The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 556: Flame Storm
The two His Majesties mentioned by the Alert Airship are the Dawn Wizard brothers Otto Zok and Og Zok, collectively known as the 'Twin Flame Spirits'.

Both of them are proficient in fire magic. In addition, only one year apart, they almost reached the level of Dawn Wizard at the same time.

This time, because the Swordmaster Tirion suggested in his report on the ruins that it would be best to have a fire-type dawn wizard who could cause greater damage to the evil spirits, the two were transferred to the Rethero Canyon by the Federal Parliament.

Following the message from the airship.

Suddenly, two fire eagles over five meters long flew out from below the city.

The Fire Eagle's entire body was red, and when its wings flapped, it looked as if they were burning with a raging fire, with an astonishing power.

This is the fire eagle mount of Otto Zok and Og Zok. Although it cannot be compared with the five-colored dragon of the Dragun Empire, it is also a powerful and ferocious species with the combat power of a crystallized wizard.

At this time, several armed airships were already spanning the distance between Zetaya City and Reserro Canyon, which was also the route that Dorick was flying directly.

Seeing the ferocious and huge body of the Steel Dragon, which had no intention of circling around it, the heavy artillery on the sides of these armed airships opened fire under unified command.

"Bang bang bang!"

For a moment, flames spewed out from the sides of several armed airships.

The next second, small mushroom clouds burst out from Dolik's huge body. With the intensive accumulation of firepower, the huge body of the steel dragon was immediately covered by a large amount of smoke and dust.

"hold head high!!!"

Dorick shook his body slightly and roared.

But the strange thing is that the roar didn't sound fierce or shrill, but instead had a hint of laziness.

"Yes, the small particles that hit my body just now feel quite comfortable." Dolic thought.

Dorick, who treated the bombardment as a massage, was in a good mood, so he did not intend to attack the armed airships that had offended him and blocked his flight path.

But the Federal Airship doesn't think so.

They saw the ferocious beast flying towards them unscathed, and were immediately terrified. The captains shouted wildly:
"Left full rudder!"

"Quickly open!"

Seeing this scene, the twin flame spirits Zok brothers who were approaching quickly from below looked at each other with shock on their faces:

"Hiss~ What a defensive beast!"

You should know that the armed airship is equipped with the Federation’s latest super-heavy bronze artillery.

In the previous few giant beast defense battles, although the giant beast could not be seriously damaged, it would at least cause some minor injuries to the opponent.

But this time, the opponent's skin, which exuded a faint metallic halo, did not seem to have even a single scar, as if the previous attack was just a tickle for the opponent.

"Otto, use your trump card!"

Oger, the red-haired Mediterranean-style brother, immediately made a judgment that ordinary attacks would have no effect on the giant beast in front of him.

"it is good!"

"First level witchcraft ignition!"

"."

"Dawn's ultimate move: Flame Storm!"

I saw two people, one on the left and one on the right, with almost identical movements, and they each used the fire-type dawn killing move.

Suddenly, two huge tornadoes composed of two balls of fire appeared out of thin air in front of the two people and rushed forward rapidly.

After dozens of meters, the two fire tornadoes merged together, forming a huge fire tornado that was hundreds of meters high, almost connecting the sky and the ground!
"Great!"

"As expected of His Majesty the Twin Flame Spirits."

Seeing the flaming tornado that penetrated the sky and earth heading towards the giant beast, all the federal soldiers on the armed airships cheered.

"boom!!!"

The fire tornado immediately covered Dolik's huge body. For a moment, everyone thought that he would be burned to death!

wrong!

Oger's heart was filled with alarm, and he immediately turned his head and shouted:

"Otto, get out of the way!"

In an instant!
A huge and ferocious figure broke through the giant fire tornado, like a fire dragon leaping out of magma, or like a fire phoenix reborn from the fire!
The raging flames and air waves splashed all around, causing the Fire Eagles under the two men's crotch to stagger. In their panic, they were unable to dodge immediately.

However, to their surprise, the ferocious beast that looked like a dragon in front of them did not sweep its blade-like wings over them. Instead, it slightly raised its wings, as if it was deliberately avoiding them.

"Hey!"

The blade swept across the two men's heads, shaving off much of the brothers' remaining hair.

The two brothers, still in shock, naturally didn't care about this, but just stood there in a daze.

"Otto, how is it?" Og quickly controlled the Fire Eagle to come to Otto's side and said.

"I'm fine"

Looking at the giant beast going away, Otto was about to continue speaking when suddenly, the communication mark on his chest began to flash.

"It's Hiram! Just in time, I was going to contact him and have him prepare for battle immediately."

