Chapter 261
The unit returned safely.
I immediately summoned the lords and knights and held a meeting to deal with the white dragon, a nuisance lizard called by the saintess.
“I also checked with the naked eye from a distance.
It must have been a dragon. He was also a very white guy.”
It is a very large and fresh dragon.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
“....ha.”
“???? Phew.”
“?...Huh”
“..Huh.”
Contrary to me laughing, I kept hearing heavy pain here and there.
All the guys except me and Kania noona are doing this.
The appearance of a dragon during a war.
Even that dragon is an enemy.
They are confused as if they can\'t even tell if this is real or not.
I\'m the only one who doesn\'t care about it.
ruler! Anyone have any ideas to get rid of that lizard?
I look around at the other guys, but no one is willing to reveal their intentions.
Even Kania noona is keeping her mouth shut with a dissatisfied expression as if she doesn\'t understand something.
I understand. It\'s a dragon.
It\'s like a disaster for ordinary humans.
Is it natural that there is no countermeasure?
“Come to think of it, have any of these people ever caught a dragon themselves? Or are there any descendents of dragon slayers?”
Or the left-handed humpback dragon tail.
Now, we can accept whoever comes out.
I joked lightly like that, but the reaction was not very good.
“Arel-sama, your joke is going too far.”
An aristocrat smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“For at least 450 years after the founding of the Kingdom of Ernesia, I have never heard of a single story of defeating a dragon.”
“The last sighting was a very brief appearance over the Southern Territory 130 years ago, which is all that has been documented.”
“that\'s right. That\'s what I know.”
Even on this continent we live on, dragons undoubtedly exist.
In recent years, the number of sightings has decreased drastically, raising suspicions that they may have gone extinct, but the theory is firmly established that dragons avoid human countries and create rare dragons in places out of reach of human eyes.
“The problem is that there are even fewer records of dragons intervening in the war.”
Dragons are reptiles that are unnecessarily high in intelligence and pride.
In fact, the basic potential of the species itself far surpasses that of other creatures.
size. strength of the scales. life span. and mana. Intellect.
In all respects, it is an existence that can be said to be superior to other creatures.
A cheat creature that seems to have been purposely created by God.
In addition, when you transform into a human, you always transform into a handsome and beautiful woman?
I too once grumbled when I first saw a dragon, saying it was really unfair.
In any case, it means that they are very good creatures since they were born.
To the same extent, dragons have high pride, thinking of themselves as beings of a higher dimension, and taking a really contemptuous attitude toward beings of a lower dimension.
In particular, it does not try to intervene very much in human history.
He always pretends to be aloof and only takes a stand to watch.
Occasionally, some dragons are interested in human culture, but among the legends of each country, there is a story that a dragon polymorphed and played around in a human form.
Nevertheless, there are extremely few legends or works dealing with depictions of dragons directly going to war and wiping out enemy forces.
‘Because from their point of view, war is like playing house.\'
What\'s fun about a fight in which humans the size of ants compared to their size stab and kill each other?
Dragons, in particular, consider it shameful to intervene excessively with humans.
In other words, from the dragon\'s point of view, interfering in human warfare.
‘Oh my God, that nerd got into a fight with humans and harassed them!\'
So, which dragon will join the war?
Few dragons will want to create a sense of comforter kick on their own.
I don\'t know if I want to be humiliated on purpose.
“It makes no sense…
” “Yes.”
Those present also let out a long sigh in agreement.
“I just can\'t believe it.”
“A red dragon is so ferocious that if you go to war near your own rare, you will be merciless against the enemy? Although it is said that it was swept away by allies.”
“Isn’t that the red guy again?”
As far as I know, white dragons are more extreme lizards that have no interest in war.
“It\'s embarrassing, but I can\'t even figure out how to deal with it, even though I\'ve been through the war.”
“…It’s the same.”
It is understandable that everyone is gloomy.
It is completely against the rules for such the strongest creature to intervene in human warfare.
balance collapse.
Tolerable weaponry would not be able to pierce the scales, and each and every magic that was freely used was a natural disaster.
Trouble.
I clicked my tongue inside.
Morale fell dramatically.
Humans are animals after all.
In front of a creature with a difference in rank, of course, he can\'t dare to fight.
‘It\'s just a lizard with a little bit of durability...
I must be a special case who thinks like this.
Usually, just hearing the dragon\'s name makes me shudder.
“Hey Arell?”
However, it might be said that Kania noona, who calmly talks to me right now, is also a special case.
“sister?”
“That dragon… Umm… I don’t know if this is because of my mood, but there’s something I’m concerned about.”
“What is it? Please tell me.”
“Are dragons really that dull?”
If the dragon party heard it, it would be angry.
“Come to think of it, I heard that Kania-nee directly attacked that white dragon?”
huh.
“You were reckless. What do you mean by dull before that?”
“That\'s... why didn\'t the dragon use magic?”
Her point was understandable.
The scary thing about dragons is their transcendent magic skills.
In particular, the white dragon\'s magic aptitude is more delicate and the amount of mana is higher.
In addition, he is rational for a dragon, so he is good at small magic.
Still, there were no reports of dragons using magic.
Even when your sister attacked you, you just kicked it out with a flap of your wings, right?
