Chapter 488 Strange Fire Dragon

When Ryan came to the side of the ship, Menia and Reginald also walked out of the cabin almost at the same time.

Several people looked at the distance at the same time.

What caught Ryan's eyes was a continuous mountain range on the lower right side of the airship formation. There was a mountain pass that actually emitted a lot of thick smoke, and a lot of fiery red magma, which gushed out from time to time.

As time went by, the volcanic smoke became larger and larger, like a black wave rushing straight into the sky, and suddenly dyed half of the sky black.

"Volcanic eruption?" Reginald frowned slightly.

"No, it's not just a volcanic eruption." Menia shook his head, as if sensing something.

Ryan narrowed his eyes slightly, and he also felt that there seemed to be a huge shadow flashing near the crater.

"Ang!!!"

At this time, a huge dragon roar suddenly came from the crater!

This dragon roar seemed to be able to penetrate the distance limit, and it actually made the people on the joint airship formation in the air tens of kilometers away feel a tremor in their hearts.

Just when everyone was horrified!

"Boom!"

A huge fiery red figure jumped out of the crater!

Then, the opponent spread out huge red flesh wings that were as loud as the sky, bringing up the lava eruption and black smoke from the volcano hundreds of meters high behind him.

"Huh? Is this a fire dragon? But why is its body so strange?" Ryan was shocked.

It's not that he hasn't seen fire dragons before, and he has even fought against them.

But compared to the lava fire dragon 'Hemados' that fled at the sight of him, this fire dragon in front of him is several times larger and looks even more strange.

The surface of the opponent's body is not the kind of smooth and dense red dragon scales, but a mixture of some kind of keratin or red coating, which looks bumpy.

"This should be an ancient fire dragon. It has been sleeping in the volcanic magma for a long time, and it is very likely that some kind of mutation has occurred." Menia naturally saw the opponent's strange appearance and the body of 70 to 80 meters long, and her pretty face was serious. The

strange fire dragon that just jumped out of the crater glided in the air for a distance, as if it was familiar with the surrounding environment.

At this moment, its red vertical pupils noticed the mixed airship formation of the Federation and the Empire not far away.

The strange fire dragon flapped its wings again, let out a loud and provocative roar, and flew rapidly towards the airship formation.

Although the formation was composed of more than 20 airships of different sizes, it was extremely conspicuous.

It was difficult not to notice it.

But Ryan keenly noticed that the red vertical pupils of the strange fire dragon seemed to flash a strange look.

This look was very strange, like a deep desire for something.

"Huh? It seems to be coming straight to us."

"It's a bit strange. It's easy to tell that the mixed airship formation on our side is not easy to mess with."

"It stands to reason that dragon creatures are not low in intelligence, and they will not take the initiative to fight with enemies of similar strength." Ryan couldn't help but feel a little strange, and lowered his head to think.

After thinking about it, Ryan turned his head to look at the Red Queen Menia beside him. Facing this strange fire dragon that suddenly awakened, he felt that the Federation alone might not be able to resist it.

At this time, 'Earth Pulse' Reginald also said in a deep voice: "Your Highness Menia, the strength of this strange fire dragon is very extraordinary. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Federation to deal with it alone." "

No hurry, wait a minute, don't forget, this is the Federation territory." Menia shook his head and said.

Hearing Menia's words, Ryan immediately understood what he meant and nodded.

Menia's meaning was very clear. This is the Federation territory, and this fire dragon came at this time instead of earlier or later. The things contained in it are very interesting.

Of course, the most important thing is that this matter will allow the Empire to have more initiative in the subsequent negotiations with the Federation.

The relationship between countries is eternal and unchanging. Interests.

"Report! Your Highness Menia, the Federation sent a message, hoping that we will speed up and leave the battlefield. The Federation airship formation will deal with this fire dragon." A messenger ran to the side of the ship and said.

"Well, speed up." Menia nodded.

Hearing the message from the messenger, Ryan couldn't help but admire Menia's judgment.

As expected of a royal family, Menia has a natural sensitivity to politics.

Unlike the last planned joint battle, this time it was an emergency. As expected, the Federation will try to deal with it on its own.

Ryan was not in a hurry, and turned his eyes to the front to observe the development of the situation.

However, he suddenly thought of another thing and smiled bitterly.

