Sovereign From Another World

In the palace meeting room.

"Your Majesty! The wave of monsters is approaching the border. All members of the Knights have been mobilized, but... we have actually confirmed [it]!"

The knight who reported this didn't even dare to call him by his first name.

Just thinking about the giant shadow he had just seen, which could be considered a "symbol of terror", this normally courageous knight could not hold back the shudder.

"...Is it really a dragon?"

"And yes."

This sound must have shocked everyone in the conference room. At this time, high-ranking officials from all over the kingdom gathered. King Orphans sat on the main seat, frowning and looking solemn, as if he was facing a powerful enemy.

"Dragon! It really is a dragon!"

"What should we do? The Knights..."

"How can the Knights deal with the dragon!"

"Defense lines don't work against dragons!"

Everyone was in a panic.

[Dragon], a word that makes people feel scared when said, has the same meaning in this world as destruction, natural disaster, and death.

It is the pinnacle of life, a natural predator. There are no natural enemies of dragons in this world, and no one has discovered the weaknesses of dragons until now.

This is a super BOSS that can only be defeated in fantasy stories. But, this is reality, there are no warriors who can kill dragons in reality!

"Damn! It's a dragon!"

Orphans gritted his teeth and growled.

At this moment, the kingdom is facing the biggest crisis in its history.

A crisis that not even the [Cult of Diablos] can compare to is the absolute violence of a single entity!

[These monsters are also afraid of the dragon, so they are probably running away from it. In other words, they are the dragon's prey. If we kill the monster/steal its prey, then we will be the angry dragon's next target...]

But if you don't stop the monsters, they will be destroyed.

But if they stop the monsters, the dragon will attack the kingdom.

Even if we look at the history of the kingdom, this is the first time in history that a dragon attacked them. However, stories of other kingdoms being destroyed by dragons are very famous, and until now we have never heard of any kingdom being able to survive a dragon.

In the past, Orphans had only read about it in classic books.

Whether it is magic or swords, it is extremely difficult to leave any scratch on the dragon's scales, but the dragon's breath can easily penetrate any city wall!

There are even some high-ranking dragon species that have the unique ability to destroy a kingdom with a single attack!

For example, a certain wind dragon that appeared hundreds of years ago and instantly turned the land of a kingdom into a fiery purgatory, causing countless people to burn to death.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now…"

"Give us the order."

Orphans opened his eyes and his voice was full of majesty, which calmed the panicked people.

"Do your best to stop the monster invasion! And... be prepared to kill that dragon!"

"Your Majesty, are you really planning...?!"

"Ah yes! This is the only option. If the monsters invade the border, the kingdom will be trampled by these beasts. If the dragon is not killed, the kingdom will be destroyed by it! So... it doesn't matter if it is the monsters or the dragon, we must deal with them all!"

This is not the time to make a choice, because no matter which side the outcome is, the kingdom will be destroyed, so we can only resist.

Try to resist as much as possible!

Orphans waved his hand.

"Call all the knights in the country and all the wizards who can use long-distance magic. The arrows will never hurt the dragon, but there is still a possibility with magic."

"Your Majesty, some knights are very far away and cannot be reached in a short time."

"Then let them organize the evacuation of the locals. Even if we are truly defeated, we must at least buy time for the people to escape!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The knight who was born as a commoner cast a grateful look at the king. He hit his heart hard with his fist, and the nobles who followed the ugly flag beside him.

"Then please, Your Majesty, leave and take refuge as quickly as possible. There are passages dug hundreds of years ago under the royal capital. If you go from there, the dragon won't be able to find it."

"Running away? How could I do such a thing?"

Orphans shook his head. He looked out the window in the direction where the dragon was coming. There was no fear or desire to escape in his eyes, but intent to kill.

"Bring me the king's sword and armor! Today I will fight in person!"

"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"

"Idiot, the dragon is a symbol of fear! Only when the knights on the frontlines see the king's figure can they fight this fear! Only then can morale be improved! Furthermore, this is a battle that can destroy the kingdom. How can a king escape!?"

"But, if something unexpected happens to Your Majesty, even if the kingdom manages to survive this crisis, it will definitely cause turmoil!"

The minister loyal to the king knelt on the ground and, with tears streaming down his face, persuaded Orphans not to go to the battlefield himself.

Orphans walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder and shook his head.

"If my son were here, he would definitely say this: If the king doesn't advance, how will his subordinates be able to keep up?"

"And even if something happens to me, there is no need to worry about the future of this kingdom... A king more powerful than me has already been born. With him, he will definitely be able to build a kingdom that is more prosperous than when I was on the throne."

"Choose to pass my order. If I do not return to the kingdom after this battle, then... Make the second prince, Leon Fol Palletia the new king! This is settled."

Orphans said this after scanning everyone present. At this time, he had already determined his successor.

Although everyone was extremely surprised in their eyes, they did not object. They knew very well that although the king was very good at listening to the opinions of his ministers, there were times when he could not be ignored, and now was that time.

Even the nobles on Algard's side, whose numbers were much smaller after the purge, surprisingly did not object and even nodded in agreement.

[If His Majesty is truly gone, then we need a new king who can resist, so that we can lead the kingdom to recover from the depression. Your Highness Algard, emmm... let's do that next time.]

However.

Another knight arrived hurriedly.

He didn't even have time to report, so he shouted directly.

"Your Majesty! Her Royal Highness, Princess Anisphia, is flying towards the dragon!"

"What did you say!!!"

Orphans couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The king, who was not afraid of even using a dragon as an opponent to personally pursue and conquer, was severely shaken at that moment... but in the end he stabilized himself.

The clenched fists showed Orphans' restless mood. How could a father not understand his daughter's thoughts? He took a deep breath and cursed under his breath.

"This stupid daughter... Seriously, come back alive and attack with the entire army! What are you trying to do alone!? Come on, my daughter has already advanced towards battle! How could we still stay here!?"

"Your Majesty! I will accompany you on the expedition!" xN
