Chapter 5: The Dragon's Lair

After the shimmering gold departed, Luke's motorvoy traveled without incident. Along the way, you can see that the city is depressed a lot, and people are walking in a hurry, looking into the air vigilantly from time to time.

The presence of one dragon is enough to cause panic, not to mention the fact that there are sixteen dragons this time. They take turns attending, harassing the skies above the city of Saint-Lun. Moreover, these guys have an excellent appetite and only eat meat, and the empire has been providing them with meat continuously in order not to let them choose human hunger.

"These dragons have recently fallen in love with roasting whole beef, and now there are a hundred chefs who make barbecue for them......"

Talking about the dragon, Agatha felt a pain in her skull.

Luke put aside the matter for a moment, believing that his public use of the ancient Sparkling language would make the Sparkling Elders' House of Elders take the matter with caution. After all, the turmoil of the assassination of the Elder of the Shimmering Gold by the Shadow Clan has not subsided, the angel suddenly descended on the Holy Lun City, and then the Dragon Clan came again, in this kind of great change, the Sparkling Gold people will not regard the empire with uncertain hole cards as their primary enemy.

It's better to deal with these dragons first, and bad things don't necessarily mean that they can't become good things.

Hearing what the dragons were eating, Luke asked, "Do these big guys pay for their meals?" ”

"What do you think?"

"I definitely didn't give it! It's not okay not to give money, and our cattle are not blown by the wind. How much does it cost to feed this group of dragons? ”

Agatha did a rough calculation: "About one and a half million Reichsmarks a day." ”

"Take them ten million. They occupy the steel mills, how much do they lose in a day? ”

"That's about one and a half million Reichsmarks."

"We can't let the factory owners who pay taxes for the empire suffer such a big loss, let this group of dragons pay 10 million for accommodation and 10 million for food every day. With this money, it should be no problem for the empire to raise this group of dragons. ”

Agatha thought Luke was joking with herself, and smiled and cooperated: "Such a good thing, of course, is how much to raise." ”

"The money earned, I will split the account with you. I'm six, you're four, no problem. ”

Agatha smiled, "You're not really going to make the dragon pay for it, are you?" ”

Luke laughed and said, "You don't think the dragon can't afford to pay for it. ”

Realizing that Luke wasn't joking, Agatha said simply, "As long as you can keep the dragon safe and not disturb the normal life of the residents of St. Lun City, and pay this money obediently, you will be seven and three." ”

"Deal!"

Luke stretched out his hand, and Agatha slapped him heavily on the palm: "Deal!" ”

The convoy left the city and soon arrived at the steel mill, which was occupied by the dragons.

At this time, there was not a single trace of smoke coming out of the chimney of the steel mill, but the smell of barbecue wafted everywhere. The workers in the steel mill had long since fled without a trace, and only a mobilized army of city garrisons was stationed on the periphery of the steel mill.

Luke and Agatha got out of the car and were immediately greeted by the commander of the army.

Agatha is the eldest princess of the Empire, and Luke is also the captain of the City Garrison.

The officer saluted Agatha and Luke.

Luke casually returned the salute and then observed the situation at the steel mill.

There is a high fence outside the steel mill, and the entrances and exits are now sealed off by the military with iron fences, leaving only a small opening for personnel to enter and exit. The army was stationed on the side of the steel mill facing the city, and the eight steam airships were warmed up and lifted off the ropes. There are also rows of war machines neatly arranged under the awning, on which a camouflage net is laid.

Other important military equipment was housed in dug pits and all were visually camouflaged.

The Legion of the City of St. Lun is one of the main armies of the Empire, and although it has undergone a major reorganization after the coup d'Γ©tat in Fania, its quality is still very high.

The roar of a dragon came from inside the steel mill.

The commander explained, "The dragon has laid a lot of detection magic and magic traps in the steel mill, and they should know that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and the marquis are coming. ”

Luke turned on the Thunder Flame Pupil to look at the steel mill, where there were many special streams of magic flowing through it.

The artifact of the dragon clan is the rainbow arch, and the divinity of the rainbow arch is magic. Therefore, the dragons not only have a strong physique, but also have a strong ability to cast spells. The magic of the secular world traces its roots to the magic of the dragons.

The steel mill in the field of vision of the thunder and fire pupil is shrouded in various magic streams, and the brilliant and colorful light is like a fairy tale world.

