I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 301

＃After returning, the family was ruined (302)

“Your Excellency, do you plan to stop the advance here as originally planned?”

“There is no change in plan.”

Nerian swallowed his words. Ardan’s knights all had a deep grudge against the dragon race.

This was the same for the dragon slayers, including Nerian. Before the Dragonia invasion. It was something every knight dreamed of, but almost no one thought it would become a reality.

As each kingdom accepted the religion, they became friendly to the dragon race, and even in previous wars, they did not launch a counterattack after winning against the dragon race.

Even at their most advantageous, the humans of the Western Continent maintained a passive attitude. And what about now? If we said we were going to invade Dragonia right away, there were more than one country that would make a statement against it.

If you intrude on a beehive for no reason, it was an issue that could spread sparks to the surrounding kingdoms. It is a problem that has too many issues, whether political or economic, to be dreamed of simply out of revenge.

What he thought could never happen while he was alive was now becoming a reality before his eyes. It would be a lie if I said my blood wasn’t soaring.

No matter how strong the army was, it ate up nearly half of the northern part of Dragonia with only about 30,000 soldiers at most. If they moved a little more diligently, completely occupying the north was not a dream.

With the family head’s status, it was quite possible. Duke Ethan had already demonstrated a power that far exceeded the power that a normal transcendent person could display. However, Nerian suppressed his greed.

‘The matriarch’s actions are always right.’

This is a fact proven by the results. Don’t you know what you were thinking?

It couldn’t have been that way.

If he puts his mind to it, he will be able to occupy the entire North in less than a week. There must be many reasons for not moving now.

The first thing that came to mind was.

“…Is the Demon Dragon that strong?”

He was a ruler called the Demon Dragon.

He is also the leader of the Naraxus Church. The duke rarely spoke of the demon dragon to himself. So, although I didn’t know much about him, I was aware of at least one thing.

The cult leader and the duke had made a deal. Otherwise, there would be no way that countries supporting the church would have been so active in providing ships and other supplies.

The head of the family hated the dragon race.

Nerian was well aware of this fact, as he had been watching Ethan for a long time, starting from the founding of the Dragon Slayer. Nevertheless, what was the reason for making a deal with the dragon tribe?

It was obvious.

This may be because he is not easy enough to deal with right away. Otherwise, there would be no way not to utilize the most primitive and most immediate way to solve a problem called power.

“It’s definitely strong. He is a man whose power is incomparable to that of other rulers. “I have also entered the realm of absolute perfection.”

“What an absolute state…”

Nerian was astonished.

Why did rulers become objects of fear? It was because of the enormous power they possessed.

Therefore, the rulers were evaluated as monsters who possessed the same level of power as other human transcendents, but had greater power.

This is true for rulers who have reached the state of transcendence, and even more so for rulers who have reached the absolute.

It was clear that its power would far exceed imagination.

“…So that’s why.”

The reason why the head of the family, who hates the dragon race, continued to cooperate quietly with the demon dragon. I found out that it was not simply to deal with other rulers, but also because the enemy was fundamentally too strong to deal with.

“Then do you plan to continue waiting in this city?”

After word spread that Polonem’s troops were completely defeated.

Many dragons staying in the big city attempted to escape. It was an obvious choice. What were the actions of humans after occupying small and medium-sized cities? One of the tasks was to kill all the dragons and free the slaves of other races.

It was obvious that he would face death if he stayed, so he had no choice but to run away. Thanks to this, they were able to occupy the city without much bloodshed.

“For a few days. After that, we will return to the army.”

While waiting in the big city.

Illya was secretly setting up a communication magic circle with the wizards. If you create a transit point in Polonem, intercontinental communication will be possible even if you plant intelligence agents in the capital. That was the reason why we advanced to Polonem.

“…All right.”

“There is nothing to be too sorry about. To think about the time we spent together. Time is on Ardan’s side.”

Nerian pondered Ethan’s words.

‘Obviously…’

There were so many things going on that I couldn’t really realize it, but when I thought about it, it was.

Not even two years have passed since he ascended to the throne as head of the family. At most, it is only a short period of time for a trainee knight to become a full-fledged knight.

Ethan not only solved the tasks that everyone said were impossible one by one, but eventually advanced to Dragonia and defeated the dragons. What if at least three more years pass from now?

If you were the head of the family, you might be able to enter the absolute realm known to humans as the realm of dreams. Because his time was thousands of times more intense and dense than that of the criminal.

“My thoughts were short. Come to think of it, I see. “It’s a country of the dragon race in name, but there’s no way it could be taken over so easily… I think I was just anxious.”

