I'm a dragon, I only want to steal princesses

Chapter 407: Being in constant panic all day long

The Kingdom of Death, outside Red Moon City.

The imperial army was stationed on a high ground, and the middle-aged brigadier general in charge paced nervously back and forth in the tent.

A moment later, a cavalry lieutenant who was one of his confidants walked into the tent and saluted her: "General, the envoy we sent is back. The Duke of Dark Night's answer is similar to the previous two times. We still want to abolish the previous agreement with our country." agreement, but this time, he said that he could allow us to take back some of the assets in Red Moon City and Dark Night City through negotiation..."

"I don't want to hear this. You've been with me for so long, and you can't even figure out the focus of your work?" The anxiety on the brigadier's face showed no sign of subsided, but became more intense. "How is Van Helsing's daughter doing now?"

Not long ago, the brigadier general stationed on the southern border received an order from Longshou Fort. Her Majesty the new Queen Zhenna ordered her to lead a team to escort a key figure to the country of death, Red Moon City, for negotiations - this person is the former of Red Moon City. Anne Roger, daughter of the city lord Van Helsing.

In the empire during the reign of Queen Fred, Red Moon City and Dark Night City were nominally ruled by a vampire duke supported by the empire, but in fact they became vassals of the empire. Fred established what he wanted in the two city-states. Arsenal to produce airship parts.

Afterwards, the empire suffered from large-scale dragon disasters in succession. The capital and the southern military base were attacked by the same ancient black dragon. Queen Fred and Prince Lucio died at the hands of a red dragon. Later, the capital of the Xihe Principality of the empire was destroyed by a blue dragon. .

After the new queen ascended the throne, the bloody duke seemed to feel that the empire had declined or could no longer care about the power of the south, so he boldly abrogated the previous agreement with the empire, hoping that he would essentially inherit Prince Aliu and The city-state of Prince Van Helsing.

Soon after she ascended the throne, Queen Zhenna intended to continue the previous agreement and proposed that Red Moon City return to the hands of its orthodox heir, Van Helsing's daughter Anne Roger.

Zhenna ordered the brigadier general on the southern border to lead troops to escort Anellojie and her death knights to the outside of Red Moon City, and sent an envoy to issue an ultimatum to Red Moon City. If the Duke still insisted on having his own way, the empire would Solve this matter with force.

But the brigadier apparently felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

"She is still in her tent, sleeping since morning. You know, vampires rarely move during the day." The lieutenant replied in a daze.

"Where are those death knights?" the brigadier asked.

"They were gathering together outside the tent, as if they were playing a...card game." The lieutenant replied hesitantly.

"Playing cards? Playing cards at this time?" The brigadier shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Didn't you send someone to find out?"

"Well, our people have no proper reason to approach. They don't even need to deliver food." The lieutenant defended with a confused look on his face. "And they haven't done anything suspicious so far."

He found that his superior had been abnormally anxious since he received this order. The brigadier seemed not to pay much attention to the mission of Red Moon City, but instead kept asking him to monitor Anne Luojie and the gang of death knights.

"There is nothing suspicious? The order we received was to prepare to attack Red Moon City if the negotiations failed. Do you believe that they are still in the mood to play cards at this time?" The brigadier general glared at the lieutenant, pressed his shoulder and asked, "Listen , they can plot anything while sitting together playing cards! They may take action at any time, this is related to our wealth and life, you must give me something to eat!"

"I-I don't quite understand General..." the lieutenant stammered back.

The brigadier general laughed at his reaction, and finally shook his head helplessly: "I can't believe I still need to explain this to you. What have you and I learned over the years!"

She pushed the lieutenant away, pointed at him and said sternly: "Do you really think our mission is to give the Red Moon City an ultimatum? Don't you see how many troops the central government has only allocated to us? We can't agree on things now. Are we going to attack Red Moon City with this small force?"

"But don't we have to go back and ask for instructions? More troops will definitely be sent in the future, and Anellojie Helsing and her death knights will also fight with us!" The lieutenant wanted to reassure his superiors. Make up your mind.

