176 – Light Dragon Is Not Air Force Training Anyway (5)

Purely, Naria was surprised by the current situation.

Even though people are sitting in the stands, they can watch the realism of the flying dragon running through that screen, and many people are enthusiastic about the game.

One. Naria was amazed at the empire’s magic engineering technology that created this environment.

They say everyone has at least one talent, but Gray Gibraltar’s ability to drive a drake surprised everyone.

It is questionable whether this should be called riding a flying dragon, or running towards a flying dragon like a piece of luggage.

However, the fact that he was able to hold on to the Hippogriff’s ankle with one hand and fly for a distance of several kilometers with one hand was in itself a testament to Gray Gibraltar’s riding skills.

Two. Naria was surprised by Gray’s riding skills, which he rarely showed to anyone.

In the background, where Gray’s skills stand out, there was a screen focusing on Gray, and dragons collapsed and collapsed behind Gray.

Someone was hit by a barrage of magic missiles from the wizards on the castle wall and fell to the ground, while someone else was hurriedly dodging a flying knight while competing for the lead, and ended up colliding with two dragons and falling to the floor.

“That’s the Drake Knights.”

The legendary knights who commanded the continent and ruled the world were the glory of the past, and in reality they were just a ragtag group.

Of course, Gyeongryong is not war.

However, as we pieced together the pieces one by one, such as the magicians’ artillery fire coming in from time to time, the flying dragons colliding with each other, and the speed competition, I was able to get a glimpse of the processes that ultimately took place during the ‘war’.

The actual situation is a mess.

As each knight was eliminated, behind Gray Gibraltar, who had a sore leg, the nobles in the stood looked serious and began to worry about the state of the Drake Knights.

Three. To be honest, Naria was most shocked by the terrible skills of the Drake Knights.

“Mother.”

“Don’t ask.”

“Isn’t the Duke of Winchester under the jurisdiction of the Drake Knights?”

“To be exact, the management of the ‘Drake’ is the responsibility of the Archduke. The Archduke also relatively recently realized that the drake riders were in such a state.”

“…Since he is a man with a lot of construction work, he must have thought that everyone would be trained well.”

To be a dragon knight or dragoon, the dragon and the rider riding it must work together.

No matter how great a drake is with a traditional lineage handed down from ancient times, if the rider on its back is poor, the drake is nothing more than a military beast that can only be judged by the animal’s intelligence.

“If the drakes cannot be controlled or controlled…”

“Won’t they run away? Unlike humans, drakes are basically beasts.”

“Will we…The drakes born and raised in Dragon’s Valley try to escape into the wild?”

“It won’t be easy. For a human, it would be like betraying Nostrum and running away to the empire. But in a situation where one’s life is at risk, a beast moves more instinctively than a human.”

“…”

Gyeongryong is not war.

But when war breaks out, will the dragon, which is helpless and has its rider pinned to the ground, quietly try to take care of its rider?

Not only are there countless magic missiles flying in the air, but arrows can also fly if they fall on the ground and don’t fly at a very high altitude, right?

“I guess I should say that I am fortunate that there are children among the flying dragons who do not carelessly run away into the wild.”

“There’s a leader. Over there.”

Queen Carmen pointed to the black dragon slowly descending towards the fallen dragoons.

“The Archduke’s drake is the leader of the drakes living in Dragon’s Canyon.”

“Is that the boy called ‘Black Rose’?”

“I’m already over 50 years old to say that, but I’m still active.”

Flap.

Black scales on the body reminiscent of a typical dragon.

The black dragon, which looked like a cross between a dragon and a wyvern, was not a pure dragon, but it was clear that there must have been a dragon among its ancestors.

“The Black Rose Death Star. It is the most powerful drake the Archduke possesses.”

“…”

“Even though she has no offspring since she cannot have children, look at that. Other drakes have seen the black rose and are following her like their own mother.”

“Rather than being a mother, it appears to be a stronger beast than itself and follows the leader of the pack.”

Naria was surprised.

The Duke of Winchester rides his other favorite dragon, the strongest drake that he only rides when he is going to the ‘front line’, and does it to collect those who have fallen out.

But it was reasonable.

If the drake Death Star had not appeared, some of the drakes might have been disappointed by the ugly fall of the rider on their back and returned to Dragon’s Canyon.

Maybe it’s a good thing if it’s Dragon’s Canyon.

It could have gone out there, through the canyon, toward the empire.

“Mother. Do dragons even do things called jealousy?”

“Jealousy?”

“Yes. The knight he was carrying on his back he was eliminated in an ugly way, but the flying dragons ahead of him are flying splendidly with humans on them.”

“You can’t help but be jealous, right? They are children who grew up seeing people flying around carrying people from the moment they were born in the canyon. I know this because I have already experienced it several times during practice. A drake is a drake, but…”

Bu-euung.

“How freely they can fly depends on what the rider on the dragon does.”

“…It’s not like riding a car.”

Once again, a gray shadow passes over the fallen dragon.

“If students start learning Gyeongryong starting next year, we should first prevent even experienced instructors from daring to demonstrate it.”

“…How about naming the riding method itself ‘grey riding’?”

“That would be good. Unless you can ride as well as the Gray Gibraltar, don’t even dare to think of flying while holding onto the drake’s ankles.”

Lastly, is there anything that surprised you?

“By the way, Mom, has Gray ever told you that he is good at riding dragons?”

“…I knew you had ridden it a few times since I gave it to you, but I didn’t know you could ride it so well.”

“Is that so?”

“Did you know?”

“To some extent.”

