Chapter 480: The Grand Arrival for the Wedding
Every year during the anniversary celebration, the capital, Jinyu City, is exceptionally lively. This year, it coincides with the wedding of Her Highness the Princess, and the atmosphere inside and outside Jinyu Palace is overflowing with joy, as if even the air is permeated with sweetness and blessings.
Blanche is wearing an exquisite lace gown, the hem of which is as pure and flawless as a blooming lily, inlaid with pearls and gemstones that shimmer brilliantly under the light.
Her hair is meticulously woven into intricate braids, adorned with a few pieces of jewelry crafted by master artisans, making her beauty appear even more peerless.
In a few hours, she will leave this palace where she has lived for twenty years to live in a strange land; Blanche is very nervous about this, yet also very expectant.
What makes her nervous is that she must face a completely unfamiliar environment, while what she expects is that she will live with the person she loves.
"I wonder when Luoning will arrive?"
She cannot help but look up at the sky outside. She knows the wedding schedule, but she is always worried that some accident might occur on the long road from Wushan Castle to Jinyu City, causing a delay.
"Rest assured, he will arrive on time."
Knight Mixi says with a smile: "You only need to be a beautiful bride with peace of mind."
"Thank you, Mixi."
Blanche smiles sweetly, "You were the one who accompanied me to Wushan Castle back then. I never expected that my marriage to Luoning would be settled just like that. Now, looking back on the experiences in Wushan City, it is also an extremely beautiful memory."
"Indeed, time flies so fast!"
Mixi also cannot help but sigh.
The Baron of that time is now a Marquis of the Kingdom, and some of the big figures from that experience, such as Earl Aosen, or Hesusu, have actually all been defeated and perished at the hands of Luoning.
Luoning is powerful, and at the same time, he is the wisest and gentlest noble she has ever met; no one is as attentive to commoners and even Slaves as Luoning is.
This is what she has seen and heard in the Wubei Territory recently.
Roar—
The roar is low yet seems to possess an extremely strong penetrating power, causing the busy people to tremble involuntarily.
Blanche is overjoyed, "Luoning is here!"
Mixi also smiles and says: "I heard he would ride a dragon here today. I didn't see it when I went to the Wubei Territory a while ago, so today is a perfect chance to see it."
"You will be shocked!"
Blanche blinks and says: "Really!"
High above, Luoning rides the giant dragon, flying over the Wushan Territory at great speed, crossing the Screaming Sea, and arriving at Jinyu City.
Luoning pats Kaierluosi's back and instructs: "Get the atmosphere going."
And so, the scene of Kaierluosi's long cry occurs.
This sound pierces the nine heavens, reaching Niujiao Bay and Jinyu City below.
Even separated by several kilometers, the sound is enough to make people's hearts tremble; even the birds in the forest are frightened into taking flight in a panic, not knowing where to flee.
"This is Luoning arriving!"
Bruno smiles and stands up. As the King of a country, he is greeting him personally, which can be said to be giving him plenty of face.
The festive and lively people in Jinyu Palace also stop their conversations one after another, unable to help but walk out of the hall to gaze at the sky.
They know a giant dragon is coming, and all of them want to witness its true form.
Bruno being able to walk out is also mostly for this purpose.
In the crowd, Mailun looks up to gaze at the sky. He learned about the giant dragon from Partridge, who said it was dozens of meters long. He held a very skeptical attitude toward this, feeling that this was Partridge trying to save face for his own failure.
Today, he will finally be able to witness it.
As for Duke Feilunsi, Andreya, and others, most of them also hold the intention of evaluating, so as to assess Luoning's strength in detail.
Roar—
Another dragon roar, this time closer. Everyone's spirit is shaken, and some noblewomen even change their expressions.
Crown Prince Jialete narrows his eyes, feeling somewhat unhappy in his heart, "Having a dragon is one thing, but with such a big display, who is he showing it off to?"
