Chapter 345: End of Selection and Target of Ulthuan
Following the Holy Blood Knights with difficulty, they saw many more along the way. Many candidates were seriously injured and fell to the ground, and some of them were even in an unknown state of life or death. Some of the Holy Blood Knights grabbed them and flew into the sky, probably to find medical treatment for the survivors.

It seems that most people couldn't survive the attack of the Chaos Egg.

Leo only saw the other two teams running forward with the Holy Blood Knights.

There are three people in one team and four people in another team. Together with the three of them, it makes exactly ten people.

Seeing this, Leo and the other two were extremely happy.

At this time, Leo and his companions also stopped, and then they saw a scene that shocked their lives.

A cultist who looked very powerful was constantly casting magic, and waves of chaos flames set the nearby forest on fire.

The flames seemed to destroy everything.

The candidates felt a stinging pain all over their bodies from the burning heat in front of them, and even breathing became difficult.

The Holy Blood Knight in front of them stood in front of them as if nothing had happened.

"Stand here and watch, hold on!"

"Yes! Your lord!"

There were more than a dozen golden dragons hovering above the cultist's head.

From time to time, they spewed golden flames from their mouths, but did not kill the cultist directly.

"Impossible! This is impossible! What kind of creature is this!!!" Wasmer was desperate. He couldn't understand why so many dragons appeared here, and his last trump card seemed like a joke in front of these dragons.

The golden flames devoured the Tzeentchian flames released by Vasmer.

As if meeting its nemesis, the golden flames burned towards Wasmer's body.

The leading dragon was indeed Laun, and the other dozen dragons also had their own masters on their backs.

Laun was also feeling the power and ability of these dragons, and now he couldn't be more satisfied.

"Osiris, stop playing! Kill him!"

After understanding what Laun said, Osiris seemed to take a deep breath, and the dragon flame that seemed to devour the entire forest directly wrapped up Wasmer.

In the painful struggle, the cultist was completely reduced to nothingness, and not even his filthy soul escaped.

When the dust settled, Lawn also landed on the ground riding the dragon. He looked at the group of candidates and said with a smile, "See? This dragon will be your mount from now on.

I have seen your scores and performances. Although you still have a lot of room for improvement, as I said, you have qualified for now. However, each of you is not allowed to be complacent.

You can become dragon knights because Bretonnia needs fresh blood, not because you are strong enough!
You must view it as a mission and an honor. Fighting for the Emperor will be everything to you in the future.

It's not enough for you to become a dragon knight. If you commit any blasphemous acts or are deemed unqualified, you will be replaced. There are many people in Bretonnia who want to replace you!"

Lawn used both carrot and stick to hit these young people.

To be honest, the number of dragons is not enough to satisfy the Holy Blood Knights, but the Holy Grail Knights can no longer be produced. As a king, Laun is not only thinking about the present but also the future. He must also cultivate the reserve force of young people. "Leo? Your father told me that you will succeed. I didn't expect you to stand out. I saw that your shooting score is exceptionally good. Maybe you can play a special role in the dragon cavalry in the future."

Listening to Lawn's encouragement, Leo was also very excited, and the people around him also showed envy to him. This thing was almost like being received by the leaders of the country. In any case, Leo's future will definitely be much smoother, and this can be regarded as some compensation from Lawn for the support he once gave to Duke Aldabert.

After the assessment, everyone returned to Cologne again. Soon, the names of the top ten candidates spread throughout Cologne and then throughout Bretonnia.

Lawn did not choose to disclose the death toll to the public, and he also prohibited Leo and others from telling the outside world about the assessment content and the death toll.

Leo and others knew that among the 100 candidates, the death toll reached 25, and nearly ten were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness. The casualty rate was close to one-third, which was really terrifying for an assessment.

Some were happy and some were sad. Count Aldabert held a banquet directly in his own castle, and countless people came to congratulate and curry favor with him. Those who knew the situation knew that Count Aldabert was going to become rich this time!
It is conceivable that a family with a dragon knight will become a first-class family in the whole of Bretonnia in the future. Even if there is no direct promotion in title, its reputation and strength will inevitably develop rapidly.

Lawn did not prohibit this situation either. No matter how it develops, classes will always exist.

Leo and others also got their own dragons. In the next month, these one hundred dragon riders began training and became familiar with their mounts.

And these dragon-customized equipment have also been delivered to Bretonnia.

Under the operation of Lecard and Primarch Ferrus, the killed insects had their shells peeled off, and these chitinous shells were sprayed from black to gold.

It has to be said that the Primarch's forging technology is very sophisticated, and the chitin armor of each dragon seems to be tailor-made.

It is strong and lightweight, and has almost no effect on the mobility of these dragons.

The long-range weapons are two heavy bombs carried on both sides of the dragon's body. The extraordinary physical strength of the Golden Dragon can also support more ammunition.

After a series of operations, Terra's air force has taken shape and has become combat-ready.

Meanwhile, inside the Eight Peaks Mountain, thanks to the efforts of two Primarchs skilled in forging, Vulkan and Ferrus, the broken gate has been mostly repaired.

Even Ferrus, who had merged with the Wind of Death, used the huge magic power provided by the Wind of Death to briefly activate the gate, but the activation only lasted for one second before being interrupted again. However, everything showed that their direction was correct.

"Volkan, the gate is now lacking a huge energy source, otherwise we will not be able to verify whether this creation can function normally." Ferrus put down the tools in his hands and said to Volkan.

"Father has found a suitable energy source. There is no better way for us to stay here any longer. Come with me to the Empire. We will probably be needed in the next war."

And the war to which Vulcan refers is the war of Ulthuan.

Zhang Heng also thought that the time had come to completely resolve the crisis of the whirlpool.

In addition to the human army, two other forces are also ready.

The Lizardmen of Lustria are no longer threatened by the Skaven, and the steadily increasing population and the equipment provided by the priests have almost stabilized the situation in Lustria.

Under Zhang Heng's instruction, the Lizardmen decided for the first time to launch a foreign war for what they believed to be the Ancient Saints. In addition to the Lizardmen, there was also the Dwarf army. Although the number of the Dwarf army was not large, Thorgrim and the various clans still selected an army of more than a thousand people to go to Ulthuan together with the human army.

Entire regiments of soldiers boarded the warships and sailed out of the harbor.

Laun's dragon army also directly mobilized almost all the Holy Blood Dragon Knights to fly to Ulthuan, while the remaining non-Holy Blood Dragon Knights stayed in Bretonnia for further training.
