She was overjoyed. With a more detailed perception, she discovered that the figures running ahead all had tails.
Having discovered this, Fria was now completely certain that Ovelle and the others had arrived.
Strangely enough, among so many similar figures, she quickly sensed which human was him...
That shameless guy, I thought he wasn't coming.
They certainly wouldn't let this opportunity slip by...
For some reason, Fria felt a little disappointed, but she didn't show it.
She quietly walked behind her, intending to reunite with her companions first...
Two kilometers is not a long distance, and when they were running towards each other, they collided in just a short while.
"Fei, Fei Liya, it's Fei Liya."
By the dim moonlight, Lucia recognized the figure not far away as Phyllia at a glance.
"I'm so glad you're okay, I was so worried all day!"
After a day of tension, Lucia finally found an outlet. She couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself into Fria's arms, crying out with a mixture of grievance and joy.
The injustice was that on this day, none of the men came to rescue their companions.
The joy comes from seeing my partner appear before me unharmed.
This was undoubtedly the greatest joy for her.
“Fria.”
O'Ville didn't say much, she just gently called her companion's name.
“Fria.”
Her expression held joy, but also concealed an indescribable emotion.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything dangerous."
Fria was telling the truth. She was less reckless and more rational than before. She was no longer just full of enthusiasm and would make the best response based on the situation.
Of course, she wouldn't admit that she learned this from the man in front of her...
"Tell me about the situation here so I can devise a battle plan."
There was no reminiscing or pleasantries; Ron just wanted to know what the fire dragon girl in front of him had been up to all this time.
Based on her actions, a battle plan began to be formulated.
Of course, the reason he wasn't surprised and his emotions didn't fluctuate much was quite simple: he already knew that the other person couldn't possibly be in any danger.
"it is good."
Just as she was basking in the joy of reuniting with her friends, she was unexpectedly interrupted by a man's words.
Fria's expression instantly turned cold, her crimson vertical pupils fixed on the man before her, seemingly devoid of any emotion.
"While the enemy was away from their territory, I killed ten holy knights and more than twenty ordinary knights, and then I hid here to wait for my chance."
She spoke like an emotionless machine, coldly recounting everything that had happened.
After killing all those knights, what Fria most hoped for was to receive praise from the man in front of her.
But as the long wait continued, this expectation gradually faded until the man's first words upon meeting him were about the situation, completely extinguishing any remaining hope.
She no longer expected anything; her heart was as hard as her crimson scales.
"Okay, about this..."
Ron was about to say that he had done a good job when he was interrupted by the sound of drums coming from afar.
dong dong dong-
The piercing sound of drums echoed back and forth in the valley.
"Enemy activity detected in the northern mountains and forests; a crimson figure has been spotted."
The sentry only saw a crimson figure in the moonlight from afar; as for the others, they were too far away and their clothing was inconspicuous to see clearly.
The knights were already on guard against the crimson figure.
Because everyone knows that she was the one who attacked the territory and killed the scout knight before.
"Damn it, we've been found out."
The echoes in the valley could carry the sound very far; even at a distance of two or three kilometers, everyone could vaguely hear the warning sound.
Fiona, who had come to fight alongside them, immediately looked rather grim.
Unexpectedly, the situation on the battlefield changed so quickly. They were just overjoyed to have found Fria, but in an instant, they were discovered by the enemy, causing the night raid to fail completely.
"Everyone, take cover immediately."
Having spotted Fria, Ron, taking this into consideration, made a decisive move.
Upon hearing this, the knights retreated and hid in the bushes nearby.
"We've been exposed, but thankfully it's dark, and the enemy has only noticed the more conspicuous Fria."
Without offering any further explanation, Ron immediately issued the order:
"In that case, Fria, go and feign an attack on the territory, then lure the enemy away and keep fleeing north."
At this point, he solemnly instructed:
"Remember not to linger in battle. Your mission is to draw the enemy away so that we can attack our territory. Once we've dealt with the enemy here, we'll come to your aid."
In just a few seconds, Ron devised a perfect plan based on the situation on the spot.
First, the enemy only discovered Fria and that she had attacked the territory during the day. It would be reasonable for them to launch a night raid at this time, and the enemy would not suspect anything.
Secondly, Wilson Gray, who suffered a great loss at the hands of Philia during the day, will definitely not let this opportunity pass when he sees her attacking his territory again. He will capture her even if he doesn't kill her, and take revenge.
Third, Fria possesses a near-death bloodline, so even if something unexpected happens after she distracts the enemy, she will not be in any danger.
Therefore, this is the best decision at present.
If we don't let Fria distract the enemy, then facing them head-on will likely result in many deaths and injuries this time.
This goes against the original intention of a night raid.
"My lord, how can you send Philia on such a dangerous mission?"
Lucia felt that her companions had just been safe, so how could she let them fall into another trap?
"If the dragon really has to go, then let me lure it away. I can run very fast."
Although she is a very timid dragon, in times like these, she thinks of standing up and sharing the risks with her companions.
"It's okay, I'll go!!!"
Fria gritted her teeth, her crimson vertical pupils shining brightly in the night, like the red moon.
His expression seemed devoid of any emotion, only cold indifference remained.
"Okay, let's move south and wait for the right opportunity."
The battlefield is ever-changing. Without further explanation, Ron grabbed Lucia and O'Ville and headed south into the mountains.
"Fria, be careful."
O'Ville turned her head and looked at the lonely figure under the moonlight. Her heart ached, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Philia is really suffering. She just escaped danger, and now she has to carry out such a dangerous mission again.
This man only did this because he saw us as tools...
This made O'Ville wonder if the man's usual gentleness was all a facade, and that he had revealed his true colors today.
But the tenderness of their intimate moments together was also so passionate.
She couldn't tell whether those feelings were real or fake!
“Fria...Fria....”
Tears welled up in Lucia's eyes instantly; she wanted to stand by her comrades and fight alongside them.
She didn't want Philia to face all of this alone anymore.
“I said I would take you home, there’s absolutely no way anything could happen.”
Fria didn't dare turn around; she was afraid to see her companion's anxious face, and even more afraid to see the man's cold gaze.
She had previously thought the man was heartless, but now she realized that he had no feelings for her whatsoever.
It's as if all the sparring, the time we spent together, the words spoken while stroking his tail, and the beautiful moments under the moonlight were all just a lie to the dragon!
Thinking of this, Fria felt a pang of pain in her heart.
The psychological gap between giving and receiving no reward, doing so much and not even getting a word of concern, is unbearable for anyone.
Even the future Red Dragon Queen will be affected by this disparity.
As expected, I still really hate humans!
I really want to rip his heart out and see what it's like!
Under the moonlight, Fria raised her dragon claw, licked her lips, and her eyes revealed a hint of madness, making the dragon appear more sinister.
