Chapter 323

Tereteli.

It was a border city within the Mithra Kingdom's Sterling Dukedom.

It was the only city in the Sterling Dukedom that was located at the border of the Kingdom. Although it was a city within the Sterling Dukedom, due to the other half of the city being outside the Sterling Dukedom's territory, it was a little strange to say that it was completely under the Sterling Dukedom's jurisdiction.

In the past, the Sterling Family had several conflicts and disputes with the neighboring Marquis Raksadi Family over the ownership of this city. There were even small scale wars that broke out.

Later on, because the Stringham family was a Duke, their status and privileges were much higher than that of a normal Marquis, the Kingdom temporarily gave the city to the Stringham family. However, due to the awkward position of the city, the Lassadi Marquisate, which bordered the Duke of Stringham's territory, seemed to have always been thinking about it.

This problem could be solved by redefining the boundaries of the territory.

For example, if the surrounding territory of Tereteli was given to one of the nobles, then such a situation wouldn't happen.

However, due to the fact that neither the Sterling Family nor the Raksadi Family was willing to give up their territory, this problem had been in a deadlock for a long time, giving the kingdom quite a headache.

The royal family had even grumbled about this. They didn't know what the people in the past were thinking to divide the territory in such a way and create such a dispute. However, no matter what, the overall situation had been decided. The ownership of Tereteli was still not resolved and they could only let it continue to exist.

However, it was also because of this that Tereteli's defense was much stronger than other cities. Stationed here was the second regiment of knights of Duke Stringham's family, led by the head of a viscount knight family that was attached to Duke Stringham's family. The head of the family was level 79, and he was one of the best among the many knights of Duke Stringham's family. He was an expert that was only a step away from reaching level 80.

However, today, this expert led the knights of the regiment and stared blankly at the sky. The weapons in their hands fell to the ground.

No, it wasn't just the knights. Even the civilians of Tereteli were looking at the sky in horror. They screamed in panic and fled in all directions.

The entire Tereteli fell into chaos in an instant.

In the sky, a huge black shadow slowly descended from the sky.

"Roar —!!!"

The horrifying roar turned into a substantial sound wave, sweeping up sand and dust while shaking the entire Tereteli like a shockwave.

That terrifying aura and frightening figure caused the knights to tremble all over, and they almost turned around and ran.

"Dragon!"

"It's a dragon!"

"Oh my god!"

"The dragon is here!"

"A dragon is attacking Tereteli!"

The surrounding citizens did not persist at all. They screamed and fled in terror.

Duke Stringham's Second Knight Regiment's commander, Terry, looked at the scene with a steely expression.

Why?

Why?

Why did a dragon appear?

Why did a dragon appear? Hasn't it been several hundred years since it last appeared?

In particular, adult dragons were extremely rare in the human world. Why would they suddenly appear here and even attack the city?

"No, now is not the time to think about this …!"

Before that, they had to organize a line of defense to prevent the dragon from descending on Tereteli.

Otherwise, Tereteli might be turned into a purgatory by the dragon breath and face a terrifying disaster.

"Quick! Raise the barrier! "

Terry tried his best to pull himself together and shouted out an order.

Tereteli was a very special city. The city had a very high-level barrier, which was originally meant to deal with the army that Marquis Raksadi could send here at any time, but now, it was used to deal with a dragon.

"Buzz!"

The city walls around Tereteli suddenly trembled, and a layer of magic barrier rose up, surrounding the entire city within it.

With this barrier, even the Dragon Breath, which was said to be able to break through all defenses, should be able to block it?

"Quick! Hurry up and get the archers and magicians over here! Hurry up! "

Kris anxiously shouted, and unceasingly mobilized troops, hoping that after the barrier was broken, they would be able to fight against Long Yi who intended to start a massacre.

"It's alright. That dragon might have just reached adulthood, that's why it recklessly ran into a human city …"

If that was the case, then the level of this dragon shouldn't be high.

An adult dragon could usually reach level 80.

If this dragon was only level 80, then Kris felt that with the strength of himself and the 2nd Knight Regiment, they should be able to defeat it.

Unfortunately, the reality was cruel.

"Roar — —!"

In the sky, the pitch-black dragon seemed to be angered by the sudden appearance of the barrier. It suddenly roared and opened its mouth, allowing an astonishing amount of magic to gather within.

In the next second, a scorching breath was spat out, turning into a beam of fire that fell from the sky and landed on Tereteli's barrier.

"Bang!"

