The residents, who had finally recovered their lives, fell into a state of panic again amid the dragon's roar that resounded through the Boulder Fort. And the noble soldiers also hurriedly put on their armor and hurriedly threw out the temporarily requisitioned houses.

After receiving the panicked report from his subordinates, Zheng Ming and Arthur and a group of generals ascended to the top of the city.

However, what awaited them was not the enemy army that attacked in a big way, but the golden dragon Mongard and its lord Vellius, who stood alone outside the city.

To be honest, this situation really exceeded Zheng Ming's expectations. In his expectation, either the other party would make a senseless death-defying counterattack, and finally be defeated by the surrounding army under the obstruction of himself and others.

Or, they won't return to the Boulder Fort at all, and they will be dragged into a desperate situation by Zheng Ming's previous arrangement directly on the way.

So, out of curiosity, he carefully looked at Villius, who was called by the golden dragon under the city wall.

Under the Boulder Fort.

In this information, as the queen of Cesara, the vase-like dragon knight raised her head to look at the people on the city wall.

A man and a dragon seem to have been abandoned by the world, exuding a desperate will to die at the same time, but also an amazing spirit and persistence.

"Arthur, following the ancient knightly rites, I, the dragon knight of the Ronan Kingdom, and Villius will sit down together with the golden dragon Menggard and send you a life-and-death battle."

Under the hoarse cry of Vellius, he could barely pass on to the duel proposal on the Boulder Castle, which made Arthur a little embarrassed. Neither as a king nor as a knight, her glory did not allow her, to bully the weak, to accept a duel in which the strength of the two sides was clearly unequal.

"You're sending you to death. Let's go back. Go and bring your army over. ”

Arthur's refusal made Velius's face change, and she looked at the people on the city wall with a grim face, and exclaimed.

"Are you looking down on me? I'm a dragon knight and I don't need your sympathy. Take on my challenge. If you're still a man. Or are you afraid of losing to me? Lost to a woman? ”

The provocation from Velius from afar made Zheng Ming couldn't help but show a strange look. However, then he saw the other party's determined eyes, and that serious expression.

"Heh, this is a vase? The information is wrong. I didn't expect that guy from Cesar to marry a good woman. ”

After secretly sighing in his heart, Zheng Ming looked at the hesitant Arthur and took the initiative to ask for battle.

"Let me, king. Since the enemy has a will to die, let me give her a ride. ”

"Naruto ......"

Before Arthur could make up his mind, he was interrupted by the people around him.

"Be careful, this could be a trap."

"That's right. Lord Shadow of the Throne, you can't be careless. How could the other party only send a weak person who was not even level twenty-five to come to the duel? What's more, she's just a woman, not even a knight. She probably didn't even know what the knightly regulations were. ”

Under Zheng Ming's forced gaze, the people who were talking gradually lowered their voices, and Zheng Ming snorted coldly at them with disdain.

"I know that you both look down on her because the other person is a woman. But I just want to ask, if I or the king die in battle, do you dare to duel the enemy commander alone? You don't dare! You will surrender, you will surrender, pay a ransom, and then return to your family territory like a lost dog, and continue to be your lord and noble. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Ming ignored the pale-faced crowd, turned around and walked in front of Arthur. I saw him kneeling on one knee, his right hand spread out in front of Arthur, and his face was serious.

"Wang, I, Shadow of the Throne, Zheng Ming, am willing to accept the other party's challenge in the tradition of knighthood. Regardless of body or death, it is my wish, and whether it is victory or defeat, it is all glory. Thank you for your permission. ”

Arthur looked at the solemn and solemn man in front of him who was saluting, his heart was churning, and his eyes were complicated. Probably out of possessiveness, she saw that Zheng Ming admired and admired the other party so much, and a trace of jealousy surged in her heart.

Whether as a king or as a lover, she knew that she should not show these emotions at this time. So she took a deep breath, pulled out the sword at her waist, and touched Zheng Ming's palm with the tip of the sword.

"I grant you, my knight. I hope you will obey the knight's courtesy, remember the knight's rules, and return triumphantly. ”

In the eyes of everyone looking at each other, Zheng Ming, who had obtained Arthur's permission, completed the most solemn knightly salute, turned around and jumped down from the city wall.

