Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress-Chapter 732 - 418 Calamity Is it my calamity or is it

Chapter 732: Chapter 418: Calamity? Is it my calamity or is it Dragon Cub’s calamity? Chapter 732: Chapter 418: Calamity? Is it my calamity or is it Dragon Cub’s calamity? Saint Blue targeted the nobles and the royal family of the Red Maple Kingdom without making life difficult for the people of the occupied regions. Tixia did not want a shattered Red Maple but aimed to strengthen Saint Blue quickly. Thus, they couldn’t completely crush the Red Maple Kingdom.

If persuasion of surrender worked, that was preferred; otherwise, Dragon Island Giant Dragon would be called upon to intimidate the army of the Red Maple Kingdom, crushing their will to fight. Regarding the people of the occupied regions, Saint Blue would first investigate the local lords. If the lord was a capable and talented noble,

Saint Blue would continue to let the lord govern the land. If the lord was incompetent and the land was in chaos, Saint Blue would depose that lord, even try him, and then take over the territory, seeking talents from within.

These talents would then be sent to Holy Blue Royal City in batches.

After the war, Saint Blue would also treat the soldiers of the Red Maple Kingdom. As for those soldiers who died in the war, efforts would be made to obtain their names and then conceal them to facilitate their families’ future claims.

Different stances, each loyal to their own master. Once on the battlefield, they would either surrender or die in battle.

Those willing to fight to the death for the Red Maple Kingdom were either generals or the guards loyal to the nobles. These soldiers were well-equipped, well-fed, well-dressed, and highly skilled.

Knowing they were no match, they were still willing to die for the nobles they served.

Knights of the Blue Moon Army of Saint Blue were also willing to honor their loyalty.

However, when Lady Creya led the grand army of Saint Blue to the walls of the capital of Red Maple Kingdom, the war between Saint Blue and Red Maple Kingdom was nearing its end.

Especially when the guards on the city walls saw that the army encircling the city was led by the former royal family princess, Lady Creya, their will to fight grew even weaker.

Princess Lady Creya was the true royalty of the Red Maple Kingdom.

As Creya surrounded the capital, mixed emotions overwhelmed her. Before pledging loyalty to Lance and Saint Blue, she had imagined leading an army to recapture the city, but then she had known it couldn’t be done without five to fifteen years.

After pledging loyalty to Lance and Saint Blue, she knew that even if Red Maple Kingdom didn’t intend to swallow up Saint Blue, Saint Blue’s territory would gradually expand.

The stupidest thing McDonna did was to spread rumors about Lance, falsely accusing him of being an Abyssal Demon.

This act completely enraged Saint Blue, especially after Lance fought to the death against the Abyssal Demons, intensifying their hatred towards him.

Before Tixia declared war on the Red Maple Kingdom, calls to annihilate it had already emerged within Saint Blue.

Ironically, McDonna’s initial success in becoming King of Red Maple Kingdom was also thanks to Saint Blue’s fortunes.

Now, the one severing his dreams as king was also Saint Blue.

Made by Saint Blue, destroyed by Saint Blue.

His feelings must be quite complex now, mustn’t they?

On the second day of besieging the capital, Creya officially revealed her identity as the princess to the city’s guard and began persuading them to surrender.

News of Princess Creya’s return quickly spread throughout the capital.

On the third day of the siege, King McDonna of the Red Maple Kingdom appeared on the city wall, protected by heavy cavalry, facing Creya across the moat.

“Lady Creya, do you personally want to destroy the kingdom of your ancestors? You must understand, Red Maple Royal Family isn’t just my Red Maple Kingdom, it is also your Red Maple Kingdom. Although I seized the throne, I did not change the kingdom’s name.

Unlike you, you are not only part of the Red Maple Royal Family but now also a Marshal of Saint Blue. After Saint Blue swallows the Red Maple Kingdom, there will no longer be a Red Maple, only Saint Blue.

Is this what you want to see?”

Mounted on a Flying Dragon, Creya laughed, the cunning McDonna was actually employing psychological tactics.

If she hadn’t stayed in Saint Blue, if she hadn’t seen Lance’s free-range style of managing territories, she might actually have been swayed by McDonna’s words.

“As long as the citizens of Red Maple Kingdom can live and work in peace, adults have land to cultivate, children have schools to attend, and everyone can have enough food and clothing, the end of the Red Maple Kingdom under my hands doesn’t matter.

As a former princess of the Red Maple Kingdom, I am not responsible for the kingdom’s name; I am only responsible for its citizens.

McDonna, surrender. The Royal City is now an isolated city; you have no chance of turning the tide.

Surrender to Saint Blue; you and your family still have a chance to live, if you persist in resisting, then once the city falls, you and your family will be completely erased.”

McDonna was silent.

At this stage, he also knew his momentum was gone; he had no more standing to compete with Saint Blue.

How long had he been king?

Did he rebel merely to taste what it felt like to be a king?

If he had known that successful rebellion would end in national destruction, he might as well have honestly stayed a duke…

Saint Blue…

Who could have imagined that the entity to obliterate him and the Red Maple Kingdom would be a land that once was so barren that nobody would even take a second look?

Stepping on that soil would supposedly bring bad luck, and looking at its people for even a moment, one might fear contracting a disease.

Before, that place wasn’t even worthy of a name.

It was a place without a future, even on the verge of vanishing from the map of the Red Maple Kingdom.

But just this place, because of the emergence of one person, had harshly carved a path to the heavens from a location utterly devoid of futures.

He had investigated Saint Blue and without exaggeration, without that Lord Viscount, Saint Blue as it is known today would absolutely not exist!
