The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

Audrey raised her eyebrows triumphantly and laughed.

"Haha, we really caught a princess! Tell me, what are you going to do? Take the princess back and have her bear you ten or eight little dragon people?"

Atilan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"No, the princess of the River Valley Kingdom is not a simple birthing tool. Her status is much more valuable than her reproductive ability. Let's go into the city and take a look. I'm very curious how a princess could appear in this place by such a coincidence."

Although the River Valley Kingdom is only a small country with a land area of less than 300,000 square kilometers, the River Valley Kingdom has a dense river network and very fertile soil, and there are no major nobles internally. The power of the kingdom is firmly in the hands of the River Valley King.

The River Valley King has status, and his princess's status will naturally rise accordingly.

This town, which Atilan commanded his army to attack at night, is indeed the most important town in the western part of the River Valley Kingdom. Although it is not large, the merchants coming and going bring huge benefits to the River Valley Kingdom.

Because it is a commercial town, in order to facilitate merchants to come and trade, this town, although it has city walls, the city walls are not high or thick, and such a small town actually has eight gates.

Too many city gates naturally make defense inconvenient.

In addition, the River Valley Kingdom has not experienced war for decades. The soldiers here have regarded guarding the city as a job to make money, not a job that will cost them their heads. The overly lax soldiers allowed Atilan's troops to break through the town without encountering strong resistance.

If the mountain villages along the way, the werewolves and wild boar people encountered strong resistance from the mountain village hunters, then this town filled with a large number of merchants seemed overly weak.

Atilan saw strong flames, but he didn't smell too much blood after entering the town. He curiously looked at the centaur general beside him.

"You said you caught the princess, but why isn't there a strong smell of blood?"

The centaur general waved the long knife in his hand dismissively.

"The general asked us to practice killing as few humans as possible in battle. Before, in the mountain villages, it was because those hunters resisted too strongly, and their strength was not bad."

"We can't control our power, but the soldiers in this town are different. Not only is their strength inferior to the women hunters, but even their courage is worse than children."

"The princess did bring a lot of guards, but after I accidentally killed a few guards who shouted that the front was the princess's residence and told me to leave quickly, their courage obviously deteriorated."

"The werewolf general shouted again, 'Those who don't want to die, get out of here!' and they actually abandoned the princess and ran away. On the contrary, the princess inside, with two maids, rushed out with swords."

"If the werewolf general hadn't been agile, he would have been stabbed by her sneak attack."

Atilan looked at the front with interest.

"How is the princess now?"

The centaur general said with a smile:

"Don't worry, general. The werewolf general is the most agile among the three of us. The princess was knocked unconscious by him and was not seriously injured. The shaman simply treated her and tied her up."

The corner of Atilan's mouth twitched.

"Audrey, we are elemental dragons, not goblins. Can you please stop talking about ten or eight children every time you open your mouth? Also, where did you see the story of an evil dragon capturing a princess?"

"You should know that there's more to it. Isn't the second half of the story about the brave man fighting the evil dragon, saving the princess, and living happily ever after?"

Audrey blinked her eyes in confusion and asked:

"Really? But what I saw was that the princess was attracted by the evil dragon's vast territory, the wealth all over the dragon's lair, and the handsome appearance of the high elf he transformed into."

"She chose to stay and have ten or eight children with the evil dragon, rejecting the ugly and poor brave man."

Then Audrey reached out and poked Atilan's smooth cheek.

"Look at your handsome appearance. When the princess opens her eyes and sees you, she will definitely be moved by your beauty and take the initiative to say that she wants to marry you."

"I don't think so."

"Do you want to make another bet?"

"No."

Soon, they arrived at the princess's residence, where the door had been smashed open by the wild boar general's wolf-tooth club.

The unconscious princess was lying on a door panel, and two maids looked at Atilan and the others who came in with terrified expressions, but they didn't dare to do anything and were too scared to move.

Atilan waved his hand and released a green light. The princess groaned and opened her eyes, looking nervously at the maids who were turning to look at her.

"Princess, are you alright?"

"I..."

Obviously, the princess who had just woken up was a little dazed and didn't realize what she had encountered. Then, she turned her head and looked at the ferocious alien soldiers around her before she realized that she had been captured.

