Under the lead-gray sky, the explosion formed by the convergence of countless "pillars of light" swallowed the giant dragon Iolet, and also swallowed everyone's sight - the dazzling strong light enveloped the heavens and the earth, and even the battleship in front of the Jewel River ferry and the harbor could clearly feel the aftermath of the explosion.

"So... What is the hole card that can make our cautious Duke of Byrne hold on until the last moment and refuse to abandon the city and flee?"

Standing on the deck with the roaring waves, the lone little prince clung to the rudder of death, excited and ecstatic, letting his trench coat and long hair swing in the wind, and staring at the explosion that was enough to stab his eyes:

"The Emperor's army, the secret weapon hidden in the wizard's tower, the magic hidden in the tucked away before it can be used? no, no, no...... Of course not!"

"Because the 200,000-strong army cannot hide their tracks, and it cannot achieve a sudden effect;"

"If the secret weapon he hid was really that powerful, he would have used it a long time ago;"

"As for magic, how can magic, no matter how powerful, compare to the onslaught of dozens of launchers, and if it does, then why do you have to hide until now?"

"So I asked myself - what would be the most likely super ace in the hands of an Imperial commander in his hand?"

"I wish there was only one! and that was the dragon, the dragon that could conquer the world!"

"Unexpected, reasonable!, great, awesome—I swear, I felt my heart stop the moment I saw the dragon appear, I've never experienced such thrilling, near-death fear in my life!"

The dancing waves intensified, and it became more and more difficult for the laughing little prince to stand still, and his whole body leaned against the shaking deck at an angle of sixty degrees.

Bang——!

As the deck shook, the bottle in front of him slipped down with the overturned table, and the little prince grabbed the bottle in the air with his backhand, bit off the cork at the mouth, and poured the blood-red liquor into his throat against the wind.

"So thank you, Duke of Byrne, Loren Turin—thank you for giving me such a test battle, thank you for giving me such a novel and exciting experience, and thank you for the wine made by the people of Byrne... All in all, this level of gratitude is beyond words. ”

"Therefore, let me, the son of the Eagle King, Rodria Azores, sum up the mood at this moment in one sentence, and that is ......"

"I! I really love to play games!hahahahahaha......!!!!ha

Laughing uncontrollably, the little prince in the wind weighed the bottle in his hand, and then threw it with all his strength at a launcher ten paces away, and with the blessing of the wind speed, hit the switch straight above.

Bang!

With a crisp sound, golden-red pillars of light rose into the air and swooped straight towards the center of the explosion according to the set trajectory, and almost at the same time, dozens of pillars of light also rose into the air from the direction of the Jewel River ferry and the port of Ebotden, striking in the same direction.

Dazzling colors, like giant spider webs, envelop Ebolden.

"By the way, thank you for giving me such a special honor - I must be the first elf in the entire Azorean kingdom to face the dragon!"

"Dragon Slayer, I'm decided!"

....................................

"Iolite ——!"

Looking at the blue dragon not far away that was engulfed by the firelight, Brandon exclaimed in a hurry, and Milasis and Grum, the crimson dragon in the sky, were also roaring angrily;

The dragon's roar reverberated like thunder over Ebolden.

The light dissipated, and Iolet in the sea of fire roared in pain, the delicate crystal-like inky blue scales had completely turned black, and the torso and tail still had unfinished flames, burning vigorously.

The elven launcher is not throwing ordinary canisters or stone cannons, but also has a considerable amount of Void power attached to it - even a giant dragon cannot completely resist the power of dozens of explosions comparable to a full version of Turin Fire at the same time!

Almost as soon as the flames dissipated, dozens of pillars of light rose again from the direction of the Gem River and the port, heading towards Iorit, who was still struggling in the flames.

Under the golden-red sky dyed by the firelight, even the retreating defenders in the fortress could clearly feel the terrifying power that came with the flames.

"Boom ——————!!!!"