What Gray gave himself a little hint was that there were some parts that were not known to others.

“Who did your mother bet on?”

“W-walk? Hmm. What do you mean?”

“I understand that you paid money separately through Viscount Hex and his Gasols. How much was the dividend?”

“If anyone hears this, they will think that I was trying to make a lot of money by using my political son. Gray Gibraltar is a risky investment. The safe asset is the Marquis of Zeroth Barcel, who is still leading the way.”

“…”

Most are expecting the victory of the 1st Knight Commander of the royal family, Zeros Barcel.

“Who did you bet on? By any chance…”

“Gray Gibraltar said: Bet on Gibraltar.”

“…It’s shameful. I didn’t tell my mom about it.”

“Gray’s mother is Countess Charlotte, mother.”

“You.”

“It’s okay. I’ll give it to my mother as much as I earn, thinking I’m being filial to my mother.”

“Do you feel like you are secretly resembling Gray?”

“I am learning well.”

Naria smiled slightly.

“Or maybe they were similar from the beginning.”

“Huh…?”

“Sometimes, I think about that. Whether in my past life or in some other world, Gray Gibraltar and I might have been siblings.”

“…You’re saying something really scary. Are you talking about siblings by sworn siblings?”

“No. They are biological siblings born in the same litter. It just feels that way.”

Naria’s smile somehow resembled Gray Gibraltar’s smile her reflected on the screen.

“It’s nonsense, but it’s almost time for the first lap to end. Let’s…Let’s watch.”

Track, 4/5 points of 1 lap.

“Keeping your power hidden isn’t Gray Gibraltar’s style.”

* * *

I went from 20th to 2nd.

Those who were running behind me have all been eliminated and are probably preparing to fly again according to the special rules of the Gyeongryongjang exhibition game.

Still, it is slower than the leading group.

Of course, it is much slower than the knight commander’s dragon, Marquis Zeroth Barcel, who I am currently chasing.

In other words, you can chase first place without interference from others.

New–love!!

Nidhogg just flaps his wings without saying anything.

There must have been loyal soldiers among the wizards on the castle wall, and the moment I was about to reach the finish line, they rained down a huge amount of magic missiles at me, trying to shoot me down.

‘Slow.’

However, it is not enough to keep up with Nidhogg’s acceleration.

‘It’s all an afterimage.’

The magic missile only hit the trajectory we flew in vain.

If you see it on the screen, it will probably look like it’s being penetrated by a magic missile, which may cause someone to scream, but when they see us running ahead of them in perfect condition, the screams will turn into cheers.

‘If you don’t truly hate and hate something, most people will enjoy it.’

It doesn’t matter if you’re not a fan.

Loyalist soldiers who hate and envy Gray Gibraltar as traitors like they breathe on a daily basis, and most of them, unless they are extreme, are enthusiastic and cheer at the sight of him riding on a flying dragon.

Especially.

‘What if a young person shows that he or she can overcome an old man?’

For Orosol Academy students, it can be a role model.

“Chi-it!”

Did he feel our pursuit?

Leader Zeros Barcell drew his sword.

He even created an aura on his sword, and he decided to bring us down somehow.

-Are you trying to bring me down by even manifesting auras?

It is not said in words.

Making noise could interfere with Nidhogg’s acceleration, so I expressed my thoughts through my mouth.

“!!”

Leader Zeros ‘eyes his, seen through his helmet his, were bloodshot.

His drake, who glanced behind him, was also on high alert, keeping an eye on Nidhogg, who was casually following him, and even though the gap was gradually narrowing, he seemed likely to overtake him around the corner.

Pulp!

Leader Zeros’ drake deliberately flaps its wings wide and even wags its tail.

An attack that clearly impedes Nidhogg’s path and at the same time targets Nidhogg’s back his.

“Tsk.”

It is a learned attack.

Still, the leader must have had some training, and with familiar and skillful movements, Leader Zeros’ dragon aimed at Nidhogg’s ‘back’.

Bu-euung!

Nidhogg flew down lightly.

If it were a normal drake, the tail would have hit the rider’s neck and he would have fallen backwards, but I just flew under Nidhogg, holding on to his ankles.

“This…!”

As I turned the corner and tried to overtake Nidhogg while flying vertically, my body was exposed to the gap between Captain Zeros.

“Die, imperial bug!!”

Did you think about it now?

Leader Zeros wielded a sharp aura and swung his sword as if he wanted to at least cripple me, not just my legs his his.

“What is death?”

Ka-ang.

“?!”

A quick strike that can’t even be captured on screen.

Just before the leader’s attack with the staff flew, the aura formed on the blade of the sword flicked the sword in a momentary ‘moment’.

“Trying to kill in a ‘game’.”

Pa-ang!

Nidhogg spreads his wings wide and moves forward.

“Sloppy.”

“!?!?!!?”

Nidhogg runs.

As soon as he entered the straight course, he perfectly passed Leader Zeros and finished one lap in first place.

And the race continues for two laps without stopping.

From now on, all you have to do is run with overwhelming ability without losing first place –

Haha!”

I thought so, but a ‘rule breaker’ appeared.

“I can’t miss this competition!!”

A madman who didn’t even participate in the first lap, but thought it ‘natural’ to suddenly appear, storm into the stadium, and run.

“First place is mine! Fly, Golden Emperor, the Nosterum!!”

A drake wearing golden barding jumped out and blocked my path.

Haha!!”

“…”

The crazy king, who was extremely embarrassed no matter where he went, stormed into the Gyeongryongjang track while heavily drunk.
