There's nothing left of the city after that breath attack blew through it.

 

[dbgecko]

I wonder whose plan this was, or if it was an accident? It probably wasn't the Marquis' plan, since he wanted to retake the city rather than vaporizing it.

 

[GoblinGuy]

Oh baby a double. Nice.

There's nothing left of the city after that breath attack blew through it.

It's two massive holes in the wall, but that's still only a small percentage of wall lost. Probably still nowhere near enough damage to make the city useless as a military asset.
Although with the rate both sides are pulling new tech and powerful creatures out of their ass any military asset may as well be made of paper if it's not made by Van I guess. They supposedly have multiple of these dragons? They could vaporize any city unless it's surrounded compressed-block material.

 

[DaoFox]

good thing they have a construction specialist or rebuilding that would be a massive headache....

 

[stal2walk]

That dragon just destroy like 15%+ of that fortress in a single move HOLY

I'm aware that the eldest Fertio son is supposed to go manage the annex village near Van's main village, but it really seems to me that they're going to want Van to rebuild Scudetto and then ensure that this key territory is never taken again. It still takes him months to build large walls to his satisfaction so this is not a small ask. The best incentive to ensure that Van protects Scudetto with everything in his power is to give him the territory and/or put someone in charge of the city that he feels indebted to. His father is definitely not that person, but his elder brother on the other hand... But I might be wrong and perhaps Lady Panamera takes the city as technically she would have been the key general, using Van's troop, to retake it. Well, we'll see.

Hopefully, most residents of the city managed to flee when it was taken and it was just manned by enemy military troops by the time it got wrecked by the dragon.

Still, what a nasty plan to want to unleash that red-copper earth dragon on the Scuderia royal capital to burn it down, considering its firepower.

Honestly, it's also strange to behave like that because peasants in feudal systems are bound to the land and are essentially exploited by the nobility. When you capture a territory, you take the peasants in too, because they're a resource that increase your wealth. (And warfare tends to be sordid, with soldiers being rewarded with loot and rape.) So taking over territory by burning it down and chasing its people away from it is a bit odd, when all you really need to do is purge the nobility and then replace them.

 

[brndndss]

how they managed to perfectly defeat the dragon so it would fall backwards and blast breath the city, idk

ohh TIL horse rear up like the dragon did when they feel pain, fear or other strong emotions too. guess theres my anwser lol

 

[fuzzyk]

Freightliner?

 

[Drifter]

RIP any civilians that didn't evacuate earlier.

 

[Psychronia]

Oh, I guess that guy is like the Mercia of their team.

It's a shame. I feel like a clever but cowardly-at-heart guy is exactly the sort of person that Van would get along with.

Anyway, nice. We got a head start on the demolition for Van to rebuild the walls better.

I don't think that's what they were specifically aiming for, just coincidence. They were just trying to kill it, I think.

 

[Quarnozian]

"Deploy Them" he says...

But where the F did that thing come from? You'd assume it came from the gatehouse, but that dragon is twice the size of the hole in that gatehouse... so unless its hole has amazingly resilient stretchiness, that's not the right hole.

 

[S0LUS]

Well, that's a new one to add to the list of 'terrible names to give your child'... the only way Prince Freightliner's name could be more embarrassing would be if his family name was something like "Butkis" :V

 

[DrunkinDonut]

Freightliner?

I mean it's been a thing the entire run of the story? Some writers just choose a theme for their character names to make it easier for themselves. The prince that they captured earlier, was called Unimog. Yet another Daimler brand name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unimog

The Dad's first name is Jalpa. Viscountess Panamera. I would not be shocked if some noble on the kingdom's side gets named Spyder.

Scudet is Gone-det

 

[pepoluan]

Freightliner?

Another prince of the Yelenetta Kingdom is named Peterbilt, I bet.

And maybe a younger brother named Kenworth.

Oh wow I totally forgot Unimog 😂

 

[Oblycoris]

GODDAMN THAT DRAGON BLAST .... hope no civilian died there and only the walls and buildings got destroyed

Guess they started running low on ideas by the tenth kid.