"The direction this giant beast is flying seems to be heading straight for the Reserlo Canyon. Could it be heading towards the ruins of the floating city?!"

Oger stretched out his hand and lit up the communication mark, but the next second, he frowned slightly.

"what happened?"

"The Federation team has arrived, but they only have one person on the other side, the young man that Tirion and Hiram highly respect - Ryan."

"Alone? That's too..." Brother Otto didn't know what to say for a moment.

"That's perfect. Let's leave this tricky beast to Ryan! If he can defeat this beast, we will recognize his strength and naturally recognize that he can represent the Dragun Empire alone."

"Otherwise, the Dragun Empire is still too ignorant of the importance of this cooperation. I will apply to the parliament to withdraw from this operation."

"Yes, that's indeed the case. The floating city ruins are very dangerous, and the exploration team must be strong enough. Relying solely on the few of us we have now is not enough." Otto nodded and agreed.

at the same time.

Reserau Canyon.

Because the black dragon Metes was too large, it could only stay outside the cave camp temporarily, while Ryan followed Hiram into the camp first.

"Your Majesty, Lord Ryan, Tirion will be back soon, and the Zock brothers should be here soon as well." As Hiram was speaking, he saw Tirion and his companions walking quickly towards him from a distance.

"Haha, Your Majesty Ryan, it's such a happy thing to see you again." The Federal Sword Saint Tirion said enthusiastically.

"Your Majesty Tirion, long time no see." Ryan bowed slightly and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I'm so sorry. I was just checking the situation at the floating city ruins and was unable to greet you right away. By the way, where are the other people in the empire?"

As he spoke, the Swordmaster Tirion looked around and found that Ryan was the only one in the empire. He looked around in confusion and said.

"Your Majesty Tirion, I am the only one from the Empire who has come this time. But to be more precise, my dragon companion is also outside the cave."

"Eh? Your Majesty Ryan, have you contracted a dragon? Come on, show me."

Tirion didn't think much about Ren coming alone. After all, he knew Ren's strength very well. He was at least three times stronger than him. In addition, Ren had already contracted a dragon, and his strength had increased further. He was equivalent to four or five epic warriors, so it was no problem for him to represent the Dragun Empire.

But the problem is that Tirion is familiar with Ryan, but the three people beside him are not familiar with Ryan.

Their focus was naturally different from Tirion's. When they heard Ryan say that the Dragun Empire had only sent him to cooperate in exploring the ruins of the floating city, their faces immediately changed and they all whispered to each other:

"This His Majesty Ryan looks very young. The Empire only sent him here alone? They really don't take this cooperation seriously." The old wizard holding a fiery red crystal cane said in a deep voice.

"Yes, even if His Majesty Rain is as powerful as Tirion said, he is only one person after all. It's really... too much of a joke!" Another old wizard with a braided beard shook his head and said.

"Let's go and see what kind of dragon the other party has contracted." The old man in a red wizard robe inlaid with gold advised.

".Okay, let's go take a look first."

Soon, the group of six arrived outside the cave camp, where they saw a giant dragon as big as a black hill, coiled up and resting.

"This black dragon is too big! Your Majesty, could it be a black dragon at the level of an old dragon?"

When they saw Metes for the first time, both the Swordmaster Tirion and the other three had their eyes widened and their mouths slightly opened, with an expression of inexplicable surprise.

After all, most of the imperial guardians have rarely seen giant dragons at the level of very old dragons, let alone the strong men of the federation.

"Your Majesty Tirion, this is my dragon companion, Metheus the Mad Wing. He is a black dragon of the very old dragon level. According to the wizard's combat power conversion, he is probably in the late Dawn to the peak of the Dawn."

After thinking about it, Ryan did not hide it, but introduced it seriously.

After all, they are a team and will explore the ruins of the floating city together later. Establishing a dominant position first will be beneficial to Ryan's next move.

In addition, Metes' mountain-like size shows his strength.

"Extremely old dragon? At the peak of dawn?"

Hearing this, everyone present looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The three old Dawn Wizards who had just spoken stammered twice and stopped talking.

Because there is no need to question anything anymore.

The size of the black dragon in front of him and its majestic and deep aura showed that what Ryan said was not false.

The dragons under his command are so powerful, not to mention the dragon knight himself, whose strength is at least in the late Dawn stage!
For a moment, the three of them were quite ashamed of what they had just said.

Hiram, on the other hand, quietly watched the changes in the expressions of the others with a smile on his face, and at the same time couldn't help laughing in his heart.

These people had always suspected that he and the Swordmaster Tirion were over-praising His Majesty Ren.

