Chapter 185 Battle of Jade Valley (Part 2)
However, Veronica did not think much about it. In her opinion, Edwin should have restrained his temper because the Jade Valley was the territory of his brother.
As for the similar speech, she guessed that Edwin's brain was sick again. After all, this bronze dragon knight often had a seizure before, often talking to himself, and sometimes got angry for no reason.
At first, Veronica was also shocked, but as time went by, she got used to it.
"Maybe he hurt his brain when he merged with the bronze dragon, so pitiful..."
Originally, Veronica was full of hostility towards Edwin, but now her hostility towards this guy with a brain problem is not so serious, mainly vigilance.
After all, it is not surprising that such a person with a bad brain does anything. She even suspected that the signs of treason she had investigated before were just traces left by Edwin's simple brain disease.
As for Liam. Gray Iron.....
Since Veronica first met him when she was a child, this Iron Dragon Knight was a taciturn person.
However, Veronica still didn't want to believe that Uncle Liam, who had sworn to protect the Emerald Light family during the civil war in the kingdom, would choose to betray the country.
Suppressing the surging emotions in her heart, Veronica continued to focus on the battlefield, or more precisely, on the knights composed of the nobles of the Golden Grand Duchy.
Veronica knew what the nobles who followed her were thinking, and knew that their loyalty was shaken by their attitude.
She also knew that to be an independent ruler, the interests of the country must be given priority.
But her hometown was invaded, and her only relative in the world, her brother, the Emerald Light, needed her help. How could she not lend a helping hand?
Perhaps, as her brother said, she was not a qualified ruler, but she also hoped that the knights under her command would suffer less losses.
While Veronica was thinking about it, the situation on the battlefield had changed.
It turned out that the commander of the Mountain Copper Kingdom noticed the people of the Golden Grand Duchy who were killing people on the battlefield, so he quickly sent a knight group to meet them.
However, the commander of the Mountain Copper Kingdom underestimated the strength of the people of the Golden Grand Duchy, or rather, he did not expect that there were three phantom beast knights hidden in a knight group.
Among the five marquises, only Marquis Qingyucao and Marquis Daniel were sky knights.
The other three, namely Marquis Frost Wolf, Marquis Shadow Snake and Marquis Ghost, were all phantom beast knights.
The reason why Marquis Frost Wolf could not hide his body was entirely due to the size of his contracted phantom beast, the Polar Frost Wolf, so he had to be exposed.
In contrast, Marquis Shadow Snake's contracted phantom beast, Shadow Ring Snake, was able to hide because of its small and exquisite size.
As for Marquis Ghost, his ghost lizard could even be invisible. Although it may not have much advantage on the front battlefield, it is definitely a good hand for sneak attacks.
It was precisely because these two old six hid well and did not expose their phantom beasts during the battle that the commander of the Mountain Copper Kingdom issued the wrong order.
The knights he sent out suffered heavy losses, among which the two leading beast knights, one was killed in battle, and the other escaped with serious injuries.
However, for the people of the Golden Grand Duchy, this was the limit of what they could do.
Once the enemy reacted, with their overall strength, if they really had to confront the enemy head-on, it would be difficult for them to escape unscathed.
This time, they were able to severely damage a knight group and kill a beast knight, which was already a very rich victory.
As a qualified and excellent commander, Marquis Frost Wolf has begun to lead the knights back to the Jade Valley.
However, they did not return directly, but slaughtered some soldiers and officers on the way back, trying to reduce some pressure on the defenders in the Jade Valley.
Veronica, who was watching the knights in mid-air, was secretly relieved when she saw them return safely to the walls of the Jade Valley.
She fixed her sight on Phoenix, the Emerald Dragon Knight standing beside her, with a trace of worry in her eyes, and asked softly:
"Uncle Phoenix, is the king still in seclusion and unable to take action?"
Phoenix shook his head helplessly and replied heavily:
"Yes, Princess.
The palace where the king is located has been shrouded by the Emerald Dragon's mind-enchanting power. Even I dare not approach it easily, let alone rush in to wake the king up."
Phoenix is the most powerful dragon knight in the Emerald Kingdom besides Alvis, and his strength should not be underestimated.
And the Emerald Dragon he rides is the most powerful dragon in the Emerald Kingdom besides the Emerald Dragon.
In the war with the Mountain Copper Kingdom, Phoenix and the Emerald Dragon performed outstandingly, and their contributions even exceeded the sum of Liam and Edwin.
However, facing the current predicament, even Phoenix felt helpless.
At this time, Liam Gray Iron, who had been silent all the time, took the initiative to speak out.
"Don't be afraid. Although we lost the land in the northwest of the kingdom, we didn't lose much top-level combat power. The Emerald Valley is a place where the Emerald Dragon has been infiltrating for many years. With the Emerald Dragon here, we don't have to worry about the enemy invading."
What Liam said is also what the Orichalcum Kingdom thinks. This is the reason why they have been sending low-level soldiers to attack Jade Valley.
The orichalcum dragon their king rides is also a type of magic dragon, so they naturally know the power of the magic dragon knight.
Normally speaking, ordinary mineral dragons such as iron dragons or copper dragons can barely survive in three-on-one situations, five-on-one can remain undefeated, and seven-on-one can win.
How did this data come out, you ask?
At that time, the Orichalcum Kingdom held a "Dance of Dragons" competition in the capital, and the participants were all dragon knights from all over the country and surrounding countries.
Harold, the King of the Orichalcum Kingdom at that time, the Lord of Copper, drove the Orichalcum Dragon through the entire venue, and single-handedly fought against seven dragon knights riding the dragon.
And that's still a point-and-click game. If it were on the battlefield, Orichalcum Dragon definitely had the ability to quickly kill an ordinary mineral dragon.
It is precisely because of this that the people of the Orichalcum Kingdom did not dare to enter the Jade Valley in person, but sent cannon fodder to test it.
Just three days before the siege of Jade Valley, the dragon knights of the Orichalcum Kingdom had already sent a letter to the royal capital.
Request Harold, the Lord of Copper, to ride the Orichalcum Dragon himself to the Jade Valley to fight the Jade Dragon.
