324: Chapter 325 Lilia: Riding a little lizard is called being a dragon knight?

This sudden aerial force, like dark clouds pressing down, brought a pressure that instantly made many elves below hold their breath.

Dragons! Even though they looked not fully grown and not the largest among the dragon race, they were still real dragons!

They were the symbol of the pinnacle of power on the Velos Continent!

And those who could ride dragons were only the legendary Dragon Riders!

The halo of the Sunlight Barrier reflected the cold armor of the dragons and griffon riders, and also illuminated the increasingly arrogant smile on the human youth's face.

He rode the dragon, circling at a height of dozens of meters outside the barrier as if a king inspecting his territory, then suddenly took a deep breath, and his voice, infused with battle qi, roared like rolling thunder, forcibly achieving Penetration of the Sunlight Barrier, booming across the entire Sunlight Woodland:

"You ant-like elves below, listen well to this Third Prince!"

His voice was arrogant, carrying a natural sense of superiority and an unquestionable commanding tone:

"I am the third heir to the Canglan Empire, the noble Third Prince of the Empire, the conqueror of the sky, Dragon Rider Byron!"

He paused, seemingly enjoying the fear the elves below might feel at his name, pointed his heavy sword downward again, and his tone turned into a naked threat:

"Now, this Third Prince, representing the Canglan Empire, issues an ultimatum to you, the Sunlight Elf Clan!"

"One month! This Prince only gives you one month!"

"Within one month, the entire Sunlight Elf Clan must abandon senseless resistance, open the barrier, swear allegiance to the Canglan Empire, and become a vassal of the Empire! Pay tribute on time, and select a sufficient number of Elf Maidens to go to the Imperial Palace to serve!"

"If you dare to disobey..."

Prince Byron revealed a cruel smile, his voice suddenly turning harsh:

"Once the deadline passes, the million-strong army of the Canglan Empire will trample the Deep Blue Forest! At that time, under the blades, there will be no such thing as captives! The Moon God Ancient Tree? Hmph, I'll just chop it down to make the main beam for this Prince's new palace! As for you long-eared ones... the men will be slaves, and the women will be whores! This is the consequence of defying the will of the Canglan Empire!"

Arrogant! Domineering! No room for maneuver!

This naked declaration of conquest and vicious threat swept through the heart of every elf like the most piercing cold wind.

Many elf warriors were trembling with rage, their knuckles white as they gripped their weapons; the elderly elves showed despair and grief; the young elves' eyes were filled with fear and confusion.

Even Elf King Elandir and several elders had extremely ugly expressions.

The Canglan Empire was no longer satisfied with sporadic slave hunting but wanted to completely annex the entire Sunlight Elf Clan!

And the one the opponent sent was actually a Dragon Rider!

Although it was only a not-fully-grown dragon, the deterrent power of a Dragon Rider was real in this world.

However, just as the atmosphere of oppression, anger, and despair climbed to its peak, and many elves were almost unable to resist rushing out of the barrier to fight to the death—

A crisp, melodious, yet clearly drunken and deeply impatient female voice, like the sudden ringing of silver bells, rudely intervened, instantly breaking the suffocating silence:

"What kind of bullshit Third Prince! You're so noisy! Can't you let people drink properly and talk to Father King and Mother Queen?!"

That voice... is it Lilia?!

A delicate figure was seen drifting out from the edge of the Sunlight Royal Court platform, swaying slightly.

It was Lilia!

Her little face had a cute flush, her light green eyes looked a bit hazy from the alcohol, and she was still holding an exquisite elf crystal cup with amber liquid remaining in it.

Clearly, she had just been drinking a few extra cups of the elf secret fruit wine with her parents because of the joy of reunion, and she was currently in a tipsy state.

She was annoyed by the noise outside, and hearing such arrogant threats, the alcohol surged, coupled with the confidence brought by her skyrocketing strength, that bit of princess temper and the arrogance of someone by Lin Muyang's side suddenly flared up.

