Dragon Poor

298. Dragon Empire ⁄

A chaotic flash of color rises over the cloudy emperor's skies. It was strong enough to be seen in the Central Knight's Keep, not far from here.

“Huh? What's that? ”

Johnstein Pilgram, a stranger, who found a flash of light shining all over the Imperial Palace, opened his eyes wide.

“Idiot! It's a rally signal! What are you looking at? Arm yourselves and assemble at the barracks! ”

A senior knight beside you shouts and instructs all the knights in training to arm the spectacle.

Shhh.

Then a second flash came to the sky. This time it was an ominous flash of red light.

“Exhibition ready! ”

An urgent sign that emerges when an outsider invades the Imperial Court, a senior knight hard-faces the knights.

Swing, swing.

The sound of urgent bells echoing to wake up the Central Knight's Keep late, and all the troops stationed in the garrison rush in their armor and take my horses.

“Prepare to depart for the Imperial Palace first! ”

Knights of the Central Knight Gun Master's command rush out of the fortress in a hurry. Soon after, each knight set out for the Imperial Palace, leaving only a few men to defend the fort.

“Heavy cavalry of the Imperial Guards over there! ”

A senior knight who found the flag of the Yongchedo Imperial Guard among the dusty clouds not far from the Imperial Road shouted.

“I can see the cavalry on the way to the Central Army Imperial Palace! ”

The dust cloud was not one.

Dust clouds were rising in almost every direction, from east to west, from northeast to southwest.

The captain of the gun, who saw the cavalry rushing from all sides towards the Imperial Paths, frowns.

“Could a monster have appeared in the Imperial family this time? ”

The Knights of the Palace Guard and the Imperial Guard have been blackened by a distress signal from the Imperial Patriarch that even monsters so powerful as not to be dealt with have appeared in the Imperial Court.

“Hurry! The Imperial Court must have a toilet! ”

The Knights are speeding up the order of the captain of the gun.

Swing, swing.

It was the sound of a rattling typhoon that welcomed the central Knights to the Imperial Archipelago without a care for their horses.

Above the walls were archers feeding on protests, and water-based catapults and ballistas placed on the elements were already ready to fire.

“What the hell is going on?! ”

“Reports that something massive is flying into the eclipse from the Southwest! ”

There was only one object flying toward the ecliptic from the southwest.

“That's where the Grand Duke would be headed. ”

“Yes, the Grand Duke is on his way to the Imperial Palace. ”

The commander of the gun became even more confused.

The Grand Duke was famous on the continent and famed as a war hero and wife in Adenburg. Instead of welcoming such a nobleman's return, I couldn't understand how to be prepared for war like an enemy.

Such a question became even worse when he arrived at the central square in front of Hwang Sung.

“My goodness. Even the Imperial Wizard Leader is a high magician of the Imperial family. ”

There were not just any troublemakers of the Imperial Wizards who didn't want to come out of the study, but dozens of people gathered in the Central Plaza. Due to their high esteem, even the imperial court struggled to deal with them.

“Ugh... ”

Including the Knights of the Central Knights, the appearance of the commander of the total knight was even stiffer than the massive gathering of the remaining massive forces that would have been wiped out in one fell swoop.

“This is a video log that just arrived today."

A wizard approached the master and gave him a crystal ball.

“I'll give you a detailed explanation after you watch the video. ”

Pot.

Before answering anything, the wizard uploaded the footage stored in the video recorder into the air.

The scales around my body were as beautiful as polished silver and gold, and at one point, the invisible body looked eerily elegant and strong. A pair of wings of different colors also covered the entire sky.

“What the hell.... ”

With the existence of life unlike that of this world, the commander of the Knights has lost his words.

“The Grand Duke has a new dragon. ”

The wizard opens his mouth, looking at the halfway charmed makeup.

“Is that a dragon like Drake or Wyvern? ”

I couldn't believe it. The commander of the gun could not accept that such a overwhelming existence was a species of Drake, ruled by a monster.

“I can't believe it. ”

The wizard finished explaining to the total commander of the knights who still showed strong denial in the video.

“Shortly before I left, the Grand Duke said, and that overwhelming consolation, our Wizards concluded that it was a real dragon. ”

What the hell is this? It is also hard to believe that there exists a dragon that was considered a simple myth or legend because it only has a name without a record, but even that dragon is flying towards the eclipse. I can see the expression on the faces of the central knights, including the commander of the gun.

“If that's not a dragon, what else could it be? Perhaps the Grand Duke has succeeded in finding the real dragon. ”

To those knights, the wizard raised his finger to point to the video.

"Hmm."

The knights have not raised any objections to the wizard's words. I couldn't think of a word to describe the life in the video without the words of a wizard.

