Dragon Monarch System

“Ma’am, we have received the latest news from the border.” In Azure city, sitting in a newly built Mansion, the Seeker of Impurity guild leader, also known as the Goddess of wealth, was reading a book while enjoying her tea. Behind the couch, a maid was quietly standing with a stoic face.

Just like the Guild leader, the maid was also a beauty to be reckoned with. The woman had short neck-length light blue hair. She was wearing a long maid uniform.

“Who won the second battle?” Any news from the border held great importance to the Goddess of Wealth. From the beginning, she had sent her spies to two neighboring Kingdoms’ armies. She wanted to keep track of the two enemy kingdoms’ movements.

“According to the news sent by our spies, King Aditya appeared with a beginner 3rd-order Wyvern and three Peak 2nd-order Wyverns. This time the enemy forces also had two 3rd-order generals. But his Majesty was able to kill general Darren while the Wyvern took on general Dylan. With the two generals’ death, the battle was won by the Istarin Kingdom with the least causalities.”

For a moment the Goddess of Wealth stopped reading. For a split second, she looked very surprised. But she quickly regained her calm.

“You may leave now.” The man kneeling in front of the guild leader bowed his head and then disappeared without making a single noise.

After the man left, the whole room fell into silence until the maid asked her lady something that she has been curious about. “Milady, I was thinking that Aditya would badly lose this battle. Taking down two 3rd-orders while still being at 2nd-order isn’t something that a normal dragon could do.”

Hearing the words of her maid, she put the book that she was reading on the tea table. She then picked up the teacup and took a sip. “Honestly, what he did is shocking. We all were expecting him to lose this battle. I even sent a 4th-order to keep an eye on him. If his life was in danger, I had ordered the 4th order to react and protect his life.”

“Now I feel that this entire time we have been underestimating him for the beginning.” While Aditya was resting after the second battle, the news of the Zulux Dynasty’s another huge defeat spread in all the neighboring kingdoms. Both kings were shocked to their core knowing that a King that everyone previously called an alcohol addict now had the power to defeat 3rd-order generals.

The news also reached the ears of Aditya’s other wives. The sudden rise in his powers made people curious. Many people thought that from the beginning Aditya was pretending to be an addict so that he can strike on the two Kingdoms when they lower their guards against him.

Achoo!

“My lord, are you alright?” Amber asked in a concerned tone.

“Yeah, I am fine.” Aditya replied while rubbing his nose.

“My lord, are you sure you’re alright? This is the 18th time you have sneezed in an hour.”

“I am alright. Now let’s talk about the causalities that we had in this battle.”

“Before the battle started we had over 28,500 troops. While the enemy had 35,000 troops. That devastating explosion killed more than 10,000 soldiers from both sides. So by the time, when this battle ended, we had over 18,000 troops as most of the war prisoners that we captured before had died. So adding all the enemy troops who surrendered, we now have over 38,000 troops.” In a room, everyone now was having a meeting.

“hmmm. That’s good.”

“But we now have a problem.” Zayne frowned looking at the piece of paper in his hand.

“What problem?” Aditya lazily asked. He had been feeling lazy after the battle ended.

“Our food stock will only last for another week.” Everyone stopped whatever they were doing and looked at Aditya with a serious look. Without food, it would be impossible to maintain this huge army. Without food, the soldiers will be weak and won’t be able to fight at their full strength or worse can happen and thousands of troops might even die due to hunger.

“So we’re in a situation where our food stock is limited to only 1 more week.” Aditya closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

‘The Nepoca Kingdom has blocked all kinds of trade with our Kingdom. There is no way Zulux Dynasty would sell us any food. Meaning, that the option of buying food does not exist.’ Before this war started, Aditya bought one month’s food for 20,000 troops, knowing that his troops were only 20,000. But he failed to count the possibility of his troop’s number increasing.

‘Also the merchant from whom I bought food only gave me a month’s worth of food. Even though I tried to negotiate, he denied all of my offers saying that currently even he was out of food supplies.’

