Territli.
This is a transition city in the Duke of Stirim of the Kingdom of Mithra.
It is the only city in the Duke of Stirrim that is on the border of the territory and borders the inland of the kingdom. Although it is a city within the Duke of Stirim, it is because the other half of the city is outside the territory. The relationship, to say that it is completely subordinate to the Duke of Sterling, is also somewhat subtle.
In the past, around the ownership of the city, the Strim family had several conflicts and disputes with the neighboring Marquis Laksadi family, and even small-scale wars broke out.
Later, because Sterling was the family of the duke, its privileges and status in the kingdom were much higher than those of the ordinary marquis family. The city was allocated to the family by the kingdom for the time being, but due to the embarrassment of its location. In the circumstances, the Marquis of Laksadi, which borders the Duke of Stirrim, seems to have been obsessed with it.
In fact, this problem can be solved by re-planning the scope of the territory.
For example, if the territories surrounding Territli are divided into one of the nobles, then nothing like this will happen.
However, due to the relationship between the Duke of Stirim and the Marquis of Laksadi's family who refused to surrender their own territory and distribute the territory to others, this issue has remained stalemate, and the kingdom is also quite a headache.
The royal family has even complained about this. I don’t know what people think before, so that they can divide territories and create disputes like this. But no matter what, the overall situation has been determined. It hasn't been resolved for a long time, and it can only be left to exist.
But precisely because of this, Territli’s defensive power is much stronger than that of ordinary cities. The Second Knights of the Duke of Stirrim are stationed here, the leader of which is attached to Stirrim. The Patriarch of the Knights of the Duke's House. The Patriarch of the Viscount's family has a level of seventy-nine. He is the best among the many knights of the Duke of Stirim.
However, today, this master brought the knights of the Knights together, staring at the sky blankly, the weapon in his hand fell on the ground and it is still unknown.
No, not only the members of these knights, but even the civilians in Territli looked at the sky with horror, screamed in panic, and fled around.
The whole Territli fell into chaos in an instant.
In the sky, a huge black shadow slowly descended from the sky.
"Roar!!!"
The terrifying roar turned into a real sound wave, while blowing up the sand and dust, while shaking the entire Territri like a shock wave.
The terrifying momentum and scary figure made the Knights tremble all over, and almost turned around and ran away.
"Dragon!"
"It's a dragon!"
"My goodness!"
"The dragon is coming!"
"A dragon attacked Territli!"
The people around didn't have any persistence, screaming and fleeing in panic.
The Duke of Sterling led the commander of the Second Knights-Triss, looking at this scene, his face pale.
"how is this possible... !?"
why
Why do dragons appear
Isn't the dragon the rarest monster? Hasn't it been there for hundreds of years
In particular, adult dragons have become rare in the human world. Why do they suddenly appear here, even invading the city
"No, now is not the time to think about this kind of thing...!"
Before that, a line of defense must be organized to prevent the dragon from coming to Territory.
Otherwise, Gerritelli may be transformed into a purgatory by the dragon's breath, ushering in a terrible disaster.
"Quick! Raise the barrier!"
Tris tried to cheer up and issued orders loudly.
Territli is a very special city. There are very high-level enchantments in the city. It was originally intended to deal with the army that the Marquis of Laksadi could send here at any time, but now it has to be used to deal with a dragon.
"Om!"
The city wall around Jeritli trembled suddenly, and a magical barrier suddenly rose up, enclosing the entire city.
With this enchantment, even the dragon's breath, which claims to be able to break through all defenses, should be able to block one or two, right
"Quick! Quickly transfer the archer and magician! Quick!"
Tris yelled anxiously, constantly dispatching troops and generals in order to fight the dragon who was attempting to kill after the barrier was breached.
"It doesn't matter, this dragon may have just grown up, so he rushed to the human city recklessly..."
If so, the level of this dragon should not be high.
The level of adult dragons can reach eighty.
If the level of this dragon is only eighty, then Tris feels that with the power of himself and the Second Knights, he should still be able to crusade the opponent.
Unfortunately, the reality is cruel.
"Roar!"
In the sky, the pitch-black dragon seemed to be annoyed by the sudden enchantment, suddenly roared, and the dragon's mouth opened wide, allowing amazing magic power to gather in it.
In the next second, a scorching breath was sprayed out, turned into a beam of fire falling from the sky, and landed on the barrier of Jeritli.
"boom!"
Without any suspense, the barrier only blocked it for less than a second before it was completely turned into fragments and exploded under the impact of the dragon's breath.
