This giant dragon is so powerful!

After the fall of Lucerne Castle, in order to resist the threat of sahuagin and centaurs, the territorial defense line of the Albit Kingdom continued to shrink. At the same time, civilians in the southern part of the kingdom also began to flock to the north to flee.

During this process, it is roughly estimated that at least three million civilians and slaves died or disappeared.

The population of the kingdom dropped by nearly one-tenth, and the territory of the kingdom dropped by one-third. The nobles in the north who were originally loyal to the royal family also began to gather together to join the Kingdom of Nax, the neighboring country of the Albit Kingdom.

Nobles who do not take refuge will be slaughtered by wandering thieves or monster clans. Then the Kingdom of Nax will show mercy and send troops to wipe out the thieves and monster clans, save the civilians and slaves under the rule of these nobles and take over the territory.

The above is undoubtedly a catastrophic collapse for the entire Albit Kingdom.

But in the Kingdom of Albit, Bradley VII, Ivan, who has the title of Iron-Blooded New King, smiled at this.

"The sahuagin really exceeded my expectations. They are so powerful and even centaurs can suddenly emerge. But this is even better. I would rather say it's great, and I don't need to add fuel to the fire, hahaha. "

Ivan chuckled.

It seems that they don't care at all about the loss of one-third of the country, the existence of the northern border in name only, and the loss of millions of lives.

In fact, he really didn't care.

Why?

Because the above losses have little to do with the royal family.

Whether it was the fall of the southern part of the kingdom, the heavy casualties of the territory and its people, or the loss in name only due to the collective defection of the nobles in the northern part of the kingdom, the real loss was only the loss of the nobles of the kingdom themselves, who were half as much as the royal family. Money relationship? Does he have anything to do with Ivan?

Well, it actually has something to do with it. The reduction of the kingdom's overall power has also made the current royal family more attractive and pushed it onto a higher and more dangerous wave.

But this is what Ivan wants, and this is the danger he must bear.

A group of aristocrats who have completely rotted away and do not listen to propaganda are like cancerous tumors. Although removal will cause pain and weakness for a long time, if the cancerous tumors are not removed, they will only continue to suck the nutrients of the 'body' It grew bigger and bigger until the 'body' could no longer bear the growing tumors, and finally died suddenly.

Ivan, who ascended the throne as the seventh king, deeply understood this truth.

Rather than being lost in decay, it is better to cut off the flesh and bones and rebuild a new kingdom.

Even if the strength of this new kingdom is far less than before.

"But no matter how good the plan is, it can't compare to the strength you have." Ivan's deep blue pupils flashed with firm belief.

Vaguely, a terrifying energy flashed past him.

"Legend is really a huge threshold, and it stuck for me for ten years." Ivan said to himself.

The Kingdom of Albit and even other forces only have the impression of Bradley VII 'Ivan' as a warrior who has just entered the master level, but they don't know that Ivan has reached the peak of level 19 ten years ago. Standing at the pinnacle of legend.

He has been patient. The best plan is for him to break through the legend and then use his absolute strength to reverse the situation of the decaying kingdom.

However, Ivan still underestimated the threshold of legend. Even a genius like him has been stuck for ten years and has been unable to make progress, and until now he has never been able to understand the true meaning of legend.

"Leon." Ivan suddenly said.

"Your Majesty." A black shadow emerged from the air and knelt down in front of Ivan.

"Take this list and kill everyone on it."

Ivan threw out a small notebook and ordered.

"As ordered." The kneeling shadow took the small book and then disappeared into the air.

Looking at the empty study room, Ivan said to himself, "It's time to close up."

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, five years passed.

Dark forest, dragon nest.

The bottom of the two adjacent thousand-foot peaks has been dug out, and together with the peaks, they have become part of the expansion of Monster City.

In the market under the mountain peak, monsters from all clans and humans are in harmony.

Polish weapons store.

"Six thousand two hundred gold coins, this is the highest price."

The gray-haired jackal, who was nearly three meters tall and dressed in loose military uniform, frowned and said.

Opposite it, a two-meter-five-meter tall blond human man shook his head and refused, "Six thousand five hundred gold coins, this is also my lowest price. If you don't accept it, you don't have to buy it."