Without any suspense, the barrier only lasted for less than a second before it was completely shattered into pieces under the impact of the dragon breath.

The dragon breath of the dragon also turned into a spectacular burst of sparks, bursting out in all directions, causing the temperature in the atmosphere to rise rapidly.

"It's over …"

Seeing that the high-level barrier that was used to protect the city was shattered in a single blow, Kris's hope finally disappeared completely and turned into despair.

This dragon wasn't a fledgling adult dragon at all. It was a terrifying monster that had reached adulthood for a long time and was at least level 90.

It would be a piece of cake for such a monster to single-handedly destroy an entire city.

Tereteli would then become a purgatory under the dragon breath and become a ruin destroyed by the dragon. Kris had foreseen such a future.

At this moment …

"Didn't I say that we can't just ride the dragon into the city? Look! Isn't that what happened!? "

"… What a fuss. It's just a dragon landing in the city, what's there to be afraid of?"

"I say, don't tell me you're talking about a situation that only happens in your territory in the Demon Realm?"

"That's right. In my territory, every city welcomes the arrival of dragons. There is even a special plaza for dragons to rest in. Every time a dragon flies over, the citizens in the city will cheer as if it's a festival."

"That's something that only happens in your territory! This is the human realm! "

"Tch … the human realm is so troublesome …"

Similar conversations suddenly sounded above the dragon's head, causing the desperate Kris to be stunned.

Not to mention Kris, even the knights and the citizens in the city were stunned.

Until …

"Quick … Look! There's someone on that dragon! "

A sharp-eyed knight was the first to widen his eyes and pointed at the dragon in the sky and exclaimed.

With this exclamation, everyone first felt a wave of disbelief. Then, they widened their eyes one by one.

This was because there were indeed a few figures on the dragon's head.

"Oh my god …"

"There's really someone …?"

"Someone is riding a dragon over?"

"I … I'm going to faint …"

Everyone who witnessed this scene felt that everything they saw was so unrealistic.

Kris was the same. He stood there in a daze and didn't react for a long time.

At this moment, the few figures on the dragon's head leaped down.

Their position was right in front of Kris.

"Alert!"

Kris quivered and almost subconsciously shouted.

The surrounding knights immediately reacted. They hurriedly raised the weapons in their hands and spread out in all directions.

Under such circumstances, the few figures that leaped down from the dragon's back landed on the ground and entered the encirclement of the knights.

Only then did the crowd see the full appearance of the few figures clearly.

It was a group of a man and two women.

The man was a young man in his early twenties. He had a sword at his waist and his attire was very ordinary. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary adventurer without any outstanding features.

The women were a little strange. One was a little girl hugging a pillow while the other was a young lady in a maid's attire. One young and one old. The only thing they had in common was their extraordinary beauty.

Such a group of a man and two women leaped down from the dragon's body and appeared in front of everyone. It was unbelievable.

However, this was the reality. No matter how unwilling the people present were to admit it, it was useless.

"Are you the person in charge here?"

The leading young man quickly found Kris in the vast sea of people and fixed his gaze on him.

Kris's heart skipped a beat.

Although he didn't know who he was, the fact that he was able to instantly lock onto him among so many people and guess that he was the leader of this place was enough to prove that he wasn't as ordinary as he looked.

"I am the leader of the second knight regiment of Duke Stringham's family and also the head of Viscount Kigareth's family. My name is Tris Kigareth."

Kris stepped forward, stared at the young man and spoke in a deep voice.

"Who are you? Why did you ride a dragon into Tereteli? Is that dragon your mount? "

Kris asked many questions in one breath.

However, the young man didn't answer him. When he heard that he was the leader of the second knight regiment of Duke Stringham's family, he raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly.

"First of all, I'm very sorry for riding a dragon into Tereteli without careful consideration."

The young man apologized for the time being.

Then, the young man spoke.

"I am Shien. As you can see, this dragon is my mount. This is my maid and my … erm, sister. Please forgive me for any disturbances."

The young man named Shien said.

"Shien?"

Kris frowned.

He had a feeling that he had heard this name somewhere before.

On the other hand, the cute little girl who was hugging a pillow beside the young man named Shien suddenly frowned.

"Sister?"

The young man seemed to be dissatisfied with this identity.

Could it be that these identities were all made up?

Kris was alarmed.

On the other hand, the young man named Shien scratched his face.

"Well, put down your weapons first."

Shien suddenly smiled.

"Then, we will have a chat."