The black liquid in his hand condensed into a black umbrella. With the support of the black umbrella, Zheng Ming floated down to the city, not far from Vilius.

"I am the Ancient Dragon, the Shadow of the Throne of Celtic, the Commander of the Dragon and Lion Legion, Zheng Ming. I'll take on your dueling challenge. ”

Hearing Zheng Ming report his home, the hatred in Velius' eyes flashed.

"It's you! It was because of you that Cesar died. ”

"Yes, that's me. Let me give you another ride one last time. lest you end up miserable like other royal ladies after the death of the country. ”

After receiving Zheng Ming's seemingly defiant response, Villius did not get angry. Instead, he showed a sad expression. After a few heartfelt laughs, she regained her composure.

"Mongard, help me shred him apart."

"Roar."

At Villius's request, the golden dragon Mongard, who had been guarding behind her, spread his wings. In the high-spirited roar, the golden light flowed, and then fluttered its wings and pounced on Zheng Ming.

"Roar."

The same dragon roar, but compared to the golden dragon Mengjiade, the voice of the ancient dragon transformed by Zheng Ming was thicker and louder, and the coercion in it was even more incomparable to him.

Under the guidance of the golden dragon Menggard, he transformed into the form of an ancient dragon, spread his dragon wings, which were nearly one-third larger than the other party, and also soared into the air, chasing after him far away from Velius.

Even though Zheng Ming's energy level had stagnated for many days, the energy boost obtained by Devouring Soldiers was almost a drop in the bucket. However, after devouring the thunder dragon Hergrera, it still brought him the changes in the dragon's body and the recovery of his injuries.

At this time, the dragon body was already nearly twenty-five meters, and Zheng Ming, who was able to use thunder attribute energy to fight, could be said to have completely surpassed the combat power of the Golden Dragon Menggade.

Soon, Zheng Ming, who was covered in thunder and light, caught up with his speed alone, and turned to the golden dragon with a keen flying ability that surpassed him. Immediately after that, ignoring the opponent's sharp metallic energy, he started a hand-to-hand combat with him.

Dragon's blood spurted, wailing and roaring. The golden dragon who was grabbed by Zheng Ming and ripped off half of the dragon's wings fell from the sky with Zheng Ming in his arms, and fell to the ground fiercely, kicking off large areas of grass clippings and dirt.

Although Mengard resisted vigorously and had a very tenacious will to fight, under the disproportionate comparison of combat power, he still quickly fell into disadvantage, and was finally bitten off by Zheng Ming.

Zheng Ming recovered his human body, and after devouring the lifeless Mengad, he looked at Velius, who was drenched with tears in the corner of his eyes not far away.

After the dragon corpse of the golden dragon Menggard disappeared, Zheng Ming turned around and walked slowly towards Villius. Both he and she knew that as Cesar's wife, the queen of the deceased king, it was best to die here.

When Zheng Ming and the Golden Dragon Menggaard fought, Velius recognized the situation. They can't be Zheng Ming's opponents.

However, seeing that the golden dragon was quickly falling into disadvantage, she did not say anything to stop it. Velius had made it clear that he would die long before he came to the duel, but Mongard flew her here and protected her as always.

Villius understood that this was the other party's decision. At the same time, there is some selfishness in it. She hoped that if she died, the other party could be by her side. As it had been for nearly twenty years, just as when she was a little girl, the other party had first come and promised her.

Now, her two closest beings, her husband Cesar and her golden dragon Menggad, have both passed away.

"It's time. It's my turn. “

Thinking of this, death didn't seem to scare her so much. However, as a woman of Western Sahara, as the queen of Ronan, she did not allow herself to be slaughtered like a lamb to the slaughter. If she had to die, she wished she had died like a knight.

So she raised her slender jade hand and launched the magic that she had been practicing secretly for a long time at Zheng Ming, who was walking slowly.

An orange fireball the size of a human head appeared out of thin air and struck towards Zheng Ming. However, this attack, which she had once fantasized about practicing hard for her husband's worries, failed to stop Zheng Ming's footsteps in the slightest, and crashed into his body and shattered into sparks that quickly dissipated.

Looking at Zheng Ming, who was not damaged at all after being attacked, Velius looked stunned. The difference in strength between the two sides was so huge that it made her a little desperate.

