Chapter 145 - 15: This Is How Casters Are Used; Dark Nest_3
Another set is for other humanoid races. For example, Giant Demons can fully appreciate the beauty of Humans, Half-Elves, Beastmen, and even Minotaurs.
However, when it comes to aesthetics, Dragons are the strongest. They can sense beauty and ugliness in all creatures.
A group of muscle-bound creatures chatting and bantering, but it was tough on the tavern owner and the waitstaff.
Since the beginning, the amount of cold sweat has been enough to fill a jug of wine.
"These monsters can drink too much..." The tavern owner stood in the basement, looking at the brew that was half gone, feeling heartbroken.
The roasted meat was fine, as it was taken from the nobles’ farms in the town, not the tavern owner’s.
The tavern owner’s face was ashen, fists clenching and unclenching... He himself was a retired Adventurer, not weak in strength, a Mid-level Professional. If he resisted... He thought of the terrifying muscle monsters in the tavern and the pile of Professional corpses on the square forming a small hill these days, the anger subsided in his heart.
"Alas." The tavern owner shook his head, choosing to give up the struggle.
Time passed, the Wilderness Plains gradually calmed, and the division of forces became clearer.
The Northern Wasteland was occupied by Centaurs, who gathered an army to capture the southern border cities of the Yalbit Kingdom. Facing the Centaur threat, the Kingdom’s reaction was a bit slow, but with the Wilderness Plains as a buffer, it gave the Kingdom time to gather a rapid army at the border giant city ’Portman’, confronting the Centaur army, the atmosphere tense, a large-scale war conflict could happen at any moment.
The Central Wasteland was occupied by Queen of Darkness Leanna, who declared herself as establishing a nation, calling it the Dark Nest. The territory measures about 200,000 square kilometers, ruling over hundreds of thousands of humans and tens of thousands of monsters.
As the fame of the Queen of Darkness spread, monsters hiding from humans in the corners of the wasteland excitedly flocked to the Dark Nest, intending to seek refuge and build a Monster Realm together.
The Southern Wasteland was occupied by the Dragon Nest monsters under Udi’s command, though on the surface, it is ruled by the Higlind family.
This news also enraged the Purple Thorn Duke of the Kas Duchy, who, upon receiving the news, quickly dispatched the newly supplemented Purple Thorn Knight Order and thirty thousand troops northward to eliminate the rebellious Higlind family.
However, in reality, although the Purple Thorn Knight Order and thirty thousand troops reached the border, they showed no intention of attacking the Higlind family, instead stationed within the border town ’Visalia’, remaining inactive.
To this, the Higlind family felt somewhat relieved.
If the Kas Duchy really attacked, winning or losing aside, the damage to their family’s power would be severe for sure.
In terms of main combat strength, the Higlind family is not afraid of the Kas Duchy, as their family combined with the Dragon Nest’s Monster Warriors directly crush the Kas Duchy in mid-level combat power.
But in terms of high-level combat power, if the Kas Duchy sent a Master-level Professional, it would be hard for the Higlind family.
If the Purple Thorn Duke personally leads the campaign, then only the master can fight against him. However, as for asking the master to personally intervene... the Higlind family does not hold out hope.
With so many years of interaction, they know the Black Dragon King’s personality well; very cautious, and he doesn’t care much about the loss of his follower’s forces.
"The reason the Purple Thorn Duke isn’t attacking us must be to provoke a fight between the Dark Nest and our Higlind family, reaping the biggest benefits."
In the Southern Wasteland, inside Wit Castle outside Pross Town, Roy and a group of family leaders analyze the current situation.