"This is too expensive." The gray-furred jackal frowned. From a human perspective, its expression looked extremely ferocious, as if it was about to commit murder at any time.

But the blond man opposite him looked indifferent, and instead rolled his eyes at the jackal.

"This full-moon scimitar is made of meteorite, and it also has sharpening, hardening, and septic spells. This top-notch weapon only sells for 6,500 gold coins, which is already a good deal."

The Jackal gritted his teeth, and finally took out a few money bags from the space bag, counted six hundred and fifty coins shining with purple and gold luster, and threw them to the other party.

Purple gold coin is a precious metal product refined from gold coins, with a value ratio of 1:10.

However, in the city of monsters, ordinary monsters and humans cannot use purple gold coins at all, and only the strong will use them.

"Happy transaction, Mr. Green." The blond boss said with a smile.

"Poland, your smile is so bright, it makes me feel like I'm at a loss." The jackal complained.

The blond man chuckled, his expression changed quickly, and he looked at the jet-black meteorite scimitar held tightly in the Jackal's hand with a look full of reluctance.

"Oh, my baby, it took more than thirty days and nights of sweat and hard work to..."

"Poland, please shut up. Not only do you make me feel like I'm losing money on my purchase, but I'm also starting to dislike this weapon. Okay, I have to go back quickly and become proficient in using this weapon. I have a lot of work to do after that." "Gnoll Green interrupted the blond man's disgusting performance and waved his hand to leave.

"Are you planning to go to Laputa Lake again this time?" The blond boss shouted from behind.

Jackal Green replied without looking back, "Yes, this time I will take my adventure group to Lake Laputa to hunt those river monsters. The most profitable place recently is there."

"Safe travels."

The sound faded away.

Walking on the broad street, a monster recognized Green and looked in awe.

"That is the recently famous leader of the Blood Claw Adventure Group. I heard he is a powerful high-level warg knight."

"No wonder, you see his body is so strong and tall."

"Brother, let me ask, is the Blood Claw Adventure Group still accepting people? It's been difficult to make money recently, and the mortgage loan pressure is particularly high."

"I don't know if the Blood Claw Adventure Group will accept people, but if you want to make money, Lake Laputa on the other side of the wasteland has been very lively recently. A large number of sahuagin, river monsters, and sea beasts are there. Is it safe to go there? Worried about the opportunity to make money.”

“Thanks man”

The sounds behind him gradually faded away, and new sounds appeared around him.

Jackal Green was also sighing in his heart as he walked on the wide Blackstone Street.

Five years ago, Monster City had just been established. Except for the central area, which was a little angry, other areas were like a dead city.

However, what about today?

The number of residents in Monster City exceeds 100,000!

The population of the villages and towns surrounding the Monster City has more than one million residents if all statistics are taken.

Goblins, kobolds, gnolls, forest trolls, swamp trolls, earth trolls, bugbears, goatmen, tengu, harpies, troglodytes, aegeans, humans, barbarians

In five years, Longchao promulgated the policy of procreating more children and attracted a large number of clans who came to seek refuge, causing the population to increase six or seven times from 200,000 to more than one million today.

Of course, with the population expanding like this, previous strategies will naturally change. The first dragon lair, as long as it is willing to fight and is male, can more or less obtain the blood of the Dragon King and become a dragon descendant.

But in the past five years, this strategy has changed. Because the population is too large, it is impossible to take care of everyone, and even if everyone can be transformed into dragon descendants, there is not enough food to supply such a terrifying number of maws. king.

Therefore, Dragon Nest began to eliteize dragon descendants and sell dragon blood.

Dragonborn elites refer to the talented warriors of all races who are absorbed by the Black Castle. They are given more or less dragon blood, transform their bloodlines, and become dragonborn dependents.

The sale of dragon blood gives those monsters and humans who do not want to be restrained and like to roam freely in the outside world a more powerful opportunity. As long as they pay enough wealth, they can get dragon blood. Dragon Nest is very relaxed in this regard.

As a result, the Dragon Nest forces began to expand rapidly. Today, the dark forests, wastelands, Albit Kingdom, Knuckles Kingdom, Orc Kingdom, and other smaller forces covering an area of ​​more than 10 million square kilometers are basically located in the southern part of the continent. There are more or less traces of members of the Dragon Nest force.

