Chapter 744 - 744 733 25 Son
Chapter 744: Chapter 733: 25 Son Chapter 744: Chapter 733: 25 Son “Are these your minions?” Bernard, who had grown to fifteen meters in his constant eating, looked at the Cloud Giants descending from the sky, a complex look in his eyes.
Although he had guessed earlier, it was still shocking when speculation became reality, after all, some speculations were just guesses and could be wrong.
“What else could it be?” Muria glanced at this bumpkin. His lack of worldliness made Muria feel somewhat embarrassed. It was disgraceful to show off this minion who thought Titans were imaginary beings from myth. His shallow knowledge left Muria speechless.
“Focus on adapting to the power of my blood, you are not yet in your complete form,” Muria instructed, “In a while, your power will grow stronger. If you can calm down and accumulate some strength, it wouldn’t be impossible for you to break through to the legendary level with my help.”
“I understand.” Bernard didn’t feel too thrilled hearing that he might soon reach the legendary level he longed for, because this was the price of becoming a servant.
Next, Bernard conscientiously handed over his territory to Muria, all he needed to do was, at the time of the giant’s takeover of the city, send his officials to pacify the public.
Thanks to his previous actions, the human commoners in his territory had a very high degree of acceptance towards intelligent creatures other than humans. There was hardly any disturbance, and Muria took over Thorn Territory.
Sinapus’s actual control over the land area of the Evil Dragon Peninsula doubled in an instant. This was one of the benefits of subduing a land with a leader. As long as the highest leader was taken down, the whole territory would be in hand, saving time and effort.
However, there was no second territory like Thorn Ridge in the entire Evil Dragon Peninsula. The giants of Sinapus had to fight for every inch of territory hereafter. The difficulty of conquest would only increase.
Because at the beginning of the occupation, many intelligent beasts, seeing the Giant Legion, ran away. When they had nowhere to run to, they would gather together and resist.
In fact, the conquest of the land by the Giant Legion was not as easy as it was at the beginning, the resistance they faced was getting greater, but so far there had been no casualties. After all, whether it was the average strength of the individuals in their the Legion, the numbers, or the equipment, they far outstripped the local inhabitants of the Evil Dragon Peninsula.
In every aspect, Sinapus held an absolute advantage over the native inhabitants of the Evil Dragon Peninsula. Muria couldn’t think of any possibility of him losing. How could the Flying Dragon rides lose?
The conquest of the Evil Dragon Peninsula was only a matter of time. The only question was how much he would have to pay for it.
“Tell me about your family.” After his army had just taken over Thorn Territory, Muria found Bernard, who was gorging himself, his butt growing a tail and two lumps of meat bulging on his back, and asked him about his family.
“I was born into an ordinary noble family, and I’m a second son at an awkward position,” Bernard told Muria about his background.
“No, no, you misunderstand me. I have no interest in your rags-to-riches story. I just want to know what status your noble family holds in its country and how many resources it controls?”
Muria expressed that he had no interest in listening to Bernard’s rags-to-riches story. According to Bernard’s current status, Muria could tell even with his feet that he must be the head of his family.
“My family now belongs to the top elites of the Sapphire Duchy, one of the seven Marquis families.” Bernard said proudly. Before he was born, his family had struggled for generations to earn an earl’s title.
After his birth, he raised his family to the high nobility. He was a living legend in the Sapphire Duchy, the dream lover of many noble young ladies.
But obviously, Muria was not interested in his affairs. After hearing about his family’s status in the duchy, his face even showed a very obvious dislike, “Just a Marquis?”
According to the customary rules of human kingdoms, the highest title a soul-intent level can obtain is only a Marquis. Legends possess the qualifications to establish a duchy, lazy legends, no matter which country they join, even if they join an empire, could obtain an honorary duchy title.
“You…” Seeing the look on Muria’s face, Bernard was a bit ashamed and wanted to say something, but couldn’t articulate anything. After all, Muria, who possessed the legendary bloodline, was naturally dismissive of a human Marquis.
“Forget it, let’s make do with it!” Muria sighed helplessly. He hadn’t found the Five Colored Dragons that were exiled to this continent, and these dragons were not on the Evil Dragon Peninsula.
