Chapter 487: Not Giving an Inch
As Carlos's huge body slowly rose into the air, Ronin stood on the dragon's back, staring at the gradually shrinking West Wind Hill camp below, and an indescribable anger surged in his heart.
He understood Redal's character. If he had a choice, the latter would definitely avoid his sharp edges and would not have a direct conflict with Garrett and others.
In the current situation, although Denny said that Redal had violated some military order, in Ronin's opinion, it was most likely Garrett who found a random reason to deliberately make things difficult and forced Redal to resist.
Fortunately, Redal was strong enough and did not suffer any loss.
During the flight, Luo Ning closed his eyes and meditated, and countermeasures quickly flashed through his mind.
He knew very well that as a lord, safeguarding the rights and dignity of his subordinates was also safeguarding his own dignity.
If he doesn't act strong enough, it will only make others think that his subordinates are easy to bully, and then it will be difficult for Ruidal and others to start their work.
But Luo Ning also knew that it was definitely not the best idea to have a real battle with Garrett.
He needed a solution that could both solve the problem and allow Garrett to restrain himself.
Soon, the outline of Red Pine Fort gradually became clear.
Carlos's huge body hovered over the castle, and the deep roar of the dragon caused an uproar below. The horses, livestock and even soldiers were all frightened.
Looking at the behemoth-like beast in the sky, their throats tightened, sweat dripped from their foreheads, and their legs trembled.
"The Marquis is here!"
Redal stood up from the fortress hall and walked out quickly.
Gushan followed closely and saw the huge thing in the sky at a glance.
"I heard that the wingspan of the Marquis' dragon is one hundred and twenty meters, but today it looks like it's more than that?"
His feelings were not wrong.
In the past half year, Luo Ning fed Carlos 30,000 energy essences, which greatly improved the latter's strength, and the dragon's body also grew in size.
The current body length of Carlos is sixty-five meters, with a wingspan of nearly one hundred and sixty meters.
While Redal and Gushan stared at the giant dragon, Garret and his subordinates also walked out of the room. They were equally nervous when facing the giant dragon.
"It's getting bigger again!"
Garrett looked embarrassed. Although he didn't think what Ronin would do to him, this suffocating feeling of being unable to control the situation made him very uncomfortable.
"Yuge, is there any way we can deal with this dragon?"
Silver Moon Knight Yug looked embarrassed, "With all due respect, Your Highness, we have had experience in aerial combat for more than two hundred years since the kingdom was established, but we have no record of fighting against legendary creatures like dragons. "
He looked up at the pair of sky-covering giant wings, "Generally speaking, the wings of flying monsters are relatively fragile, and the same may be true of giant dragons. If we can use sharp spears to pierce its wings, it will be unable to fly freely. When it falls on the ground, it will be easy to solve.”
Garrett shook his head, "The machine that launches the spear has limited power. Once the dragon increases its height, the spear will not pose much of a threat."
"We, the Silver Moon Knights, can only step up into the air and throw the spear ourselves!"
While the two were talking, Carlos in the air suddenly raised his head and screamed.
"Ouch!"
Along with this sound that shook the world, a strong flame spurted out from Carlos' bloody mouth and filled the entire night sky.
At this moment, night suddenly turned into day, and the entire sky was illuminated by firelight, just like burning clouds at sunset. It was so spectacular!
Garret's expression changed drastically. This elemental fluctuation was too strong. If the giant dragon did not spit upwards to the sky, but sprayed towards the Red Pine Castle, this place would definitely turn into a hell on earth, with countless casualties!
"Luo Ning...are you threatening me?"
Garrett understood in his heart, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so blatant.
Ronin stood on Carlos's back, overlooking the red pine castle below, but his heart was calm.
What he did was a threat and a warning, asking Garrett to put aside his little thoughts.
"Go down."
Ronin patted Carlos's neck gently, and the dragon immediately folded its wings and quickly landed in the huge open space in the castle, raising a cloud of dust.
"Sir, you are here!"
Redal stepped forward and said, "Sorry for causing trouble for you."
"This matter is not your fault."
Luo Ning looked at Ruidal and felt relieved when he saw that the latter was not hurt.
"Tell me, what exactly is going on?"
Redal told how he came to Red Pine Castle.
