Chapter 37: Scars

The straps on her legs were all tied at her request. After all, no one had any experience riding a dragon. What would happen after getting on it was all up to their imagination. Christina had ridden one before, and she knew that the key was to worry about whether or not they had something.

Just don't fall off. Reins? Ha! You don't need to tell the dragon what to do, the dragon is much smarter than you.

She thought and said this, but the knights of Chu Salen, including King Baldwin, just stared at her and the dragon behind them with wide eyes, obviously unable to understand what the elf meant.

One minute, His Majesty the King was able to converse normally with Gurnis in human form, acting like a model gentleman. The next minute, Gurness appeared in dragon form, and the group immediately grimaced, thinking that Gurness was someone similar to

Livestock treatment of cattle and sheep.

The difference between humans and dragons is so obvious that it is hard for people to believe that dragons, which are basically large lizards, have the same intelligence as humans. Chu Salen was founded by expeditionary knights from various countries, including many from the empire. These people

Even if I have never fought against a giant dragon, my impression of dragons is still limited to the word monster, and it is difficult to change.

Even if Guinness and Christina bear the same or even higher risks, few people are willing to pay tribute to the dragon. Regardless of people's negative views on dragons, it is impossible for normal people to be courteous to a mount. What does the horse have to do with the war?

Just find the right target and hit it!

Now, Genis is indeed charging towards the target, and the silver dragon dives into the black clouds. The surrounding area is still pitch black, and Christina can't see anything. The lightning that occasionally grazed the dragon's body blinded her, making her even more helpless.

The fear of seeing things. Then, Gurnis began to dive straight down. Even with three belts tied, Christina still felt a terrible gap between her thighs and buttocks and the seat. She hugged the spear tightly with both hands and was

The oncoming wind blew her eyes hard, which was good, as it saved her a lot of torture. Something hit her from behind, and the elf heard the female dwarf shout something.

"Don't worry!" Christina also had to scream, which was quite amazing. The free fall of the dragon from a high altitude made her feel her heart rising straight up her throat. Breakfast... Fortunately, she didn't eat it because of the last experience.

All of a sudden, drool came out of the corners of his mouth uncontrollably.

The wind was so strong that it felt like someone was pushing her face hard with hands. Despite this, the elf still forced her eyes open to confirm whether Aura had fallen.

It was the female dwarf's repeating crossbow. It fell into Gurnis's neck and rolled in the thick spines. It would have been better if it wasn't a dwarf. What effect could a crossbow that couldn't even penetrate armor have on a giant? Elf

I doubt it. During the dragon war, it took a horse-drawn ballistae to penetrate the dragon's body without causing death.

It was considerate to open her eyes to confirm the safety of her companions, but she regretted it because of what she saw. Antioch, which was trampled into rubble, was at first the size of a palm, like a piece of mud on the seaside. Gurnis must have used her speed to the limit.

To the extreme, after the elf figured out that the place she was looking at was Antioch, the entire city had already burst into view. The completely destroyed port city was covered with ruins, and... that giant. At first glance, it seemed like the tallest among the many ruins.

That one, as the height decreases, the details become more and more obvious. The head, neck, shoulders, arms, body and legs are all terrifyingly huge.

Just like her sudden descent, Gurnis suddenly raised her head again, and climbed quickly after the dive. Christina wanted to ask the dragon what she was doing, but she bit her tongue and choked on her own blood. This ascent did not last long.

Otherwise, Christina would probably suffocate. When the strenuous movement stopped, it was not Christina but Aura who asked the question. The former was coughing heavily and planned to cough out her lungs.

"Why don't you go down?" The elf admired the calmness in the female dwarf's voice. She didn't bother to turn her head to look at Aura, and could only assume that her companion's expression and voice were the same.

Perhaps because she didn't hear what the dwarf said, Genis didn't answer. She stayed above the giant and circled around the ruins of the city. Christina found that Genis flapped her wings very frequently, which was completely different from that on the clouds.

Even though she wasn't a dragon and didn't know how to fly, the elf could tell that Gurness was deliberately keeping a distance rather than getting closer.

The female dwarf stared and wanted to shout again, but the elf gestured to her to be quiet. Not only people, but also their mounts are inevitably nervous before a battle. Good knights know how to comfort horses, and Christina is already familiar with this process.

"Listen to me, Guinness." Christina said calmly, because talking to the dragon by roaring seemed too forced.

You can't force a man or a dragon to go on a suicide mission, you have to do it willingly, like me...

"Think about it, Genis, you have also been here in Antioch. How many people were there at that time?"

The elf asked the first question. She believed that the dragon rescued from the Black Mountain by her friends was kind enough to feel sad for the death of innocent people. Otherwise, why would Gurnis have walked so far with him?

The two sides should part ways at the foot of Black Mountain.

The silver dragon has the concept of repaying kindness in his mind, and the elf intends to activate it.

Genis still didn't respond, but the flapping of her wings stopped several times, so that the height decreased. The question of how many living people there had been in Antioch also caused a few familiar faces to squeeze into the elf's mind, and she

She simply said it because she felt that Yinlong must care about someone among them.

"Ba...Knight Balian...do you remember him?" Christina was not very used to this kind of deliberate probing, but she had to do it.

If Yinlong retreats in the face of battle, Chu Saleng will be finished, and more people will die. In comparison, what if she goes too far?

Besides, I didn't lie, right? That knight likes you, and you probably like him too, otherwise why would you hesitate when asked by the female mercenary?

The wings were completely motionless, and it was only thanks to the strong wind blowing from the sea that the two of them did not fall.

Having been a widow, she knew all too well the feeling of loss when a loved one was taken away, and the anger that followed. Christina suddenly felt ashamed and despicable for rubbing salt into other people's wounds.

"I remember, how could I forget?"

The silver dragon didn't look back, so the elf couldn't see whether there was sadness similar to that of a human on the lizard's face, but it was enough to hear the voice. The silver dragon's graceful and melodious voice became extremely low, even depressed.

"I won't forget..."

Gurness fell into talking to herself. For a while, the dragon's body was completely still, as if it had forgotten that it was in the sky. Her reaction was so big that the elf regretted stimulating her.

"...Sit tight."

The dragon's head suddenly downwards, and the silver dragon and her companions rushed towards the giant to complete her revenge. The giant had already set his sights on the silver dragon hovering above his head. He squatted down and fished on the ground with his big hands, grabbing a large pile of

Crushed stones.
