Throne of the North.

Chapter 458: Unique Legend, Small Goal

On the ruined battlefield, Sven was terrified by the battle in the distance.

He saw Fuan pull out a long sword that looked useless, but as blood was spilled, the sword became shiny. At the same time, the man, who was much stronger than the others, also changed. He roared, his eyes bloodshot, and rushed towards the dragon warriors.

The dragon warriors were extremely fast, but they would always be slashed at the most fatal parts by Fuan. Their thick skin did not serve as any obstacle. The sword could tear open the flesh and blood of the dragon warriors and split them in two. As the flesh and blood were torn apart, green spots appeared. That should be the essence of the dragon that Lord Ryan mentioned.

This energy was consumed by Fuan, making him more and more courageous. As the killing became excessive, Fuan became somewhat irrational and swung the sword instinctively.

More than a hundred powerful dragon warriors, even the same number of knights and attendants of the Stag Legion, could not claim a 100% victory, but they were killed like cutting melons and vegetables in front of Fuan. In less than half an hour, half of them died.

Fuan became more and more brave, but he also became tired, and the executioner who fought with him left him with several bloody wounds.

The battle continued, and Sven looked at the bewildered humans around him and scolded them.

"You still dare to stand here, do you want to go against the Dragon Lord!?"

After hearing his words, the people around him no longer cared about the war here and fled away in fear.

"You traitor to humanity!"

Fuan roared loudly, repelled the dragon warriors in front of him, and then rushed towards Sven. He was extremely angry. It was unforgivable that there were humans who were loyal to the dragon.

Sven was frightened and turned his horse around to retreat. He was just a bard. Even with the blessing of Lord Ryan, he was only physically strong, not unparalleled in combat power.

But the Dragon Chosen one in front of him was obviously one of the unrivaled kind.

"What are you standing there for? Stop him! Capture him and present him to His Majesty the Honorable Drummond!"

Sven shouted loudly, asking the dragon warriors to stay put, but the dragon warriors stayed where they were.

Fuan rushed to a place not far from Sven, who had just turned his horse around and was about to run away.

But at this moment, Fuan in the back suddenly calmed down, and then fled madly towards the ruins with the executioner.

In the sky, the sunlight was blocked by a shadow. A majestic dragon descended from the sky. Its dark dragon scales emitted an icy light in the sunlight. Its cold dragon eyes looked down at the land below, bringing extremely terrifying pressure.

Fuan had disappeared in the ruins. The dragon lord Drummond roared, his throat turned red, and the next moment the blazing flames melted the stones of the ruins. But after a long time, Drummond also let out an angry dragon roar.

"Damn the Chosen Dragon!"

Turning around, Drummond looked at Sven, who immediately dismounted and shouted respectfully.

"Your Majesty, your loyal servant thanks you for saving me."

"You did not deceive me, Slave. You found the Chosen One."

"The Chosen Dragon also died in front of your majesty."

"He's not dead."

Drummond walked out of the ruins step by step, and a loud voice was heard.

"He has escaped, find him, my servant."

After leaving the ruins, Drummond flew into the sky. Sven felt strange. Can't you just fly?
Things are not over yet. The dragon lord who ascended into the sky gave Sven a task.

"I need a sacrifice!"

Hearing this, Sven became silent, but soon came to his senses.

"Follow your will."

The ruined city had not yet recovered from its grief when it was brutally driven together by the dragon warriors. They looked at the giant black dragon soaring in the sky, and no one dared to resist.

Sven commanded these people to clear out an altar from the ruins. The altar looked like a high platform made of a pile of stones. This was not the most important thing. The most important thing was the flames spewed out by the dragon lord Drummond, which ignited the pile of firewood in the middle of the altar.

The green flames look particularly creepy.

"The merciful Dragon Lord Drummond has forgiven your crimes. Now you need to offer your faith and use your faith to surpass His Majesty the Dragon Lord Drummond."

Sven's voice echoed around, and people were terrified. In this land of Muspel, the Dragon Lord had not ruled them for a hundred years, and they had long forgotten how to treat dragons.

They forgot that the terrible dragon warriors would help them remember. Under the threat of the cold dragon tooth sword, sturdy young men stood on the altar, and then the green flames began to burn on their bodies.