"No, if the Federation cannot resist, if Senator Terena on the flagship is in danger, I still have to take action."

"After all, I just promised Ms. Terena to be her guardian knight. I can't go back on my word, right?"

"I thought I was just a figurehead as a guardian knight, but I didn't expect that I would have to take action so soon."

One minute ago.

On the giant Federation airship, the captain's room.

The sudden appearance of the strange fire dragon in front of him instantly wiped out the good mood of Deputy Speaker Bertrand.

"Bang!"

Bertrand slammed the table and shouted angrily: "What is the intelligence department doing!"

"Just when our airship formation passed by, a strange fire dragon revived. Is this a coincidence?"

"What will the imperial delegation think?"

"If this happens again and again, it will only show that our federation is incompetent!"

"It will put us at a disadvantage in the cooperation negotiations with the empire!"

The rapid-fire scolding made all the senior generals present silent. No one wanted to offend Bertrand at this time.

Especially the general officer of the intelligence department, whose face was flushed with shame.

You know, except for the strong men like Red Queen Menia, Earth Pulse Reginald and Ryan, most of the imperial delegation are ordinary people. Once the airship is destroyed by this strange fire dragon that suddenly appears, there is no possibility of survival.

The main thing is that if most of the imperial delegation is killed or injured in the Federation, the impact will be too bad.

"Mr. Vice Speaker, please calm down. I think it is better to investigate the responsibility later. We should immediately deploy for the battle." The only one who dared to persuade was the beautiful congresswoman Terena.

Hearing Terena's unique mature female voice, Bertrand's face was slightly relieved.

He took a deep breath, calmed down his irritability, and said in a deep voice:

"Lieutenant General Ruiz, you will be responsible for commanding the next battle."

"Make sure to ensure the safety of the imperial delegation's airship and eliminate the enemy cleanly and neatly!"

"Yes! Mr. Vice Speaker," the lieutenant general named Ruiz immediately saluted.

Although he didn't know what was going on with the strange fire dragon that suddenly appeared, he could only do his best.

"First and second airship formations, speed up and move forward horizontally to block the bombardment!"

"In addition, please ask Swordmaster Tirion and His Majesty Hernandez to take action immediately and provide support."

"."

Commands were quickly passed down from Vice Admiral Ryze.

Two rows of medium-sized airships, five in each row, a total of ten airships, slightly adjusted their directions and quickly blocked the front of the flank of the mixed formation, facing the attacking strange fire dragon.

With the order of the commanders of each boat, the fire snakes on the side stretched and retracted, and dense shells poured out like a rainstorm!

But to everyone's surprise, despite the huge size of the fire dragon, its flight trajectory was extremely agile.

It quickly adjusted its flight posture and easily avoided most of the shells, and the few shells that hit it failed to break the protective fire ring on its body.

Suddenly, the strange fire dragon accelerated suddenly, and it quickly crossed more than a hundred meters and came to the front of a medium-sized airship that was blocking it.

The huge and sharp dragon claws grabbed the airbag of the airship fiercely. Just once, with a "chi!" sound, several large holes were cut on the surface of the huge airbag.

The hot air inside gushed out immediately, and as a result, the airship began to tilt rapidly and fell towards the ground.

The attack of the strange fire dragon was not over yet. Then, it kicked hard, flapped its wings again, turned its head, and spewed out an extremely hot dragon breath towards another medium-sized airship on the side!

"Huh!!!"

The airbag of the airship was completely burned, and it fell rapidly at a speed faster than the previous airship.

In just seven or eight seconds, the opponent actually destroyed two fully armed medium-sized airships at once, and the fierce power can be seen!

At the same time.

Below the volcanic peak.

A group of people were running for their lives.

"Pah!"

One person spit out the volcanic ash in his mouth, and while running quickly, he turned his head and asked the bearded strong man who was in the lead.

"General Richmond, this ancient fire dragon named 'Anguskin' is more powerful than we thought! If we had run a little slower just now, we would have been completely buried by the magma."

"Yeah, this is enough for the Empire's shitty delegation to have a hard time." Another person also echoed.

"Yeah." Richmond looked up and glanced at the two airships that were burning and falling rapidly in the sky, with a smile on his face.

Although he remained reserved in front of his subordinates, he was extremely happy in his heart.

The stronger the ancient fire dragon named 'Anguskin' is, the easier it will be for their Zalal rebels to achieve their plan.

