As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

Chapter 82: Forging Ahead

That brat really managed to get his precious daughter into his own hands.

Thinking back to Charlotte's promise, which was so close to agreeing to her proposal, Robert was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

Before he even became king, he already treated himself as a prize!

However, Rob had to admit the boy's qualifications.

Leading the army forward to fight the black dragon, this courage alone is enough to inspire awe. Not to mention, his record of slaying the Red Blood Fire Dragon and repelling the Frost Dragon shows that he has the potential to slay the dragon, which is why he was entrusted with this important task.

The royal capital held on to this point, and even with two waves of reinforcements, its total strength was far inferior to that of the dragon clan.

The only possibility of winning is to defeat the head dragon like he did nineteen years ago, but he is seriously injured. As a high-ranking official, Charlotte must guard the royal capital and maintain morale.

The only hope to end this war is Roy Ironblad, and he represents more than just the fire in Charlotte's heart.

"Well, let me lend a helping hand, okay?"

"Father?"

"Even if I can't go to the front lines, as a king and a father, how can I stand by and watch the decisive battle?!"

Robert casually threw away his cloak, and the restless flames gushed out from his body uncontrollably. The bandages turned to ashes, and even the hideous wound on his chest that was filled with demonic energy trembled slightly and was temporarily suppressed by the flames.

A roar shook the sky, like the roar of the king of the jungle.

Rob landed a punch, and a lion transformed from scorching flames descended from the sky. The sea of ​​fire surged, and at that moment, even the dragons that obscured the sky and the sun seemed dwarfed.

A single person is an army of ten thousand. The presence of a high-level transcendent can easily determine the outcome of a battle.

No matter it was a fire dragon that could withstand high-temperature magma, or an ice dragon with ice protection, they were all burned to death by the flames from the Hell Lion King, and the airtight encirclement was torn into a fatal gap in an instant.

"Hmph, no matter what, I can't let that brat show off his power alone..." Muttering this, the Lionheart King collapsed after the blow and was escorted down by the knights.

This is enough to serve as the first command to boost the morale of the troops.

The griffin knights rose high into the sky, the crossbows began to roar, and offensive magic circles also lit up in the sky.

The commando team led by Roy did not miss this opportunity and launched an attack immediately.

Hundreds of griffin knights were like sharp swords, piercing through the dragon group along the flaming gap.

The dragon clan never expected that the besieged party would take the initiative to attack, and some high-level extraordinary people would take the initiative to attack. For a time, they were in chaos.

Flying dragons passed by several times, but Roy resisted the urge to attack.

The mithril sword cut down the flying dragon first, and the red flaming fists protected him closely on both sides. The most elite Gale Knights of the Lionheart Kingdom were now blocking all the invading dragons with swords, claws and even flesh and blood.

Even the long-range firepower on the city walls was concentrated in this direction, giving priority to helping them eliminate the surrounding enemies.

"Everyone, don't fight too long. Our goal is to escort the Oath Knights to slay the Black Dragon!"

"Do you understand what my princess means? My future brother-in-law must not make any mistakes!"

Carl and Naz raced side by side, one on each side, using the combat power of mid-level transcendents to annihilate all enemies that stood in their way. Whenever their forward momentum was hindered, a Griffin Knight would stay behind to cover their retreat.

Before the flames in the sky dissipated, most of the knights, who numbered less than a hundred, disappeared.

In the end, Carl was entangled by a pure-blooded ice dragon, and Natsu also faced off against a pure-blooded acid dragon.

With one last glance, Roy firmly engraved the figures of the iron-blooded knight, the lion-hearted prince, and countless griffin knights in his vision. Without looking back, he rode the griffin forward, leaving countless flying dragons behind.

On the battlefield where every second counts, there is no room for words of gratitude and respect. If you want to give back, just win.

But how could the dragons fail to see such a simple tactic?

The golden-winged griffin turned into a line of thunder and passed through countless dragon groups, but it could not escape the eyes of the frost dragon.

"You foolish mortal, you will never succeed!"

Frost and snow are coming.

