Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 632 - 336: The Fear of the Pureblood Dragon and the Dragon Knight, the Beginning of the Chaos Battle_2

Ali couldn't help but curse.

Beatrice pondered: "Don't we need to recover the mass-produced sword pills?"

"No, just snipe them from a distance. Let's have the soldiers prepare for direct combat first."

Beatrice nodded, turned her head, and looked at the little swan holding a magic staff walking out from the cabin, saying:

"Have you found the problem?"

The little swan nodded with a bit of a headache, and Beatrice smoothed her furrowed brows with her hand before saying:

"What's the situation? Is there a way to stop them?"

——She was referring to the suddenly opened Gate of the Abyss.

Olivia sighed: "Sis, our dad might have left us a century's worth of problems."

"Hmm? What's this have to do with Father?"

"The Pirate Islands were the region hit hardest in the Mad King's War, bar none. It might be because of Father's intervention that, although the Mad King was dealt with, it heavily impacted the original forces' control over pirates in the Pirate Islands..."

"Get to the point."

"Simply put, after the Mad King's War, the Abyssal Church heavily infiltrated the Pirate Islands. They wouldn't have been able to turn the entire area beneath the Pirate Islands into a massive sacrificial array to the Bottomless Abyss otherwise."

Beatrice sighed.

With this, it was understandable why they hadn't seen a single pirate since entering the Pirate Islands.

It would be strange if they had.

The Abyssal Church branch likely acted on the pirates before they even got there.

And judging by the lack of resistance at the scene, it's fair to say the Abyssal Church held an overwhelming advantage.

"Huh? Overwhelming advantage?" She blinked, instinctively sensing something was amiss.

Even though in Beatrice's eyes, these pirates might have innocents among them and would face total execution, killing 9 out of 10 might allow some to slip through. Still, for these pirates to rule the seas for so many years, they must have some skills.

——Even after being bombarded by her own father, there shouldn't have been such a one-sided advantage.

If these pirates were that easy to deal with, why didn't those financially troubled countries take matters into their own hands and loot them dry?

The answer is, an ordinary country wouldn't find it easy to conquer the Pirate Islands.

Even with the decent strength of the Abyssal Church's Fallen Star Sea branch, they wouldn't suppress these pirates so thoroughly.

Unless... they had external support.

"Louis, I need to contact other countries."

"Hmm?"

"We might be facing threats on multiple fronts."

"..."

Louis pondered for a moment and agreed with Beatrice's assessment.

Soon after, Beatrice, having informed other countries, returned to the deck and gave Louis a peculiar glance, saying:

"The Dragon Empire side states they'll showcase the Sea Dragon Army's might as safely as possible. They regard our Mr. Mayer more highly than expected."

"Ahem, what are you saying!"

"Just that someone's current disguise is fit to mingle on the continent."

Louis tilted his head in confusion: 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Beatrice, they (the Sea Dragon Army) seem a bit afraid of me."

"That's normal. Sean and Fafnir said a long time ago that you're more dragon-like than dragons."

"Hmm? When did they say that?"

"Of course, you wouldn't know. You don't always pay attention to them."

"..."

"They're at least legendary, and as legendary dragons, they're not the disgrace of the five-colored dragon, the white dragons. Sean and Fafnir are among the best in legendary dragons."

"Indeed, especially considering they were once personal guards directly accompanying the Sapphire Dragon King. If their strength were watered down, it wouldn't make sense. But that's not the point... They've already noticed my issues?"

Beatrice nodded: "They probably realized it long ago. After all, you never really intended to hide it from them."

"Their... reaction?" Louis hesitated to ask.

Beatrice smiled and said: "What reaction do you expect from them? Anger? Fury? Or perhaps quietly leaving without a word?"

Louis, truthfully: "I hope they also consider me a friend."

"That's impossible... They can't..." Beatrice's eyes gleamed craftily as she smiled and said, "They've always treated you as a youngster, before and now."

"Is that so? Well, that's not bad either."

Beatrice gave Louis a complicated look.

She didn't know what her fiancé was worried about.

From her perspective, Louis had never concealed his recognition of his "human" identity, let alone admitted to being a pureblood dragon.

The reason Sean and Fafnir were willing to form a deep bond with him, even proactively assisting him, wasn't because some regarded him as a "pureblood dragon."

Absolutely not.

They've been by Louis' side for nearly half a year, and Louis never intentionally concealed anything. They even knew Mayer's true identity.

Anyone paying a bit of attention wouldn't mistake Louis for a pureblood dragon.

Helping him was partly because of the efforts Louis made when reclaiming the Sapphire Dragon King's remains, which they wanted to repay. On the other hand...

Perhaps, it's because they're the only two Sapphire Dragons in the world, and they feel a bit lonely.

Yet, Louis, who was amidst it all, wasn't as perceptive as she was.

It's a joke. Just considering the situation at Giant Plain, if it were purely to repay a debt, why would the two dragons continue protecting Louis all the way to the prairie?

That's just a joke.

From a dragon's perspective, ordinary dragons aren't even that concerned with their own offspring.

The two dragons truly treat Louis as a youngster!

Understand that, even while tracking down alien entities infiltrating Giant Plain at its most perilous moments, the two dragons consistently guarded Louis.

It wasn't until he activated the "Gate of the Picture" to leave that they withdrew from the battlefield.

She rubbed her brow and shifted her focus back to the battlefield:

"That group of pirates lacked the power to resist and were wiped out by the Abyssal Church, turned into sacrificial items for the underwater sacrificial array, there was definitely outside assistance involved."

Louis said: "Who knows who helped them, perhaps people sent by the Abyssal Church headquarters, perhaps demons they summoned in advance, or other evil faction forces, possibly even an ally disguised as an order faction country... We can meet force with force."

His eyes flickered with an icy glow.

From the outset of this encirclement, he was mentally prepared.

Ense didn't send over people this time just to target the Abyssal Church believers.

Or, it wasn't merely targeting them.

His imaginary foes... included all allies participating in this event, including the Abyssal Cultists.

Indeed, though the body of the Middle Son is no longer, the spirit persists.

From the start, he approached it with the pretense of "being against the world."

"So, Abyssal Church, and those hidden hands that may be within our camp, this is a rare opportunity to severely wound the order side forces! Are you not considering coming?"

The Balrog Flame Demon is an extremely dangerous demon species.

But most Balrog Flame Demons are not legendary demons, and about only 20% have the chance to be promoted to legendary.

——Of course, they can also forcibly increase their strength through Abyssal Blood War, but the vast majority of them fall on the battlefield before they even promote themselves.

Previously, during the encirclement, a Balrog Flame Demon appeared, meaning...

A rumbling sound echoed.

Louis' gaze moved to the distant sky.

Against the sunlight, the outlines of interleaving fleets from various countries appeared on the sea surface.

Even from this great distance, he noticed about one-third of the magic ships were attacked by unknown forces.

He couldn't help but smile, a glint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.:

"At last... having hidden this long, can you show a bit of the tail now?"

Beatrice glanced at him and said:

"Had you anticipated this situation?"

"No, but regardless of who..." Louis' beautiful eyes had dazzling golden light interwoven with the red light of the Eye of Truth, "I have resolved to leave them here."
