Chapter 271 The dragon is coming

Hedley Empire, the imperial capital.

Early in the morning, the yawning guards climbed up the city wall and began their inspection today.

"Please give me some energy! What do you think of being so lazy so early in the morning?!"

A blond woman wearing a red and white knight's armor came to the city wall. Her high golden horse was swaying in the wind. She was holding a spear that shone with cold light and scolded the lax soldiers.

This female knight was Louisa, who had fought against Ryan before. Because of the assassination of the little princess Futini some time ago, she was punished by the king and sent to work as a guard on the city wall.

Of course, the king's move was just for show. Looking at the armor of the Knights of the Guard that Louisa was still wearing, we knew that it would not be long before she would be transferred back to her original position.

Of course, even though she knew this matter well, Louisa still followed her current responsibilities meticulously.

After being scolded by Luisa, all the guards immediately trembled and started patrolling with their chests raised and their heads raised.

A biting cold wind blew by, and even Louisa shivered. Looking at the sun that had just risen, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Louisa felt extremely depressed when she thought of the assassination of the little princess Fotini.

On the one hand, this is the imperial capital, and even if assassins do sneak in, they probably won't dare to cause trouble in the crowd in broad daylight. On the other hand, Louisa is too confident in her own strength, which leads to some slackness.

Come to think of it, if that ranger hadn't taken action, I might have been demoted to more than just a guard.

Speaking of which, who is that ranger?

After reporting this matter to His Majesty, His Majesty immediately sent people to search for the ranger, but the matter was taken over by His Highness the Prince.

During this time, the eldest prince went to attack Wei Feng again, but was unable to take action.

Thinking of the ranger's sharp swordsmanship, Louisa suddenly felt excited.

If we find that ranger, we can transfer him to the Knights of the Guards, which would be great!

By the way, Her Royal Highness the Princess likes that ranger so much, and she still misses that ranger. Maybe she will ask her majesty to transfer that ranger to her side.

Then, wouldn't he be able to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess with the ranger? It just so happens that in your spare time, you can spend more time practicing skills!

While thinking in her heart, Luisa, who was looking at the sun, suddenly narrowed her eyes.

Why does it seem like something dark...is flying over?

Many guards on the city wall also noticed this scene and stopped to look at it.

From time to time, Louisa finally saw clearly what the black object flying over was. She felt cold all over and shouted loudly:

"The dragon is coming! Everyone is on alert!!"

"Giant... giant dragon?!"

As soon as these words came out, although most of the guards immediately raised their shields tremblingly, there were a few guards who stayed in place, their legs trembling, and they forgot what to do for a while.

These guards patrol the Imperial Capital every day. How could the Imperial Capital be suddenly attacked? This also caused the guards to be extremely passive and indifferent.

No matter how outstanding his performance is in the barracks, he is still a piece of soft bones on the battlefield.

Seeing this scene, Louisa gritted her teeth secretly, and when she got back, she proposed to His Majesty that he would take you guys to hunt the monsters with him!

Pointing at the soft-footed shrimp soldiers, Louisa scolded: "You guys, hurry up and report to the city!"

"Yes Yes!"

The soldiers finally came to their senses and ran into the city as if they were fleeing.

At this time, the giant dragon was getting closer and closer to the imperial capital.

Holding the spear in her hand tightly, Louisa turned around and shouted: "The archers divided themselves into two groups and prepared to shoot arrows!"

While speaking, Louisa also prayed secretly in her heart.

Creatures like giant dragons are very intelligent and can also talk to humans. As far as Louisa knows, they have never provoked giant dragons in recent times.

So, what if this giant dragon flies here not to cause trouble?

It would be great if we could communicate.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

When the dragon was about to fly to the city wall, Louisa saw the dragon open its mouth from a distance, and a huge energy brewed in the dragon's mouth.

Seeing this, Louisa's heart trembled and she shouted: "It's dragon's breath! Everyone immediately dispersed left and right!!"

"Roar--"

As soon as the words fell, huge magical flames spurted out from the dragon's mouth, and instantly submerged half of the city wall!

Some of the guards with quick reactions managed to dodge, while the remaining guards were submerged in the dragon's breath.

After narrowly escaping, cold sweat broke out on Louisa's forehead, and she suddenly heard bursts of wailing from behind. She turned her head and saw that part of the dragon's breath was spit into the city behind the city wall.

A large number of houses were set alight by the dragon's breath, and countless people infected with the dragon's breath ran to the streets, wailing and screaming.

The flame caused by the dragon's breath will burn fiercely no matter what it touches, and ordinary water cannot extinguish it at all.

Seeing the people rolling around on the ground after being infected by the dragon's breath, and finally losing their voices, Louisa gritted her teeth, stood up and shouted:

"Archer, shoot the arrow!!"

"Shhhhh-"

Two groups of archers began to release arrows continuously. After the first group retreated, the second group immediately released arrows. A continuous rain of arrows shot towards the giant dragon.

Then, the continuous rain of arrows was unable to cause any damage to the giant dragon. Facing the giant dragon's hard scales, the bow and arrow would only break and fall when shot, and it could not even tickle the giant dragon.

"Roar!!"

In the end, the giant dragon lay prone on the towering city wall of the imperial capital, and the shadow brought by its huge body enveloped everyone on the wall.

A few unlucky guards were directly beaten to pulp by the dragon's claws, and the remaining guards began to tremble.

At this time, a stream of light flashed across, like a shooting star. The guards turned their eyes and saw Louisa holding a spear and rushing towards the dragon alone!

As Louisa stepped on the dragon's paw, the dragon lowered its head in confusion, not sure what this tiny human wanted to do.

But then, Louisa dragged the spear and quickly flew on the dragon's arm. The tip of the spear drew a long spark on the dragon's scales.

Immediately afterwards, Louisa jumped up, and when she was as tall as the dragon, she raised the spear in her hand, with blazing anger in her eyes!

This scene made the dragon a little dumbfounded. What happened to this tiny human? Why did you come here in the blink of an eye?

But Louisa didn't give the dragon a chance to react at all, and pushed the spear in her hand towards the dragon's eyes!
