Dragon Genesis: I Can Create Dragons - Chapter 470: There is no choice but to face them directly.

Chapter 470: There is no choice but to face them directly.

“So we finally meet again, Hero Kael.”

Aurelia grinned as she stared into the distance, her silver armor shining lightly, as if reacting to her.

“H-Hero Kael…?”

The General’s words, however, instantly made the other two scouts widen their eyes in disbelief.

The two of them obviously knew who Hero Kael was—the Hero summoned from another world, the Dragon Rider, the one chosen by Lord Feraos himself, the man destined to lead the final battle against Corruption, the man destined to protect the world, the man every single kingdom wanted to recruit, and the man… who abandoned the strongest kingdom and disappeared.

That was Kael Carter, the Hero from another world.

They… they were facing… him?

But why?

Why was the Hero targeting them?

No wait, more importantly—

“Lady Aurelia, please excuse my boldness… but could you tell how you knew the enemy was the Hero?”

Tyron asked, unable to hold back.

They had been thinking, strategizing, and had moved more than fifty men to find who the enemy was, and in the past three hours, they had… nothing.

But… to think the woman who came just a few minutes ago already had the answer—just… what did it tell about them?

Tyron hated feeling like that.

For the first time in his life, he felt that his mind had failed him.

But Aurelia just smiled.

“I have met him before, so I knew.”

“You… knew?”

Tyron tilted his head, still not buying that answer. He knew the Sky Serpent General had met Hero Kael before, but they didn’t have a long conversation—Tyron found it hard to believe that the two got this close considering the limited time they had.

Aurelia could tell what he was thinking as well, so she explained a little more carefreely—

“Hero Kael, I was interested in him ever since I first met him. I have been actively tracking all the news about him—his actions, the powers he uses, everything there is to know about him, I do.

This is why I can tell it was him.

If anything, it was his own actions that gave him away.”

Aurelia smiled at those words; she seemed quite excited when she thought about how she was going to see the boy again.

“His own actions…?”

Now Vishwa was curious as well.

Aurelia nodded at his words.

“If there is anything you should know about the Hero,

know that he is excessively merciful, even to his enemies. He will protect everything and everyone if possible. Even when he goes against ’enemies’, instead of killing them or hurting them, he knocks them unconscious.”

The General explained, and the scouts’ expressions changed.

“Like right now…”

Saria muttered. The very fact that the enemy saved her party member from falling to his death said it all.

Aurelia nodded as she turned towards the female scout—

“As for the power of illusion, his third Bond is a Dreamveil Kitsune. He used its power when he took away Princess Lavinia, so that adds up to the situation as well.

As for being able to take down multiple Sky Kingdom scouts alone, how many people do you think can pull it off?”

The General grinned.

The scouts, however, frowned at those words, especially Tyron.

“But… it has only been a few months since Hero Kael was summoned to this world, has it not?

Would he… truly be that strong? Strong enough to take down more than thirty scouts alone?”

Tyron asked.

“Who knows if he is alone or not?”

The General shrugged.

“Do not forget—”

Her eyes shined brightly—

“He has a Dragon.”

The moment the woman said those words, the scouts turned silent, their doubts vanishing in an instant.

They all knew the Hero’s Dragon was only a baby but… a Dragon was a Dragon—none of them doubted that.

“Then what should we do…?”

Vishwa asked carefully.

“Send ten men to the south.”

Aurelia answered in an instant.

“Just ten…?”

Vishwa frowned.

That man had already taken down more than thirty men—what would ten do?

Aurelia, however, did not answer him. Instead, she took out her communication crystal and—

“Take your men to Eastmourn. Spread the search artifacts throughout the island. I wish to know about every single movement on that island the moment it happens.

We will intercept the enemy the moment he appears there.”

[As you command, General.]

Another voice came from the communication crystal—a voice that did not ask pointless questions but took actions instead.

The light in the communication crystal faded away as Aurelia put it away, signalling that the connection was cut off.

And of course—

“The Eastmourn…?”

Vishwa, Tyron, and the other scouts had no clue what was happening.

They were just talking about sending the men to the south; how did this end up with them sending all the reinforcements they received to the east?

