Zither Emperor Chapter 386 Chapter 118 Pegasus Knight Part 2

386: Chapter 118 Pegasus Knight (Part 2) 386: Chapter 118 Pegasus Knight (Part 2) The burnished silver armor shimmered in the sunlight with circles of magical symbols pulsating on its surface, undeniably indicating the presence of demon silver; furthermore, the armor might have contained magic formations with special effects.

“Pegasus Knights,” thought Ye Yinzhu.

Both the Pegasus and their riders bore a special symbol—a septagram, which differed from the hexagrams monly seen on members and symbols of the Magic Guild.

The septagram, with its extra point and seven differently colored angles, represented Falan and its seven towers.

Thus, the septagram was also known as the Faran star, the emblem of Falan.

Perhaps on the Continent, there were some who did not recognize the Red Cross Shield Emblem of the Milan Empire, but none would be ignorant of the Faran septagram.

Aside from the Faran star, every knight’s helmet bore the mark of a Pegasus.

“The Pegasus Warriors of Falan have e to wele us,” Yue Hui said, his voice trembling slightly with excitement as he dismounted from his Black Panther and respectfully saluted the approaching Pegasus Knights, his right hand on his left chest.

Ye Yinzhu sat still on the back of his velociraptor, wondering what the bat strength of these one hundred Pegasus Knights—each acpanied by a rank seven Magical Beast—would be?

Surrounded by rings of green halo, the Pegasus Knights revealed their strength to Ye Yinzhu before they even touched down.

They were all at least Green rank of intermediate level or above.

Green rank plus rank seven beasts—although their bat power couldn’t contend with Behemoth Beasts or rank nine Magical Beasts, it was unlikely that ordinary dragons of the seventh or eighth rank could get the better of them.

The air force, that was an air force!

Remembering Marshall Martin’s grief over the accidental harm inflicted upon the 500 Falcon Dragon Knights, one could understand the significance of air force power in group army bat.

Reflecting on his Qin City, despite possessing powerful Behemoth Beasts on the ground, they sadly had no air force to speak of.

By now, the Pegasus Knights had landed and, after a short run to decelerate, came to a gentle stop.

Up close, the size of these Pegasus became clear.

With a body length of around five meters and a height close to two, they seemed no smaller than Eric Min Long, their ruby-like eyes sparkling with life, their wings elegantly folded, exuding an air of nobility.

The only difference from unicorns was the lack of a single horn on their heads.

Ye Yinzhu had read that the wings were the primary weapons of such Pegasus.

Being high-level wind attribute Magical Beasts, their ability to manipulate the wind was potent.

Their wings served not only for flight but were also the most effective tools in summoning the wind element.

The leading Pegasus bore a particularly formidable knight.

Looking in his thirties, he appeared even larger than the stalwart Heavy Sword Warrior Oliveira.

Broad-shouldered, the knight’s coppery face was both resolute and calm.

His golden, needle-like short hair stood upright, and he gripped a heavy spear parable to a Dragon Spear in his right hand.

The Pegasus beneath him was larger than its counterparts, and the mane around its neck shone with a golden hue.

Mounted high, the towering knight nodded slightly at Ye Yinzhu’s group, a gesture of greeting.

Tapping his helmet with his spear, he announced, “Praise Falan, Gerard, the Holy Pegasus Knight, on behalf of Falan, weles the Milan delegation.”

Xiang Luan urged her Unicorn forward a few steps.

As the representative of the Milan Imperial Family, she naturally held the highest status among her group, “Praise Falan, greetings to you, honorable Holy Pegasus Knight.”

Gerard’s gaze swept past Xiang Luan.

Obviously, her beauty did not captivate him; instead, he spent more time looking at the Unicorn beneath her.

Oliveira, astride his Giant Water Dragon, moved to Ye Yinzhu’s side, as it was apparent that this ceremonial exchange did not require their intervention.

Ye Yinzhu whispered, “Brother Oliveira, what does Holy Knight mean?”

Oliveira replied telepathically, “Falan’s organization has always been different from that of the Eight Continent Countries.

Although Falan isn’t large, it boasts twelve Guardian Knight Groups, each with ten thousand Falan Guardian Knights.

The leader of each knight group is a Holy Knight.

This Gerard is likely one of the twelve prominent Holy Knights of Falan.

I’ve heard from Grandfather that each of Falan’s Holy Knights is truly powerful.

This man might look young, but his strength is probably not inferior to my grandfather or Grandfather Xi Duofu.

As the mander of one of the three most famous Knight Groups of Falan—the Legions of Pegasus Knights—he is definitely among the top three Holy Knights.

Falan sending him to greet us is a great honor bestowed upon the Empire.”

