"Magic Dragon...is it a mount?"
When Maximilian heard these last words from Kuni, he was stunned. He looked at the old man in front of him, his face filled with confusion and disbelief.
Magic Dragon?
Mount?
The two simply did not match!
Although Maximilian was just a minor City Lord, he had heard how terrifying the Magic Dragons were. Even among the high-level demons, the Magic Dragons were extremely formidable, top-tier creatures. How could such fearsome beasts possibly serve as mounts?
It seemed that unofficial histories were indeed just that—historical accounts that could sometimes barely distinguish themselves from rumors or legends, not to be taken seriously.
Hence, Maximilian nodded and did not continue to inquire about this issue, letting Kuni leave.
However, after Kuni had left, he furrowed his brows and thought long and hard because, although he could disbelieve the part about the Magic Dragon being a mount, the existence of the Magic Dragon itself was very noteworthy.
If there indeed was a Magic Dragon in Demon Extinguish City, even if there were only one, he definitely would not allow his Spring Rain City to remain here; it was too dangerous.
But this was not a decision he could make on his own, as they had come here together with the other five Sky Cities. Even if Maximilian wanted to leave, he had to inform the other City Lords, and this matter indeed deserved discussion among all of them.
Therefore, soon after, he quickly left his study and headed straight for the communication room to contact the other five City Lords.
"Everyone, I just heard a rumor that there might be a Magic Dragon in Demon Extinguish City."
Standing in the communication room, in front of Maximilian were four Magic Energy Images, representing the other four City Lords hiding near Demon Extinguish City.
"What?"
"Really?"
When Maximilian had gathered all the other City Lords and straightforwardly communicated everything, it immediately made everyone frown.
"Maximilian, who did you hear this rumor from?"
After a brief shock, one of the Magic Energy Images asked. This person was Matthias, the City Lord of Spring Rain City, who had also organized the group of five cities. Discover more content at Freewebnovel
Matthias’s Magic Energy Image gazed at Maximilian while asking, his tone filled with skepticism.
"I found it in historical materials. Although it may not be reliable, I think we must stay alert as long as there’s a slight chance; we are not equipped to deal with a Magic Dragon."
"I think you are being too worried… What’s happening!"
Matthias could understand Maximilian’s concerns, but just as he was about to reassure him, suddenly an incident occurred!
The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.
"Matthias, what’s wrong!?"
In everyone’s view, just as Matthias started to speak, he suddenly turned his head, and before others could react, his image disappeared…
"What’s going on?"
"Matthias what…"
Just when everyone was confused, suddenly another City Lord’s Magic Energy Image disappeared!
Then the third and fourth City Lords’ images disappeared in rapid succession; in the blink of an eye, Maximilian’s view became completely empty, devoid of anyone.
An emergency had occurred!
Although he did not know what had happened, Maximilian immediately realized something was wrong, and he rushed out immediately.
"Someone!"
"My lord!"
Having just burst out of the communications room, Maximilian was about to call someone to check the situation when a guard preemptively ran up to him. "My lord! It’s... it’s terrible! There are Magic Dragons, Magic Dragons are coming!"
"What?!"
Hearing the guard’s frantic words, Maximilian froze on the spot. Immediately after, he rushed back to his room, put on his Void Magic Armor, and flew straight out of the City Lord’s Mansion.
However, as he flew out of the City Lord’s Mansion and before he could even reach the Skyport to check the situation, he saw a dark cloud drifting overhead.
No, not a dark cloud, but a group of Magic Dragons with their wings spread, circling over Sky City!
It really... was Magic Dragons!
Looking up as the Magic Dragons flew overhead, Maximilian was dumbstruck. As a mere lord of a small town, he had never witnessed such legendary creatures firsthand. But today, not only did he see one, but he saw a whole swarm!
At that moment, swirling above Sky City was not just one Magic Dragon, but a dark, dense group of them!
Ten?
Twenty?
Or thirty?
The number of Magic Dragons was something Maximilian couldn’t begin to count, because there were too many!
It’s over... completely over...
Realizing so many Magic Dragons were appearing simultaneously, Maximilian was dumbstruck, standing in his armor and staring blankly at the sky as the Magic Dragons continued to circle around Sky City, his expression shifting and quickly turning to despair.
Spring Rain City was just a small Sky City, the most ordinary of small Sky Cities at that. Its fleet mainly consisted of reconnaissance ships, where even an escort ship could be considered a main battle warship, or even serve as the flagship.
With such combat power, facing even one Magic Dragon was already too much, let alone dealing with a group of them. In fact, the number of Magic Dragons currently surrounding the city was almost greater than the number of ships in Spring Rain City’s fleet.
"Why is this happening..."
"Why..."
Gazing at the sky, Maximilian felt as if he had been severely impacted, muttering dumbfoundedly. He had never imagined that such an ordinary man as himself would experience such an extraordinary event—an event that was perhaps rare even in a century.
Unfortunately, in Maximilian’s view, what was considered a once-in-a-century event had just occurred a year ago.
While Wilton was investigating the fall of Tulip City, he had encountered such a scene!
However, what Maximilian saw next could indeed be considered rare, not once in a century perhaps, but certainly unseen by most for decades.
Because shortly thereafter, as he was still gazing blankly at the sky, he suddenly saw a Magic Dragon of immense size fly over his head.
This Magic Dragon was different from all the other Magic Dragons, for it was much larger. An ordinary Magic Dragon was usually around three hundred meters in length and could be considered one of the largest monsters in the sky, but this Magic Dragon was at least twice the size of typical ones!
That wasn’t the crucial part, though. As this immense Magic Dragon flew past, Maximilian suddenly noticed something... there seemed to be a person standing on top of the Magic Dragon’s head!
A person, standing atop the head of a Magic Dragon...
Was he seeing things?
Watching the giant Magic Dragon’s retreating form, Maximilian suddenly wondered if he was seeing things. But just as he started to think this, as if by some premonition from the depths of fate, the huge Magic Dragon suddenly turned around and flew back. This time, Maximilian could clearly see that there was indeed a person standing on the head of the Magic Dragon!
Unfortunately, by the time he saw everything clearly, the immense Magic Dragon had already flown above his head and then dived down!
