Don't mess with that dragon

Chapter 689 I Can't Understand
How much combat power can such an army that has been infiltrated by the aristocratic interests in all aspects still have?Can it protect Frandi Wangcheng?
In this regard, not many people have much hope.

However, the current situation is that there is only such a guard army that is the strongest military force in the royal city.

All the nobles present were silent.

This situation was caused by them alone, and the strength of the Guards was extremely corrupted by them. However, these are unspoken rules that have been tacit since ancient times. If you don't do it, others will do it.

In order not to damage his own interests, he can only participate in this feast.

As a result, the guards defending the royal city continued to decline.

"According to the news circulating in the south, many aristocratic families have been wiped out in cities captured by the outside army. The orcs of the Blue Dragon Kingdom seem to be unwilling to have any former aristocratic forces appear in their territories."

Suddenly, a loud voice sounded in the meeting.

Another moment of silence.

no one answered,
Because no one has the heart to respond.

Every noble and lord present felt an extremely heavy pressure on their hearts.

for a long time,

There was a low whisper, full of helpless complaints.

"That damned blue dragon, that group of orcs who will always be lowly, how could they do this! They know how to manage those pariahs. It is not that there were no giant dragons who started a huge war before and gathered a huge force, but they Didn’t they all fail! Only the red dragon in the west accepted our existence and helped him rule the many families under his command, so that the country can be established stably!”

Saying this now is nothing more than a helpless and incompetent complaint.

In history, there are indeed giant dragons who once gathered huge family forces, but they all failed because they only knew how to expand and did not know how to farm and manage.

The red dragon in the west of Middle-earth was an accident.

Because the red dragon gathered a large number of family members and captured a country, it did not carry out massacres and wanton destruction, but accepted the noble management class in it, and finally allowed its forces to barely continue to exist and survive.

however,
The enemy they are facing now, the blue dragon Austin who manipulates everything behind the scenes and has not given up his real body until now, is different from any dragon in the past.

Even the Dragon Nest family system under its command, these gentlemen from the medieval aristocratic class can't understand it at all.

These nobles naturally knew something about the country established by the blue dragon.

Especially a year ago,

After the dragon nest orc army broke through the border Great Wall, and then wiped out several probing attacks from the southern countries, the reputation of the Blue Dragon Kingdom resounded throughout the southern countries.

You must know that in order to prevent the orc army from going north, several countries used the excuse of ransacking the homes of the greedy nobles who were the culprits, but they could not fully make up for the huge gap in the expansion of the army and the defense line, so they had to increase the war tax nationwide.

The increased war tax made the people who were already living in poverty due to natural disasters even more impoverished, and also led to more news dissemination, which accelerated the flow of disaster victims during this period of time.

Whether it is the folks or the upper class of the nobles, they all have heard and understood about the blue dragon kingdom in the south.

It is inevitable,

That sharp sword hanging above your head threatens the security of the southern countries all the time. As the saying goes, the person who knows you best is not yourself, but your opponent. How could it be possible that such a big thing as the breach of the Great Wall at the border would not cause these problems itself? Discussion of a populace deprived of entertainment.

In addition, the invasion of various industrial and commercial products of the Blue Dragon Kingdom over the years.

Many of the luxury goods of these aristocrats are produced in the country of the blue dragon. More than a year ago, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces invaded the Kava Forest, but it turned out to be this war. The invasion of the Blue Dragon Kingdom fuse.

It is precisely because of this,
All aspects of the Blue Dragon Kingdom, such as attracting the sons of some big businessmen and family bastards, many adventurers are the civil servants who can pass the exam and become officials. They also know something about it.

In their view, the Blue Dragon Kingdom is simply seeking its own death by doing this.

They know best the extent of the greed of those lowly untouchables.

Once these guys without aristocratic honor are promoted, no matter how oppressed they have been before, they will use more brutal methods to oppress the untouchables who are also serfs.

Those guys don't have any sense of propriety, righteousness and shame at all, and they are sent to collect taxes. If no one is sent to watch, then the output of that place will be at least half less than next year.

Because of the places where they collected taxes, they either resisted on the spot and were beaten to death, or they could not survive the winter of that year.

These aristocrats, who claim to be born with noble blood, are born to be lords who graze the land for the king and rule the people. This idea is not unreasonable.

In this class-solidified world, the family has passed it down from generation to generation, letting them know how to manage the local people extensively, collect taxes, and how to control the scales so that those lowly humanoid animals can squeeze out the last drop of sweat without being unable to survive.

From their experience,

The blue dragon kingdom is managed in such a mess without the aristocrats on its behalf, it is simply courting death.

This,
This is also one of the reasons why the southern countries did not immediately organize an elite army to counterattack and take back the Great Wall in the past year.

In the eyes of the vast number of gentlemen who think they are naturally noble, the kingdom of the blue dragon can only show its power for a while, and it is estimated that it will collapse naturally in a short time.

As long as the line of defense is established, and when the blue dragon country collapses by itself, it will naturally be able to recover the Great Wall at the border by sending troops south, and take the opportunity to obtain greater benefits.

In fact, most of the high-level leaders in the southern countries think this way.

then,

They failed to wait for the collapse of the Blue Dragon Kingdom, but they waited for the Dragon Nest army.

Incredibly ironic.

I really can't figure it out,
Why, without their existence, not only did the kingdom of the blue dragon not collapse, but it became more and more powerful?

I don't understand.

Just within the royal city, various forces and classes have different thoughts, and the undercurrent in the city is raging.

at this time,

The black carriage, guarded by a team of elite knights, came to a remote manor.

The curtain of the carriage is lifted,

King Rufus alighted from the carriage,

Looking at the peaceful manor in front of me,
Standing silently, not knowing what to think.

Soon,
The butler of the manor came out and quickly ushered King Rufus in.
