I Became the Father of a Degenerate Emperor

Episode 40. Nothing to worry about.

Episode 40. Nothing to worry about.

How did it come to this?

It’s been a long time since the sun that was bright just a moment ago was covered by dark clouds.

The whole world was in a dark situation, as if heavy rain would pour down at any moment.

It might be fortunate if it was only the sky that became dark.

Fulgor was trying to conquer the Lake Earldom by commanding the allied forces.

A dark shadow was cast over his future as well.

I had an ominous feeling that not only would the unconventional reward I would receive when I majored in it fly away, but that it would be difficult for me to return alive.

Looking around, huge dragons were sitting all over the place watching.

‘Where did so many dragons suddenly appear? Is it right to continue this war?’

It was hard to say goodbye to retreat even with overwhelming troops.

Boom!

At that moment, the last catapult was shattered.

It was because a huge stone fired from the catapult hit the back of the yawning dragon’s head, and the angry dragon crushed the catapult with its massive body.

At first, the soldiers just stood still.

But, where did he get the courage to start attacking again?

Perhaps he believed in the sword masters and did so.

If it wasn’t for that, it wouldn’t have been so easy to get caught by dragons pretending to be careless.

The dragons have changed into human form and are leisurely strolling among the soldiers.

The defenselessness that flowed down from his body was sure to induce an attack.

One good thing was that dragons would never touch people unless they were attacked first.

But it seemed that some of the soldiers did not know that fact. No, maybe quite a lot.

At first, the soldiers split left and right at the approach of the dragon and opened their own way, but now they were looking for an opportunity with spears and knives one by one.

“Everybody stop attacking!”

However, no matter how hard they tried, the soldiers would not listen to them at all, and the orders of their adjutants were ignored.

‘Perhaps it’s because of the unconventional reward offered by Marine.’

It was because huge wealth and honor were promised to those who majored in it, and their over-excited desire distorted their perception of reality.

The situation where the command system doesn’t work at all anyway.

This was all due to hastily gathering soldiers from various kingdoms in the first place.

Shoo!

In the meantime, an archer shot an arrow.

The place where the arrow flew was the dragon that was yawning after destroying the catapult.

Not to be outdone by him, the other archers also shot their bows.

‘They say ignorant people are brave, but are these really crazy as a group?’

If the arrow could have pierced the dragon’s scales, there would have been no reason to stop it.

However, it can’t make even the slightest scratch, and you’ll have to pay the price with your life.

‘What on earth did he believe in and do such a thing!’

A dragon that instantly turned into a human and attacked the archer. The heart was already held in its grip, and the red mass was slowly stopping its beating.

I don’t know if they were angry at what their allies had suffered or if they really thought they could catch a dragon, but even the soldiers who had been saving themselves began to recklessly wield their spears.

‘Those crazy bastards.’

To dare to attack the dragon as a group when even the sword master is standing there blankly.

It was a terrible recklessness that could never have been done unless he had decided to die.

Of course, if all the sword masters here work together, hunting a single dragon won’t be that difficult.

However, if there are dozens of dragons, the story is very different.

If dozens of them attacked at once, it would be difficult for anyone, not even a sword master, to survive.

Everyone had their auras turned off and held their breath for a reason.

But the soldiers screamed and shouted.

“Attack all at once!”

“The first one caught is the owner!”

“In the end, even a dragon will die if it gets hit with a sword!”

“With so many soldiers, there is nothing to fear from dragons!”

“There is even a sword master!”

“If you win this war, you can become rich!”

“They said they would make you nobles if the empire collapsed!”

Soldiers each screaming such nonsense. He seemed to have no intention of stopping.

‘I heard there is no end to human greed.’

Looks like a swarm of flies running into a whirlwind.

A dragon that rages like a storm, ripping out its heart and bursting its head.

The soldiers were rushing at you and me, but only more and more bodies were piling up.

Besides, such situations were emerging all over the camp one after another, so if we continued like this, we might really be wiped out.

Looking at the rapidly grinding soldiers, it seemed that no matter how much I thought about it, there was no hope anymore.

‘We must hurry up and retreat!’

Bondi, when I thought it was late, it was the fastest way. So Fulgor shouted as best he could.

“Retreat! Do not touch the dragons and retreat!”

However, the soldiers, blinded by their major, had no intention of listening to him, and the dragons were taking pictures of invincibility, accurately killing only those who attacked them.

“What crazy! I mean, retreat immediately!”

‘No matter how different the nationality is, I didn’t expect that they wouldn’t listen to me this much.’

Fulgor looked at Duke Shade, unable to hide his dismay.

The Duke was staring at the allied forces in chaos with a cold face.

His soldiers were also calmly observing the situation with their weapons down.

The leadership was so good that it was incomparable to his own army.

‘This can never be won. That’s why people who live should live.’

Fulgor had no choice but to retreat in haste, gathering at least those who obeyed his orders.

The moment the dragons fell from the sky, Duke Shade was very surprised.

Of course, it wasn’t long before he regained his composure.

It was thanks to the past experience of crossing the line.

‘Dragons will never attack humans unless they attack first.’

The duke quickly gave the order.

“Everybody get your weapons!”

As the troops of the Duchess of Shade, who had undergone rigorous training, quickly carried out the order, the troops of the Countess of Lake followed suit.

Duke Shade recalled the emperor’s face while looking at the dragons.

‘I’m sure His Majesty did this.’

In the interview with the envoys, the emperor showed aloofness even in the face of the crisis of war.

