Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 736 - 122: Ireland Kingdom (Third Update)

Time,

in the midst of the Blue Dragon Kingdom digesting and assimilating its newly conquered territories, as well as the surrounding countries' jittery moods, slowly passes by.

Although between the two sides, a battle is inevitable in the future, a wary standoff persists.

But overall, peace is maintained.

Meanwhile,

in the Central Earth World, the Ireland Kingdom, one of the Seven Kingdoms, has been experiencing turmoil for several years, and it is about to reach its final moment.

In Ireland Kingdom,

in the Royal Capital,

a carriage rumbles down the streets, flanked by vigilant knights surveying the sparsely populated roads, while scattered pedestrians scramble to the sides, kneeling as the carriage passes.

Because beside the carriage hangs a flag with a black background and gold lily of the valley.

That is the emblem flag of the Ireland royal family!

Sarah Plantis sits within the carriage, slightly lifting the curtain to gaze outside, a hint of undisguisable worry appearing on her delicate face.

"The Royal Capital is becoming increasingly chaotic. Does Ireland still have a future..."

Three years ago,

her teacher, one of the most renowned astrologers across the entire Central Earth Continent, Sir Merlin, expended his last bit of life energy to make a prophecy.

In the prophecy, Sir Merlin saw the destruction of the Ireland Kingdom and also glimpsed a glimmer of hope for the future.

Thus,

as a student and also as Princess of Ireland Kingdom's royal family, Sarah Plantis, with the protection of a team of Royal Knights dispatched by her father, set forth southward, across daunting dangers and icy treks over the Dolan Glacier Plateau, to the Dragon Nest Beastman Tribe, which at the time was growing rapidly.

For the force nestled in the mountain forests, despite its high development in both civilization and power,

Princess Sarah saw hope to rescue her country.

Upon meeting the tribe leader Austin, she offered him sacred artifacts and secrets passed down in Ireland Kingdom as recompense, seeking his assistance.

At the time,

the Dragon Nest Beastman Tribe was extending around the outskirts of the Kawa Great Forest, and Austin too was stalled at the gate of epic advancement, unable to progress further.

For the sake of his own path,

Austin decided to accompany Princess Sarah to Ireland Kingdom, to quell the internal unrest and secure the sacred artifacts of Ireland Kingdom as well as the secrets buried for millennia within the kingdom.

However,

some unforeseen events occurred,

as the party crossed the Dolan Glacier Plateau, they were unexpectedly drawn into a war between the Frost Giant and Dolan Frost White Dragon races. Seeking a foothold on the Dolan Glacier Plateau, Austin actively involved himself in the conflict.

The result was unexpected, eventually involving the ancient king of the Frost Giants.

While acquiring a series of ancient era secret information from the ancient king of the Frost Giants, within a mysterious space beneath the Ice Crystal Royal City, they defeated the ancient king of the Frost Giants, subsequently absorbing his Time Law Origin and Space Law Origin.

Later,

wishing first to digest these two law origins, Austin only utilized his flesh to split out an avatar to follow Princess Sarah to Ireland Kingdom.

While Austin himself,

utilized the Gate of Truth to traverse to the Cangxuan Realm, sowing seeds across the world, using the protagonist-like figures appearing in that world to comprehend the Time Law Origin and Space Law Origin left by the ancient king of the Frost Giants.

Then, following a series of incidents within the Blue Dragon Kingdom territories, it became difficult for Austin to focus attention back on Ireland Kingdom.

Until recently,

the appearance of the Thorny Crown and subsequent changes involving the Gate of Truth caused Austin to cross realms and, using the avatar left behind years ago, silently arrive at the Royal Capital of Ireland Kingdom.

However, the events following that are beyond Princess Sarah's knowledge.

These days, in Princess Sarah's eyes, the avatar of the powerful leader of the Dragon Nest Tribe has remained hidden in the shadows of the estate, overseeing cultivation as always.

No other differences have been noted.

"Teacher, what should I do..."

The thought of Austin's avatar secludedly cultivating in her estate added a layer of worry to Princess Sarah's face.

Since returning to Ireland Kingdom, Princess Sarah has been attacked numerous times, and it was Austin's avatar who repelled all the known-unknown enemies.

She initially believed that she had indeed found the place of hope spoken of by Sir Merlin and that, after seeking assistance from the royal aid, everything would turn for the better.

But now it seems,

the reality is far beyond her expectations.

During this period, as her father fell gravely ill, the entire Royal Capital was fraught with undercurrents.

The Crown Prince, relying on the support of the upper nobility, gathered a considerable faction of high-ranking officials in the Royal Capital, rallying to form a momentum of popular support.

While the Second Prince, leveraging his maternal family's power and his military influence, withdrew thirty thousand troops stationed at the border under the pretext of protecting his father, establishing a massive presence.

Despite the condemnations from top officials, the Second Prince remained unfazed, setting up camp in the eastern area of the Royal City, competing with the Crown Prince in the kingdom's deliberations.

The Ireland Kingdom's Crown Prince and Second Prince,

are merely the most prominent contenders.

However, besides them,

some seemingly insignificant siblings of Princess Sarah, actually under the instigation and support of unknown organizations, have also begun various minor maneuvers.

The entire Royal Capital of Ireland Kingdom has been stirred into murky waters, undercurrents surging beneath the surface.

Even the repeated attacks Princess Sarah encountered on her return journey left her puzzled about who was behind them, whether their aim was truly her life to achieve unspeakable secrets, or just harmless intimidation.

The political landscape of the entire Ireland Royal Capital is in chaos.

Even the targets of suspicion are hard to pinpoint.

If it weren't for Austin's avatar accompanying her, repelling those formidable adversaries along the way, Princess Sarah might have never made it back to the Royal City, likely perishing on the journey.

Natural disasters, man-made havoc,

various hidden clandestine organizations, for one reason or another, secretly advancing unknown schemes,

the infighting of royal forces, internal contradictions abound, incapable of controlling the situation in this unstable scenario,

the entire kingdom is in turmoil, various disasters, and unrest spreading, the entire Ireland Kingdom faces the brink of collapse.

And at this moment, caught in the midst of all these undercurrents, Princess Sarah,

truly does not know how to confront such a vast upheaval.
