As a result, the Dragon Kingdom also received funding from other human countries and barely managed to balance its income and expenditure.
But now the kingdom has fallen into civil strife, and is unable to spare the hands and money to aid the Dragon Kingdom, which has caused a huge gap in the Dragon Kingdom's finances this year.
That's why De Luo Dilong had to ask his most trusted prime minister how to deal with such a situation.
The Prime Minister of the Dragon Kingdom thought for a while, and then the wise old man slowly spoke to Derodilon:
"...Your Majesty, since the Dragon Kingdom no longer has enough money to reward those mercenaries, we can try not to reward them."
When De Luo Di Long heard the Prime Minister's words, she said thoughtfully: "...Not to them last time? Prime Minister, what you mean is..."
The old man smiled at the Black Scale Dragon King in front of him and said slowly: "...Just as your Majesty the Queen thinks."
"We can hire mercenaries who require us to reward them with a large amount of money to complete some difficult tasks~〃."
De Luo Dilong understood what the prime minister meant. He wanted those mercenaries to die, and as long as the mercenaries died, the Dragon Kingdom would not have to pay them any more.
But the Black Scale Dragon King shook his head and said, "...Although this method is useful in the short term, those mercenaries are not fools. They will definitely find out the clues."
The Prime Minister nodded slowly and said, "...so we can make it so that no one can find any clues."
"We can trick those mercenaries into a small town, and then use those sub-humans to completely massacre the town."
"Your Majesty, you have given so much to this country. It is time for some people to give back to this country and to you."
"Those mercenaries will never believe that you would sacrifice your own people. No one will doubt you."
"Of course, the city must be chosen carefully, preferably one that is remote, unimportant, and sparsely populated."
"There's no need for us to suffer too much loss just for those mercenaries."
The suggestion made by the Prime Minister was quite cold and cruel, but although Delodilon, as the queen of the Dragon Kingdom, looked childish and petite, she actually had a very mature character.
As a mature queen and a political figure, Derodilon certainly knows that certain things can be sacrificed for the future and development of the entire country.
Even she herself could be a sacrifice.
As a queen, she must never show mercy. The same goes for the saying that a kind person cannot command an army.
De Luo Di Long was tempted, but she couldn't help but ask: "... Prime Minister, is there any other way?"
The Prime Minister thought for a moment and nodded, "...Of course there are other methods, but the initiative of these methods will no longer be in our hands."
"I know that Your Majesty hates those mercenaries. I hate them too. They are greedy and not only want to get our country's gold coins, but also want to get their hands on Your Majesty."
"But not all mercenaries are as greedy as them. There are some elite steel-level mercenary teams that have their own glory. Perhaps we can hire them with very little money."
"Even if it's just a small team of Elite Steel mercenaries, they are far more useful than a regiment of ordinary mercenaries."
"But it remains to be seen whether those elite steel mercenary teams will accept our employment."
"In addition to them, we can also pray to the Silian Theocracy. The Silian Theocracy is a human supremacist, and our actions to resist subhumans are in line with their doctrines."
"I believe that the Silian Theocracy is willing to give us enough help, but this help must come at a price. I don't know if we can afford that price."
The Prime Minister paused at this time. He looked a little hesitant, but in the end he was determined and said to the Black Scale Dragon King:
"…Your Majesty, we don't need to defend the gates of the human kingdom with the whole nation's strength for the sake of other countries."
"Resisting foreign invasion should be the common goal and responsibility of all human countries."
"If it really comes to a point where nothing can be done, we can try to negotiate with the orcs. We are willing to give them the way and allow them to invade the territories of the empire and the kingdom."
"We can also let the Empire and the Kingdom know how terrifying that million-strong orc army is."
"But there is one thing we cannot control, and that is that the orcs are not trustworthy. Even if we sign a contract with them, they may still massacre the Dragon Kingdom after passing through the fortress."
"The second is that if our deal with the orcs is exposed, the Dragon Kingdom will probably cease to exist."
“So this is a last resort.”
At the end, the old Prime Minister also sighed deeply. This is the tragedy of a weak country. They have no room for resistance and no extra choices.
