Locke’s words reminded Queen Melissa of her sorrowful memories of her husband.

She asked Locke, “Are you willing to be my knight forever?”

Upon hearing this, Locke was stunned. This was impossible!

“I am a noble of the Kingdom of Dunmei. If I become your knight, I will be be beheaded by the king!”

But soon, Melissa turned around and sighed softly. “Sigh, sorry for making a fool of myself! I suddenly recalled the past. The situation in the city is extremely bad. All communication in the city has been destroyed. The most important thing now is to restore the communication tower!”

After saying that, Queen Melissa took out a map. She had lost all hope, but because of what Duke William had brought her, it gave her hope again!

“One of you will take the necklace, and the other will take this hairpin. When they see these personal items of mine, they will do their best to help!

“As long as we repair the communication tower and send all the supplies over, we can start our final resistance!”

Upon receiving the order, the both of them armed themselves. After getting their equipment ready, the two of them split up and went to the communication tower.

Locke quickly discovered the culprit behind the destruction of the communication tower.

There was a giant winged poisonous lizard guarding the communication tower. Everyone who approached the communication tower was melted into a pool of blood by the creature’s poison jet.

Looking at the pool of blood on the ground, Locke could not help but say in disdain, “How disgusting!

“Eliza, come out quickly! Stop sleeping!”

Perhaps it had sensed the disgusting scene before her, Eliza did not respond. No matter how Locke called out to her, she did not move.

“…”

Helpless, Locke could only summon the Steel Dragon.

Although the Steel Dragon did not possess any powerful and effective attack methods, its immunity to all elements allowed it to prevent the venom from hitting Locke.

The spies hiding nearby saw the huge Steel Dragon, and immediately crept toward Locke.

However, Locke’s detection spell quickly discovered them. Locke immediately took out the spear in his hand and attacked the assassins who were hiding in the dark.

The fight with the poisonous winged lizard did not last long. When the soldiers in the city saw that the giant poisonous lizard was being held back, they immediately surrounded it.

Locke immediately took out the necklace in his hand. “Soldiers, listen to my command! Attack the communication tower!”

Seeing the necklace in Locke’s hands, the soldiers behind him went crazy as if they had been drugged. They fiercely attacked the Poison Lizard under the communication tower.

Using this opportunity, Locke immediately found a safe place to cast his spell.

This was the Thunderstorm spell that he had secretly learned from Clifford! Soon, black clouds gathered in the sky. As Locke’s magic level was considerably low, the clouds were not that dense. However, it was enough for Locke to kill this lizard!

Somehow, the lizard detected the beginnings of the spell, and it realized that something was wrong and wanted to stop Locke from casting. However, it was useless because the Steel Dragon helf it in place. No matter how hard it tried, it could not break free.

After casting the Thunderstorm spell, Locke raised the spear in his hand and absorbed all the lightning power in the sky into the spearhead.

He jumped up and used the auxiliary wings to fly toward the poisonous lizard’s head.

Seeing Locke enter its attack range, it opened its mouth to shoot out poisonous gas, but it was hit by one of the Steel Dragon’s claws, causing the lizard to swallow all the venom that it was about to spit out.

Locke used this opportunity to stab the spear into its head. The power of lightning surged into the lizard’s ugly head, blowing it to pieces. Locke immediately cast a magic barrier to block the disgusting remains of the lizard’s head from flying everywhere.

“Congratulations to the host for killing the Poison Lizard. You have gained 50,000 experience and 500 Merchant Shop Points.”

After the battle ended, the maintenance staff at the communication tower immediately walked over.

Locke stood on the tower and saw the huge magical waves in the distance. He knew that Clifford had begun fighting on his end!

There were a total of four communication towers, so Locke’s mission did not end there. After giving some instructions, he flew toward the next communication tower.

Queen Melissa, who was waiting in the castle, was very anxious, but soon, her magic communication device picked up a signal.

“My Queen, this is the Imperial Guards!”

Upon hearing the voice, Melissa immediately stood up and threw her wide skirt to the ground. Just like that, she stood naked in the room and commanded the army to retaliate against the enemy.

With the first army holding up their own, they quickly regained control over a corner of the city.

With the recovery of the second communication tower, the city defense was completely restored. All the soldiers were doing everything in an orderly manner under the queen’s command.

The two dukes outside the city realized that the connections they had within the city were breaking off one after another and they became anxious!

Reina threw the communication device in his hand to the ground and stomped on it!

“You good-for-nothings! You can’t let her escape just like that! We had her completely under our control!”

With that said, he returned to the command center to cook up a retaliation plan again the queen.

With his rich experience, Clifford quickly regained control of the third communications tower from the enemy. He stood at the top of the tower and looked into the distance. He realized that the magical waves in Locke’s direction were very chaotic.

Sensing that something was wrong, he immediately left instructions for the soldiers to repair the communication tower and rushed in that direction.

Meanwhile, Locke was feeling extremely uncomfortable, because a terrifying man had appeared before him. This terrifying man had fused himself with a blood dragon, and Locke was completely helpless against him. If not for the Steel Dragon’s help, Locke would have already died under this unknown man’s fist!

Seeing that things were about to go down south really fast, Locke immediately shouted for Eliza, “Hurry up and come out! If you don’t come out now, you might never see me again!”

Sensing Locke’s intense emotions, Eliza finally appeared behind him.

The two dragons and one man continuously attacked the unknown man who had fused with the blood dragon, but it was not very useful. Even if the attack landed on his body, and his blood spurted everywhere, the blood would immediately return to his body! This unknown man did not suffer any damage under the fierce attacks!

Clifford, who had just arrived at the scene, noticed this special ability of the unknown man and hid nearby to observe his weakness.
