Chapter 9: Confrontation
"Then it's just a matter of taking one step at a time and seeing when he comes to me. After saying this, Diarlando buried his head back in eating, anyway, it was useless to worry about it now.
The rest of the itinerary is as comfortable as being on vacation, everyone is eating, sleeping, and watching the scenery. Crossing the ocean from the sky is something many people have never experienced before, and this trip was an eye-opener for Luna, Achille and Dino, who like to run to the public platform to see the scenery when they have nothing to do.
Through the relationship between the children, Diarlando and Lan Li's group also naturally talked freely and exchanged the current situation.
When Fayl heard the rumors about the daughter of the Dreadhorn King, he was not very afraid, but he put his hand in his sleeve and touched the bronze bone staff. I've been idle for too long lately, and I'm about to forget the feeling of killing, and if someone is not afraid of death coming to find trouble, he doesn't mind having a few more targets to practice spells.
As the sun set in the west, Emerson Island came into view, and the undulating outline of the Hovland continent could already be seen at the distant sea level. The Eagle Tail Flower, arriving at the heart-shaped island of Emerson only an hour later than scheduled, and the captain did his talk, trying to make up for the time lost on the delayed flight.
Emerson Island is four times larger than Salar Island, and there are a total of eight airship platforms around the island, as this is not only a transit point for sky airships from Turanda into the Hovland mainland, but also other stopovers to other countries and the Big Island.
Burning street lamps guide the way, and the bumpy and battered travelers hurry to finish their meals. They each went back to their rooms to rest. Here, someone took the losses that had been checked in the morning for a second review, and began to enter the process of valuing compensation.
The thought of setting foot on the land of Hovland tomorrow made Diarlando a little excited, after all, it was the root of his line. And my father said that his biological mother is the sister of Alan Birmington, the current Queen of Hovland, who looks very similar to her mother. Although I have no impression of my biological mother at all, I am still very happy to see her loved ones.
With a good idea of the next day, he lay down on the bench in the private room and fell asleep, which was another sweet dreamless sleep. Ever since he imprisoned Fakelon in the Dragon Realm. It was as calm as if you were asleep. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Dearlando's sleep was very alert, so his body had already woken up before his consciousness could figure out what was happening.
There was a distinctively undulating sound in the air, sounding like a large flock of birds flapping their wings slowly. He pushed open the window and looked out. I found that two rows of sky airships were silently facing each other in the sky that had just turned a little white.
On one side is the royal airship of the Duchy of Hovland, which has the symbol of the seven-leaf lily. On the other side is a larger airship with a black tone that I just saw today.
The airship parade is like doing a social dance. One after the other lined up, each opening the weapons hatches aimed at the other. Dearlando's eyes can see normally in the dark, so he can see clearly. All open hatches were swarthy barrels. The flickering of fires could be seen through the gap, and it was clear that the men were ready to fire at any moment.
"Won't you...... This movement is too fast, and the staff is too big!" Zoya, who also woke up when she heard the voice, gently put Dino who was holding her on the bed, approached Diarlandor and looked out the window together.
"yes...... It seems that my aunt already knows my whereabouts, and of course the Dreadhorn King obviously does. It's just a matter of arresting individuals, and it is necessary to send ...... 2, 4, 6...... Send twelve sky airships. Dearrando lightly counted, and as far as he could see, the two sides had sent six airships each. And a little farther away, there are still some floating things slowly approaching, too far away to see the color, and I don't know if it is the Hovland royal or the Dreadhorn King.
"What now?" Zoya was a little annoyed, after all, she didn't expect that this time the Dreadhorn King would react so much. This speed is to transfer one-third of the nearby airships, and it seems that the other party must have a plan.
"Seeing their aggressive looks, I really want to fold their majesty. ”
Diarlando turned to Zoya and said, "What if I shoot them all down?" These guys have never seen Resace before, and they thought that a few warships would be able to do anything to me. ”
"......" Zoya looked up at the sky speechlessly, but after thinking for a while, she realized that this was really the best method. "Go ahead and do it, don't make too much trouble, after all, there will be a place for them in the future, and the Feather Clan is the second largest race here after humans. It's really out of control, and Zuihou's ending is a race war, and I think you must understand what that means. ”
"Rest assured...... I'm measured. With that, Dearlando opened the star box and fished out Reeth, who was still asleep.
"Hey, wake up, Reeth, let's go play a game, okay?" he whispered to the young dragon, it was a bit difficult to wake up only the young dragon and not Dino. He had to complete the shock operation before dawn, so he couldn't let Resace sleep until he woke up naturally.
Zuihou had no choice but to pick up Reeth's little tail and flick its ass with his fingers, and the unbearable young dragon finally bit his finger angrily and regained consciousness.
"......Bluff," Reeth let out a grunt of displeasure, sniffing the food to his mouth, and grunted up the breakfast the symbiote had brought to him with his eyes half-closed.
"Alright, have you been sober after eating, we're going to scare people and play! It's funny, Ressys, don't sleep!" Seeing that the young dragon had eaten enough to start the group again, Diarrando quickly shook its tail again, and finally made the young dragon completely hairy.
With a bang, half of the walls of this room were gone. Reseth, who got up super angry, asked impatiently, "What are you going to do? Destroy the fleet over there? I can sleep if I destroy it?"
"No, no. No need to extinguish. Just pop their balloons and throw them all into the shallow sea around this island, and you can't kill anyone. I'll have to negotiate with them later, and maybe they'll have clues about your trial ritual. ”
"Trouble! "The sleepy young dragon Hula suddenly became more than ten feet long. He slammed the remaining half of the wall, then ran two steps on the ground, and then floated like an arrow towards the black airship in the sky.
