Saul Charman is the younger brother of the late king of the Golden Dragon Kingdom, and the leader of the kingdom's five major dragon knights. With the cultivation of an earth knight, he has basically stood at the pinnacle of the human race.
Together with an adult golden dragon, it is difficult to find an opponent even in the entire continent. It can be said to be the pillar of the golden dragon kingdom.
However, Sol, who was originally calm and full of energy, rarely showed a sad look on his face.
As the leader of the delegation to negotiate the next round of contract signing with the Golden Dragon Clan, Thor did not complete his task. At this time, he was anxiously rushing to the palace to report to the king in detail the attitude of the Golden Dragon Clan this time.
After entering the palace from the palace gate and walking all the way to the palace gate where the king was, none of the guards had any intention of blocking Thor. Instead, they all saluted him with respect. The superhuman status of the Dragon Knight in the kingdom was fully demonstrated.
…
As soon as Thor entered the inner hall, he saw His Majesty Ren, who had the same sad face, sitting on a chair and thinking about something.
"Uncle King Sol."
Seeing Thor's arrival, Ren, who had just shown his majesty as a king in the court, completely lost his so-called majesty as a king in front of Thor.
Seeing that Sol was still planning to salute, Ren hurriedly came down from the high platform and supported Sol with both hands.
Thor also stood up. The so-called salute was actually just a gesture. Ren really couldn't bear the bow from Uncle Wang.
"Uncle King Sol, what does the Golden Dragon clan mean? Are they not going to abide by the original agreement?"
Renn didn't care to exchange any more pleasantries with Uncle Wang and quickly got to the point.
"The original agreement was that our clan would send young talents to Jinlongya. If any members of the Jinlong clan liked some of them, they would form a fifty-year equal contract with them.
This time, no one was selected by the Dragon Clan, and since none of them like it, the Dragon Clan naturally doesn’t break the contract.”
"Are there even no green dragons left?"
Ren asked again without giving up.
Sol shook his head silently.
"Hey, is there any remedy?"
In fact, no one is stupid. The young people Saul brought this time are all outstanding figures in the Royal Knights Academy. The weakest are masters of the peak knight level, and there are even a few geniuses of the great knight level.
The Royal Knights Academy is a knight training academy directly affiliated with the royal family. In order to ensure their loyalty, in addition to members of the Charman family, those who can be trained in the Knights Academy are also talented children selected from civilian families.
This time, the best talents in the Royal Knights Academy, even those who graduated in the past few years, were taken by Thor to Jinlongya to be selected by the Dragon Clan. Even if the quality is not as good as that of the previous fifty years, it is not so bad that even a green
You can't even bring the dragon back.
The so-called no one is interested is just a lame reason for the Golden Dragon clan to terminate the agreement.
In the face of the dragon clan's breach of contract, the human race actually had no good solution. Except for the time of Charman I, the founding monarch of the Golden Dragon Kingdom,
In the following hundreds of years, the human race did not have an equal relationship with the Golden Dragon clan. The so-called Dragon River, Dragon Breathing Pass, Golden Dragon City, and even the Golden Dragon Kingdom were all unilateral actions of the human race as a licking dog. It would be fine if they licked everything until the end.
, the current situation seems that the Golden Dragon clan is a little tired of being licked.
Facing Ren's question, Thor didn't know how to answer. If he had his way, he wouldn't have returned from Jinlongya with nothing.
"I'll ask Asuo to bring some gold and silver treasures to Longya to work hard."
Asuo is an adult golden dragon and Thor's contractual partner. After fifty years of fighting side by side, there is always a bit of friendship left.
"The palace's treasure trove, Uncle Thor can access anything if necessary."
Sol nodded solemnly. In fact, neither Ren nor Sol had much hope, but in this situation, they could only treat the situation like a dead horse.
"Your Majesty, the kingdom must prepare early."
Thor hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"I understand that when Uncle Saul returns, he will strictly instruct the insiders that the failure of this negotiation must not be leaked."
Thor nodded. He knew very well the seriousness of this matter. Without the support of the Golden Dragon clan, the legitimacy of the royal family's status would even be affected.
What's more serious is that without the deterrence of the Golden Dragon clan, the orc kingdom, which is already ready to take action, may no longer be able to restrain its desire for revenge. The human race, which has been comfortable for hundreds of years, may face the disaster of extinction.
"With me here, even without the support of the Golden Dragon clan, the glory of the Charman family will not fade at all."
Even without the dragon, Sol's earth knight's peak strength is definitely the top power of mankind.
In fact, Renn is not worried about internal rebellion. The Charman family's method of selecting heirs ensures that every monarch of the Golden Dragon Kingdom is not a mediocre person. The royal family is powerful and always has a high degree of control over the country.
What Ren was more worried about was the original owners of the central Great Plains. Those orcs who were driven to the eastern plateau by Charlemagne I and the Golden Dragon Clan were the real threat.
"There is still one year left, so we have to prepare for the worst."
The contract of this generation will expire in one year. If no new dragons join by then, the Golden Dragon Kingdom will not have a single dragon knight, and the name Golden Dragon Kingdom will look a bit embarrassing.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will make my last effort."
"If the orcs attack..."
"If the orcs attack, I will shed my last drop of blood for the kingdom."
After saying that, Sol resigned and turned around to leave.
…
"well"
Ren, who stood in the palace and watched Sol gradually leave, sighed heavily.
Although Thor is strong, when the orcs invade in large numbers, one earth knight can defeat a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand.
The human race has generally lived a comfortable life in recent years, but they still have constant friction with the orcs. Naturally, Renn has a certain understanding of the orcs' combat prowess.
Because the eastern plateau is too barren, although the area is relatively large, there is not much arable land and grassland for grazing. The population of the entire orc kingdom is less than one-third of that of humans.
However, the natural physical advantages make every adult orc have the strength of a human quasi-knight. If it were not for the support of the golden dragon clan, the human race would not be able to defeat the orcs.
Now that the Golden Dragon clan no longer fulfills its contract, the orcs will definitely invade in large numbers when they react. Now they can only hide it for a day...
In the past few years since he became the king, Renn no longer had the surprise that he was lucky enough to get the throne. As a king, he has too many things to worry about. Sitting in this position, the pressure is like a mountain on his back.
Sometimes Ren even envies his Uncle Saul, who lives a life without so many worries and just acts as a royal sword to wipe out all enemies.
…
As night falls, the lights in Jinlong City are already brightly lit. There is no curfew in Jinlong City, and people are still coming and going on the streets.
The taverns are full of guests, and if you look carefully, you can even find dwarves from the south drinking in the taverns.
The smiling Oriole boldly solicits customers on the road.
The upper class sat in the large opera house and listened to the newly composed music.
It is such a prosperous and prosperous scene, but only a few knowledgeable people can detect the crisis hidden under the lights...
