The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 474: Demonic Tail Three-Headed Sea Dragon
The Dragun Empire airship formation slowly landed at the official airship berth near Westin City Hall.

I saw a group of people led by an old man, waiting at the anchorage early.

And Ryan also saw an acquaintance - the federal congressman who had visited the empire before, the special envoy Trena.

The other party obviously dressed up specially today.

Treina was wearing a waisted, light white silk, wide-sleeved top with intricate lace edges on the neckline and cuffs. Both the material and the exquisite workmanship revealed a low-key luxury.

Although the lower body outfit is relatively simple, consisting of a pair of slim and elastic black hunting pants, it outlines her plump figure curves very well.

The whole outfit is elegant and yet capable.

But at this moment, even as a federal congressman, she was still a step behind the old man.

Obviously, this old man should be the main person in charge of this reception, and his status is even higher than that of Trena.

Ryan could feel that although this old man was also extraordinary, his strength level was not high, probably at the peak of a knight or a great knight.

This is what makes it different from the Empire.

Although the opponent's individual strength is not strong, he is the vice speaker of the entire federation. In other words, in the federation, personal strength is not the only factor that determines status.

Seeing Menia, dressed in a red wizard robe, walking down the gangway first, everyone in the Federation immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Your Excellency Menia, welcome to the Federation. This is our Vice President of the Federation, His Excellency Bertrand Ruiz." Terena introduced with a smile.

"Your Highness Menia, welcome to the Federation." The old man named Bertrand said with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Bertrand, you are too polite. It is my honor to visit the Federation." Menia nodded with a smile.

Next came the official diplomatic session, and Menia briefly introduced the entourage.

"This is the guardian of our Dragun Empire, His Majesty Reginald."

"Mr. Reginald, welcome to the Federation"

"This is the representative of our Empire's Sword Bearers, Lord Ryan."

"Mr. Ryan, you are so young."

"Sir Ryan, we meet again." At this time, the beautiful woman Terena stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Ms. Trena, long time no see. You are still as charming as ever." Ryan bowed slightly.

"Oh? You two know each other?"

A hint of surprise flashed across the eyes of the Red Queen Menia, and her gaze lingered on Ryan for a little longer.

"Yes, Your Highness Menia, when I visited the Empire, we happened to be attacked by the Corrupted Dragon Agnes. It was Your Excellency Ryan who ensured our safety that time."

"Is such that."

After some greetings, the federal welcoming staff surrounded the imperial delegation and walked towards the Westin City Hall.

Banquet Hall No. 1 in the City Hall was already decorated with flowers and the subsequent welcome ceremony had been arranged.

However, as he walked, Ryan felt a vague sense of being watched.

He noticed that there was a pair of eyes in the crowd that seemed to be looking at him frequently.

Perhaps, this kind of observation is relatively obscure to others, but for him, a fourth-level Dawn Wizard, this repeated peeping is very obvious.

So, Ryan turned his head slightly and saw the other person.

The other person was a young woman who was quite beautiful, but he was sure that he had never seen her before.

"Perhaps it's because I'm the youngest among the representatives from the Empire?"

However, the other party had been observing him frequently since the beginning, which made Ryan pay more attention to the other party.

What’s interesting is that Ryan is very familiar with the faint particles lingering around the other party.

It turns out to be a metallic particle.

'A metal wizard? Interesting.'

Ryan couldn't help but look thoughtful.

Just as the group was walking towards the banquet hall.

Suddenly, a man in federal military uniform walked quickly to the side of Federal Vice President Bertrand and whispered something quickly.

Including Ryan, whether it is the 'Red Queen' Menia or the 'Pulse of the Earth' Reginald, they are all Dawn Wizards with extremely sharp perceptions. Therefore, even if they are not listening deliberately, they can still easily hear what the other party is saying.

"Sir, we have found traces of a three-headed sea dragon at sea. It is heading rapidly towards the west coast city of Auberdine and is expected to arrive in half an hour. Please take a look."

"Hmm? Didn't they just attack ten days ago? According to your military's previous analysis, the three-headed sea dragon will not be able to launch an attack for at least a week."