With a dragon roar, the crimson dragon Grum, who could no longer bear it, opened his bloody mouth, and the spitting dragon flame forcibly detonated most of the "pillars of light" in advance, and scattered "fire rain" fell in the air.

In the next moment, the crimson dragon spread its wings and soared into the sky under the fire-filled Ebolden sky, shuttling between the rising pillars of light, and swooping straight towards the elven fleet in the direction of the harbor.

"Grum, you bastard get back for me, ——! immediately"

Looking at another dragon that had left him and acted without permission, His Royal Highness the Prince who was scolding had instinctively climbed onto the back of the dragon Milasis, ready to chase after him: "Really, these big boys are more disobedient than the other, and they are far worse than me back ......then!

Without waiting for him to "take off", one hand directly pressed him.

"Loren, what are you doing?!"

"Go downstream of the Gem River crossing, protect the retreating Ebolden troops and civilians, and don't let the elves catch up!" The black-haired wizard didn't bother to explain, staring at him and shouting directly in a commanding tone:

"You promised them to send them home safely!

Looking at his somewhat hysterical expression, Brandon was a little stunned.

It took five seconds for His Royal Highness to finally recover.

"You... Don't tell me you're going to stay, take out that guy called 'Eugen' and then retreat... Tell me you don't think so, Loren. ”

"Someone has to kill him......" The black-haired wizard pulled the corners of his mouth bitterly, "Otherwise, the enemy only needs him to contain all of our remaining combat power - when the time comes, I'm afraid you won't even want to save a person." ”

"Let Grum destroy the elven fleet as much as possible, and you take Mirasis to cover the retreat of the Ebolden army and civilians... The little prince and Eugen will be handed over to me and Iollet. ”

Brandon, who was speechless, did not speak again, but nodded unexpectedly seriously.

"Protect our Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the future of the empire will depend on him. With a relaxed smile, Loren patted the jaw of the dragon Mirasis and stared at the amber pupils:

"Let him live well, to all of us... And dragons, they're all very important!"

[Don't worry, I'll protect him.] Milasis's voice rang in Loren's ears:

[You have to be careful yourself—let him be with him when you get along with Iorit, he's arrogant, but not bad.] 】

The black-haired wizard shrugged and didn't say anything.

As a gust of wind swept through the air, the dragon Milassis quickly disappeared from the air, turning into a black dot that could only be faintly seen.

Loren turned his head, his gaze refocused on the only silver-white patch in the fire.

Very good... It's time to deal with something you haven't done.

"Hoo ———!"

The convulsive "Eugen" raised the Azorean long knife in his hand stiffly again, and a large expanse of ice and snow danced with the blade, extinguishing the surrounding flames while also freezing one of the front paws of the dark blue dragon again.

Angry and screaming, Iolit struggled desperately, and the ruins around him continued to crumble and disintegrate, and earth and rocks fell.

"Alas, this stupid big man is still alive!"

In the midst of the roar, an elf girl hiding in the ruins covered in bandages widened her eyes in surprise: "Really-even people were almost burned to death by His Royal Highness the Prince, this guy looks like nothing at all?!"

Angry and puffing out her cheeks, the elf girl named Sheila, the second seat of the Imperial Court, hid in the ruins again, hiding herself more tightly.

In the explosion just now, "Eugen" used his ability and body to block almost all the explosions for her, so that the elf girl hiding in the corner was barely affected by the afterburners and air waves of the explosion.

Of course, the price is that a certain "chief samurai of the Overseer" has gone from being a relatively intact corpse to a complete "living dead" - his facial muscles are burned and festering, and the muscles on his body are directly burned into charcoal, revealing the white bones and long-rotten organs below.

But the ability of the Chief of the Overseer is really useful, with the puppet he made, maybe they can really defeat a dragon!

Yes...... After winning this battle, what reward do you want from His Royal Highness Rodriard? They are already the second seat in the Imperial Court, and even further up are the annoying Zade sisters and brothers, and as long as those two guys are still alive, they will definitely not have the slightest hope to say.

