"Seven thousand years..."
Eric muttered to himself.
"Heh, with such a deep-seated hatred, even if you sever your father-son relationship with Caesar, I will not let you off easily."
Crane King snorted coldly, "I'll deal with you later."
After speaking, Crane King appeared in front of Eric in a flash.
He then chanted a spell and pointed his finger at Eric's forehead.
The next moment, Erik's delicate face contorted in pain, and a golden stream of light was slowly drawn from between her brows by the Crane King.
As the light was extracted, Erik's body suddenly swelled up, and scales shimmering with beautiful iridescent light appeared on her fair skin.
At the same time, a pointed horn emerged from each of her golden temples. The horns grew rapidly, resembling deer antlers but even more beautiful. Among all living creatures, only dragons possessed such horns.
Eric is a dragon!
Leon suddenly realized what was happening.
Then, a loud and majestic dragon roar suddenly reverberated, making Leon's brain spin.
It took Leon quite a while to recover.
Due to this sudden impact, the Crane King's extraction was interrupted, and the wisp of light that had been drawn from between Eric's brows quickly returned to her body.
That dragon roar just now didn't come from Eric.
Turning back following the overwhelming momentum, Leon saw a giant dragon whose body was even larger than the one in the book. Its lower body was submerged in the seawater, with only half of its body showing.
Putting aside the intimidating presence, the sheer size of this creature alone is enough to evoke the fear ingrained in the DNA of ancient beings from primitive societies.
Another... another King-level player?
“She is one of our dragons. I am taking her back to the Philipris Empire. Anyone who obstructs me will be an enemy of my dragons.”
The dragon vibrated the air, producing a sound like muffled thunder. He didn't speak Fester language, nor did he speak the same language as Eric, but rather his native dragon language.
However, it's not a big problem. Everyone present is either a high-ranking figure or a highly educated individual who graduated from the world's top university, Guberland University. They may not understand Gulong language very well, but they have no problem understanding Long language.
They came to rescue Eric. Eric really does have a dragon background, he's an ancient dragon from the era of Beryl!
Dragons possess long and immortal lifespans, which explains why Erik is still alive even at seven thousand years old.
At this moment, a warship appeared behind the dragon. The warship did not fly any flags, but the hard armor covering its entire body symbolized its advanced technology.
Ironclad warship.
This is equipment currently only available to the Fitcher Imperial Navy.
The people of Fitcher?
How could they appear at the same time as the dragons?
As the top human, Fitchester and the dragons have always been at odds, fighting at the slightest provocation.
Everyone froze.
As the ironclad ship drew closer, Leon quickly spotted the figures on the deck.
On the deck, several rows of demigod knights, clad in soft armor and longswords at their waists, stood in battle. Surrounded by these knights was a tall man with brilliant blond hair. Time had hardened his once handsome features, but this only gave him a more mature and charming appeal.
He had a neat and imposing mustache and a pair of deep, azure eyes that seemed to look at everyone with deep affection. If he were ten years younger, his looks would definitely be no less than Leon's. From the frivolous smile between his brows, one could probably tell that he was once a dashing playboy.
Yes, Prince Regent Naden was indeed a playboy in his youth, having countless affairs with women, and was praised by his drinking buddies as "the most affectionate man in Fchester".
Yet this very man, deeply devoted to his first love, remains unmarried and childless to this day.
Of course, whether he has any illegitimate children or not, no one can be sure. After all, he has sown seeds on a large scale. What if one of his female confidantes suddenly decides to secretly give birth to a child and raise it, eventually stunning everyone!
Why is the Regent here?
Harry was stunned.
The Crane King, on the other hand, seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, his attention completely focused on the man fighting on the deck, having long since forgotten about Leon and Eric.
Leon shared Harry's doubts, but he couldn't worry about that now. The enemy was too strong, and saving his life was the most important thing. If he fell into the hands of the orcs, he would be killed, if not killed.
"Uncle, save me!"
Leon shouted at the top of his lungs towards the man on the ironclad ship.
"Gangares, that spirited young man on the island, he looks so familiar, could he be my nephew?"
Naden glanced at Leon on the island; he looked a lot like him, but he wasn't quite sure. Mainly, he couldn't understand why Leon would end up in a place like this.
In addition, Naden's strength is actually only that of a Diamond-level Knight.
“Your Majesty, it is indeed Leon, and he is still calling out to you.”
Gangsales replied that he was a tall, burly man with long, light brown hair and a wild wolf tail tied behind his neck; he looked extremely fierce and irritable.
Unlike the knights behind him, although he wore knightly armor and was dressed as a knight, he was not actually a knight. His profession was a sailor, even stronger than the seaweed man, a king-level sailor.
If he were to enter the world of the book, his furious strike could instantly turn the dragon into mincemeat, eliminating the need for Leon and the others to remain locked in a stalemate for so long.
"Really? What is he shouting?"
The regent frowned.
He said, "Uncle, please save me."
"Gangzarese answered."
"..."
The diagnosis is complete; he's Naden's good-for-nothing nephew.
Chapter Twenty-Three: Fortune Turns Around
The massive ironclad warship was anchored at the seaside.
Thousands of soldiers landed on the island, and various magic cannons were quickly set up and aimed in unison at the Leaning Tower.
Surrounded by Gonzalez and five Obsidian-level demigod knights, the Regent King used a spirit jump to directly arrive at the battlefield from the deck.
"A remnant of the orcs, a wandering swindler, dare to lay a hand on the empire's prince? Who gave you the guts!"
Naden stood atop a leaning tower, speaking in a cold voice. He was dressed in Western military uniform, his red general's cloak billowing in the air currents.
It has to be the Imperial Uncle.
Leon was filled with emotion.
