Chapter 102: Raided

Your Majesty, we received news from the vanguard squad of General Gribear. Their force has already occupied the majority of harbor city. It will be occupied before the arrival of our main force.

Hah, naturally. It is just a small country, after all. Those guys alone are plenty enough.

A girl replied as she stood on the deck of the ship advancing without hindrance.

The human continent was right before her eyes, and they would arrive in less than an hour.

Kukuku, those human must be trembling in fear upon witnessing the power of our beatfolk right now.

The name of the girl who showed a belligerent smile as her silver hair was fluttering in the air by the sea breeze was Meriadel.

She was also the one who broke the nonaggression treaty between human and beastfolk that had been kept for a long time. In short, she was the Beast King herself. [TL: Meriadel was referring herself with "" (ore) instead of watashi.]

Her appearance was that of a beauty in her twenties.

Despite her rather muscular body, it belonged to a sporty and slender typedefinitely not the kind of body that one would imagine from a battle junkie.

But there was no doubt that she was the strongest warrior of the beastfolk.

She, who was born in the tiger beastfolk clana group that supported going to warhad ascended to the pinnacle of her own clan at the tender age of 15. From then on, she proceeded to swallow the other clans with her power, forming a large force.

And finally, a few years ago, she defeated the previous beast king, whose strength was among the strongest, and took the throne as the newly crowned.

Thus, she became the supreme ruler of the continent, but that wasn't enough to satisfy her growing appetite for battle.

For that reason, she set her sights on the human continent where humans resided.

A long time ago, the ancestors of the beastfolk crossed the sea to invade the human continent which was rich in natural resources, but all of their attempts were met with failure.

Moreover, those who got exhausted by repeated mobilization ended up facing the threat of humans invading their continent.

Thus, their ancestors had no choice but to apologize to the human and sign a nonaggression treaty for both sides.

Ever since then, the successive generations of beast kings protected the treaty, but

Those humans were just small fries. What's so scary about them? The reason for the failure of the invasion is the sea that separates the two continents. Since the ship-making technology was really poor back then, our ancestors had to give up everything just to cross the sea.

Normally speaking, two dragons of different species wouldn't form a group.

Even more so for extremely powerful ones like the two before her.

Even the fact that they were flying side-by-side was against commonsense.

This one.

Hm, not bad.

And for some reason, the two dragons descended right in front of the beast king and looked at her as if appraising her value.

Who're you?

The Beast King had no idea about the intention of the two dragons, so her fur stood on end.

The next moment, the golden dragon opened her mouth and then fired her lightning breath.

?!

The Beast King kicked the deck immediately, jumping in the air to dodge the breath attack.

The breath attack landed straight on the deck along with an explosive sound.

Although the ship was sturdy and reinforced with bulky metal, it melted immediately.

The beastfolk onboard were electrocuted by the lightning. The Beast King landed on another nearby ship, baring her fangs at the two dragons.

WHY THE HELL ARE YOU SUDDENLY ATTACKING OUT OF NOWHERE DRAGONS?! DON'T THINK THAT WE WON'T FIGHT BACK! KILL THEM!!

And then, she called her comrade.

LET'S GO!! WE'RE GOING TO KILL THEM BEFORE THOSE HUMANS! THEY MIGHT BE DRAGONS, BUT THEY'RE NOTHING BEFORE US!!

UWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Thus, the two dragons clashed with the beastfolk on the open sea.