No more promotion, no more temptation, Malygos attacked with all his strength. The cold wind from his wings turned the place into winter, and the embers in the sky were extinguished in an instant.

The ice-blue behemoth was like a strange blue moon, blocking Roy's way.

Even the Golden-Winged Griffin could not directly break through the blockade set by one of the Seven Heavenly Dragons.

"Brother, do you want to use that?!" The golden-winged griffin's hurried inquiry came in the wind and snow.

Bathed in the biting cold wind, Roy shook his head: "No need."

[Cheese]'s [Lightning Flash] can transform into an energy body and penetrate the wind and snow, but there is no need for that now.

It's not just because he needs to hide his cards, but also because he believes that the power of the kingdom will not let him down.

She wouldn't let him down.

The roaring ice dragon was about to strike with its claws, but before that, a pillar of fire lit up from the direction of the royal capital.

Honglian's arrow shot out at high speed, and the sound it made when it broke through the air was more like a cannonball being fired from a barrel than an arrow.

Along with the dazzling crimson tail flame, a terrifying blow condensed by the primordial fire exploded from the body of the ice dragon. The icy scales of the seven heavenly dragons, which were famous for their defensive power, were completely penetrated, and large amounts of dragon blood were splashed out. The roar of the Frost King also turned into a painful wail.

"Even though we're a thousand meters apart, you still dare to ignore my existence. You're really being looked down upon."

Flaming animal ears and a tail appeared on the girl's body, and her pretty face was outlined with traces of molten flame marks on both sides.

The form of the mythical creature, the characteristics of the Hellfire Lion King, and the powerful aura of a high-level transcendent made the Frost Dragon tremble.

Even the Lord of the Sky dares not underestimate the flames.

The golden-winged griffin seized the opportunity and slipped away.

The Frost Dragon had a ferocious expression, but it didn't dare to move away for a moment, because it knew very well that if it was distracted for even a moment, a stronger attack than before would come again.

If it were the Malygos of the past, he would have been cautious in dealing with this powerful enemy who was no less powerful than the Hell Lion King himself.

But the ice-blue vertical pupil was already completely stained with the same deep demonic aura as the black dragon. At this moment, its blood had already been boiling, and its mind was filled with only murderous intent.

"You are but a mortal king, how dare you be disrespectful to us, the rulers of the heavens? Pay the price for your foolishness!"

The breath of the ice dragon crossed the sky, like a huge, extremely cold sword hanging from the sky.

However, the crimson princess sneered and swung her claws forward.

"That's perfect. With Roy's help, the title of Dragon Slayer Princess is a bit of a misnomer."

"A knight serving as a Radiant Servant is unfit to be king. It is you who will etch my name with honour!"

The primordial flames danced wildly here, the rising lion king collided head-on with the breath from the ice dragon, and the crimson flames and icy cold instantly divided the battlefield.

Feeling the terrifying power fluctuations coming from behind him, Roy once again resisted the urge to look back and urged [Cheese] to continue forward.

Finally, he passed through the dragons, crossed the end of the sky, and came to the familiar volcano.

On top of the half-broken and crumbling fire, the lava flowing out looked like filthy blood.

Under the protection of countless dragons, a black-haired man in a dragon robe stood proudly on the top of the mountain, casting a cold glance with his dark golden eyes.

Chapter 83 Anger and Sadness

The rebellious black dragon, the fallen demon dragon, is also the eldest offspring of the Dragon King and the leader of the seven heavenly dragons.

[Black Dragon Nidhogg].

Just by exchanging glances, Roy felt as if invisible claws were about to tear his heart apart, as if the breath from the ancient underworld made him shudder for a moment.

Although both were Sequence 4, the auras of the Crimson-Blooded Fire Dragon and the Frost Dragon were incomparable. They were even more profound and terrifying than raging volcanoes, biting frost, and all-consuming acid rain.

The master of the sky, pure destruction, the true power of the Dragon King.

If it were in the past, I would have turned around and ran away long ago.

But after a moment of stiffness, Roy patted the uneasy golden-winged griffin and urged it forward.