“Then contact Duke Sarlus.” Among the three cities in the Istarin Kingdom, the city that Duke Sarlus governed is considered the most prosperous city. Compared to other cities, the food prices were not that high if the prices are compared to the price of the other two cities.

The meeting went on for another 30 minutes before everyone was dismissed.

Scene change_

“Your Majesty, we have lost the second battle.” In the throne hall, everyone was staring at a person whose entire body was trembling hearing the words of his messenger. His eyes had turned red while he clenched his fists so tightly that his nails had dug into his flesh causing his palms to bleed.

For a moment no one dared to say anything. In front of the King of the Zulux Dynasty who currently looked too angry, no court officials not even the newly appointed Prime Ministers didn’t have the courage to utter even a single word.

This time everyone was more than 100% sure that the forces of the Istarin Kingdom will be crushed and it won’t be long before the Kingdom’s territories are claimed by them. There was even a rumor which said that General Darren will be made the new governor of the conquered territories. Who would thought that two of their 3rd-order generals will be defeated? No one had expected this outcome even in their wildest nightmare.

A 3rd-order is considered the peak existence in three Kingdoms. Even after three decades of nurturing countless geniuses, the Zulux Dynasty had only managed to produce four 4rd-orders. Having a 3rd-order is equal to becoming a 3-tier Kingdom. While Zulux Dynasty before this war started was said to be near becoming a 4-tier powerhouse.

Before this war started, if someone had said that the King of Istarin Kingdom can kill a 3rd-order, no one would have believed in that person. Everyone would have laughed off thinking that the person was telling a Joke. Even the top-ranking geniuses in the three Kingdoms do not hold the power to kill a 3rd-order.

Yet a person who was called an Alcohol addict did the impossible. What kind of monstrous talent does one need to have to be able to kill a 3rd-order while still being a Beginner 2nd-order. Those who previously called Aditya an alcohol addict felt like their faces has been slapped countless times.

“Your Majesty, what should we do now?” The King glared at his newly appointed Prime Minister. If the old Prime Minister Joseph was still here, then he would have suggested some kind of solution. This made the King miss his old Prime Minister. Not only Joseph was cunning and sly in nature, but he also was the big brain that pushed to dynasty toward prosperity. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that whatever that the Zulux dynasty has achieved in the last 10 years, was planned by Joseph.

The newly appointed Prime Minister began to sweat seeing the King angrily glaring at him. It only has been a few days since he started working as the Prime Minister. Before becoming the Prime Minister, he thought that becoming the King’s right-hand man would benefit him and let him reach the peak of his life. But those fantasies were all wrong. Becoming the King’s Prime Minister is like trying to babysit an adult. It was like he had come to hell.

After another 5 minutes of silence, the King sighed and calmed his head. He also knew that he had anger issues.

“With our defeat, we can say with 100% certainty that we can’t underestimate the Istarin Kingdom. With the troops that we nurtured for years being captured by the enemy, their number should be exceeded 30,000.” While saying those words the King again felt his heart boiling in anger. Only he and the previous Prime Minister knew how much money and resources they had spent on training the troops.

“Also knowing the enemy is capable of defeating two 3rd-orders, I think we should stop now.” The words of the King surprised and shocked everyone in the throne hall. The King of the Zulux Dynasty giving up a war against a 2-tier Kingdom that now can be considered a 3-tier Kingdom didn’t sound like something that the King would do. Especially after knowing how much the King valued his reputation.

It is known that the King would do anything to keep his reputation. He wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice an army of 10,000 for his reputation.

“We already have lost 65,000 troops, two 3rd-order generals. Dragging this war any longer would put the security of our dynasty at risk.” While the King was someone who easily would get angry and impulsive in nature, the King wasn’t stupid. He knew that the neighboring kingdoms wouldn’t waste a single day in attacking if their Dynasty becomes weak enough.

While everyone was still shocked hearing the King’s announcement, a messenger whose body was covered in black clothes making him look like an assassin appeared behind the throne and whispered something into the King’s ear.
