[-CANAL OF CANCRI CITY-]
At the exit of the canal, Alliyah and the vampire princess noticed the approaching dragons above them.
Despite their large battleship, it won't have a chance against an air-borne attack.
Having to face 5 dragons might be too much for them because their ship would easily be destroyed by the approaching dragons.
Even the vampire princess had no experience in combat against a dragon. The same as the other members of Vanguard.
Compared to them, the dragon riders had experience in defeating vampires. And they have vanquished a lot of them.
"My Lord, I think it would be wise if we proceed instead to the capital city of this kingdom. I doubt the vampire princess would ally with us. She might think of us as threats," one of the most trusted dragon riders of the emperor shared his thoughts.
