The natural empire of ocean dragons

Chapter 286 The Wild Boar Bard

The satyr raised his glass of wine.

"The spies we train are not as professional as you. Dragon Lord's warriors are better at frontal combat. They need to learn more from the two Grand Dukes so that they can better control the Northern Territory."

The smiles of the two Grand Dukes were a little stiff, which was a clear slap in their faces.

They raised their troops all the way, and it took only two and a half years from almost reaching the royal capital to almost being pushed into the southern border by the Sun King.

Every time the Scarlet Castle was captured by them, it was because the Sun King went to deal with the war in other directions, that is, the old blind man with an old heart, summoned some barbarian tribes that had half belonged to Atlantis to go south.

After all, the north is already Attilan's territory, so the barbarians can no longer plunder it, but it will take time to change the barbarians.

Although the old blind man divided them pastures in the uninhabited land in the north, which greatly reduced their desire to plunder, some barbarian warriors whose hands were used to holding knife handles were still not used to holding guillotines.

Every time they go south, they can eliminate some unstable elements among the grassland barbarians and at the same time weaken the war potential of the royal territory.

Not to mention the barbarians, even some restless humans in the north chose to join the coalition and went south to plunder with the old blind man. With the cunning of humans, they really made this group of evil people rich.

There was indeed the devil's handiwork behind the two Grand Dukes of the East and West, but once they encountered the Sun King with his fiery eyes, all the devil's conspiracy methods lost their effect.

After getting rich, they became really loyal to Attilan, the dragon master who had never met him before.

If the Grand Duke of the Western Region dares to rebel, at least this shameless man has passed the test and will immediately hit the snake and follow it with a stick.

Of course, Attilan also made some efforts in the cultivation process of this sun apple.

"Yes, yes, the Dragon Lord's army is naturally powerful, so I wonder if we can use some treasures to hire the Dragon Lord's army to help us take down the Bloody Castle?"

Just when Attilan was playing with a plump sun apple and thinking about the secrets of the Sun King, the old fishman walked in after completing the briefing.

The golden dragon of the Northern Royal Family gives Attilan the feeling of a sun golden dragon.

Instead of discovering the devil's infestation among the druids in the forest, the vine girl cultivated a sun apple based on golden apples and sun kumquats, a sun apple containing sufficient solar energy.

After all, he is the one who wants to be the king. If he loses all his face, who else can he get recognition for being the king?

"Ok?"

But this mature variety of sun apple has a relatively strong evil-destroying effect, and those who eat it can dispel the negative effects attached to the body.

Regarding Sandrako, the Sun King who made his own name, Attilan was indeed a little curious about the source of his power.

To be king, the most important thing is to have prestige in front of the army and subjects.

Attilan was a little surprised. Although he was determined to take over half of the southern land, he still planned to save some face for the two grand dukes.

For example, mental disturbance from the devil, damnation from hell.

"Lord Dragon, I have informed the envoy that we will take over the land south of Shanshui in one month. Judging from his appearance, he probably agrees to our request."

The power of the golden dragon does not have such a targeted evil-destroying effect.

"As long as we figure out the source of the Sun King's power and make the Dragon Lord happy, everything will be easy."

The golden-skinned apples do look a bit like golden apples at first glance, but they are just magical apples shaped by the energy of the sun. Compared with golden apples, they are naturally in the sky and on the earth.

If the dragon bloodline inherited by the Northland royal family really comes from the golden dragon, then the power of Prince Longyang should not be the sun, gold and fire he is using now.

The satyr didn't know how to evaluate the shameless behavior of the Grand Duke of the West.

In fact, the two grand dukes want to be kings now, but before killing the Sun King, they are not qualified to be kings.

The old fish man asked in surprise:

"Dragon Lord, is there anything wrong with the way I handle this? Now in the past five years, we have sent envoys to recruit tribes and warriors from all directions, and the population of the kingdom has already exceeded one hundred thousand."

"Eighty percent of the population can fight on the battlefield as warriors. There are very few forces in the entire continent worthy of our attention."

"Now the Dragon Lord is the adopted son of Master Cestis, the strongest dragon in the center of the continent. He even mobilized the army under Master Cestis to attack and destroy the United Kingdom of Humans and Dwarves in the East."

