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

Chapter 327 The Queen’s Plan

"Bishop Marcel openly... rebelled?"

When she learned that Bishop Marcel was on the list, Zhenna looked shocked.

"No, strictly speaking, he did not directly participate in the rebellion, but was connected with the three bishops who supported the rebel lords." Ganouen said.

"This is rebellion, at least for someone who is the emperor's sister. After the gendarmes catch him, he will have to wait in jail for the guillotine. The charge is treason." Anya said.

Ganon glanced at Anya and pinched her butt.

Anya immediately jumped up on his lap and complained loudly: "Hey, you said there was no need to hide it!"

"Then you should also pay attention to your wording." Ganon said.

"He shouldn't have been caught yet, right?" Zhenna asked.

"It's impossible for a bishop to be caught without news. That sister of yours is very tough. Anyone who opposes her will be dealt with in a high-profile manner, especially those with higher positions. Why, is this bishop an acquaintance of yours? There is no need to worry, right? These believers in the Holy Religion will definitely be protected as long as they escape to the Papal State." Anya said.

"Others can, but Bishop Marcel will never go to the Papal State." Ganouen shook his head.

"Why?" Anya was confused.

"Because he was originally responsible for keeping the artifacts given to the Empire by the Papal State. If he wanted to seek asylum in the Papal State, he would not be able to explain why he did not bring the artifacts with him." Ganon replied.

Bishop Marcel is in trouble for handing the artifact to them, and now, he is also wanted for being involved in political activities against the current queen. He is aware of the current internal political situation in the empire, and Ganon is now more concerned about this aspect. information.

Previously, he had been focusing on Dragon Ascension's Nest. He only cared about the empire's actions against him. But now, Dragon Ascension's Nest has taken action against the empire, and he has to pay attention to the situation on both sides at the same time.

He should try to find Bishop Marcel, both emotionally and logically.

"Then if he can't go to the Papal State, where will he go?" Anya asked smoothly.

As soon as the question came out, the eyes of the three people present met together, and they all had the answer.

"Anya, you should be clear about the entrance and exit of Dragon Head Fortress, right?" Ganon asked.

"Of course, we know the local smugglers." Anya nodded.

"Contact them and ask them to pay attention to a person. I will tell you the appearance of Bishop Marcel. Once there is news, protect him and I will find a way to get him out of the empire." Ganouen gave instructions.

Within the empire, in the office of a city hall, Queen Fred finally heard about what happened in Dragon Head Castle.

"Twenty thousand army casualties, six aerostats, the east city wall collapsed, the palace was destroyed, the gold stored in the treasury was looted...and we only killed two dragons?" Fred confirmed with the herald who reported.

"There are still two districts that have been severely damaged, with one hundred thousand civilian casualties, maybe... more, we are still counting." The herald reported.

There was a loud bang, and the herald shrank his shoulders in fright. Fred remained calm and glanced to the side.

The commander of the empire, Lucio smashed his fist into the table of his desk, and veins jumped out of his forehead like a swimming snake.

"How are the granaries and factories?" Fred continued to ask the herald, as if nothing had happened.

"Those places are relatively safe and the camouflage is in place, so everything is fine." The herald replied with lingering fear, glancing at Lucio from time to time.

"A blessing among misfortunes." Fred nodded, first waved to signal the herald to go down, and then turned around, "Isis."

"I am here, Your Majesty." The demon Isis, who serves as an advisor, saluted Fred. "Where do you think those dragons came from?" Fred asked.

"Black dragons don't have the habit of moving in groups, and there are many dragons of different colors mixed together. This is really abnormal. The group of blue dragons that appeared before may also be in the same group. Such a group of dragons should be in the north. It’s a very big territory, and it has been managed for so long without being discovered. It should be far away from us, I guess it should be in the desert.” Isis answered.

"A force composed of a large number of giant dragons?" Fred pondered.

"It's possible." Isis replied.

"That ancient black dragon is the mastermind?" Fred asked.

"It's hard to say. Maybe there is a more powerful existence behind it, but as far as I know so far, there is no such activity among the abyss lords." Isis said.

"So do you think it has anything to do with that red dragon?" Fred asked again.

"Maybe, maybe not. He didn't act together with the ancient black dragon, or took the opportunity to attack other important towns. Maybe they are not related," Isis said.

"But regardless of whether it's related or not, it's time to have to deal with it." Fred took the words and then ordered, "In this way, Isis, you will go to Dragon Head Castle for me first and preside over the reconstruction work. We will contact you through the contract. .”

"Understood." Isis did not hesitate at all to Fred's order.

But at this time Lucio made an opinion: "With all due respect, at such an urgent moment, don't you plan to return to Dragon Head Castle, Your Majesty?"

He raised his face and looked directly at Fred, his tone becoming much calmer.

"Now the people and soldiers in the capital need you, and they also need me." Lucio said seriously.

"The capital has been attacked once, and the possibility of being attacked again is very low. In such an emergency, what we should do is to advance the plan to win over the giants. Just in time, whether it is the red dragon or the ancient black dragon, Our enemies are all dragons," Fred said.

The empire has long been making plans to deal with the evil dragon entrenched in the northern part of the border. However, after two failed conquests, they realized that dealing with this red dragon seemed to require more preparation and more cost, and the empire had many higher priorities. Strategic policies must be implemented.

They postponed their plan to deal with the red dragon, but this does not mean that they have not made corresponding plans.

But now, with the sudden attack of an ancient dragon, Queen Fred realized that it was time to advance her dragon-slaying plan.

"I still think this is too risky." Lucio shook his head slightly.

"So I must go in person, and you must accompany me. With the key to the door of the abyss, we can come back at any time." Fred said, playing with the strange-shaped key hanging around his neck.

Lucio seemed to be hesitant. He and Fred looked at each other, thinking about how to say something.

"I am your queen, Lucio." Fred smiled, "Go and prepare the Conquest for liftoff."

"I understand." Lucio finally saluted, turned and left.

"The war is about to begin. I hope your majesty will allow me to replenish some souls." As soon as Lucio left, Isis asked Fred for instructions in a low voice.

"I will arrange a few more batches of rebels to improve your food, but I hope you will be of some use after you grow into a big devil." Fred replied calmly.

"You will definitely not be disappointed." Isis grinned.
