He Didn't Want to Be the Center of Attention, Hence, after Defeating the Demon Lord, He Became

Duke Solver, "How to Crusade Fire Dragons Anyone Knows."

Chapter II details the sequence of the crusade.

First of all, firedragons have gaps in water supply. Fire dragons are brilliant in sight, but their field of view is not wide. It is completely blind from the side to the back, and even if approaching from behind, it will not be noticed until the Fire Dragon fully looks back.

Once you see an enemy, however, you use a developed arm that specializes in the attack ahead, shaking your nails and attacking. If you feel being attacked from behind, swing a tough tail and try to get rid of the approacher, regardless of what you don't see.

The surface of the tail is covered with lizarded scales, but the contents are a chunk of forged muscle, which is delicious when cut off and made into a tail soup.

Aside from that, when a Fire Dragon is attacked by a fountain used for water supply, it first tries to look back and see the enemy.

Fire Dragons roar when they find enemies, but this is originally for calling their fellow Fire Dragons. This habit does not change even if there are no other firedragons nearby.

When the roar is sealed with a Silence Bullet, the Fire Dragon displays agitation and becomes filled with gaps for about ten seconds. If you are skilled, you can also focus and defeat this gap, but if not, you should try to accumulate damage.

Scales are suitable for targeting the base of relatively thin tails, flanks, feet, necks, etc., but if you do too much damage with a single blow, the firestorm can be intense and generate high heat around your body. This should be avoided until the end of the crusade, as only the firedragon runs and the forest can become a burning field.

Suitable would be the feet. If you use a large slash weapon to strike a blow, if you have enough strength, the Fire Dragon can't stand it.

If the firefly dragon turns to the left, it is a high altitude in the northwest of the forest.

If you turn to the right, move to the riverside south-east of the forest. At this time, the position where the firefly dragon will land is generally determined, and the nearby area is compacted by the weight of the firefly dragon.

After landing, the head of the Fire Dragon must be lowered. When approached from the front, it is less susceptible to vibrations and explosions and can be safely attacked in the head. So if you hit him with a blunt weapon or shield, the Fire Dragon has a high chance of dizziness.

Focus and fold here. If you don't hit enough and the Fire Dragon recovers from vertigo, the Attacker will need to work harder. Due to the structure of the arm, it is difficult to attack directly beside it, and the kick is only used during flight, so if you stick to the flank and attack, you can safely accumulate damage.

At this time, it is good to apply paralysis poison and sleep poison to the attacker's weapon. In the final phase, the Fire Dragon attempts a violent counterattack, so it is likely to cause unexpected accidents if the movement is not delayed by force.

Defenders or archers with shields need to be alerted if the Attacker/Archer is in danger when attacked by a Fire Dragon.

Fire Dragon attacks are very heavy, so taking a shield is a last resort, but it is highly likely that they can be stopped once. Even with a shield, the shock is heavy, so it is life-threatening to take it many times.

Still, don't think about taking a shield and matching our attack to the Fire Dragon attack. Only those who specialize in melee combat above the S-Rank will be able to do so.

Everything was carried terribly as described. It's as if the Fire Dragon is moving as Duke wrote.

Timis and the others took advantage of the beast path described in the notebook and took the shortest route to the Fire Dragon. As soon as he landed, Timis put his shield on the head of the firedragon, pointing to the habit of being unable to do anything else.

"--ahhhh!

"Ghhhhh...!

Gagging, a loud sound sounds, and the firedragon step back.

It's really dazzling - yes, when Timis understood, Rhea was pulling out her sword and slashing it into a firedragon.

"Let me finish here...! Haaa!"

Though it was a firedragon full of gaps, it wasn't easy to cut the scale even with the slashing of the body, and Rhea wrapped her tongue around its hardness. Still working with certainty, believe it and use your sword skill to the best of your ability, stacking attacks with dancing moves.

"I'm... haaa!

Timis sticks out his spear and targets the flank of the firedragon - but he can't get a single wound. Believing in the notebook guide that the blow is still going through, pull the spear and twist your lower body, poking it again with all your might.

"--Gwaaaaaahh...!

Fire Dragon falls back again - there, McKinley shoots bullets and chases them. The warhead mixed with paralysis poison and sleep poison to slow the movement of the firedragon in the final phase was initially hit by the scales, but the next warhead fired protruded into the scaled area by Ryan's sword.

"You can cum... if you stay like this, you can beat the Fire Dragon...!

McKinley learns to respond and reloads the next round.

And when I tried to target them, something unexpected happened to them.

"Ghhhhhhh!"

A firedragon, who was supposed to be dizzy, tried to fly Timmy and Ryan, who were sticking together and attacking each other, forcing their wings to burst into flames.

"Gyah....!

"--Miss!

When Timith got the wind, his stance collapsed - and he became defenseless, the tail of the indiscriminately swinging firedragon struck him.

"Nh...!

Rhea makes an instant decision to run into Timis and roll over the ground.

But I couldn't get past the tail of the Fire Dragon - Rhea's flank was ripped open, delayed for an instant, and her body was in terrible pain.

"Holy shit... damn it!

McKinley loses his coolness, is unable to target the wounds that Rhea inflicted on the Firestorm, and the warhead that was fired is hit by a flaming Firestorm.

A flaming firedragon returns to me. The eyes are filled with burning anger, and the scales are red and hot - the air around the firefly dragon is shaken by heat, causing a sunburn.

