As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

"I don't know how you stole the noble dragon blood, but even if you do, you can't make me surrender!"

[Charm] and [Bardic Song] both have a hypnotic effect, but their duration is very limited. Furthermore, fanatics generally have strong beliefs. Can these two abilities alone really provide enough information?

Once you fail, the effectiveness of these two abilities will be greatly reduced.

Just as Roy was thinking, a long-lost female voice echoed in his mind.

"Oh, that's great! We actually caught a living cultist?"

"Well, now I'm thinking about how to interrogate this guy. Mother, how did you do it before?"

Roy remembered that there was some mention of this in the diary, but now that he could ask the person himself directly, he was too lazy to recall it in detail.

"You make me look old when you call me that..." Rowling muttered, then said with amusement, "The Evil Dragon Society are all cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong. If you exude enough pressure, they'll surrender quickly."

"this......"

Roy was a little dumbfounded.

How strong is strong enough? Claude already has Sequence 5 strength. To make him surrender, he must be at least Sequence 4, right?

Both Blade of the Former King and Angel's Lament can briefly emit a high-level Sequence 4 aura, but I can't use up my life-saving trump card just to interrogate this guy, right?

"What are you worried about? Don't you happen to have something to restrain him?"

"what?"

Rowling's laughter echoed frivolously. "The Dragon King's [Dragon Might], if you use it with all your might, even a true pure-blooded dragon will kneel before you and call you daddy!"

Chapter 46 You Are a Dragon, That’s Okay

It must be said that Rowling has rich experience with the [Fake King] and can come up with more ideas.

Because this move consumes a lot of energy, Roy has always used [Dragon Power] as a short-term deterrent ability, and he didn't expect there was such a function.

Without further ado, Roy activated his blood, focused on the leader of the cult in front of him, and lit up [Dragon Power].

"So what if you beat me?! I will never betray the Dragon Clan...?!"

Halfway through his words, Claude was suddenly startled. Seeing the dark gold in the boy's eyes, his breath was choked and cold sweat broke out.

The dark gold in the boy's eyes was like lightning flashing in the lightless night, demonstrating the supreme majesty and wrath of the Lord of the Sky.

At this moment, Claude once again recalled the day when the village was reduced to ashes under the dragon's feet, and the dragon's flame sword that tore through the night sky and cut him apart.

Claude, crawling on the ground, stared wide-eyed, drooling uncontrollably, terrified. "You, you're a dragon? Why?"

"No, how can you be a dragon? Are you the blood of a false king? But this breath, the noble dragon, dragon, dragon!"

Faced with the terrifying aura that was powerful enough to solidify into substance, Claudy finally lost his arrogance and started to act crazy, grabbing his hair.

Maintaining the [Dragon Power] for a long time consumed a huge amount of energy, but Roy still gritted his teeth and persisted, slowly approaching forward.

Cooperating with the crazy Claude, Roy said coldly: "Yes, I am a dragon."

"Hey! Don't come over here!!!"

The last straw that broke the camel's back for his sanity fell, and Claudy suddenly roared, then shrank into the corner of the cage, but lowered his head humbly, as if he was willing to be a slave.

Roy even felt a little pity for the fact that a powerful being who was strong enough to rival Sequence 5 had shown such an ugly appearance.

But soon, he remembered that Claudy's power came from the blood of countless innocent people, and he didn't know how many people had knelt in front of Claudy and begged for forgiveness like this.

The cultists are pathetic, but they are by no means pitiful.

Without further hesitation, Roy asked directly, "Now, tell me, what is the situation of the war in the north?"

"Yes!" Claude replied tremblingly.

"The main force of the dragon clan gathered in the north and besieged the capital. The battle was fierce and still at a stalemate when I left."

Hearing this information, Roy, Charlotte and Natsu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The capital hadn't fallen yet, and there was still hope. This information was more important than anything else. Although I had suspected it long ago, hearing the current situation with my own ears was more reassuring.

"Is His Majesty safe and sound?"

"Yes, the Lionheart is still alive."

As a king with high-level combat power, Charles is still alive, so the front line can hold out for a while longer.

After confirming our current situation, Roy began to inquire about information within the dragon clan.

"Who is your chief dragon?"

Claude's tone was tinged with awe and enthusiasm. "Lord Malygos, the Frost King; Lord Krolaine, the Eclipse King; and... our most honorable king, Lord Nidhogg, the Dark King, Chief of All Dragons!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Roy and the others' faces darkened, and their good mood instantly plummeted.

Roy had guessed that there might be more than one dragon, but he didn't expect there would be three!

Each of the seven heavenly dragons is at least a mythical creature that is comparable to high-level transcendents. No matter how strong the Lionheart King is, he cannot fight three at once!

The situation is more serious than they imagined.

[Frost Dragon Malygos] and [Acid Pterosaur Krolyon] are both among the seven celestial dragons whose whereabouts are unknown in history.

But what about the Black Dragon Nidhogg?

Roy remembered that the myths and legends of the First Age clearly recorded that after the death of the Evil Dragon Fafnir, the Black Dragon Nidhogg was in great pain and subsequently perished in the turmoil of the First Age.

So none of these historical materials are credible, right?!

Roy complained inwardly, but he also vaguely sensed a sense of disharmony.

The discrepancies between historical data and reality are often due to human factors, such as someone deliberately tampering with something, or because the data is so old that something is omitted.

But the dragons didn't seem to have any need to tamper with history. Nidhogg's life and death in history wouldn't affect their current battle situation.

Roy always felt that something was wrong, but unfortunately he couldn't think of anything more at the moment, so he turned to ask the last question.

"Tell me clearly, what is the distribution of the dragon tribe's forces?"