"Except for the entrance to the sea that Master Cestis needs, the rest of the land that is still above the water has been handed over to the Dragon Lord by Master Cestis. I don't understand why the Dragon Lord still follows the original plan to annex the North. kingdom?"

Attilan tapped his finger on the table.

"Old fishman, I think you also know that I helped the princess of the River Valley Kingdom five years ago. With the help of my adoptive father's army, I successfully helped her regain the throne of the River Valley Kingdom without much effort."

"The population of the River Valley Kingdom is about 30. In this war, which took less than a year, the kingdom's population was only consumed by due to various reasons."

"Old fish man, do you know what problem is hidden here?"

The old fish man was very puzzled.

"Lord Dragon, didn't you say that the more people farming the land, the better?"

"That's true, but people in the River Valley Kingdom have become accustomed to the current way of life, which means that the style of doing things in the River Valley Kingdom is completely different from my style."

"It will take a lot of time to get them to change to my style, and it is even impossible to get those stubborn and ignorant people to change."

"Even the original princess, now the Queen of the River Valley, felt that she had secured her throne and began to obey my orders."

"If the River Valley Kingdom lost 100,000 people in the war for the throne, I would take this opportunity to place 10,000 demi-humans loyal to me in the land vacated by the River Valley Kingdom."

"Then the Kingdom of the River Valley is now a multi-racial kingdom. It will not be as difficult as it is now to place some demi-humans. The result of forced implementation will make the people of the Kingdom of the River Valley become disloyal to me."

"Once we suppress the rebellion, not only will we no longer be able to cultivate the land properly, but we will also lose most of the population, and we will also waste several years."

The old fish man nodded and said:
"What the Dragon Lord means is that instead of wiping out half of the population in the end, it's better to adjust the land to what the Dragon Lord wants from the beginning. This can save some time?"

Pretty much, the longer the tossing takes and the more energy is invested, the sunk costs will naturally increase.

The land in the River Valley Kingdom is not very suitable for farming, otherwise commerce would not become the main source of income in the River Valley Kingdom.

But in fact, if you search carefully, the River Valley Kingdom can still find several pieces of land suitable for farming, but they just need some minor modifications, just like the former wetlands and the current Hedong land.

Today's Hedong is the granary of the Kingdom of Atlantis, providing more than half of the kingdom's food. Even the three halfling towns cannot compare to Hedong. Of course, the Third Halfling Town is also a granary. The land here is equally fertile, but because of the small population, the land has not been fully developed.

As the number of demi-humans migrating to the Three Towns from Attilan has increased year by year in the past two years, the mountain north area where the Three Halfling Towns are located will become the second granary not inferior to the Hedong area.

People in the River Valley Kingdom still prefer to grow various cash crops, such as spices and fruits.

Through the densely distributed river network in the River Valley Kingdom, it can be quickly sold to the eastern border of the Northland Kingdom and surrounding small countries.

Attilan does not like the current way of thinking of the Valley Kingdom. As long as they are given enough benefits, Attilan believes that they will push the queen to betray him without hesitation.

This queen did have the means to break away from the army sent by Attilan. She also relied on the nobles she had won over to train a strong army and successfully repelled the invading army from the northern countries.

What Attilan wants is conquest, not destruction, so it is not important to conquer a piece of land. What is important is how to make the land recognize him as the dragon master after conquering it.

The public cafeteria was originally a good idea, but it couldn't handle the presence of some villains in the middle, which gradually caused some problems in Attilan's system.

If the subjects were really allowed to be responsible for their own living expenses, then if Attilan wanted to recruit them to fight, it would be impossible for him to pay nothing like he did now.

His purpose in establishing a natural empire was to gain the respect of his subjects, and then use the beliefs of his subjects to enshrine gods.

Even if you don't enshrine a god, the power of faith from your subjects can still accomplish many things.

The difference between the two methods of using the power of faith is roughly to collect protection fees and collect taxes. Collecting protection fees has the advantage of collecting protection fees, which is that you will not be restrained by faith like the true God.

But becoming a god definitely has its benefits, that is, you can use the power of rules.

Attilan still doesn't know which path he will take in the future, but that doesn't stop him from finding someone to pay the money to.

