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

Chapter 352 A tough battle

The Endless Tower, the tower owner’s guest room.

"So Mu Xia can't help us this time?" Ganouen stared at Lampard, the prince of Mu Xia in front of him, with a solemn expression.

"We can provide all the defensive forces in the three towns in the west, under the overall command of the Border Guard Chief Jamil..." Lampard replied cautiously.

Ganon's brows furrowed tightly upon hearing this.

The empire is preparing intensively for the conquest of Ganon, and Ganon is also seizing the time to assemble defensive forces.

The first thing he thought of was his long-standing ally. When he faced the last attack by the coalition forces of the Empire and Dark Night City, Princess Patrice of Muxia led the army to help him drag down a vampire prince who was holding an artifact.

So this time, he still hopes that Mu Xia can provide the same level or even more assistance, because the enemies they will face this time may not be of the same magnitude as last time.

However, what he didn't expect was that Mu Xia was very embarrassed by his request for help, and Prince Lampard personally visited to reply to him.

Mu Xia provided assistance, but it could be said that it was far less than last time. Considering that this time they had to face the empire's giant foreign aid that could suppress the ancient dragon, combat power above the extraordinary and legendary realms became extremely important.

But this time, Princess Patriz didn't seem to be planning to fight.

"Please listen to my explanation!" Seeing that the other party had something to say, Lampard quickly raised his hand, "We encountered some problems. We signed a treaty with the Empire before, and the mining area in the southern part of Breeze Forest was forced to cede to the Empire. The Empire. They just promised in writing that they would not use troops again, but they have been stationing troops in the mining area. And since the day before yesterday, they have sent at least 50,000 additional troops there, and they are still increasing. When we went to negotiate, the reason they gave was... military exercises. "

Ganon began to recall that in fact, Anya had previously given information about the empire gathering a large number of troops to the north. The size and overall quality of the troops showed that they were not suitable for participating in dragon slaying, but more suitable for siege.

Ganon originally guessed that it was to set up a stronghold to prepare for the expedition to the deserts of some nomads in the northwest, especially for Nitrilan, where the dark elves gathered - after all, Anya's spies had been exposed due to death, and they It must be realized that the dark elves of Nitrilan may be involved in this matter.

But he didn't expect that they would use this army to threaten Mu Xia.

The drill was of course an excuse to deceive the children. They gathered a large number of troops on the land ceded in late summer, and no matter how they looked at it, they were going to launch another invasion.

By doing this at this juncture, their purpose is obvious.

A deterrent against Mu Xia. Once it is confirmed that Mu Xia's heavy troops support the Red Dragon's territory, it means that Mu Xia's local defenders have become weak, and the army gathered here is likely to launch an attack. Mu Xia's behavior of supporting "the Red Dragon that attacked the Principality of Xihe" can also be used as a reason for the empire to break the treaty and invade again.

The empire had enough troops to attack two places, but Mu Xia was unable to spread its combat power to attack two places.

Considering that the empire may launch a full-scale invasion, the situation becomes the same as during the original war - instead of saying that Ganouen needs Muxia's support to defend their territory, it is better to say that Muxia needs Ganouen to defend them. Live in the territory on the west side.

"The intelligence on my side shows that the imperial people's real target is my territory, and the troops gathered there are more likely to be intimidating. If my side is breached, your western border will be threatened again. ." Ganon said in a deep voice.

"We can't afford to gamble when the southern defense line is breached. Both sides are gambles. We can only allocate resources properly." Prince Lampard looked embarrassed. "We also observed the participation of Beishan dwarves on the border, and ceded territory. After that, we lost our original defense resources, and the risk was really too great.”

"Beishan dwarf?" Ganon frowned slightly.

The old dwarf verbally promised not to send troops to his territory with the empire, but the threat to Mu Xia was indeed not part of the promise.

Moreover, his promise not to send troops here should not be taken too seriously.

"Where's the support from the Elemental Federation?" Ganon asked again.

"It takes time. It's faster than before. It's not enough for us to send out the kind of support you want in a short time." Lampard replied. Of course, Lampard also knew that Ganouen wanted the kind of support like last time, with his mother driving and marching in person.

Faced with the threat of invasion from the empire, it was almost impossible for Mu Xia to let Patriz, who was the backbone of the army, lead the most elite troops to defend lands outside the country.

After experiencing previous wars, the Elemental Federation has already begun to assist Mu Xia in building defenses. If a war breaks out, the Elemental Federation's support should come quickly, but the Empire will definitely complete the attack on Ganon's territory before then.

All in all, it was already impossible for Patriz to appear in the defense force of the Endless Tower at that time, because the empire's seriousness this time was completely different from before.

"I understand, then let's each do our part." Seeing this, Ganouen knew that there was no point in continuing to entangle.

After seeing Lampard off, Isabel walked into the reception room and asked Ganouen in a low voice: "Won't the queen come?"

"There is no way." Ganouen shook his head, "It seems that we can only try our luck on the other side. Do you want to go with us?"

Isabel immediately understood what Ganon meant and nodded: "Okay."

They set off immediately and soon arrived at Angost's residence outside the territory.

"It seems like...not there?" Isabel looked around. No one was here to keep watch or report like before. It would be better to say that not a single person could be seen. Isabel's perception did not detect anything except her and Ganouen. The breath of other higher creatures.

The building was empty.

"It's not that she's not here, it's that she ran away." Ganouen sighed, turned into a human form, and pointed at the door of Angost's house, "Look, she also left a note."

Then he went over and took off the note and read:

"I informed the Night Blade family in advance that Nitrilan's support will arrive soon. But as for me, you must have expected that you would not be able to find me.

This matter should not be included in what I promised, and I have confidence in you. Come on, dear Ganon, I wish you success in unscrewing the head of the Queen of the Empire.

In addition, the new manuscript is in the mailbox and forwarded to Bell.

——Angostelius"

"It's indeed expected." Ganon sighed.

With Angost's intelligence gathering ability, it was impossible not to notice that the empire was preparing to attack Ganon's territory. She thought that Ganon might come to help, so she packed her bags and ran away in advance.

Although she agreed to help liberate the Night Blade family (under certain conditions), and assisting Ganon in repelling the empire's offensive was not in the scope of her willingness to risk helping, she still put herself as the top priority.

In the past few times when she helped, she would sign a membership contract with the Endless Tower out of convenience, but she would terminate the contract without hesitation once the matter was over, and she had been careful to maintain an aloof relationship with the forces of the Endless Tower.

Ganouen only received limited support from both the Muxia and Yeren families. The overall military strength was actually not very small, but there was no foreign aid at the legendary level.

Therefore, on the battlefield of top combat power, facing Lucio, Fred, and the super-sized Titan, we can only rely on the powerful people of the same size in the Endless Tower to deal with them.

As for the empire's strategic weapon airship, Ganon can only pray that the secret weapon they developed can have the desired effect.

I'm afraid this will be a tough battle.
