However, Veronica did not think much about it. In her opinion, Edwin must have restrained his temper because the Emerald Valley was the territory of his royal brother.
As for the similarity in speech, she guessed that Edwin's brain was sick again. After all, this Bronze Dragon Knight had often had attacks before, often talking to himself, and sometimes getting angry for no reason.
At first, Veronica was also shocked, but as time went by, she got used to it.
"Maybe he got his brain hurt when he was merging with the bronze dragon. How pitiful..."
Originally, Veronica was full of hostility towards Edwin, but now her hostility towards this mentally ill guy is not so serious, and she is mostly wary of him.
After all, it's not surprising that such a mentally ill person would do anything. She even suspected that the signs of treason she had previously investigated were just traces left by Edwin's simple mental illness.
As for Liam. Gray Iron...
Ever since Veronica first met him as a child, she knew that the Iron Dragon Knight was a taciturn person.
However, Veronica still didn't want to believe that Uncle Liam, who had sworn to protect the Emerald Light family during the civil war in the kingdom, would choose to commit treason.
Suppressing the surging emotions in her heart, Veronica continued to focus her attention on the battlefield, or to be more precise, on the knightly order composed of the nobles of the Golden Duchy.
Veronica knew what the nobles who followed her were thinking, and she also knew that their loyalty was shaken by her attitude.
She also knew that to be an independent ruler, she must put the interests of the country first.
But her hometown was invaded, and her only relative in the world, her brother King Alvis, Emerald Light, needed her help. How could she not lend a helping hand?
Perhaps it was true as her brother said, that she was not a qualified ruler, but she also hoped that the knights under her command would suffer less losses.
While Veronica was daydreaming, the situation on the battlefield had changed.
It turned out that the commander of the Mountain Copper Kingdom noticed the people of the Golden Duchy killing people on the battlefield, so he quickly sent out a group of knights to fight back.
However, the commander of the Mountain Copper Kingdom underestimated the strength of the people of the Golden Duchy, or rather, he did not expect that there would be three fantasy beast knights hidden in a knight order.
Among these five marquises, only Marquis Qingyucao and Marquis Daniel have the strength of Sky Knights.
The other three, namely Marquis Frostwolf, Marquis Shadowsnake and Marquis Ghost, are all mythical beast knights.
The reason why the Frostwolf Marquis was unable to hide his body was entirely due to the size of his contracted phantom beast, the Arctic Frostwolf, so he had to be exposed.
In contrast, the Shadow Snake Marquis's contracted beast, the Shadow Ring Snake, can be hidden due to its small and exquisite size.
As for the Ghost Marquis, his ghost lizard can even become invisible. Although it may not have much advantage on the front battlefield, it is definitely a good hand when it comes to sneak attacks.
It was precisely because these two old men hid well and did not expose their phantom beasts during the battle that the commander of the Mountain Copper Kingdom issued the wrong order.
The knights he sent out suffered heavy losses. One of the two leading beast knights was killed in battle, and the other escaped with serious injuries.
However, for the people of the Golden Duchy, this is the limit of what they can do.
Once the enemy reacts, given their overall strength, if they really confront the enemy head-on, they will probably find it difficult to escape unscathed.
This time, they were able to severely damage a knight group and kill a phantom beast knight, which is already a very fruitful result.
As a qualified and excellent commander, Marquis Frostwolf has begun to lead the Knights back to the Emerald Valley.
However, they did not return directly, but slaughtered some soldiers and officers on the way back, trying to reduce some pressure on the defenders in the Emerald Valley.
Veronica, who was watching the Knights in mid-air, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them safely return to the walls of Emerald Valley.
She fixed her gaze on the Emerald Dragon Knight Phoenix beside her, a hint of worry in her eyes, and asked softly:
"Uncle Phoenix, is Brother Wang still in seclusion and unable to take action?"
Phoenix shook his head helplessly and replied solemnly:
"Yes, Your Highness.
The palace where the king is has been shrouded by the Emerald Dragon's mind-enchanting power. Even I dare not approach it easily, let alone rush in to wake the king."
As the most powerful dragon knight in the Emerald Kingdom besides Alvis, Phoenix's strength should not be underestimated.
The Emerald Dragon he rides is the most powerful dragon currently in service in the Emerald Kingdom besides the Emerald Dragon.
In the war against the Orichalcum Kingdom, Phoenix and the Emerald Dragon performed exceptionally well, their contributions even exceeding those of Liam and Edwin combined.
However, faced with the current predicament, even Phoenix felt helpless.
At this time, Liam Gray Iron, who had been silent all this time, suddenly broke with his usual behavior and spoke.
"Don't be afraid. Although we have lost land in the northwest of the kingdom, we haven't lost much of our top combat power. The Emerald Valley has been inhabited by the Emerald Dragon for many years. With the Emerald Dragon here, we don't have to worry about the enemy invading."
What Liam said was also what the Mountain Copper Kingdom thought. This was why they kept sending low-level soldiers to attack the Emerald Valley.
The orichalcum dragon ridden by their king was also a type of magic dragon, so they naturally knew how powerful the magic dragon knight was.
Normally, an ordinary mineral dragon like an iron dragon or a bronze dragon can only barely survive if three against one, can only remain undefeated if five against one, and only has a chance of winning if seven against one.
How did this data come out, you ask?
At that time, the Orichalcum Kingdom held a "Dance of Dragons" martial arts competition in its capital, and the participants were dragon knights from all over the country and neighboring countries.
The then King of the Orichalcum Kingdom, Harold the Lord of Copper, rode an Orichalcum Dragon through the entire venue and single-handedly fought against seven dragon riders.
And that was a limited match. If it were on the battlefield, the Mountain Copper Dragon would definitely have the ability to quickly kill an ordinary mineral dragon.
It is precisely because of this that the people of the Mountain Copper Kingdom did not dare to enter the Jade Valley in person, but instead sent cannon fodder to test it.
Just three days before the siege of the Jade Valley, the dragon riders of the Orichalcum Kingdom had already sent a letter to the capital.
Request Harold the Copper Lord to personally ride the Orichalcum Dragon to the Jade Valley to fight the Emerald Dragon.
