Bronze Dragon: Tyrant's Road to Conquest

The early morning sun shone on the clean and tidy streets. Citizens with anxious expressions on their faces looked at the guards maintaining order. Even though they were fully armed, the armor on their bodies shone brightly under the rising sun. But this doesn't give people the slightest sense of security.

Because as long as you look up, you can see the giants patrolling along the city wall. The hard scales growing from their bodies form a heavy armor that looks like forged metal. The thick and rugged dragon horns appear from both sides of their foreheads. Growths grew from the sides, and some special individuals even grew wide dragon wings and thick and long dragon tails.

They didn't even enter the city, they just patrolled along the outermost wall of the city in the name of guarding and protecting the city, but their heads and even upper bodies could be exposed to the eyes of the residents in the city.

Although the height of the outermost city wall is not as high as that of the inner city walls, it is still thirty meters high. However, this still allows the residents in the city to clearly see the ferocious and full-faced giant's bone-faced armor. A majestic look.

The city they live in is surrounded by such beings. Although these giants claim to be protecting them, who wants to believe it?

Compared with these giants, the guarding knights in the city and the high-ranking knights are insignificant and not worthy of awe at all.

Accompanied by the heavy sound of drums at the city gate and the loud blasting of horns, a huge team began to enter the city, moving along the main road of the city towards the Knights City in the center.

"Here they come, they come!"

On both sides of the street, residents who came to watch the ceremony with nervous and uneasy emotions quickly became commotion as they looked at a large flag emerging from the end of the road, because on top of this flag was an extremely majestic golden dragon. First of all, this is a flag that has never appeared in the Kingdom of Jotun.

Although there are no unified regulations on the patterns on flags and coats of arms, forces with a little knowledge and self-awareness know what should be used and what can be used.

Patterns related to dragons must be used by at least kingdom-level forces, but the flag pattern in front of you has a more special meaning, because it is given by a powerful and noble dragon.

This flag is enough to show who is the new master who rules this city and even this country now. This makes those guys who still hold on to a sense of luck and expect some unrealistic things feel like they have been hit in the head. Great, with a gray face.

However, although the flag has been changed and has a very special meaning, what makes people relieved is that the team under this flag is still composed of humans, at least they look like humans, not It consists of giants taller than the city walls and flying dragons as big as houses.

"Is this really the succession ceremony of the First Knight?"

Looking at the huge chariot slowly driving through the streets, dragged by the eight-headed golden earth dragon, some people couldn't help but whisper, their tone full of resentment and dissatisfaction.

"Of course, isn't the noble first knight up there?"

A voice that seemed to be a bit sarcastic responded.

The chariot pulled by eight carefully selected earth dragons is like an exquisite small palace. Pure white gauze tents and golden silk tents are hung at the four corners of the outside. The crowd watching the ceremony on both sides of the street can see the uprightness. The successor of the First Knight sat on the silk mat and carpet.

Various gems hang from her carefully braided hair, and a laurel crown made of fine gold and mithril is worn on her head. Although he was wearing a set of platinum knight armor to show his bravery, there was a gorgeous sword beside him.

But coupled with the skirt and armor spread out by the chariot, the priceless magic pattern weapon on her body looks like a carefully selected wedding dress. It doesn't look like she is preparing to take over as the guardian of the kingdom. The first knight is more like preparing to participate in a grand and grand wedding.

"This doesn't look like the first knight, she's just a married bride!"

"What a shame!"

"Well, without the efforts of His Highness, our country may no longer exist. We have no right to mock!"

“A country that can only be saved by the sacrifice of women would be better off not existing.”

Young people are energetic and impassioned.

"You said it so easily. Don't you think about the citizens below? If the country collapses, how many people will die? Don't you think you will not be affected?"

"According to what you say, we should still thank His Highness?"

"Of course, everyone who can stand here alive should be grateful to His Highness Ataya!"

The little argument at the corner of the street was just one of the most insignificant noises in this solemn and solemn city. It fell silent without causing any waves.

However, some of their views are those of most residents of this city of knights, especially when they see the daughter of the former first knight, wearing knight armor, but her head is covered with gems and jewelry, completely invisible How much heroic spirit, but it is like a carefully packaged gift dedicated to the dragon clan.

In this martial country, all those who witnessed this scene with their own eyes and had a little higher self-esteem felt a strong sense of humiliation.

But it is a pity that this wave of emotions will only make them more depressed and depressed, making them unable to do anything.

When the news of the First Knight's death came, even before it was confirmed, the city fell into turmoil. The vast majority of residents experienced firsthand the consequences of losing the deterrence of legendary combat power.

Therefore, when order was restored, the existence that maintained the order had become alien, and the vast majority of people chose to bow their heads and endure it silently, even if such an order was not what they wanted.

A stable life without having to worry about it every day is what ordinary people need, and ordinary people must account for the majority of the short-lived intelligent people.

"This is the first and last time. Next time, if you dare to play such a clever trick again, I will let you know what fear is!"

Looking at Princess Taiya who was slowly walking down from the Earth Dragon carriage, wearing a platinum knight armor and holding a long sword, Tyrell glanced at the Hell Demon Monte, who held the title of host of the First Knight Succession Ceremony. The guy immediately bent his back with a flattering smile on his face.

What he asked this guy to hold was a succession ceremony, but what this guy held was like a wedding, not to mention the ordinary residents of this city, even he saw it that way.

Now that we have come to this point, we can only make mistakes. If he directly ruins this ceremony because of this, he will be the most unhappy person.

