Even with grave injuries and his aura fading fast, Roland still fought without giving a single inch.
His massive dragon body blocked the sky above Cloudhaven City like an unshakable mountain, holding firm over the city behind him and the secluded Jared within it.
"Roar—!"
Roland let out a furious roar that shook the sky.
Pain rode inside the sound, along with something final. Then his enormous tail whipped across with crushing force and slammed toward a Celestial Palace Elder in front of him, driving the man back several steps.
But the instant his old force had spent itself and the new force had not yet risen, the other two Celestial Palace Elders struck together.
Two golden spells carrying the highest laws of the Celestial Palace condensed into giant blades of light and smashed into his dragon body with world-breaking force.
Boom!
A thunderous blast ripped through the air.
Roland's enormous body shook hard. Golden scales flew everywhere, and two more horrifying wounds split open across him, both deep enough to show bone as dragon blood burst out in a spray.
His aura dropped even lower in an instant.
His huge body swayed in midair, and his movements grew slower and slower, but he still forced himself steady and fixed his gaze on the Celestial Palace army ahead without retreating half a step.
The battlefield below was even worse.
The Sky Dragon Clan had started with dozens of giant dragons strong enough to dominate a battlefield.
Now, fewer than twenty were still in the sky, still fighting.
As for the rest of the clansmen, some had already died after fighting to the end.
Their massive dragon bodies had lost all life and dropped out of the sky into the city, kicking up clouds of dust when they hit.
Others had been so badly injured that their dragon wings were broken.
Their auras were barely there, and they had no strength left to fight. All they could do was lie in the ruins and watch their own people keep battling through blood.
But of the Sky Dragon Clan warriors still holding the line on that battlefield, not one shrank back.
Not one showed a trace of fear.
Every one of them knew exactly what stood behind them.
Cloudhaven City.
And their Dragon Emperor, Jared.
The Dragon Emperor was still inside the city, still in seclusion, not yet out.
That made them his last line.
They would die before they gave way.
"Clan Chief..."
A Sky Dragon elder fought his way over to Roland's side, his whole body soaked in blood. Golden dragon blood had drenched his clothes, his wings were torn to pieces, and what little strength he had left was running out.
His voice came rough and low, carrying straight through the slaughter. "We... we can't hold on much longer. Our clansmen are almost wiped out. If this keeps going, it won't be long before the Sky Dragon Clan is completely annihilated, and Cloudhaven City won't be defended either!"
Roland slowly turned his massive dragon head and looked down.
He saw the bodies of his own people. He saw the clansmen still fighting in blood, still refusing to fall back even when they had only the last thread of strength left.
Something tore through his eyes for an instant, so deep it looked like it might split him open from the inside.
Then it was gone, crushed under something harder.
"Then we hold anyway!"
His voice dropped low as he spoke. It was weak, scraped raw by blood loss, but the force in it still shook the air.