Luke ordered, "Order all of your airships to take to the skies and enter a state of first-level combat readiness, so that the dragons will realize that you will attack at any time." ”

The commander was taken aback when he heard this order: "Legion Commander, are you really going to fight the dragon?" ”

"Are you scared?"

The commander looked embarrassed, but quickly adjusted his state, and said loudly: "I'm afraid! But the City Garrison Regiment resolutely carried out the orders of the corps commander. ”

After speaking, the commander led his officers to the camp, and soon the whole barracks surged, all the soldiers rushed to their positions, and the steam airship quickly rose into the air with white smoke.

Agatha was afraid of influencing Luke's authority in the army, so she didn't say anything in front of his subordinates, and waited for the officers to leave before asking, "You're not afraid of annoying the dragon, really fighting?" ”

"Don't be fooled by the dragons' appearance, they're all smart guys, at least most of them are smart. Their reckless behavior is actually a test of the strange world in their eyes, and also to see where our bottom line is.

Rest assured, as long as they realize that we have the ability to fight a local war with them, and can defeat them on our home turf, the dragon will not dare to go to war with us easily.

After all, their primary adversary is not ours. ”

After listening to Luke's explanation, Agatha said, "Okay! You know more about ancient civilizations than I do, listen to your ...... The Empire is ready to slay sixteen dragons here. ”

"That's what you want. Walk...... Enter the Dragon's Lair. ”

Luke and Agatha led their entourage to the steel mill, and the soldiers guarding the gate quickly removed the obstacles and opened the iron gate.

Entering the steel mill, a faint layer of fog quickly rose around it. Factories and buildings loom in the mist, and huge figures pass through the sky.

Agatha's close female officer walked to the front and shouted loudly, "Your Highness Agatha, the eldest princess of the Golden Shield Empire, Lord Meteorite, Marquis of Fury, has come to visit and ask to see King Tyranny, the Golden Dragon. ”

The female officer's voice echoed in the quiet factory area, and a passage appeared in the fog.

The team walked through the passageway, and when they reached an open field, their vision suddenly opened up.

The square is surrounded by high barricades made of large steel ingots, and there are sixteen in all. There were nine dragons lying on the high base, staring at the approaching humans in a haughty manner. The scales of the nine-headed dragon vary in color, and the dragon in the center is larger than the others, and the scales on its body glow like gold.

He was the Golden Dragon King Tyrann who led these dragons across the ocean to the Holy Lun City.

Agatha and Luke stepped forward and saluted the golden dragon Tyranny.

King Tyron puffed out two puffs of smoke from his nose, which was considered a "return gift".

Agatha said in her capacity as the eldest princess of the Empire, "Honorable King Tyranny, the Golden Dragon, I have come to pay a formal representation to the dragon for a series of disturbing acts in the Holy Lun City.

We hope that the dragons will abide by the order we have established, so that the citizens of the empire can travel safely and securely. ”

King Tyran puffed out two more puffs of smoke before he said contemptuously, "When the dragon soared over this land, it was still a wasteland and a forest. You are the latecomers, so why should the great dragon obey your rules? ”

Luke stepped forward and said, "With our ability to keep you by the rules, at least in this land, we make the rules and have the ability to enforce them. ”

King Taryn looked at Luke, "You are arrogant, who are you?" ”

"Governor of Angry Waves Meteor."

"Angry Waves! We've seen that city in the storm, and it's magnificent. ”

"I see you too. Moving forward in the storm is admirable. ”

"If you've seen ancient warfare, you know that storms like that are nothing to dragons. If you know the power that the dragon possesses, you know how stupid your provocation can be. ”

Luke smiled and said, "Not long ago there was an angel who went through an ancient war who said the same thing, but unfortunately ...... She was defeated by an elf.

King Tyranny, do you want to verify whether we have the ability to guard the rules? ”

Luke's challenge enraged the dragons, and the other eight dragons rose from the high base and roared in anger. Elemental power was unleashed, condensing a variety of colors of light on the dragon's scales.

As soon as the Golden Dragon gave the order, they immediately launched an all-elemental magic bombardment against the provocateur.

King Tyranny, the golden dragon, stared at Luke and raised his front paws, and the dragons immediately fell silent.

"Elven Clear Sky, Queen of the Moonlight. I've heard that she defeated the pre-herald Holy Book Theresia, an angel who has slain many dragons and fought me many times.

I thought Clear Sky would challenge me, but I didn't expect it to be you.

