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

Chapter 385 The man behind the empire

In the Dragon's Head Fort Palace of the Dragon Spine Empire, Ganon sat alone in his study, calmly trying to contact the Elf King Orfield who was far away in Twilight Forest City in the late summer.

"Rejected?" Ganon confirmed to the other party.

"It's not as simple as rejection." Offfield replied calmly, "Compared with the unconfirmed dragon disaster, the Parliament of the Elemental Federation is now more concerned about the sudden friendship between Mu Xia and the Empire."

Ganon tried to spread the information about Dragon Ascension Lair through various channels, hoping that the empire could receive support from various countries on the mainland.

Among these big countries, he is most concerned about the Elemental Federation.

The Federation of Elements is a big country that was born out of the Winter Empire, the strongest country in the past. Its overall strength is not inferior to that of the Dragon Spine Empire. Moreover, like the Empire and Mu Xia, they are located in the north of the civilized world. Although they are not as close to the Great Desert as the Empire, in theory, the direct threat from the Dragon Ascension Nest can also cover them.

"The friendship between Mu Xia and the Empire is to deal with the dragon disaster, and it will not threaten them at all." Ganon emphasized.

"Well, yes, you know this and I know it. The problem is how to make them believe it." Offfield said.

"That's why I specifically asked you to be the intermediary. I know that you have a close relationship with the Elemental Federation." Ganon said.

The mother of the Elf King Offfield and the former princess of Mu Xia came from a powerful family among the high elves of the Elemental Federation. She is currently the speaker of the Parliament of the Elemental Federation. The legendary mage is Offfield's teacher and also his uncle.

Part of the reason why Mu Xia was able to quickly receive support from the Elemental Federation when it was invaded by the Empire was because of Offfield's connection with the Elemental Federation.

"The problem actually isn't with me, it's with you. They believe in me, but they can't believe in you. They know your existence. Do you think they will believe that there is a red dragon who wants to organize the civilized world to selflessly fight against a group of dragons, or will they believe in incompetence? King Mu Xia was kidnapped or deceived by a powerful red dragon?" Offfield said.

"You don't have to say that about yourself, Your Majesty the King..." Ganon said.

"The most critical point is that this so-called Dragon's Nest has not really threatened the Federation of Elements itself. Even if they confirm its existence, they will only wait and see for the time being. The fire will burn the empire first, which is a big problem for them. It's a good thing, in their eyes, it's not too late to save the fire until late summer," Offfield said.

"It will be too late by then." Ganon replied coldly.

"They don't realize that. The threat is too far away, and in their imagination, your threat is closer. In fact, there is a worse situation, that is, among the members of the Elemental Federation, some people speculate that you are related to those dragons. ." Offfield said.

Ganon was about to refute, but found that he had nothing to refute.

From the perspective of the Elemental Federation, a red dragon that dominated the empire and had huge influence in Late Summer was indeed not only suspicious, but also a huge threat.

"I will try to talk to them again, as much as possible." Orfield ended the topic with this sentence, and at the same time hinted to Ganouen not to have too much hope, "Oh, by the way, Isabel slipped away from the palace without permission. ”

"Yes, she returned to the tower yesterday." Ganon replied.

The day before, he had received a cry from Isabel asking him to go back early. Similar contacts were sent to Anne almost every day. She even wanted to run directly to the empire, but considering that she was discovered as a vampire, It would be troublesome to enter and leave the palace, so Ganon persuaded him.

Anya had to contact him every day because she had to compile intelligence. She only occasionally asked him "casually" why he was going back.

Mo La was relatively careless and didn't bother him at all. She only had one night when she was drunk and she insisted on chatting with him for most of the night.

The more objects there are, the more time it takes to make a phone call.

"Tell her that her mother is a little angry and ask her to be mentally prepared next time. That's it. I wish you the best." Offfield cut off the contact after saying that.

"This girl is really reckless in doing things." Ganouen thought to himself.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Bishop Marcel's voice sounded outside: "Your Excellency, is it convenient now?"

After being conferred the status of a royal knight and the official position of personal bodyguard by the successor Queen Zhenna, Ganouen also received the title of earl according to the procedure.

This noble status did not give him a fief, but the empire fully recognized the legitimacy of his territory, so that the few villages in his territory no longer had to rely solely on smuggling and espionage activities and the empire's borders. "Come in and talk," Ganon replied.

Bishop Marcel opened the door and came in. Ganouen immediately asked: "How is it in the Papal State?"

"The Papal State..." Bishop Marcel said hesitantly, after a long pause, "They say they are willing to provide some humanitarian support for the disasters we encounter."

"Do you mean to send us away? What we need is not humanitarian relief, but real military support. An army that can slay dragons!" Ganon frowned.

It would be best to have a legendary strong man, he added in his heart.

The empire actually does not need any material support. Although the losses caused by Gale Sloan's two raids were serious, they were far from shaking the empire's economy. In comparison, Fred's previous military operations The cost is still higher.

“I communicated our needs clearly and this is their response,” Bishop Marcel replied with a look of regret.

It seems that the Papal State's position is similar to that of the Elemental Federation, and they will not easily help.

Maybe it would be more realistic to follow Fred's route of fully strengthening the army, rely on military strength to make other countries surrender before the operation of Dragon's Nest, and then jointly deal with the threat of Dragon's Nest - Ganon couldn't help but make such an irony idea.

"It's even worse with the Kingdom of Death. We haven't had much contact with them in the first place. Our envoys haven't replied yet. Red Moon City and Dark Night City, which had previously established diplomatic relations, also broke away from the Empire after the death of His Majesty Fred. trend,” said Bishop Marcel.

"I remember that the current city lord there should be a vampire duke?" Ganon asked.

"Yes, he proposed to abrogate most of the previous agreements with the empire on the grounds that they were signed with the previous queen." Bishop Marcel said.

After the death of Prince Aliu, Fred supported a vampire duke who was a relative of Prince Aliu to serve as the city lord and controlled the two city-states. It seemed that the new city lord wanted to get rid of the empire as soon as Fred died. Under the control of Prince Aliu, he fully inherited the Dark Night City and the Red Moon City left by Van Helsing.

This guy probably doesn't know who controls the empire now.

"Don't worry, I will take Anello Jie to resolve this matter when I have time." Ganouen replied calmly.

The worst possible outcome would be to directly kill this ignorant prince, in the name of Anne, and then bring the two city-states under control again.

"But there is actually good news." Bishop Marcel said seriously, "Beishan Kingdom has stated that it will continue to maintain its alliance with the empire."

"That old guy..." Ganon smiled and shook his head.

King Morton's Golden Hammer knew the fact that Fred was defeated by him, and naturally he also knew that the current empire was under his control. He agreed to maintain an alliance with the empire led by Zhenna, which was an olive branch of great significance.

This means that Beishan Kingdom will most likely agree to work with the Empire to deal with Dragon Ascension Nest.

The key issue now is to get the Elemental Federation and the Papal State to participate in this matter.

Ignoring the Federation of Elements, there is another route on the Papal State side. If Paradise Mountain can be persuaded to join, the support of the Papal State will definitely come to their doorstep.

Archangel Ella knows the significance of the existence of the Endless Tower. If he is told that the Blue Dragon King is related to the disaster sealed by the gods...

You may need to go back and discuss this matter with Baphomet and Salil. They both know Archangel Erla.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Ganon responded.

A herald entered the study, hurriedly saluted and greeted the two people in the room, and then reported: "Urgent report from the northwest border. Just yesterday, the Principality of Xihe was attacked by a group of giant dragons! The Grand Duke of Xihe was attacking. Killed!!"
