Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 289: The Imperial Guards’ First Battle, Subverting Common Sense

Chapter 289: The Imperial Guards’ First Battle, Subverting Common Sense

“what is this?”

The Holy Knight Rand looked at the burly figure that appeared behind his student with a shocked look on his face. It was a giant wearing golden armor and with a pair of sharp dragon horns on his head. In his hand was a giant sword that was taller than anyone else and wider than a door panel, and another double-edged battle axe that flashed with molten flames, which made the Holy Knight tremble with fear.

“Who?”

Elijah also felt the strong pressure from behind. He turned around suddenly and saw the golden giant who just cast a shadow and completely covered him and his teacher.

The Son of the Holy Dragon could feel that the other person had the same blood as himself. There was no doubt that this was a relative of his father, but he had never seen such a person in his memory.

“Holy Dragon is above!”

The imperial guards who had traveled across thousands of miles of sea and land and were teleported here looked down at the seemingly weak young man in front of them. They could also feel the supreme bloodline hidden deep in his body. This was the purpose of their coming here.

boom! boom! boom!
The golden transmission ripples visible to the naked eye did not stop. Behind this golden giant, one warrior after another, similar to him but different from him, appeared.

“Destroy evil and eliminate all threats!”

An order with a dull metallic tremor came from under the heavy helmet that completely obscured the face. A blood-red light bloomed under the red-gold peephole, which was even more captivating than the dark red covering the sky.

However, whether it was Iliad, who was sealed as a human boy, or the holy warrior Rand, who mistakenly thought that he had summoned him inadvertently, both felt an indescribable sense of security and comfort in their hearts at this moment.

“For His Majesty the Holy Dragon!”

When the transmission waves gradually dissipated, there were already fifty-one golden giant warriors as big as metal mountains on the field. They were wearing heavy armor painted in golden color, and each of them held a terrifying weapon in his hand.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
When these giant warriors in golden armor took steps, they moved like mountains, and Iliad could clearly feel the vibrations from the ground.

“This is actually a summoning scroll?”

Paladin Rand looked at these heavily armored warriors who were burly but as swift as the wind and passed by him. The shock on his face had not yet dissipated, but he could not help but admire them.

“Probably…no?”

Eliade wanted to refute, because he felt that these golden giant warriors in front of him were all here because of him, and it was definitely not the teleportation scroll that was just activated by his teacher.

However, he didn’t know how to say it, because he had not yet revealed his identity. He was still an apprentice who had not felt the call from the Holy Light to become a paladin.

“It’s so powerful, it looks like we are saved!”

Rand ignored the basically negligible voices of his students, and his attention was completely focused on the warriors who had descended across the sea.

These warriors move lightly and swiftly, but if you look at the ground beside them, you will know that with every step they take, they will leave deep and wide footprints on the rock slabs. The footprints are so deep that they can hold a fist, and the cracks that spread along the footprints are enough to show how heavy their bodies are. The armor on them is by no means just for show.

With such a large weight, they were still able to maintain agile movements. How strong were their physiques? Their strength and speed made Rand believe that this team of only fifty-one people was enough to crush all obstacles in their way.

This was indeed the case. This group of golden giant warriors who descended did not advance in formation, but instead spread out in a semicircle, each choosing a direction and starting a massacre!

Yes, massacre. Since the sacrifice began, the demonized humans and beasts contaminated by evil spirits could not even delay the advance of this group of warriors. They only had to walk past them and these demonized creatures would be crushed into a mixture of minced meat and bone residue.

The saddest thing is that even if they paid with their lives and used their claws and sharp teeth to bite, they could not leave even a scratch on the armor of these warriors.

These monsters roamed the streets of the town, wantonly hunting and killing people, and taking pleasure in listening to the wails of intelligent creatures. They could not even break through the outermost layer of defensive light shield composed of elemental mixed holy light. They did not even touch the surface of the armor and were crushed.

