A few days later, late at night, the quiet city was illuminated by moonlight.
Gassoni Shining Silver sat alone in his spacious study, leaning wearily over the table, dealing with numerous trivial domestic affairs.
These matters may seem insignificant, but they are related to the stability and order of the country.
The most common dispute involved one noble claiming that another had violated his sacred rights, while the other noble insisted that this was slander and a damage to his chivalrous honor.
So Gassoni had to act as a notary and witness their honor duel.
However, the real motivation behind this phenomenon is the competition for limited resources and power.
The area of the Holy Mithril Kingdom is actually not small, and is much larger than the Azure Tide Kingdom.
But no matter how big it is, there will come a day when it reaches its limit.
In today's Holy Mithril Kingdom, the number of nobles that can be enfeoffed within its territory has already reached saturation.
However, people at the bottom don't care about these things. They only want to climb up and pursue higher status and wealth.
Therefore, conflicts and fights often arise in the country due to uneven distribution of benefits.
Not only those small nobles, but even the dragon knights under his command were also eroded by the vortex of interests.
If it only involved the dragon knights, Gassoni could still handle it, after all, he had enough strength to subdue them.
However, the problem is that those dragon knights not only became corrupt themselves, but also began to recruit soldiers and try to establish their own power.
This makes the whole situation more complicated and dangerous.
The petty nobles under these dragon knights are always fighting and quarreling with each other.
Gassoni also tried to solve the problem with a tough approach, ordering them all to be killed.
However, this approach only brings a brief period of peace, and after a few months, everything returns to its original state of chaos.
Fighting back and forth, never ending...
After receiving the news, Gassoni immediately went to find the dragon knight dukes to warn them.
But those dragon knights were very slippery and would never admit it even if they were beaten to death.
Faced with this situation, Gassoni felt helpless. He couldn't just execute them all just because others didn't know. After all, he still needed their help.
However, while he was handling official business, he suddenly felt strange auras appearing in the sky above his capital.
Among these auras, some were extremely powerful, making him feel threatened.
"Oh no! The Winged People are attacking!"
Gassoni realized that this force came from high altitude and it was likely that the Winged People launched an attack.
Since the last battle with the Winged People, Gassoni has been studying this mysterious race and gradually gained some information.
He knew clearly that the Winged People had an incomparable advantage in the air, and if he chose to fight them in the air, his chances of winning would be slim.
Not only that, the air defense force he controlled was almost negligible.
Judging from the aura emitted by the Winged People, they have obviously come out in full force this time, throwing all the high-end combat power in the tribe into this battle.
On his side, he was almost the only upper-level dragon knight left in the entire capital.
Some of the other lower-level dragon knights have been sent to the front line to support the Azure Tide Kingdom, while the others have been arranged in other places to prevent possible accidents.
Normally, this was a normal arrangement, but he didn't expect that the other party would not play by the rules and directly attack the capital.
Fight? Or flee?
Gassoni's heart was full of confusion at this moment.
Logically speaking, if he ran now, with the speed of the Mithril Dragon, even those higher-level flying dragons would not be able to stop him.
But here’s the thing…
Gassoni glanced around at the situation in the capital, his eyes revealing a hint of reluctance and entanglement.
If he chooses to escape, the people in the capital will face a catastrophe, and his honor as a dragon rider and his responsibility as a king will be gone.
When he became a Mithril Dragon Knight and a king, he swore an oath to protect his people until his death.
However, if he chose to stay and fight the enemy, facing such a powerful enemy, he would have no chance of survival.
In the inner struggle, Gassoni took a deep breath and finally made a decision -
Stay and fight!
He knew this might be a battle to his death, but he could not give up his beliefs and responsibilities.
He will fight the enemy to the end for his people, for his responsibility and honor!
"Old buddy, this time I might really end up getting you killed along with me."
Gassoni sat on the crescent platform of the mithril dragon and touched its neck guiltily.
"It's okay. When you and I signed the contract, I had already prepared for this day."
The Mithril Dragon let out a low dragon roar and comforted Gasoni in the spiritual space.
"I know you are afraid of death, but I also know that you are a person with a sense of responsibility and honor."
"That's why I chose you and made you my knight."
Gassoni took out the Dragon Spear and gently wiped the gun body.
He hasn't fought a battle in a long time since he became king.
The weapons that had accompanied him in his battles had been silent for too long.
"My people, my soldiers, flee from here, all run south! Flee to the Kingdom of Topal!"
Gassoni used magic to bless his throat, allowing his voice to resound across the sky.
The ordinary people and nobles on the ground also raised their heads and stared at the figure in a daze.
