Chapter 266. Dragon hunting (2)
“Dragon is a born wizard. It is said that he has absolute qualities in magic since he was born.”
Especially to wizards, it would be a fearful and awe-inspiring existence.
As much as that, wizards are emphasized by their older sisters or teachers from an early age.
‘Even if you don’t have a chance to encounter a dragon, but if you do encounter an unfortunate encounter, never point your staff at a dragon. No matter what, I will prostrate myself.’
Dia had also heard such warnings from a teacher who was not like her own.
I don’t want to agree with his opinion, but Dia also understood that dragon after seeing it from a distance.
The scale of the magical power emitted is different.
“However, Arel-nim said it was possible. Indeed, it is Mr. Arell.”
Dia closed her eyes and murmured as if paying homage to her master, who was proud of being able to hunt dragons, which even the owner of the Mage Tower would say was impossible.
“I was surprised by that, too.”
“I agree. After I go back, I think I will have a lot to brag about when I see people from my hometown later.”
Asha and Seina also agreed, believing that Arell was not simply confident that he could hunt dragons with bluff.
He is already accustomed to ideas and remarks outside of common sense.
I thought it couldn’t be different this time.
However, there are things that they are noticing.
Arel is paying more attention than usual to this dragon hunt.
Normally, I just threw out a plan or an idea in moderation and said, ‘You guys do it yourself, I’m self-sufficient.’ He would have been lazy with a confident attitude, but today he is working all day without complaining.
That’s why they knew without Arel emphasizing it.
That you have to be nervous tomorrow.
“…You never know what will happen tomorrow. Our job is escort rather than war. You have to be careful.”
The other two nodded as if in agreement.
“No, you guys have to work a little harder tomorrow too.”
It was Arel, not anyone else, who entered the barracks while intervening in such an atmosphere.
As soon as I entered, the three of them were startled and turned their heads toward me at the same time.
“….oh!”
“Arel-nim!”
“When did you come?”
“Sometimes, sometime ago.”
I strode into the barracks, pretending to loosen my shoulders.
“It wasn’t until recently that we finished educating each lord on how to deal with dragons. I also taught Pena what to ask for tomorrow.”
Then, without hesitation, they approached the seats where they were sitting and were released.
It’s annoying…. squirm…..
squirm…. squirm…..
Please comfort me when I’m having a hard time.
“It looks like even Arell-nim had a hard time this time.”
“I don’t know why everyone is so scared.”
Pena got used to my method and quickly understood and moved on, but the nobles didn’t.
There are still some grunts out there.
There was even a guy who screamed that he was dying because his body couldn’t stand it any longer.
That’s why this time, I put my heart and soul into training.
Anyone can do it.
Easy-to-understand dragon subjugation course!
I have been giving lectures at a very fast pace from beginner to advanced.
As a result, by now the lords are ‘…can do.’ ‘I can catch it.’ ‘Dragon….’ Itchy…’ Delicious
…
….It’s more like brainwashing than lecture.
If I had to make an excuse for now, I definitely didn’t use brainwashing.
It taught us how to subdue dragons in a reasonable and systematic way.
Long live infusion education.
“Well, it’s true that it took me a lot longer to convince them than I thought.”
Thanks to that, my throat tingles for the first time in a while.
It’s probably the most talked-about moment of my entire life.
What kind of shit is this because of that damn dragon?
“Go… you are having a hard time, Mr. Arell.
ah! What do you mean by what you just said before that!”
Asha, who had been nodding her head at my hardships, hurriedly surprised and asked.
Just now? Oh is that it?
“Anyway, I think you guys should step up and give it to the operation tomorrow. We need the hands of talented people, but the knights of other lords are not enough.”
After all, is it like putting them in danger?
I’m sorry about this too.
“ah? Don’t worry though. The operation is perfect. There will never be anything dangerous.”
“No, I’m not worried about that.”
“That’s right.”
“That’s right.”
“Then why are you so surprised?”
“of course. When we all go to the battlefield, who will escort Arel
?
“For now, leave it to another knight as soon as it is urgent.”
“Dangerous!”
Of course, I am extremely against it.
“I know what will happen tomorrow!”
Hmm… Common sense tells us that their concerns are perfectly reasonable.
but.
…. Personally, I’ll come.
There’s no way they’ll know if you say ….
It’s a big deal if you know before then.
I have no desire to teach you.
“are you okay. Could it be that I am more dangerous than the soldiers and knights who fight dragons?”
“???? that is that??????
They didn’t even dare to respond to my objection.
is it true
Anyway, I will only be in general command from the rear.
No matter how risky the operation is, in the end, the place where I am in command is the safest.
“Rather than that, it’s more important to increase the probability of subjugating the dragon by putting in a reliable person as much as possible.”
When I insisted on a very just theory, in the end, they couldn’t refute either.
“Rather than protecting me in a safe place, I want you to work hard for the victory of the Ernesia Kingdom army, can’t you?”
