Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: Intruders and Dragon Hatchlings

"Roar!! That's right! We are noble True Dragons! Mere adventurers are nothing at all!" Fiona shouted.

Thud, thud, thud~

A series of footsteps sounded at this moment, seeming quite noisy, with varying weights.

There were also the wails of little kobolds.

"Looks like we don't need to go over, those adventurers have come to us! Hmph! That's just as well!" Fiona said.

The two young dragons silently awaited the arrival of the enemy.

The first to come into view were six or seven little kobolds fleeing frantically, howling incessantly.

A slender figure, clad in leather armor, with dark skin, a female Dark Elf, alongside a few warriors in armor, wielding sharp blades, slaughtered the little kobolds crazily.

Blood splattered all around.

Only one lucky little kobold survived, kneeling before the two dragons, howling incessantly.

It spoke in the kobold language, which the dragons couldn't understand, but the leader who knew a bit of dragon language could understand and roughly translated it.

It wanted the dragons to avenge them.

To this, the two dragons remained indifferent, not even acknowledging the kobold, only focusing intently on the incoming enemies.

A brawny man nearly two meters tall, clad in armor, holding a large shield, with a face full of beard.

The brawny man wore a tattered little kobold hood on top of his head, with a candle stuck on it, leaving no doubt where it came from.

Upon spotting the two young dragons, he was momentarily surprised, then quickly showed vigilance, hastily running over to stand before the Dark Elf who was charging ahead.

He raised his shield high.

The other warriors obediently retreated behind him.

Then, a dozen more figures appeared consecutively.

A middle-aged Mage in a blue mage robe, with a tulip flower on his chest.

Alongside, a Hunter in leather armor and a middle-aged man in silver armor, inlaid with a few colorful gemstones.

Beside them, and behind, were several dozen warriors clad in armor, wielding sharp blades and torches.

Their blades were covered with the blood of kobolds, with some still having uncleaned flesh.

This made them look extremely ferocious.

"Dragons! There are actually dragons! By the gods! We've encountered Red and Black Dragons!"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

Although the Giant Dragon, such apex creatures of the food chain, do indeed exist in this world, well documented in many books and even seen in various places.

But for people in some small places, they may never see one in their lifetime!

"Roar! Mortals! Upon seeing the great Red Dragon King Fiona! Why do you not bend your knees, lower your heads? Offer me your most reverent homage."

Xiao Female Dragon raised her neck, letting out a piercing roar.

"Roar! And your treasures!" The Little Black Dragon followed suit with a roar.

Their imposing manner was indeed astonishing.

Making the dozen or so armored warriors, and the middle-aged man in silver armor surrounded in the center, rather tense.

"Pfft~"

But soon, a light laugh broke the current scenario.

Everyone, including the two dragons, involuntarily turned their gaze, seeing the Mage in the crowd twitching on his face, seemingly unable to hold back.

"Mortals! What are you laughing at?" Xiao Female Dragon Fiona roared.

"Haha~ It's too funny! Just two little dragons, daring to act all mighty before us! Better have your parents come out!" The Mage sneered.

"Parents? We don't need such things at all! I, Fiona, can easily kill you mice myself!" Xiao Female Dragon roared.

"I think you two must be children abandoned by your parents!" The Mage laughed coldly.

"Seeking death!"

Xiao Female Dragon was furious, not only did these humans dare to disdain her majesty, but they also had the audacity to mock her?

What did they think they were?

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Female Dragon opened her mouth and spewed out the scorching Dragon Flame.

Ahead, a dozen meters were completely engulfed.

The Dragon Flame instantly rolled toward the ten or so people.

"Hand!!!!"

Standing in the center of the crowd, the middle-aged man in armor was visibly shocked in the face of the rolling heat wave, calling out loudly.

"With me here! Don't even think about harming Lord Baron in the slightest! Hah!"

At the front, the man with the giant shield shouted fiercely, stepping forward, with his shield glowing with brightness, the flames burning toward them were all absorbed by the shield.

"Is this! Magic Equipment?"

Seeing this, Xiao Female Dragon halted her breath, exclaiming in surprise.

"A young dragon indeed has a good eye!" The Mage smiled faintly.

"Damn it! Even if it's Magic Equipment, there's nothing special about it! Let's see how much fire your equipment can absorb!"

Xiao Female Dragon roared angrily, spewing out flames once more.

The Little Black Dragon, seeing that one dragon had difficulty dealing with the enemy, quickly joined in, spitting a mouthful of Acid Liquid towards the Mage in the crowd.

The Mage merely lifted his Magic Staff slightly, and a deep blue Magic Missile appeared out of nowhere, colliding with the Acid Liquid, causing a sizzling sound and white smoke.

"It's useless! I am a level 7 Mage from the Tulip Magic Guild.

The power of mere young dragons cannot possibly match me, if you are smart, you'd better stop attacking immediately and surrender." The Mage said.

"Ptooey! Lowly human! You think you can make us surrender? No way!"

Xiao Female Dragon continued spitting, unable to contain her anger, cursing again.

At this moment, the Dark Elf who had been in the crowd dashed out, speeding to the front of Xiao Female Dragon, and fiercely stabbed at the neck with a dagger.

Xiao Female Dragon quickly turned around and lashed with her tail.

The Dark Elf swiftly dodged aside, spinning the dagger to cut a notch on the Xiao Female Dragon's tail, shattering a scale and drawing a stream of blood.

"Roar! Damn it! Another Magic Weapon?"

In pain, Xiao Female Dragon grew even more furious, standing up, her claws fiercely striking down, creating pits on the cave floor, her rampant stance somewhat reminiscent of Land's might.

But this flurry of attacks only brushed against the shadow of the Dark Elf, with Xiao Female Dragon's claws instead receiving two more cuts.

"It's useless! You can't even touch me! While my Soul Devourer will continually add new wounds to your body.

The power of a Giant Dragon is only so much!"

The Dark Elf spoke with full composure, exuding an aura of arrogance.

This allowed the dozen warriors behind and the Baron to appear relaxed.

"Indeed! When it comes to strength! My warriors are stronger!"

The Baron showed a look of ease, then an expression of excitement.

In some legendary storybooks.

He had read much about tales where people encounter young Giant Dragons, form bonds, and become friends, naturally having fantasized about it.

Originally thinking he'd never have a positive interaction with Giant Dragons in his lifetime, Lord Baron couldn't help but feel his heart stirred.

"Go! Capture these two young dragons for me! Great rewards await!"

Lord Baron excitedly called out.

At this moment, only two warriors remained by his side, while the rest all charged towards the two young dragons!