Hearing the officer's words, Federal Vice President Bertrand frowned and asked back.

Judging from his expression, he was obviously conflicted.

Because according to diplomatic conventions, it is natural to let the guests first understand the customs and culture of the Federation, attend a welcome banquet to deepen their familiarity, and then discuss matters such as cooperation.

But who would have thought that the three-headed sea dragon with a devil's tail would appear at this time.

According to the attack habits of the three-headed sea dragon, after an attack, it will not launch a second attack within half a month.

But now, it is clearly violating the rules.

"Mr. Vice Speaker, now that the Demonic Three-Headed Sea Dragon has appeared, let's seize the opportunity first." At this time, Menia, who had already noticed Bertrand's conflicted expression, took the initiative to speak.

"If the Federation is ready."

"This..." Bertrand was slightly stunned, but he immediately realized something.

"Your Highness, that Menia, this is your first visit to the Federation. It is really rude."

"But you are right. Now that the enemy has appeared, we must seize the opportunity."

"How about we go to the city hall to hold a pre-war meeting now?" Federal Vice President Bertrand was not an indecisive person and made a decision immediately.

"I think that maybe we can hold the pre-war meeting on the airship. What do you think?" Menia said with a smile.

"You are very thoughtful, Your Highness Menia. If you don't mind, you can take our airship and hold the pre-war meeting on our airship." Bertrand bowed slightly and said.

"Well, that's troublesome." Menia nodded and said.

Everyone immediately turned around and quickly boarded the airship.

Important figures such as Ryan and Reginald accompanied the "Red Queen" Menia to the airship arranged by the Federation.

After walking across a long trestle bridge, Ryan saw the Federation's giant airship again. Behind the giant airship were six medium-sized airships lined up side by side.

I saw a lot of thick steel cables hanging under the six airships.

Ryan was on the airship docking platform, looking down along the numerous steel cables, and saw many people on the ground busy fixing the cables to three giant devices covered with cloth.

Judging from the shape revealed by the mask, this should be some kind of giant golem.

This made Ryan curious and he took a closer look.

Soon, the airship formations of the Federation and the Imperial delegation took off one after another and flew side by side towards Oberding, another city on the west coast of the Federation.

At this time, Ryan had already arrived at the conference room of the federal giant airship "Macon" with everyone else.

Since it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, there were no name tags in the meeting room, and Ryan just found a seat to sit down at random. But as soon as he sat down, a fragrant breeze blew beside him.

The girl who had been observing him frequently just now sat down next to him seemingly casually.

Seeing Ryan looking up at her, the girl smiled slightly and said:
"Hello, Lord Ryan. I'm Rebecca, from the Federal Mechanical Research Institute, and I'm also the person in charge of the Ajax Golem this time."

"Hello, Rebecca."

Although he could see that this Rebecca seemed to be approaching him actively, this was also within his expectations.

When he was in the Imperial capital of Tamriel, Hammadi had communicated with him, so naturally someone from the Federation would come to contact him.

However, what Ryan didn't expect was that the other party was not a serious intelligence officer like Hammadi, but seemed to be a talented girl who was proficient in golems.

But to be honest, Ryan is still very interested in the so-called Ajax Golem developed by the Federation.

Although we haven't seen its actual combat power yet, judging from its size, its combat power should not be low. I just don't know which one is better, the Destroyer Golem or the Destroyer Golem?
"I heard that Lord Ryan is also a metal wizard. I wonder if you are interested in golem making?" The girl said, looking at Ryan with her sparkling eyes.

"Oh? It seems that Miss Rebecca is very familiar with me. I am indeed very interested in the golem."

"Great, maybe we can exchange more relevant experiences."

While the two were talking, the meeting had officially begun.

"Your Excellency Menia, please allow me to first introduce the Federation's preparations and plans." A federal officer who was obviously a senior general was speaking quickly.

".This time, we have prepared three newly developed Ajax super giant golems to fight head-on with the three-headed sea dragon with the magic tail."

"Of course, this is actually a tactic. The purpose is to attract the attention of the Demon Tail Three-Headed Sea Dragon."

