Chapter 52: The Escaped Dragon

"It has now been confirmed that the dragon has fallen into Lake Valyria! So as planned, hang it with a steel rope? In "El Saiyu," Yulia asks General Morgan.

"Hmm," General Morgan was silent for a moment, "After confirming that it is safe, first stop the "El Saiyu" on the surface of the water and send a boat into the water to investigate." ”

"Yes."

On the Ratna River, the ancient dragon "Regunat", which was in a state of anesthesia, collapsed on the surface of the lake, and its huge body stretched out defenselessly, floating with the waves.

A dinghy emerges from a guard boat that has landed on the lake, to get a closer look at the dragon's condition.

After circling the head of the giant dragon, the El Saiyu folded its square oars and landed vertically on the lake.

"Wow!" Huge wind pressure, rolling waves, and mist.

"Wow, that's big." On the deck, Doroshi walked around up and down, left and right, desperately pressing the shutter, "It's a pity that such a handsome child is asleep or something~ Come on, wake up quickly." ”

"I've said it a few times, it's too dangerous for him to wake up." Nair grumbled, "Still, what a surprising creature. ”

"Ah, its existence dates back to before the Seven Dawn Calendars." Rien said that he and his companions were also on deck at this moment, and the opportunity to observe the dragon up close was not to be missed, "The ancient dragon Regunat. ”

"Do you know where it came from?" Nair asked curiously.

"I don't know, but I investigated the legend of Liber yesterday." Li En shook his head, "Since this kind of mythical sacred beast has appeared, then the legend can't just be heard as a story. ”

"Makes sense, I'll go back and take a closer look at the legends about dragons." Nair thought so.

"I said Lane, Liber has dragons to inhabit it." Olivier's eyes lit up, "Wouldn't there be any holy beasts living in our empire, such as unicorns?" ”

"Who knows." The last memory he saw in the Holy Maiden's mind came to his mind, on the island in the middle of the lake, the pure white unicorn holy beast looked up to the sky and hissed, "The wind is groundless, it may not be without a cause. ”

"Then it's very likely that the Red Lotus Demon, the witch, and the goblin also exist?" Olivier asked.

"As far as I know, there have been stories of holy wolves in Crossbell, and it is said that there have been witnesses in recent years." Li En did not answer positively, but sold Luo Ye's future partner with a smile.

"HO'HO," Olivier said, taking out the lute and plucking the strings with his fingers, "this is what my generation of bards are chasing, let me use this harp to tell the story of the sacred beast to the world." ”

"The holy beast has reappeared on the earth, the gears of fate have begun to turn, O son of fate, to meet this era of great change." The sound of the piano is melodious, the singing is loud, although it is just improvised and sung, but it has a different taste.

"It's a pity that I can only think of this one lyric now." After singing a paragraph, Olivier sighed meaninglessly.

"Let me try." Lai En had a flash of inspiration, and sang softly to the sound of Olivier's harp, "The subjects of the goddess are terrified, and the serpent that devours the sky is wreaking havoc, but only the light of faith is not extinguished, O son of fate, cut through the endless night, and believe, a bright future will come." ”

"That's good!" Olivier applauded vigorously.

"Awards, awards." Lane arched his hand, "It's not as good as you, the 'love hunter'." ”

"You two, no noise is allowed in the army!" The two were complimenting each other, and General Morgan's scolding came at the right time.

"Huh? Is this my delusion? "There is another headache for General Morgan, that is, Miss Doroshi, who has lost her thread," is there a bulge on the child's forehead? ”

"Really, it's round and bulging. It looks like a slit, could it be an eye or something" Before Estelle could finish speaking, she saw the bulge on the dragon's forehead suddenly turn black.

"Could that be that" Kloss's face changed, and they were discussing why they didn't see Levi and the Gospel when they were messing around just now, but they didn't find out.

"Buzz~Buzz~" The purple-black pulse field, which everyone is familiar with, kept emerging from the bulge.

"Wow" With a large range of water waves, the dragon that had been sleeping suddenly stretched its huge wings and soared into the air. The dragon's mouth spit out a dragon flame into the sky!

