Others Summon Dragons, I Summon Legendary Knights novel Chapter 51

Chapter 51: The Citadel – Scar’s Plans

A great sound reverberated through the massive hall as one half of the towering double door, completely made out of unknown metal, pulled off its hinges, connected to the doorframe for years unknown, and fell as the roots blocking it broke, splinters flying everywhere.

Mountain leaned his shield against the doorframe and pushed the other still-standing door open with one hand, allowing sunlight to flood the room, making his armour gleam.

His cloak fluttered as he picked his massive shield and led the march, not even giving a glance to Scar, who scowled after frowning hard.

What appeared before them was the forecourt, and three four-feet-tall ants that roamed the court were now attracted toward them.

Two Sword and Shield Knights charged with Mountain, blocking the ants’ sharp mandibles with their shields and plunging their longswords through the ants’ hard carapaces, killing them instantly.

After that, Mountain, leading his twenty, went straight to the damaged portcullis below the twenty-feet-tall wall where Ballista assembled his Bow Knights at the walkway on top.

The sound of armour clinking and ironclad boots striking the stone floor filled the air, attracting the countless numbers of ants lurking far beyond the wall, in the ruins of what looked like an ancient Greek city, with fallen statues and stone houses reduced to rubble.

In the distance stood a towering golden-armoured ant. It was a giant compared to the others, standing at a height of almost fourteen feet, with plated legs strong enough to bring down sturdy buildings made entirely out of ancient bricks.

Chained to its back was a small pulsing red core, the dungeon core, and the dungeon boss!

Godfrey ascended the wall, squinting at the state of it. The wall had numerous holes, obviously made by the ants, and some parts had deep burns as if magma had been splattered against them.

Other than that, the embrasures were heavily damaged, a clear sign that the ants had already conquered the wall before.

He narrowed his eyes and turned back to the forecourt as Mountain tore the steel bars of the portcullis out so he and his men could pass.

The ants were stirring, their antennae waving frantically as if communicating or... receiving orders from the dungeon boss who had already sensed the signs of life on the wall it thought it had claimed.

"Isaac. Stay close to Mountain," Godfrey said, and Isaac responded with a nod before jogging after the towering armoured knights, only to be shocked at the number of ants outside, momentarily freezing at the gate.

"Come up." As if waiting for Godfrey to say that, Joana pulled her sister to the top of the wall, relieved that she was away from the guild party.

At the top, she saw Isaac, looking small and out of place among the knights. "Are you sure it’s safe to leave him out there?" she asked as the Bow Knights began to launch arrows at the charging tide of ants, who must have received the command from their leader.