“Even with the Grand Duke, you can't just stand by while a giant like that flies towards the Imperial City where you live." ”

“Ah. Earl Reinhardt. ”

Earl Reinhardt, the head of the Palace Guard, told me when he was approaching.

“If one of those monstrous bastards gets out of control, then there will be an unbearable catastrophe. ”

The commander of the gun convinced himself. As the Marquis had said, the dragon's presence was too threatening to enter the imperial palace, simply trusting the Grand Duke.

“Anyway, I did everything I could right now. ”

The late Reinhardt thought he would meet the Grand Duke in the plains in front of the Imperial Patriarch, but he could not give up the defensive facilities and advantages of the Imperial Paths that had been reinforced for centuries.

"If I'd seen the footage a little earlier, I might have stopped the Grand Duke at any cost. No, I wish the Grand Duke would just turn around now. ”

The baron sighs as he looks at the Knights of the Palace Guard and the Empress surrounded by Wizards.

“But you're a hero of the empire and your companion, and you can't keep throwing yourself out of the eclipse like that, can you? ”

It was a rather cruel thing to joke about, but on the one hand, the General said something encouraging as the head of the guard who has to protect the Yellow and Imperial families.

“The most powerful force in the history of the empire has gathered together. Even though there aren't that many of them in the middle, knights and wizards of this number won't have a problem protecting the well-being of the Emperor even if they show up with more than dragons. ”

The words of the commander of the gun comforted the baroness, but the video was also meant to inspire the stiffness of his body.

It's because if we don't remind people of the existence of many superhumans in the square like this, we won't be able to respond properly even if the situation comes.

The dragon in the video was an enormous being that I had never seen before.

However, it did not take long for the commander of the gun to realize how absurd his commitment and angst were.

"Coming!”

A bright-eyed knight, sitting on a spire, cries out after discovering a massive shadow approaching from the southwest sky.

“All wizards should be prepared to cast spells so that they can trigger magic at any time. ”

“Knights! Hands on your swords! ”

The sound of the wizards chanting and the sound of knights clawing at the handle of their swords echoes through the square.

Fireworks.

You hear a noise like the sails of a giant sailboat unfolding, and a huge shadow falls over the square in no time.

And the knights and wizards who looked up at the sky solidified.

The ship was looking down at itself with a brighter scale and overwhelming presence than the one seen in the video.

“Ah…. ”

The hands of the knights who grabbed the hilt of the sword twitch and sag. The scattered magical powers that were collected groan.

It was not a matter of being unstoppable.

The sight of the dragon tore the knights' swords from their hearts, and the pride of the wizards was shattered.

So the dragon appeared and ruled the square at the same time.

[It seems they have not thanked you for your consideration.]

Kim Sun-hyuk smiled at Eda's words.

I deliberately slowed down while keeping the eclipse in sight. I wanted to fly to the Imperial Palace immediately to see Ophelia and Victoria, but I endured the sudden appearance of Edda worrying that the Imperial people would play.

I gave the Emperor's people time to prepare for their first encounter with Eda of overwhelming existence.

But it was more considerate than not.

Eda's existence was not merely preparing to overcome, but rather boasting about Edda in front of many more people.

But I couldn't help it. Leaving Edda alone to avoid the commotion, Edda tries not to part with herself.

“Knng. Let's go down. It's more frustrating to be here. ”

He nods gracefully at his words and slowly begins to descend.

The superhumans do not move as if pinned to the spot until they are fully seated on the edge.

“Wait a minute. ”

Tuck.

The sound of Kim Sun-hyuk stepping on the plaza that could not even hear his breath spread strangely wide.

“Your Majesty.”

He passes through the unstoppable superhumans and finally arrives in front of Ophelia, kneeling on one knee.

“I returned safely as I was told. ”

Her gaze fixated on the dragon plummets.

She shivers as if she had been distracted by Edda or later found him.

“Grand Duke!"

A stiff face quickly appeared, and soon I remembered the deep longing and gladness.

“Maybe I'm not too late. ”

“Too late. The Grand Duke is late again. ”

Contrary to her reprimand, her footsteps were only light.

“You said you were going away for a while, but it's been months. ”

The warm warmth touches my cheeks before the words of the rebuke end.

Wow.

Then the warmth spread from cheek to shoulder to chest throughout my body.

“I missed you. ”

Holding Ofelia in your arms, he makes a commitment.

“The Grand Duke is always a man of horses. ”

Unlike what you said this time, it was Ofelia who gave him even more strength in her arms.

“Do you remember?”

Kim Sun-hyuk, who released the joy of the sea with a brief hug, awoke and asked.

“When I came back, ”

He raises his eyes wide and kisses Ofelia on the forehead looking up at him.

“I dare not let anyone cross the empire again." ”

There was a dragon who looked arrogantly at numerous superhumans.

“Here we go. ”