When I asked, scratching their cheeks, they shook their heads and politely lowered their postures.
Although it stung me a little, as if I understood my sublime meaning.
If you understood something, that’s it.
“I’m sorry that I made you suffer for no reason.”
“no. If that’s Lord Arel’s will, we’ll just follow.”
“But please don’t overdo it.”
“Yeah, please don’t worry. Tomorrow will always be fine.”
I looked outward… in the direction of the enemy’s stronghold and said confidently.
“Yes, tomorrow we will win unconditionally.”
because that’s what it’s meant to be
If I win, I win.
and.
As a bonus, I also got dragon meat.
Come to think of it, this is a nobleman.
I’ve never tasted dragon meat in this life since I was born here.
It has a very deep flavor, so even if you are born again, it is a taste you will never forget.
There is a saying that you should eat dragon meat at least once in your life.
who did it
I did it.
I swallowed my saliva and tried to forget the useless thoughts I had just had.
Anyway, that’s not the purpose.
It’s real. really.
When the sun rose the next day, the sound of the trumpet announcing the start of battle rang throughout Ernesia’s army.
“Go ahead! Attack!”
As the command of the knights commanding each corps resounded, 20,000 soldiers began marching toward Fort Callen.
All of them were soldiers, knights, and mage corps selected for this dragon subjugation.
“Something like a dragon! Let’s teach them that they are just lizards in front of Ernesia’s brave army!”
Shouting lines that seemed to have been told in advance by someone, they advanced with cheers.
And the saintess was glaring at the scene from the top of the fortress wall as if she was dumbfounded.
“…Really intending to fight….
Her pretty face was stained with absurd emotion and anger.
“Arel Ernesia! Contrary to my expectations, he must have been foolish!”
No matter how wise a human is, there is no way to subdue a dragon.
that would be common sense
However, Arel moved the army as if he had forgotten that common sense.
And that’s only 20,000.
Reckless.
“Or perhaps you misunderstood that I would be reluctant to kill?”
If you mumble something like that, the answer won’t come back.
Nelvenia snorted and raised her hand up.
Then, the dragon that was waiting on top of the fortress reacted and flew up.
“Dragon! Drive out the foolish intruders on our territory!”
As if he could understand that explanation alone, the dragon flew towards the advancing army with a vicious glint in its eyes.
“Make sure to engrave the fear of the dragon.”
Nelvenia grimly declared.

“Wow, they’re really coming!”
Kania, who was galloping on horseback in the middle of a line of 20,000 soldiers, exclaimed when she saw a white dragon flying up from the other side of the fortress.
He swung his sword as hard as he could the last few days, but it was the existence that gave him humiliation because his sword energy didn’t work at all.
“I’ll cut it for sure this time.”
Kania put her hand on the sword at her waist and laughed fiercely.
Subjugating a dragon is such a huge achievement!
Of course, he wasn’t the first to support Arel’s subjugation plan based on his personal greed.
Naturally, she instinctively felt that it should not be left here.
And the target to be eliminated is not just the dragon.
‘That woman is dangerous too.’
at that time. The saintess whose eyes met.
She must be dealt with on this battlefield. I was so sure.
I don’t know why. I just instinctively foresee it.
that’s dangerous
“Cania-sama, don’t go too far.”
“That’s right. Shouldn’t you do it according to the plan?”
Asha and Seina caught up with each other on horseback on either side of her, admonishing the pensive Kania.
“don’t worry? Because I know. Ahh, everyone is still worried.”
“Cania-sama’s lieutenant was also worried? In the first place, the opponent is not an ordinary monster. Carelessness…
“It’s okay. I understand…
No, I know it best because I’ve faced it myself.”
Kania muttered in a slightly calmed voice.
“So we must subdue that thing here.”
….Asha and Seina understood the meaning and remained silent.
“And don’t worry because I desperately memorized what Arel ordered. I remember correctly. Be serious this time.”
“Yes, I am relieved.”
“sure. Arel knows that Kania-nim is serious.”
“But are you really going to be okay?”
He thought he would put aside himself and even mobilize Arel’s escort.
Kania thought that was surprising as well.
“This is Arell’s order.”
“Isn’t there a lack of hands in the current situation?”
The reason Asha and Seina act together with Kania is to add strength to defeat the dragon.
The knights of Kania can be said to be excellent, but aside from Kania, her knights are somewhat lacking in strength to fight the dragon directly.
So Arel directly instructed the two to help Kania.
Anyway, when Kania was training swords in the territory, it was two people who sparred the most.
Kania’s methods can be tailored to more than her members.
It was for that reason.
“It’s not enough, but we will do our best.”
“…Yes, I believe.”
In the midst of such a conversation, the appearance of the dragon was clearly visible at some point.
The three of them spoke less.
Soon, the dragon subjugation team will do battle with that white dragon.
If you’re even a little careless, you’ll be annihilated.
Engraving that fact deep in their hearts, the girls calmly and hardened their thoughts, recalling the instructions from Arell last night.
