Chapter 227 – AERIAL ATTACK (1/2)

CHAPTER 227 – AERIAL ATTACK

1500 imperial soldiers are stationed in Troize, the nearest town to the Mercouri Village.

I came there with Hikari and my women, and also Rex and Soora.

But although I said that, we didn’t enter the town. We stopped for a while at a distance where we could see the whole town.

「It’s here?」

「Un, when I interrogated the humans that Hikari caught, they confessed that they came from here」

Olivia answered my question.

I got a bit interested in her “interrogation”.

「Since we’re already passing here, let’s capture it and make it our first base」

「Is Kakeru-san going? Or should I destroy the outer walls first with my Hundred Lightning Array?」

Io suggested.

Io who accompanied me during the wars in Siracuza and Comotoria used the same strategy many times.

She would cast a great magic spell to support the charging soldiers and disrupt the enemy soldiers’ tactics.

It was very effective, so Io suggests to do the same thing in many times.

「No, let’s take a different way this time. Tanya, and also this Tanya」

I called Tanya of this era who is standing a step behind Io, and the Tanya our era who stayed inside Eleanor.

And, Io.

I called the three of them.

「Let’s try to defeat as many of them using magic」

「I-I’ll do my best」

「Leave it to me〜!」

The two Tanyas had the same face, but their reactions and expressions were the opposite.

On the other hand, Io slightly tilted her head.

「Defeat as many as we can? Do we only need to move together with Kakeru-san?」

「No. Olivia」

「What?」

「You’re my ace up the sleeve」

When I said that, Olivia was a little surprised, and after that, her face flushed with red.

☆

Olivia returned to her dragon form. She flew to the sky with Io and the two Tanyas on her back, and went towards Troize.

Seeing them off were me, Hikari, andーー

「W-What was that?」

I heard Rex’s trembling voice from behind.

When I turned around, I saw Rex’s face with a pale expression and Soora who grabbed his body.

Although Rex looked quite scared, he still stepped forward to cover Soora.

「What what?」

「S-She, that person turned into a dragon, right?」

「You’re talking about Olivia? Yeah, that’s right. Have you heard of the name Olivia?」

「Olivia……dragon…… Don’t tell me, is it the Dragon King Olivia?」

「You know her?」

「O-chan’s famous〜!」

『After all, soldiers are being gathered from all over the empire to subjugate Dragon King Olivia. It’s not strange for them to know』

「I see」

「Why is the Dragon King……most of all, who in the world are you……?」

「Rather than that, have you made up your mind?」

「Eh?」

「About becoming a king」

「Are you, serious?」

Rex showed a different expression from fear.

It’s the same with Soora who is hiding behind him.

Although they looked daunted when I asked them “would you like to be a king?” when we were in Mercouri Village, but their reactions completely changed after seeing Olivia’s appearance.