Just… what was the General thinking?

The woman didn’t answer their questions either. After all, she was acting on the information only a select few knew.

Hero Kael had settled with the Velmourns in the Ashen Heights. From everything Aurelia was told, it was clear that the Hero was currently in the south, but Tyron was right too. From his actions, it was clear that he was acting as a distraction—he wanted them to move to the south, which they did, by sending ten men there.

But the main reinforcements—the one hundred men led by Aurelia herself—Aurelia decided to position them in Eastmourn, the harsh mountainous region right in front of the Heights.

If Kael wanted to return to Heights, instead of flying through the ocean, which had hidden dangers, he would choose to travel through Eastmourn instead, and once he did—

They would catch him.

After all, unlike when he was in Heights, where they and their army could not enter because of the Treaty, outside, they had all the power.

If anything, this was a golden opportunity to get the boy.

A chance Aurelia could not miss under any circumstances.

“Be prepared.

We are moving.”

Aurelia ordered as she patted her Bond. The Eagle quickly understood what its master meant and flew high in the air before moving east. The other scouts followed despite being unsure of the decision.

That was the only thing they could do as subordinates.

Just like that, four hours passed by. The Skyfall Unit led by Aurelia herself was done setting up their artifacts about ten minutes ago and were waiting patiently.

Of course, the men still had doubts—would the enemy even come like the General said he would?

Not just them, even Aurelia herself was unsure. The woman—who was resting inside the emergency camp the Unit had set—was thinking constantly.

The possible consequences of her being wrong, how it might lead to them once again losing the Hero and the chance to recruit him.

But then—

“Lady Aurelia.”

The Unit’s second-in-command walked into Aurelia’s tent. Aurelia stared at him, expecting good news and—

“He is here.”

The good news came, and the General’s grin widened.

…

On the other side, Kael, who was returning from the Shrouded Wilds, was talking to Cirri—

“Things became more complicated than it should have, huh?”

He commented.

“Their Operation Leader was capable.”

Cirri commented.

Kael was forced to face more than fifty scouts; it was quite tiring.

“But he did fall for our tricks.”

The Sky Dragon laughed.

“Attracting their attention and making them move to the south was a well-thought-out idea. It made it easy for the others to make it back to Heights without any problems.

Hehe~

We fooled them all~”

Kael smiled at those words. Lavinia had already told him that they all reached Heights safely, so he wasn’t exceptionally worried now.

The thing he cared about the most was that it was almost dawn. He wanted to get to Heights before the first sunlight and get some sleep.

The man stretched his body lazily as he hovered in the air but then—

“Father.”

Cirri called out, her voice much heavier than before.

“Hm?”

“Enemies, a lot of them.”

The Dragon warned, and in an instant, Kael’s expression changed, and he paused.

“…What?”

He asked with a frown.

“Yes. From the insignia on their armors, they are all from the Sky Kingdom.”

Cirri nodded, and Kael’s face turned grim.

“The Sky Kingdom…? Here…?”

He didn’t understand.

He had already left the Shrouded Wilds and the Sky Kingdom’s territory; there shouldn’t be any more problems now—then how…?

Were they… waiting for him here?

Did they know… he was going to come?

But how?

What gave it away?

He had too many questions in his head—

But of course, Kael also knew he didn’t have the time to think about what went wrong right now—he needed to take action.

“How many?”

He questioned with a solemn look on his face.

“Eighty-one.”

“Eighty-one…?”

Kael’s eyes widened at the absurd number.

“And the one leading them doesn’t look normal either. Her Bond is strong…”

The Sky Dragon warned, and if a Dragon felt that way… Kael knew he couldn’t take the enemy lightly.

“We will try to change direction.”

Kael spoke, wanting to avoid direct confrontation. Cirri nodded as well; she too believed it was the best course of action—but within ten minutes—

“There is no point, Father.”

The Primordial Sky Dragon shook her head.

“The enemy has a way to track us. They are following us and changing directions the moment we do.”

Kael stopped at those words, his expression hardening even further.

“What do we do…?”

He asked.

And in a grim tone, Cirri answered—

“There is no choice but to face them directly.”