Even though they knew that they were actually defending other countries against the crazy invasion of those sub-races, they had to do so as long as they still wanted the country to exist.
De Luo Dilong pursed her moist red lips, and the queen (Ma Zhao Zhao) who looked young in appearance but mature in heart stood up from her throne.
She walked down the steps into the hall and paced back and forth, seemingly pondering her decision.
In the end, Derodilon felt that perhaps the first plan was the best. At the cost of sacrificing a small number of citizens, he could secretly leak information and let the orcs kill the mercenaries.
After the creditor died, the Dragon Kingdom no longer had to pay any money.
But there is also a problem. Those mercenary teams that can make the Dragon Kingdom pay a large reward are also very powerful.
If we lose them, it will be difficult to resist the invasion of orcs.
Financial and military problems completely troubled Derodilon.
Just as the Black Scale Dragon King was thinking about how to overcome the current difficulties, a voice suddenly sounded in the hall:
"...If you kneel down to me, submit to me, believe in me, and change your country according to my will, then I will grant you the power to do whatever you want in this world!"
Chapter 18 No One Can Stop Him, Not Even God!
The sudden sound in the hall startled the Black Scale Dragon King Derodilon and the Prime Minister of the Dragon Kingdom.
They suddenly looked towards the throne and saw that at some point, a person had sat on the throne that belonged to Derodilon.
That person had an incredibly noble face, and he looked down upon the world with a cold expression. His aura that could not be described in words was overwhelming in this palace.
Just by looking at Him, both the Black Scale Dragon King and the Prime Minister of the Dragon Kingdom felt dizzy.
It was as if you were staring at some great being; if you stared at it for just one more second you would go completely crazy.
When this thought arose in their minds, De Luodilong and the prime minister quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at that noble face.
An uncontrollable fear rose from the deepest part of their souls. It was a trembling from the instinct of life and an oppression that made the soul and flesh want to kneel down and surrender.
"You... No, who are you?!"
Drodilon asked in fear, his teeth chattering.
She felt a power in 477 that was even more terrifying than her great-grandfather, the Seven-Colored Dragon King.
It was as if just a glance from the other party could shatter one's soul and turn the country upside down.
This is because Saigo tried his best to suppress his spiritual power and tried to maintain an appearance similar to that of a human descended from heaven to appear here.
Otherwise, if Saigo really showed his two-digit true form, when De Luodilong and the prime minister saw Him, they would have completely turned into lunatics.
Even this world would completely collapse when it looked directly at His two-digit true form.
Just because Saigo's spiritual level is enough to accommodate the pluralistic universe, He Himself has risen to become one of the universal truths.
"My name is Zarathustra, but you can also address me as the Supreme Being, as my servants do."
Saigo sat on the throne of the Black Scale Dragon King. He held his chin with one hand and looked down at the young-looking Dragon King girl with a condescending attitude.
"Supreme One?"
Hearing this somewhat exaggerated title, Derodilon could not utter any laugh. She even felt that perhaps only such a title could barely suit this great being.
The Prime Minister of the Dragon Kingdom was already kneeling on the ground, unable to get up. This wise old man had lost all his intelligence at this moment, and was left with only the most instinctive surrender and kneeling.
Only in this way can I barely suppress the panic and confusion in my heart.
Why, why does this world have such a monster? Even the so-called strongest Platinum Dragon King seems too small in front of this existence.
Even the six great gods from a thousand years ago and the eight desire kings from 500 years ago could never compare with the supreme being before them.
For some reason, even though Delodilon had never seen the six gods and the eight desire kings, she had such a thought and believed it firmly.
That was the ultimate evil, an evil that seemed to cover the entire world and corrupt it completely.
Derodilon even felt that if this Supreme Being leaked even a trace of His aura, it would be enough to completely destroy the world.
This is the instinct of all living beings when facing evil gods.
"Supreme One...you...what are you doing here?"
Derodilon couldn't control her brain. She couldn't even think here or make any thoughtful speeches. She could only say what she wanted to say most in her heart.
Because all lies seem to have lost their meaning here.
"I will give you a chance for redemption, Black Scale Dragon King Drodilon."