“Good question, sister.”
“oh? Does Arel know the answer?”
“No, I don’t know.”
I don\'t know everything about me.
I don\'t know if I personally encounter that dragon, but the report I received is insufficient in information.
“But it\'s true that it\'s strange for a dragon\'s behavior I\'ve seen in records.”
Does that lizard that lives in its own pride chase away humans who attack it with just a flap of its wings?
When other dragons hear it, they will be terrified and say it is not dignified.
“To begin with, it makes no sense for a dragon to listen to the saintess\' orders.”
“…Could it be that they made a contract?”
A nobleman cautiously asked the question.
“No, that possibility is low. A white dragon in particular won\'t share a contract like that?”
Even if he promised something, he wouldn\'t do anything so ugly as to intervene on the battlefield himself.
Most dragons I know have been like that.
Dragons consider themselves noble and superior beings.
And then, drunk on his pride, he got hit and vomited blood.
“He didn’t even say anything about it… He said he had high intelligence?”
“Hmm, that’s a bit subtle. From what I hear, most dragons think their intelligence is superior, so there are some individuals who don\'t want to mix with humans.”
Usually, that self-esteem is also a little lower if you break the neck bone...
but that\'s okay for now.
“I think so. The saintess thinks she is controlling the dragon by some means.”
Unnatural behavior can be roughly explained as not being self-willed.
“Controlling a dragon... that\'s nonsense.”
“It would be impossible even if all the countries on the continent gathered together.”
Of course, the aristocrats denied reality, saying that there was no way.
Look at that fort, aren\'t dragons really taking care of human forts?
The important thing is to see reality.
It is only ugly to talk about whether it is possible or impossible in front of what has already happened.
“Or if you have any other hypotheses, feel free to tell me.”
But those guys can\'t talk.
After shutting everything down, I thought for a moment.
Steering is not impossible.
that\'s my honest opinion
After all, dragons are also a type of creature.
At least it is possible for me.
But what bothers me is something else.
What concerns you more than anything else.
‘Why did that saintess bring out the dragon card?\'
I just don\'t understand.
Isn\'t it the strongest weapon in the continent\'s history to handle dragons freely?
No need to bring slave soldiers from the empire.
There is no need to undermine the Kingdom of Ernesia by unnecessarily carrying out epidemic terrorism.
Just send the dragon and it would have been over.
It is common to think so.
Even so, Nelvenia came to the corner now and pulled out a card called a dragon.
If you want to cheat, can\'t you just start from the beginning?
Is there a pervert who cheats in a situation where everyone is losing?
I didn\'t understand that.
It\'s much simpler to just take out the dragons from the beginning and blow them all up.
There is no law against weaponizing dragons, and it does not go against the doctrine of the Holy Kingdom.
‘Or I\'m afraid I\'ll fall outside the eyes of other dragons?\'
Of course, if another dragon sees that ugliness, they might intervene.
But the odds are infinitely low.
They\'re not very diligent creatures.
....There is a possibility that the dragon here is an exception.
‘From the beginning, there was no means of dragons... But now it seems that they have been created.\'
For now, this is all that can be inferred from the flow.
In the end, if we don\'t capture that fortress and catch the culprit, we won\'t know.
For now, everyone\'s eyes are on me, so I stopped thinking for myself and continued the story I was talking about earlier.
“Maybe there are technologies we don’t know about. Well, the problem is that we have to defeat that dragon in order to bring out the saintess of the Holy Land.”
Somehow, the condition for winning this war was changed to defeating the dragon.
“It might be much better to rush in with a million troops.”
Why doesn\'t that joke sound like a joke?
“…over there? What would happen if we covered it up and fought?”
Kania-nee also realized that the atmosphere was too gloomy, so she tried to cheer everyone up somehow.
Of course, that alone can\'t make the atmosphere better.
Rather, the melancholy, like a house in mourning, only deepened.
“I heard that even the princess\'s sword didn\'t work.”
Ugh...
There were not one or two people who witnessed Kania\'s older sister\'s sword bounce off, so I couldn\'t be fooled.
Well, anyway, it\'s because my older sister\'s swordsmanship officially exerts its greatest power here.
If that doesn\'t work, it means that it\'s useless even if someone else beats it.
‘...Actually, I\'d have to step out.\'
Isn\'t the obviously unofficial Choi Kang sitting here looking displeased?
It\'s a bit strange to say that I\'m the strongest myself.
Even a fledgling albino dragon is overflowing with means to play with.
We can also provide training on the spot.
I can show you the dragon licking my shoes if you like.
Although my current physical specs in my current lifetime are not superior in combat power compared to my previous lives.
Race is also human.
Well, even though I did basic training, I was lazy.
Still, a dragon like that is easy.
It may take a bit of time if you are at the road level, but it is very simple.
‘...But I can\'t stand up!\'
In the first place, I live off of the image of ‘weak\'.
There.
‘bothered!!\'
It\'s annoying to go out on my own!
Besides, if I step out in front of everyone, the life plan I\'ve designed so far will completely collapse.
‘For now, I\'m on hold...
I can\'t come out of my power with just one dragon.
However, those who did not know that fact let out a deep sigh.
