Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 696: Section 691 - A Dragon Comes from Afar

"But Valenya is not my enemy!"

Minante was also in a tricky situation. From his personal standpoint, he would support Chen Fei in taking down that detestable legion commander without hesitation.

However, from his uncle's standpoint, he couldn't just stand by and watch an ally's commander be taken down by someone else. After all, everyone was on the same side, and although there was face-slapping among them, the lower ranks could die off casually, but the higher-ups still had to maintain some decorum. It wasn't necessary to go to the extent of a life-and-death struggle.

"Are you out of your mind? You are also an enemy to me!"

Chen Fei unmercifully exposed the relationship between their positions, really wanting to give the other side a slap to wake him up, he had even forgotten his own role.

Of course, he stood on the opposite side of the Rebel Army (Righteous Army). Since Minante chose to consider Valenya as one of his own, well, they might as well all go to the opposite side because he wasn't really going to show any mercy.

"..."

Chen Fei's words left Minante completely at a loss for words.

He still thought they were good friends, but this damn position turned things awkward. Logically, after they had dealt with the "Undying Pigeon" legion together, they should now be fighting each other, but neither had the intention of starting a fight, creating a rather bizarre atmosphere.

This war originally had nothing to do with Chen Fei, but he had unexpectedly been dragged into it, leading to the situation with Minante they'd landed in today. Was it his fault?

"'Rookie', give me face, just consider it a favor you owe me."

Minante dared to swear to heaven, it wasn't for himself but for his uncle, otherwise he wouldn't beg for this favor.

Chen Fei flicked his little finger; Valenya was doomed to die, and then the "Undying Pigeon" legion would indeed be systematically annihilated from top to bottom.

One could imagine the reaction of the high command of the Righteous Army. Likely, all the pressure would suddenly fall on the only remaining complete fighting force in Nandu City, the "Radiant Tiger" legion.

His uncle, Legion Commander Befas, still planned to assist Chen Fei in investigating the extraterrestrial "Sagali" potentially lurking within the Righteous Army. Once the relationship completely soured, helping or not helping both weren't options, and ultimately, it would only benefit those parasitic species.

"A favor? Minante, you sure can say that!"

Chen Fei stood on the back of the female Metallic Giant Dragon Yilan, looking towards the "Sky Falcon" maintaining a distance of over ten meters, with Minante piloting it alone.

He hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head and said, "Alright, I'll owe you a favor, but this is an exception."

Opponents on the battlefield are just that because of their positions, but personal relationships haven't changed (a situation often seen among pilots in World War I, fighting fiercely in the sky but brothers on the ground).

"Thank you so much!"

Minante's mood compared to 24 hours ago, was utterly different. Just a day ago, he was gritting his teeth in hatred, wanting to dismember Chen Xiao'er, but now he was immensely grateful.

"Don't rush to thank me; this communication lockdown you've imposed is really annoying. Give me a dedicated communication channel."

To establish and maintain a drone swarm's laser communication relay channel, Chen Fei's drones weren't sparing in their consumption. Despite the Ground Portal Gate Management Substation backed by Blue Star opening up for free supplies, he was still worried about not being supplied on time, which could delay important matters.

"It can't be used for military purposes, and we will maintain surveillance, is that alright?"

Minante hesitated for a moment. Authorizing a channel wasn't a problem, but there were some complications.

"No problem, it's for personal use anyway."

Chen Fei planned to place this authorized communication channel in a high-end business hotel so he could contact Teacher Shen and Her Royal Highness and others at any time, without needing to occasionally act as a human relay.

Since it's all civilian communication needs, there was no difference whether it was monitored or not.

The other Ground Portal Gate Management Substation was already directly connected to Blue Star, naturally free from communication lockdown issues.

"I'll arrange it right away!"

Minante himself didn't have this authority, but his uncle did.

Now that the "Undying Pigeon" legion had collapsed, the real power in Nandu City was held by his uncle, Legion Commander Befas. A nephew's request was definitely something his uncle had to accommodate.

As long as it's not for military use, turning a blind eye didn't matter.

"I'm leaving first!"

With the PY trade completed, Chen Fei no longer lingered. He let Yilan circle over the head of the furiously roaring "Undying Pigeon" Legion Commander Valenya, while simultaneously broadcasting a message.

"Legion Commander Valenya, consider yourself lucky this time. If the 'Radiant Tiger' legion hadn't pleaded for you, tomorrow would have been the anniversary of your death."

"Little thief, just you wait!"

Valenya furiously waved a blade of Sword Qi towards the sky, which dissipated into nothing less than fifty meters away, naturally not even coming close to touching Yilan.