However, the sacrifice has already begun, and the demons from the abyss have arrived. Conventional professionals must form teams and cooperate with each other to challenge the demons. Facing this group of warriors, they are still as small as insects.

Crack~bang!

With a slight sound of bone cracking, the ferocious head covered with thick keratin scales that could withstand the chopping of swords and knives exploded under the palm wrapped in magic alloy like a crisp and ripe fruit.

“too weak!”

Seeing the headless demon corpse fallen at his feet, Xu Carlton, the thirteenth imperial guard soldier to be transplanted with a second heart and also received a diamond kidney, looked at the blood stains on his palms, hung the Molten Axe in one hand behind his back, and chose to walk barehanded in this corrupted land.

The moment he put on the weapon, monsters formed by fallen and corrupted humans rushed towards him like a tide, but Xu Carlton simply clenched his fists and waved them casually, tearing all the monsters into pieces. Every move he made had the power to split mountains and rocks.

“With only this level of enemy, how can we prove our bravery to His Majesty the Holy Dragon?”

A soldier of the Imperial Guard standing not far away was also complaining that he was attacked by a pack of evil dogs from the abyss, but he just swung the sword in his hand, and the pack of evil dogs turned into minced meat and bones.

“Don’t worry. We are now in the middle of a super large-scale sacrificial ceremony. A high-level demon will definitely appear. We can cut off his head and prove it to Your Majesty.”

Xiu Carlton looked down at the ground, which was covered with a thick layer of flesh and blood. The monster debris that touched the ground was gradually dissolving and melting under the inconspicuous faint red light emitted from the ground.

This is the mentality shared by the Imperial Guards, which have been established for less than ten years. They are eager to step onto a battlefield of high enough standards, or fight against powerful enemies, to prove the value of the Imperial Guards to His Majesty the Holy Dragon. The Imperial Guards exist not just as an experimental army using unproven forbidden technology, they should be the ace elite of His Majesty the Holy Dragon to expand the territory and suppress all disobedience. They should be the sharpest spear and sword in the hands of the Holy Dragon.

So, the remaining residents of this town, which was pushed onto the altar by the powerful and sacrificed to the abyss as consumables, could see a group of golden giant warriors coming from nowhere, clearing and sweeping along the streets.

In awe-inspiring silence, this group of giant warriors, clad in heavy golden armor and emitting a thick golden glow, crushed one demonized creature after another, or the low-level demons that crawled out of the abyss, and watched their flesh and blood being dissolved and decomposed by sacrificial rituals over countless years, turning into nutrients sufficient to attract the arrival of higher-level demons.

Even if there were brave professionals who fought for the city and even paladins who reminded them, this group of warriors did not care. During the orderly sweep, they watched the temporary cross-border portal take shape at the cost of almost half of the town’s residents and a large number of low-level demons.

A pitch-black vortex standing in the center of the town, emitting scarlet blood light, was rotating. Although it was not as strong as the semi-permanent abyss gate that could allow the projection of the Abyss Lord to descend, it was enough to support the arrival of a high-level demon.

Specks of golden light flickered in the sacrificial field shrouded by the power of the abyss. The light seemed faint, but it was extremely tenacious. Wherever it passed, large areas of blood-red shadows were cleared away.

This is the scene that the Balor who had crossed over to the border saw when he looked down at the city. In the lord’s mansion at the highest point in the city, which had become ruins, the Balor, with destructive power and like the embodiment of fear, let out an angry roar. He felt the death of his slaves.

The furious demon’s muscles bulged like hills, reflecting the black iron luster of forged metal. His iconic demon wings suddenly spread out, causing strong winds to rage and rocks to fly.

As this high-level demon soared over the town, all the imperial guards had their eyes fixed on it.

This is a high-level demon with a great reputation and fame. Whether it is the crescent horns on the top of the head, the broad bat wings behind it, the ox tail swinging behind it, and the sturdy hooves under its feet, they are all the most classic demon images that are deeply rooted in people’s hearts.

