Chapter 726: 716 Chapter 726: 716 “From now on, you are my servants, not allowed to follow or listen to the command of any dragon other than myself. Otherwise, be prepared to bear my wrath!”
Seeing those familiar dragon shadows, the young female dragon Hannah suddenly became anxious. However, to appease her newly acquired several hundred beastmen, she suppressed her feelings and instructed carefully.
“You are not allowed to go anywhere today. Stay here. Do you understand?” Hannah Albo tried to exude an air of authority, but her barely ten meter stature didn’t hold much power.
“But, great Red Dragon Lord, our tribe’s food reserves are not enough. If we don’t go hunting today, we will starve,” an elderly beastman mustered up the courage to speak. Their village had recently held a ceremony, and the surviving children required plenty of food.
“As I said, as long as you’re with me, you will never starve again. I will take care of your food.” Hannah Albo boasted while patting her chest with her claw. Very generously, she took out more than ten huge fish from the space ring that Xena Pus allocated and threw them in front of the beastmen, creating a pile of meat mountains.
The strong and pungent smell of the sea filled the air, but the beastmen didn’t care. As long as they had meat to eat, they didn’t care about the smell. How could they be picky when they were barely filling their stomachs?
“You all stay here. I have other matters to attend to. I’ll come back for you in a few days.” The young female dragon suffered pain while plucking a dragon scale off her body, using the knowledge in her mind, she took out some broken small crystals, laid a simple magic array on the ground, and placed the dragon scale in it.
The unique Red Dragon aura from her spread as the magic array worked, enveloping the village instantly. All the beastmen were unconsciously marked with her aura. This was to declare to other dragons that this village had already been claimed by a dragon.
“You all protect this magic array. Do not destroy it. If other dragons come to you, just state my name honestly. They won’t dare to attack you.”
After making a statement that confused the beastmen, the young female dragon anxiously opened her dragon wings and flew into the sky heading towards the distance. She soon disappeared from the beastmen’s sight.
“What exactly does the Red Dragon Lord mean? Could there be another dragon besides her?” An elderly beastman looked lost. He had lived so long, yet this was the first time he had seen a real dragon. He was also the first one to kneel before her.
The rest of the robust beastmen didn’t have such complex thoughts though. Their faces full of joy, they excitedly approached the meat mountains. They drew their weapons and started cutting the fish meat. The strong, pungent smell of the sea was completely ignored by them. Eating meat was the only thing on their minds.
Roar!
However, these beastmen hadn’t been busy for long before a green meteor fell from the sky and landed in another part of their village, destroying a large area of houses. As the beastmen were stunned, a green dragon with wingspan over forty meters, much larger than the previous red dragon, emerged from the collapse.
Like the red dragon before, this green dragon also looked down on these beastmen arrogantly. But when he was about to say something, his expression froze. He looked at the small array setup by the small red dragon before leaving, and at the dragon scale in the magic array, which was faintly gleaming with spirit light.
“Damn, got beaten by a little one again.” Seeing that dragon scale, the adolescent green dragon, Bill Plochini, showed regret in his eyes.
He was just a bit lazy, overslept a bit, and then this happened. He flew a few dozen kilometers inland from the sea from Xena Pus, found over ten beastman villages along the way, and every single one had this kind of dragon scale mark. It meant that these villages had all pledged loyalty to the other dragons of the five colored dragons. He was too slow.
“Great Green Dragon, we are the minions of the Red Dragon, Hannah Albo.” The appearance of a second dragon in a short period of time stunned most of the beastmen in the village. Because this green dragon was much more imposing than the small red dragon just now, the elderly beastman once again shakily stepped forward and reported the name as per the Red Dragon’s instructions.
Honestly, the old beastman was a bit torn. He had lived for so long and hadn’t encountered a single dragon, but today two of them showed up in succession. Both of these dragons seemed to want to take them as minions. As a beastman, they should follow the strong. There was no doubt that the green dragon was stronger than the red dragon, but the red dragon had more potential, which made it difficult to choose.
