For a Dragon Knight, the back of their dragon is like a rooftop. No one would dare to leap off.
However, Finn did it.
He jumped backward and aimed the type-62 at Roger from point-blank.
I am putting this battle on hold.
Saying so, Finn fired off a lightning strike, flicking away Rogers big sword.
UGGHH!?
How long has it been since he has been disarmed like this.
Roger was both surprised and impressed.
What a guy
While falling, Finn looks toward Katrina.
They are at an overwhelming disadvantage.
He has no way to get back to them or to get back on Nova himself.
Still, he has to stop the enemy Dragon Knights.
At the same time, the knights of the 6th Corp were also heading their way.
Surely, they will make it in time to protect the convoy. However, that doesnt guarantee the safety of Katrina and his friends.
After all, Katrina and the others are putting their lives on the line so that the enemy can not ignore them. They will have to kill Katrina and the others to get past.
Thats the reason why the knights of the 6th corp will make it in time.
But he can not allow that.
Al already told him.
He told him to save them.
I am going to save you!!
As he keeps falling, he flows his magic power into the type-62.
He will probably hit the ground as is, he might even get attacked mid-fall.
However, Finn pays no mind to those unnecessary thoughts.
He knows.
He knows that his trusted partner will come to his side.
Thats why Finn was able to concentrate on helping Katrina and his friends.
GOOOOOO!!
More than a dozen lightning strikes were fired.
They headed straight toward the castle and hit the Dragon Knights in front of Katrina and the others.
It was an attack that none of them expected.
They had no way to prevent it.
In front of Katrina and the others, they all fell to the ground powerlessly.
Katrina then turns toward the direction where the lightning strikes were coming from.
Finn was falling.
Finn!?
Katrina unconsciously reached her hand out to that impossible sight.
But she cant reach him.
Instead, she saw Nova matching Finns falling speed.
She then saw Finn grab the reins of Nova and get back on.
How reckless..
It was quite a feat.
She would be scared for him even if they are not in the middle of a battle.
It was something that you cant pull off unless you have trust in your dragon and your own skills.
However, that peace of mind is fleeting.
A Black Dragon Knight was approaching from behind Finn and Nova.
Ugh! I am counting on you! Nova!
Kyu!!
After Finn got back on, Nova was slowing down its descent.
Spreading its wings, Nova desperately tried to decrease the speed and land on the castle wall.
Finn strokes his chest in relief at the feeling that he finally touched the ground but a Black Dragon Knight was charging in from behind him.
Your head is mine now!
!?
He was completely caught off guard.
Even if it is Nova, its movement would be slowed when it just touched the ground.
Looking back, Finn decided that he had no choice but to use his hand to intercept the incoming spear and counterattack with the type-62.
After all these times, he isnt afraid of getting hurt now.
Such times have already passed.
However.
You flew well. Young Dragon Knight.
Eh?
Above Finns head.
Something just descended and spoke to him.
The incoming spear was parried away and the Black Dragon Knight was blown off the back of his dragon.
What just happened.
As Finn still couldnt make sense of the situation, the person who helped him showed his form.
Sieg-sama brilliantly joined the battle!
.a bear?
Cute right?
Finns face cramped up as he saw the bear smirking in reply.
