Chapter 489 Fierce Air Battle
"Alas~"
Upon hearing the news, Deputy Speaker Bertrand was no longer angry, but sighed helplessly and said:
"What a shame! Our Federation is in our own territory, but we need others to help us with security issues."
"Contact His Highness Menia immediately and request support from the Imperial Dragon Knights."
"Also, Lieutenant General Ruiz, immediately adjust the formation of the airships, and launch an attack synchronously after the Dragon Knights are in place."
"Yes, Your Excellency, Deputy Speaker."
As the orders were issued one after another in the captain's room.
This time, even the three Ajax super-giant golems hoisted under the cargo airship were covered with curtains at this moment.
Although the golems could not engage in air combat with the strange fire dragons, the energy cannons on the three golems were quite impressive.
They were not used before because they were afraid that the three expensive golems would be damaged after attracting the attention of the strange fire dragons, but now with the deterioration of the situation and the upcoming support of the Imperial Dragon Knights, they began to be quickly used.
On the Imperial airship.
Seeing the fierce battle in front of him, Ryan was thoughtful.
"Although the Federation is ahead of the Empire in the steam revolution, even the most advanced giant golems will find it difficult to resist this revived behemoth."
"As for this flying behemoth, it is even more difficult to deal with."
"The Empire needs the Federation's advanced technology, and the Federation needs the assistance of the Imperial Dragon Knights."
"No wonder the two sides turned from hostile relations to mutual visits so quickly."
Just as Ryan's thoughts were drifting, a messenger ran to the side of the ship and said:
"Report! Your Highness Menia, the Federation airship formation has an urgent message, and we hope that the Imperial Dragon Knights can provide support!"
"Well, reply to the Federation airship formation, His Majesty Reginald and I will be dispatched immediately."
"Yes, Your Highness Menia!"
Hmm?
Ryan was eager to try, but when he heard Menia's words, he was slightly stunned.
No way?
He is staying behind this time?
Sure enough, Menia turned around and smiled at him, saying,
"Ryan, Reginald and I will go down, you are responsible for staying on the airship."
"Uh, this."
"Okay, Your Highness Menia." Ryan could only smile bitterly and nodded in agreement.
He naturally understood Menia's thoughts.
The other party hoped that he would not be too sharp.
Perhaps, in the eyes of the other party, Ryan had been dazzling enough in the previous battle with the Sea God Cult and the three-headed sea dragon with a magic tail, and even on the Federation's key focus list.
And Menia's reminder to him in the carriage yesterday was even more evidence of this concern.
However, Ryan knew in his heart that he had been very restrained.
Otherwise, if the news that he had used the Dawn Killing Move nine times in a row in the Nether Sea domain was spread, I don't know how many people would be shocked.
"Ang! Ang!!"
With two loud dragon roars!
The 'Red Queen' Menia, dressed in a red wizard robe, stood on her giant dragon partner, the red dragon Tassa, and quickly flew towards the strange fire dragon.
On the right rear side, several dozen meters away, was Reginald riding on the khaki dragon Ted.
Ryan watched the two people go away quickly, and his mind was flowing:
"If Menia and Reginald can solve the dilemma of the federal airship formation, Terena's safety will be guaranteed in disguise. As the guardian knight of the other party, it is not considered dereliction of duty."
"As for absorbing dragon genes, after this strange fire dragon is killed, I will find an opportunity to rub it, and there will be no loss."
Immediately, Ryan, who had figured it out, stopped worrying about anything and began to pay attention to the battle situation.
The strange fire dragon that was just wreaking havoc on the federal airship formation suddenly stopped attacking the airship under its claws at this moment, and a pair of red vertical pupils looked at the two dragon knights who were attacking quickly with a little caution.
Generally speaking, although the gap between the top dragons such as fire dragons and real dragons in terms of strength is not too big, due to the natural disadvantages in blood, they will be inherently timid when facing dragons.
Of course, this is only generally speaking.
In Ryan's opinion, the ancient fire dragon in front of him had mutated. Whether in terms of size or appearance, he didn't think it would retreat easily.
Sure enough!
"Ang!!!"
Facing the simultaneous attack of the two dragon knights, this strange fire dragon was not afraid at all, and actually took the initiative to rush towards Menia and Reginald.
"Huh? Didn't retreat at all?"
"This strange fire dragon is much stronger than I imagined. It seems that the blood pressure of high-level dragons does not exist for it." Ryan couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Because normally, ordinary fire dragons will be more or less afraid of red dragons, but this huge and strange ancient fire dragon in front of him is obviously not one of them.
Because the strange fire dragon and the two imperial dragon knights were heading towards each other, they quickly fought after just a few seconds.
In an instant, one on the left and one on the right, two fiercely burning dragon breaths collided in mid-air.
"Boom!!!"
Two thick flames clashed fiercely in midair, but judging from the power, the fiery breath of the red dragon Thassa was no match at all. In just a few seconds, it was suppressed to a position ten meters in front of it.