Sven opened his eyes wide, this was the first time he saw humans offering sacrifices to dragons. The dragon would accept the sacrifice, devour the humans' faith, and then condense it into the essence of the dragon.

He saw a man wailing in the flames, then turned into ashes, and then emerald green dragon essence condensed, floating in the sky, and sank into the body of the giant dragon Drummond.

Some humans survived, and as the flames died out, they turned into new dragon warriors, tall, mighty, with dark eyes and no agility at all.

The dragon warriors who had survived the battle with the Dragon Chosen One Fuan also walked up to the altar. Sven looked at these dragon warriors in shock, watching these monsters gradually emitting a black aura. Gradually, dozens of dragon warriors turned into ashes, leaving only one.

The only remaining dragon warrior had a pair of horns growing on his head, like those of a bison.

The dragon tooth sword in his hand also became wider and looked terrifyingly sharp.

"The Chosen Dragon has activated his weapon. If you want to capture him, you must possess the Mad Dragon Nightmare."

"This is the power I give you. Go and seize him, my servant."

Mad Dragon Nightmare, a high-level soldier among the dragon warriors, has the power to defeat the Dragon Chosen. In Sven's opinion, the previous Dragon Chosen was no less inferior to the Silver Knight, while the Mad Dragon Nightmare in front of him had an oppressive feeling comparable to that of the peak Gold Knight.

How many such mad dragon nightmares are there under the command of the dragon lord Drummond?

"I'll catch him."

Sven said to the flying dragon lord Drummond, and then began to command the mad dragon Nightmare and the two hundred new dragon warriors around him to move the ruins.

"The Chosen Dragon escaped from this underground place. Find him!"

The dragon warriors were like machines that never knew fatigue. As a large amount of ruins were uncovered, they did not find the Dragon Chosen One, but they did rescue many struggling humans.

“I don’t know when the army will arrive here.”

Sven was a little hesitant. This mad dragon nightmare seemed to be so powerful that it was scary. Lord Mikael might not be its opponent.

Thinking of this, Sven came to the only passage he had discovered early in the morning.

"The Chosen One must have escaped from this underground river. Let's go to the nearest river and find him!"

After leaving the city with the dragon army, Sven began to search aimlessly in the wilderness.

On the other side, a shocking battle broke out, causing countless monsters to flee into the mountains and forests. The dragon monarch, Rhinedat, the amber flame dragon that destroyed the city before, was attacked and bitten by a crystal python that suddenly jumped out of the river. The angry dragon monarch and the crystal python started fighting. Originally, it had an absolute upper hand, but soon, Rhinedat found something wrong.

"poisonous?"

It was extremely surprised. Is there any poison in the world that can affect a powerful dragon?

Its heavy wings caused it to fall from the sky, but even so, the Dragon Lord was powerful. The Crystal Python was defeated again and again in front of the dragon's power, but because its body was not crystal but shadow, it was able to recover and bite the dragon again and again.

"Damn guy!"

Rhinedat roared, and at this moment, the ground beneath his feet collapsed. The earth that supported his weight actually collapsed. What shocked him the most was that large pieces of metal liquid surrounded him and turned into a cage, sealing him inside.

The cage was not just a cage. As the crystal python roared, the metal cage began to emit terrible light and heat. Once again, the molten metal turned into liquid and dripped onto the body of the dragon lord Rhinedat. Every drop of hot molten iron corroded a wound on the dragon's body that emitted thick smoke.

The pain brought about a terrible dragon roar. The Amber Flame Dragon spewed out flames recklessly, destroying everything around it. Even cracks appeared on the surface of the Crystal Python. It had to turn into a shadow again and shuttle around the dragon, waiting for an opportunity.

The mountains and forests were set on fire, and thousands of meters of land turned into a world of fire at a very fast speed. Walking in this fire, the dragon's horror was fully demonstrated. The crystal python made sneak attacks more than a dozen times in a row, but was torn to pieces by the dragon that reacted.

It's powerful, but not as powerful as you might think.

On the other side of the distant hill, Rose frowned as he watched the battle in the distance. The sound of mechanical gears turning came from his metal arms.

It has to be said that the strength displayed by this giant dragon monarch made him eager to try to kill the other party.

On the contrary, whether it is the Fire Dragon Christman or the Frost Dragon Areris, he would not have such an idea.