The Supreme Dragon Ball is a good thing. After being successfully refined, it can play a great role in whether you are taking the path of the wild god or the path of becoming a god. However, the only drawback is that it consumes a lot of resources.

The Natural Empire can help Attilan collect resources layer by layer, so that he can stay in the dragon's nest to practice, and there will also be a steady supply of resources for him to refine dragon beads and strengthen his dragon body.

Now the forest can provide enough resources for his growth, but in another ten years, the resources of the forest will not be enough.

Especially after five years of searching, there are already some signs of the Bear Man's natural sacred objects.

Once the Ursine wants to be promoted, Attilan will probably have to go out to find food on his own.

The landlord's family has no surplus food, and the energy of the forest is estimated to be only enough for the bear man. Everyone has to move to a new forest rising on the grassland.

"That's right, after destroying the North Kingdom, I will come out to save the people, so that they can remember my goodness. If something is obtained too easily, it will definitely not be cherished."

"What you did is not wrong. Those two guys are too useless. It's time to send some troops to the battlefield to experience it. If the army doesn't see blood, can it still be called an army?"

The old fish man nodded and said:
"Yes, after five years of training, the talents of the grassroots generals in the army have indeed been greatly improved, and armies from all over the country can form complete formations."

"But five years have passed, and the number of troops that have been engaged in actual combat has become less and less. The barbarian tribes in the south dare to fight us less and less."

"Lord Dragon, when are we going to fight the Mage King of the Wood Elves?"

Attilan said with a smile:

"Dajiao Town Military Academy still plays a big role and has trained many excellent warrior commanders. As for fighting the Mage King, don't worry about it."

"We cannot take action until we have cultivated an organized magic force, or before the Mage King invades the territory of Ranger General Vereesa."

"If we start early, the wood elves won't be grateful to us. We finally got the wood elves to recognize us in Atlantis, but we can't destroy the possibility of them integrating in."

Just forming an alliance with the barbaric demi-humans in the eyes of the wood elves made those wood elves quite disgusted, if it weren't for Attilan, the giant dragon of the ocean dragon.

The wood elf rangers would never recognize such a barbaric alliance as the demi-humans.

Of course, the cultural quality shown by the demihuman students after going to the Druid School for further study was recognized by the wood elves. Anyway, the demihuman envoys sent by Attilan to the water elf kingdom were recognized by the wood elves.

The old fish man said with some emotion:

"Thanks to the Dragon Lord, I never thought that one day, we fishmen would actually be able to sit together with the elves, recite poetry and play music."

Attilan's mouth twitched.

"This has nothing to do with me. It's entirely due to the fishman's own efforts."

Although Attilan did set up various academies, all the knowledge imparted was about improving strength.

For things like music, dance, and poetry, he was not idle in cultivating talents in these fields. The only profession that was good at these fields was bard.

But Attilan needs professional talents, not a panacea profession like a bard.

It was entirely because a wild boar bard came to his territory, and the teacher of this wild boar bard was an elf from Frostflower Forest.

When this wild boar man stayed in Bighorn Town, in order to survive, he naturally became a teacher at the Bighorn Town Magic Academy.

Of course, the knowledge he is responsible for imparting is definitely not what bards are good at.

"Teacher Peng Peng is indeed a talent. I didn't know that there could be such a unique being like him among the wild boar people. The elf who accepted him at the beginning really has a different kind of vision."

The old fish man said with emotion.

Attilan has heard the story of Peng Peng. He comes from a wild boar kingdom in the southernmost part of the continent. Although the kingdom only has about a thousand wild boar people.

But the wild boar people there are not barbaric, but have developed their own civilization.

Pumbaa was a commoner who fell in love with the wild boar princess, and his profession was a completely different bard. As a result, he was expelled from the kingdom.

Because Attilan sent troops to the southern grasslands for military training, Peng Peng heard about such a northern kingdom, so he wanted to look for an opportunity.

But he came too late, and there were no vacant positions for him in the kingdom.

He couldn't compete with Opea, the snake-woman, or Lin, the mermaid, a quilboar bard, and a male at that.

In the end, he could only go to the magic academy to be a teacher, hoping to one day become the commander of the mage group and participate in battle.
