I've finished the game once, and I am left unsure as to his motive in gathering armies to vanquish the dragon. Is it just politicking? To show the people that he's doing all he can to ensure their safety, thereby solidifying his rule?

Is it, as Julien surmises, a move to rob his neighboring countries of their strength by depleting their resources using the alliance pact? He fears invasion or is himself planning in near future to invade and conquer? This scheme seems doomed since the neighbors aren't shown to be giving much aid.

He already fought the dragon once, and admitted that no mere mortal could defeat it. Why bother sending Arisen(s) against it (and even reward him/her with his kingdom treasury) since he should well know that Grigori will make the same offer that was made to him. If the Arisen accepts the offer, the duke will be replaced. Might he be so unaware of this possibility? It seems a very risky move that avails very little.