This demon is one step further and is the top demon in the abyss, the Balor. Compared with the Balor, the Balor just lacks fire and is slightly weaker in power, but he is still undoubtedly a big demon.

Boom~
A giant demon nearly ten meters tall fell from the sky with a terrifying impact force that could flatten mountains. It directly knocked over a member of the Imperial Guard and sent him flying hundreds of meters away. It then knocked down an entire block of houses, leaving a deep, undulating gully on the ground before finally crashing into a bell and drum tower and stopping its charge.

“Damn you bastard dragonborn!”

The Balor, whose eyes were like burning coals, looked angrily at the crumbling bell and drum tower hundreds of meters away. Under his gaze, the tower collapsed.

But in the dense smoke and dust, a warrior whose golden light had been shattered and whose armor had lost its luster, shook his body and stood up. It could be clearly seen that there was a visible dent on the chest armor of this imperial guard, but it did not affect his movements.

This was the reason why the great demon was so angry, that the half-breed dragonborn who had endured his head-on collision did not die. What made him even angrier was that this half-breed who could barely walk drew out his sword, took increasingly firm steps, and charged at him without hesitation.

“die!”

The Balrog angrily drew out a pitch-black heavy sword that was shrouded in an ominous aura, and slashed at the imperial guard who was charging at him with the force of splitting a mountain.

clang~
The Imperial Guard held the sword across his chest and blocked the attack from the great demon, but the great demon, who was at the ultimate level, possessed such extreme power that the brave Imperial Guard paid a heavy price for this defensive action.

At the moment he raised his sword to block, his body suddenly sank to the ground, half of his body was submerged in the ground, and blood gushed out from the gaps in his armor like a fountain.

The great demon who had chopped this hybrid dragonborn, whom he had never seen before, into the ground with one sword was not happy about it, but even more furious, because the imperial guard was still not dead.

“Go away!”

The great demon, who was already extremely angry, kicked the imperial guard on the head, causing the guard, whose body was half sunk into the ground, to fly backwards, drawing a miserable arc, shedding countless blood, and crashing into the ruins of the town.

“Bastard!”

The great demon brandished his giant sword and moved his hooves, ready to rush into the ruins, because the dragonborn’s life force was still there, he was still alive.

But he no longer had a chance, as a blazing light was projected from afar, and a golden warrior with similar armor but different in appearance came with heavy steps, charging towards the demon like a raging bull.

“Damn it, another can like this!”

The demon who struck the light spear away with a sword looked at the imperial guards who threw weapons at him. When he saw that the other party was dressed similarly, the demon’s eyes, like charcoal, began to burn violently.

Fearful gaze
It was still useless. The fear aura that had always worked when the high-level demons in the abyss used it to intimidate lower creatures weaker than themselves lost its effect at this moment.

More and more imperial guards appeared in the great demon’s field of vision. Although there was no creature with strength similar to his, the demon felt an unknown fear at this moment.

However, the Balor demon quickly cut off this trace of fear that should not have arisen, let out a furious roar, and collided with the imperial guards who had gathered in an army formation.
“I will kill you all, you material world insects!”

Boom! Bang! Swoosh!
The charge of the great demon, famous throughout the world, was quickly contained. With only five guards, the balor had to distract himself from resisting, because the weapons in the hands of these damn dragon-blooded bastards could tear his skin, cut open his muscles, and cut his bones.

“What a strong army!”

Any transcendent with a little knowledge would be shocked when seeing this scene. It is not uncommon for low-level transcendents to gather in groups to fight against transcendents of a higher level.

Such things often occur below the realm of extreme intent. Above the extreme intent, such things basically do not exist. There is an insurmountable gap between the shining gold and the extreme intent.

Normally, no matter how many golds participated in the siege, as long as Jiyi was willing to spend time, they could all be killed. But now, this common sense was being subverted and distorted…
