Chapter 361: For my Friend
Chapter 361: For my Friend
The first who got into a combat position was William and Roger.
William has taken the front while Roger held the magic wand from behind him.
A formation that took Rogers leg injury into account.
On the other side, Leo and Finn did not move.
Its not that they are not going to fight together.
Their opponents are William and Roger. Two warriors who have been comrades in arms through many battlefields.
Thats why Leo and Finn are not trying to compete with them through cooperation.
Their aim is to split William and Roger up and take them one by one.
So they didnt move first.
If you are not going to come then I will!
Saying so, William thrusts his spear.
Leo received it from the front.
You are way more aggressive than usual huh. Prince William.
I want to settle this before your brother starts something again!
Then dont worry. My brother wont do anything this time.
Said Leo with a smile.
The battlefield is locked in a stalemate.
That is Als aim from the start.
To put a stop to Gordons overwhelming advantage.
If the battle can not be settled on the ground then the importance of the sky will increase.
And Al does not think that they will lose the battle in the sky.
Not because he trusts in Leo.
Even with his trust in Leo, Al is not a fool that would think that he can beat William. After all, it was where William will have the advantage.
Even if its Leo, he would still be inferior in terms of experience. Thats what many generals would say.
However, such a lack of experience can be compensated through overwhelming strength.
And preparation has already been made to guarantee that.
The title of the Strongest Dragon Knight is no longer the United Kingdoms alone.
I wonder about that!
After several offenses and defenses, William suddenly spins his dragon.
From behind, Roger fired a fireball toward Leo.
William and Roger were in sync. Even a slight mistake in their coordination would mean that Rogers attack will hit Williams back instead.
Thats why Leo didnt move.
After all, Finn was already prepared for it.
A lightning strike flew in from the side and offset the fireball.
William, who was aiming for the chance to strike when Leo evaded the fireball, was caught off guard.
Seeing that, Leo grinned.
You should be more careful. The understanding of your normal aerial battle has already been destroyed after all.
Before they noticed, Finn had moved to William and Rogers side. When the two have to look at Leo and Finn alternatively, Finn fires lightning strikes toward them.
Knowing that Finn can not fight well in close quarters combat, William charged at Finn to isolate him.
He does not doubt that Leo would charge in to protect him.
Thats why he thought that he has no need to fear Finns lightning strikes at close range and started worrying about Leos strike instead.
However, that is not the case.
Finn wasnt just playing around after Al entrusted him with the wand.
He had continued to practice and master the use of the type-62 magic wand.
He kept shooting and shooting.
As A result, he has acquired pin-point accuracy even when Nova is moving at full speed.
Even so, he continued practicing.
It was already more than enough and the result was satisfying but he still put in more effort.
Finn already expressed his gratitude to Al when he received the type-62 but Al said that he didnt have to thank him. That a victory can not be obtained with gratitude alone.
That was when Finn decided.
He shall repay this debt through military service.
Thats why he cant just be satisfied with himself and stop. He has to become stronger and aim higher.
He has decided to become a Dragon Knight that can single-handedly turn the tide of a battle.
And Finn is now raining down lightning strikes after lightning strikes upon William and Roger.
Ugh!!
The two retreat while defending against the lightning strikes.
They judged that if they can take a certain distance they should be able to somehow retaliate.
However, Finns lightning strikes never ceased.
Both of them are completely on the defensive side.
Your Highness!!
In order to try breaking through their predicament, Roger shot fireballs at Finn.
However, before the rain of lightning, it was like a raindrop on a hot stone.
Finns offensive can not be disrupted and the fireballs were simply offset by the lightning.
He is this strong!!?
William manages to parry away a lightning strike and looks for Leo.
He knows that once they are distracted by the rain of lightning, Leo would launch an attack at them.
With that in mind, William continues to look for Leo.
However, he was nowhere to be seen.
Blindspot huh!?
William flips his dragon and looks behind him.
Leo was there.
However, he does not show any signs of attacking.
He simply sneaked behind Roger and William.
The reason he did not enter the range of the rain of lightning was that it would be dangerous even to Leo himself.
Your Highness!! Leonard is only a decoy!!
Roger shouted as he parried away the lightning.
Roger, who has already experienced three fights against Finn was already accustomed to the lightning strikes.
Even with his injured leg, he can still parry it with his greatsword.
However, William is different. He can not parry them unless he concentrates.
Because he knew that, Leo went around his back.
He was counting on Williams vigilance toward him to delay his response to the lightning strike.
