Author synopsis: New knowledge regarding dragons

..·:*¨¨*.·:*¨♡¨*:·. 24 .·:*¨♡¨*:·.*¨¨*:·..

Ten days after, we fought a large battle against Lord Kaller.

Not only did Lord Kaller have excellent archer towers, but he also had catapults.

As I stood on a war chariot at the back of the army, I watched ma.s.sive flaming stones being hurled one after another at my troops and Fruys. The dragon was still capable of dodging every volley the catapults launched despite his size, but my soldiers were not as lucky—people fell with each barrage of miniature comets. Terrible anxiety seized my heart as I watched.

Fruys suddenly gave a long roar before he rolled over in midair. Weaving through all the archer towers and catapults, he took on the brunt of attacks with his own body and charged onwards until all the enemy fortifications were soon covered in ice.

I saw Andy wave his arm high in the air, signaling to the troops to take advantage of this opportunity to launch a full-scale attack.

When he confronted the forces being directly led by Lord Kaller, Fruys shot out a blast of freezing air, causing the enemy troops to lose their momentum.

I could hear the surprise in Lord Kaller's voice as cried out from the other side of the field: ”It's a dragon that can use high level magic!”

Despite Fruys' a.s.sistance, we still spent an entire day before we subdued Lord Kaller.

Only through sheer willpower did our soldiers keep going despite their exhaustion reaching past their limits long ago.

At the very end though, our warriors returned victorious with Fruys proudly leading at the front like usual.

I rushed forward to hug his ma.s.sive neck and drew close to his ear to tell him with a slight smile, ”Fruu, you really are my hero.”

Fruys did not respond, and only turned his large head to the side.

I rubbed my cheeks against his neck.