There is no doubt that the phalanx came to the rescue of the north.

But planning the specific route and speed requires specific intelligence.

This was also a difficult problem that had troubled veterans like Natsu before.

Fortunately, Claudy did not disappoint them.

"Most of the main forces have gathered in the northern part of the capital, with only a few flying dragons left to hunt carrier pigeons."

"However, I heard not long ago that a force from the northwest was heading towards the capital to provide support, and the Frost King personally led his troops to stop them. Lord Frostpaw also received a call earlier, asking him to rejoin the force as soon as possible after capturing the fortress."

The Northwest Wind's troops?

Who can organize troops to counterattack in the first time when the dragon tribe attacks in large numbers?

Roy reacted instantly: "The northwest wind you mentioned refers to Tiexue Ridge?"

Claude immediately replied, "Yes."

Roy couldn't help but feel happy that his old father was safe and sound, and even had enough energy to support the main force in the royal capital. He felt that the reputation of the Marquis of Iron and Blood was well-deserved.

Due to the obstruction of the dragon clan, Roy had not received a reply from Carl, which made him a little worried. Now he can finally put down the huge stone in his heart.

The interrogation ended here, and Roy took up the sword himself, ending Claudy's fear.

Those who sell their souls to evil gods are destined to meet this end.

Leaving the dungeon, Roy looked back at the two royals: "What should we do next?"

The situation deviated from what was originally expected.

If the decisive battle was only to be held in the capital, then of course they would have to reach the capital as quickly as possible to provide support.

But now Carl is in trouble, and there is one more person who needs support.

[Frost Dragon Malygos] is a terrifying existence just as terrifying as [Red Blood Dragon Baragos]. Even though Carl is a top expert among Sequence 5, he cannot handle it alone.

Natsu didn't have to think long before coming up with the answer: "We can't abandon the Einblood family. It's best to split our forces into two groups. One group will go to support the capital, and then return to the capital after reuniting with Lord Carl."

Looking at Roy and Charlotte, Natsu's tone slowed down slightly: "The problem is how to allocate the manpower."

Charlotte smiled and said, "Isn't that easy? Roy and I will go rescue Lord Carl, and you can lead the main force to support Wang Du."

The besieged royal capital is the one that urgently needs reinforcements. The main force should go to support the royal capital first, and a small number of elite troops will go to join the force after rescuing Carl. This will ensure that neither side is left behind. This is the most reasonable and ideal tactic.

But Naz stared at her, hesitant to speak.

In the end, it was Roy who sighed and spoke for the prince.

"Charlotte, you should go support the capital."

"...Why?" Charlotte's tone dropped noticeably, tinged with displeasure.

Roy explained, "You have greater prestige, and the soldiers and civilians of the capital, who have been under siege for so long, need you to boost their morale. Meanwhile, my father needs a small number of elite troops to help him escape as quickly as possible. It would be more appropriate for me and the prince to go."

Natsu's face changed when he heard this.

Isn't this the same as saying "You are too weak to be of any use, you can only boost morale"?

With Charlotte's strong personality, she will definitely be angry!

Chapter 47: Be soft-hearted and don't be hard-hearted. Just coax her and she'll be fine.

Just as the good brother was racking his brains and trying to explain something to Roy with high emotional intelligence, Charlotte had already gotten angry as he expected.

"So, you think I can't help you?"

"I did not mean that."

"Then what do you mean?"

When Charlotte is angry, her brows furrow and she exudes an inexplicable smell of gunpowder, like a small volcano that can explode at any moment.

Maybe other girls would be glad to be out of danger, but how could a little lion who has had a strong self-esteem since childhood be willing to be treated as a cat?

Natsu had seen Charlotte angry more than once, but he never dared to intervene. It was the same now, for fear that saying something too much would make her even more upset. He kept winking at Roy.

But Roy seemed not to notice, and looked back at the sour-faced princess with a calm expression.

"Your bloodline level isn't even Sequence 5 yet, which is indeed inferior to Natsu-sama. The capital needs you more. As a princess, you have your responsibilities."

"but......!"

Charlotte took a step forward, as if she wanted to argue, but she didn't expect Roy to step forward at the same time.

Being so close to each other threw Charlotte off balance. Roy took the opportunity to hold her shoulders and whispered softly in her ear, "Besides, if anything happens, I'll be worried about you."

The girl choked slightly, and her pretty face was faintly flushed.

After a moment's silence, Charlotte turned her head and hummed indifferently and reluctantly.

"Okay, let's do as you say."

This scene stunned Natsu.

It's not that Charlotte doesn't understand the overall situation, but she's not a good-tempered person either. She's the kind of stubborn girl who won't give up until she makes a scene even though she knows she's in the wrong.

Natsu had seen her lose her temper many times before, and even now it gives him a headache when he thinks about it.

He never thought that Roy could coax his little ancestor so easily.

Natsu breathed a sigh of relief, "Huh, it looks like Charlotte has grown up too."

Charlotte rolled her eyes at her. "Why do you make it sound like I'm being unreasonable?"

"But you did go too far in the past, like on your twelfth birthday..."

Knowing she was in the wrong, Charlotte flew into a rage and quickly interrupted, "Shut up! Stop saying that unnecessary stuff!"

Not denying it in person was a big concession for Charlotte.

However, looking at the girl's tightly pursed lips and her deliberate avoidance of his gaze, Roy still smiled bitterly.

Judging the situation is an essential quality for Her Royal Highness the Princess. Objectively speaking, it is indeed the best choice for Charlotte to go to support the capital first.

But that was only Her Highness's decision.

The girl named Charlotte probably hasn't accepted it yet.

The fortress was busy in the following days.
