Chapter 71 - Guns and Dragons

"It seems to be a fortress dragon of the New Dragon Empire, Your Majesty" Lucy, who landed beside Feihren, immediately informed him about what she knew of the fat dragon that had suddenly appeared.

"How do you know of this?" Feihren inquired as he still intently gazed at the descending figure of the dragon fortress.

"It seems that the 'Ancient Demon Lord' within me is knowledgeable enough about this matter." Lucy immediately answered as she continued "Should I approach the fortress as to confirm their identity, Your Majesty?"

"Hmmm... Might as well. Just stay cautious and be careful. Contact me immediately if you don't feel like they are here to do any 'business' that would benefit us." Feihren instructed Lucy. Her wings opened wide as she burst forth towards the dragon that was sluggishly making its way to the side of the battlefield.

...

On the other side of the battlefield, aside from the troops of the Garudia kingdom that were still fending off the attack of the winged beasts, the united army had directed their attention towards the sudden appearance of a flying fortress.

"Hmmm... I don't think that they would be an ally of the Wolfenstein Kingdom. I doubt that it would be an ally of ours either." One of the generals near Louie spoke up as they witnessed the gargantuan figure landing on the side of the battlefield.

Louie did not mutter a single word as he focused his gaze on the dragon that was descending on the other side of the valley. It seems that Feihren was not bothering with this sudden random development and was still watching the chaos with the Garudia kingdom and their beasts.

...

"What is the Regent of the New Dragon Empire doing here?"

Duke Adrian immediately pinpointed the identity of the person who had suddenly appeared just by looking at this grandiose 'mount' that he was riding. It's a Mythical-grade Behemoth Dragon that could only be trained by people with the bloodline of True Dragons.

It was indeed a baffling turn of events for both parties that were part of this war. It was as if the battle that was currently happening became a sideshow from the sudden appearance of what seems to be the current ruling power of the New Dragon Empire.

...

A fat person with two curved horns on the sides of his chubby face appeared from the main doorway of the fortress. It was the Regent of the New Dragon Empire, Emperor Destrian Millieos.

"I was right. Something interesting was indeed unfolding around these parts eh? Good thing I wasn't flying way too high, else I could've missed this show. Oh!" Destrian had not finished his sentence as a dark figure approached the fortress with tremendous speed.

"What is the New Dragon Empire doing in this place?" The speeding figure halted as a cold woman's voice questioned Destrian.

"Oh? It seems that you are knowledgeable about who we are, woman? It seems that I do not have to introduce myself then. Ah! But for the sake of milady, I'll humbly say my name. I am Destrian, the current emperor of the New Dragon Empire."

"Hmph. The New Dragon Empire only serves their Dragon Empress and not some slug that can barely stand on his two feet..." Lucy mockingly replied as she pointed her longsword towards Destrian, and added,

"But it seems you aren't lying? I do not know what is going on with the affairs of your empire, but one thing should be made clear, don't intervene in ours."

"Oi milady, I am not that kind of guy you know? So please, do continue with your little war here. I was just passing by and had stopped, hoping to see some good action." Destrian laughed as his obese cheeks bounced, and he continued,

"But may I inquire about what kingdom you hail from, milady?"

"The Wolfenstein Kingdom. We have a dispute to settle against the Garudia Kingdom. As such, I will repeat this one more time. Do not interfere, or else..." Lucy replied coldly as she grew silent, within the next moment she laughed maniacally. Totally uncharacteristic from her mellow maiden voice. "It seems that you'll find out soon enough if you attempt to cross that line..."

Lucy turned her back as she flew towards the western valley, returning to the side of Feihren.

"It had been taken care of Your Majesty. I do not think that they will interfere with this war... one way or another," Lucy reported to Feihren, whom was calmly observing the movement of the Imperial troops on the sides of the battlefield.

"Then I guess it's time to pick up the pace?" Feihren replied

...

The dragon fortress could be seen napping on the side of the battlefield as the people within its fortress were looking outside to witness the war unfolding. They hold a great high ground perspective as they could clearly witness the battle from a great vantage point.

"It would seem like that lady knight isn't to your liking your Imperial Majesty. Perhaps, she was too arrogant?" A burly man standing beside Destrian jokingly inquired.

"Nah, she's the feisty type, and I do not mind adding her to my collection." Destrian replied with a lewd look on his face.

"Oh? Perhaps after this war, we could favorably acquire what you want then, Your Highness." The burly man bowed as he instructed a few formidable people to take advantage after this battle ended.

"Well, it seems that this random 'stroll' had granted me a great abundance," Destrian muttered to himself as a malicious grin appeared on his face.

...

Feihren did not change his armor as he paraded towards the battlefield in beautiful white robes. These was no ordinary armored robes, to begin with; This thing was similar in effect to that of the [Hades Armor],only that it does not just boost raw Damage and HP, but actually provides greater resistance, which would make sense considering that this was a large scale battle.

...

[Holy Messiah's Robes] (Deity)

"Effect: Grants 20% Physical Damage Reduction...

"Effect: Grants 20% Magical Damage Reduction ...

"Effect: Grants stackable Magical and Physical resistance for all damage taken of the same type. Increases resistance for every 100 damage taken."

...

Even though it does not look like it, this was something akin to the 'tankiest' armor Feihren has, although it was elegant and not bulky looking. Feihren then equipped his favorite Custom-Grade weapon. With Perfect Durability and a good amount of Ammunition prepared, Feihren could take out at least the entirety of the remaining Garudia Kingdom forces, after they were thinned out by the winged beasts.

'Equip'>>>'[AKM-V] (Feihren Gama Custom grade)'

Although the ammo he had prepared was a bit limited in comparison to the amount of enemies they needed to defeat, with Lucy by his side on the battlefield, he could ensure the victory for the rest of his troops. The ability of a [Supreme General] to easily oversee and fight amidst chaos is an advantage on its own. How much better would it be with the damage reduction passive that Lucy could provide. The few hundred Wolfenstein soldiers were akin to an elite troop amongst all the elite troops.

"Lucy, clean up the imperial troops that are sneaking about. I'll handle the rest of the Garudia soldiers..."