In a trance, Zheng Ming had already walked in front of her, and at a close distance of less than a few steps, the huge momentum and substance-like coercion exuded by the other party continued to stir her tense nerves.

"What kind of monster is this? Is this what Cesara is fighting against this kind of monster? ”

Under the suppression of Zheng Ming's monstrous arrogance, Velius only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and the right hand hidden behind her was constantly trembling as if he had an independent consciousness. I can't suppress it.

"Hah!"

She shouted as hard as she could, and with this brief composure, she stabbed straight with her right hand that gripped the dagger.

“ping~~~”

However, this blow, which was almost desperate, was easily blocked by Zheng Ming. Under the parry of the long knife in his hand, her white and tender palm was suddenly cracked by the jumping tiger's mouth, and blood flowed.

"Damn, if I hadn't been a thin woman, if I had come into contact with the magic inheritance earlier, if I had practiced more desperately...... Nor will they face the enemy without even a trace of scarring. ”

As if the pain had dispelled the fear, Velius's trembling body calmed down. She gritted her teeth and attacked Zheng Ming again.

“ting~ting~ting~ting……”

The sound of each iron colliding was a sign of Velius being ejected by the force of the weapon, as well as the constant cracking of her palm.

Zheng Ming frowned and stared at the woman who kept getting up and stubbornly attacking herself, she was so weak that she didn't need Zheng Ming to attack, and the reaction force of the collision of weapons alone made her right palm bloody and blurry, making her unable to hold the weapon.

After seeing that Villius finally attacked and was shot to the ground, he did not get up again. Zheng Ming could see that the other party had exhausted all his energy and physical strength.

"Is that enough?"

Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Zheng Ming didn't care, he raised the long knife in his hand and aimed the tip of the knife at the back of the other party's heart. Looking at the other party's lying on the ground, his undulating back, he finally did not end the other party's life immediately.

"I didn't like when I was fighting. However, based on your constant attacks despite the disparity in strength, I have to say that you are an opponent worthy of respect. ”

"Heh, kill if you want to kill. Do you think that if you say a few words of nonsense, I will be grateful to you and promise you? ”

It seemed that he was used to seeing men who coveted her, and Velius was unimpressed by Zheng Ming's words.

"No, I said you had to die today. I don't allow an opponent I respect to be bullied like a commodity because of defeat. ”

Feeling Zheng Ming's categorical and unwavering killing intent, Villius's heart was calm. She turned her head to look at Zheng Ming's condescending eyes, seemingly ruthless and compassionate, and asked softly.

"Cesara, my husband. He went there to encircle you. If you are here, it means that he has failed. Can you tell me what happened to him in the end? ”

Zheng Ming looked at the dazzling light that suddenly flickered in Velius' lifeless eyes, and was silent for a moment.

He didn't say that Cesar wasn't dead when he left, and he didn't know what happened in the end. Instead, he chose to hide the truth.

"Him. Like you, a respectable opponent. It caused me a lot of trouble and almost left me there. ”

"Really? Is it just a little bit? ”

At the end of his look, Vellius, who had lost all his strength and did not resist, glanced at him, as if he had anticipated the coming end, and the other party's face was full of calm.

"Yes. Just a little bit. ”

Zheng Ming's affirmative reply sounded with the sound of a sharp weapon piercing into the flesh, and Zheng Ming unleashed his devouring ability against Velius, who had lost his life in a pool of blood.

"The world is so harsh on women. I want to sweep all the kingdoms as soon as possible, get Arthur out of here as soon as possible, and let her live in a relatively tolerant world.

Zheng Ming, who had secretly made up his mind in his heart, walked towards the Boulder Fort under the strange eyes of everyone on the city wall. After this incident, he was even more determined to start the plan that he had already planned in his heart.

Since then, all the seven dragons who participated in the contract war have died except for the red dragon Ralton. However, the legendary sword of the dragon god did not show the slightest trace.

For a time, speculation arose that the battle of the contract would only be completed by conquering all the kingdoms, and that the unidentified Eighth Dragons and the Red Dragon Ralton would only see the winner.

And it was also when all kinds of speculation and rumors were spreading that the army led by Seon, Locke, and Kay seized the weapons and armor of the Ronan Lane coalition army, and pressed the generals of the two countries who surrendered, and rushed to the Boulder Fort.