"This may be your only chance in this life, but whether you can seize it depends on you."
Saigo looked with interest at the queen in front of him, who was trembling, childish and cute on the outside, but quite mature and wise on the inside.
As a half-blood dragon king, her strength is obviously no different from that of an ordinary person, but she is able to sit on the throne of queen and is even called the true dragon king by the church.
Delodilon has her own methods and is a hero in this world, which is enough to make Saigo look at her a little differently.
Even though this was just a trivial glance from Xixiang, it was enough to make De Luodilong proud and proud.
"A chance for redemption?"
De Luo Dilong had already guessed what Xi Xiang wanted to do, but she couldn't guess how Xi Xiang was going to do it.
"The power of external things is ultimately false. Only your own power and strength belong to you."
"Although you are called the Dragon King and possess the most powerful original magic, you are no different from a weak human being."
"You have no power that is truly your own."
"As I said before, I will grant you power, a power so strong that you can do whatever you want in this world."
"All you have to do is submit to me, kneel before me, believe in me, and let the holy fire of Zoroaster burn in your kingdom."
"You are still the queen, but you are only my queen. You must transform this country according to my will."
"If you are truly a qualified queen and are willing to save your people, this is your only chance in this life."
"Tell me, what is your choice, Derodilon!"
The Black Scale Dragon King knelt on the ground with his slender white legs, leaving red marks on his white knees.
Her Majesty the Queen actually knew that although the Supreme Being before her seemed to have given her options, in reality she had no choice at all.
She didn't dare to test the power of this Supreme Lord. She only knew one thing: even if she rejected this Supreme Lord, His will would still come upon this country.
No one can stop her, not even God! .
Chapter 19: Pleiades Combat Maid Group Attacks
The border fortress city of the Dragon Kingdom is the most important city in the Dragon Kingdom, with high walls, deep moats and solid rock.
This city was built on a narrow corridor between two mountains. It can be said that it is a one-man-block pass against ten thousand. It is precisely because of the existence of this city that sub-human races other than human forces cannot invade the Dragon Kingdom.
At the same time, this is also the place where the largest number of soldiers from the Dragon Kingdom gather. The Black Scale Dragon King Drodilon has sent almost all the strong men loyal to the Dragon Kingdom here.
Especially those precious magicians, there are people stationed here at all times, and the entire city has become impregnable after years of management.
Various magic defense nodes can be seen in the city, which are densely distributed but each has its own function. In this way, even if someone really betrays the Dragon Kingdom, it will be difficult to destroy the entire city’s defense system.
As long as this fortress city exists, those sub-races will never be able to attack here.
On this day, the entire fortress city was filled with the sound of gongs and drums. Residents living in this city took to the streets, excitedly looking at the widest road in the center of the city.
Today is the day when Her Majesty Drodilon, the Queen of the Dragon Kingdom, inspects the fortress city. This is the most important city to the Dragon Kingdom, and Drodilon comes here to inspect it once a year.
That not only shows his care for this city, but also wants to suppress some villains to prevent someone from having other intentions and thus affecting the national defense of the Dragon Kingdom.
The petite Derodilon, with long pink hair tied in two ponytails, was sitting in the carriage.
The black-scaled dragon king smiled an innocent smile and waved to the citizens on both sides of the road from the carriage, welcoming their cheers.
Drodilon is very prestigious in the Dragon Kingdom, but Her Majesty the Queen does not rely on her own dignity, but on her innocent and pure appearance.
Because De Luo Dilong knew that his strength was not strong. Although he had dragon blood, he was no different from an ordinary person.
In addition, her appearance has an innocent quality. If she wants to rule the country by relying on her own majesty, she will fail from the very beginning.
Therefore, Delodilon did the opposite and used her naive appearance to make all the people like her.
To put it simply, De Rodilon turned herself into a national idol, which enabled her to rule the country as a queen.
After receiving cheers from the people, De Luodilong came to the city lord's mansion and accepted a simple hospitality from the city lord.
Although he is called the city lord, the actual ruler here is an old general whom Delodilon trusts most besides the prime minister.
Only soldiers like this can be stationed in this border city and guard the country's territory from infringement.