When William realized this, 2 lightning strikes flew toward him and he parried one away with one hand.
Then he was about to do the same to the second lighting.
He noticed that it was different from the lighting strikes so far.
A converged lightning strike.
An attack with more power than the normal one.
William tried to parry it with one hand again.
Ugh!? WOAAAH!!
A decisive blow.
William managed to redirect it.
By letting go of the spear he was using.
For William, letting go of his spear on the battlefield was nothing less than humiliation. However, if he didnt do that he would have fallen prey to the lighting strike.
And now he will probably become prey to Leo who would exploit that opening instead.
DO YOU THINK I WILL GO DOWN THAT EASILY!!?
William unsheathed his sword and blocked Leos blow without even looking.
William and Leo locked eyes.
However, he has already entered Leos range.
Leo received Williams sword swing and flicked the sword out of Williams hand.
After receiving the converged lightning strike, Williams grip was not in perfect condition.
Your headis mine!!
Leo swings his sword at Williams neck.
This is the end, William thought.
However, that blow did not reach William.
YOUR HIGHNESSSSSSSSS!!!
Roger slammed his dragon into Williams and caught the sword with his body.
Leos sword deeply cut into Rogers flank.
However.
I CAUGHT YOU NOW!!
Roger tosses his greatsword at William and grabs Leos sword with his now free hands.
Rogers body was already full of wounds.
Naturally, he did not reach Williams side without Finn noticing.
He had taken multiple lightning strikes to make it to William.
And he is now trusting William to deal the finishing blow.
DONT MIND IT!!
Forgive me!!
Roger was willing to be cut down together with Leo.
With one word from him, William immediately understood his intention.
He swings the greatsword down with the intention of slashing both Leo together with Roger.
However, another person slammed into William again.
It was Finn.
YOU THINK I WILL ALLOW IT!!?
Seeing Roger charging toward William without caring about the lightning strikes, Finn immediately rushed to Leo.
If he can take the blows then he only has to get close.
As he didnt expect Finn to willingly get close to him, William loses his balance.
Dont get in my way!!
However, he quickly rebuilds his stance and blows Finn and Nova away with his dragons tail.
With Finn and Novas small physique, they were blown away from the difference in size. With that disadvantage they have in close quarters combat, they were originally deemed unsuitable to fight.
However, their tackle did earn Leo time.
If it was a lightning strike then the opponent can endure it but they went in to make William miss his greatest opportunity.
Williams eyes saw Leo pulling out his sword from Rogers body.
However, William is still faster.
As he watches Roger fall, William swings his sword down with all hes got.
THE VICTORYIS OURS!!!!!
They have made many sacrifices.
Some were unreasonable and some he couldnt accept.
Every time he has to tell himself that even so he has to win.
All for the sake of his friend.
To deliver him a victory.
If he defeats Leo here, the enemy army will collapse. No matter how skilled Al might be, he will not be able to rebuild it.
At this big turning point, William gathers all the power in his body into the greatsword.
In response, Leo took a surprising response to the blow.
He jumped.
He leaped off his griffon, Noir, and onto Williams Flying Dragon.
Leo left the striking range of the greatsword.
William released one of his hands from the greatsword and tried to slash at him again but when Leo landed on the dragons head, he jumped again.
I understand your feelings. But with Nii-san here, I can not afford to lose either!!!
Leo wields his sword as he passes by William.
A diagonal slash from his shoulder to his flank.
Getting attacked from the side, William can not respond.
Gugha..
Vomiting blood, Williams body leans to the front.
However, his dragon flew away as if to protect William.
Leo who has lost his foothold was thrown into the air but that was already expected.
Noir!!
Leo calls Noir as he falls.
Arriving at his side, Noir gives him a look as if telling him to quickly get back on.
Seeing that, Leo grabbed on the reins and straddled Noir with a bitter smile.
Then, when he regained his balance, Finn rushed to his side.
Are you safe, Your Highness!?
Somehow. But I dont know if that was a finishing blow or not.
The cut wound was not light.
He felt it.
However, it is still not certain.
Thats why he was about to give chase.
However, multiple Dragon Knights have arrived to protect Roger and William.
Evacuate His Highness and Captain to the mountain!! We will buy you some time!!
Protect them with your lives!!
The Dragon Knights who were fighting the 6th Imperial Knights Corp and the Greisners Dragon Knights gathered in front of them.
Thus the battle between Leos group who tries to give chase and the defending Dragon Knights began.
