Time passed, and the ancient bell of the palace began to ring. The empress brought Locke and Clifford to meet up with the army in the city.
The four generals in the city had been waiting for a long time. There were four high-level Dragon Knight mages in total. They were the Blue Dragon, Green Dragon, Red Dragon, and Ice Dragon. The Azure Poison Dragon stood behind the empress. There were a total of five dragons.
Originally, Stonolo had eight generals, but due to the rebellion, only the most loyal four remained.
From outside the city, Duke William Rowan could already see the flames burning in the city. He had commanded all 150,000 of his troops to be stationed in the front line.
Meanwhile, Queen Melissa was making her final declaration of victory!
"The Stonolo Kingdom has been established for more than 500 years, although it is not as powerful as the surrounding countries, we still managed to survive until today!
"The two dukes, Hanz and Renault, have betrayed us and sided with the enemy! As Queen, I officially announce that Hanz and Renault be stripped of their dukeship permanently. No matter the outcome of this battle, I will personally take their heads!
"When the war is over, none of their family members shall be spared! Their lives will be taken to commemorate all the victims and loyal soldiers of this kingdom!"
After saying that, Queen Melissa raised the gem-studded scepter in her hand and summoned the Azure Poison Dragon that was attached to her back. She then rode on her dragon and they flew off the ground, charging toward the battlefield.
Motivated by Queen Melissa's heroic bearing, the moment she flew out of the city, all the soldiers rushed out of the city gates!
Meanwhile, Locke could not help but ask Clifford, "What should we do?"
Clifford was also very helpless. He could only say, "Let's follow the queen first! If anything happens, we might be able to help!"
Locke immediately summoned his Steel Dragon, and the two of them chased after Queen Melissa.
Soon, they saw a shocking scene. The moment Queen Melissa's Azure Poison Dragon flew out of the city, its body kept dripping venom onto the ground. The green venom was like rain.
The soldiers who came into contact with the venom did not even have time to scream before they were corroded into pools of blood. Queen Melissa's target was very clear. She flew straight toward the enemy's command camp.
Other than Locke and Clifford, two other generals, Red Dragon and Ice Dragon, followed closely behind.
Before Queen Melissa could reach the enemy's base camp, Hanz and Renault appeared, riding a Black Dragon and a yellow Earth Dragon respectively. Only the Black Dragon and Earth Dragon were immune to the poison of the Azure Poison Dragon.
The three of them faced each other in the air. Queen Melissa said domineeringly, " In the past, I could forgive you no matter what you did! But this time, no matter who stands in my way, I will not let you off easily!"
Hearing Queen Melissa's words, Duke Renault immediately laughed. "Hahaha! Do we still need your forgiveness? From today onward, we will be the kings of Stonolo! When the time comes, I will tie you up in the castle hall and let the soldiers humiliate you! We'll use your body to reward these soldiers who won the war with me! It is most unfortunate that you still don't have any children. Otherwise, I would personally pay a visit to your son and daughter!"
Locke, who was flying not far away, felt a surge of displeasure when he heard this.
The Queen was completely enraged. Meanwhile, her Azure Poison Dragon had already entered its complete form. All the tissues scattered around her body had been fully unfolded. She looked extremely terrifying.
In order to avoid being affected, Locke immediately commanded his Steel Dragon to fly higher into the sky to assess the surrounding situation, so as to prevent any surprise attacks.
The battle below immediately became intense. The five of them engaged in an intense battle between dragons and magic in the sky.
Queen Melissa raised her staff and injected magic into her gem-studded golden staff. Without even needing to chant any spells, multiple instantaneous magic arrays appeared, surrounding the space around them. Green ice laced with venom shot out from the magic array toward Renault and Hanz.
When the two saw this, they quickly dodged, but something unexpected happened.
The ice was not an attack method. When it approached the two of them, it exploded.
The poison contained in the green ice filled the air, and the two immediately casted a magic barrier to shield themselves. However, they were unable to resist the poison, and within a few seconds, their faces turned green.
Locke and Clifford who were watching from above could not help but look at each other.
"Poison can be infused into ice magic?"
"Of course, but this method is not something you can achieve at your current stage! Your current mage level is at most that of a Great Mage. Even with the support of a dragon, you can barely match the strength of a Mage Mentor! When you become a Mage Mentor, you will be able to integrate Eliza's light attribute into your magic staff!"
As he spoke, Clifford realized something. Although Locke's current power has already reached the level of a Great Mage, his magical skills were still too poor! If not for the enhancement of his extraordinary weapon, he could not even be considered a mage!
Thinking that, he could not help but cover his forehead with his hand!
Locke felt a deep sense of malice as he looked at Clifford…
Seeing Locke staring at him, Clifford immediately patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll do my best to impart all the magic knowledge I know to you!"
After being poisoned, Renault could not help but point at Queen Melissa and say, "You! Didn't you disdain using such methods?"
"In the past, I would not have used any tricks to deal with the enemy! But you are not human! So it doesn't matter what method I use! We honor the code of knights in a fight between knights. You're not worthy. This is enough to deal with the likes of you!"
After saying that, Queen Melissa raised the magic staff in her hand without hesitation, increasing the speed of the poison's proliferation in their bodies.
Hanz wanted to kneel and beg, but the queen did not give him the chance. Queen Melissa knew that she would be soft-hearted, so before they begged for mercy, she resolutely turned them into pools of blood.
Even their dragons were not spared. They all turned into a pool of vicious liquid in the sky.
Then, all the liquid that contained the essence of the dragons was swallowed by the queen's Azure Poison Dragon.
In the distant mountains, a certain General from the Kingdom of Castley, who was on his way to provide support to Hanz and Renault, saw the scene and quickly fled.
