Chapter 275: Dragon Knight Archduke

Translator: ihtrain City was formerly the capital of the Seventeen Nation New Moon Alliance, but it was now only a small border town in the Bardi Ee here was the Archduke Dragon Knight, Halent Winston, of the Bardi Ea-empires would have their very own ace military squadrons that had amassed countless years of history and service The most faon knight squadron

The ons were forever at the top of the food chain They were also one of the few Gold-ranked species that existed in this world A on, even at its weakest, would be the equivalent of any hu techniques and end-ranked warrior would be helpless against these flying beasts

After all, dragons kne to fly, while ordinary warriors would be stuck on the ground, unable to do anything

Dragon knight contracts were typically contracts between soon as either master and servant or as equal status conition to the strong, but that created an obvious paradox The weak that needed the power of dragons were unable to obtain their recognition, while the strong that obtained the dragons’ recognition didn’t need the dragons’ power to begin with Dragon knights hence becaht quite easily

That hy even if once in a while, one or teak huh some coincidental fate or lucky occurrence, they were only exceptions to the north, dragon knights, which were considered the strongest of all aerial knights, greer and fewer as well It was already quite difficult for a strong country to hts, and it was coons hired with large aht would be questionable

However, there was one country that had always reon knights had never fallen before fifty Even the weakest dragon knight would be at the Gold rank Yet it was incoons’ recognition

Some people said that the Bardi Eon Gods, while others said that they had a long-lasting contract with the dragon species But no e nu to any of the Bardi Empire’s enemies This was also one of the main reasons why the Auland E cohts as a potential enemy and threat

Halent Winston was the subcoht squadron (as the commander would always be a member of the royalty, so the current commander was Emperor Orloss) He was a famous warrior as ranked in the top ten in all of Bardi as well as sixty-seventh in the "Eich’s Faht&8221;

In this current generation, the Bardi Ehts Only sixty out of the seventy-tould be sent out on cans, and these sixty were split up into twelve small teams of five each Halent personally cohts

Setting his personal status aside, his personal coon steed was the adult Blue Dragon, "Dark and Cloudy Windstorons

Halent reached the Legend rank as a warrior ten years ago and possessed a legendary artifact called the Thunder Horn He had the astonishingover one hundred griffin knights in a single battle, and he was a fao, he quietly left the capital of the Bardi Ehtrain City, which caused quite a cohtrain City was a classic example of a well-fortified city But ever since Archduke Halent started living here, not only did he bring a large number of military personnel with hireat amount of money and resources into the city’s fortifications Numerous cannons and toere constructed, while the city’s walls were reinforced e After all, constructing a well-defended fort ainst

There were no other countries even close to Nightrain City Halent’s actions seeless However, after the "Port Victoria incident&8221; occurred, since Nightrain City was close to Port Victoria as well as located on the only road to Port Victoria, everyone learned just what Archduke Halent had been on guard against—the undead

While the Bardi nobles were still shocked at Archduke Halent’s decision to leave the capital and coed to completely eradicate all traces of bandits in the nearby vicinity in just the short tions could constantly be seen in the skies above the city, Nightrain City received a new naonrain City a sudden rainstor it more convenient for us to enter Since that Archduke Halent was also from the capital, I orried that ould run into hiuise, so I had Carolyn and Lilith switch identities with each other, with Carolyn being herself and Lilith being the ain, there was no more worry about authenticity But if at all possible I didn’t want to have to ht So, onrain City as inconspicuously as possible and obtain infor whether or not I should trywith this Archduke

In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that it was on the only road to Port Victoria, I wouldn’t have even passed by this city if I could help it

"Carolyn, what do you know about that Halent? Have you ever met him?&8221;

"He… he’s… a bit scary&8221;

Carolyn, as busy hugging her maid Lilith, took quite a while to answer my question, and her tone of voice contained an inexplicable a so fro, I learned the basic view that Bardi nobles had of Archduke Halent He never participated in any noble parties, nor did he ever hold any social events If he absolutely had to participate in sohis sword in the presence of Eains to be onized many nobles, he was deeply approved by the military leadership and civilian ure and representative of the military faction

As for why Carolyn was so scared of him, it turned out to be because her father, as a Duke equivalent to Duke Halent in rank at a time when he hadn’t been promoted to Archduke yet, had requested the then Duke Halent to teach swordshter and son

This was obviously supposed to be a way for nobles to establish closer relationships and friendly ties with each other However, Halent took it at face value and strictly trained Carolyn and her younger brother as seriously as possible He forced full s that were used to an idle lifestyle suffered terribly Later, even when Carolyn’s father requested that Halent go easy on the

"Go easy on them? Since they’re currently my subordinates, I can’t possibly allow them to be insufficient as military personnel Even if Emperor Orloss himself requests me, my answer is still the sa tasks, or die!&8221;

Halent had a seehout the garden, but for some unknown reason, nobody in Carolyn’s faht about hi its own territory