"Huh?"
Although Menia had expected that the opponent would not be so easy to deal with, she did not expect that Thassa, a pure-blooded red dragon, could not suppress the opponent at all.
Of course, as a veteran epic-level warrior, she was surprised by this scene, but she responded very quickly.
Menia quickly recited the spell and raised her white finger. Then, a red spiral beam of light shot from her fingertips through the surging flames in the confrontation and shot directly at the strange fire dragon.
"Chi!"
It was Menia's Morning Light Killer Move with extremely strong penetrating power - 'Fiery Light Wave Cone'!
The khaki giant dragon Ted, under the control of 'Earth Pulse' Reginald, quickly launched a breath attack from the top of the strange fire dragon's back.
"Gravel Breath!"
A khaki breath mixed with a large amount of dense gravel rushed from top to bottom, straight to the back of the strange fire dragon.
Although they were in a disadvantageous situation at the beginning of the battle, the two veteran dragon knights immediately turned defense into offense and responded very skillfully.
This made the Federation Sword Saint Tirion, who was on a medium-sized airship not far away, sigh:
"Her Majesty Menia of the Empire has rich experience in facing enemies. It is difficult for ordinary epic-level strongmen to look at her back."
"Well, especially since she has a dragon partner, the Imperial Dragon Knight, her combat power is well-deserved." Hernandez, who joined the side, agreed deeply.
Since the two were seven or eight hundred meters away from the strange fire dragon at this time, and Hernandez considered that his water witchcraft would collide with the strange fire dragon's protective fire ring and form a large amount of steam, thus blocking the vision.
Therefore, at this time, neither of them made a move to cooperate, but waited for the opportunity.
However, just when everyone thought that this attack could reap good results, suddenly, the strange fire dragon instantly changed from horizontal flight to vertical flight, avoiding the "gravel breath" of the khaki dragon Ted.
At the same time, after using the front chest to take the blazing light wave cone of Menia, it suddenly accelerated towards the red dragon Thassa and hit it hard with its claws.
"Puff!"
The dragon scales shattered, blood splashed!
The unprepared Thassa had four blood marks more than one meter long on the middle of his right wing!
"Ang!!!"
The strange fire dragon actually fought on equal terms with two veteran dragon knights, Menia and Reginald, under such unfavorable conditions!
No! It had the upper hand.
Because the right flesh wing of the red dragon Thassa was severely injured, its flying speed and balance ability were affected, which would be a great disadvantage in the subsequent air battles.
"What!"
Sword Saint Tirion's eyes suddenly widened!
"This..."
"With this kind of combat power, this strange fire dragon should have been famous even in ancient times. I think we should contact the flagship and quickly find out its origins." Hernandez also looked shocked and said.
In fact, it is very risky to directly fight against such a giant beast with unknown combat power.
Just like just now, everyone thought that they should have a sure win.
But unexpectedly, something unexpected happened.
At this time, Ryan also frowned slightly.
Because he found the problem of the whole battle, the sword saint Tirion and the water dawn wizard Hernandez, did not have flying mounts and could not support the two dragon knights in time.
Of course, to be precise, it is not that the huge federation does not have flying mounts, but ordinary flying mounts are really worse than nothing when facing dragons.
Once frightened, flying mounts are a burden in battle.
In the case that the federation strongmen cannot provide timely support, once the red dragon Thassa's injury worsens, then the next battle will be broken one by one by the strange fire dragon.
This is the special feature of air combat, high mobility can bring one-to-many results.
Ryan was keenly aware of this.
Although it is not obvious now, in fact, the situation has begun to gradually collapse.
Once Thassa withdraws from the battle, next, Reginald and the dragon Ted under his crotch, Ryan judged that it is highly likely that they will not be the opponent of this strange fire dragon.
Then it was the turn of the two from the Federation.
"I have to provide support quickly while Thassa is still strong, otherwise I will probably be defeated by this strange fire dragon!"
Ryan, who had made up his mind, took a step forward and jumped off the side of the airship.
The next moment, a huge dark silver dragon suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Since it was the first transformation since he absorbed the dragon gene fragment of Gazrian last time, Ryan suddenly found that his body size was much larger than the last time he transformed.
The body length has increased from more than 30 meters to nearly 40 meters now, even larger than the red dragon Thassa.
At the same time.
The elite squad of the Zalal resistance army in the mountains below was watching the scene happening above their heads with joy.
The bearded general Richmond, who was in the lead, started drinking during the mission.
He pulled out the cork and gulped down several mouthfuls, drinking up the rum in a small steel marching canteen!
"General Richmond, drink this bottle of rum." A man in leather armor next to him smiled and handed over another bottle of rum.
"General, this ancient fire dragon is too powerful! It just destroyed six airships in a row, and now it has injured the red dragon of the Dragun Empire."
