How could this happen? That was the savings of the Rufranc Kingdom for decades!
A large number of magical weapons and the latest military equipment manufactured by their country.
There was also a large amount of magical energy and crystal reserves, all stored there, but this time, they were all looted!
The most important thing is that the magic airship force was completely wiped out. Without the support of the magic airship force, how can we stop the invasion of the Holy Silver Dragon Empire?
Ordinary soldiers had no chance to fight back against the Silver Dragon Knights. Even the Magic Knights that the Frankish Kingdom had spent great effort to train, wearing magic-powered armor, could only match the Glorious Dragon Knights.
In the current situation, the Kingdom of Luflank has no way to fight against the Holy Silver Dragon Empire alone.
Could it be that he had to surrender to the Silver Dragon Empire, submit to them, downgrade his kingdom to a duchy, and hand over half of his territory in exchange for so-called peace?
Whenever the Holy Silver Dragon Empire conquered a country, if it was a kingdom, it would be downgraded to a principality and surrender half of its territory, which would then be incorporated into the Holy Silver Dragon Empire.
Of course, in return, all the people in the territory will become citizens of the Holy Silver Dragon Empire.
In addition, after being downgraded to a principality and submitting to the Silver Dragon Empire, half of the annual tax revenue must be handed over to the Silver Dragon Empire, and when the Silver Dragon Empire has large-scale military operations, more than half of the country's troops must be sent to participate in the war free of charge.
This was the Holy Silver Dragon Empire's rule over its principalities. If any of these rules were not fulfilled, then the small principality would have no reason to continue existing. It would be torn to pieces and razed to the ground by the Holy Silver Dragon Empire, and the entire country would be incorporated into the Holy Silver Dragon Empire's territory.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. For now, we should deal with the losses in the country. We are currently at war with the Holy Silver Dragon Empire, and we must not let this matter leak out." A general said.
"It's easy for you to say that we won't leak it out. Those two giant monsters attacked our treasury. Anyone with eyes can see it." Another general said.
It is basically impossible to block the news now. More than 20,000 soldiers died in the battle and the national treasury was robbed. This matter cannot be concealed at all.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the kingdom's Grand Magic Knight Mark should be severely punished. Grand Knight Mark neglected his duties, resulting in the looting of the national treasury and heavy losses for his soldiers." A civil official said.
"Hmph! Why should we punish Knight Commander Mark? What crime has he committed? He has tried his best. You guys try to face those two monsters." A magic knight said with a gloomy face.
Although the relationship between civil officials and military generals is not very harmonious, it is indeed a bit too much for civil officials to come and add insult to injury at this time.
Is it true that the monsters Grand Knight Mark faced were something that could be transformed by human power? And you're neglecting your duties! Why don't you just call it a natural disaster?
"Someone must step forward in this matter. The kingdom's soldiers demand an explanation, and the people of the fallen nation demand an explanation. They need to know which general lost their treasury and caused the deaths of over 20,000 soldiers."
"You bastard, Grand Knight Mark, who is he! Now is the critical moment to resist the Holy Silver Dragon Empire, and you actually let His Majesty the King destroy the Great Wall himself." Another general shouted angrily.
"Then who do you think is responsible for this matter? Who else could it be if not Mark?"
"No one is responsible. This was simply a natural disaster. Under the circumstances, no matter which general or leader of the kingdom was there, the outcome would have been the same. Nothing would have changed."
"Your Majesty, there is an envoy outside asking to see you." Just as a fierce quarrel broke out between the military officer and the civil official, a guard ran in hurriedly, knelt in front of the old King Seldon, and spoke.
"Which country is the envoy from?" the old king asked impatiently.
These civil servants proposed punishing Grand Knight Mark, but he had no intention of doing so. What period is this? Are you bastards still thinking about fighting among yourselves? The most important thing now is to resist the attack of the Holy Silver Dragon Empire!
"Your Majesty, the man who came is from the Holy Silver Dragon Empire. Moreover, he brought a piece of news that is very important." The guard knelt on the ground and spoke.
Are the Silver Dragon Empire's people here at this time? Did they get the news so quickly? They really arrived just in time!
He must have come here to persuade me to lead the Frankish Kingdom to surrender!
After all, the Kingdom of Luflank has now lost its magic airship force and has no ability to stop the attack of the Silver Dragon Knights of the Holy Silver Dragon Empire.
But no matter what, since the envoy has come from afar, he still has to meet him.
"Go and let her in!" said the old King Seldon.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard nodded and retreated respectfully.
A moment later, a man in his 30s, dressed in fine clothes, arrived at the palace of the Rufranc Kingdom.
Upon seeing the newcomer, the ruler and his ministers of the Rufranc Kingdom were all horrified. The newcomer was none other than Malthus, the Emperor of the Holy Silver Dragon Empire and a key minister of the Holy Dragon Emperor.
"What brings the Prime Minister of the Empire here, Prime Minister Malthus? Your country's envoy is actually you! I am really surprised!" asked the old King Seldon.
