Chapter 47

Chapter 47 – Chapter 7: Advent #5

In history, cavalry could be divided into two types .

There were those who used their mobility to attack and depart repeatedly or those who joined together as a mighty stone cavalry to push behind enemy lines . .

The centaurs of the Mighty Fire tribe were closer to cavalry archers .

The centaurs, including Ferocious Eyes, pulled their bows and fired . Shooting a bow on a horse was a task that required high training but it was a necessity for the centaurs .

In-gong required them to draw the casios’ attention, not defeat them .

As the casios had more numbers than them, Ferocious Eyes didn’t want to rush recklessly at the casios . So, he fired arrows instead . The arrows flew in a large arc .

The rain of arrows pouring from the sky was enough to cause pressure, but the casios just ran forward and didn’t avoid the arrows .

The ones at the front were hit by the arrows, but a far greater number of casios passed through the rain of arrows . They were either being controlled or didn’t care about death . Some of them even caught the arrows in their mouths .

The centaurs listened to each other and shot arrows in succession . Dozens of casios died whenever the rain of arrows poured out . However, the distance between the casios and the centaurs was decreasing rapidly .

After the third arrow, Ferocious Eyes switched from a bow to a spear . The casios had a mobility comparable to the centaurs’ because they were rushing to their deaths .

They didn’t care about melee warfare .

Ferocious Eyes shouted angrily .

His roars shook the heavens and the earth but In-gong didn’t look back at Ferocious Eyes and the battlefield . In-gong used the mini-map to navigate the draco .

A part of the group of casios split off and headed toward the temple . It seemed like In-gong wouldn’t be able to avoid a struggle .

‘There are a lot of them . ’

He guessed that there were dozens of them . It was possible because compared to In-gong and the centaurs, the casios had superior numbers .

Carack, who was on the draco next to In-gong, asked him,

"Prince! Do you just have to enter the temple?”

In-gong had to do precisely that . Green Wind didn’t tell him the specifics of the power, only that the power was sleeping in the small temple .

However, In-gong just nodded . He replied like a king talking to his men .

“Yes! We will be victorious if we arrive at the temple!”

Carack laughed at In-gong’s words . He held the dwarf axe and shouted excitedly,

"Then we will pierce through!”

Carack raised the speed of the draco and gave a battle cry as a wedge formation centering around In-gong formed naturally .

"Karaha!"

It was a warrior’s cry that raised the spirits of allies . In-gong stabbed the air with a dwarf dagger .

“Below the King’s Flag!”

It was the first time he had used Below the King’s Flag since securing the Thunder Light Anvil . The level of Conquest and Below the King’s Flag had risen .

A large flag made of pure white light unfurled behind In-gong’s back . The light spread out to cover Carack as well as Karma and the centaurs running with In-gong .

Karma, who was within the range of Below the King’s Flag, felt a spark of vitality through her body . The centaurs went wild and jumped against the wind .

In-gong felt the change . All those affected by Below the King’s Flag had become one .

"Pierce through!”

“Kuraha!”

Carack replied to In-gong’s command . Surrounded by white light, In-gong’s troops were like a sharp arrow .

The 33 casios and three creatures, which seemed to be drake ogres, were like an illusion blocking In-gong from reaching Green Wind . Instead of slowing down, Carack just swung his axe as hard as he could .

A violent clash took place . Blood and flesh scattered in the air as there was a howl .

In-gong instinctively realized something – it would be the end if they stopped . They had to keep penetrating through .

Karma jumped up and trampled on the head of a casios . Carack moved his axe like a madman as he opened the path while the centaurs blocked access with their spears .

The casios weren’t caught quietly . They ran and tackled some centaurs down to the ground . The centaurs were reinforced by Below the King’s Flag but they weren’t invincible . The sharp teeth and claws of the casios caught the centaurs .

Horrible screams hit his ears but he couldn’t stop . Cararack roared loudly,

"Prince! Go!”

The road was opened and the small temple was right in front of him .

"Kuratha!”

One drake ogre cried out urgently and tried to block In-gong’s way, but it was futile . Karma jumped up to step on the drake ogre’s head while Carack’s axe struck his side . The drake ogre, who was much bigger than Carack, lost his balance and fell sideways .

In-gong rode through the open gap . He was now at the very front and before his eyes, he saw an drake ogre hitting the barrier of green light around the small temple .

"Green Wind’s barrier!”

One of the centaurs following In-gong cried out . In-gong ran straight and pulled back his right arm . A red and yellow light emanated from Earth Quaker as the draco used its instantaneous speed . The drake ogre hurriedly turned around but In-gong had already reached him and In-gong didn’t spare his aura .

The power of an explosion!

The Earth Quaker’s amplified white aura hit the drake ogre . Unlike how the casios had exploded, the drake ogre didn’t explode, but he was pushed back and fell to the ground .

The wall of green light didn’t block In-gong and his party . In-gong passed through the wall first, followed by Carack, Karma and the centaurs .