‘These dragons must have been the reason.’

Then, at some point, Fulgor led his men into retreat.

‘It’s been a while since I kept my mouth open.’

Duke Shade looked up at the sky.

Bright beams of light pouring through the dark clouds.

The war will soon end.

Pontus, the first prince of the kingdom of Marinene.

‘Dragon, even Dragon Lord…… I heard something like that and was flying in the sky!’

I was a little scared, but it was so unbelievable that everything just seemed like a dream.

Marine’s second queen, Melissa.

After that nasty woman came in, she not only lost her status as crown prince, but also her mother, her first queen.

In the end, he was threatened with the life of his poisoned father and driven to death.

I thought there was no hope anymore.

However, the emperor of the empire, whom the rest of the world pointed at as crazy, reached out to him.

He asserted that it not only prevented war, but also detoxified his father’s poisoning.

I had some hope, but it was so unlikely that it would come true, so I thought it was just the crap of a mad emperor.

But today, after seeing the dragons covering the sky, I had no choice but to change my mind.

If there were that many dragons, everything in the kingdom would be paralyzed just by sitting down in the palace.

Fear is also fear, but I can’t understand why the dragons are doing this, and everyone will be stunned.

Aiming at that moment, the emperor promised to detoxify the poisoned king.

If the king’s father wakes up, he will stop this ridiculous war right away, and Melissa will die in her terrible agony.

Shortly after Melissa fell in love with her father, she replaced all of her ministers in important positions with her own.

So, after her father fell, no one could stop her runaway, and she built a glass greenhouse next to the queen’s palace and openly prepared poison.

As soon as they arrived at the palace, they had agreed to take the emperor there.

Thump!

I was surprised by the sound of the dragon landing and looked out the window to see a familiar landscape.

Marine’s Royal Palace.

We arrived at our destination before we knew it.

*

Thump! Kugu Palace! Thump thump!

Once Astrum landed, other dragons landed on the floor of the palace in succession.

Big and small cracks were forming, and the bricks that filled the floor were breaking into pieces.

Astrum landed so violently that the ground caved in, and the wind caused the carriage to shake so badly that it almost shattered the potted plant with the saintess’s orchid.

“It’s much more cramped than Kratus’ palace.”

After putting down the carriage, Astrum changed into a human form.

Finally, Pontus continued his speech with a spleen expression.

“This way, Your Majesty.”

At the same time, the screams of the courtiers who witnessed the dragons began to flow.

Kyaaak!

It’s a dragon!

The soldiers guarding the palace also rushed in.

Of course, there was nothing they could do.

Everyone was frightened and fell backwards as the dragons blocked their way and fired their breaths into the air.

In addition, numerous dragons flying over the palace were also roaring menacingly and attracting all eyes around them.

Then Astrum suddenly turned his gaze somewhere and began to sniff him like a beast.

“There is something interesting nearby. I need to go for a while.”

After saying that, Astrum disappeared in an instant.

Following Pontus’ guidance, I headed to the glasshouse with Max.

The flowerpot in which the saintess’ orchid was planted had been handed over to Pontus, and a secret wish was in my hand.

As soon as he entered the greenhouse, Pontus cried out in hatred.

“Melissa! You wicked b*tch!”

At the place where Pontus’ hostility was directed, there was a pretty-looking woman with a frightened face, perhaps because she had heard the sound of the dragon.

“You, are you Pontus? Why are you still alive!”

“Your Majesty, that b*tch. That b*tch is the one who started this ridiculous war!”

Melissa cried out urgently for her help.

“Hello, Royal Guard! Praetorian!”

Her voice was very desperate and urgent, but no one came to help her.

Perhaps it was because he was chained to a dragon.

I silently lifted the secret palace and pulled the string with all my might.

I didn’t intend to kill him because of the king’s poison, but it seemed necessary to scare him.

The mastermind who tried to destroy the empire by causing a massive war.

Innocent people are probably dying right now because of the war this woman started.

Melissa only put on a puzzled expression, but she couldn’t do this or that. It was because her entrance was blocked.

I aimed at her right arm.

Melissa was startled as if she was going to faint when she finally checked my appearance.

“That, blonde and red eyes! Kratu…….”

At that moment, the aim was completed and the protest naturally bounced off.

Pot!

A sharp scream followed and Melissa, who lost her arm, fell behind her.

“Keep it! Buy, save me…….”

She was moaning and crying in her pain. Still, it seemed she didn’t want to die.

Pontus spat out a harsh voice at Melissa.

“You evil b*tch! How dare the b*tch who killed her mother and poisoned her father dare to ask for help!”

Melissa said with tears in her eyes as if she was really unfair.

“I couldn’t help it either. I was being threatened too!”

As I thought, there must have been a separate background.

It was a war of aggression that led to the union of many kingdoms.

Even though Marinene had a lot of money, it was too much for a single queen to come up with and pursue.

Melissa said, weeping with her guilty face.

“You guys don’t know. How terrible there are in this royal palace right now. No one will survive!”

The terrible existence Melissa was talking about must have been a demon.

Perhaps the reason Astrum disappeared was because he felt the presence of demons.

Then there’s nothing to worry about.

Since the dragons have spread to the borders, the war will of course be stopped, and now, if only the king detoxifies it, Pontus will swear allegiance to me.

Then you can eat Marinene raw.

The empire will resume trade and will be rejuvenated in an instant.

So now, all you have to do is get the ingredients for her poison from Melissa and make her an antidote.