“Legend, but not really a legend.”

Rose had never seen such a legend, but he had heard of it. The first time was in the war in the Andara Kingdom, against the followers of Surtur the Dusk, and the second time was also in the Andara Kingdom. Not long ago, Ryan went to the Andara Kingdom, and the frost dragon killed a follower of the evil god Hobiy.

The only difference is that this dragon is closer to being a true legend who has received the legendary gift than the two evil god's followers.

What is the difference between them?

When Rose returned to the Frozen Territory, Ryan gave him an answer.

"The essence of dragon. The great dragon monarch obtained the power of faith from the sacrifices of human slaves, which formed the essence of dragon."

"Those dragons used the essence of dragons to replace the effect of legendary gifts."

"Of course, a fake is a fake."

"It seems these dragons are not as powerful as we imagined."

"If we can bring Lord Areris with us, we can definitely kill those dragon monarchs."

Ryan was wearing the crown of the Dragon Emperor. This thing could be worn on the head of a dragon or on his head as a human, in any size.

It is impossible to let Areris pass through the plane gate. The plane gate opened by Ryan is only about three meters high, and even cavalry cannot ride their horses through it.

However, there is another way to open the alternate dimension, which is to use the crown of the Dragon Emperor on your head, which can open a larger channel.

The only problem is that the Frost Dragon is still sleeping, and Ryan cannot use more exciting means to wake it up. The relationship between them is not good enough to that extent.

After resolving the threat from Hobiyi, the relationship between the man and the dragon returned to zero again.

Without the help of the Frost Dragon, Ryan has to consider other means. Magic is the first option. Since those dragon monarchs are not complete legendary dragons, a magician who specializes in defeating the powerful will be very useful.

For example, if we could invite Countess Winter, the powerful space sanctuary magician, and give her the conditions to arrange things, it would be possible to kill those dragon monarchs one by one.

But the problem is that Ryan would not invite such a noble.

It would be fine if it was just a pure magician, but Countess Winter is a noble, and once another noble is involved, then the matter will turn into a political issue.

Find other sanctuary magicians, or find other ways.

As for inviting legends, Ryan had previously invited the legendary knight Mulan to protect his territory, but the price he paid was the precious resource, the Divine Bone Potion.

"Master, the Dragon Chosen has been found."

The Viscountess came to Ryan and said, surprising both Ryan and Rose.

"So fast?"

Ryan thought that the Chosen Dragon, who needed to grow to the point of fighting the dragon, could hide for a long time, but he was discovered so quickly.

The bard Sven brought back news that the growth path of the Chosen Dragon was so magical that it made people jealous. He could always suddenly explode at inexplicable times. In order to test his power, more than half of the dragon warriors belonging to Drummond under Sven's command were lost.

It is certain that he was not caught. Sven does not work for the Dragon Lord, and Ryan does not want the Chosen Dragon to die at the hands of a dragon, otherwise it will be fifty years before the next Chosen Dragon comes.

"It seems that I don't need to use material means to help him grow."

Ryan had been thinking about giving the Chosen Dragon a batch of magic potions, but now it seems that there is no need to go through so much trouble.

The Chosen Dragon has a physique all his own.

"but……"

"So many people died, that's my wealth."

Ryan was somewhat dissatisfied. As he possessed a spiritual panel, he did not need too many reasons to attach importance to the population. However, every time a human was killed in the other world, it meant that Ryan immediately lost a little spirituality, and indirectly lost more spirituality in the future.

After all, if you round it up, Master Ryan has lost tens of thousands of spiritualities, if you round it up.

Nowadays, spiritual energy is consumed everywhere. Master Ryan is just short of beating up the spiritual panel and breaking the spiritual energy into two halves to use.

"Every fifty years, the dragon monarchs have been using this method to control the population."

Ryan now knows that a large amount of food is grown in the other world. Logically, the population should multiply more and more. However, because of those dragon monarchs, the population has always remained within a certain range.

Master Lane's fortune was severely affected.

"Everyone should be a citizen of Ryan."

Ryan took a deep breath. He planned to change his plan of slowly exploring the other world. Since those dragon kings were not as powerful as he imagined, he could be more radical in his actions.

"Let's set a small goal. First, kill a giant dragon monarch and test our skills."
