I Regressed to My Ruined Family Chapter 297

＃When I returned, my family was ruined (298)

Strong.

Even more than you can imagine.

The high-ranking dragons gathered here knew that their rulers had died at the hands of the duke.

However, this news was treated as a top secret. Rulers known as the Dragonlord’s faithful hands. If it were known that they were killed en masse by just one human, the mythical dignity of the dragon lords could be damaged.

It was unavoidable to prevent chaos in the barely formed nation.

Still, there were aspects that I didn’t really take seriously at the time.

No matter what anyone says, the person with the greatest influence in human society was the Demon Dragon, and thanks to him being alive, the influence of the Dragon Clan on the Western Continent was still firmly maintained.

I thought he was someone worth being wary of.

In particular, the news recently delivered from Demon Dragon could not help but cause even more alarm. Heidern is preparing for war.

Maybe they will send an army to Dragonia.

They say they will do their best to prevent military movements, but they cannot guarantee anything.

The demon dragon definitely said that.

Despite the warning, the Dragonian dragons were not too worried about that fact. It was because of the peace that had been maintained for too long.

This was especially true because the humans had never once made a move to conquer themselves.

Oh, no way….

The roots of the dragon race were still deeply entrenched in human society.

How could it possibly hit the southern continent without removing its roots?

Everyone thought so.

Repeated peace eventually exhausted all the high-ranking dragons.

In addition, the fact that the relationship between each ruler and the high-ranking dragons was not very good also played a role.

It was true that the rulers clearly possessed greater power than themselves due to the limbs and limbs of the monarch. Even so, in the end, they were the ones running Dragonia. It might have been when they first headed to the West Continent, but now more than ten years have passed.

There was no longer a vertical relationship between themselves and their rulers.

It is just a horizontal relationship where each person shares their roles with each other having their own area and mission. The arrogance of the high-ranking dragons, who gradually increased their power while the monarch lived in seclusion, eventually grew to the point where they harbored such arrogance.

There were virtually no ministers who listened to the demon dragon’s words. Even though I bowed my head on the outside, I just ignored it on the inside.

In the end, we faced Ardan’s army without any preparation. It was as if the light had been set on fire.

“…Where is the human army headed?”

“…I presume it is Polonem, a large city located in the north.”

“What happens to Polonem’s security forces?”

“If we gather all the ordinary people in the castle, we will be able to squeeze out up to 30,000 people.”

Thirty thousand dragon people.

It was truly an enormous number. It was also a group that could not even be imagined in the past.

In the days when the logic of the fittest prevailed, even members of the same race would often eat each other at the first opportunity.

It was an environment where the number of individuals could not increase at all.

As the southern continent was divided into hundreds of tribes, wars were common. Therefore, at that time, even the largest tribe could not have more than 5,000 members.

But it was different now. At least on the surface, cannibalism has long since disappeared. All dragons are of one equal race, that is, of the same race.

Predation of one’s own kind is prohibited.

The same goes for waging war among fellow countrymen. Everything is claimed by the leaders of the pack by dueling.

The laws enacted after the dragon lord’s accession to the throne played a decisive role in increasing the population of dragons. However, the quality of individual Yongin was not as poor as it was in the past, an era of war and barbarism.

This was because the human technological system was introduced, and as the population increased, the number of dragons with outstanding talents also increased. Unlike the past, the Yongin people had developed greatly.

It was natural to look down on humans. Just 3,000 dragons in a small city would be able to show off the power of a human army of at least 15,000.

Moreover, I had never even imagined that Duke Ethan, whom I had only heard about, would have this much prestige.

“…It’s a total mess. “If we dispatch the Capital Defense Force, it will take a few days for them to arrive, right?”

“…Even if I send it now, it will take at least a month.”

“…I’m going crazy. Three small towns were occupied in one day. With that level of prestige, the remaining small cities would also collapse helplessly. Even if it’s a mid-city city, there’s nothing you can do about it. “But one month?”

“But if it’s a medium city, the walls are half times higher than in a small city, and high-class dragons are also located there…”

“Do you think that has any meaning? Who on earth is going to stop that crazy guy from climbing up the castle wall? “This is a guy who can cut down even mid-level dragons!”

“….”

“What if you use mana? “Is there an answer?”

The ministers bowed their heads in response to the prime minister’s question. Actually, there wasn’t. It was not strange to treat a being with that much power as a walking army rather than an individual. What on earth can stop a military-level entity that just jumps over the castle wall?

Senior Yongin?

They were clearly strong individuals. To the extent that even rulers use them as middle-level servants rather than lower-ranking servants. Even so, in the end, it only meant enough to the rulers to make them part of their household.

