The attacks of Natsu and Gray, as well as the strength displayed by Gajeel previously, made the royal army not dare to surround them recklessly, and their cautiousness gave Gajeel and the others some time to catch their breath.
"Hurry up and land. We can't exert our full strength in the air." Gajeel, who had calmed down, immediately suggested and received the unanimous approval of everyone.
Although they all could fight in the air at the moment, they were still more used to fighting on the ground after all. Not everyone had the same tacit understanding as Happy and Natsu.
"You guys should hurry up and run separately. We have to run as well!" Natsu roared at Exceed and flew downwards at the same time.
When Exceed heard this, he also quickly scattered.
Along the way, Natsu also officially exchanged the 'flying device' with Gajeel. The four sorcerers of Fairy Tail and the two cats descended together.
This decision could not be said to be bad, but it could be called decisive instead. It was a pity that the difference in power between the two sides was a bit far.
Although Exceed possessed magic power, the magic that they could use was only the 'Aera' on their backs. Similarly, the royal army also had a flying pet like Legion.
Moreover, Legion's flying speed was not slower than Exceed.
Therefore, escaping separately from Fairy Tail and his group was precisely giving the royal army a chance to break through one by one.
From the ground, it looked as if a hunting game had been launched in the sky. The soldiers rode on Legion and scattered in all directions. They captured Exceed's Lacrima respectively. Without Natsu and the others, Exceed became the prey that could only escape.
Even Natsu and the others were powerless to do anything about this situation because there was still Edolas' strongest weapon below them.
Dorma Anim was known as the Dragon Armor, which was also known as the Dragon Knight.
After the four people and two cats landed on the ground, Faust immediately welcomed them warmly. The powerful magic cannon charged over with unparalleled power. Natsu and the others could only dodge in a sorry state. No one dared to test his power.
"Hahahahaha! All of you are going to die here!" Faust laughed arrogantly, sitting inside the Dragon Knight, making him fearless.
"Guild's people have already gone back, how can they die here?! Ice-Make: Ice Cannon!" Gray shouted unhappily. At the same time, a cannon made of ice condensed in his hands and fired at the Dragon Knight.
A large amount of ice and snow is fired from the cannon, but Faust remains unyielding, allowing the attacks to land on the Dragon Knight without dodging or evading.
"It's useless! Dorma Anim is enveloped in specialized magic crystals that protect it from any external magical attacks! As long as Dorma Anim exists, as the king, I am invincible! The power of a king is unmatched!"
"Disappear!" Faust shouted proudly. At the same time, the Dragon Knight opened his mouth, and the barrel of the cannon was visible.
"That kind of attack is coming again! Hurry up and dodge!" Gajeel, who was the clearest about this power, quickly shouted, and everyone dodged.
As soon as he finished speaking, the cannon fired another terrifying magic cannon. Although everyone had already dodged in advance, the shock wave still blew everyone away, looking very miserable.
"Don't underestimate us!" Suddenly, a multitude of flames appears above the Dragon Knight's head, rushing towards its head in a powerful impact. The tremendous force of the attack causes the Dragon Knight to stagger for a moment.
Fairy Tail's attacks came one after another. Before the dragon Knight could stand firm, the Dragon Knight's chest was hit again. The huge impact caused its entire center of gravity to move upwards.
"Sky Dragon's Roar!" Immediately after, Wendy appeared from the dust and roared at the Dragon Knight. The Dragon Knight, whose center of gravity was unstable, was directly blown several steps away.
The ones who attacked were naturally the three Dragon Slayer.
"Not bad, Wendy." Natsu said with eyes full of fighting spirit.
"This guy is really hard!" Gajeel spat out a mouthful of blood.
He said with disdain.
"This is all thanks to the two of you creating a gap." Wendy stood between the two and said solemnly.
However, the Dragon Knight had only taken a few steps back, and there were basically no major injuries.
However, Dragon Slayers' had indeed injured the Dragon Knight.
"Looks like only Dragon Slayers' is effective!" Looking at Natsu and the other two, Gray thought to himself. At the same time, he was thinking about what he could do.
Just as he was thinking, a few Legion rushed out of nowhere and flew straight towards Happy and Carla. They were very fast. Although Gray reacted, his body was too late.
At this moment, two Harpie Ladies blocked in front of Happy and Carla. They spread their wings forward.
Harpie Lady - Phoenix Formation!
Two Harpy Ladies summon a circular magic formation in front of them. In the center of the magic formation, a large bird with crimson feathers appears, firmly blocking the path of the Legion.
"Amaterasu's Formula 25 - Fleeting Radiance!" Immediately after, a familiar voice was heard. Following that, several magic arrays appeared around Legion and instantly exploded.
From the time the magic appeared to the time it exploded, not even a second had passed. Gray only felt his vision blur, and then there was an explosion. After the explosion, only Legion, who was dead or alive, and the soldiers on his back were left.
This unforeseen event not only shocked Gray, but even Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, Happy, Carla, and even Faust were stunned.
"Everyone, I didn't come late, right?" A frivolous voice came from above. Everyone looked up and saw a pitch-black flying dragon hovering not too high. Other than Calvin, who else had come?
"Great hero Calvin! You've come to save us!" Happy cried out excitedly. When he saw Calvin, the one who was the happiest was the blue cat, Happy. He was even more excited than Natsu. Obviously, Happy trusted Calvin more than Natsu.
"You came at the right time. Don't tell me you've been waiting for an opportunity to appear?" Gray let out a sigh of relief and teased.
It wasn't just him. When the others saw Calvin, they also heaved a sigh of relief. The expression on Faust's face that was hidden within the Dragon Knight became even more ferocious.
Calvin controlled Koumori Dragon to descend. Only then did everyone realize that Mystogan was with him. Moreover, Mystogan's current state didn't seem too good.
Seeing this, Wendy hurriedly ran over to treat Mystogan in panic.
"You guessed it too! You are right, I was hiding my figure just now." Calvin suddenly replied. His words were unexpected. Everyone looked at him in surprise.
"Don't look at me like that. After all, I have to be wary of Calvin." Calvin said indifferently. At the same time, he looked in a certain direction.
Everyone was confused by Calvin's words, but Gray and Natsu immediately reacted. The Calvin that Calvin was talking about was Calvin Lucifer.
"How powerful! How did you notice?" Sure enough, in the next moment, the same voice came out, and at the same time, Calvin Lucifer's figure was exposed.
"Take a guess. I don't want to tell you." Calvin said.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it. It's not a big deal anyway." Although Calvin Lucifer's tone was faint, it revealed extreme confidence.
"Calvin, I would like to ask you why you hid yourself." At this time, Faust asked.
"Your Majesty, of course we should be wary of Calvin," Calvin Lucifer says, and for some reason, Faust feels an indescribable discomfort.
"Didn't I order you to kill him?" Faust continued to ask.
"He's not someone who can be easily killed. I've been wanting to ambush him. Unfortunately, even after saving those two Exceeds just now, Calvin still hasn't let his guard down," Calvin Lucifer says.
Calvin Lucifer's excuse was flawless, but for some reason, Faust felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.
Therefore, Faust ignored it and continued to attack.
In any case, with the Dragon Knight, he is confident that there is nothing that can surpass his control.
