After watching Irene leave, Red turned around, patted Tingmei on the shoulder, and said, "Girl, let's go. Take me to see the power left behind by our master! Only after we understand this can we discuss how to quell the domestic strife as quickly as possible and complete the task entrusted to us by Her Majesty Irene!"
Hearing Red's words, Tingmei rubbed her hands together, then said shyly, "Uncle Reide, Her Majesty Irene has entrusted you with so many things, you'll definitely be very busy and won't have time to spend with Sister Tina. Without your company, Sister Tina will be very lonely and need someone to comfort her, so I thought..."
"Oh! You mean this? Then you don't need to worry, because I've already sent Tina to Diphiya's place. Diphiya will take care of her for the next while, so you can rest assured!"
"Damn! What a cunning old fox! He actually anticipated this step! I miscalculated! I miscalculated!" (Tingmei's inner monologue)
"Hmph! Trying to harm my daughter? No way!" (Red thought smugly)
After they finished their internal monologues, the Prime Minister spoke first, "Tingmei, now that Tina's matter has been resolved, shouldn't we get down to business?"
Looking at the smile on Red's face, Tingmei suddenly realized that her path to plucking Tina from the flower was about to be much more difficult. However, her confidence in her intelligence and cunning quickly cheered her up. So, after returning the Prime Minister's meaningful smile, she said, "Since Uncle Reide is so enthusiastic, let's set off now!"
Faced with Tingmei's challenge, the Prime Minister smiled and said, "Very well!"
After they finished speaking, the two set off with their own thoughts, leaving behind countless yellow leaves swirling in the wind.
Kingdom of Donagunov, Royal Palace, Council Hall
"Smack!"
After slamming the battle report on the table, the prime minister walked to the window with a distressed expression, gazing at the crescent New Moon shining with a cold, clear light.
"Prime Minister, you look very distressed!"
"The front lines are constantly crumbling, Her Majesty the Queen and the Sage Dragon are nowhere to be found, and the entire Ishgar is in ruins. How could I not..."
The subconscious answer ended there, and then the prime minister turned his head behind him with a look of surprise and doubt.
"Your Her Majesty Irene, is that you?"
"Rustle!"
A series of light footsteps sounded, and then a tall figure shrouded in a black cloak emerged from the shadows and came to stand before the Prime Minister.
Seeing the glimpse of Crimson peeking out from under the other's hood, the Prime Minister exclaimed excitedly, "Your Her Majesty Irene, it's so good that you're alright! Oh, where is Sage Dragon? Why didn't Sage Dragon come back with you?"
Irene sighed heavily, her face grave, and then said sadly, "Prime Minister, Belserion has died in battle and will never return!"
Upon hearing Irene's words, the Prime Minister staggered back several steps until he crashed into the window behind him and came to a stop.
"No wonder! No wonder! I was wondering why the dragons had left us, it turns out that the Sage Dragon Lord has already..."
Although Irene had already decided to relinquish her position as queen and stay in the Cuyis Tree Sea to care for Sordil, when she heard that the dragons had left humanity and abandoned Dragunov, she still instinctively asked, "The dragons have left humanity? Prime Minister, what's going on?"
"Your Her Majesty Irene, are you unaware that since the Battle of Peterburg City, the dragons of Ishgar, led by Atlas Flame and his five companions, have broken away from the United Front Alliance and formed Neutral Alliance in the Dil'dixiu Mountain Range, officially declaring their withdrawal from the war?"
"What? How could it have turned out like this? (Irene)"
"I'm not entirely clear on the specifics, but I do know that it seems the Dragon Slayer Magic attacked Ishgar's dragons without provocation, which forced them to make this decision! (Prime Minister)"
"Dragon Slayer Magic attacking a dragon? This... how is this possible? Where is Feld? Where is he? Why didn't he stop it then? (Irene)"
"According to the battle report, the incident happened so suddenly that there was no time to take any action. After the incident broke out, the entire battlefield descended into extreme chaos, our troops were completely scattered, and General Feld lost contact with us as a result. (Prime Minister)"
Upon hearing the Prime Minister's description, Irene suddenly recalled Sordil's previous explanation of Dragon Slayer Magic.
"I know! It must be a side effect of the Dragon Slayer Magic that caused the Dragon Slayer Magic to lose his judgment, which is why this misunderstanding happened!" (Irene)
"Ah? Is that so? (Prime Minister)"
"Sigh! Sordil warned me about this before, but at the time I was focused on strengthening our forces against the Western Continent, so I didn't take it seriously. I never imagined it would lead to such a terrible outcome. Sigh! (Irene)"
"Your Her Majesty Irene, you were forced to do this to fight the Evil Dragon of the Western Continent, so there's no need for you to blame yourself!" (Prime Minister)
After comforting Irene, the Prime Minister suddenly realized something and hurriedly asked, "Your Her Majesty Irene, weren't you on the battlefield? How could you..."