“I know, get the hell away from me.” The green dragon, Bill Plochini, was impatient, having not subdued a single beastman village up until now. He looked at the dragon scale, hesitated for a moment, then spread his wings and flew into the sky towards the distance.
At first, he wanted to destroy the dragon scale and claim the beastmen of this village as his own. But this move would undoubtedly break the rules, and these rules were set by the master of Xena Pus, Muria, also known as the Dragon Lord. Breaking his rules would be equivalent to challenging his authority.
Thinking of the fate of those giant dragons who had challenged the authority of the Dragon Lord, the adolescent dragon Bill immediately dismissed his thoughts, earnestly continuing his search for beastmen villages without masters. After all, according to the information he had obtained, a vast area of this continent was occupied by beastmen. So in truth, if he wanted to find such villages, he still could. There was no need to risk offending Muria.
…
“Come on, my little dragons! I’ve given you the chance, don’t disappoint me.” On the Central Cloud Island of Sinapus, at the edge of the Roghagen Subcontinent, Muria stood in front of a rough map of the continent in the Wind King Castle.
On the edges of this map, one could see a bright gold spot. From this golden light spot as the starting point, hundreds of smaller, colorful light spots spread out in all directions. Every stop they made on the map of the continent left a smaller corresponding light spot. As time passed, more and more colorful spots appeared on the map, each representing a beastmen’s village conquered by the five-colored dragons.
As the spots spread, mountains, rivers, forests, plains, basins, and hills began to appear on the blurry map. Muria had bestowed each dragon with corresponding detection magic. While these dragons were enthusiastically subduing their minions, they were also helping Muria to refine her map.
“You all must be fully prepared. At the pace that these dragons are expanding, clashes with the powerful creatures on this continent will soon be inevitable.”
Muria looked to both sides of the map, where numerous Legends radiating powerful auras were on standby. The number of Legends now at her command was nearly forty, primarily Frost Giants, Liches, and Six-armed Nagas. However, the number of Legends immediately at her beck and call was fewer than ten.
“Be ready to provide support to them at any time.”
…
“Hmm, as expected, there are beastmen villages here too. There would be over a thousand in count, quite impressive.” After having found over twenty villages that were already occupied by his own kind, a frustrated adolescent green dragon called Bill used the teleportation spell consecutively ten times to get hundreds of kilometers away. There, he finally found a beastmen village that wasn’t already claimed.
“Lowly beastmen, submit to the great Bill Plochini! I will provideboard and lodging!” The disgruntled green dragon bluntly uttered the four-word mantra that Muria had told him would subdue beastmen, not bothering with any pretense.
Without waiting for a response from the somewhat baffled green beastmen before him, he drew a sea creature over twenty meters long from his storage ring and hurled it on the ground.
“Submit to me, and this fish is yours.”
Upon hearing the haughty declaration from the suddenly appearing green dragon, the green-skinned beastmen of the village were at a loss. A towering green beastman, almost four meters tall, stepped forward. He looked up at the enormous green dragon—a mere ten meters tall while standing—and spoke with reverence,
“Great Green Dragon, we have already followed the formidable Red Dragon, Rachel Feinshumake. So, we cannot follow you.”
“You have a dragon master too!” After hearing that these beastmen were already following a dragon, the young green dragon was immediately incensed. He had used his teleportation spell ten times consecutively, which left him feeling like his skeleton was falling apart. To hear that these beastmen were still beastmen of the dragon, it was too much.
“No, that’s not right. I don’t recognize the name Rachel Feinshumake at all. I have no memory of it.” But the young dragon quickly reacted. He carefully sensed the aura of this beastman village. Indeed, there was a strand of hot red dragon’s aura, but this aura felt very unfamiliar. It did not match the aura left by any red dragon he knew, and this was not a dragon from Sinapus.
“Since it’s not a dragon from Sinapus, it’s not under the protection of the rules. In other words, I can steal it.”
Having thought of this, the emerald dragon’s eyes lit up immediately. He looked at the green beastman chief in front of him, still brimming with confidence, and spoke in a voice quivering with barely suppressed excitement, “Tell me, where is your master?”
“What do you intend to do?”
“Hehe, I am going to teach him how to be a dragon!”
