"Dragon?" Upon hearing this word in the goblin's hoarse voice, Pétain, who was driving the carriage, abruptly stopped. He couldn't believe it.

"You mean a dragon? Ugly thing, are you pronouncing it correctly?"

"It's a dragon, right?! A giant dragon soaring through the sky!"

The goblin nodded quickly. Although the languages ​​he and Roan spoke had different pronunciations, they both belonged to branches of ancient languages.

"That's right, sir, it's a dragon."

The goblin repeated the pronunciation.

"The warrior was sent flying high by the dragon's tail, and he was motionless when he landed."

"Then the dragon took flight, and a fierce wind shattered your defenses. The human warriors were stunned, watching the dragon depart."

"While we're there, we'll storm your position...and capture your men."

"I swear! We didn't kill them!"

The goblin was afraid that Luo An would stab him again.

"Ashika knew that you humans had a 'kingdom,' and ordered us to capture everyone in exchange for this land."

"So that's how it is."

Pétain breathed a sigh of relief. But after hearing that Levi had fallen to the ground, he frowned again.

"Luo An, you don't understand, right? That's ancient language."

Like priests, nobles learned ancient languages, the language of the gods and a symbol of nobility.

Luo An only half understood until Bei Dan explained that the goblin was talking about a dragon.

Even Luo An's expression changed at this moment.

Dragons, even in legends, are legendary beings.

That kind of thing actually appeared?!

Pétain's hands trembled slightly. He took a deep breath to calm himself and slowly spoke in an ancient language.

Luo An's knowledge of ancient languages ​​was limited, and he could barely understand Pétain's pronunciation.

"With dragons soaring in the sky, humanity has no chance of winning."

That is a proverb left over from the time of the gods, and no one has ever broken it.

The carriage started again, but it was unusually quiet.

Although unwilling to admit it, the moment Luo An heard the word "dragon," he did have a premonition that Levi might be dead.

Nevertheless, the carriage continued forward. The need to see the person alive or dead is the same in any world.

"Don't worry," Pétain suddenly said.

"To put it more positively, Levi is the Iron Knight, and his armor is made of refined iron. How could a dragon's strength possibly shatter steel?"

Even dragons aren't that big; those ugly little dwarfs don't know anything about dragons.

"That dragon might have already run away." Pétain seemed to be comforting Roan, and also comforting himself.

With dragons soaring in the sky, humanity has no chance of winning!

"..." Luo An remained calm and did not respond to Bei Dan's words, instead using his personal whetstone to sharpen his longsword.

To Luo An, dragons and goblins are essentially the same.

All you need to do is defeat them and rescue Levi.

Just then, the carriage passed through the woods, and the sound of flowing water could be heard.

We've reached the plains by the river.

This also means that we are very close to Hewang Village.

The horses suddenly stopped neighing without warning, and Pétain grabbed them to prevent the carriage from overturning.

He cursed "beast," then suddenly looked up and exclaimed in shock.

"My God! That's—a dragon!"

Before Luo An could even raise his head, he felt a wave of heat wash over him.

The entire valley was ablaze. Villages, forests, wheat fields—the burning goblins howled and charged at the carriage, crashing into it, rolling to the side, and falling silent.

"roar!"

A furious roar suddenly came from the sky, and the outline of a dragon was illuminated by the flames it spewed. The crimson dragon was so huge that even from that distance, you could feel its immense size, which was larger than a church!

The sheer force of their wings alone was enough to sweep across the entire valley like a whirlwind!

"Dragon! Dragon! Dragon!"

Pétain exclaimed in astonishment, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined that such a terrifying being could actually appear before my very eyes."

Such power was so great that even the most steadfast knight couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

That was something humans couldn't possibly defeat; only the gods could be a match for dragons, and humans could only run away.

The only saving grace was that the dragon didn't notice the small carriage.

It is venting its anger on Hewang Village.

From the occasional bursts of flame, Roan saw a longsword in the dragon's chest.

Levi's longsword pierced the dragon's body, and dragon blood flowed from the wound.

It's looking for Levi's!

That would mean that Levi's was indeed in Riverview Village.

Without hesitation, Luo An got off the carriage first. The horses were already frightened, so they had to walk.

Before leaving, Roan turned to the goblin. "Your wounds have scabbed over. Run for your life."

The goblin touched his wound in disbelief and then disappeared into the forest.

Luo An then took a step.

"Wait!" Pétain called out to Roan and quickly stepped forward, pouring water from the water bag onto him and Roan.

"Keep your body low to the ground. Don't be fooled by how high that thing is flying; it has excellent eyesight."

"You go to the east side of the village. I'll go to the west. Besides rescuing Levi, those lowly soldiers are also my men. Don't forget them."

After saying that, Pétain rushed towards the burning village of Riverview.

Luo An followed closely behind, braving the scorching heat, and rushed into the village.

The first thing I felt wasn't heat, but scorching breath. The silver armor, made of refined iron, effectively blocked heat and maintained the temperature.

But breathing still inevitably involves inhaling scalding hot air.

Luo An felt his throat was very dry, followed by thirst, and then he immediately felt the heat.

My throat is burned.

Luo An quickly covered his mouth and nose with his cloak.

Having visited Hewang Village once before, Luo An still had some impression of it. Relying on his memory, he scanned the surroundings and saw that to the east... should be a granary.

An empty barn is perfect for imprisoning people.

Luo An strode towards the barn, where countless charred corpses came into view. The fire was so intense that it was distorted, making it impossible to see clearly or get close enough to determine whether the remains were human or goblin.

Luo An simply stopped looking and, relying on his memory, began to explore the east side of the village.

The dragon was still circling, and if I'm not mistaken, it was also looking for Levi.

Luckily, I brought a cloak. The flowing silver armor was very conspicuous in the firelight, Roan thought to himself.

The burning ruins not far away suddenly collapsed, attracting Roan's attention. He noticed that there was a goblin in the fire.

In Roan's opinion, all goblins looked pretty much the same, except for the guy in front of him, who had a clear bloodstain on his neck.

The goblin noticed Roan, but he paid no attention, taking a few glowing herbs and rolling around in the burning ruins.

He growled in an ancient language, which Roan could barely understand. It sounded like the goblin was howling, and it seemed to be something like "daughter."

The goblin dug out a charred hand. He froze, sitting in the fire, completely unaware of the burning pillar above his head that was about to collapse.

"careful."

Luo An shouted, and seeing that the goblin did not move, he suddenly accelerated and pulled the goblin out of the sea of ​​fire just before the pillar hit it.

The goblin stared blankly at Roan, gesturing intermittently in the Common Tongue.

Why did you save me?

"Just a quick favor." Luo An dropped the goblin and left. Now that he had let the goblin go, Luo An didn't want him to die in vain.

The goblin stared blankly at Luo An's retreating figure, grinned, ran towards Luo An, and handed him the flowers in his hand.

It gestured.

"This flower was planted by my daughter; it can withstand the cold, fire, strong winds, and rain."

"Our race has been wandering since the age of the gods. No one has ever cared about us. They have constantly driven us away and treated us as slaves."

"Humans, if we could, my daughter and I would like to say goodbye to you in another way."

Luo An didn't understand what the goblin was gesturing about.

The goblin grinned, a hideous grin, then turned and disappeared into the sea of ​​fire.
