The Wizarding World's Monster Master

Chapter 18 Arrival at the Imperial Capital
Faced with such sad news, the 16-year-old prince couldn't help but tremble twice and fell to his knees.

"Your Highness, you must take care of yourself."

"His Royal Highness the King has passed away. Now you are our backbone. You are now the only heir to the Kingdom of Ayers. Nothing can happen to you." The two servants hurriedly supported the little prince who was kneeling on the ground and spoke.

"How could this happen! How could this happen! Empire! Don't small countries like us even have space to survive? Ah!" The little prince punched the ground angrily, venting his anger.

Half a month ago, he accepted his father's order and came to the Impru Kingdom to marry Princess Yaxue. The union of the two represented an alliance between the two kingdoms, and they could fight against the invasion of the empire together.

During the time he was preparing for his wedding, he had been exchanging letters with his father. His father's reply was usually that the war here was relatively stable, so he didn't need to worry and should get married as soon as possible and then return with reinforcements from the Impru Kingdom.

But unexpectedly, on the first day of their marriage, they received the tragic news that their kingdom had been destroyed.

"Damn it, Your Majesty King Charlips, please, please hand over your kingdom's army to me. Let me take back my homeland!" The young prince knelt down in front of the king and said.

"Father! Please help him." Princess Yaxue also ran over and supported her husband who had just got married, and spoke.

"Today is your wedding, you shouldn't accept such bad news. Let's discuss this tomorrow," said the old king.

"No! King Charlips, please, please lend me your army! My kingdom has just been conquered, and it must not have completely surrendered. As long as I lead the army to fight back, the people of the kingdom will support me, and we will soon drive out the invading empire."

"I said, let's talk about this tomorrow." After saying this, the old king turned around and left.

"If you don't agree, I will kneel here until you change your mind." Looking at the old king leaving, the young prince said stubbornly.

The old king returned to his study room somewhat angrily. He thought that by joining forces with the Kingdom of Els, he could effectively control the Empire, and at least protect himself. But who could have imagined that the Kingdom of Els would fall so quickly?

"Your Majesty, a man claiming to be an imperial envoy is seeking an audience outside."

"Let him in." The old king sighed helplessly. Did he also have to give up half of his territory and become a vassal state of the empire?

If I do this, how can I be worthy of the successive kings of the Impuru Kingdom?

"Good day, Your Majesty!" A middle-aged man wearing a tall hat and luxurious suit came to the old king, bowed and spoke.

"Tell me your purpose, envoy of the empire."

"Then I will make it short, Your Majesty. Our Empire can accept you. Due to the submission of the Kingdom of Pru, you will become a vassal principality of our Empire."

"The condition is that I cede half of my territory, right?" said the old king.

"No, no! No, Your Majesty. This condition is a policy for friendly countries that voluntarily surrender to the Empire. In view of the fact that your kingdom has rebelled against the Empire many times, if you are willing to surrender, you can only retain all the territories of the capital of Le'erlos, and all other territories will be divided under the rule of the Empire." The envoy of the Empire did not give the old king any face at all.

"You bastard, are you crazy? We can't agree to such conditions." A country only retains one capital, are you kidding? Will we still be a complete country in that case? How will the people in the country view themselves?

"Please, old king, I didn't expect you to agree, because our empire wants to take over your capital as well, so I met Your Majesty on the battlefield. By the way, this time there will be ten real dragon knights appearing on the battlefield. This is a rare and spectacular scene!" After the imperial envoy said this, he wanted to leave arrogantly.

The two guards at the door drew their swords and put them on the neck of the imperial envoy. How could they let you leave so easily after humiliating your own country like this?

"Your Majesty, are you planning to tear up the agreement between countries and kill envoys from other countries without authorization?" The imperial envoy asked with some cold sweat on his head.

"I don't intend to kill you, and I won't violate the treaty between the countries on the continent, but the treaty doesn't say that I can't cut off your ears." The old king said with a cold expression.

"You! You can't do this. I, I am the envoy of the empire. If you do this, your entire royal family will be punished by the empire on the day the country is conquered." The envoy said in horror.

"Hmph! Guards, cut off his ears, both of them, and then drive him out of the city."

"As you command, Your Majesty." The guard's eyes exuded incomparable coldness. He grabbed the imperial envoy's neck with one hand and cut off both of his ears.

"Ah! Ah! How dare you, how dare you, I, I am from the Moore family!" But here, no one is afraid of the Moore family.

"General Badruk, how many troops does the kingdom have now?" asked the old king.

I originally planned to surrender directly to the empire, but I didn't expect that the empire would look down on me and others so much, so I decided to fight.

"Your Majesty, the total military strength of the country is currently 20. If we recruit some militiamen and civilian laborers, we can probably gather 30 people."

"Gather all the troops in the kingdom and take out all the money and treasures in the treasury. I want to hire some large mercenary groups to join the war." said the old king.

Even if my kingdom is to be destroyed, you, the empire, will not have an easy time. I will definitely bite off a piece of meat from your Holy Silver Dragon Empire.

The next day, the little prince, who had been kneeling all night, received a notice from his father-in-law, asking him to go to his homeland with the army.

……

After several hours of long-distance flight on the dragon, Glinx finally saw an extremely huge and majestic city.

It is an extremely majestic ancient city-state, with extremely grand palaces and city walls, countless winding prosperous streets, and bustling urban areas.

This is the capital of the Holy Silver Dragon Empire, with a permanent population of over 10 million and a non-resident population of three to four million.

This is a place that would be a super huge city even on modern Earth.

"We have arrived at Glinx, the capital of the Holy Silver Dragon Empire, Ruyiel. This place was established when the empire was still a kingdom." Isabella said.

"After we settle down, you can take this kid to have a good tour of the imperial capital! We are going down now. We True Dragon Knights are not allowed to fly in the city. I will drop you off at the city gate in a while, and you can enter the city on your own." Drake said.
