Red Dragon Emperor

On the throne in the beam of light, Jose sat upright, looking at the blood lion and the orc chief who walked in from the door.

The blood lion looked left and right, looking at the giant stone pillars in the throne hall. Living in the forest, it had never seen such a magnificent building, and everything felt fresh.

Stone Hammer Orc Graham is an old frequenter of the Throne Hall. He stared intently at the red dragon at the end of the corridor-shaped hall. As he walked, the armor parts on his body rubbed against each other and made a "click, click, click" sound.

Ignoring the blood lion who was looking around curiously, Graeme walked up to the throne stairs, knelt down on one knee, and put his hand over his heart: "Your Majesty."

"Get up."

Jose sniffed his nose. He smelled the bloody smell that couldn't be washed away from the orcs. This was the bloody smell left over from fighting with extraordinary beasts.

He said lightly: "You have made great achievements again, Graeme, what reward do you want?"

The orc hammered his chest with one hand: "It is my honor to serve the kingdom."

"Just say what you say."

""

Graham thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, many brothers died at the mouth of supernatural beasts during the cleaning of Mirkwood this time, and their bodies were never recovered. Why don't we give their families an extra compensation."

Jose nodded: "The kingdom will not treat the warriors badly."

""

After talking for a long time, the session of meritorious deeds and rewards came to an end. Jose encouraged a few words and asked the orc to bring the blood lion into the magic tower to practice.

The prime minister of the kingdom, You Gou, came to answer the invitation. He walked to the bottom of the throne steps and bowed to salute: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the dark forest is unblocked, and the rise of the kingdom is just around the corner."

"My servant, it's not time to celebrate victory yet."

Jose said lightly: "Cleaning up the extraordinary beasts is only the first step, and then we have to send people to repair the road, and we need to resist the pressure from all sides. The test has just begun."

"I have handed over the task of organizing the road construction to the Ogre. The next plan is to stand up and discuss a trade treaty with the Principality of Norn. There is nothing wrong with the trade treaty. The key to the problem is the reaction of all parties, especially North Korea. Local Witch Council, Dragon Cult, and Sunsail Harbor."

Speaking of this, Jose couldn't help but feel a little tricky. There are too many forces around the Forsey Kingdom. Building trade roads is not just as simple as building roads, but also breaks the original distribution of benefits, and affects the whole body.

The first is Yangfan Port, which has vested interests. After the commercial roads are unblocked, the flow of people in Yangfan Port will inevitably decrease a lot, and the economy of Yangfan Port will inevitably be affected.

The second is the Witches of the Northland. In fact, the connection of trade routes is a good thing for the Witch Council of the Northland. The four countries of the Northland can buy cheaper food and weapons, which is helpful to fight against the Dragon Worship. The Northland Witches Council did not deal with it, and the attitude of the Northland Witches Council was a little unclear.

Finally, there is the Dragon Worship Cult. The weapons and food exported by the Fussey Kingdom are used to deal with the Dragon Worship Cult, and the Dragon Worship Cult will definitely respond.

"Yougou, I called you here to discuss how to deal with Yangfan Port, the Northland Witch Council, and the Dragon Worship Sect. We have to guard against them."

A master and a servant fell silent, all bowed their heads in thought.

After a long time, Yougou raised his head: "Your Majesty, I decided that among the three major forces, Yangfan Port may be the best one to deal with."

Jose tilted his ear, motioning for Ergou to continue talking.

Ergou went on to say: "The opening of the commercial road allows the goods in the central part of the prairie to flow directly into the Northland market without passing through Yangfan Port. This will indeed affect the interests of Yangfan Port, but don't forget that Yangfan Port is not just a Yangfan Sail Harbor, Sunsail Harbor is also a subordinate city-state of the trading city-state."

"For the trading city-state, the overall commercial interests have not been affected. Besides, the trading city-state only does business, and it is an iron law not to intervene in power disputes. They will most likely accept the connection of commercial routes."

"If Your Majesty is worried about Gumas's eternal sun, you can notify the mage in advance, discuss with him, and use the Norn Principality as a transit point to give him the right to manage the goods shipped to the south."