"Fight with us?" The brigadier general's reaction was like hearing a joke. She looked back and forth to make sure she didn't see any suspicious figures through the tent. She lowered her voice and said to the lieutenant, "You still don't understand, they are not here to take back the Red Army." Yue Cheng, is here to execute us! Don’t forget what we did under the order of Queen Fred!!”

"But, but... we are just following orders." The lieutenant was covered in cold sweat. "Yes, we are just tools, so after the owner changes, it is natural for the new owner to want to change a batch of tools, right?" the brigadier general said with a sneer.

Queen Fred once sent troops to support Prince Aliu of Dark Night City in attacking Red Moon City, which enabled Prince Aliu to successfully kill Prince Van Helsing, forcing Anne Roger to flee Red Moon City. The imperial troops were It was commanded by the brigadier general.

When Anne Luojie escaped, she also sent people to intercept her, but all the people who intercepted her were killed by Anne and her death knights.

In other words, from a certain perspective, she can be regarded as one of Anne Roger's father-killing enemies. Although Queen Fred is dead, as the commander of that battle, she still has reasons to be hated.

Moreover, after Emperor Tyrant II became seriously ill and Fred came to power, the factional struggle within the empire has been fierce. After Fred came to the throne, the political struggle did not subside but intensified.

This brigadier general has also experienced this kind of political struggle and survived it, so she is very keen on the trends above, even to the point of being a little suspicious.

But her ability to survive to this day and hold a high position is precisely because of this political sense, so she always believes in some of her worst expectations.

When Her Majesty Zhenna ordered her to carry out this mission with such a small force, she realized something was wrong. It was simply impossible for such a small force to take over Red Moon City. Her network of relationships in the army also showed that Her Majesty has no further plans to mobilize troops.

And somehow, the new queen actually got in touch with Anne Luojie, who had escaped from Red Moon City before, and sent her here.

The worst possibility she could think of was that this mission was simply a pretext used by the new queen to execute the generals who had been promoted during Queen Fred's reign to stabilize her rule. The executioner was Anne Luojie, the daughter of the Lord of Red Moon City. , in this way, you can easily sell the other party a favor, and afterwards you can claim that she was killed by the vampires of Red Moon City, and then the Queen will officially deal with the affairs of Red Moon City.

This made the Brigadier panic all day long. She wanted to escape now, but she hadn't figured out a way out yet. If she didn't escape, the Queen would have more reason to directly convict and execute her.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps approached quickly, and the herald of the camp rushed over and reported nervously outside the tent: "Report, report to the general, Count Ganouen has come to inspect! Please go and greet him!!"

Hearing this, the Brigadier felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

The newly named Earl of Ganoen is the red dragon who has a scandalous relationship with the Queen! His territory, north of Longkou Fortress, is now officially named after him in the empire.

Queen Fred and Prince Lucio died in his hands!

Could it be that Her Majesty Zhenna, or the red dragon behind her who is said to be controlling everything secretly, has noticed her intention to escape and is worried about the execution?

She is just a master-level warrior. Why does He De need a vampire duke and a red dragon that can kill legends to solve it together?

No matter what, if you don't run away now, you won't have any chance in the future! !

"Okay, you take someone to receive them right away. I'll be there later!" The brigadier general walked out of the tent calmly and ordered, preparing to leave the camp on horseback when he found an opportunity.

But she was stunned as soon as she came out of the tent, because she saw a tall man wrapped in a red cloak and striding towards here with a gloomy face.

I don’t know why, but that vampire, Anne Roger, was hanging on his back with her hands around his neck.

But the Brigadier couldn't notice Anne yet. She only saw the man's eyes shining like lava, the anger contained in them, and the pressure that made it hard for her to breathe.

"Oh, no..." Her trembling voice was almost a moan.

"General, I haven't finished speaking yet, the count has already arrived..."

The herald was still explaining in her ears, but she couldn't hear it now.