Even if hundreds or thousands of high-level dragons attacked, it was unlikely that they would be able to defeat that human.

“…To stop that man, all the ministers and military commanders here will have to move.”

Everyone was surprised by the Prime Minister’s words.

That was like saying that the highest level dragons should move together in groups.

Extremely high-ranking individuals who are at the top of the ruler’s household.

Each of their powers was beyond superhuman. They were also powerful people who could spar with transcendents if they used their powers in earnest.

Starting with the ministers gathered here, most of the dragons in charge of commanders of each army had reached the highest level.

Among the hundreds of thousands of dragons, there are no more than three hundred beings at the highest level of power.

Among them, the strongest individuals were evaluated as the second strongest after the six rulers. Representatively, Chancellor Kreutz was one of such strongmen.

“But the problem is… even if you move like that, your chances of winning seem slim. “Isn’t everyone guessing?”

“….”

Everyone remained silent. As far as is known to the world, it is an article that states that the state of transcendence has been reached. As if that weren’t enough, I heard that they were also paired with a spiritist who handles monarchs. Moreover, did that elementalist even show his face during this occupation war?

No, even if the spiritist is second to none.

The duke had not yet achieved even 1/3 of his ability. He simply displayed his monstrous status through pure physical strength.

“…Ardan of this generation awakened the flame called white flame. “I heard that the heat is enough to melt even the ruler’s outer shell.”

“…Visiting the Prime Minister and the Monarch…”

“That is the last resort. At most, it is a big city. And it hasn’t collapsed yet. “I don’t know if those guys are advancing on the capital, but if not… At best, the monarch won’t wake up because of this issue.”

The ministers sighed. Since the battle with the head of Ardan in the past, the monarch had not moved a single step from the royal basement.

They knew it too.

The issue is not yet important enough to move the monarch.

But isn’t it also important to them? If you asked me that, I could have said no. Invasion of Ardan. The destruction of cities one after another.

Even silent monarchs and ruling classes.

It was still okay. Because I was preventing rumors as much as possible. However, you cannot cover the sky with one hand. Soon, not only the high-ranking dragons, but also the dull people and even the cross-race slaves will learn about Ardan’s invasion.

Ardan moved with a desire for revenge on the past actions of the dragonlord.

Cities collapsing.

Even the high-ranking people remain silent despite this. It was clear that dissatisfaction would be widespread. If he was careful, the status of a monarch who was close to deification could have been damaged.

For the ministers who were enjoying the glory under the monarch, it was a story that was nothing short of lightning.

Moreover, the crucial issue is.

This issue was not something that could be solved simply by sending tens of thousands of troops.

The Duke’s divine status is not only divine status.

Crucially, the biggest problem was the tone of the dragon tribe. In the past, when a tribal society was formed, it was natural for the tribal leader to participate in battle in the front row.

This was because it was natural for the tribe’s strongest warrior to lead everyone. The ministers present here also did the same thing. Then, society was integrated into one by the dragon lord, a nation was formed, and a new power structure was experienced.

There was peace for a long time after that. However, this trend did not disappear easily.

The reason the six rulers went to the Western Continent was because of that trend.

Because he was in a position to set an example by being the first to lead the invasion.

The reason why the ministers remained was because of the need for someone to govern the internal affairs of the country. But now the invaders have come.

It was obvious that if they did not take the lead, the people’s dissatisfaction would pile up uncontrollably.

Even just 30 years ago, the ministers would have taken the lead in stopping humans before anyone else.

But now…

“…what should I do?”

A minister asked. The essence of this question was simple. Should we act to stop the author?

Even at the risk of losing one’s life.

In the past, they were also the ruling class. However, at best he only served as a chieftain at the tribal level. It is said that he did not have the level of power that he has now where he can control hundreds of thousands of dragons with a single command.

Such power was addictive, like a drug.

I never wanted to let go of this power. But death is equal for everyone. Even a monarch with mythical authority would have his glory forgotten when he died and crumbled to dust.

Even more so, what about those who are weaker than that? That’s why they didn’t want to put their own lives on the line.

There was no longer any fighting spirit like fighting dogs that would sacrifice their lives to bite their opponent’s leash like in the past.

That was the same even for Prime Minister Cruatz, who had the strongest power in this place.

“…What do you want everyone to do?”

“…If the Prime Minister, who has the most power among those gathered here, made that judgment… it would certainly be so. “I think the same goes for me.”

“If our own strength is not enough… wouldn’t we need other strength? “If we bring in the remaining two stars, an answer may arise.”

“….”

Cruatz closed his eyes. Take a moment to think about it. He made a decision.

“Let me call for backup.”

Rather than risking one’s life, it was better to join forces with the rulers.
