The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon.

Looking at Ekaterina's ugly appearance, Vivian felt disgust and anger in her heart.

She stood aside, her eyes as cold as ice, her fists clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned slightly white.

Although her inner unhappiness had reached its peak with the other party's humiliation of Ron, Vivian still remained calm, waiting for Ron's order to show the results of her hard training during this period.

But Ron had no intention of speaking. Instead, he looked behind Ekaterina with interest.

Suddenly, the noisy crowd became quiet as if the electricity had been cut off.

And Ekaterina seemed to have noticed something. The fingers that were gesturing suddenly froze in mid-air, and the shrill shouting stopped abruptly like a radio with the pause button pressed.

A sense of uneasiness rose in her heart, and she turned around slowly, stiffly.

in sight

The originally crowded crowd was spontaneously separating to both sides, slowly opening up a wide road.

At the end of the gradually clearing road, a giant figure stood among the crowd like a monument.

His appearance made almost all the orcs show admiration on their faces. They all lowered their heads and bowed to the tall figure in unison, their attitudes full of awe.

Ekaterina stared blankly at the tall figure and swallowed her arrogance.

The round orange-yellow pupils with a hint of dazzling light pierced through the crowd and briefly met Ekaterina's in the air.

"Hohog!?"

Ekaterina subconsciously called out the other person's name, with a hint of uneasiness and fear in her voice.

Unfortunately, the other party did not respond to her call as in the past.

Hogg seemed not to have heard anything at all. He just stood up slightly and used his height to look past Ekaterina and finally locked onto the familiar dragon shadow behind her.

Hogg's eyes lit up.

Without any hesitation, he immediately stretched out his strong legs and ran forward quickly.

"Bang! Bang! Bang"

The strong and heavy four-fingered feet stepped on the stone street, as heavy as the footsteps of an ancient beast, making a low echo.

The orcs around him even felt the slight tremors he brought, as if the earth was responding to his power.

In the world of orcs, size often represents strength.

There is no doubt that Hogg's tall stature and unparalleled strength have long won him the respect and admiration of all the orcs in Kukunul.

Seeing the dragon vein dog-headed man over seven meters tall approaching quickly with a steel mace stained with blood in his hand.

Ekaterina was suddenly panicked.

[Damn it, didn’t those idiots say they would hold it back? How come they suddenly appeared here! ]

Ekaterina looked terrified. She cursed her subordinates for their poor performance in her heart, and subconsciously stepped back in panic.

She couldn't imagine what Hogg would do if he knew her plan.

You know, kobolds are omnivorous animals that can eat vegetarian food, but the heavy mace in Hogg's hand is not vegetarian.

If the other party knew of his disloyalty
Ekaterina couldn't help but gasp.

What is certain is that if this dragon vein kobold, who is as cold as a mechanical construct, knew everything, he would never mind having the blood of the orc royal family on his hands again.

Thinking of this, Ekaterina was suddenly stunned, as if she realized something.

Wait! That's not right, what am I afraid of?
If Hogg wanted to know all this, it would be because his plan had already been exposed.

The only person who knew about this plan was Catherine herself.

The royal assassins she sent out had no idea of ​​her intentions; they were just carrying out their duties as ordered.

The characteristic of the death squad is that even if they die, they will never reveal any information.

In other words, even if Hogg had some guesses, there would be no actual evidence.

It seems that, at least on the surface, I am still an obedient chess piece, and he should not easily take action against me.

After figuring it all out, Ekaterina suddenly felt a little more confident.

At the same time, that "smart" little brain began to work frantically:
"This guy came at the perfect time. Since the Rose's envoy doesn't want to negotiate with me, I might as well take this opportunity to stir up a conflict between this dog and the Rose Kingdom."

"When they start fighting, I can just sit back and reap the benefits!"

"Yes, let's do it. I'm so smart!" The more Ekaterina thought about it, the brighter her eyes became.

While she was secretly proud of her own wisdom, her face gradually regained its calm and elegance.

Under the gaze of everyone, Ekaterina took a step towards Hogg calmly.

She took a step forward, her expression returned to calmness from panic, and there was even a hint of an elegant smile on the corners of her mouth.

In just a moment, Catherine's facial expression seamlessly transformed from a shrew to an elegant aristocrat.

The nonchalant attitude even made Vivian, who was standing by, dumbfounded. She even started to doubt whether she was dazzled and whether the verbal abuse had never happened.

Just as Vivian was amazed at the speed at which Ekaterina's expression changed.

the other side

Ron, who was sitting cross-legged in the air, saw it all clearly, and Ekaterina's transformation almost made him laugh out loud.

Her plan might work for ordinary people, but it was invisible to Ron.

Using his divine power, Ron clearly heard what Ekaterina was thinking.

What Ron found most amusing was that the other party actually wanted Hogg to deal with his own master.

This kind of plot, which is common in novels, is now being played out, which seems both ridiculous and interesting.

"It's amazing that she could think of this."

Ron crossed his arms and waited for the situation to develop at a leisurely pace.

Curiosity drove him to see what other bizarre things Ekaterina could do.

At this moment, he was observing from the air like an audience member sitting in the front row of a theater, ready to enjoy the drama that was about to be performed.

the other side

Ekaterina cleared her throat and tried to act like a victim.

"Ahem, Hogg!"

She leaned sideways, pointed at Vivian and Ron, and said to Hogg who was running towards her in a coquettish voice with a hint of resentment:
"This rude human and her magical pet actually dared to humiliate me in public. You..."

Before she could finish speaking.

"boom!"

Accompanied by a dull thud.

Ekaterina, who was wearing a luxurious robe, was instantly knocked into the air by the tall Hogg.

Ekaterina stared with wide eyes as she watched Hogg running quickly, then sliding down to his knees in front of the "fake dragon".

In Ekaterina's eyes, Hogg had always been ruthless and showed fighting fanaticism even when carrying out orders, but she had never seen it kneel so devoutly in front of others.

On the cold-blooded and ruthless dog's head in the past, there was now only endless piety and fanaticism.

At this moment, Ekaterina's original doubts about Hogg's past behavior were resolved in an instant.

"It turns out that dog has an owner."

Ekaterina murmured in her heart.

As her consciousness gradually blurred, she finally realized that she had misjudged the situation from the very beginning.

The cruel reality made her lose all hope.

Following a scarlet trail, the body with its internal organs shattered by the impact flipped in the air like an abandoned rag doll, and finally fell towards the crowd below.

Seeing this scene, the orcs watching cried out in surprise, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

But then
The crowd may have realized what was going to happen next, and they dispersed to avoid becoming targets of falling objects.

Watching the clear sky

Ekaterina sighed, slowly closed her eyes, and let her body fall.

The noble robe still floats in the air

And her end seems to have been determined. (End of this chapter)
