Don't mess with that dragon

Chapter 770 First Contact
creak creak
The old cart wheels were crushed on the road on both sides, and the skinny donkey in front was listless, dragging the old cart forward.

Two children in shabby clothes in the car sat on the pile of straw and looked around timidly.

Old Sean followed, waving his whip one after another to drive the donkey forward.

Under the dry and wrinkled face like the bark of an old locust tree, he stared at the smoky royal city in front of him. Even with his decades of life experience, it was difficult for him to make a decision.

not far ahead,
It is the royal city of the Principality of Koof, Bull City.

More than ten days ago, the Red Dragon Empire launched an invasion of the Principality of Koov. The hundreds of thousands of monster legions on the border were like a collapsing torrent, covering the sky and sweeping everything.

The North has fallen.

A large number of civilians fled to the south one after another, becoming a large number of refugees.

no way,
If it is the enemy of other countries, when the war breaks out, they will not do anything to the farmers in the occupied areas, and the vast fields still need to be cultivated by the farmers at the bottom.

To a certain extent, even if war breaks out, the victorious country will appease the civilians in the occupied areas to a certain extent, and limit the military's damage to the production at the bottom.

However, it was the Red Dragon Empire who attacked this time.

The main body is the war mainly carried out by the monster army under the command of the Calamity King.

monster,

It is bloodthirsty and chaotic in itself.

When the army went south, everything it went turned into ruins. At the same time, the war also aroused the bloodthirsty spirit in the monsters' chests. Hundreds of thousands of legions were difficult to manage, and they were still composed of monsters as the main body. Legion?
As a result, a large number of civilians were slaughtered in front of the monster army.

Field estates were burned.

Lost the material environment on which to survive, and faced a terrifying army of monsters.

Those who survived had to become refugees and fled south.

Old Sean and his two grandchildren were among the refugees from the Southward War.

It's just that compared with those refugees fleeing southward in embarrassment, Old Sean and his family are in a remote village fifty kilometers away from the king's city, so they didn't encounter those monster legions in the north, but fled southward. After the refugees heard the news, they planned to move out of the village and gather in the royal city to escape.

no way,
Hundreds of thousands of monster legions, in addition to the main powerful force, many of them are surrounded by huge groups of monsters such as the goblin race and goblins.

The mighty army is almost everywhere.

It is almost impossible to find a remote mountain village to escape the disaster of this war.

Compared to finding the mortal nest in the countryside, at least the defense of Wangcheng is many times stronger than it.

So, after learning more news from the refugees fleeing southward, and knowing that the monster legion of the Red Dragon Empire in the north is moving southward rapidly and will soon spread to the nearby area, Old Sean hurriedly packed his things and took The grandson and granddaughter dragged a cart with an old donkey at home and walked towards the royal city.

however,
When he was about to arrive at the King City of Koof, and the entire tall city wall of the king's capital was already in sight, Old Sean felt a little regretful.

Because he saw that within the royal city, puffs of black gunpowder smoke were rising.

War, rebellion!
It is very likely that Wangcheng and the like have rebelled!
"It's troublesome, I hope the situation is not too bad."

Old Sean frowned,
He sighed in his heart.

If the rebellion in the royal city has not subsided, then a chaotic city may not be safer than the countryside.

but,

What else can I do?

Old Sean glanced at his grandchildren on the broken scooter,
The parents of the two children died in a monster attack not long after they were born. Fortunately, old Sean was a hunter before he came to this remote frontier area to reclaim the fields.

Picking up those sealed old buddies again, relying on a wealth of knowledge and experience and a certain set of cheap breathing techniques, Old Sean barely pulled the two children up.

but,

Over the years, old Sean has grown old, and every time he enters the mountain, he feels powerless.

What's more, in the current turmoil, the monster army from the Red Dragon Empire in the north invaded. In this crisis of destroying the country, what can an old guy do?

Ugh!
with a long sigh,
Thinking about something.

"Grandpa, why don't you come up and sit down for a while, we can hurry on our way."

A childish voice came from the cart behind me,
Turning his head, the grandson and grandson looked at him with innocent eyes.

Shows caring.

"Haha, two little guys, grandpa isn't too old to walk!"

Old Sean laughed heartily, and put his hands on the heads of the two children.

The wrinkled face was almost cracked.

one way or another,

Until they can't move, Old Sean will still protect them!

The gate of the royal city ahead is already in sight,

The flow of people kept pouring into the royal city, and Old Sean was about to take out a few copper coins from his pocket, ready to endure the difficulties and extortions of the soldiers at the gate of the city.

however,
Those soldiers standing tall and straight at the gate of the city,

There is no obstacle at all to the entry fee, it seems that they are simply staying there.

Simultaneously,

Traces of war can be seen in the royal city, but the overall order is orderly. On the streets that are being rebuilt after the chaos, there are no hooligans and scum who take advantage of the fire to loot.

In chaos,

Yet it seemed orderly.

"Is this the suppression of the rebellion? Strange, what is the situation?"

Until this moment, Old Sean suddenly remembered that when entering the city, it seemed that the guards didn't stop the hungry and cold refugees and let them in directly.

What's happening here?
Not to mention the royal city, it is an ordinary town, and generally not too many refugees are allowed to enter, so as not to bring security risks.

Strange, strange!
As he was thinking about this, he saw a slightly strange team running quickly in front of him, guiding the influx of people into the square. At the end of the square, the smell of food wafted in the air.

Old Sean realized that something was wrong, so he asked the people around him.

It turned out that when the rebel army was about to attack the royal city last night, reinforcements from the Blue Dragon Kingdom entered the city, easily suppressed the rebellion, and took over the city defense rule of the royal city.

Only now did Old Sean, who lived in the countryside and rarely went to the city, know that their Principality of Koov had announced their surrender to the Blue Dragon Kingdom not long ago!

The Principality of Kooff no longer exists, they are now the subjects of the country called the Blue Dragon Kingdom!
This made Old Sean a little dumbfounded.

Because this is the first time he heard the name of the Blue Dragon Kingdom,

It's just that for the time being, he doesn't have so much time to learn about everything about the Blue Dragon Kingdom, because in the square, after the Dragon Nest army suppressed the rebellion of the nobles, they took out a large amount of confiscated food and distributed free food on the square The action has begun.

Everyone was busy getting free food, and not many people were willing to share those things with an old man.
