Earl Sam's army, while not particularly skilled in actual combat, possessed impressive equipment. When combined with the rebel army's assault, numerous soldiers stormed into the castle.
Just as Liao Ning prepared to rush into the basement to save Lili, a deafening roar resonated through the air. The castle's roof was forcefully displaced, and an enormous black dragon soared into the sky, capturing everyone's attention.
However, Liao Ning's surprise exceeded that caused by the dragon itself. Her astonishment grew as she noticed a small black dot on the dragon's neck, vigorously waving at her.
"Lady Liao, I'm here! I'm riding a dragon! Isn't he magnificent?" Lili exclaimed with excitement. However, the black dragon seemed less pleased, emitting flames from its nostrils and venting its anger towards the ground.
