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

Chapter 381 Difficulties in Union

Two days later, the study room of the Imperial Palace.

"A great success, things are going in the direction we expected." Bishop Marcel walked back and forth in front of his desk, his face full of joy.

Across a table sat Zhenna, who was now the Queen of the Empire, while Ganon found a comfortable seat on the lounge chair next to her.

"Three lords have successively sent letters of allegiance with seals, including the Grand Duke of the Principality of Xihe, so the rest are just a matter of distance to send the letters." Bishop Marcel said with a smile.

The Principality of Xihe is relatively independent within the empire's sphere of influence. The current Grand Duke is still a confidant appointed by Fred personally after the death of Grand Duke Dipu.

Even the Grand Duke chose to be loyal to Zhenna, so basically the process of Zhenna inheriting the throne should not cause any further complications.

"I thought there might be a panic, maybe even a rebellion," Ganouen said.

"As I said before, no one would want to follow in the footsteps of the previous queen, and you don't seem to have anything to say, right? Our new captain of the guard?" Bishop Marcel said and smiled at Ganouen.

"Indeed, I don't believe any lord of the empire can be more troublesome than Fred." Ganon replied.

He was indeed not worried about any local lord openly opposing Zhenna. In fact, he single-handedly was enough to silence all the opposition.

"And most people, in order to avoid despair, tend to think positively about things, even if things look bad. Believe me, sir, after watching your performance, most people will convince themselves that you are the guardian of the empire." Ma. Bishop Serge said seriously to Ganouen.

"These words are particularly convincing coming from the mouth of a religious person." Ganouen nodded.

Bishop Marcel nodded appreciatively and looked at Zhenna: "You should have officially secured this position now, my majesty."

"Not necessarily." Ganon suddenly said, "Jena has inherited the throne, and the troubles that should have belonged to Fred will be on her head."

"Fred has so many troubles because of unrealistic ambitions, but Her Majesty Zhenna does not. As long as we arrange things properly, everything will be fine," Bishop Marcel said.

Ganon stood up and raised his hand to interrupt the other party: "This is not the trouble I'm talking about, but the threat from outside the civilized world."

"Those dragons you mentioned before?" Bishop Marcel blinked.

"We previously directed the Dragon Ascension Nest towards the Empire, but now that we have inherited the Empire's resources, we have to deal with them head-on from now on. I think you should have heard about the ancient black dragon." Ganon said.

Bishop Marcel fell silent.

The ancient black dragon Gale Sloan attacked the Dragon Head Castle and the military factory building the Queen's Long Live in the south, which made the people of the empire feel panic. After arriving at Ganon's place, he also had a certain understanding of the Dragon's Ascension Nest. This ancient dragon The black dragon is just the tip of the iceberg of this dragon disaster.

"You can manipulate the intelligence there, so you should be able to stop them, right?" Bishop Marcel asked tentatively.

"Only to a certain extent." Ganon shook his head slightly. "Gaerslon suffered a loss at the hands of Tyrast. Dragon Ascension's Nest will be more cautious in their actions, and their next attack should be postponed. It’s a lot, but it also means that their next attack will be fiercer than ever.”

Even the ancient black dragon Gale Sloan almost died. The Blue Dragon King's next large-scale operation will inevitably involve more powerful combat forces. Maybe it is the ancient green dragon Isendra, maybe he himself, or maybe... It's something else. The joy on Bishop Marcel's face gradually faded and was replaced by uneasiness.

He thought for a while and asked: "Mr. Ganouen, you are indeed the guardian of the empire now, right?"

"Of course, as long as Zhenna is on the throne, I will protect this country as much as possible." Ganon nodded, "But an ancient dragon can easily destroy a town, and my protection cannot cover the entire country at the same time."

"Then I really hope the battlefield can be chosen somewhere outside the empire." Bishop Marcel shook his head slightly.

They all know very well that, let alone the current strength of the empire, even the state of military preparations Fred held before may not have the strength to expedition into the desert to destroy Dragon Ascension's Nest.

"In fact, this should not be just a problem faced by a country in the Dragon Backbone Empire." Zhenna said, "Those giant dragons threaten the entire civilized world. I was thinking..."

"Unite other countries?" Bishop Marcel asked respectfully.

"Ganoen has influence in both Muxia and Nitrilan. If we can get the support of some big countries..." Zhenna said.

The most ideal development in Zhenna's vision is naturally to allow the various powerful forces on the continent, including the Empire, Mu Xia, the Elemental Federation, the Papal State and the Death Kingdom, to unite to eradicate the common hidden danger of Dragon Ascension Nest. .

Ganoen also thinks this is the safest. So far, Ganoen actually does not have the confidence to simply defeat the Blue Dragon King. He does not have a precise idea of ​​how strong the Blue Dragon King is.

And what worries him the most is not the Blue Dragon King, but the fake Baphomet hiding behind the Blue Dragon King - the latter is probably the culprit that caused the Endless Tower to break.

Bishop Marcel showed a surprised look, and then smiled helplessly:

"This is not that simple. If there is no real catastrophe, the two countries will basically never be monolithic... No, even if there is a real catastrophe, it will be the same. With the current situation, we can win some support from the Papal States. But other big countries still don’t even think about it.”

"If the empire alone has to bear the disaster caused by the three ancient dragons, the consequences...if the empire is destroyed or succumbs to the dragon, they will not be able to survive alone." Zhenna said.

"As I said before, people tend to think positively. Before the empire is destroyed or surrendered, they will only consider options to enjoy the benefits while both the empire and the dragon lose."

Bishop Marcel spread his hands, "The annoying neighbor's house is on fire. As long as the fire doesn't burn their own home, everyone will be more willing to take the opportunity to grab something from the neighbor's house. They may help put out the fire in the end, but I'm afraid it will be when the fire burns them. At home. This is not surprising. Considering the information gap, if the Elements Federation directly encountered this kind of thing, we would probably watch from the other side."

"I hope that among them there should be leaders with higher moral standards or leaders with a broader vision." Ganouen said.

"You can give it a try, but... don't have high hopes." Bishop Marcel said.

"First let's publish the information about Dragon Ascension's Nest through various channels." Ganon said.

As long as the fire doesn't burn his own home——Bishop Marcel's words reappeared in Ganouen's mind repeatedly.