By this time, Yue Hui had also stepped forward to show respect to Falan—he had dismounted from his Black Panther earlier and approached Gerard’s Pegasus, hand on his chest in salute, “Holy Knight Gerard, do you remember me?”

Gerard looked down, his gaze landing on Yue Hui, and his stern face softened with a rare smile, “Ah, it’s the young brother Yue Hui!

I’ve heard you’re now the chairman of the Milan Mage’s Guild.

Congratulations.”

Hearing Gerard, who appeared to be in his thirties, call Yue Hui his junior, the Milan envoy immediately caused a stir, of course, the motion was only among the Dragon Cavalry and did not include Reaper 500.

What was even more surprising was that, upon hearing Gerard call himself his junior, Yue Hui not only wasn’t angry but somewhat excitedly said, “Indeed, I am your junior.

Praise Falan, Sir Gerard still remembers me.

Back then, it was you who sent me out of Faran.

Many years have passed, and you are still as gallant as ever, while I have aged.”

Gerard gave a slight smile and said, “Please, envoys of Milan.

Junior Yue Hui, once we enter the Holy City we can catch up, there will be no delay.”

“Yes.” Yue Hui’s respect made the Milan warriors desire even more to unveil the mysteries of Faran.

At this moment, most of them were guessing whether this Knight was truly older than Sorcerer Yue Hui.

Gerard turned his horse around, and the Pegasus beneath him let out a whinny.

Instead of taking flight again, he led the other Pegasus Knights at the front, guiding the way for the Milan envoy.

Seeing Yue Hui show such great respect to Gerard, Xiang Luan couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled, particularly when she thought about the calm look Gerard had given her, feeling somewhat dissatisfied in her heart.

Could it be that she wasn’t as attractive as a Unicorn?

“Grandfather Yue Hui, who is this Gerard?

Is he very powerful?” Xiang Luan couldn’t help but ask.

Yue Hui gestured to Xiang Luan to be silent and said in a low voice, “Sir Gerard, the Knight, is ranked second among the twelve Knights of Faran.

His strength cannot simply be described as powerful.

Long ago, when I had first arrived in Faran, he had already reached the strength of a Ninth Rank Zi rank War Master.

Whether he has made further breakthroughs since then, no one can say for sure.

Even if he hasn’t broken through to a level above Rainbow-grade, his years of accumulation are too terrifying to simply be described by that word.

The twelve Knights of Milan rank just below the seven Tower Masters in terms of status.

Of course, they are also the most loyal guardians of the seven Tower Masters.”

Ninth Rank Zi rank.

Those four simple words had put an end to everyone’s speculation.

Ye Yinzhu and Oliveira standing beside him both had a change in expression.

Ninth Rank Zi rank was, to most people, an existence close to a god!

To cultivate Douqi to such a stage, one could certainly fight an entire legion single-handedly.

Yue Hui continued, “When I first arrived in Faran, Sir Gerard was already as he is now, and I know of a Mage who entered Faran thirty years earlier than I did, and Gerard looked the same even then.

A simple calculation, Sir Gerard, he must have reached an advanced age of over a hundred years, don’t you agree he deserves respect?

To be greeted by Sir Gerard is truly more than I deserve.”

Shocked, Xiang Luan looked at Yue Hui, “But, he’s just a Pegasus Knight!

A Pegasus is merely a rank seven Magical Beast.

How could such a powerful person have only a rank seven mount?”

Yue Hui shook his head and said, “No, you are mistaken.

Sir Gerard’s mount is the Golden Mane Pegasus King.

It is a rank Nine Beast, furthermore, it is an Advanced rank Nine superior magical beast.

Now, no more talk, we are about to arrive at the Holy City, and caution is paramount.”

The team continued to advance, and the hundred Pegasus Knights ahead of them did not make a sound other than marching, maintaining ramrod-straight postures as if everything in the outside world was irrelevant to them.

They walked from morning until the afternoon, not stopping for a break, and as Gerard, the Knight, didn’t speak, naturally the people of Milan didn’t dare to stop either.

The terrain gradually inclined, and as the sun began to set, they suddenly realized there was no road ahead.

In front of them was a cliff, yes, a cliff, extending from left to right and stretching far into the distance.

From the top of the cliff to the ground below, there was a height of over five hundred meters.

At this moment, however, what caught the attention of Ye Yinzhu and the others was not this, but rather the massive city beneath the cliff.

It was an enormous city that could not be described by its area alone.

From their vantage point on the cliff above, they couldn’t see the edges of the great city.

Who would say Milan City was the largest city on the Continent?

It should be the city before their eyes.

Most eye-catching among this colossal city were seven emblematic structures which they could clearly see even from the farthest distance.

Those were seven towers, the symbol of Faran, Faran’s Seventh Tower.