"Are you really the princess of the River Valley Kingdom?"

Hearing this voice, the princess's heart tightened.

"Yes, who are you? Why are you attacking the River Valley Kingdom?"

"We are just passing by and needed some food, so we took some from you. Don't worry, we will try our best not to harm your people."

The princess snorted coldly with a hint of sadness.

"They are not my people. My good brother is afraid that I will compete with him for the throne of the River Valley King. As soon as he received the marriage request from the Northern Kingdom, he immediately chose to marry me off."

Audrey frowned and asked:

"Isn't the River Valley King an old man?"

An old king, his heir should be such a young and beautiful princess, and a younger prince than her.

"My father was poisoned and fell into a coma. It should have been done by my good brother. Now that I think about it, my eldest brother was ambushed by the Canglang Kingdom's army back then. I guess it was also his doing."

"My father probably found out something, so he poisoned my father, restricted my movements, and prepared to send me to the Northern Kingdom."

Atilan continued to release his mental power, guiding the princess to say more of what he wanted to know.

"So, the soldiers who ran away just now didn't run away because they were timid, but because they were the little prince's people. They deliberately abandoned you to our group of aliens, just to use our hands to eliminate you?"

The princess said through gritted teeth:

"That's right, he is really my good brother. I originally thought that he would wait until after I left the River Valley Kingdom before taking action to eliminate me, because if I really went to the Northern Kingdom and became queen..."

"I would still bring the soldiers of the Northern Kingdom back to kill him!"

Atilan rubbed his fingernails with a smile that was not a smile.

"Are you so confident that the Northern King will help you?"

"Although Brother Sandraco has just taken over the throne, we have liked each other since we were young. As long as my good brother is eliminated, our son will be able to get a large piece of new territory."

"I don't think he would be unwilling."

Atilan's brow twitched. He had originally thought that this Dragon Yang Crown Prince would also have a bone-related Dragon Kui Princess, but he didn't expect that the Dragon Yang Crown Prince actually liked a princess from a neighboring country.

"Was your marriage requested by Sandrake?"

The princess shook her head and said:

"It was decided by my father and the previous Northern King. The Northern King discovered that the Eastern Guardian within the country was not very stable, so he needed the River Valley Kingdom further east to help him keep an eye on the Eastern Guardian."

Atilan reached out and brushed the messy hair on the princess's face behind her ear.

"Then do you know that the Eastern Guardian has officially launched a rebellion? If you really go to the Eastern Territory, there is only one ending: death!"

The princess's eyes widened immediately.

"How is that possible? Could it be that my good brother is in cahoots with the Eastern Guardian?"

Atilan was amazed by the princess's keen thinking. That's right, how could he not have thought that the alliance between the Western Territory Grand Duke and the Eastern Territory Grand Duke was not just him? The surrounding human kingdoms, when faced with the internal strife of the Northern Kingdom, how could they not want to tear off a piece of meat?

At this time, they only need to create a little accident within other kingdoms, then they will naturally have no time and energy to pay attention to the affairs of the Northern Kingdom.

But for some reason, Atilan suddenly felt some unusual aura.

The Western Territory Grand Duke and the Eastern Territory Grand Duke smoothly integrated the discordant nobles within their respective territories, and at the same time launched a large army to attack the Southern Territory. It is said that they have successfully met in front of the main city of the Southern Territory Guardian.

And our Dragon Yang Crown Prince has not yet integrated the nobles of the royal territory to raise troops to respond to the rebellion, which is very unusual.

Even the allies his father had prepared for him were killed, and killed very smoothly.

Audrey Kiss waved her hand in front of Atilan's eyes.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking, does the River Valley Kingdom really have no objections to the king being poisoned? Princess, what do you think?"

The princess was stunned for a moment, carefully recalling the situation after her father fell into a coma.

"It seems... really no one stood up. They didn't even care whether my father could be cured, but together they elected my good brother to succeed to the throne."

Audrey Kiss waved her hand impatiently.

"Why care so much about the affairs of the River Valley Kingdom? I only know that the old guy stole my things, and he will pay the price!"

