Only giants such as dragons, beings as extraordinary as the phoenix itself, could stand against a phoenix. With a command from Overlord Blade Ruthless, hundreds of Dragon Knights took to the skies, launching an assault. Despite the inconsistent quality of the Dragon Knights, their sheer numbers were overwhelming.
Especially those adult giant dragons, each with a wingspan of fifty to sixty meters, each carrying an Orc hero on its back. Not only could the dragons spew Dragon Breath and engage in close combat, but the heroes on their backs were equally formidable in battle.
In a one-plus-one situation, they were in no way inferior to an ordinary phoenix. Several Dragon Knights banded together and managed to fight the Phoenix King to a stalemate.
The smaller phoenixes were even overpowered by the Dragon Knights, beaten without any chance to retaliate.
