CH 22

It was an early sunny morning.

Far beyond the hunting area, near the meadow with the dotted trees.

"Tha... that's..."

The captain of the Elgandhi Kingdom's Reconnaissance Knights gasped at what he saw.

It was 100... no, it's a horde of more than 200 dragons.

He was surprised as it's the first time that dragons have ever formed such a large herd.

"Captain... what the heck is this?"

One of his three men that were hiding with him near the bushes and trees asked that question.

"I have no idea. I've heard that dragons are forming a lot of herds lately, but this..."

This is unusual as, no matter how you look at it, dragons will never follow another dragon who is on the same level as them unless they are a pair.

Another possibility is that...

"...Maybe an S-class dragon is nearby."

When the captain muttered those words, his subordinates were so surprised that it looked like they were gasping for breath.

It was then that the earth slightly shook.

When the knights looked in front of them they immediately knew the cause of the rumbling.

"Ca... captain!"

"That's..."

"Ah... I see..."

In the middle of the dragon herd, one dragon really stands out.

It was a dragon covered in blue scales. On the back of that dragon emerged countless icicles.

Its head, claws, and tail were also covered with ice, and it was even generating a white mist all over its body that it seemed that the dragon was emitting cold air.
