Chapter 57 - Off to Catch It

Ian was in a hurry.

He had no choice but to do so.

‘A dragon attack on Helgaia. What the hell happened?’

Obviously, it didn’t happen in the past life he knew.

In addition, it was not a dragon of the Lesser Dragon class.

“Nathan. Are you really sure it’s an Earth Dragon?”

“Yes. According to the information I received from the deputy lord, a fire-breathing dragon is attacking. At least, it is certain to be above the Earth Dragon class.”

A Lesser Dragon was just a flying creature like a wyvern. Of course, even if the Lesser Dragon was called the Loser of the Blue Sky, it was still a dragon.

The fire-breathing Earth Dragon, however, was on a whole nother level.

Their breath had a flame so strong it could turn people into cinders at once.

Even professional dragon hunters avoided it.

‘But I still have to go.’

It was a natural course for Ian, who wanted to increase his power in the Helgaia territory for the sake of the succession war. Besides, he needed it for the supply and demand of dragon meat to entertain the envoy.

It had to be caught.

Additionally, he had a reason to be next to the dragon when it was captured.

Seeing Ian’s reaction, Nathan asked worriedly.

“But are you sure you are fine with going there yourself? We’d rather go alone.”

“No, it’s my land.”

In the first place, the problem wouldn’t be solved by sending only the knights if it really was an Earth Dragon.

That was why Ian looked at Nathan with a frown.

“Can’t we go a little faster?”

“Well, we could go first, but we have a lot of luggage, Your Highness.”

Nathan was right. 

The number of wagons they mobilized was five. 

That was not all. 

Aside from Garcia’s centuria and the centurion, they were also accompanied by three hundred soldiers who had been wagered by the nobles in the capital.

At least three knights who followed Ian.

It was at a level where Ian felt a sense of disparity from the time he first moved from being a serf.

Nevertheless, Nathan seemed uneasy. 

Of course, Galon didn’t stop the prince from going to Helgaia.

“Will this do? You’ll need more people to catch a dragon.”