He had sent the Storm Giants under his command to fly over the entire Evil Dragon Peninsula, but he didn’t find any signs of the exiled Five Colored Dragons. Since they weren’t on the peninsula, they must be on the mainland.
Now that the warfare on the Evil Dragon Peninsula had stabilized, Muria’s mind naturally became more active. He wanted to enter the mainland via the Thorns Territory to search for traces of those dragons.
Furthermore, Muria believed that after messing around for so many years, those dragons definitely wouldn’t be unknown nobodies. They should have some reputation by now. As long as he made slight inquiries, he should be able to get relevant information.
“Notify your family to prepare for my arrival, as for my identity, you handle it! You can either fabricate a story, or tell the truth, either way works,” Muria casually instructed, glancing at Bernard, who was stuffing himself.
He didn’t give a damn about the feelings of this guy. Now, Bernard had become his minion and his life and death were controlled by Muria. As a minion, one should behave like a minion. Just obey orders obediently. What, was he supposed to give consideration to the feelings of a minion? Bullshit, who was the master, and who was the minion?
…
A fleet sailed on the boundless sea, cutting through the wind and waves, with Muria and a heroic young lady standing against the wind on the flagship in the center.
Within the sky, Storm Giants riding on Giant Pengs hid among the clouds. Surrounding the fleet, numerous long shadows loomed in the sea, appearing and disappearing. Sometimes, some of these shadows would break through the seawater, revealing a part of themselves under the sunlight, fretfully observed by the sailors on the fleet.
“How many undead did you kill this time?” On the wooden flagship, Muria looked at his fiancée endearingly.
Xena Pus had already left the Obistro Subcontinent, but still possessed a teleportation array connecting the two locations, greatly facilitating Michaela. She often led the Angel Legion, transformed from the Night Watch, to launch large-scale operations in the Undead Dungeon, purifying vast numbers of undead creatures. This not only was her favorite thing to do, but also embodied the past wishes of the Night Watch under her command.
Despite her conspicuous behavior, Muria was not worried about her. This was because Muria had bought off the oldest monster in the Undead Dungeon, Ghost Ship Captain Barbosa.
Each piece of information about Michaela’s expeditions was provided by Barbosa, who was quite reliable. This was because Muria had told him that if anything happened to Michaela, the Blazing Sky Gods would come for him, so he didn’t dare to play any tricks with the information.
As a Great Lich who had lived for ten thousand years, Barbosa knew every old undead stronghold within the Undead Dungeon. Now, all these locations were sold to Muria as information. He didn’t care about the undead creatures that had been cleansed.
Surprisingly, it was Barbosa who initiated this information trade. He openly admitted to Muria that he wanted the resources left behind by the removed undead. The angels had no use for these Undead resources, each party gleaned what it needed, a clear and straightforward plot.
…
While Muria was sailing on the ocean with Michaela, Bernard, following Muria’s orders, activated the Communication Magic Array to contact his father.
“Father!” Bernard, who was slightly adapted to the powers of dragon blood and turned back into his human form, looked at the projection from the Magic Array, greeting emotionally when he saw the figure of a middle-aged man. His experiences over the past few days felt like a nightmare.
“My son, the pride of the Tulip Family, what new gains do you have recently?” Sitting behind his desk, the Tulip Marquis took a sip from his teacup. Ever since his son came into prominence, he had brought him tremendous surprises one after another, stirring his nerves each time. He was accustomed to it now, prepared for being shocked by his son again. Anyway, he wouldn’t hold his cup unsteadily out of surprise like before.
“No gains. Instead, I lost Thorns Territory,” Bernard said in a downtrodden tone.
“Ah!” Duke Tulip’s hand slightly halted, sprinkling the tea onto the table. He looked at the images projected by the Communication Magic Array and forced a laugh, “My son, are you joking with me?”
“I’m not joking, Father,” Bernard paused for a moment and decided to tell his father the truth. There was nothing worthy of concealment. He had already become Muria’s servant. Could his family escape?
“What exactly happened?” Duke Tulip looked stern.
“The Thorns Territory is no longer ours, and I have become someone else’s servant,” Bernard, feeling a bit melancholic, raised his hand. Under Duke Tulip’s astonished gaze, one golden scale after another emerged from his palm, turning his hand into a dragon claw.
