Huh? What's the matter?
(You tell Brakis of the complains [sic] you've heard.)
Ah, yes...that sounds about right.
People have been complaining for awhile.
In truth, do you know how much
that thing eats?
(Brakis checks his ledger.)
5 sheep, 20 stacks of hay, 27 baskets of fruit...
Oh! And on top of that, 3 horses.
3 of our very valuable horses!
All that for a giant beast that terrorizes the town.
From that perspective, their complaints make sense.
But they cannot see the dragon's value in battle.
It is worth an entire division of soldiers.
Simply spreading its wings sends enemies running!
It is our ultimate weapon.
