470 Chapter 356: A Dragon Arrives at Solan City, The Bustling Scene [2/3]
They had already covered one-third of the long journey in just one day. And this was after they rested for seven to eight hours at night.
September 26th, noon, in flight.
Rebecca suddenly commanded the skeleton blood dragon to speed up and approach Richard. Anxiety tinged her voice.
“Lord Richard, there’s a special ore area up ahead… We’d better take a detour.”
Richard looked at the girl curiously.
“Ore area? What kind of ore?”
“It’s an ordinary gla.s.s mine, but it exposed Kuangqu to the ground.”
Richard looked into the distance. The sun shone brightly.
“Is there a problem?”
Rebecca’s face grew solemn.
“We encountered a group of desert dragons in this area when we came here…
“Almost one of the three squadrons died of level 15 troops I brought.”
‘A desert dragon?’
The familiar name reminded Richard of the first time he entered the single-player dungeon, burning village. He had encountered a level 15 desert dragon.
The other party’s majestic figure left a deep impression on him.
That glance made him determined to capture a dragon as a mount.
It fulfilled his dream when he obtained Alves and the skeletal blood dragon in the instance dungeon, and his obsession with the desert dragon slowly faded.
He didn’t expect to hear news of the other party again.
It quickly piqued his interest.
“How many desert dragons are there? How’s his strength?”
He had no interest in enslaving these life forms that needed logistical supplies. But he needed to expand the number of skeletal blood dragons.
The desert was too barren, and there were too few creatures with dragon bloodlines. Richard only had 12 teams of skeletal blood dragons as a result.
It would be a ma.s.sive profit even if he recruited one more of a Crown 1-star troop type.
Rebecca could see his surprise. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
‘Why are his thoughts differ from ordinary people’s?
‘That was a dragon!’
However, the girl looked down at the skeletal blood dragon she sat on and understood something.
Perhaps, it was because of these undead wyverns?
It was no secret that the undead used corpses to recruit troops. Even children of three to five years old knew about it.
“The number of desert dragons that attacked us exceeded two squadrons. They were between levels 15 and 17. And a level 17 dragon hero led them.
“We could only pa.s.sively defend when they attacked us because the other party occupied the sky. That’s why we suffered quite a lot of losses.
“One couldn’t fly in the desert of death. It was a ma.s.sive restriction for outsiders who entered the desert of death. It would pa.s.sively position them before the battle started once the air troops attacked them.
“It was impossible to carry heavy weapons on a long journey. And an ordinary longbow was just like a tickle to a dragon.”
It stirred Richard’s interest.
“Those desert dragons have built their nests in this Kuangqu?”
“No, the gla.s.s mines attracted the desert dragons. Their nest is not here…
Rebecca shook her head.
Those greedy beings are particularly fond of things that glow.
The G.o.d of creation once wanted to create the perfect life. So he put all the characteristics of the dragon.
But the most fundamental rules of the world do not allow the appearance of a perfect life. So after the G.o.ddess of creation went into hiding, it contaminated the dragons with greed, arrogance, lecherousness, and other negative characteristics…
‘Is this an ancient secret about dragons?’
Richard said, deep in thought.
Richard turned his head to look at the sparkling area when he returned to his senses.
“Those giant dragons… Are they still there?”
Rebecca nodded.
“Those greedy lives had just formed this mine vein. Their lives will mine it clean. They will occupy it for at least two to three months.
Richard nodded.
Richard waved his hand to signal the troop to detour after he marked the area in the system map.
There were priorities. To head to Solan City was his top priority, and he put aside everything else.
He could not know how much time he would waste if he were to head there now.
It would be a ma.s.sive loss for Twilight City if any mishaps were to happen and a few terrifying dragons appeared and caused Rebecca’s death.
How much benefit could the eldest daughter of the Grand Duke determined to take over the family, bring to Twilight City?
Rebecca felt an inexplicable sense of happiness when she sensed Richard listened to her.
The feeling of being trusted was comfortable.
The rest of the journey instantly relaxed after they pa.s.sed through the hazardous area. There were no more dangers like the desert dragon on the way.
They could not cause any waves even if some flying troops attacked them along the way and could quickly slay them.
The further out they went, the lower the level of the troops in the wild, and the less dangerous they were.
They flew in the desert for three days.
It was morning on the 28th of September. Richard’s map lit up with a new icon. Solan City.
Finally, they arrived.
“Lord Richard, Solan City is just up ahead! The Holy Church Empire is the most powerful city at the edge of the desert, and there are glorious lords there.”
Richard followed Rebecca’s lead.
A colossal city was at the end of the desert. It made people’s hearts tremble.
The city wall was over a hundred meters tall and as thick as a mountain.
Richard couldn’t imagine what kind of siege machine could collapse a city wall of this level.
Even if they were two to three thousand meters apart.
It still gave him the feeling of standing at the feet of a giant beast that could swallow the world.