In particular, the Dark Forest and the Wasteland are full of traces of members of the Dragon Nest force.

There was definitely resistance during this period.

After all, power expansion is essentially encroaching on the interests and territories of other forces.

But so far, all resistance, overt or covert, has been shattered by Dragon Nest.

Among them, the strongest resistance came from the local monsters in the dark forest.

Because the Dragon Nest hunted too many monsters and expanded too fast, the members of the Dragon Nest force invaded the territory of some powerful monsters, making these monsters unbearable and finally decided to join forces to eliminate the source. ——They came to the dragon's lair.

Led by the king of the western part of the dark forest, a powerful Cyclops with a height of twelve meters, several top monsters, as well as thousands of summoned monsters, rushed into the dragon's nest territory.

However, this massive war ended soon after it started.

The Cyclops was bitten off by the rock dragon Parker who rushed out of the ground, and a small half of its body was finally captured by the dragon's nest.

Among the remaining top monsters that followed the Cyclops, a one-horned python recovered from its injuries and was killed by the master-level Jackal leader Brain.

A top-level hawk monster was severely injured by the joint efforts of Bray the griffon and Bertha the crane (the name the crane gave herself), who also broke through and became a top-level creature. In the end, he was captured alive like the Cyclops.

There was also a clever top-level ape monster who saw the bad opportunity and ran away.

Without the top monsters to block the pressure in front, the remaining monster army was completely one-sided when facing the elite warriors of Dragon Nest. In the end, they basically either escaped or became food.

It was this battle that established Dragon's Nest's dominance in the Dark Forest, and it also won the titles given by the outside world - [Black Nest], [Black Wing Nest]

After this battle, coupled with the activities of a large number of adventure groups composed of monsters and humans in the outside world, the Black Wing Lair gradually gained a certain reputation in the southern part of the continent.

In the nearby area, the forces with a little knowledge basically know that there is a powerful black dragon called the Black Dragon King in the dark forest, and he has established a kingdom of monsters.

As for more detailed information, most of the forces do not know it and are too lazy to understand it. It has nothing to do with you, it doesn't threaten you, and you won't put much thought into it.

After all, the ones who really control the wind and rain on the mainland are the big forces with legendary strong men. In front of the former, other forces are just small forces, and every time they will grow up and perish.

Above the Monster City, the towering black gold castle expanded from 500 meters to 800 meters.

Longchi, central.

For humans, mountains of treasure composed of gold, silver, copper, elemental crystals, gems, and magic minerals are piled up randomly.

A thick, ferocious jet-black dragon tail with bone spurs stretched across several treasure hills, hanging casually.

Looking up from the tail of this ferocious dragon, a giant black dragon that was much bigger than Treasure Hill was sleeping.

An invisible depressive atmosphere permeated the space.

Even the air was silent, for fear of waking up this terrifying black beast.

After an unknown amount of time, the dark giant beast slowly opened its pair of huge brown and yellow longan eyes. The dark crack in the middle of the longan's pupils seemed to swallow everything.

"Another month has passed."

The dark beast muttered to himself.

“It’s been a while since I went out for a walk.”

Then go out for a walk.

The black dragon made a decision, a huge light door a hundred meters high flashed in front of him, and stepped inside.

The dragon wings and tail lift up a large amount of treasure when passing through any door, and the sound is so pleasant.

In the dark square outside the Black Castle.

More than twenty young and young dragons gathered under the arena in the square.

Roar~!

On the ring, a white dragon with a body length of more than ten meters knocked down a black dragon with a body length of more than eight meters. The dragon's blood and broken dragon scales were scattered all over the ring.

"Winner, Antonio!!"

A strong human dragonborn with a height of three meters announced the result of the battle.

"Brooke, you only got your father's blood for a year, and you think you can challenge me? Wishful thinking!" Antonio, the white dragon, looked down at Brooke and snorted.

Next will be the climactic plot of Black Wing Lair and Oudi's official appearance on the mainland stage. Let me think about it carefully.

Mainly because of fear of collapse.