Jose's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Good idea! This not only stabilizes Yangfan Port,

It is also possible to tie the Forsey Kingdom and Sunsail Port together. If the Northland Witch Council wants to do something, it has to weigh it. "

"Yes, Your Majesty, I think so too. As for the Dragon Worship Cult, this"

You Gou frowned: "I can't think of a good solution for the time being. An organization like the Dragon Worship Sect is powerful and unreasonable. It is really difficult to deal with them."

Jose nodded in agreement. Just as Ergou said, Dragon Worship is such an evil camp organization. After all, five-color dragons are the absolute main body of Dragon Worship. What can we expect from five-color dragon villains!

"Actually, there is no need to worry too much about the Dragon Worship Cult," Red Dragon changed his words, and continued: "As long as we don't take the initiative to attack and there is a contract, no matter how unhappy the Dragon Worship Cult is, we can't attack the Forsey Kingdom. enough."

""

After discussing for a long time with Yougou, Red Dragon finally finished discussing the method of dealing with the major forces and carried out the method.

In the capital of Norn Principality, everyone is discussing one thing in the streets and alleys these days.

At the food stalls on the street, several citizens of the Principality of Norn gathered to eat, drink, chat and fart.

"Well, have you heard that the Forsey Kingdom in the north will send envoys to visit His Majesty the King."

"Forsey Kingdom? That alien kingdom? Why are they visiting our Norn Principality?" A resident was puzzled.

"Isn't it! Although the Kingdom of Fossey is not far from the Principality of Norn, they are separated by the dark forest, and there is no contact between the two countries at all."

"You don't know that."

After satisfying everyone's appetite, the resident said triumphantly: "I heard from a certain important person that the Kingdom of Fossey will open up the Mirkwood and build a trade route directly to our Principality of Norn."

"My God! Is this good or bad?!"

"Of course it's a good thing. Over the years, our Norn Principality has no access to the Northland prairie, nor does it have a sea route. We can only watch people from other countries eat meat. If we can really connect trade routes, let me tell you, I will definitely be the first One ran over to do business, you don’t know how many horses there are on the northern prairie.”

"Hmph! Just you?! You still eat meat in business! But don't miss the meat! I was eaten by those monsters as meat, and the Forsyth Kingdom is a kingdom ruled by evil dragons, and there are ogres."

"You can't say that. The dragon in the Forsy Kingdom has never plundered the grassland caravan. I heard that their ogres don't eat people anymore."

""

With the spread of the news, such discussion scenes were staged in various parts of the Norn Principality, contributing to the conversation of the Norn people after dinner.

At night, in a secret room of the Duke of Norn's palace, Belden, the new Grand Duke of Norn, stood in front of a mirror and injected power into the mirror according to a fixed process.

Gradually, a red dragon figure appeared on the mirror, and the red dragon figure was the Red Dragon King of Fossey Kingdom.

The image of the red dragon said lightly: "How is the matter going?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the news has spread, and I have sent people to continue to guide the folk fallacies, to eliminate the people's scruples about the opening of the trade route. If everything goes well, the people of Norn have already accepted it in their hearts when the trade route is really connected. .”

"very good."

The red dragon in the mirror nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "These days, you must pay attention to safety, I am worried that the Council of Witches in the Northland will be unfavorable to you."

Belden swallowed his saliva. He naturally understood what the red dragon said. The council of witches in the Northland might be able to accept the opening of trade routes, because the opening of trade routes would bring benefits. Dragon himself is the king of the Principality of Norn. Strictly speaking, the four kingdoms of the Northland are the sphere of influence of the Northland Witch Council.

"You don't have to worry too much. The Forsey Kingdom will stand firmly behind you and give you support in various senses. Also, you must pay attention to win over the nobles in the country and win the hearts of the people. Don't give the Northland Witch Planning an uprising to overthrow you, as long as you are still the legal king of the Norn Principality, they will eventually be afraid."

"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your suggestion"

""

After communicating for a while, one dragon and one person terminated the call.

Belden carefully closed the door of the secret room, checked it again, and left with peace of mind.

At the same time, in a certain room on the other side of the kingdom, a woman dressed as a court lady stared coldly at the magic instrument in front of her, and the pointer on the magic instrument swung violently.

"Abnormal magic fluctuations have been detected. I must find evidence that the usurper has colluded with the evil dragon and hang that human traitor on the city wall."