In that case, do you want to go to the Governor's Court to have a look? Kill the second seat of the Governor's Court and have someone else take over, and then climb to the top position step by step? No, no, no... This position is still too dangerous, and you will be sent out to perform super difficult tasks at every turn!

Sure enough, it is still the second seat of the imperial court that is more suitable for people, safe and status... Middle's nasty is shrewd.

In that case, then simply ask His Highness to leave Eugen's corpse as his strongest puppet... Well, the chief puppet of the Overseer, that sounds very powerful, very powerful!

But wouldn't that be too dangerous, and if someone found out, it would be difficult to explain, and His Royal Highness would definitely not help the lovely Sheila cover it up at that time......

Just as the elf girl was in distress, an indescribable chill suddenly hit the back of her neck, and the instinctive reaction of Xuera was just the moment she dodged, and a loud sound had exploded in her ears.

"Boom ——!"

The head-on "Dawn" sword smashed the elf girl's hiding place into pieces.

A panicked Shera raised her head, her big eyes full of fear - the demon wielding a great sword in one hand was sneering at her.

"When I heard Isaac tell me that the elf little sister escaped, I had a bad premonition, but I didn't expect that I really guessed it......"

Word by word, Loren bit the words very clearly, and a face full of innocence was reflected in the dark pupils: "The second seat of the Imperial Court, Sherra, the culprit who killed the old Duke of Lothair... That's you, right?"

"People didn't mean it!"

The elf girl covered in bandages shook her head desperately: "That's all an order given by His Royal Highness Rodria, and people obviously don't want to do it-but there is no way, who makes the family a warrior of the Four Courts!"

"So......" Loren was slightly stunned and looked at her playfully: "Is it a last resort?"

With her head down, the petite elf girl did not reply, but just cried "duh".

"Well, if that's the case, it's not incomprehensible, after all, I'm not that unreasonable; It's just for you to pay for your life. ”

Bell ——!!!!

The moment the words fell, the "Dawn" greatsword had already fallen head-on, and the elf girl who was still crying just now had already turned over and jumped up, and the delicate and small Azorean knife stabbed Loren in the jaw with a backhand.

——!

At the last moment, the bright silver sword stopped the tip of the sword, Xuela, whose expression was instantly cold, snorted and slid backwards to dodge, and the next second, Eugen, wielding a tattered long knife, was already wrapped in ice and snow and attacked Loren from behind.

Bang!

Loren swept backwards with his backhand sword, and the stiff "Eugen" couldn't dodge this sudden attack at all, and was directly knocked out, paralyzed in the ruins like a puddle of flesh.

But even so, the tattered body twitched and stood up again, obviously almost unable to see the shape, but the action was the same as just now.

"Oops, oops, it's not okay to treat a girl's doll so roughly. ”

The elf girl's voice rang out: "Sheila's 'puppet show' is to turn all the corpses she touches into her own dolls - after opening her state of mind, she can still have the ability to be the same as that person in life... In short, it's a better doll. ”

"It's impossible to destroy someone's doll with violence alone, and even if you can tear our Eugen to pieces again, he'll still be able to get back on his feet. ”

"After all... Clever girls can do it themselves and repair their favorite dolls. ”

"Is that so?" the black-haired wizard looked at her coldly:

"Like me, I'm more inclined to buy a new one. ”

"It's worthy of the Duke, it's just that he is used to saying such entrenched words. The elven girl smiled mischievously and shrugged her shoulders: "But you haven't told anyone yet, how do you defeat Eugen-sama who turned into a doll?"

"Look, he's here again. ”

Loren was startled, and he didn't think about it, but he turned around and slashed his sword—the moment before the ice blade split the back of his head, he was able to block it.

Obviously, he had just stood up, but the Eugen in front of him seemed to be a little stronger than just now.

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, Lord Duke—people's dolls don't just have the power of life, but all the power of life, so ......" the elven girl's voice sounded again:

"Be careful, don't give Eugen a chance to open the 'state of mind'!"
