Chapter 88: The sorrow of the era, human livestock

The screen continued.

【"Irene Belserion?"】

【Natsu murmured this name softly, inexplicably feeling a bit familiar.】

【It seemed he had heard it somewhere before.】

【Upon hearing this, the woman nodded quickly and said.】

【"This Queen is indeed a responsible Queen. It is said that in the previous battles, the Queen even went to the front lines herself."】

【Speaking of this, the woman couldn't help but sigh again.】

【"But it's a pity that the evil dragon swarm is too powerful. Even with the Queen leading the expedition, they were beaten back steadily."】

【"Look, the kingdom's first line of defense has already collapsed. It is said that the kingdom is currently in contact with neighboring countries, attempting to unite to fight against the dragons, but I don't know the specific situation."】

【"But no matter what, with the first line of defense broken, this village located at the border is definitely not going to be saved. That's why everyone is scrambling to leave here. Only by going to the center of the kingdom will there be more opportunities to survive."】

【The woman looked at the crowd that hadn't managed to relocate yet, her tone filled with despair.】

【"As for those of us who didn't make it, we can only leave it to fate."】

【"If we are lucky, maybe we can catch the next carriage before the giant dragons arrive. If not..."】

【The woman didn't finish her words, but both the woman and the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled who were forced to stay behind knew that the only outcome was death.】

【Natsu furrowed his brows upon hearing this.】

【"Then how many dragons are in the dragon swarm?"】

【"Who knows? Ten? A hundred? No one knows. But even if it's just one dragon, we can't handle it."】

【"Then haven't you thought about resisting?"】

【Natsu asked again.】

【Hearing Natsu's question, everyone present looked at Natsu as if they were looking at an idiot.】

【"Resisting?"】

【The burly man who had been grabbed by Natsu curled his lips.】

【"Those are giant dragons! They are existences that are impossible to defeat!"】

【"They are existences beyond human reach. How can we resist? Didn't you see that even the Kingdom Army was defeated? You have to know that the Kingdom Army even had giant dragons helping them."】

【Perhaps this is the sorrow of this era.】

【Under the rule of the dragon race, humans are like ants, casually treated as food.】

【Long-standing concepts made them feel that giant dragons had become synonymous with invincibility. Of course, perhaps for ordinary people, or even mages, this was indeed the case.】

【Up to now, the only thing known to be able to cause damage to giant dragons is Dragon Slayer Magic.】

【Therefore, this might be a fundamental difference in concepts.】

【For Natsu, dragons are not unreachable, nor are they invincible.】

【But for these ordinary people, it is not so.】

【Having figured this out, Natsu had no intention of arguing about this issue with the people before him.】

【Just as he was planning to ask about other issues regarding the current human world,】

【a sudden gust of wind caught Natsu's attention!】

【"What's going on?"】

【"Why did the wind suddenly pick up?"】

【"And the wind is so strong, it's coming from the sky."】

【The sky?】

【The sharp-sensed Natsu twitched his nose, seeming to have sensed something, and raised his head.】

【His expression turned ugly in an instant.】

【"Damn it! Are they here?"】

【"Mage-sama? What's here?"】

【The woman looked at Natsu before her with some confusion.】

【Although Natsu was very young, still an underage child, he was a mage!】

【He was a mage who had mastered supernatural power, a mage far superior to ordinary people.】

【In this era, strength is respected. As long as you are strong, you won't be looked down upon because of your age.】 ===== CHAPTER 89 =====