However, when the witch lurker was planning how to collect evidence, what she didn't know was that in a secret room under the Norn Palace, agents belonging to the Red Dagger were also monitoring abnormal magical movements in the entire palace.

The royal palace is just a microcosm of the struggle of the entire Norn Principality. The two behemoths, the Forsey Kingdom and the Northland Witch Council, use the Norn Principality as a chessboard to launch an exciting and dangerous game.

The struggle in Norn Duchy is fierce, and the construction of trade routes in the dark forest is also in full swing.

Ogre Gago, he is a just-adult ogre. As a powerful race with the highest combat effectiveness in the entire kingdom, every ogre has received military training since childhood. Whether to stay in the army to continue serving, or to enter the society.

Of course, Gago, who has just grown up, has no right to choose, and he is also willing to serve in the kingdom's army.

As an ogre recruit, Gago spent most of his military life in daily training and seldom performed military tasks. However, under special circumstances, these young ogres who had nowhere to vent their strength and energy would be sent by their superiors. To do some special work, such as building roads in the dark forest.

"Hey yo! Hey yo!"

The ogre Hercules Gago wielded the special logging giant ax vigorously, one after another fell on the ancient tree, ten people hugged thick old wood chips flying across, and the gap at the bottom of the trunk became bigger and bigger.

"Hey! Gago! When do you think we can be like those veterans!" Not far away, the ogre, a comrade-in-arms logging together, initiated a chat with Gago.

Ga Ge glanced at the ogre guards outside the logging area. These heavily armed iron cans were the guards of the logging team and their veterans.

Ordinary veterans are not enough to make ogre boys envious, but there is a dragon head emblem on the chest armor of that ogre veteran. This dragon head emblem means that he is the most elite ogre soldier team in the kingdom. The emblem is His Majesty's affirmation to him.

Envy flashed in Ga Ge's eyes: "Work hard! Cultivate hard! One day we can also become powerful ogre warriors! There are endless delicious foods! And we can even get rewards from His Majesty the King!"

"Hey yo! Hey yo!"

Crunch!

The gap at the bottom widened, the tree creaked dully, and the trunk gradually tilted.

"It's going to fall! It's going to fall! Get out of the way!"

Boom!

The twenty-story old tree fell down and hit the ground with a loud bang, but no one looked at the fallen old tree, because the bigger movement attracted everyone's attention.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

There was a sound of heavy footsteps moving, and the ground trembled slightly. This was a huge ground dragon patrolling around.

Even though it is not the first time to see a walking dragon, the ogres still can't help but look sideways. The walking dragon is so big that even a one-story ogre is like a pony in front of an elephant in front of the walking dragon. foal.

If you encounter an earth-moving dragon in the wild, all the ogres will be terrified. However, seeing an earth-moving dragon here makes the logging team feel at ease, because both the earth-moving dragon and the ogre veterans are protecting the logging team.

This is the depths of the Mirk Forest. Even though the predecessors cleaned up a large number of dangerous supernatural beasts, there is no guarantee that supernatural beasts from other areas will not migrate over, so a strong guard team is needed.

Not only are the ogre veterans who have experienced many battles and the terrifying ground dragon, but there are also other guards around the logging team, the nimble and fast-running claw-dancing dragon, and occasionally there are two-legged wyverns flying in the sky.

But when it comes to the strongest guarding force, it is not these powerful dragons, but a lion with blood-colored hair.

Even though it only appeared once, the bloody lion's suffocating aura left a deep impression on everyone, as if it was imprinted in their minds and could not be erased, because it was the breath of a legendary beast.

Everyone also heard that His Majesty the King specially tamed the bloody lion to protect the trade route.

"Hey yo! Hey yo!"

The passing of the Dixinglong was just an episode, and the ogres continued their logging mission. Their mission was to open up a road to the sky in this primitive dense forest.

Behind the ogre, kobolds, jackals and other small races, with saws and other tools, cut and processed the fallen ancient wood into various materials. The good wood was brought back for centralized storage, and the poor wood was left for logging. Or camp, after drying, it can be used as firewood for cooking.

The trade road was built steadily according to the plan in accordance with the will of the Red Dragon.