The princess immediately retorted excitedly:

"Impossible, my father has always warned us that the most important reason why the River Valley Kingdom can be so prosperous now is because it protects the merchants who come to trade."

"Merchants from all directions use the blood of the River Valley Kingdom to allow us to continuously obtain strength, so we must never allow merchants to be robbed in the River Valley Kingdom."

Audrey Kiss snorted coldly.

"The caravan was transporting treasures I bought from the Frostwood Forest. It's normal for you to be tempted, no need to hide anything."

The princess suddenly widened her eyes.

"My father was poisoned with an ancient frost poison potion from the Frostwood Forest. It is said that even among the Frostwood Elves, there are not many druids who can解开 this poison."

Atilan turned his head curiously to look at Audrey Kiss.

"In the treasures transported by your caravan, is there this frost poison potion?"

The clever Audrey Kiss immediately clenched her fists and said through gritted teeth:

"So it wasn't the old River Valley guy who stole my things, it was his son! But how would he know that there was a frost poison potion in my caravan?"

Atilan blew on his fingernails.

"Like you said, why think so much, just kill your way to the River Valley Capital and ask him?"

Audrey Kiss rubbed her hands excitedly.

"Good idea, I want to see blood flow like a river!"

Atilan washed the dirt off the princess's face with clean water, and then used the clean water to make a crown shape and put it on the princess's head.

"Princess, I wonder if you are interested in becoming the River Valley King?"

The princess looked at Atilan coldly.

"What do you want to do?"

"Rather than becoming the Queen of the Northern Kingdom, I think you would rather be able to become the River Valley King, otherwise your brother would not be so afraid of you, even though he has already eliminated your eldest brother, he still needs to escort you away nervously."

"Princess, meeting us is the luckiest thing in your life. Now is your last chance. If you don't seize it, you can only go to the realm of death and meet your Sandrake Prince."

A light of ambition appeared in the princess's eyes.

"What do I need to pay?"

Atilan raised her chin.

"I really like your eyes. From today on, the River Valley Kingdom belongs to you, and you belong to me!"

The princess snorted coldly.

"Then what's the difference between me and becoming the Queen of the Northern Kingdom?"

"Of course there is a difference. The difference is that I will not restrict how you manage the River Valley Kingdom. If there are disobedient nobles, I can also help you eliminate them by the way."

"How about it?"

The princess thought for a while, and finally looked at Atilan with a steady gaze.

"Deal!"

Just like Atilan said, she can only rely on Atilan now. Even if this is an alien army, there are also elves, dwarves, centaurs, and halflings living in the River Valley Kingdom.

Humans occupy the dominant position, but the status of other races is not bad.

Audrey Kiss frowned and asked:

"Then, can the people of River Valley Capital still be killed?"

"Yes, but only a little bit can be killed."

Audrey Kiss was unhappy.

"Boring, I want to see blood flow like a river!"

"If those nobles don't appreciate it, then you should also be able to see blood flow like a river. After all, nobles have many family members, and they can eat enough, so there is relatively more blood."

Audrey Kiss waved her hand dismissively and refused.

"Just that few people, it's better to watch you and her have ten or eight children."

The princess suddenly showed a horrified look. Although she was prepared to dedicate herself, ten or eight children were completely beyond her imagination.

"Princess, since you are qualified to compete with the little prince for the throne, then there should also be a group of nobles who are loyal to you, right?"

The princess nodded, then shook her head.

"Originally, some nobles supported me, but since my father briefly woke up and said that he would let my brother inherit the throne after his death, their attitudes have been a little wrong."

Audrey Kiss asked in confusion:

"Even if a dragon eats frost poison, it will sleep for a year or two. Can you humans wake up after eating it?"

The princess said with a gloomy face:

"My brother found a strange pharmacist who used a sulfur-smelling potion to wake my father. Although my father fell asleep again soon, he did wake up briefly."

Sulfur-smelling potion, Atilan and Audrey Kiss looked at each other.

Perhaps humans have forgotten because of time, but as elemental dragons, they will not forget what the smell of sulfur is most closely related to.

"Are you sure it's sulfur-smelling?"