The three garrison boats stranded at low altitude hurriedly accelerated to evade Long Yan and successfully evaded, but the air blockade was also broken. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the dragon's wings flapped, lifted into the air at high speed, and flew away.

"Vulna Dragon! Want to escape! General Morgan reacted quickly, "Immediately activate the "El Seyu", and at the same time order the nearby patrol boats to intercept it with all their might!" ”

"Yes!"

The Dragon Interception Battle has officially begun!

"This is the Merta, target discovery, Grimm machine gun, Fire!"

"What this speed"

"It was reported that the target speed exceeded 1,500 Serls per hour, and the "Merta" could not intercept it and was breached."

"This is the Medil, the target speed exceeds 1800 seljull per hour, and the target is lost!"

Above the clouds, Liberal's white wings PK ancient dragon wings spread out at the same time. Regunat's speed is soaring, and the El Seyu, supported by a new engine, is in hot pursuit, unleashing homing missiles from time to time!

"No, the tracking missile can't hit the mark!" The gunner was in a hurry, "This is a homing missile that can detect heat sources!" ”

"It looks like it's sending some kind of interference wave to interfere." Yulia immediately responded, "Okay, in that case, switch to the main gun!" ”

"The speed of the dragon is soaring rapidly," the observer's voice trembled, "the speed is 2300 sels - 2400, 2500, 2600 What kind of monster is this, it can so easily catch up with the top speed of the garrison boat!" ”

"However, we can't get rid of the Elseeu, which is equipped with the latest engine." Yulia waved her hand, "Notify the entire crew!" Start the El Sejo to its maximum speed (3200 selp)! Units, enter the 'G' state! ”

"Everyone squat, center down." Kross reminded her companions loudly that they were the only laymen on board.

"Accelerate your start! The dragon must not be allowed to escape. After making sure everyone was crouching, Yulia gave the final order.

β€œYessir!”

With the helmsman's control, the pointers and values of each dashboard began to rise rapidly! The bridge's good soundproofing could not stop the roar of the engines at maximum revs. The hull of the El Sai Eu began to shake, and the impact of the huge acceleration followed! The violent friction between the air and the hull left a series of sonic booms in the air.

Everyone felt that their bodies were constantly shaking from the inside out, so they could only press their bodies down and then down.

"The height of the dragon has dropped! If you continue like this, you will lose your goal. ”

"Give me a tight bite on it!" Yulia gritted her teeth, "Goh, haven't you been able to make it through the clouds yet?" ”

"The dragon has dropped below 1200 sub-moments. 1100, 1000, 900 lost their target. ”

"Goo, it looks like it's gone into the northwest of the Misty Canyon, in the fog." Yulia roughly calculated the dragon's position.

"Can the El Seyu dock at the original base of the air thieves?" General Morgan has not given up yet.

"No, it can't be done with the size of this ship." Yulia bowed her head unwillingly.

"Yes," the general sighed, "-the battle is over." Let the patrol boats in the back closely monitor the canyon surroundings, and the "El Saiyu" will temporarily return to Perth. ”

"Your Excellency, I have a proposal." Lixia, who had not spoken since the beginning of the pursuit, spoke.

"Say."

"Is there a way to get close to a rock wall or a hillside or something, as long as it can be within 30 centimeters, Rien and I will be able to land." The claws on Lixia's arms shimmered with a cold glow, "We'll find a way to find the dragon's location." ”

"Little girl, that's Misty Canyon, and as far as I know, there's not a single road in and out of the northwest. If you touch it a little bit, it will take no matter how many days it takes. General Morgan frowned.

"Just because a soldier can't do it doesn't mean we can't do it, you know what the Ezint Mountains are, right?" "That's right, the largest and most precipitous mountain range in the north of the empire, I have been practicing there since I was 10 years old when I entered the "Eight Leaves and One Knife Stream", and I would like to say that it is no different from my back garden. ”

"And what if you find the dragon? It's not an opponent that you can destroy with your strength alone. ”

"It doesn't need to be destroyed, just the Gospel on its head." Dawn pressed the hilt of the knife with his right hand.
