Chapter 303: Chapter 303 - 224: Dragon Blood Legion

The wind and snow are howling.An insect nest burns in the valley, black smoke formed from the mix of blood and tar rises into the sky, igniting the entire twilight horizon.And amidst the burning mountains of corpses and sea of fire, the Dragon Blood Legion descends through the snow.They are clad in heavy armor interwoven with black and red, their formation as orderly as a torrent of iron.The heavy infantry broke the wind first, raising their shields to form a wedge-shaped assault.Behind them were flanking slicing knights and heavily armored javelin throwers.The "Magic Explosion Spears" thrown from the high ridges split the sky, falling in clusters like a sudden thunderstorm.Flames, explosions, fighting energy, a triple wave of lethal force advancing like a tidal wave.A tide of insect corpses surged forth, crawling densely over the valley.But in front of the Dragon Blood Legion, they seem like merely a precisely calculated "target for elimination.""First column advance, maintain wedge formation.""Second column break left, prepare third wave of magic spears!""Beheading squad, array in position."Every command was simple, direct, without a trace of hesitation.That was the voice of Deputy Corps Commander Gaius Calvin, echoing through the formation.He rode on a warhorse clad in heavy armor, his nearly two-meter tall burly frame as robust as a sculpted iron wall.He slowly raised his battle blade, its molten blade flowing like lava, the rising red fighting energy like an erupting furnace, casting a blood-red glow across the snowy landscape.Even before the fighting energy fell, the insect corpses instinctively took a step back.And blocking his path were three large High Tier insect corpses.They had human-like appearances, yet wore armor cobbled together from insect shells and dead flesh, their pupils a deep blue, expressions cold and indifferent.These were former Snow Swearer warriors from the Northern Snow Country, the strongest warriors of the nation, whose bodies had been seized by the Insect Nest.Forty years ago, the Empire conquered the Snow Country, burned the Royal Court, exterminated the Royal Family, and cast this proud warrior race into the dust.And now they were reawakened and manipulated by the insect nest in their corpse forms.They still retained their combat techniques, even more frenzied than before.Bone blades ejected from their arms, stepping silently in the snow, as insect patterns on their bodies flickered, beginning to absorb blood and dead flesh from the battlefield to strengthen themselves."Dead things shouldn't jump back to life!"He squeezed his horse's flank, and the warhorse accelerated with a thunderous charge straight between the three corpses!Red flames instantly expanded, condensing into a tangible domain of fighting energy."Red Flame Slash, unleash with full force."He raised the battle blade high, flames coiling like a dragon tornado beside him, cutting a crimson path on the snowy ground.A sudden slash!The world seemed to be cleaved open by a falling crimson meteor!All three insect corpses froze at once, their bodies subsequently exploded in midair.No, they were melted from the inside out by the searing fighting energy, bones and flesh charred, insect shell shattered, and innards bursting into blood mist!Where the slash mark lay, the snow melted into black mud, the air thick with the foul stench of charred insect bodies and hot metal."Is this the power of a Peak Knight?"