Because he was also a witness to this ceremony, and he was also responsible for handing over the weapons and armor that symbolized the identity of the first knight to Taiya.

"Don't always look like this. It's your turn to speak soon. After the succession ceremony is completed, you will rush to the frontier battlefield as the first knight. Many forces have invaded. Now it's your turn to defend the country. when."

When Tyrell handed over the weapon that symbolized the identity of the first knight to Taiya, his voice also sounded in the ears of the female knight.

The originally expressionless female knight's eyes were empty and numb, but a light suddenly appeared in her eyes, and her whole temperament became alive in an instant, from a delicate puppet to a living person.

"You want me to go to war?"

"What? Don't want to?"

Di Rui suddenly showed a playful smile. At this moment, he maintained the posture of a dragon, but even so, he was more than three meters tall. Under his condescending gaze, the female knight who was originally prepared to accept a tragic fate proudly puffed out her chest.

“This is my dream destination!”

"Very good, keep this mental posture, and then you can lead the army to the battlefield and repel the invaders."

Tyrell doesn't mind having an exquisite vase in his palace, but he doesn't mind even more having a brave and capable female general or commander-in-chief under his command.

"His Majesty?"

The Hell Refiner looked at Di Ruier in astonishment. He did not expect that there was such an arrangement. The Dragon Lord had never told him.

“How many countries are invading my homeland?”

After Taiya knew that she could lead the army onto the battlefield, her whole body completely got rid of her original lifeless state. Her eyes seemed to have a ball of fire burning and dancing.

"all."

Tyrell replied.

The Kingdom of Yotun Knights originally had three legends, and their powerful military armed forces allowed them to occupy the vast fertile land in the northern part of the continent. This also allowed them to offend many countries. A powerful regional overlord would definitely gnaw at them. The flesh and blood of the surrounding weak countries grew up step by step.

When all three legends went wrong, one was sacrificed and died, one escaped, and one disappeared, all the surrounding countries suddenly recalled their old and new grudges with the Kingdom of Jotun.

When the situation is unclear, the bold ones will directly declare war formally and command the troops to invade brazenly, while the timid ones will also send military armed forces to occupy various key resource areas.

The figures of the major legends have appeared on the border of the Jotun Knight Country. The current situation is still unclear. After they find out everything, they will directly enter the Jotun Knight Country and occupy the land that was originally taken away or already promising. .

However, Dirrell couldn't tolerate this situation, so he stayed here. He didn't even mind letting a short-lived species borrow his name, and even condescended to borrow the name of this short-lived species. , draw up your arms.

"all?!"

A solemn look suddenly appeared on Taiya's face. She knew that the situation facing her country was very serious, but she did not expect it to be so serious.

"Your Highness, this is exactly the consequence of not having the deterrence of legendary combat power. If the current Jotun Knight Country does not have a strong enough legendary guard, it will be a piece of delicious lamb to the surrounding countries."

"legend."

Taiya became even more silent. Only then did she realize that in this marriage that did not respect her own wishes, she was not only being exploited, but also being protected.

"You don't have to worry about the legendary figure appearing on the battlefield, I will take care of it myself."

In the battles and confrontations between small countries, legends will basically not appear. Even if a war breaks out, both sides will have a tacit understanding to control the intensity of the war below the soul level and try not to let legends set foot on the battlefield.

No matter how high-sounding the reason for launching a war, in the final analysis the purpose must be to compete for resources and obtain benefits.

But once the legend is defeated, once the legend is taken over, the battlefields where the legend is involved will definitely undergo permanent terrain changes. If it is to compete for resources such as minerals, then this type of resource points may even be directly destroyed and no longer exploited. value.

Therefore, unless it involves the competition for very important interests and resources, the legend will not end. The battle for territory will mainly be based on the victory of the army.

However, the prerequisite for fighting such a small-scale, low-intensity war with a country that has a legend is that there must be an equal force of force deterrence from the legend, otherwise the legend will not sit back and watch the show.

"You can block the Legend for me, but can you also support me with the army? All surrounding countries are attacking. Even if the Legend does not appear, I will not be able to organize a sufficient number of knights to resist."

Taiya was not happy because of Tyrell's promise, but her face became more solemn because of it. The legend did not appear, which meant that the fighting between the armies would be extremely brutal.

In this case, it is a great test of a country's foundation. Once it cannot replenish enough soldiers and organize sufficient armed defense, it will be driven in by the enemy.

Of course, this is a normal situation, but Tyrell does not intend to really abide by the default rules of the game between various countries in the mainland.

Because the premise for this rule to be accepted by everyone is that there is mutual deterrence between the two sides. You can't kill me, and I can't kill you, so the legend doesn't move and lets the soldiers below fight.

But Tyrell has the combat power to crush legends, which means that he can follow the traditional rules of war between countries, and he can also directly overturn the table when the situation is unfavorable.

However, Tyrell is still planning to wait and see what happens, because he has only figured out the general territory of Jotun Knight Country, how many cities there are, and what strategic locations there are. He has not yet figured out the surrounding countries. His eyes were all darkened, and he didn't know who he was.

Of course, he could also walk along the border of Jotun Knight Country and beat up and warn all the legends who snooped on them.

Not to mention how many legends this would offend, simply saying that forcibly ending the war by himself would not be conducive to his subsequent purpose. He wanted to take over the Jotun Knight Country and completely control the entire country in his hands instead of obeying in name only.

Therefore, war is necessary. War can speed up the process of many things. Under the force of war, many inappropriate and eye-catching people and things can be eliminated with justifiable reason.