In fact, the whole thing was not that complicated. The conversation between Redal and Garrett was less than ten sentences.
Luo Ning sneered, "Viscount Denny, please go ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come out. If he continues to waste our time like he did during the day, I won't wait for him for several hours like Ruidal."
Viscount Denney smiled awkwardly, and then ran to inform.
Gu Shan walked forward with a smile, "Marquis Luoning, welcome to Red Pine Castle! Only when I saw it with my own eyes did I know that you are braver and more powerful than the legend!"
Facing Gushan, Luo Ning remained polite. After all, in the previous conflict, the other party did not blindly stand on the side of His Highness the Crown Prince.
There are not many people who can do this. The deputy commander in front of him is obviously not afraid of offending Garrett.
The two of them walked into the fortress hall while exchanging polite greetings.
This time, Garrett came quickly. Almost three people sat down before he arrived on the back.
"Luo Ning, you are so majestic?"
Garret's tone was sinister, "You just let the dragon come so briefly. Did you want to cause panic in Red Pine Castle, or were you trying to demonstrate to me?"
Luo Ning did not get up, but sat on the bench and said with a smile: "Haha, compared to you, my prestige is nothing? After all, I don't dare to let a Knight of the Sun waste most of my time waiting."
Garrett was silent for a moment. Unexpectedly, Ronin didn't even show respect in front of him, and didn't even stand up.
He snorted and walked to the opposite side to sit down.
"Luo Ning, your knights not only disobeyed my orders, but also injured me and my men. How should we resolve this matter?"
"Asking someone to wait in the lobby, does this count as a military order?"
Luo Ning shook his head, "Redal is one of the few Sun Knights in the kingdom. Even if he follows me, I will treat him with courtesy. Although I don't know and I don't want to know why you are targeting him, but you want me to Take a step back on this matter.”
He paused, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and slowly uttered three words: "No, it can, it can!"
Ruidal originally agreed with Gushan's method of operation and found an opportunity to apologize and settle the matter.
He didn't expect that Luo Ning would refuse to give in when he first came up.
Under such circumstances, it would be inappropriate for Redal to insist on apologizing.
Knights still have to act in concert with their lords.
Garret narrowed his eyes and asked in a suppressed voice: "Ronin, what is your attitude? Do you want to betray the kingdom?"
"If I remember correctly, this is the second time you've said that."
Luo Ning stopped smiling: "Although you are the crown prince, you are only the crown prince. At least for now, the only person who can represent the will of the Kingdom of Alduin is your father, His Majesty Bruno."
"In addition, I need to remind you that any noble has the right to speak out for being unfairly treated. This is the right given to nobles by the laws of the kingdom!"
Garret's face was so gloomy that it seemed like it could drip water. He didn't expect Ronin to be so tough, and even directly cited the laws of the kingdom to refute him.
"Ronin, do you think you can compete with me if you have a giant dragon?" Garrett's voice was low and dangerous, and his eyes flashed with unquestionable authority and anger.
Luo Ning smiled slightly, and there was both confidence and a bit of ridicule in that smile: "The dragon is just one of my partners, but it is not my only support."
He looked directly into Garrett's dangerous eyes without giving in at all: "I, Ronin, believe in a rule, I will not offend others unless they offend me."
"If you think I am provoking you in today's incident, I can tell you clearly that I, Luo Ning, never engage in unnecessary arguments, but I will not let others bully me!"
The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat solidified.
Seeing that the conversation had reached a deadlock, Gushan laughed and said, "I don't think you two should continue to lose your temper on this matter."
"Today's matter is just a misunderstanding. Although the process is not very friendly, at least one thing is good. We have one more Knight of the Sun."
He started to make peace in the middle, "I think His Highness can apply to His Majesty the King for war. I believe that with Redal joining, we will be able to wash away the shame of more than thirty years ago and take over the Misty City in one fell swoop!"
Garrett lowered his head and remained silent, no one could see his expression clearly.
Luo Ning gave Gushan face, "As for military actions, as long as they are not deliberately targeted, I will let Redal respond fully. This is my responsibility as His Majesty's vassal."
Gushan smiled and nodded, "Your Highness, you are the commander-in-chief of the defense line. You still need to decide on this matter." (End of Chapter)
