From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

It is estimated that Gassoni, this guy, neither wants to tear his face apart nor wants to reduce the strength of his country too much, so he came up with this method.

This method seems to be fine, but the problem is that anyone with a brain can see the meaning behind Gassoni's move.

How long has it been since he signed the offensive and defensive alliance treaty with the Azure Tide Kingdom?

Is he so perfunctory in the face of his ally's request for help?

Anyway, after this matter is over, he will cancel this nominal offensive and defensive alliance treaty.

"Your Majesty, you should go to the hall to rest first. I have asked William to prepare a welcoming banquet."

The welcoming banquet is also one of the traditional customs of this world.

It is mainly to express the respect of the host here for the guests.

"Okay, then let's land. Your Majesty the Royal Sapphire Dragon will lead the way."

"You're welcome. You can just call me by my name, Azure."

Azure, that is, the Royal Sapphire Dragon said.

"No one has called my name for a long time since my knight died."

"Okay Azure."

Krober nodded.

Normally, the capital of each kingdom would have an extremely vast open space to receive guests of the dragon knight level.

The Azure Tide Kingdom is no exception.

Azure took Krober and his group to a plain in the north of the city.

The plain was large and well maintained, and a fence was built on the edge of the plain to indicate the ownership of the land.

A huge tent had been built in the center of the plain, and many soldiers and servants were busy around it.

When they landed in front of the tent, a group of people in gorgeous costumes came up to greet them.

The leader was a tall and thin man wearing a golden robe and a crown on his head. He was obviously the king of the Azure Tide Kingdom - William Royal Blue.

William stretched out his hands, shook Krober's hand tightly, and said:

"Thank you for coming, Your Majesty Krober."

"On behalf of my country and people, I express my sincere admiration and gratitude for your wise decision."

At this time, William was much more haggard than when he was at the founding ceremony.

Obviously, the invasion of the Winged People has cost this not-so-wise and not-so-powerful king a lot of effort.

"To be honest, I have sent letters for help to other major kingdoms, but you are the only one who responded to me."

"The other kingdoms have either been attacked by the enemy or are unable to draw reinforcements to support them because of their own weak strength."

William was so moved that he couldn't help but shed tears.

Although he was not smart and even a little stupid, he didn't want the country to be destroyed in his hands.

Now that he saw hope coming, his originally tight string just broke like a stream.

Krober didn't say much about William's impoliteness.

He could understand William's state at this time, so he didn't urge him or express his opinion. He just quietly waited for William to vent all his emotions.

In the end, it was still Zhanlan who couldn't stand it anymore and stopped this ridiculous scene.

"Enough! How long are you going to cry?! Do you want to make the whole country lose face?"

The Azure said unhappily. It didn't treat William well.

Compared with his ancestors, he was just like a pig reincarnated.

All he knew was eating, drinking, having fun and doing business.

Although the whole country became much richer under his leadership, its military strength was so weak that it could be called fragile.

The entire kingdom's top leaders depended on it and two other lower-rank dragon knights to support the scene, and there were not many dragons in the Dragon Garden.

This time, the kingdom's top combat power was almost wiped out, and the entire military system was on the verge of collapse.

"Since King William has calmed down, let's discuss the current specific situation of the kingdom."

Krober sat in the seat arranged for him and invited King William.

"Well... OK."

King William wiped his tears and sat in his seat. He clapped his hands first, asked the soldiers and servants to bring up the food, and then talked about the current situation of the Azure Tide Kingdom.

"At present, the military system of the entire kingdom is on the verge of collapse. All the mobile forces that can be mobilized have been destroyed. Now there may be only some private soldiers in the hands of some nobles."

"The attack of the Winged People this time is very efficient and fierce. They almost have a clear plan, and every soldier destroys according to the classification."

"From the battle report on the front line, the Winged People organized the army in a small floating island this time."

"Each small floating island will be led by a silver-winged winged person with the strength of a sky knight."

"Their primary goal is to kill or destroy the strong in the human army and various military facilities."

After saying this, William took out a report from his arms, which clearly recorded the officers and nobles of all levels assassinated by the Winged People.

"This group of winged people also attacked the Great Magic Tower in an organized manner, killing most of the magicians inside, and all the rare magic materials and classics collected were burned."

When saying this, Krober could clearly feel that William was very distressed at this time.

I don't know whether he felt sorry for those expensive materials and classics, or for those dead magicians.

Based on Kroeber's love of money for William, he must have felt bad for the gold coins he invested.

"At present, the main offensive target of the Winged People is the coastal area. They have successively broken through several large ports and plundered a large amount of resources and military supplies."

On the wall behind the tent, there is a huge map with the territory and terrain of the Azure Tide Kingdom drawn on it.

In addition to the Azure Heart, there are four other large port cities in the coastal area.

However, these cities have now fallen and become enemy territory or ruins.

At present, the army of the Azure Tide Kingdom has been almost destroyed, and the situation of some small settlements around it has become confusing.

Due to the lack of effective intelligence collection methods, William does not know whether these settlements are safe or have been looted.

If everything is calculated according to the worst case scenario, then the Azure Tide Kingdom, one of the eight kingdoms of mankind, now only has the capital city struggling to support it.

Although the city is strong, it also seems to be shaky in the face of the enemy's powerful offensive.

After thinking about it, Krober decided to send people to find out the situation in most cities in the country first.