"At the same time, we hope that the Empire can cut off the enemy's retreat and trap the three-headed sea dragon on the coast of Auberdine to prevent it from escaping back to the sea again."

"Cut off the enemy's retreat? That's no problem. But in order to prevent the three-headed sea dragon from discovering our encirclement, we need to go around from a farther area, which will take about five minutes." Menia nodded and said.

"So, can the Ajax Golem you mentioned hold off the three-headed sea dragon head-on for five minutes?"

The Empire had naturally tried the method of encircling the three-headed sea dragon from the front and back a long time ago.

But the problem is that the Demon Tail Three-Headed Sea Dragon is very smart. Once it finds more than three epic fighters, it will quickly retreat and dive into the depths of the sea.

"This." The senior military officer hesitated for a moment and looked at Federal Vice President Bertrand.

However, before Bertrand could say anything, the girl next to Ryan suddenly stood up and said:

"Your Excellency Menia, the 'Ajax' super giant golem is the crystallization of the highest golem technology at our Federal Mechanical Research Institute at this stage. If controlled by a crystallized wizard, each one can exert epic combat power."

"Although it's only at the early stage of epic level, with three of them, I think it should be enough to directly resist the Demon Tail Three-Headed Sea Dragon for a quarter of an hour."

The one who spoke was Rebecca, the girl who took the initiative to sit next to him.

Ryan couldn't help but look at the other person in surprise.

Unexpectedly, this girl was quite courageous and dared to directly express her opinions to the Red Queen Menia.

Hearing the girl's words, the Red Queen Menia looked at her, nodded, and said:

"I think you misunderstood me. I don't doubt the combat capability of the Federation's latest golem, but I'm afraid it's not safe to use it against the three-headed sea dragon."

"I have a question. Why did the activity pattern of the Demon Tail Three-Headed Sea Dragon suddenly change?" Menia looked around at everyone present and said slowly.

Upon hearing this question, everyone present changed their expressions and began to whisper.

"Yeah! That doesn't make sense."

"Your Highness Menia has hit the nail on the head."

"Could it be..." Some people seemed to have thought of something.

The Red Queen Menia looked at the Federal Vice President Bertrand and Senator Trena and said, "I suspect that the opponent's strength has probably recovered to a certain extent."

"What you mean is..." Bertrand felt his heart sink when he heard Menia's words.

Everyone present had a serious expression on their face.

You know, although the combat power displayed by the previous Demon Tail Three-Headed Sea Dragon was terrifying, it was probably in the late epic stage.

But what if the other party's strength is restored partially?

Then it is very likely that the opponent will reach the peak of epic combat power!
The threat level has skyrocketed!

In addition, the most important thing is that the current tactical plans are designed based on the strength demonstrated by the previous Demon Tail Three-Headed Sea Dragon.

That is to say, if what the 'Red Queen' Menia said is true and the three-headed sea dragon's strength has really recovered to its epic peak, then even Rebecca, who has the most confidence in the golems, does not think that her three 'Ajax' super-giant golems can resist the opponent.

"Of course, the above is just my personal judgment."

"What I'm saying is, maybe, we should have been more prepared."

Hearing what Menia said, Federal Vice President Bertrand bowed his head and said something to Terena beside him, then turned to Menia and said:

"Your Highness Menea, we have contacted His Majesty Tirion Paul. Judging from the time, we should be able to reach the coast of Auberdine smoothly on time."

Menia had also heard of Tirion and knew that he was also an epic-level powerhouse in the Federation.

"Well, in that case, there won't be any problem on my end."

"Mr. Vice Speaker, we also need to return to our airship and make some preparations."

"Of course, Your Highness Menia, then we will proceed according to the plan!"

A few minutes later, the combined airship formations of the Federation and the Empire began to separate to the left and right.

The Federation's airship formation flew straight ahead toward the coast of the destination city of Auberdine, while the Empire's airships flew in an arc toward the sea.

Suddenly, the alarm on the Imperial airship rang!
"Everyone, pay attention! The three-headed sea dragon with a devil's tail has been spotted!" the lookout shouted.
