Make the dragon great again

Chapter 28 "The strongest below the hero level"

At noon, William, Coleman and the Griffin Principality's hunting team found the camp where Rex and the others camped last night, as well as the clues to the camp left by Anna and others farther away.

The judgment of the chief guard of the palace, Coleman, was similar to that of Rex and the others last night, thinking that these were the traces left by the fleeing princess and her companions.

As the titular officer, William did not participate in decision-making throughout the process, and since he abandoned his bike and rode, his real side, which he usually hides well, has gradually been noticed by the people around him;

But William had other plans in his mind, and he didn't explain it at all. Instead, Coleman, who also had a supervisory role, became even more suspicious...

Following the traces deliberately left by Rex and the others, the team found the abandoned castle standing abruptly deep in the forest.

"Master Viscount..." Coleman hesitated to speak.

"Chief guard, don't worry about me, you are the officer anyway." William looked indifferent to Coleman.

Coleman opened his mouth, and finally said:
"According to the clues we found, the first princess of Bechymos should be hiding in this castle, but there are traces of horses trampling nearby. It is estimated that the other party has a backup helper that we don't know..."

"What does this have to do with me? The chief guard can figure it out."

William still had the attitude of not caring about anything.

"Anyway, I was just driven out of the country by my elder brother with an excuse, and I didn't want to see my brother who is an eyesore when he becomes the Marquis of the Golden Eagle."

Hearing William say such blunt words, Coleman couldn't say anything more, and after a salute, he went to direct his subordinates.

William, who stayed where he was, had a sneer on his face, not knowing what his plan was...

Not long after, the team entered the castle. Like Rex and the others in the morning, affected by the invisible spiritual aura, they subconsciously lowered their vigilance, leaving only four people outside, and everyone else entered the castle Inside.

After the large army entered, a figure wearing a mage's robe and holding a staff slowly walked out of the woods.

"... Strange, why do I feel a faint uneasiness in my heart?"

Alvarez frowned, and when he was about to start thinking, a breeze blew by, and Alvarez's thoughts drifted in another direction unconsciously.

"Is that William the kid?"

Inexplicably, in Alvarez's mind, the mocking expression that William showed after he discovered his identity some time ago, which made him very annoying.

"Hmph! This kid must have arranged something to target me... But it's a pity, facing a hero-level magician and a necromancer who is about to be promoted to a legend, you are a weak dragonborn, how much do you have?" Calculations are useless."

Alvarez laughed dumbfounded, shook his robe, and walked into the castle...

……

In the dungeon, in a hall as wide as a small square.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Three figures were thrown in from outside the stone gate of the hall, and what was vaguely seen throwing them in was a thick tail of a dragon beast.

These three were members of Rex's team who were originally arranged to guard outside the castle. After losing contact with their companions for half a day, they chose to enter the castle to look for them.

As for the result, it is already obvious. Like the previous colleagues, they went deep into the dungeon and were defeated by two extremely powerful rock-eating dragon beasts. After several casualties, the rest were thrown into the hall on the second floor among.

"Hey! There are three more..." A somewhat crazy voice sounded.

"You are...you are Lord Rex?"

The three people who were thrown in stood up enduring the pain, looked in the direction of the voice, and found that there were already several people here, and the one who spoke was their chief, the diamond-level [Wandering Swordsman] Rex!

However, this diamond-ranked adventurer who was hired by the Duchess at a large price and ranked fourth in the Eastern Union, at this time, was no longer as proud and fierce as before. He was leaning against the wall like a puddle of mud, Holding a half-broken greatsword in his hand, his expression was extremely complicated.

"Your Excellency Rex, what happened? Have you been defeated by those two dragon beasts?"

Rex raised his head blankly, as if answering, or muttering to himself:

"...Yeah, it's just a dragon beast, it's just a dragon beast... The strongest blow [Silver Fragmentation] I swung in a state of boiling fighting spirit, couldn't even break the dragon beast's skin, but It just swiped its tail and it knocked me down..."

Rex's expression suddenly became ferocious.

"No, no! That's not a rock-eating dragon beast at all! It's...it's some kind of even more terrifying monster!"

The three later knights were about to say something when the stone door of the hall suddenly opened again, and several injured figures were thrown in again.

After seeing the identity of the visitor, Rex laughed out loud.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Among the few people who were thrown in just now, a man whose half body was stained red with blood and held a half-broken long sword stood up tremblingly. After seeing Rex who was laughing, A look of shock appeared on his face.

"Rex Anglos!? Why are you here?"

Rex bent over laughing, tears welling from the corners of his eyes.

"Haha, cough, cough cough... Coleman Stoff, I heard that you were recruited by a certain nobleman and broke away from your identity as an adventurer. I didn't expect that nobleman to be Grand Duke Griffin! And I What I didn't even expect was that the team sent by Griffin this time was actually led by you!"

This half-body was stained red with blood, and it was the actual commander of Griffin's hunting team, Grand Duke Griffin's chief guard Coleman;
At the same time, he is also the third-ranked solo adventurer in the Eastern Adventurer's Guild. Like Rex, he is also known as "the strongest swordsman below the heroic level".

After hearing Rex's words, Coleman was about to say something, but as if he suddenly came to his senses, he quickly bent down and helped a young man stand up.

"Sir, are you all right?"

The person being supported was William V. Griffin, the second son of Grand Duke Griffin and the nominal commander of the team.

"I'm fine, but you, the chief guard, have suffered such a serious injury, so you need to take a good rest."

William waved his hand, signaling Coleman to ignore him, and looked curiously at Rex, the wandering swordsman opposite him whom he had heard about for a long time.

"Sir? It seems that this is the Marquis of the Golden Eagle who was offended by our Royal Highness?"

William's face darkened.

"Hmph! I've let you down, I'm not my talented big brother!"

Rex chuckled twice, ignored William, and asked Coleman with interest:
"They ranked you above me. Actually, I have been dissatisfied in my heart. Tell me, you suffered such a serious injury. Was it caused by one blow, or did you hold on to receive the second blow?"

"……one strike."

Rex was taken aback for a moment, looked at the broken sword in his hand, and his uninjured body, and then laughed again.

"Hahahaha... Coleman, after becoming Griffin's chief guard, you are no longer the [Speedest Sword] before!"

Rex smiled very heartily, and his originally depressed mood became slightly cheerful.

At this moment, there was a loud noise outside the hall.

"boom!"

The whole hall shook slightly with this loud noise.

William, who was ignored by Rex, raised his mouth slightly. He knew that the hero magician had also entered this underground palace.