The third dragon roar sounds, like a thunderclap from the nine heavens, making people show fear.
"It's here!"
Everyone can see the black dot on the horizon, and it is enlarging at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Oh, my god!"
"Is this a giant dragon?"
"How can it be so big!"
"Its wingspan must be over a hundred meters, right?"
Countless screams filled with panic arise; all the nobles are shocked by this scene.
Even Jialete, who was disdainful just a moment ago, has his expression changed now.
"Luoning!"
He grits his teeth. At this moment, he discovers that even though he has become a Blazing Sun Knight, there seems to be an uncrossable chasm between him and Luoning.
This giant creature, with a body length of over fifty meters and a wingspan of over a hundred meters, exerts too much pressure!
This kind of gap makes him feel somewhat powerless and desperate, and his hatred for Luoning in his heart grows even deeper.
In fact, it is not just him; Feilunsi, Andreya, Mailun, and others have all changed their expressions.
"No wonder Partridge lost..."
Fear appears on Mailun's face. Facing such a behemoth, the warships on the sea can only be slow-moving targets.
As for the Magic Cannon and Magic Arrow, Mailun looks at Kaierluosi's steel-like scales; can these combat weapons really be effective?
Bruno feels some lingering fear in his heart; fortunately, he changed his strategy in time and established a good relationship with Luoning.
If things had continued to deteriorate, let alone those Knights of the Wushan Territory, this behemoth before his eyes alone would be enough to give him a headache.
"Alright Kaierluosi, restrain your aura a little, don't scare the guests."
Luoning communicates mentally and gives a word of caution.
Kaierluosi indicates it understands, and while restraining its aura, it also folds its wings; its figure, which had been blocking out the sky and sun, slowly lands on the plaza.
"Luoning pays his respects to His Majesty!"
Luoning stood atop Kaierluosi and bowed; this scene brought a powerful visual impact.
Bruno swallowed his saliva in secret; as a king of a nation, he was still able to maintain his composure.
He laughed heartily: "Come, Luoning, you and Blanche will be the protagonists of today."
Luoning stepped on the void, and with a single maneuver, he arrived before the crowd.
"Sorry to have kept everyone waiting."
He smiled and greeted the crowd, then followed Bruno into the grand auditorium.
Meanwhile, as the nobles offered their greetings one after another, they also looked from time to time at the giant creature crouching on the plaza.
Today would leave an indelible scene in their hearts.
For a very long time in the future, whenever this wedding was mentioned, they would likely be able to sigh with emotion.
"This is a very good display of military force!"
Feilunsi and Andreya gathered together, the tone of their conversation quite grave.
Only now did they realize how much confidence Wushan Territory had to dare to make a move against Moonlight Valley.
"If it were up to you to deal with this giant dragon, how much certainty would you have?" Feilunsi asked in a low voice.
Andreya's brows were tightly locked, and he shook his head helplessly, "Judging from its size and aura, its strength definitely exceeds Level 7; it is very likely an Eight-level Magical Beast."
Any Eight-level Magical Beast is extremely powerful; even a Silver Moon Knight of the same level would find it hard to cope without real skill, let alone the giant dragon before them.
"If we are well-prepared, using high-power Magic Cannons like the Heart Piercing Wave or Flame God Roar to bombard it should give us a chance."
Andreya whispered his thoughts: "Being big has its disadvantages too; at least it's easier to aim at."
Feilunsi gave a grunt of acknowledgment, "Although we can soar through the air, we have no way to catch up to its speed. If we could solve the problem of aerial flight, perhaps the two of us joining forces could heavily injure it, or even slaughter it!"
Although the two of them spoke of having ways to deal with it, they both understood in their hearts.
Even if they could truly slaughter the dragon, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties themselves!
But if that were the case, where would the value of their victory lie?
For a moment, they did not know how they should deal with the giant dragon, or how they should target Luoning and Wushan Territory. (End of this chapter)