"Take care of them!" Leaving this sentence, Dearlando used the connection of the symbiote to teleport himself to the back of Ryseth, how could he miss such a fun thing. If the Dreadhorn King is really as arrogant and unreasonable as Zoya said, he should teach a lesson.
There was such a big commotion on his side. Both the people on Emerson Island and the airships facing each other in the sky have noticed. But noticing and having time to react are two different things entirely.
Reeth whistled past the balloons of the first and second black airships. With a flick of the tail, it directly exploded them. Before the people on board could even exclaim, they began to fall, and a huge white cloud of water vapor rose like a cloud. Suddenly obscured Dearlando's view.
"Oops. Don't throw them all to death. "Dearlando didn't expect the young dragon to get out of bed, and the young dragon was so ruthless. Hurriedly ordered to catch the falling ship.
"Boom! Trouble!" the young dragon spewed a fireball in dissatisfaction, and then went down the cloud of water vapor. It swooped after the falling black airship, before they were about to crash into the sea. The hull was tugged on with four claws, relieving the speed of the dive.
The two boats landed on the water after a thousand and eleven, and the huge balloon tied to their top was now covered the boat like a huge black cloak, and the people inside the boat screamed and shouted, and soon there was a flash of fire in the place, as if someone in the boat had accidentally burned the balloon cloth.
After such a delay, the other black airships began to move, they turned flexibly sixty degrees, then staggered each other, pointed their guns in the direction of Reeth, and began to fire their cannons.
Huge buckshot shot out of the swarthy muzzle with a thin spray of fire and a rumbling explosion, raining down on Ryseth.
The young dragon suddenly became interested when he saw it, opened his mouth, and a long pillar of flame erupted, hitting the lead bullet head-on. The swarthy buckshot grew redder and slower in the flames, and before it could reach the dragon, it turned into a semi-liquid state and fell to the sea.
Proudly looking up to the sky and roaring, the rising Resis swooped down over the two black airships again. In order to save trouble, it simply stretched its body to more than a hundred feet at once, almost as big as an airship.
Its high-speed air currents can stir up the airships in the sky, so not only the target of the Dreadhorn King's airship is unlucky, but even the Hovland Royal Fleet that came to help is also affected.
"Stand back!" said Dearlandor, yelling at Reeth as he once again skimmed the fleet at close range, giving the order to retreat. I don't know if they heard it clearly, but after a few moments, all the airships began to scatter.
That's right, in the face of a dragon like Reeth, it's a fool who doesn't go.
Unfortunately, Ryses has developed a huge interest in destroying balloons, and now he is swooping down on an airship, and then simply lying on top of the balloon, its weight will immediately sink the airship, and when it is almost close to the water, Resace will float up again, giving the airship a cushion space, and then bite the balloon in one bite.
It liked the sound of the oil canvas popping under its teeth, and after tearing one it did, it immediately pounced on the other, and in less than five minutes, the six pitch-black airships had all become the remnants of the defeated army floating on the water waiting to be rescued, and the airships in the distance who couldn't see which side were turning away, obviously frightened by the bravery of Rees.
Having lost his new toy, Resace turned around regretfully and looked at the white ones, and Deirrando immediately stroked the thin horn on the top of the young dragon, praised its performance, and told the young dragon that it was his relative's boat opposite, and that it should not be gnawed.
"It's boring...... I've just had a little fun. Reeth complained dissatisfiedly, and Deirlando comforted him with kind words: "Reeth, if that Thorn King dares to come and ask for trouble, we will go and gnaw all his ships." ”
Hearing this, Resis grinded his teeth excitedly, and then began to land on Emerson Island. It shrank as it flew, and when it reached the top of the room, it simply retracted to its original size, allowing Deirlandor to jump to the ground on its own.
Hearing the sound, everyone on the island was awakened from their sleep, and at this moment the nearby guards rushed here, except for a few people on duty. The others all got out of bed, each in their pajamas, carrying long knives in their hands.
"Dragon...... Dragon, dragon ......" will repeat this word in everyone's mouth, unlike the people of Turanda, who have frequently seen starlight dragons in recent years, there has been no real dragon in the Hovland continent for a thousand years. Although Resace is not showing his extreme physique, it is enough to make everyone panic and worship.
Zoya and Dino both changed their clothes, and Dino saw Diarlando screaming excitedly: "That's great! I'm going to blow up the airship too, it's so fun, Weishenme won't take me? Dill is a big villain, there are good things to be done by himself." Riceth will play with me next time!
Touching Trumpet's head helplessly, Diarlando replied: "You are too young, and it is not my thick-skinned physique, is it too dangerous to take you there?" In the future, when it is safe to do so, you can let Resace take you to fly. ”
Dino's little face turned red with excitement, and he said loudly: "Oh, you must not go back on what you said!
As they spoke, the captain of the island's guard, Faka, came running, sweating profusely and looking panicked, but he couldn't help but come with his duty. I had to wait more than thirty feet and began to greet carefully: "Excuse me...... Is this His Royal Highness Dearrando? Queen Allen has something to say to you. ”
"Ah, isn't it, aunt, she's here too?" said Darlando in surprise to Zoya, and then beckoned, letting the captain come closer to speak.
I saw the captain come over with a birdcage, and inside was a very beautiful bird of emerald green. When the bird saw Diarrando, he tilted his head for a moment and then suddenly opened his mouth in a human voice: "Ah, my dear nephew, you look so much like my sister!" (to be continued......)