The combat power of a Dragon Knight wasn't just the knight himself; it also included the giant dragon.

Before this, the Legion Commander of the "Undying Pigeon" never would have imagined that his legion would be driven off by a Dragon Knight.

If he had known the future, he definitely wouldn't have brought the potentially fatal ticking time bomb, Chen Fei, back to the legion's main camp.

-

The small radar warning system installed on the rooftop of the high-end business hotel suddenly detected a strong signal source.

Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.

The electromagnetic detection waves, enhanced in power, reflected back instantaneously, even exceeding the theoretical working radius.

The identification module produced results immediately, identifying it as a Metallic Dragon, the only creature capable of triggering such a strong radar response.

Ironically, although Metallic Dragons are fierce, they can never escape radar detection; they instantly become visible as electromagnetic invisibility is virtually non-existent for them.

Riva, the chief bodyguard in charge of the entire hotel's defense, breathed a sigh of relief, assuming that it was Yilan, the female Metallic Dragon who had gone to support Chen Fei, and had likely brought him back as well.

"Chirp! ~"

The little bird perched on Princess Lin Ziyu's shoulder suddenly cocked its head.

Countless light particles in the air converged, quickly forming a screen of light.

In the atmosphere of Cangqiong Star, filled with active Elemental Energy, it, having advanced to the Fifth Rank Human Order, had ascended another level in controlling Light Elemental Energy, making the casting of "Light Mirror Spell" more successful and far less challenging than when it practiced this spell.

A fierce Metallic Dragon appeared on the light screen.

"Hmm? Is Yilan back?"

Princess Lin Ziyu did not see Chen Fei; the screen showed only a Metallic Dragon.

"Chirp! Chirp! ~~ Chirp! Chirp! ~~ Chirp! Chirp! ~~"

The feathers on the Pure Light Sparrow stood on end, issuing a rapid chirping filled with warning.

"What's wrong, Xiao Jiu?"

The little bird's unusual reaction puzzled Her Royal Highness, who tried to reach out and comfort it, but grasped at air.

Xiao Jiu suddenly flapped its wings and soared into the air, leaving her shoulder, constantly chirping.

Princess Lin Ziyu sensed something was amiss and, feeling apprehensive, turned her gaze back to the still visible light screen, her eyes narrowing.

That was not Yilan!

Her gaze landed on the tail spear of the Metallic Dragon.

The younglings of the Metallic Dragons were generally nurtured by the Silan Royal Family; thus, members of the royal offspring almost had intuitive knowledge about the habits of Metallic Dragons. The most effective and convenient way to differentiate individual Metallic Dragons was by their tail spears.

Each Metallic Dragon's tail spear differed markedly like human fingerprints, essentially unique.

The Metallic Dragon approaching the business hotel at this moment was not Yilan, but an unfamiliar Metallic Dragon.

Princess Lin Ziyu immediately recalled that Chen Fei had once encountered another adult Metallic Dragon during a fight at the Ground Portal Gate Management Substation,

which puzzled her greatly. Not only would Sky Dragon City likely have no interest in interfering with internal conflicts of the Human Race, but the Metallic Dragon community, ostensibly under the control of Sky Dragon City, was actually directly governed by the Silan Royal Family, making it highly unlikely for any dragon to disobey its management.

Situations like an adult dragon suddenly deciding to leave the "Halo" Dimensional Gate on a whim were exceptionally rare. Moreover, such a dragon would have been dealt with shortly after entering Blue Star's atmosphere; it was the same on Cangqiong Star, where dragons couldn't act as they pleased.

The origin of this adult Metallic Dragon, therefore, became highly suspicious.

"Riva, immediately activate the Composite Magic Shield; that's not Yilan, it's an unknown Metallic Dragon,"

Realizing the suspicious aspects, Princess Lin Ziyu didn't hesitate and used her walkie-talkie to alert Chief Bodyguard Riva.

Not every Metallic Dragon was a friendly force; being a member of the Silan Royal Family, she knew this all too well.

"It's not Yilan, that is... activate the Composite Magic Shield now! Quickly!"

Riva responded instantly, shouting urgently.

He couldn't believe he had let his guard down, almost mistaking the approaching Metallic Dragon for their own female Metallic Dragon, Yilan. Without the large Tactical Composite Magic Shield, a Tactical Alchemy Device, the entire hotel building would not withstand several assaults from a Metallic Dragon.

"Chirp!"×1

...

"Chirp!"×17

Pure Light Sparrows nearby flew over, circling above the hotel with Xiao Jiu.

"Chirp!"×231

The number of Pure Light Sparrows gathering began to increase.

Coming to the rooftop and seeing this scene in the sky, Her Royal Highness suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