Neither Lord Draksis, the culprit of the Balaur War, nor the Demon Dragon had yet appeared on the front lines. It would be extremely foolish to move the military carelessly when only a small amount of land was occupied.

“No, it’s not just the leader who is curious. “I hope you and Myers take good care of the knights.”

“I will.”

Nerian bowed his head politely and left the office. Ethan looked out the window.

‘It’s almost time for the demon dragon to come.’

He showed overwhelming results to help him run wild. You won’t want to miss this opportunity.

‘I wish I could wipe out all the high-ranking dragons at this point.’

Reducing the power of Dragonia.

This was Ethan’s goal in this war. To do this, he had to kill as many top-level dragons as possible.

The six rulers and the ministers, including the dragon lord, did not get along very well. Blood always flows like a river in the reorganization of a new power structure. The first thing to do to bring down the monarch was to cut off his limbs.

For example, by sending out the highest-ranking dragons hiding in the capital city to the battlefield.

For Ethan, it was an opportunity.

An opportunity to reduce Dragonia’s power as much as possible. Soon, light came into the crystal ball in his arms. It was a message from a demon dragon.

* * *

Apraxia.

The Demon Dragon arrived at the capital of Dragonia.

‘It’s been a while.’

It was a place I had never been able to come to before. The reason was simple. Because the monarch did not want it.

He gave his final orders to the six rulers before going into exile.

Any way is good, so take over the western continent. Don’t think about coming back before then.

That command became the supreme task of the rulers. The best swordsmanship in the West Continent. It was one of the families that was the biggest obstacle when the invasion was planned.

Since the monarch personally took care of that obstacle, it was right for them to handle the rest themselves.

That was Dragonia’s central opinion. That’s why I couldn’t come back.

Because no dragon in Dragonia wanted the return of a ruler who had not achieved any results.

It was the same for the demon dragon. Although they may have made a name for themselves by establishing a cult that worshiped the dragon race in the human world, they had not yet made a significant contribution to the extent of conquering the Western Continent.

It was a time when one could dream of restoration when all nations were obsessed with doctrine, fanatically worshiping the dragon race, and when the idea that the dragon race was superior to humans was established.

‘If that were the case, I would have had to pour in 50 more years.’

Changing society’s ideology was not an easy task. Even in the most powerful empires, the doctrine was only able to spread well because it penetrated the ruling class, and the percentage of the population that worshiped the dragon race like fanatics was very low. The demon dragon had no intention of waiting that long.

However, he couldn’t enter Dragonia on his own.

Not only was it obvious that the public would not follow him, but because he had disobeyed the monarch’s orders, he could have been perceived as having rebelled against him.

‘If that happens, it’s a problem even if you kill the monarch.’

Dragonlord Draksis.

He was a kind of figure of faith for the dragon people.

No matter how much the dragons followed the logic of the might of the jungle, there was one being who did not apply that law. That was the dragonlord.

Even if you kill the monarch, it was meaningless if you couldn’t win the hearts of countless dragons. Rather, it will take more than 50 years to turn your mind back once.

At best, weren’t they troubled by the rebellion of slaves of different races? Even imagining if the dragons, who had much superior power than them, rebelled, made my head hurt.

The best thing was to gradually shake the foundation of the monarchy from now on.

If that happens, even if you kill the next monarch and take that position, you will be able to take over Dragonia without much opposition.

For that to happen, something had to happen.

It was an event big enough to not only shake up the authority of the dragonlord, but also require him to be called earnestly from Dragonia. In that sense, Duke Ethan was a truly great player.

Who on the Western Continent could occupy more than half of the northern part of Dragonia with at most 30,000 soldiers?

does not exist.

At least among the humans that the Demon Dragon knew, there was no one who could do that.

You can’t be an ordinary transcendental person.

It was doubtful whether even a transcendental person with outstanding talent who could look at the absolute state would be able to do it.

Moreover, there was no better way to arouse suspicion about the dragonlord than the name Ardan.

What would have happened if a group of humans other than Duke Ethan had attempted an invasion? It would not have been possible to show such skill.

Of course, the sense of crisis would not have increased to this great extent in a short period of time. Doubts about the monarch’s authority would not have blossomed so quickly.

I had no idea that such a treasured talent would emerge from Ardan.

I thought that because of my past reputation, I might soar again someday. Because I couldn’t even imagine that it would come true in less than a generation.

‘I was lucky.’

I’ve been thinking about it since I first saw it at the continental swordsmanship competition. I must use this person.

―…Meet one of the six great stars. Lucreon, how have you been?

Before he knew it, he could see the ministers bowing their heads in front of him. The demon dragon looked at the ministers and smiled. It was a smile so friendly that it made my body tremble.