Having come this far carrying so many hopes on our shoulders, now is not the time to stop.

The restless dragons rubbed their sharp claws, filled with murderous intent.

On the top of the mountain, Nidhogg growled, "You are no match for him."

"he's mine."

The bloodthirsty dragons showed rare rationality and retreated obediently.

For a moment, Roy seemed to see a dragon prince who cherished his compatriots and family.

But when the griffin flew to the top of the mountain and landed in front of Nidhogg, the illusion disappeared.

Within the dark golden vertical beam similar to Bahamut's, there flowed a chilling murderous intent and madness.

This look was very similar to the cultists controlled by the power of the evil god in Roy's memory, but Nidhogg had one more thing in mind.

Hatred.

A hatred so heavy that it's chilling.

"I see. Malygos's speculation is correct. I can sense that you indeed retain the power of your father."

Nidhogg narrowed his eyes and said, "Repent."

"What?" Roy was a little confused.

"Blood of the false king, I will make you repent."

"Favna, Balagas, Kroline, and countless compatriots died because of you, and the bloodlines of three relatives were tainted by you."

Nidhogg pointed down at the crater and said indifferently, "See that? That's Balagas, the place where my brother, whom you brutally murdered, finally died. Now, I will take your blood as a sacrifice for him, for Fafner, and for countless of my compatriots!"

Roy was silent for a moment, then sneered.

The fear just now disappeared, and only anger remained.

The fate of Nidhogg and even the dragon clan is indeed a tragedy, and it would be a lie to say that there is no sympathy at all.

But his anger was a thousand times greater than his sympathy.

For no other reason than that he is human.

Instead of looking at the crater, Roy pointed to the capital in the distance: "Do you see it?"

"That is Lionheart City, the home of countless citizens of the kingdom. Now you have dragged it into the flames of war, leaving countless people homeless and unjustly dying."

"Whatever you have with the humans of the First Age, what does it have to do with them now?!"

"What does it matter?" Nidhogg frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand. Then his eyes darkened slightly. "Of course it matters."

"To you, that was history from several epochs ago. To me, all the pain seems like yesterday!"

"Siegfried! I still remember that day when he vowed to protect Fafner's happiness and share peace with the dragon clan! But in the end, he killed Fafner with his own hands, stigmatized as an evil dragon!"

The dark clouds rolled in, and the dark lightning made Nidhogg's face look extremely ferocious.

"It is you humans who have betrayed us, and you must pay the price for it! The past generations are gone, and the consequences must be borne by future generations!"

Roy said calmly, not intimidated by Nidhogg's aura, "But you clearly know that Fafner was corrupted by the [World-Destroying Calamity], and that humanity's counterattack was merely self-defense."

Roy admitted that he was not a sentimental person, and was even a bit selfish.

Protecting the people around him and caring about the people in front of him is all he can do.

However, as he walked along, seeing so many lives withering away before his eyes, seeing those emaciated people devastated by war, seeing those knights who were covered in wounds but still charged forward with gritted teeth, he still felt something burning in his chest.

As a transcendent, as a knight of the kingdom, as their hope, I have the obligation to speak up for them and accuse the arrogant Tianlong.

"Even if Siegfried was wrong, he and Fafner have already fallen into the underworld and paid the price. Your hatred should not be directed at the humans who stood in your way! What did those innocent people, knights, nobles, and humans of this era do to deserve to endure the war you provoked?!"

Nidhogg was stunned for a moment, his face clearly showing thought and confusion.

But soon, his face began to distort, and the dark scales surged like a devouring flame, and the dark emotions in his eyes burned even more.

"Shut up."

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!"

"I don't care! You humans all deserve to die! Even if time passes, this hatred will not disappear! Regardless of right or wrong, you should be buried with Fafner and my compatriots!"

Not disappointed.

Roy just felt a sense of sadness.

That is the sadness that comes from the depths of the soul and belongs to the blood of the Dragon King.

The world is never as simple as right or wrong, and truly intense emotions cannot be suppressed by rationality.
