December 10, 4123 A.D. There are two days left before the scheduled voyage to the destination, Luyun City.

Although the journey was not smooth and there were many casualties, this long voyage was finally coming to an end. But the most lax time is also the most dangerous time. So Admiral Jerich has been urging the soldiers to stay on guard and ready for battle.

The Admiral's approach was correct, at noon, a red figure flew from the southeast sky, a huge fire dragon, it approached the fleet of the Momiji Empire from a high altitude, easily broke through the air interception of the Sky Knight, and rushed towards a battleship, and the huge fire that erupted easily ignited the battleship in its entirety.

The evil dragon has once again attacked the fleet of the Momiji Empire. The entire fleet went into combat condition. However, in the face of this powerful enemy from the sky, the fleet on the sea did not have any effective means of counterattack, and mainly relied on those air forces.

Although the Red Leaf Empire also has two Wyverns, and Evan and Jerrick are also dispatched, the Wyvern is only a subspecies of the dragon clan after all, and when facing the dragon, whether it is in size, magic or strength, it is far from the same, and it cannot cause much damage to the evil dragon. The evil dragon, on the other hand, could easily knock the beasts down, and a single dragon groan was enough to scare the dragon backwards and flee.

The proud fire dragon attacked the fleet of the Momiji Empire again and again, and one warship after another was set on fire. After more than an hour of fighting, the dragon's wreak was finally over, and the victorious dragon played the tiny humans to its heart's content, and then left contentedly, leaving behind a mass of burning fireships on the sea.

Thankfully, the dragon didn't attack the same ship repeatedly, and the burning ship could concentrate all its efforts on extinguishing the fire. After more than an hour of rescue, the ships were able to extinguish the flames and did not sink. But the soldiers who were burned in the flames were numerous, and the medics and priests were busy.

After spending the afternoon in fear, the soldiers of the fleet did not have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and in the evening, the terrifying fire-breathing dragon reappeared in the eyes of the people.

This time, it rushed straight into the airship Liberty in the sky. The dragon's body was so huge, almost as long and as tall as an airship, with thick scales that could easily withstand the attacks of various weapons. A fierce battle unfolds between the airship and the dragon to protect the princess. The warriors bravely rushed forward and struck the behemoth with a variety of weapons, although it did not have much effect.

The airship began to descend urgently, and Princess Linya herself joined the battle, summoning a powerful artifact, the Ice Crystal Bow. Again and again, he accurately shot the dragon, causing the dragon to scream in pain. The magicians are also constantly bombarding the dragon with magic. In particular, the two magisters, Gandra and Moita, have water and nature magic attacks. Constantly deal damage to the evil fire dragon.

The seemingly powerful and invincible dragon finally showed its fatigue, and as if enraged, it rushed close to the airship and slapped its huge claws at Princess Linya. But Princess Linya waved her wings and deftly dodged. Praetorian Captain Aven swung his sword and slashed at the dragon's claws, stabbing diagonally into the dragon's body through the gaps in the scales.

The evil fire dragon roared in pain and slapped its claws back. Throwing Evan out of the airship and crashing into the side deck of the airship, he fainted with blood spitting from his mouth.

But the soldiers, inspired by the brave princess, continued to attack the dragon fiercely, and the Liberty airship finally landed on the surface. The battleships around him surrounded and launched a siege on the evil dragon, and the injured evil dragon finally couldn't hold on, grabbed the unconscious dragon slayer warrior Aiwen, left the airship and fled.

Looking at the fleeing dragon, the soldiers who had been fighting for a long time couldn't help but cheer. Fighting off such a formidable enemy again would be a great victory for everyone. Although the soldiers were wounded, their morale was unprecedentedly high.

At this time, Admiral Jelik brought in a report that the air cavalry sent to reconnoiter had found the dragon's lair, on a small island in the southeast. Princess Linya convened an expanded military council, at which Princess Linya decided to take the initiative to take the opportunity to crusade against the evil dragon, rescue the warriors captured by the dragon, and maintain the peace of the sea. Since it was getting late, the raid would be scheduled for the morning of the 11th, and the fleet would also turn to the target islands.

On the morning of the 11th, the fleet had reached a position not far from the island of Dragon's Lair. Jerich selected more than a thousand elite soldiers from the fleet and legions to form a powerful raiding party, an elite force of knights, warriors, magicians, priests, and rangers, where the elite of the entire fleet was concentrated. Princess Linya also took it upon herself to go into battle, aboard the advance fleet with the Knights of the Rose's guards and raiders.

