The number of dragon riders in the Emerald Kingdom was originally small, and was even smaller than that of the Orichalcum Kingdom.
However, after experiencing a series of turmoil such as rebellion and internal friction, the number of dragon riders in the Emerald Kingdom dropped sharply, hitting a historical low.
Today, including Veronica, there are only five dragon riders left in the entire Emerald Kingdom, while the Orichalcum Kingdom has as many as seven.
Fortunately, the three dragon knights of the Blazing Steel Kingdom acted as a check and balance, making the Mountain Copper Kingdom wary and not daring to easily send a large number of dragon knights to invade the territory of the Emerald Kingdom.
However, the Emerald Kingdom had already suffered heavy damage in the battles between the Beast Knights and the Sky Knights alone.
Taking advantage of this banquet, Veronica will solemnly announce that the Golden Duchy will officially intervene in the war as an ally of the Emerald Kingdom.
At that time, one dragon knight, four fantasy beast knights, more than ten sky knights and hundreds of earth knights will join the battlefield.
And this is the strongest combat force that the Golden Duchy can mobilize.
As for those below the rank of Grand Knight, they would just be serving as food if they went there, so it would be better for them to stay at home, especially those with good talents.
This war is destined to be cruel. Even the dragon knights who are usually high and mighty will be in danger of their lives, not to mention other knights.
Thinking of this, Veronica couldn't help but sigh deeply.
In the Golden Duchy, she is a unique dragon knight with top strength.
However, once she entered the territory of the Emerald Kingdom, she was just one of the five dragon riders - the Golden Dragon Knight.
In terms of combat power, she is far inferior to the Emerald Dragon ridden by her brother, and is only slightly better than other ordinary dragon knights.
And when she was on the battlefield of the kingdom, she became one of more than ten dragon knights.
It can be foreseen that future battles will be extremely difficult.
By then, how many people in the team she leads will survive?
Maybe even she herself...
Even for Veronica, who has lived for 110 years, this is her first time experiencing a national-level war. It would be a lie to say that she doesn't feel nervous at all.
But she had no choice.
She is not only a dragon knight, but also a ruler.
Since you enjoy the conveniences brought by your identity, you must also bravely assume the corresponding responsibilities.
Considering this point alone, no matter whether it is the high and mighty king or the ordinary baron, they cannot escape this responsibility.
Well, commoners and slaves don't, because they will always be valuable assets to the ruling class.
"Get up, Viscount Krober. It is truly a relief to see you at this time."
Veronica's tone was calm and sincere.
Veronica couldn't help but be shocked when she felt the surging fighting spirit in Krober's body.
She was keenly aware that the Dou Qi in his body had reached its peak state, as if it was only one step away from a second Dou Qi transformation.
This means that Krober is qualified to be promoted to Earth Knight.
"Is your fighting spirit...about to break through to the Earth Knight realm?"
Veronica asked with wide eyes and a look of disbelief.
He was not surprised by the realm of an ordinary Earth Knight, but was shocked by Krober's cultivation speed.
She clearly remembered that Krober had completed the Great Knight's breakthrough in the Hild Fortress during the Western Expedition some time ago.
However, only about half a year had passed, and he was about to reach the level of Earth Knight?
Veronica was filled with emotion when she recalled her experiences in her youth.
Even she had spent nearly a year and a half, overcoming countless hardships and obstacles before she successfully broke through to the level of Earth Knight.
Even so, she was still hailed as a peerless genius by the nobles of the kingdom.
More importantly, she had the powerful help of the Golden Dragon Blood Potion at that time, which enabled her to achieve a breakthrough so quickly.
But Krober does not have so many resources to support him.
"My Lord, I am indeed only one step away from becoming an Earth Knight. However, this is not entirely due to my talent, but rather to a new potion I developed within the territory."
After that, Krober introduced the efficacy and function of the Bauhinia Rose Potion to Grand Duke Veronica in detail, and even took out the finished product he brought with him to show her.
Veronica took the dark purple potion in her hand, feeling the abundant magic power and dragon blood fluctuations in it, and she couldn't help but cast a worried look at Krober.
"Such a strong dragon blood fluctuation, but you didn't feel any infection after taking it?"
From Veronica's perspective, such a strong fluctuation of dragon blood might even have a certain infection effect on the Fantasy Beast Knight. Krober is just a great knight, how could he resist the infection of dragon blood?
But Krober shook his head, indicating that he was not contaminated by the dragon's blood.
He simply let his fighting spirit linger on his palm, but the elegant purple-gold color instantly attracted the attention of Grand Duke Veronica.
"Isn't this the symbol of being infected..."
Veronica pondered to herself.
Wait! That's not right!
She suddenly realized that this was indeed a sign of being infected, but Kroeber told him clearly that it was not an infection.
Could it be that Krober has the physique to devour dragons?
As the princess of the kingdom, Veronica has received all kinds of top-level education since childhood, and is naturally familiar with the concept of dragon-eating body.
"But Kroeber didn't mention this explicitly. Is it because he's still unaware of it? Or is it because he hasn't confirmed it yet?"
