This Giant Dragon is So Powerful!

Chapter 142 - 14: Brothers All_3

In this scene, not only here but in other places as well, core members of the Higlind family are leading squads of Dragon Blood Warriors to compel human nobility to subjugate, partake in dragon blood, and become one of their own.

This is the strategy of bloodline assimilation.

Under these nobles’ allegiance, the southern territories of the Wasteland were soon all under the control of the Higlind family.

The reason these nobles were so compliant, aside from the huge disparity in strength, was also due to their inner concerns; they were unclear about the terrifying side effects that might come from drinking the blood.

Although later they discovered that besides having a much more voracious appetite and benefits of increased physical prowess, there were no apparent side effects, their cunning minds still believed the Higlind family must have hidden other means of control within the blood.

What if later they really perceive that the dragon blood had no side effects?

Sorry, by then the territory was no longer a place where these nobles could have the final say. The Higlind family was not the nascent Viscount family it was six years ago.

Now the Higlind family, with Roy not only being a High-level Mage but also surpassing in biological level, together breaking through to Advanced. With a Level 10 biological level plus Level 11 caster level, wielding a greatsword in his left hand and silently chanting Magic Spells, he has directly turned into a Close Combat Mage, extremely formidable, even Twelve and Thirteen Levels professionals might not be a match for him.

Additionally, Roy’s most gifted son, Wilson, has recently stepped into the rank of Advanced Warrior.

And within the family, there are plenty of elders and core relatives at Level 8-9 strength, perhaps in a few years, they will become a batch of new High-level Professionals.

Apart from these core family members, the Higlind family has also specially bestowed dragon blood upon loyal guards and family warriors, transforming them into Dragon Blood Warriors. Their quantity is not large, only over three hundred, but each is at least Level 5.

It’s noteworthy that Kas Duchy only boasts two Intermediate Professional Corps, one being the Purple Thorn Knight Order and the other being the Duke’s Personal Guard; the former’s formation barely replenished to a thousand recently (five years ago was severely impaired by the combined attack of the Hurricane Centaur Knight Order and Leanna), the latter has even fewer numbers, only eight hundred, totaling merely eighteen hundred together.

Comparing eighteen hundred with over three hundred, the disparity is five to six times. However, one was formed from scraping together resources in a duchy with a population of ten million, while the Higlind family constructed theirs within six years from a territory of merely tens of thousands, not based on the same foundation at all, the gap in spent resources is substantial as well.

Given the current prowess of the Higlind family, within the Kingdom, they can easily secure a Count position; and if some connections are added, plus Roy’s power improvement a bit, a Master-level combat power might even usher in a Duke position.

.....

Meanwhile, at the border between the Central and Southern parts of the Wasteland, two monster armies collided.

Upon the plains, Gray, with his big eyes staring at the swarm-like monster army opposite.

Why do these monster armies look so familiar... Gray instinctively glanced back at the monster army he led, then turned to stare with his Copper Bell Eyes at the opposing monster army.

Goodness, the styles are practically cut from the same mold.

Gray hesitated for a moment, raised his hand, and tentatively made a gesture to attack, then swiftly turned his head back to look at the monster army behind.

The monster army stared innocently at ’their own’ Commander Gray with their big eyes.

"Why are they not attacking?" Gray angrily asked the Big Goblin Vice Commander beside him.

"We don’t know either, maybe it’s because they feel the big brothers on the other side look quite familiar and kind, and don’t have the heart to strike..." The Big Goblin Vice Commander standing beside Gray chuckled foolishly and scratched the back of his head.