Two hours later, the advance fleet landed on Dragon Island. The soldiers lined up in a neat line, waiting for Her Royal Highness the princess's pre-battle lecture.

"Soldiers!"

"Warriors, every one of you is a warrior, because today you will accomplish a record-breaking feat! Because you will kill an evil dragon today!"

"This is an unprecedented feat! You will go down in history and be remembered and worshiped forever by future generations! You are worthy heroes!"

Princess Linya put on a phoenix armor today, and she also wore a bright red cloak on her back, looking particularly energetic, heroic, and high-spirited, which is very different from the usual sweet and cute little princess image.

"Indeed, this is a terrifying and powerful dragon, with fiery dragon flames and sharp claws, capable of killing a person with ease - one might wonder why we risk our lives to do such a thankless task, why don't we just dodge it...... Remember, it can hurt others today, it can hurt you and me tomorrow, and it can kill your relatives and friends the day after tomorrow!

Linya said excitedly as she held up Susanna's sword, but Jerrick was a little crying and laughing. And world peace, huh.

"Actually, this evil dragon is not as powerful and invincible as imagined. Yesterday's battle has proved that it can be defeated! Moreover, there are more of our warriors! Now, let us rush forward and destroy it! Glory is yours, warriors! The treasure of the dragon awaits us!

Princess Linya's voice, which would make people feel sweet and refreshing no matter how you listen to it, finally stopped, and the speech ended. The soldiers shouted excitedly, raised their weapons, and began to advance towards the dragon's lair at the top of the mountain.

The fire dragon, who had been waiting impatiently, flew out and bombarded the team below with dragon flames from the air, while the Momiji army returned fire with various ranged weapons. However, the most effective attacks are the Magician's magic attack, as well as Linya's Ice Crystal Arrow.

The fierce battle had been going on for a full hour, and the evil fire dragon was getting more and more seriously injured under the constant attacks, and finally it could not bear it anymore, flapping its wounded flesh wings in an attempt to escape. At this time, of course, it was the time for the dragon slaying princess as the protagonist to perform, Linya spread her wings and flew up, pulled out the artifact ice crystal bow, and shot the ice crystal arrow full of water energy with all her strength.

The ice arrow accurately hit the dragon's other fleshy wing. Cut through a large piece of flesh film. The dragon screamed and fell from the sky, smashing a large hole into the ground.

"Kill, victory is at hand!" Jelik led the charge, and the soldiers swarmed him and stabbed the dragon with all sorts of weapons.

However, unwilling to fail, the dragon began its final struggle, using its huge tail and sharp teeth and claws to slap the incoming soldiers out one by one, and balls of dragon flames erupted in all directions. Splashes of blood, glittering sword lights, angry dragon roars, screams of pain, and magic of all colors, the once desolate island is now a lively place.

Under the continuous attack of the human soldiers, the almost invincible dragon finally showed fatigue, its movements became more and more sluggish, the fireballs it spewed became weaker and weaker, and its body was covered with punctured wounds, and blood flowed all over the ground.

Thinking that Barakas should have had enough, Linya decided that it was time to strike the final blow. According to the plan, Linya spread her wings and bravely flew towards the evil dragon, dodging the dragon's swing and dragon flames, and landed on the dragon's neck.

The scales covered under the neck are the thinnest, and according to the plan, Linya will launch the final blow against the dragon from here, pierce the dragon's neck, kill the dragon, complete the story, and finally become the princess of the dragon slayer.

But it always backfires. Linya couldn't swing the sword too heavy, so she only took Susanna's rapier. When she stabbed at the neck of the fire dragon, she couldn't pierce it at once, and Linya could only use more force, and the blade of the thin sword was bent.

Still won't work. Linya suddenly felt a little soreness in her arm, did she exert too much force. The loose sword bounced back, and the hilt slammed right into Linya's head. Linya screamed in pain, lost her balance, and fell backwards.

Barakas didn't feel right, but he couldn't see what was going on when he looked back.

Then a voice came from the sky: "Damn it, dare to hurt my dear little moon!" A sword glowing with white light shot down, followed by a woman in red with red wings.

Well, that's a pair of magically condensed wings, and you can only glide, not fly. But this voice also seems a little familiar.

The white shadow of the sword pierced the dragon's neck, and Barakas groaned and fell like a hill. The woman in red hugged Linya, who was falling, and gently floated to the ground.

"Are you alright, my dear little moon?" the woman in red asked softly, holding Linya in her arms.

"Uh...... I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy......" Linya's vision finally became clearer, but after seeing the face in front of her, Linya was dumbfounded. "You...... Cyryl?" (to be continued......)