I didn't underestimate the fire dragon's blow. But the more painful than you can imagine, it makes Rhea realize what death is.

And she stood up with her sword pointed. Knowing that you can't catch a fire dragon attack with one hand holding down the wound.

"Miss, please run away... I'm here...!

"... no. If you have a shield, you can be attacked once... Lia, you need to get out of here."

"Nh... I'm being reckless! The Fire Dragon is furious and rough now... how many times more powerful than the attack earlier...!

"Still, it is. I can't let you die for forgiving my selfishness... haah!

The wounded Rhea cannot follow Timmy's movements, which should normally be easily stopped.

Timis holds his shield and faces the firedragon that is setting him up.

--Maybe we could have won a little more.

I couldn't do it because the Fire Dragon was also a creature, fighting desperately to protect its child.

(Mother... father. I'm sorry, sir. I'm here....)

"- Don't give up! You forgot what you learned so far!

"Nh...!?

I heard voices coming from somewhere. Sounds like you've heard it somewhere, but you've never heard it before.

Prepare yourself, and the heat returns to your dying heart. Timis drops his spear and holds his shield--and...

"Ghhhhhhhh...!

A roar that shakes the atmosphere of the Fire Dragon. While listening to that, Timis continued to stand with his whole body and spirit, believing in a shield.

◆ ◇ ◆

I can hear water flowing in the river.

A warm light is pouring in. The position of the sun in the raised sky indicates that it is still before noon.

Not much time has passed since the assassination operation began.

At first, it worked. He chased the escaped firedragon, fought - and fell into trouble.

"Nh... Lia! McKinley!"

As he jumps up, Timis calls out the names of his friends and looks around.

A spear and shield on the ground. And - just nearby, Ryan fell down, and McKinley was lying down on his back near the bush where he was hiding.

"Lya... ah... good. I'm really glad you're okay...."

"... young lady... ma'am..."

You must have had a terrible bleed, Rhea. But the wound that should have ripped the flank is now blocked.

Tiger Beast is highly resilient and most wounds quickly close. Still, it was too early - but Timmy was relieved and tearful that Rhea was safe.

"... knights... shouldn't show tears. A samurai thing... always stays still..."

"Yes... I know, Lya. I'm sorry...."

Rhea smiles slightly to show that she's okay.

And Timis remembers the battle even more.

What happened to that firedragon? The answer was behind her.

Looking back, your heart is about to stop. However, when you understand the situation, a feeling of relief and incomprehension arises at the same time.

This is the continuation of Duke Solver's assassination plan.

If the Fire Dragon moves to the riverside, it can be trapped if it deals enough damage.

There is a trap set by the Forest Hunter on the riverside. Guiding a weak Firefly Dragon onto it triggers a trap named "Chain of Restraints" to catch it.

If you're going to crush them, you just need to stack more attacks there. If you attempt to capture them, the plan will be completed by pouring the remnants of the paralyzed sleeping ammunition prepared into the firedragon as appropriate. When a certain amount of paralytic sleep poison accumulates in the blood of a firefly dragon, the firefly needs a long sleep to purify itself.

(... the 'chain of restraint' is marked by a firedragon... and McKinley has paralyzed a sleeping bullet... no, no... that's not enough to explain.)

Yes, behind Timith's gaze was a sleeping firedragon bound by chains.

However, the shield that Timis picked up had no scratches or dents, even though it was about to be burst by a firedragon. And Timmy doesn't have a clue that he took the charge.

If McKinley has managed to capture the Fire Dragon, there is no explanation for his collapse. There was someone else here but ourselves. No, it can't be. Thoughts go around.

Deepening the confusion, Timis turned his gaze - he saw something.

"Lights... insects...?

It came out of Timith's armor when we started the assassination operation. Rhea said she lives in the woods.

"... no way..."

Timis puts his hand on his chest from above his armor. I want to see what magic letters are there - I want to know immediately. But I can't expose my skin outside, and I will give up now.

Written magic letters to help you crush Fire Dragons.

Suppose it was meant to save them when they were in trouble.

The "Forest Hunter" set a trap. Much more paralyzed sleep bullets were fired at by fire dragons than McKinley did. I also saved Timmy from the flamingo rush earlier. Everything that healed Rhea's wounds.

"... Duke Solver... is that you...?

When the lighting worm finally appears in Timmy's sight, it disappears like a phantom.

All that's left is the sound of the river and the voices of the forest animals.

Timis feels lost, but picks up the scales of a firefly dragon that was stripped off by Ryan's attack. And pray with your chest - even if it's too much for your immature self, I think this is an important gift.

And Timis remembered a statement in his notebook.

― ― Fire Dragon Crusade should be held in a party of four people at most. If you fight with more than five people, the Fire Dragon will only spit out the brace from the sky because it tries to eliminate the threat more safely. Up to four firedragons respond to ground warfare. It is not absolutely four, but if there are fewer than three, the fourth person should be added as an assistant. Since this is an empirical theory, it is necessary.

It is uncertain whether the "fourth person" was here.

Maybe I can't make sure of it.

But Timmy decided to believe it. There must have been the fourth phantom who saved us.

"... Dear Duke..."

It may not be him. But I can only think of him.

Similar to her yearning for her sister, some different emotions were scorching the young knight's chest.