Carack once again knew what he had to do . Instead of entering the temple along with In-gong, he held his axe and waited at the entrance of the temple with Karma and the centaurs .

Unlike the party, the casios and drake ogres couldn’t go through the barrier, so they were smashing against it .

‘Hurry! Enkidu’s equipment will lead you!’

Green Wind’s voice was heard in In-gong’s head . In-gong jumped down from the draco and rushed deep into the temple with Enkidu’s magic power in Earth Quaker leading the way .

A large tree was growing in the middle of a flat place in the deepest part of the small temple . Despite being inside the building, the tree with its roots and branches was be enough to support the entire small temple .

Enkidu’s magic power resonated . In-gong reached out with his right arm which was wearing Earth Quaker and Ainkel’s magic power was released from deep within the tree .

Then In-gong was standing in front of something that looked like a huge tree but wasn’t one . Dozens of tree trunks covered in green light were joined together . It seemed like a flower bud that was opening .

In-gong took a deep breath . Every time a tree opened, Ainkel’s magic power became stronger and Earth Quaker emitted more light .

Finally, the thing hidden deep in the tree was revealed to In-gong . It was a fist sized green stone located between dozens of trees . In-gong realized what it was the moment he saw it shining like a jewel .

‘Dragon heart!’

It was the source of magic power that every dragon had . It symbolised that they had all descended from the great kings .

It wasn’t a complete chunk . Green Wind had said that only a fragment was here . However, this wasn’t from an ordinary dragon; it was a piece of the elder dragon, Ainkel .

The green light winding around the trees took the shape of Green Wind . She showed up in front of In-gong and explained in an urgent voice,

"A long time ago, Watcher Ainkel made the Enger Plains from a desert using great magic . This temple is located in the center of that magic . ”

It had indeed been the feat of an elder dragon . Green Wind grabbed In-gong’s hand and said,

"I came from the fragment of Ainkel but I have changed as many years have passed since I was born . Please wake up Ainkel’s magic that remains in this temple . She left the magic to watch over the Enger Plains and its children . ”

Once Green Wind’s hand touched him, In-gong was able to grasp the situation outside the small temple . The green light barrier around the temple was on the verge of collapse and a fierce clash was occurring between Ferocious Eyes’ centaurs and the casios .

In-gong breathed in deeply and recalled the incident with the Thunder Light Anvil .

This time he didn’t have Felicia and Caitlin but he had to do it, even if he was alone .

In-gong stretched out his right arm and raised his hand over the green stone that was a piece of Ainkel .

&

Since the beginning of time, there had been six great dragons in the world .

One of them . . .

She had been born from the wind that swept the world .

Her name had been Ainkel, who watched . Unlike Enkidu who was a tyrant, she was a gentle and beautiful female who watched those born on the earth .

In-gong saw an illusion of a dragon covered in green scales . There was no sense of intimidation and fear like when he had seen Enkidu . She was huge but also beautiful and natural . She became like a cloud in the sky or an island in the sea as she became part of the landscape .

Her green eyes emitted a warm light as she gazed at In-gong . He closed his eyes from the warmth of those green eyes .

[Dragon Characters Lv1 has been learnt . ]

A clear voice was heard in his head . At the same time, In-gong understood some of the magic left behind by Ainkel .

In-gong woke up through Enkidu’s magic power and heard the wind . The new magic power was wrapped entirely around the small temple .

Green Wind hugged her shoulders . It had been a long time since she had felt Ainkel’s magic, so she was thrilled .

She looked down at Enger Plains from the sky . The miracle she had hoped for was happening . Large tree trunks sprouted out all around the small temple . Ainkel’s soldiers rose from the ground and started to shape themselves .

They were treants .

It started with one but soon expanded to dozens . They hadn’t uprooted and taken the first steps yet, but it was only a matter of time .

The casios and drake ogres were noticeably confused . The drake ogres, who had been fighting the centaurs fiercely, quickly turned toward the temple but dozens of treants were already between them and the temple .

It had become like this . It had been risky but it was just in time . There had been a large sacrifice but the Enger Plains were now guarded .

Green Wind sighed with relief and returned to the temple . She gave a deep bow of gratitude to In-gong .

However, she was shocked when she returned to the temple . Without realising it, she cried out with amazement .

In-gong still had his hands on the piece of Ainkel . Although the spell had already been activated in response to Enkidu’s magic, the connection between In-gong and the piece of Ainkel wasn’t cut off . The magic power remaining in the piece of Ainkel was being sucked into In-gong’s hands .

Why? What was happening?

There was only one answer .

Conquest .

It was the white woman's voice .

She wore a golden crown and appreciated Green Wind’s shock . She whispered into In-gong’s soul .

‘Rule .

Make them submit .

Even if it is an elder dragon, make them kneel before you .

You, the Conquest Knight . ’

In-gong didn’t stop . He dominated the power left behind in the piece of Ainkel .
