Novel Full 425 Chapter 425
The next morning, Aldred and the others gathered in the dining hall.
“I found this letter yesterday,” Aldred said. “I don’t know where it come from. I tried to look for the person who slip it under the door, but I found nothing.”
“Do you think this information is correct?” Ivette asked.
“I don’t know. Krista, can you sense where Avre is?”
Krista was sitting on Mira’s lap while Pongo was sitting on her lap.
“Krista can tell where she is.”
“Really?” Aldred asked with excitement.
“Un.” Krista nodded.
“In that case, we should look for her. It would be terrible if she was really kidnapped,” Mary said.
Aldred stood up. “We should go now. There is no time to waste. Every second we delay, is another second that her life is at risk.”
They left the inn immediately and rode atop the dragons.
“Where is she, Krista?” Aldred asked.
“That way.” Krista pointed towards the south.
Aldred looked at that particular direction and then his eyes turned gold.
The dragons could sense his command in their minds, and they immediately flew to the sky.
Wena and Zara was fairly impressed by this. Dragons could read social cues like human did, but to order them all at once with telepathy was another different thing.
As they flew high in the sky, they passed by a group of migrating birds. These weren’t ordinary birds, but predators.
“Weird, these birds are lone hunters. They never migrate in group,” Bargoosk said. “And we should be prepared for battle as well. They will eat anything they can see.”
The dragons prepared for battle under Aldred’s command.
But to their surprise, the birds simply passed over them.
Bargoosk furrowed his eyebrows. “What happened? The birds. They were malnourished.”
“Is it that weird?” Aldred asked.
“It’s very weird. They are predators. They can hunt anything under the sky.” Bargoosk looked forward with unease. “I don’t feel good about this.”
“You will be fine. Sometimes animals behave in ways we never expect.”
“You underestimate my specialties, Aldred. I have learned more things about animal more than my wife’s pussy, so don’t insult my knowledge about animals.”
“Okay…”
They kept flying for 30 minutes. Aldred and the soldiers were ready for battle, but nothing happened.
“There did not seem to be anything,” Aldred commented.
“I can’t be wrong.”
Aldred nodded and kept his vigilance.
Six hours later, Aldred and the soldiers still looked around looking for any threat.
Bargoosk was kind of impressed by that.
And then weeks passed, yet Aldred’s eyes was still wide open. The soldiers too. They never let their guard down.
‘What a formidable group,’ Bargoosk said. ‘It has been weeks, yet they keep their eyes peeled. The soldiers barely sleep, and Aldred didn’t even hit the bed even once.’
No one could caught them off guard with that kind of mentality. But more than that, Bargoosk was moved that Aldred trusted his judgment.
“Aldred,” Bargoosk called. “I think I got it wrong. Maybe there’s no threat at all.” .
“You sure?”
“I think s—”
“Enemy below us!” Bartrem shouted.
Suddenly, dozens of arrows came from below. Most of them were deflected by the dragons’ powerful scales.
“Burn them!” Aldred commanded and the dragons opened their jaws.
Flame welled up inside their mouth before they discharged it at the enemies.
Like a gigantic, flying flame thrower, the dragons sprayed flame straight for 30 minutes as they burned the trees, bushes, and animals that unluckily did not get away.
Even rocks began to melt into lava.
Aldred detected a lot of enemies with his godly eyes. They were soldiers from the Ceraisian Empire. But he wondered who sent them. The said Lord Athar? And how did they found him here?
Aldred turned his blade into [Deep Sea Bow] and began firing. His shot were not one by one, but multiple at once. Water arrows went out like a combination of shotgun and machine gun, hitting the heart with precision.
His attack did not look as flashy as the dragon breath, but its deadliness was unquestionable.
“Aldred, there are enemies in the sky as well,” Bartrem said.
Aldred looked forward and saw a bunch of soldiers riding birds with bows and arrows. Behind them however, the soldiers use some sort of flying wooden ship with cannons.
And lastly, there were smaller magic contraption with wings and smaller cannon pointed towards the front.
“I did not know that the Ceraisian Empire has a sky fleet,” Aldred said.
“We aren’t only the best at producing soldiers. Our weapons, technologies, and experts are far more numerous than other nations,” Bartrem said. “We just didn’t use the cutting edge technology regularly, resulting in the loss of thousands of soldiers, but in return, they produced the best of the best.”
Aldred nodded. “That makes a lot of sense. But I don’t think they can defeat my dragons.”
Aldred’s eyes turned gold once again. They lit up and suddenly the birds fell, and the ships were badly damaged. A large numbers of them even caught in fire and crashed to the ground.
Smiling, Aldred was satisfied with the power of his eyes.
“Attack!”
The dragons rushed forward and caught the enemy soldiers off guard because they were distracted by the mysterious pressure that damaged their ships.
They were about to man the cannons, but it was too late. The dragons were faster than them, boring through their ship with their powerful dragon breath.
The enemy soldiers screamed as they were devoured by the fire. Aldred and the soldiers began to firing at the enemy with their bows.
Aldred’s bow in particular not just killed an enemy, but penetrated through them, struck the ship and exploded it from within.
“Aghhh!!!” A group of soldiers leaped from the ship and attacked Aldred.
Big mistake. His bow morphed into Phantom Doomblade and sliced the enemies before turning back into a bow again.
Magicians on the enemies ship worked together to create a magic circle, and then summoned an orb of fire.
It was like a miniature sun, radiating off heat in every direction. Suddenly, a golden sphere engulfed it, before opening a tiny hole.
A powerful fire energy ejected out of the hole and came towards Aldred.
With a swift movement, Aldred’s bow turned into Phantom Doomblade, and absorbed the fire energy.
The magicians were in disbelief when they see this.
“How can he do that?”
“That sword. It must be a Legendary Treasure!”
“If I can present it to the lord, he would surely give me a title and land!”
More soldiers directed their gaze towards Aldred, and the blade he wield.
They all eagerly threw themselves at him only to be cut, sliced, and stabbed.
Raising his Phantom Doomblade to the sky, Aldred’s hand ignited a powerful flame that extended for 300 meters. Now in his hand was not a sword, but a 300 meter fire. He swung it left and right, destroying every ships that came in touch with the flame.
He was like an Asura. A god of war that controlled the entire battle by his mere presence.
The soldiers that saw this from the distance was terrified, and had the thought to retreat.
But a whirling noise came from above. The noise were all too familiar for them. It was the noise of strength.
“It’s Sir Grigradd! He’s coming to our aid!”
Aldred looked up and saw a large fleet of flying magic contraception in the shape of a long Chinese dragon.
