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?”
Even she couldn’t believe it.
Even after receiving it, even after seeing the power of that monster, Nelvenia herself couldn’t believe it.
The foreign girl nodded.
“curio. An adult white dragon captured 300 years ago. Pedigree and training are perfect. If you want, I can give you a certificate of bloodline.”
The girl said strangely proud.
“Just a note.”
“yes? Precautions?”
Could it be that’s why you’ve been waiting here all this time for yourself to come back?
The expression on Nelvania’s face hardened slightly with tension.
Well, there could be no problem with the simple way to control the dragon.
“Give me fresh mutton to feed.
I don’t eat other than that. Tricky mouth.”
“?…yes?”
“You don’t have to worry about hygiene. Due to the nature of the race, there is no problem with always maintaining cleanliness with mana. However, since it is a reptile, be careful about the temperature. Unexpectedly difficult to sleep.”
….Could it be that precautions are dragon breeding?
Nelvenia was at a loss for words.
It was also strangely realistic, and I lost my energy.
“Dragons are easy to breed, so I don’t think even beginners will have any problems.
Highly recommended for those that don’t require maintenance.”
“…is that the end?”
huh.
As if that was the end, the girl shut her mouth.
do you want to go back now?
As she thought so, the girl opened her mouth again.
“…and this is a personal request,”
the foreign girl continued with a hard tone as she looked at Nelvania.
“Don’t be overconfident.”
“yes?”
“Dragon stole his consciousness and manipulated the specs for smooth control. A concept that is easy to handle even for beginners. Therefore, the specifications are degraded.”
“…I’m not sure, but I’m weaker than the actual dragon, so I’m telling you not to be overconfident?”
huh.
The foreign girl ‘trainer’ answered concisely.
“Dragon is definitely powerful. It is true that it is an ideal weapon if used in war. one!”
Contrary to her first childish appearance, she stared into Nelvania’s eyes with very serious and deep eyes and said.
“That is not a condition for absolute victory.”
“Do you really think that the Ernesia Kingdom army will be able to subdue that dragon?”
“The odds are not zero.”
This trainer did not deny the fact that even the seasoned knight denied it, saying that it was possible.
The trainer said seriously.
“Above all, that dragon is not perfect.”
“Isn’t that perfect?”
“Due to the training process. Limiting the dragon’s consciousness. Because of that, I can’t use my original power.”
“Ah…
I understand what you mean.
That dragon has no consciousness.
No matter what measures the trainer girl took to manipulate it, it became a beast that faithfully followed orders.
Does that mean it becomes a weakness?
“If you don’t mind, can you tell me what method you used?”
Slightly curious, Nelvenia asked the secret.
Are you breeding a dragon?
Isn’t it something that all scholars in the world would be shocked to hear?
However, the trainer girl quietly put her index finger to her mouth and said curtly.
“Trade Secret”
“Yes?”
I don’t know, but I don’t think I’m going to teach you.
“Explain again. Because there is no consciousness, the dragon’s actions are greatly restricted. To put it in numerical terms, it can be said that it is only one-fifth of the actual spec.”
That strength is only one-fifth?
Nelvenia couldn’t help but be astonished at that.
It was a monster that even the sword master could only cut through a few scales.
But to say that it was only one-fifth the strength…
“So don’t be overconfident.”
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?”