At this moment, the two Obsidian Knights had already broken free of the spiritual restriction imposed by the Crane King, and Leon had successfully regained his freedom.
On the other side, the original dragon has now transformed into human form and appeared at the top of the leaning tower next to the Regent.
This was also a burly man with wheat-colored skin, long seaweed-colored hair, dragon scales on his body, two symmetrically distributed horns on his head, and deep, majestic golden eyes—eyes unique to dragons, born with divine power and extremely strong spirituality.
"Uncle Emperor."
Leon flipped and leaped up the Leaning Tower, quickly hiding behind the Regent.
In that case, if Crane King still wants to do something to me, with Naden protecting me, Naden will be the one to get to me first!
"Why are you here?"
Nadeen looked at Leon with a scrutinizing gaze.
"I joined an adventure team looking for some thrills, but we ran into a group of pirates and ended up being kidnapped here."
Leon quickly offered a reasonable explanation.
"Uncle, what about you? Why are you here, and why are you with the dragons?"
In order to prevent Naiden from having a chance to continue questioning him, Leon quickly threw out a question that was just as troublesome for Naiden before he could speak.
"I'm here, of course, to track down the remnants of the orcs."
Naden spoke with righteous indignation.
This reason truly leaves Leon with no options at the moment.
"Naiden, you're colluding with the dragons, are you plotting a rebellion?"
Crane King didn't care about all that; he just wanted to solidify the accusation that Naden was colluding with the dragons.
Colluding with the dragons makes one an enemy of all creatures on the continent.
Dragons are extremely cold-blooded and brutal creatures, and their individual strength is extremely powerful. Long ago, the dragon race ruled the entire continent. At that time, humans, orcs, demons, vampires, and elves all lived in the shadow of the dragon race's dominance.
Finally, all races joined forces to seal off the Dragon God, thus completely driving the dragon race off the continent.
Therefore, colluding with the dragons is not only something that Fitchster forbids, but also makes one a traitor and collaborator to all living beings on the continent.
"You're spouting nonsense."
Naden chuckled.
"Really? Then how come you appeared at the same time as the dragons?"
The Crane King questioned.
"Why should I, Naden, need to explain my actions to others? Do you think you have the right to question me?"
Naden raised an eyebrow and said angrily.
"Crane King, it is said that you are a half-step angel?"
奈登身边的刚萨雷斯兴奋的舔了舔他那干涩的唇，“帝国三英雄我都揍过，哈哈哈哈，来吧，让我见识见识一下兽人的半步天使有多强！”
After saying that, Gangsales stopped talking and decisively took action.
He glared angrily at the Crane King, and suddenly dark clouds rolled in the sky, followed by a blinding bolt of lightning that crashed down on the Crane King.
Perhaps the Crane King was prepared, for he did not dodge. The lightning struck him directly, and in the powerful current, his body vanished in an instant.
After the lightning disappeared, a yellow, burnt crane feather gently drifted down from the spot where it had struck, while the Crane King himself appeared in another location.
Feather substitute.
This can protect the Crane King from all kinds of damage.
The hunter class is the most effective counter to this tactic. One of the hunter's skills is called "Lock-on". Once locked on, unless there are special means, the chance of being hit by an attack is 100%.
After Gareth made his move, the dragon that had transformed into a human also moved, charging towards Harry. Although Harry had anticipated the danger, the opponent was too strong, and he was still hit.
The brute force struck Harry's chest, denting it and leaving a dent. When he fell to the ground, his body was deformed.
"Cough cough."
Harry painfully propped himself up, his palm touching his chest, which emitted a faint glow. He then guided this glow to his left arm, and the wound on his chest disappeared instantly. However, his arm, which had been intact at first, now hung limply as if the bones were broken.
Harry endured the pain, twisted his arm hard, and with a crack, his face turned pale. He gritted his teeth, and then his arm returned to normal and he could move it again.
A dislocated sternum, transferred to the arm, becomes a minor injury that heals quickly. This is a skill of the diviner, allowing them to transfer physical damage.
At that moment, the dragon charged at Harry again.
Harry was no match for the dragon. He entered the spirit world and quickly made a spatial jump to create distance between himself and the dragon. Then, a paper figure with incantations appeared in his hand.
Harry gave the paper figure a gentle shake, and it spontaneously combusted without fire, quickly turning to ashes in the wind.
Then, a ghostly figure with empty eyes appeared in front of Harry.
This is Wolong, Avery, who is said to be almost at the level of an angel and is currently the most powerful diviner in the world.
Avery's empty eyes suddenly gained a sharp edge upon seeing the dragon.
He reached out and gently pinched the dragon, as if grasping something in the void. Then the dragon's body froze, and it fell back to the ground in mid-air. Its gaze became dull, as if it had lost focus.
At this moment, an Obsidian-level knight beside Naden quickly stepped forward and kicked the dragon hard. The dragon's unfocused eyes regained their clarity, and it pushed out a palm towards the phantom of Avery.
Amidst the rumbling shockwaves, Aifuli's phantom image disintegrated in an instant.
The dragon wanted to beat Harry up, but just as the phantom of Avery controlled the dragon, he had already entered the spirit world and quickly disappeared, betraying his teammate with decisiveness.
On the other side, Crane King and Gangsales were locked in a fierce battle. Gangsales fought like a madman who had lost himself in the fight. Although his level was lower than Crane King's, he seemed to be on par with him.
Crane King also wanted to control Gangsales and find an opportunity to escape, but unfortunately, the profession of "sailor" had another name in ancient times, which was "mob". The rage of the mob was crude and a relentless madness.
A mob in a state of rage is in a special state of invincibility, and is almost completely immune to other control methods such as poison.