"Oh! I was guarding the Sage Dragon's body at the time, so I didn't participate in the final battle and don't know the outcome. (Irene)"
"So that's how it is! Your Her Majesty Irene, now that you've returned, please take charge and salvage the situation!"
Faced with the Prime Minister's reasonable request, Irene remained silent for a long time before saying regretfully, "Prime Minister, I also want to come back to help everyone, but the Dragon Seed within me has grown to its safe limit. If I stay here any longer, it will bring great danger to you and everyone, so I have no choice but to leave."
"What? You're leaving? What will happen to the kingdom?"
"Prime Minister, you have always been the one handling all the affairs of the kingdom, so you are more suitable for the position of king than I am. Therefore, I have decided to pass the throne to you and make you the new king of Dragunov!"
"This... Your Her Majesty Irene, perhaps this is somewhat inappropriate?"
Irene shook her head and said, "Prime Minister, this is the only way to save Dragunov and all of humanity in Ishgar, so please do not refuse!"
"This..."
The prime minister remained silent for a long time before nodding vigorously.
When she saw that the Prime Minister had agreed, Irene smiled happily.
Then she suddenly remembered another purpose for her visit, so she hurriedly said, "By the way, Prime Minister, in the previous battle, Sordil was severely wounded by the enemy and fell into a coma. He has not yet woken up. So for the next period of time, I will be frequently going in and out of the palace library to look up information and find a way to treat him. I hope you can grant me the right to enter and leave the library at any time."
"Your Her Majesty Irene, what are you saying? The palace is your home. You can come back anytime. Why would I need to grant you that right?"
"Hehe! Prime Minister, that was before. Soon, this will be your home, and I will naturally need your permission as the host to enter!"
"Alright! Since you insist, I'll issue you a special pass!"
Thank you!
On March 7, X375, Queen Irene Belserion of the Dragon Clan was too badly injured to continue as queen, so she held an abdication ceremony in the royal city of Dragunov, passing the throne to her prime minister, Hannes E. Fiore.
The following day, Hannes held a council of nobles, and after unanimous discussion, they decided to change the country's name to the Kingdom of Fiore and name the capital city the City of Flowers, Crocas.
On March 15, Hannes invited all the kings of Ishgar to gather in the City of Flowers to discuss the reconstruction of the United Front Alliance.
On March 17, the Dragon Slayer Mage Corps, which had retreated from Peterburg City, regrouped in the western border town of the Kingdom of Tsuyioru Xiu and began a new round of reorganization.
On April 1, after nearly a month of reorganization, the Dragon Slayer Mage Corps was renamed the United Front Army First Division and rejoined the battle.
On April 7th, a Black Robe boy dressed in a black robe and tied with a white cloth belt forcibly broke into the headquarters of the United Front Alliance, left behind a secret note on how to create the Dragon-Slaying Magic Crystal, and then mysteriously disappeared.
On April 20, the Dragon-Slaying Magic Crystal was unveiled. The United Front Alliance used it to form the Second, Third, and Fourth Division of the United Front Allied Forces and deployed them to the battlefield.
On May 1st, the Dragon Neutral Alliance, located in the Dil'dixiu Mountain Range, was attacked by a Blue-haired boy, resulting in heavy casualties.
On May 3, the surviving members of the Neutral Alliance declared war on the United Front Alliance.
On May 7th, the Neutral Alliance launched a surprise attack on the City of Flowers. The Blue-haired boy then entered the battlefield and launched another attack on the Neutral Alliance. Shortly afterward, the Second Division of the United Front Army returned, and the two forces joined forces to encircle and annihilate the Neutral Alliance. The Neutral Alliance suffered heavy casualties, with only a few members escaping the battlefield and disappearing without a trace.
On May 10, internal strife broke out among the dragons of the Western Continent. United Front Alliance launched an attack and annihilated all the Evil Dragon of the Western Continent in one fell swoop.
On June 9, members of the United Front Army First Division underwent a mutation, with more than 50% of them becoming completely transformed into dragons, and they launched attacks on other divisions.
On June 11, the Blue-haired boy reappeared and launched an attack on the United Front coalition.
On June 20th, after nine days of fierce fighting, the Blue-haired boy killed a large number of the Allied Forces and underwent a complete dragon transformation on the battlefield, turning into a giant Black Great Dragon.
On June 22, the Black Great Dragon reappeared and launched a surprise attack on the surviving Allied Forces. After a fierce battle, the Allied Forces were defeated, and all members perished. From then on, Dragon Slayer Magic became Lost Magic, disappearing into the annals of history.
On June 25, the United Front Alliance, having completed its rest and reorganization, mobilized all its troops to search for the Black Great Dragon, but to no avail.
On August 1, the United Front Alliance was officially dissolved, and countries began to focus on post-war recovery.