"Yes, the Imperial Dragon Knights are not even a match for it. I don't think this rumored 'Red Queen' is that powerful, haha!"
"Yeah." Richmond nodded and didn't say much, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
All the subordinates knew the character of their General Richmond. To put it simply, he liked to pretend to be profound and put on airs.
But in fact, any normal person could see the arc at the corner of his mouth that he couldn't suppress at this moment.
Richmond was naturally very satisfied with the results of this mission.
In fact, it was better than the best case scenario he expected.
In his imagination, the two Imperial Dragon Knights could escape even if they couldn't win. If they could cause some losses in airships and personnel to the Imperial delegation this time, it would be a great success.
Who would have thought that the ancient fire dragon 'Anguskin' in front of him was so fierce, it seemed that if he tried harder, he might be able to cut down the empire's 'Red Queen' Menia from the air!
At worst, the red dragon under the opponent's crotch would most likely die.
"Huh? What is that?" A subordinate who was observing with a copper telescope suddenly exclaimed.
"Why is there another dragon?"
"And it's very big!"
Another subordinate heard it and picked up the copper monocular telescope to observe curiously.
The next second, he also exclaimed:
"Huh? It's true, there is another dragon flying out of the imperial airship formation over there, but how is this possible? Didn't the intelligence say that there are only two dragon riders from the empire this time?"
At this time, several subordinates picked up the telescope and looked at it, and then, as if they saw something unbelievable, they shouted in a low voice.
"Huh? Another dragon?"
Richmond, who had just taken a big sip of wine, thought at first that he had heard it wrong, or that his subordinates were dazzled.
But now that several people said so, he couldn't help but be stunned immediately, and then he immediately picked up the telescope to check.
The next second, his face darkened.
Damn! There is actually a giant dragon that I have never seen before!
The Empire's delegation is really well hidden.
On the giant airship of the Federation.
"Quick, contact His Majesty Tirion and His Majesty Hernandez. Don't let His Majesty Menia of the Empire get hurt!" Seeing that the red dragon under Menia's crotch was injured, Deputy Speaker Bertrand shouted in a rather out-of-control manner.
I thought that with two dragon knights from the Empire joining the battle, the next thing would be easy.
But who would have thought that the red dragon under Menia's crotch would be injured at the first sight.
This weird fire dragon is much more difficult to deal with than imagined!
In addition, the most important thing is that Menia, as the head of the Empire delegation and the aunt of His Majesty the Emperor of the Dragun Empire, has a very special status. Once injured or even killed
, the impact is simply unimaginable!
Therefore, Deputy Speaker Bertrand lost his composure.
And this time, even Senator Terena did not speak to persuade.
As a member of parliament, she, like Deputy Speaker Bertrand, was very aware of the huge impact that the Red Queen Menia would have if something happened to the Federation.
To put it bluntly, even if a sword master died here in the Federation, the Red Queen Menia could not die here.
At once, several messengers rushed out, and the generals began to discuss countermeasures. The captain's room suddenly felt a bit messy.
"Look! What is that!"
"A giant dragon that has never been seen before is rushing to help from the Imperial airship formation!" A lookout shouted.
This shout immediately attracted everyone's attention!
"What, is there such a thing?!" Bertrand also immediately grabbed the copper telescope and looked at it.
Sure enough, in his field of vision, a dark silver dragon with a metallic luster on its surface was flying rapidly towards the center of the battlefield.
"Intelligence department, are you eating shit? You didn't even figure out that such a big dragon was hidden in the Imperial delegation!"
Bertrand was happy and speechless at the moment!
"This... I swear, Mr. Deputy Speaker, I can guarantee that before setting sail from the Westin City Administrative Hall, there was no such dragon in the Imperial airship formation." The middle-aged general of the intelligence department blushed and argued loudly.
"That. Mr. Vice Speaker, it was the young Mr. Ryan!"
"Just now I saw that young Mr. Ryan jumped off the airship, and the next second, he turned into a giant dragon." A gray-haired general thought about it and said hesitantly.
Because he was wondering if it was because of his old age and blurred vision, so he didn't mention this situation at the first time.
But when he checked again, he found that the young Mr. Ryan was indeed no longer on the side of the Empire's flagship airship, so he was sure to say this.
After all, in such a fierce battle, Ryan couldn't go back to the cabin.
"What! Is Ryan transformed into a dragon?"
Other senior generals, including Vice Speaker Bertrand, picked up their telescopes and looked at the dragon again.
"My lord! Confirm that Mr. Ryan is no longer on the side of the Empire's airship formation." A lookout reported loudly after a careful check.
Once this was said, the answer was self-evident!
The dark silver dragon in front of him must be Ryan.
As for the beautiful woman Trena, she was also looking through a copper telescope, her eyes were wide open, and her cherry mouth was wide open.
It was rare to see such an expression on the face of a powerful federal congressman.
And just as everyone was stunned!
Ryan had already flown to the vicinity of the strange fire dragon.