She flew unsteadily into the air, reaching the same height as Prince Byron outside the barrier, squinted her drunken eyes to look at him through the transparent Sunlight Barrier, then looked at the mighty dark red dragon under his feet, wrinkled her small nose, and let out a snort of disdain:

"Heh! Is this it? Riding a little lizard that hasn't been weaned yet, you dare to call yourself a Dragon Rider and come to This Princess's doorstep barking?"

She let out a small hiccup, rubbed her eyes, then extended her fair, tender finger, pointed at Prince Byron, then pointed at the group of griffon riders behind him, her tone carrying a mockery that you really have never seen the world:

"So arrogant, you think you're the only Dragon Rider?"

She paused, feeling a bit tired of standing, so she simply sat down in the void, crossed her legs, shook the crystal cup in her hand, and then shouted towards the direction of the Morning Sun House below in a tipsy, coquettish tone:

"Big Brother Muyang~ Someone is bullying me! And disturbing our family reunion! Where is my Little Green? Lend it to me to play with!"

As soon as she finished speaking—

"Hum!!!"

A terrifying dragon might, far more magnificent, ancient, and majestic than when the dark red dragon appeared earlier, descended without warning!

This dragon might was not violent, but carried a natural pressure from the pinnacle of the life hierarchy, as deep and heavy as a vast forest, instantly filling the entire world!

The Sunlight Barrier trembled slightly under this dragon might, emitting a groan of being unable to bear the weight.

All the birds and beasts inside and outside the barrier, regardless of friend or foe, instantly prostrated on the ground, trembling, not even daring to make a whimper.

The dark red dragon under Prince Byron's feet even let out a fearful wail, its crimson dragon pupils filled with terror, its huge body trembling violently in the air, almost unable to control its flight posture!

Prince Byron, who was originally high and mighty on its back, was now pale, desperately urging his battle qi to barely stabilize his posture, the madness and arrogance on his face having long been replaced by unbelievable fear.

"Roar—!!!"

Accompanied by a deep dragon roar that seemed to come from the ancient wilderness and shook the soul, the space above the Sunlight Barrier rippled and twisted violently like water waves!

Immediately after, a huge dragon claw covered in ink-green, as if carved from jade, with edges as sharp as knives, poked out from the void!

Just this one dragon claw was larger than the entire body of the dragon under Prince Byron's feet!

The dragon claw easily tore through the spatial ripples, followed by the long neck covered in heavy ink-green scales, the huge body with beautiful lines full of power, and finally the giant dragon wings that slowly spread out, enough to cover the sky and sun!

Forest Dragon!

A true, fully grown Forest Dragon had descended!

Its body length exceeded fifty meters, and its wings, when fully spread, reached an astonishing forty meters!

Like a verdant mountain floating in the air!

Its scales were not a dull ink-green, but flowed with the luster of life and nature under the moonlight and the brilliance of the barrier, each one like the finest jade, beautiful and deadly.

The dragon's head was held high, its dragon pupils were deep emerald green, calmly overlooking below, and wherever its gaze reached, even space seemed to stagnate.

The life and nature energy naturally emitted from its body was so thick that it formed a faint green mist, making it look like a forest god descending.

The size, pressure, and the terrifyingly solid magic fluctuations of this dragon formed the most distinct and cruel contrast with the miniature dark red dragon under Prince Byron's feet!

Just like a lizard under the feet of a towering Titan?

"This... this is impossible!!!" Prince Byron screamed, his voice changing pitch, and the dragon under his feet trembled even more like chaff, almost collapsing and falling.

The griffon riders behind him were even worse, the griffons under them wailed continuously, the riders gripped the reins tightly, their faces as pale as paper, some even slipped off the griffons' backs, only relying on safety buckles to keep from falling.

And on the side of the Sunlight Elf Clan, they fell into a deeper, almost sluggish shock.

King Elandir, Queen Yiselah, Prince Laigong, all the elders, and the countless elves below, all raised their heads, mouths wide open, staring at the incredible emerald dragon in the sky like clay sculptures, their brains blank from the excessive impact.

This... what is this?! Is it the legendary ancient dragon god?