When the joint airship formation passed through this area, the dormant ancient fire dragon was awakened, and they had already arranged an insider in the airship formation. Once the ancient fire dragon successfully awakened, it would immediately open the box that sealed the Heart of Fire.

The Heart of Fire is a treasure that has special benefits for fire creatures, and fire dragons are no exception.

Although the ancient fire dragons might launch an attack directly without the need for the Heart of Flame after seeing the airship formation, they considered that the Empire had two dragon riders this time, and the induction between the dragons might make the strange fire dragon give up the attack.

Therefore, for the sake of insurance, they deliberately arranged the precious Heart of Flame.

In addition, they spent a lot of energy and cost to figure out the specific situation and sleeping place of this ancient fire dragon.

It is said that this is an extremely violent strange fire dragon in ancient times, named "Anguskin", which had a bad record in ancient times and disappeared later.

At this time, in the center of the battlefield in the sky.

Suddenly, a light blue water column with a diameter of more than ten meters, like a waterfall, shot at the strange fire dragon from a medium-sized airship. The one who shot it was the Federation strongman Hernandez who came at the end of the Battle of Gazrian.

"Chi! Chi!"

The strong collision between the water column and the high temperature of the strange fire dragon's body instantly caused steam to fill the surrounding area of ​​more than 100 meters.

The strange fire dragon, which was hit by the torrent of water and flew backwards dozens of meters in the air, roared!

It just flapped its wings to adjust its posture and was about to fight back.

Suddenly, a cross sword light dozens of meters long came like lightning under the cover of the diffuse steam!

It turned out that the light blue water column just now was a feint, and the real killer move was this cross sword light.

The one who made the move was naturally the Federation Sword Saint Tirion.

"Ang!!!"

The strange fire dragon roared in pain immediately!

I saw that the Sword Saint Tirion's "Super God Cross Slash" cut a cross-shaped cut in its lower abdomen, but the strange thing was that there was not a trace of blood flowing out of the wound.

"What!" Tirion was shocked.

He knew the power of his own killer move.

The tactics he had just discussed with Hernandez were simple, but very practical. It should be able to directly cause heavy damage to this strange fire dragon.

But unexpectedly, the opponent's defense was much stronger than they expected.

Hernandez was a middle-aged man with a beard and wearing a blue wizard robe. He also whispered, "Oh no, the opponent's defense is too strong."

"Besides, now that the opponent is alert this time, I'm afraid there will be no chance of sneak attacks like this again."

"We must contact the Empire immediately and seek the help of the dragon knights."

On the side of the Empire airship.

Ryan narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the cross cut on the skin of the strange fire dragon. Soon, he discovered the opponent's secret.

The strange appearance of this ancient fire dragon should be because the magma has been soaked for many years and has merged with its dragon scales. Now, it has become a special existence similar to "lava armor".

In addition, there is a protective fire ring on its body.

No wonder, even the sword master who is good at attacking power failed to complete the attack with one blow.

At this time, the enraged strange fire dragon circled in the air, staring at the medium-sized airship where Tirion was with its vertical pupils, not approaching, but flapping its wings from a distance.

Suddenly, a huge fire tornado with a height of more than 50 meters rushed towards the airship where Tirion was!

Faced with such a powerful attack, Tirion had no choice but to dodge and jumped onto another airship behind him.

"Boom!"

The medium-sized airship he was originally on was naturally destroyed by the strange fire dragon!

At this point, Tirion and Hernandez's joint tactics were completely declared a failure.

The strange fire dragon was enraged by a series of attacks from the Federation, and began to rush around in the face of the dense artillery fire from multiple airships.

It was seen that it sometimes swooped down and broke the airship in half, and sometimes quickly passed by and tore the metal chain of the airship pod with its sharp claws.

In just half a minute, the Federation airship formation lost six medium-sized airships.

On the giant airship of the Federation.

The scene in front of him made the face of the Vice Speaker Bertrand so gloomy that water could almost drip from his face.

"Mr. Vice Speaker, His Majesty Hernandez and His Majesty Tirion have sent urgent news. The combat power of this strange fire dragon in front of them is far beyond their expectations. The two of them are unable to resist it."

"Both His Majesties expressed the hope that the adults can immediately contact the Imperial Dragon Knights for support." A messenger quickly reported.
