Chapter 920 The Dragon King Appears

Chapter 920 The Dragon King Appears

Petrov shivered, his pale face resembling that of a Victorian noblewoman with her face covered in lead-white foundation.

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

In this era when humanity has explored almost every corner of the world.

Every unclaimed land, no matter how barren or desolate, would be marked by explorers who would plant their own flags there, yet no one had ever heard of a place where such a large herd of dragons still lived.

If even the slightest clue is detected, all those fanatical adventurers in Europe who dream of becoming dragon knights will swarm around them like flies drawn to a scent.

boom--

The Lviv capital ship had large sections of its armor plates torn off by two crimson dragons working together, exposing its vulnerable interior.

There was a large stockpile of white crystal explosives there, making it undoubtedly the weakest point on the entire airship.

Immediately following, another black-scaled dragon opened its massive maw and spewed out scorching dragon flames. Fortunately, the Levof immediately activated its protective magic array and began to evade, attempting to withstand the damage with its thickest mid-section armor.

But the other two dragons were no pushovers. They worked in perfect harmony, like brothers who had lived together for hundreds of years, spewing dragonfire that bombarded the side of Lviv, creating a tooth-grinding explosion.

The Lviv's cannons began to roar, and more than a dozen spellcasters on board desperately unleashed colorful spells.

The escort ships, specifically designed for anti-aircraft operations, also did their best to provide support, but the dragons were flying too fast. The powerful naval guns mounted on these escort ships, capable of penetrating even airships, were unable to lock onto these agile dragons for the time being.

Soon, the already precarious Lviv, aided by two more dragons that arrived as reinforcements, had its ammunition depot, filled with white crystal bombs, set on fire, causing a secondary explosion that cleaved the entire capital ship in two.

"The Lviv is gone!"

"These dragons are fearless and agile; our escort ships are no match for them!"

The course of the war made Petrov feel like his head was about to explode. He slapped himself hard to calm himself down.

Any country in the world that possesses weapons like airships has never considered dragons as a potential enemy.

Although the Ottomans once reigned supreme by riding dragons, and successive conquerors used dragons to conquer territories that encompassed almost half of the Mediterranean coast, that is all history now.

During several Russo-Turkish wars and internal turmoil, the Ottoman Oglu family never displayed any of the prestige of being "Ottoman bloodline who tames the dragon." On the contrary, they even handed over the national treasure, the "Dragon-Shooting Crossbow," to the British as a thank-you gift.

That is, the "Republic of Texas Rio Grande," which occupies a key part of Central America and swallows up most of Mexico, possesses a very powerful legendary ancient dragon.

But let alone the Russians, even the British, who had suffered great losses in their expedition to the New World, would never completely modify their airship fleet just to deal with a dragon.

Petrov shouted the order: "Release all high-speed airships from the cabin immediately!"

As an aerospace carrier, the Ivan the Terrible's six small airships in its engine room sacrificed range for high-speed maneuverability. Despite being only the size of a frigate, their combat power far surpasses that of other ships.

"Charge the Tesla coil! Don't be stingy with the caster's mana; do everything possible to speed up the charging process!"

"Power up all ships! The dragon is agile, so do not fire in a scattered manner. Once a target is locked, immediately use barrage to intercept it! At the same time, the royal mages on each ship must do everything in their power, even at the cost of their lives, to restrict the enemy dragon's movement as much as possible!"

After overcoming the initial panic, as Petrov issued his orders, the Russian air force fleet gradually began an orderly counterattack.

The Obsidian Dragon is coming to this world for the first time.

With abundant spirituality and no dragons to be found, it felt that leading the northern dragons to settle in this world might be much better than continuing to guard the remains of Jormungandr.

However, the humans in this world are clearly not to be trifled with.

The coil that summoned lightning still put immense pressure on even a legendary ancient dragon like itself. The strength that the Northern Dragon Clan was so proud of would likely find it difficult to gain a foothold in this world as an alien force.

The Dragon King claimed that this world was just a dream of his, which the Obsidian Dragon completely disbelieved.

If a being's dream could be so realistic, that being would likely be at a level surpassing even its ancestor Nidhogg, a standard that even the ancient gods could not reach.

The obsidian dragon was very knowledgeable, and it guessed that Lothar must have projected them into this other world through some special method, so that even if they died here, it was only the projection that disappeared, and it did not affect their original bodies.

The obsidian dragon leisurely spewed dragonfire, easily piercing the cannons of a young, high-level dragon. However, when the fire struck its scales, it was like throwing mud into the sea, only producing a small firework.

As a unique dragon species born from the remains of Nidhogg, the most distinctive feature of the Obsidian Dragon is its indestructible obsidian-like scales.

At the right moment, a powerful naval cannon shot struck the Obsidian Dragon's body, causing it to feel a trace of pain for the first time ever.

It looked on with some surprise, its damaged black scales quickly repairing themselves, and it continued to fly at a leisurely pace.

Its size is the largest among all dragons, even surpassing that of the three-headed Ladon. Because of its slow flight speed, it naturally attracts the most firepower. But this is actually the Obsidian Dragon's intention, to absorb as much damage as possible for its people.

"Power up all ships, cease attack, activate shields, Tesla coils are about to fire at full power!"

Petrov's voice echoed in the command posts of each warship.

The next moment, on the Ivan the Terrible, the Tesla coil suddenly lit up.

With the relentless power of the Russian Air Force, this forbidden weapon, still in the experimental stage, finally unleashed its full power.

boom--

It was as if the ancient thunder god was beating his war drums, dark clouds gathered, and white arcs of electricity leaped from the clouds.

The electric arcs gathered more and more, like a dense spider web that enveloped the entire sky.

In an instant, countless young dragons were caught off guard and turned to ashes the moment they were struck by the silver serpent. The dragons' highly resistant scales were as fragile as paper in the face of this lightning.

Not only the dragon, but even though the Russian ships had rehearsed this scenario in advance and activated the anti-lightning shields personally modified by Tesla, several airships still had their armor pierced by electric arcs.

The accumulated destructive power instantly took the lives of all the crew members on board.

The dragon horde, with more than half of its members killed or wounded, retreated in disarray.

The airship spun around, billowing smoke as it plummeted from the clouds.

Petrov had no time to feel sorry for it. Using an imperfect forbidden weapon at such a "meager" price, what was there for him to complain about?

However, when the chaotic silver snakes all disappeared.

After all the Tesla coils failed due to overload,

From above the clouds, a pair of broad, massive wings billowed up a fierce wind as it swooped down.

It was a colossal dragon beyond human imagination.

Its head resembles a majestic mountain peak, its winding dark red dragon horns are like a magnificent crown, and its two huge dragon eyes gleam with golden light, like stars hanging high in the sky.

With just one glance, Petrov was certain of the other's identity—the mastermind and controller behind the dragons.

"The Dragon King has appeared!"

A Russian captain exclaimed, "That dragon! I've seen it before! It's the Texas dragon that destroyed an entire British fleet, the one known as the 'Dragon of Destruction'! The Texans have joined the war!"