Since there have been records on the Velos Continent, such a huge and majestic dragon has never appeared!

No, this has exceeded their cognitive scope of dragons!

"This... this is a toy... that Big Brother Muyang gave me."

Lilia sat in the void, shook her slightly dizzy head, looked at the shocked expressions of her parents and clansmen, and explained with a bit of embarrassment and a little pride.

This Forest Dragon, which she named Little Green, was indeed borrowed by Lin Muyang from Hansa Bami and assigned to the young ladies for transport and to support the scene.

In their eyes, it was not much different from a more powerful pet mount.

A toy?! An ancient dragon capable of destroying a country is a toy?!

This realization made all the elves' hearts twitch violently.

"Little Green," Lilia stretched, rubbed her eyes, then pointed to the guests from the Canglan Empire who were scared out of their wits outside the barrier, and ordered in a tipsy yet crystal clear tone:

"Go get them. Bite off the head of that noisy so-called Third Prince Byron... um, for me! Oh right, and his lackeys, they look annoying, deal with them all too!"

"Roar—!"

Hearing this, the Forest Dragon Little Green's deep emerald dragon pupils flashed with a cold, murderous look belonging to a top predator!

It didn't even make any big movements, just opened its mouth slightly—

"Whoosh—!!!"

There was no deafening roar, only a silent, yet instantly spreading ink-green mist!

This mist seemed to have life, moving at an astonishing speed, instantly passing through the Sunlight Barrier, covering Prince Byron, his dark red dragon, and the dozen or so griffon riders in the sky!

Poisonous Dragon Breath · Life Wither!

In the area covered by the ink-green mist, time seemed to stand still for a moment.

The next moment—

"Uh ah—!"

"No—!"

Short, shrill screams sounded abruptly, and then stopped abruptly!

The gorgeous armor on Prince Byron's body lost its luster at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming dull, corroded, and finally turned into fly ash!

He himself, along with the dark red dragon under him, seemed to have been drained of all vitality, his skin instantly shriveled and gray, his eye sockets sunken, and within one second, he turned from a living powerhouse into two terrifying mummies that looked like they had been air-dried for thousands of years!

Both man and dragon, keeping the expression and posture of terror from the previous second, fell straight from the sky!

The dozen or so griffon riders and their mounts ended up exactly the same!

All of them, the moment they touched the ink-green mist, had their life essence stripped away by the domineering natural poison, withered, and fell as mummies!

Thud! Thud! Thud...

Like dumplings falling, a dozen mummies fell one after another into the forest on the outskirts of the Sunlight Woodland, making dull sounds and kicking up small dust.

Silence.

Deathly silence once again enveloped the Sunlight Woodland.

The night breeze was still gentle, and the moonlight was still bright.

But in the air, the suffocating and terrifying dragon might had not completely dissipated, mixed with the faint, void-like aura of life withering, making every elf feel a chill down their spine and their scalp numb.

From the arrogant and domineering Third Prince of the Canglan Empire leading his team to descend, threatening and intimidating, to Lilia appearing drunk, summoning the incredible emerald dragon, and then the dragon killing the whole audience with one breath of poison... All of this happened in less than two minutes.

Fast! Too fast!

The ending was also too terrifying and crushing!

The elves of the Sunlight Elf Clan remained in the posture of looking up and staring, their expressions frozen in extreme shock and confusion, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

The long sword in Prince Laigong's hand fell to the platform with a "clatter," but he didn't even notice, just staring fixedly at the emerald dragon in the sky that was slowly retracting its aura, and then looking at the sister who was sitting in the void, seemingly a bit sleepy because of the alcohol, and yawning...

Is this... is this really his lively, mischievous, slightly tsundere sister, Lilia, who needed his protection before she went missing?

And Elf King Elandir and Queen Yiselah, after experiencing the initial extreme shock, cast their gazes in unison towards the quiet Morning Sun House below.

Their eyes were extremely complex, with lingering fear, relief, unspeakable gratitude, and even a deep, re-cognition and awe of the power of the mysterious young man from another world, Lin Muyang.