Now, seeing the dull expressions on the faces of these three people, Hiram felt strangely refreshed, as if he was drinking ice in the summer.

At this moment, the communication mark on Hiram's chest suddenly flashed, and he clicked to listen.

The next second, Hiram's expression changed, and he immediately said:
"Your Majesty, everyone. Brother Zock just said that a powerful beast is heading straight for the cave camp. Let's prepare for battle."

"Hmm? A behemoth?" Ryan immediately thought of something.

"Report! My Lords, the lookout has discovered a strange beast that looks like a dragon, flying towards us from the western sky." At this time, a federal officer came to report loudly.

"Your Majesty, let's go and take a look together." Swordmaster Tirion invited.

"Okay." Ryan nodded.

In fact, Ryan is already 80% to 90% sure that the so-called giant beast should be the steel dragon Dorick.

But after all, I haven't met the other person. If I make a mistake, it would be inappropriate. So it is naturally better to go and take a look first to confirm it.

Then, the group arrived above the Reserro Canyon, and saw a ferocious beast with a metallic halo flashing in the sun in the distant sky. It caught everyone's sight, and there were several imperial armed airships following closely behind.

"It's that guy Dolik. (Dragon language)" the black dragon Metes said in a low voice.

"Yeah, that's right." Ryan nodded with a smile.

From the first sight of the other party, Ryan determined the other party's identity - the Steel Dragon Dolic.

"Your Majesty Tirion, you can withdraw the alert. The other party is a friend of Metes." Ryan smiled and patted the black dragon's broad back, and said to the swordsman Tirion beside him.

In order not to reveal that he could contract two dragons, Ryan defined the Steel Dragon Doric as a friend of the Black Dragon Metes.

Although it is also a bit shocking, it at least makes sense.

The words of his master made the black dragon Metis complain in his heart, "Who is the friend of that arrogant steel dragon!", but he could only say this in his heart.

"A friend of your dragon partner?" Tirion was stunned when he heard it. He looked at the black dragon Metes under Ryan's crotch with surprise and was a little confused for a moment.

He had never heard of such a good relationship between a dragon and its dragon rider. Would a dragon even invite friends to help?

Ryan's words also shocked the people around him, including Hiram!
What?
As old rivals, the Federation is naturally well aware of the relationship between the Dragon Knights and dragons of the Dragun Empire.

The relationship between the two is actually more like a cooperation contract, and there is no situation where the dragon rider is the master. Dragons are so arrogant, how could they really recognize humans as their masters?

However, the unique dragon blood of the Dragun royal family greatly reduced the resistance of the five-colored dragons, and they reached a long-term alliance during the reign of Emperor Atlas.

But even so, they had never heard of a situation like this, where the dragon invited friends to help.

"The steel dragon Doric likes to eat metal, so Metes was able to invite it over."

"Of course, it won't take anything from this exploration of the floating city ruins, except for swallowing some rare metals." Ryan explained with a smile.

"I see. Of course we welcome it."

As the person in charge of the Federation, Swordmaster Tirion naturally welcomes the joining of such a powerful dragon.

A rare steel dragon that is almost as powerful as the black dragon Metis, almost as powerful as several powerful federation warriors.

Hiram and the others standing by also suddenly understood.

That's right, steel dragons like metals, and the thing that is most abundant in the floating city is various metal creations. No wonder it can be mobilized, it turns out that the reason is here.

"Attendant, quickly arrange for people to expand the cave gate. At least it should be able to allow the two dragon lords to enter easily!" Swordmaster Tirion immediately arranged.

"Yes, sir!" a federal colonel immediately saluted.

In the distance, the Zock brothers, who had received the message, looked at each other in surprise after hearing the news.

"What? This giant beast was actually invited by His Majesty Ryan, the representative of the Empire?"

"He was invited by His Majesty Ryan's dragon companion, the Black Dragon Metis. His name is the Steel Dragon Doric." Hiram on the other side carefully corrected the mistakes in Og Zok's words.

But Ogg was no longer interested in Hiram's attitude towards him, and murmured:
"It turned out to be a rare dragon of the very old dragon level - a steel dragon. No wonder the two of us were no match for it just now."

"Unbelievable." Otto Zok also murmured with a look of shock on his face.

However, this made him understand immediately.

Why did the steel dragon in front of me hold back before? So that's why.

"Notify the airship formation to end the alert and return to the fixed cruising route." Oger, who had come to his senses, immediately gave the order.

"Yes, my lord."

"Come on, Otto, let's go pay a visit to His Majesty, Lord Ryan." Og took the initiative to say to his younger brother, his tone sighing, without any trace of his previous arrogance.
