The war between the Imperial Army and the Dragon Legion continues, and even the most elite Royal Griffin Knights are no match for the Five-Colored Dragons in terms of individual strength, but since ancient times, humans have never been creatures acting individually.

The powerful crossbows of the ground forces covered the griffin knights soaring through the air, and the Imperial army used the barracks as a base to gradually drive out the leaderless dragons.

Elbert in the stronghold watched the battle situation gradually improve, and his original hanging heart finally let go. But when he saw the hellish scene in the barracks, where there were many wails and heavy casualties, the good mood that had just risen disappeared.

As with the chaos of the Dragon Legion now, the Imperial Army, lacking effective leadership, was in a state of leaderless chaos before the battle began. Some of the officers advocated taking the initiative to expel the dragons, others advocated holding on to the position without orders, and finally some cowards proposed a plan to withdraw from the imperial capital and preserve the living forces.

However, the San Lorenzo Empire had a balanced approach, and there was no strict relationship between the major forces, and the clash of policies of the leadership caused great harm to the soldiers, so much so that panic and chaos spread in the barracks.

So at the beginning of the war, the major military camps of the empire suffered heavy losses. By the time Elbert arrived at the Griffin Knights' headquarters, only two or three out of ten troops were left with the courage and physical strength to fight.

At that time, Elbert was in despair.

Thankfully, he had the strong support of the head of the Royal Griffon Order, who helped him gather his forces and begin a desperate counterattack against the Dragons.

But even before the counterattack began, Elbert and the regiment commander only made a final struggle with a will to die, but they did not expect that the battle situation was unexpectedly smooth.

"Your Majesty, the battle is starting to turn to its advantage!" The head of the Order was a middle-aged man with thick beard, and his burly and muscular figure made him look like a warrior.

The regimental commander, who was known for his calmness, clasped his hands in gauntlets, and it could be seen that he was also particularly surprised in the face of such an unexpectedly favorable situation.

Elbert smiled in agreement, and the black clouds that shrouded the imperial capital gradually dissipated, which meant that the white dragon who could manipulate the weather had retreated.

It's a miracle!" Elbert pondered the reason with a mage's unique inquiry, and a smile immediately broke out on the corner of his mouth.

Could it be you? Charlotte......

He quickly pulled his thoughts back, because even if he fought off the dragon army, the aftermath of the battle would be enough to break his mind.

Because of the fall in the early stage, more than two-thirds of the blocks on the water were paralyzed, a large number of civilians died, and buildings collapsed. After the war, Elbert not only had to use the poor treasury to resettle refugees and rebuild his home, but also had to find ways to prevent the plague that might arise.

And for all this, the emperor who has not really ascended the throne has no experience at all.

"Commander, do you have any internal affairs talents under your command, I think the real problem we need to face after repelling the Dragon Legion. Elbert consulted with the head of the regiment behind him.

But when he saw the burly man's embarrassed expression, he realized that everything else was on his own.

"Regiment, regimental commander!"

A knight in griffon knight armor pushed open the door to the command room, saluted the leader, and a dusty face appeared in a dilemma when he noticed Elbert, who was half a step ahead of the commander.

"This is the new generation of His Majesty the Emperor of the San Lorenzo Empire!

"Yes!" the knight immediately knelt down on one knee and gave Elbert a knightly salute of allegiance, "The Seventh Captain of the Griffin Knights has come to see Your Majesty!"

"In extraordinary times, you don't have to care about these false courtesies. ”

Elbert took two steps to help the knight up, and the latter showed a look of surprise and emotion at the oversized courtesy.

"Your Majesty, Commander. Then, that ......," said the knight, "the Regent's Palace, His Highness, is outside the door. ”

Hearing the unexpected news, the regimental commander looked at Elbert with an inquiring attitude.

“…… Let him in. Elbert was surprised for a moment, suppressed the anger in his heart and ordered.

Soon, the embarrassed Prince of Maysfield entered the command room alone. When he noticed Elbert glaring at him angrily in front of the window, he was taken aback for a moment, and then confronted Elbert with a complicated expression.

Elbert noticed that Masefield's left elbow seemed to be dislocated, and that the original golden royal robe was dirty and sloppy, with a corner missing from the hem of the robe, and the gold robe at the knee was stained with dirty stains.

Elbert and Mesfield, the uncle and nephew, looked at each other with complicated eyes, and after a long time, Elbert waved his hand and signaled the regimental commander, who was worried about his safety, to withdraw from the command room.

Now, in the spacious command room with the tactical table, only two of the most noble men of the empire remained.

"I didn't expect you to come to the headquarters of the Griffin Knights. Unexpectedly, it was Maesfield who broke the silence first.

This once powerful man looked at Elbert in front of the window with a complicated expression, and with his political acumen, he probably knew from the expression of the regiment commander that he was gone.

"Compared to my unsuccessful son, you are indeed worthy of the title of Clegghorn. Masefield's eyes darkened, and in Elbert's astonishment, he spoke with a thick twilight tone.

"Walter is not the son of his father. With a deep anger in Elbert's eyes, he resisted the urge to make a move and glared at Mesfield through gritted teeth, "Uncle, do you know what? Everything you have done is disgrace to the griffin family!"

"Shame, hum, shame!" said Mesfield, who seemed to be greatly stimulated, and waved his hands like a street thug and roared, "Growing up, I could not get anything I wanted! Just because I am the second son of this family, the throne belongs to my brother! Your mother is also my brother's wife! All the praise for trying to restore the glory of the family is still my brother's!"

Mesfield spat with excitement, "What did I get! I only got a useless Prince Regent! The title of a good brother of the Emperor! But that uncherished bastard only cared for the interests of the Empire, and made your beautiful mother depressed, and after that, he found another woman to sit on the throne of the Empress as if nothing had happened! But I! I could only watch as it all happened-"

The anger in Elbert's eyes turned to horror, and he looked at the loud roaring man, never thinking that he had such a deep love for his mother, who was about to forget her appearance.

"So from that day on, I swore that I was going to take everything from that indifferent emperor!" Maesfield seemed to force himself to calm down, his voice low, but the cold that seemed to come from under the Nine Shadows was more permeating than any roar.

"His woman, his blood, his throne...... I'm going to take it all I have!" Maesfield looked at Elbert with deep eyes, "I'm going to erase everything about him and make him a tiny speck of dust that no one remembers in history......"
