(T/N: Rairaiken is a famous ramen shop in Tokyo)

Being told that, Renya looked down towards the ground from atop of the dragon's back.

He has no idea at what height they are flying, but there's only pitch black ground depicted below. He does see things that might possibly be lights at spots all over, but he absolutely doesn't understand what they are doing and in what state they are.

It looks like the allied forces have already passed the border and entered the Trident Principality, but although Renya wanted to actually have a look at how many people they have, he can't see the military forces' condition at all since they chose to travel at night so that they won't receive any attacks, and moreover, they are flying at quite a high altitude.

Is this the Holy Kingdom's allied army below us? (Renya)

Upon the dragon's thought, Renya strains his eyes into the darkness ahead.

Over there is a huge city that is surrounded by high walls. He can see a castle with several high spires in the centre of the city.

Because the city itself is bright due to the lights all over, even Renya's eyes were capable of perceiving its existence, albeit only vaguely, even as they fly while maintaining a reasonable altitude.

At the instant Renya answered the dragon's thought with a light chatter, a brilliantly green laser light gushed out of its mouth.

Just as it was ordered by Renya, the dragon destroyed several of the castle's spires, and then, after flying past above the residential area, it crashes into a part of the wall surrounding the city.

The wall at that spot was blown away without any showy explosion.

I guess dragons are amazing. (Renya)

The dragon says to Renya, who muttered that calmly, while looking displeased.

The dragon's body, with Renya on top, descended towards an open space that seemed to be the castle's courtyard.

The Holy City's side was surprised and flustered.

Once they realized that it was a dragon that suddenly came flying down from a high altitude, they partially fell into a state of panic, but that dragon went even further and blew away a part of the city's wall, and shot parts of the castle with its breath.

Moreover, the dragon didn't fly away either, but is about to land in the castle's courtyard.

If it was the hero, he still might have somehow handled it, but the hero is in the middle of an expedition while leading the army in a far, distant place.

And there's no way that the soldiers remaining in the castle would be able to stand a chance no matter what kind of dragon flew in.

In the end they couldn't do anything besides watching the dragon, which didn't take any action other than gently landing seemingly unbefitting of its huge frame, and the figure of the person standing up on its back.

Holy Kingdom, I have business with your king. Bring him here! (Renya)

Renya shouted while looking down on the soldiers crowding around in the surroundings as he stands on top of the dragon's back.

Grasping that there's a human on the dragon's back, the soldiers got their weapons ready.

Renya, who watched them while looking bored, lightly taps the back of the dragon.

As if upon command, the dragon threatened the soldiers that had set up their weapons by growling deeply and loudly.

With only that, the soldiers ended up sinking down to the ground due to their knees giving way and at the same time letting go of their weapons.

I'm telling you once more. I have business with your king. Hurry up and bring him here. You are free to resist me. But make sure to come at me after having resolved yourselves, as the earlier breath will be fired right into the centre of the city without holding back this time, okay? (Renya)

While feeling mentally worn-out a bit, due to his own lines being just like those of a villain, Renya has a hunch that it will take quite a lot of time for the king to come since it's the middle of the night right now.

As he listens to the voices calling for the king resounding all over and while he prays that there are none among the soldiers who are going to attack out of a pointless sense of duty, Renya wonders just how fast the king will get here as he waits on the dragon's back.