This made me disappointed and angry. ”

Luke smiled and said, "If Miss Sunny Sky needs to come forward for everything, wouldn't it seem that the rest of us are too incompetent." If we only have one Miss Sunny Sky, why should we make rules on this land! ”

At this time, the black dragon closest to the golden dragon said, "King Tyran, according to your identity, this human is not qualified to challenge you. Please let me fight, and I'll let him know what happens to the defiant dragon. ”

King Tyran stared at Luke, then nodded.

With permission, the black dragon spread its wings and jumped off the high base. He stood ten meters tall and fifteen meters long from head to tail, and the scales on his body shone like obsidian. Shaking the body, the scales rubbing and rattling.

Seeing that the black dragon was so powerful, Agatha couldn't help but worry about Luke's safety: "I think it's too risky...... It's still the two of us fighting together, and according to the weight class, we are the losing side. ”

Luke said to Agatha, "My Highness, this is not a boxing match, it's not about weight. You get back to safety first, I've got a helper. ”

Agatha thought that Luke's helper was clear skies, so she was relieved.

"Be careful!"

Agatha retreated to the outside of the field with the rest of the staff, and the dragons unleashed their magic together, using a barrier to enclose a man and a dragon in the middle.

Luke asked the black dragon, "The black dragon who killed the four Imperial citizens in the city of Shenglun is you." ”

The black dragon simply admitted: "It's me...... The iron box that could run was so brittle that it flattened when it was pressed a little. ”

"A traffic hit-and-run causing death constitutes a traffic accident and should be sentenced to more than seven years in prison," Luke said. This is the law of the empire, the rules we have made.

If you win against me, you can be unruly; And if I win you, you will obediently go to the Imperial prison to serve your sentence. ”

"That's your rule, you can't restrain the dragon!"

The black dragon didn't get on Luke's trap, and as soon as his ass turned, his thick tail swept towards Luke.

Luke didn't dodge and kicked at the sweeping dragontail.

The collision of the two forces made a loud noise, and in a circle of ripple spreading, the black dragon's tail was kicked back, and Luke also slid sideways for more than ten meters.

Now that Luke is fighting, he is no longer clumsy.

The Greedy Red Dragon Spear summoned and held it in his hand, and the thunder fire pupil of his right eye was activated, and the ring of fire rose from under his feet and steamed, and the electricity pulsed around him. Fireworks erupted from his nose, and his left eye turned into a vertical pupil.

A whirlwind of dragon power erupted from Luke's body, and the wind pressure pushed towards the black dragon with might.

"You...... It's a dragon! No, what the hell are you? ”

When the black dragon saw Luke, who had changed, the scales on his neck all stood up. The other dragons, including the golden dragon King Tyranny, all stood up, hissing from their mouths.

They could all feel the dragon aura emanating from Luke's body, and the material from which the gun was made was taken from the dragon's body.

"What am I? Look with your eyes! ”

In the face of the black dragon, Luke didn't dare to be careless, and the dragon pattern on the back of his right hand holding the gun flew out, turning into gluttony in electricity and fire.

Now the gluttonous beard is more majestic than before, dressed in gold and red armor, and stepping on the fire cloud and electric engine under his feet. Even in the face of a black dragon that is many times larger than himself, the momentum exuded by the gluttony is not weak at all, and the dragon power is even better.

Another strange dragon stunned the dragons.

How did this come about?

And when the gluttony came out, the Golden Dragon King Tyran didn't have the nervousness he had just now. He snorted through his nose, and the other dragons all bowed their heads at the hearing, and then lay down again.

King Tyran glanced at Luke, who was also lying on the high base, and he did not speak, but his eyes kept looking at the gluttony, with inscrutable emotion.

In the field, facing Luke and Glutton, who exuded the breath of a pure dragon clan, the black dragon lost his previous arrogant energy. When I opened my eyes, I saw a person and an unidentified creature that looked somewhat like a dragon; When you close your eyes, you can perceive a two-headed dragon.

And...... The dragon-like creature that was summoned still had the feeling of an ancient dragon.

The black dragon took a defensive stance, first using magic to strengthen the scales' defenses, then strengthening his own magic resistance, and then erecting several shields around his body.

With the chanting of the ancient dragon language, a magic array unfolded, and the magic power accumulated in the magic array, like a floating fort.

Luke didn't expect that the black dragon, who was the strongest of the dragon clan with his strong physique, would put on a posture of being a shrinking turtle fighting for magic consumption.

It's too unmartial arts!
