Chapter 172: The Storm Rises (Battle of the Contract)

Since that day of meeting, although Zheng Ming and Arthur seemed to have lost their memory, neither of them mentioned what happened that day again. However, what happened happened after all, and the two of them deliberately avoided close contact after that, and there was no intimate fight like before.

is also because he can't stand this kind of embarrassing atmosphere when he gets along alone, so unless there is something important, Zheng Ming rarely goes in and out of the palace. In this way, time keeps passing in a relatively ordinary life.

The news that the Frost Lan Kingdom was defeated by the Celtic Kingdom's Naruto army, and the news that the king of the Frost Lan Kingdom, the dragon knight Nolan, died in Naruto's hands swept through the surrounding kingdoms, causing an uproar among everyone.

So far, among the six forces with dragon knights, the northern forces in which the Lord of the Ice Dragon, Nolan, is located, are the first to go out.

After this battle, the Frost Lan Kingdom, which suffered heavy losses, fell out of the team competing for supremacy. At the same time, the defeat of the Frost Lan Kingdom was like a signal, and the major alliances and forces took action one after another. The melee conquest between countries has also completely kicked off.

April 1019 in the Ronan calendar. Before the ice and snow thawed, the Kingdom of Dorne sent troops and set out south to attack the territory of the Kingdom of Lane. This is a very wise decision, and the Kingdom of Lane is undoubtedly the best to defeat compared to the Celtic Kingdom, which showed its amazing strength, the Kingdom of Sillan, which has a long history and strong state, and the Far East, which has a geographical advantage and is across the sea.

And that's exactly what happened. Whether it is within the Ryan Kingdom, the Dragon Knight is not the unstable factor of the king, or the military strength that can barely reach the forefront by relying on the allies of the Adler Kingdom, it cannot compete with the integrated and unified Dorne Kingdom.

As a result, under the royal conquest of Drogo Ryan, the kingdom of Ryan was defeated and retreated. can only rely on the terrain of Duoqi Peak and Duodense Forest to delay, hoping for the rescue of its ally Hidler Kingdom.

In May of the same year, Gwena gave birth to a son. Although it was a few days premature than expected, it is fortunate that the child is healthy and the mother and child are safe.

After more than ten years of anticipation, the Celtic kingdom finally has an heir.

It was also shortly after the birth of the prince that Arthur and Zheng Ming each led their troops to leave, calming the war situation around the border and expanding outward.

In the year 1021 of the Ronan calendar, the military of the Dorn people became larger and larger, and the momentum became more and more arrogant. After two years of repeated invasions, the Dornites captured a third of the kingdom of Lane. After turning the beautiful and magnificent mountains and rivers into a death zone filled with poisonous miasma and forbidden for the living, he dropped his gun and attacked the kingdom of Sillla.

Over the years, the New Luonan Kingdom, which has been sitting firmly in Diaoyutai and actively attacking the surrounding small and medium-sized forces, has ushered in a big hit. Under the sudden attack of the Kingdom of Dorne, the Kingdom of New Luonan, which has always regarded itself as an orthodox and leader, suffered heavy losses.

After such a setback, the kingdom of Silla finally came to its senses, and they abandoned their plan to prioritize the exploration of the seas and develop their fleet, and deployed their men to meet the overwhelming Dornish army.

And so it went for another two years. The Kingdom of Dorne, which was stumbling with the Ronan Kingdom, finally gave up the attack and retreated to the territory under the detour of the Lai Ai Alliance.

So far, except for the Kingdom of Adler, all the small and medium-sized kingdoms without dragon knights have been divided by these three forces. Surrender or destroy the country.

In just a few years, countless strong people have risen one after another, composing their own heroic epics. There are also countless strong people who have fallen halfway.

The chaotic tide of battle has since turned into a situation in which several huge forces are facing each other. A war between the dragon knights, which truly belongs, is inevitable.

"Uncle Ming, did you bring me a gift?"

Zheng Ming, who had just returned to the royal capital after going to exterminate the invaders at the request of the vassal state, had not yet enjoyed the peace of being alone in his room when he welcomed the bear child who gave him a headache.

"I heard you're back. Little Morred and I came over to see you. ”

Zheng Ming glanced at Gwyna who was smiling and greeting at the door, and scratched her head helplessly. It seems that having a child can really change a person, and Gwynna's previous naughty and crazy side has been replaced by complete tenderness and maternal brilliance.

"One year you're still the same as before."

Zheng Ming didn't know what to say. Since giving birth to the child, the traces of time on Gwynna's face have become more and more obvious, and it seems that each meeting has deepened by a few points. It's natural to think about it, Gwena is already in her thirties, and people in this backward world don't have makeup and skin care products from their previous lives, and their lifespan is not very long.

"Uncle Ming, you promised me last time."

Little Morred interrupted Zheng Ming's thoughts, and he couldn't help but smile as he looked at the little clever ghost who was holding his leg and pestering him for a gift.

"How could I have forgotten what I promised you? Oh, this is called Polly, and it is a very popular pet among the nobles now~. ”

As he spoke, Zheng Ming flipped his right hand, and a palm-sized, cute-looking pink jelly-like spherical creature suddenly appeared in his palm.

It was a new species first discovered in the Chia Mountains, and was loved by the aristocracy due to its petite body, non-threatening, easy to feed, and cute appearance. In recent years, it has quickly become a popular pet among the aristocracy. Its name is named after the first merchant who sold it.

Of course, Zheng Ming recognized this thing as his slime clone at first sight. However, she herself knows why these slime clones exhibit a variety of colors.

When he found out, this kind of mutated clone was already all over the place, and Zheng Ming didn't bother to take back these massive clones that did not have a level for the sake of that dispensable energy.

Now that he had brought the gift, he took out Polly, which was originally used for research, in the storage space.

"Wow~oh~."

Little Morred let out an incomprehensible cheer and happily took Polly.

The little boy was playing with a spherical jelly-like object that was not much smaller than his head.

Zheng Ming and Gwena stood side by side and watched, and the innocent little Morred talked in a low voice.

"The tiger's brain is so cute. Thankfully, little Mored didn't follow his father, but you. Otherwise I bet he might get bullied by girls. ”

"Hmm."

"I just wrote to Arthur before I came. I believe it won't be long before he comes back. Don't blame him too much for being out on the road all year round. Unlike me, he really fought hard for the stability of the kingdom and the safety of his family. ”

"I understand. I have no right to blame him. ”

"Aren't you worried about him messing with flowers outside? Don't worry, he's very peaceful, I'll keep an eye on it for you. ”

Zheng Ming, who was watching little Mored chatting casually, didn't notice the stiff smile on Gwyna's face who bowed her head in response.