The dragon's breath also turned into a spectacular spark, bursting towards the surroundings, causing the temperature in the atmosphere to rise extremely rapidly.
"It's over..."
Seeing that the high-level barriers used to protect the city were shattered in one blow, all the fluke in Tris's heart finally disappeared, turning into despair.
This dragon is not a fledgling adult dragon, but a terrifying monster that has been grown up for at least a long time and has reached a level of more than ninety.
Such a monster wants to destroy a city single-handedly, easily.
Territli would become the purgatory under the dragon's breath, the ruins destroyed by the dragon, and Tris envisioned such a future.
at this time...
"I said I can't ride the dragon directly into the city, can I? Look at it! Isn't something wrong with this!?"
"...It's a fuss, but the dragon is about to land in the city. What's to be afraid of?"
"I said, shouldn't you be talking about a situation that only appears in the territory of the Demon Realm?"
"Yes, in my territory, every city will welcome the arrival of dragons very much, and there are also squares specially used for dragons to rest their feet. Every time a dragon flies by, the people in the city will cheer like a festival. Woolen cloth."
"That's what happens in your territory! This is the human world!"
"Hey... the human world is really troublesome..."
A conversation like this suddenly rang from the dragon's head, which stunned Tris, who was desperate.
Not to mention Tris, the members of the Knights and the people in the city were all taken aback.
until...
"Quick... Look! There is someone on that dragon!"
A sharp-eyed knight opened his eyes first, pointed at the dragon in the sky, and exclaimed.
This exclaimed, everyone felt unbelief for a while, and immediately their eyes widened.
Just because, on the head of the dragon, several figures did appear.
"My goodness"
"Really someone...?"
"Someone came here riding a dragon?"
"I... I'm dizzy..."
Everyone who saw that scene felt that everything they saw was so unrealistic.
It's the same with Tris. The whole person stayed there and didn't respond for a long time.
At this time, on the dragon's body, those figures jumped and jumped down.
Location, right in front of Tris.
"alert!"
Tris was agitated and shouted almost subconsciously.
The surrounding knights immediately reacted one by one, and quickly raised the weapons in their hands and spread them towards the surroundings.
Under such circumstances, the figures that jumped from the dragon's back fell on the ground and entered the encirclement of the Knights.
Only then did everyone see the full picture of those figures.
It is a combination of a man and two women.
The man is a young man in his early twenties, with a saber around his waist, but his attire looks very ordinary. At first glance, he looks like an ordinary adventurer, with no glamour.
The women are a little bit weird. One is a little girl holding a pillow, and the other is a girl in a maid costume. One is small and the other is big. The only thing in common is the beauty that is different from ordinary people.
Such a combination of a man and two women jumped off the dragon and appeared in front of everyone, which made people feel incredible.
But the reality is so, even if everyone present doesn't want to admit it, it's useless.
"Are you the steward here?"
The young man headed quickly found Tris out of the vast crowd, and cast his eyes on Tris.
Tris's heart tightened.
Although I don't know who the other party is, I may lock myself in so many people instantly and guess that I am the leader here. This ability alone is enough to prove that the other party is never as ordinary as it seems.
"I am the head of the Second Knights of the Duke of Stirim's house, and I am also the head of the Viscount Gigalie's house, named Tris Gigalie."
Tris stepped forward, stared at the young man, and said in a deep voice.
"Who are you? Why do you want to ride a dragon into Jeritri? Is that dragon your mount?"
Tris asked a lot in one breath.
But the young man did not answer him, but raised his eyebrows when he heard that he was the leader of the Second Knights of the Duke of Stirrim's house, and then he turned into a faint smile.
"First of all, I am sorry that I rode a dragon into Territli without careful consideration."
The youth apologized temporarily.
Then, the other party spoke like this.
"I'm Sean. As you can see, this dragon is my mount. Here is my maid and my... Uh, sister, please forgive me for the surprise."
The young man named Sheen just smiled like that.
"Sean?"
Tris frowned.
He always felt that this name seemed to have been heard somewhere recently.
But beside the young man named Sheen, the cute little girl holding the pillow suddenly frowned.
"younger sister?"
It seems a bit dissatisfied with the status of convenience.
Are these identities fabricated
There was vigilance in Tris's heart.
Instead, the young man named Sheen scratched his face.
"Well, let's put down the weapon first."
Sheeen smiled suddenly.
"Then, let's talk again."
