Chapter 265. How to destroy dragons
(5) + Dragon hunting (1)
“Rather, my respect for the saintess is growing more than my fear of dragons. Some of the soldiers call them guardian deities... Umm, for now, I'm ordering them to shut down.”
“oh?”
The reason the commander noticed it was simple.
This is because to dare to call anything other than the god of the holy kingdom a god is a way of thinking that is tantamount to heresy.
“I never thought he would be able to handle such a gigantic dragon... Isn't it an achievement that no other saint or saint has ever accomplished?”
Nelvania smiled wryly at his words as if they were praising her.
Even if you don't like the intention, you have no choice but to understand it.
In reality, fear outweighs respect.
Still, I can't ignore her.
The only way to survive is to bow one's head in the face of great power.
In fact, even the soldiers who praise her now are nothing more than flattery, fearing to incur Nelvania's wrath.
Respect earned through force is not at all welcome.
For some reason, Nelvania had to taste the bitterness.
More than everything you've been adorning.
I just thought that the dragon downloaded from ‘him' would be more effective.
“Anyway, the Kingdom of Ernesia will attack tomorrow as well.”
“Daewoong...
“Of course I have to ask the dragon.”
she said with a wry smile.
“Or do you really think that Ernesia’s army will defeat the dragon?”
“Not really.”
he asserted.
“Subduing a dragon is like something out of a fairy tale. In reality, no matter how many troops we mobilize, it is impossible.”
“Did you have a record?”
“Yeah, it's actually about the Wyvern. Not many people have seen dragons in the first place lately. Most mistake a wyvern for a dragon. And old records are not credible.”
A legend, he asserted, is just an absurd legend.
“okay.”
Nelvenia nodded her head in agreement.
She agrees with his assertion that it is impossible for humans to defeat dragons.
Since she actually commands that dragon, her overwhelming presence and power can be felt right next to her.
“But that alone can't keep them vigilant, so tell the soldiers not to relax.”
“Yes, I will keep that in mind.”
The commander bowed one last time and withdrew.
“I’m going to take a break, so call me right away if anything happens.”
I don't know what kind of battle will happen, but I need to rest myself.
Wouldn't he have flown from the castle town to this place clutched by that dragon's paws?
I didn't express it at first, but it wasn't a pleasant trip.
‘It was very cold.'
No matter how tired she is, it's natural.
She took out the dragon-controlling artifact from her bosom and sighed as she caressed it.
With this in hand, the dragon will obey her commands unconditionally.
Holding it carefully so as not to lose it, she headed to her private room.
And after entering the private room, Nelvenia blinked her eyes.
“Oh my... since when have you been here?”
It was because there were guests in her private room.
“That's why your name is...
“Not necessary. Temporary names have no value to us. For convenience, you can just call it ‘trainer’.”
An exotic girl with brown skin.
She is the one who gave the dragon to Nelvenia, and a girl with a strange tone sent by ‘him'.
“How do you feel?”
She indifferently looks into Nelvania's eyes and asks.
“Your impressions... you mean?”
“Immediate impressions are necessary. If there is a problem, we will improve it where possible.”
It seemed like he was asking about his impressions of using dragons.
There can be no complaints.
“Again question. Are there any problems?”
“no. To be honest, it's cool.
I was more surprised than that. Are you really a real dragon?”
However, the girl warned the trembling Nelvania once more.
“It cannot be said that there is no way to subdue the dragon. So be careful. You can be the one who loses with pride.”
“okay. I will be grateful for advice.”
Nelvenia politely bowed her head in favor.
Although she is an unknown girl, she has no intention of listening to the person who gives her advice.
“I don’t intend to be conceited from the beginning.”
We already know that there is no way out of this war.
So don't be arrogant.
“...Then I won't say more. ”
The trainer lifted his butt off and stood up, as if he really had nothing to say.
And I wanted to go out the door, but I headed for the window.
“Wait a minute... there...
the startled Nelvania tried to stop her, but she had already jumped out the window.
“Eh?!”
She looked frantically, but the girl was nowhere to be seen.
“...what are you doing?”
Instead, voices came from above.
“ah??????
Nelvenia stared up in awe.
Isn't that trainer girl riding a monster she's never seen before?
A monster with three legs and three heads and a gigantic size comparable to that of a dragon.
The girl blankly stared at Nelvania, who was looking up at her, then nodded, then rode the monster and flew away, disappearing into the sky.
“What the heck... is her true identity...?”
muttered blankly.
‘He' who bestowed his wisdom and current strength, and the girl he sent.
And the drag that girl gave me? ? ? ? ? ? ?
....I have always questioned their identities, but now I am more curious about them.
What kind of existence do you keep doing things that are out of common sense like this?
‘...No. For now, I have to focus on the war against the Ernesia Kingdom Army.'
Let's put aside the questions that can't be answered.
In the end, driven as she was, she took that dragon in her hands, even going to extreme options.
There was no doubt that the trainer girl's words were a warning.
I can't go any further than this.
‘This time, I will definitely crush you. Arele Ernesia!'
Nelvenia clenched her fists and made a promise.
He has no grudge, but for the sake of the world he wants, he must burn him here.
Yes, everything will come to an end sooner or later.
Dragon hunting (1)
A strategy meeting was held to hunt the dragon in earnest, and tension was high throughout the base of the Ernesia Kingdom army.
The strategy meeting continued until late.
First of all, the soldiers and knights were instructed to prepare for battle as usual, but even they could not be at ease.
No matter how the meeting comes to a conclusion, it has already been decided that tomorrow we will go to subdue the dragon that will settle in Calen Fortress.
Who wouldn't be nervous?
Even Arel's aides were no exception.
The rear of the Ernesia Kingdom Army's camp.
In the barracks of Lord Fahilia's army, aides gathered and exchanged opinions.
They couldn't stay still.
While the lord discussed the strategy with other lords, they also gathered and exchanged opinions and strengthened their resolve.
“...I never thought I'd be fighting a dragon.”
Asha muttered quietly as she trimmed the hilt of her spear.
Seina gave a subtle smile as if agreeing.
“Before that, I didn't know that dragons would emerge in war. Even an old man back home would be surprised to hear.”
The white dragon they encountered here was also the first dragon they encountered.
It's a wyvern, though I've seen it many times.
“Have you ever seen Dia?”
“...This is the first time. It is said that the mage lord met them once while training, but they didn't even fight.”
“I wonder if we can catch it if we mobilize the magic tower’s power?”
When Seina asked such a question purely out of curiosity, Dia thought it over seriously and then shook her head.
“Impossible.”
“Ah...is that so?”
