Volume 6 Chapter 134

Volume 6 + Chapter 134: The Evil Blue Dragon

“Daisy, no objections to letting me join the front-line combat unit, right?” Xia Yi looked at Daisy. “Wallace has already admitted defeat, and the fight is over.”

“Yes, of course. Xia Yi, your performance was outstanding, if anything, it amazed everyone. We warmly welcome you to join the front-line combat unit of the Maginot military. From today onward, you are one of us!”

Daisy smiled, walked over to Xia Yi, and extended her hand.

Xia Yi also raised her hand and shook it.

Everyone marveled, feeling that Xia Yi’s strength far surpassed that of any other mage in the military.

“Wallace, come say hello to your new comrade!” Daisy looked at Wallace.

The burly vampire looked somewhat embarrassed. He scratched his head and awkwardly walked up to Xia Yi.

“Xia Yi, I’m really sorry about earlier. I looked down on you. I want to offer you my apology.”

“It’s fine. Honestly, I might have gone a bit overboard too.”

Seeing that Wallace acknowledged his inferior skill without making excuses or causing trouble, and was willing to lower his head and apologize, Xia Yi decided not to pursue the matter further.

“How did you do that earlier? The magic you released didn’t need any incantation, it was almost like instantaneous casting. None of the other mages in our military can do that,” Wallace said with admiration.

“Is that… very rare?” Xia Yi asked curiously.

“Yes, it’s extremely rare,” Daisy explained. “Some special staves can store magic in advance and release it instantly during combat, but that wasn’t your case, was it?”

“No. I just shortened the incantation a bit, reduced the preparation movements, and cut down the casting time…”

“And you can still successfully release magic like that? That’s incredible. How exactly do you do it?”

“It’s hard to explain. You just… do this and this, then do that and that, and finally… that’s it!”

Xia Yi couldn’t really explain it. It was simply the bloodline talent of the Silver Dragon King race, something she never needed to learn.

“Xia Yi is truly a magical prodigy!” Daisy praised. “Perhaps with your help, we can defeat that evil blue dragon.”

“Daisy, are you going to let Xia Yi come with us to defeat that evil blue dragon?” Wallace asked.

“Yes. That’s Lord Yuren’s wish. We can’t let any trouble other than the Calamity Beasts affect Maginot Fortress. Problems should be solved as early as possible.”

“But isn’t that too difficult? That evil blue dragon is extremely powerful. Ordinary magic probably has no effect on her.” Wallace looked worried.

“The evil blue dragon, have you tried to defeat her before?” Xia Yi asked curiously.

“Yes,” Daisy nodded. “Some time ago, outside Maginot Fortress, an evil blue dragon appeared. She comes to the fortress from time to time, seizes our supplies, and causes panic among the people.”

“What is she… roughly like?”

“In short, a giant dragon, huge. She can breathe lightning, and when she moves, the earth shakes and mountains tremble.”

Wallace recalled the battle at the time and still felt a lingering fear.

“They sent many people to hunt her down, but they still failed. Her strength is just too great. Weapons and blades can’t pierce her, and magic can hardly touch her. She flies into the sky and constantly bombards the ground with dragon breath. We simply couldn’t withstand it and had to retreat.”

“In the Mythic Age, are there also such violent dragons?” Xia Yi murmured.

“The existence of the evil blue dragon has seriously affected the stability of Maginot Fortress. Many people worry, what if the blue dragon suddenly goes berserk and starts attacking ordinary civilians? Therefore, we need to defeat the evil blue dragon as soon as possible,” Daisy said earnestly.

“Daisy, maybe we should ask Lord Yuren to send more reinforcements!” Wallace proposed.

“No. Lord Yuren has been busy with other matters recently and can’t spare many people… This task can only be left to us.”

“Alright, but in my opinion, we have little chance of winning…”

“Don’t be so pessimistic! If we work hard, there’s always a way!” Daisy countered. “Besides, now we also have Xia Yi joining us!”

“I hope… so,” Wallace sighed.

Although everyone acknowledged Xia Yi’s performance, thinking of the terrifying blue dragon’s strength still left them pessimistic.

…

…

Xia Yi officially joined the Maginot military. Her pass was updated, and she was assigned a new dormitory.

Although it was a double room, she was the only one living there.

According to Daisy, she wanted Xia Yi, as a mage, not to be disturbed, so she arranged this separate accommodation.

After resting one night in her own dormitory, the next day, Xia Yi changed into the military uniform and went to report for duty.

…

“Xia Yi, today we’re setting out to hunt the evil blue dragon. Let me emphasize one last time: she is a terrifying foe. Once we depart, there’s no backing out.”

The assembled hunting team, fully prepared, stood before Daisy as she explained this to Xia Yi.

Xia Yi, dressed in the dark military uniform, adjusted her cap on her head, brimming with fighting spirit. “I won’t retreat.”

“Very well. Then let’s move out now! Everyone, into the vehicles!”

Daisy had everyone board vehicles pulled by driven magical beasts.

Compared to the sports cars in Molent City, these vehicles were slower but had a certain degree of resilience, not easily destroyed by a single attack, and could better adapt to complex environments and terrain, making them suitable for battlefield use.

The team assembled to hunt the blue dragon numbered about several dozen people, ten of whom were elites like Wallace.

The Maginot Fortress opened its exit, and several beast-drawn vehicles sped through the exit, racing outward.

Wandering Calamity Beasts outside spotted Xia Yi and her group and gave chase, trying to kill everyone.

Fortunately, the number of Calamity Beasts was not large. Under Daisy’s command, the dragon-hunting unit used some props to hinder the Calamity Beasts’ movement and successfully shook off the monsters.

Xia Yi noticed that these people really had effective strategies for dealing with Calamity Beasts.

She sat in the vehicle, clutching her staff, feeling the bumps of the ride. She didn’t know how far they had traveled when the driver’s voice sounded.

“We’re about to enter the evil blue dragon’s territory. Everyone, be ready!”

The expressions of the people in the vehicle grew tense.

“Everyone, don’t panic. This time we will definitely, ”

Daisy wanted to lighten the mood, but before she could finish her sentence, a dragon’s roar came from outside.

“Roar!!!”

Everyone shuddered.

Xia Yi blinked in astonishment. “This voice… Why does it sound familiar?”
