Red Dragon Emperor

Chapter 281 Flag Bearer and Chessboard

On the throne in the beam of light, Jose sat upright and looked 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 room. Living in the forest, it had never seen such a magnificent building, and everything felt new to it.

Stonehammer Orc - Graeme is a regular visitor to the throne hall. He stares intently at the red dragon at the end of the corridor-shaped hall. As he moves around, the armor parts on his body rub together and make a "click-click" sound.

Ignoring the blood lions who were looking around curiously, Graeme walked to the steps of the throne, knelt down on one knee and covered his heart with one hand: "Your Majesty."

"Get up."

Jose sniffed his nose, and he smelled the smell of blood that could not be washed away from the orcs. This was the smell of blood left over from fighting extraordinary beasts, and his eyes softened a little.

He said calmly: "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 are told."

"emmm..."

Graeme thought for a moment, then raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, during this cleanup of the Dark Forest, many brothers died at the mouths of extraordinary beasts, and their bodies cannot be recovered. Why not give their families an additional compensation?"

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

"..."

After a long conversation, the discussion of merit and rewards was over. Jose encouraged him a few words and asked the orc to take the blood lion into the magic tower to practice.

The prime minister of the kingdom, Yi Gou, responded to the call. He walked to the bottom of the steps of the throne and bowed: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the dark forest is clear, and the rise of the kingdom is just around the corner."

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

Jose said calmly: "Cleaning out the extraordinary beasts is only the first step. Next, we have to send people to build roads. We also need to resist the pressure from all parties. The test has just begun."

"I have handed over the task of organizing road construction to the ogre. The next plan is to stand up and negotiate a trade treaty with the Norn Principality. There is no problem with the trade treaty. The key to the problem is the reaction of all parties, especially the North. Earth Witch Council, Dragon Worship Cult and Yangfan Port."

Speaking of this, Jose couldn't help but feel a little tricky. There were too many forces around the Fusai Kingdom. Building trade roads was not just a matter of building roads. It also broke the original distribution of interests and affected the whole body.

The first is the vested interest - Yangfan Port. After the trade route is smoothed, the flow of people in Yangfan Port will inevitably decrease a lot, and the economy of Yangfan Port will inevitably be affected.

Next is the Witches of the North. In fact, the connection of trade routes is a good thing for the Witches Council of the North. The four countries in the North can purchase cheaper food and weapons, which will help fight against the Dragon Cult. However, the Kingdom of Fusei and The Northland Witches' Council didn't deal with it, and the Northland Witches' Council's attitude was a bit unclear.

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

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

The master and the servant fell silent, all bowing their heads in thought.

After a long time, Yi Gou raised his head: "Your Majesty, I have decided that among the three major forces,

Yangfan Port is probably the best one to handle. "

Jose tilted his ear and motioned for Yougou to continue.

Yougou continued: "The connection of the trade road allows the goods from the central 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 Yangfan Port. Sail Port and Yangfan Port are also subordinate city-states of the trading city-state."

"For the trading city-state, the overall commercial interests have not been affected. Moreover, the trading city-state only does business and does not interfere in disputes. It is an iron rule that they will accept the connection of trade routes."

"If your Majesty is concerned about Gemas Eternal Sun's thoughts, you can notify the mage in advance and discuss with him to use the Principality of Norn as a transit point and hand over to him the management rights for goods shipped to the south."

Jose's eyes lit up when he heard this: "What a great idea! This will not only stabilize Sunsail Port, but also tie the Kingdom of Fossey and Sunsail Port together. If the Northland Witch Council wants to take action, it will have to weigh it carefully. .”

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

Yougou frowned: "I can't think of any good solution for the time being. Organizations like the Dragon Worship Cult are powerful and unreasonable. It's really difficult to deal with them."

Jose nodded in agreement. As Yi Gou said, the Dragon Worship Cult is such an evil organization. After all, the five-color dragon is the absolute main body of the Dragon Worship Cult. What else can we expect from the five-color dragon villain!

"In fact, you don't have 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 Kingdom of Fusai. With this bottom line, enough."

"..."

Red Dragon and Yi Gou discussed for a long time, and finally concluded the method of dealing with the major forces and implemented the method.

…………………………………………

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

At a street food stall, several citizens of the Norn Principality gathered together to eat, drink, chat, and chat.

"Well, have you heard that the Kingdom of Fusai in the north will send an envoy to visit His Majesty the King?"

"The Kingdom of Fusai? That alien kingdom? Why do they come to visit our Principality of Norn?" A resident was puzzled.

"Isn't it? Although the Kingdom of Fusei is not far from the Principality of Norn, they are blocked by the Dark Forest. There is no contact between the two countries at all."

"You don't know this."

After satisfying everyone's appetite, the residents said proudly: "I heard from a certain important person that the Kingdom of Fusai will open up the dark forest and build a trade road directly to our Principality of Norn."

"Oh my god! Is this a good thing or a bad thing?!"

"Of course it's a good thing. In recent years, our Norn Principality has not had access to the Northland prairie, nor has there been a sea route. We can only watch people from other countries eat meat. If we can really connect the trade routes, I tell you, I will definitely If you go there to do business, you don’t know how good the horses are on the northern prairie..."

"Humph! It's just you?! You're still doing business and eating meat! Don't miss the meat! I was eaten as meat by those monsters. The Kingdom of Fusai is a kingdom ruled by evil dragons, and there are also ogres."

"You can't say that. The dragon from the Fusai Kingdom has never robbed a grassland caravan. I heard that their ogres don't eat people anymore..."

"..."

As the news spread, such discussion scenes were staged throughout the Norn Principality, providing the Norn citizens with conversation topics after dinner.

At night, in a secret room in the palace of the Duke of Norn, Belden, the newly succeeded 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. The red dragon figure was none other than the Red Dragon King of the Kingdom of Fusai.

The red dragon image said calmly: "How are things going?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the news has been spread. I have also sent people to continue to guide the people's fallacies and eliminate people's concerns about the connection of the trade route. If everything goes well, by the time the trade route is really connected, the Norn people will have already accepted it in their hearts. .”

"very good."

The red dragon in the mirror nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "You must pay attention to safety these days. I am worried that the Northland Witch Council will be detrimental to you."

Belden swallowed his saliva. He naturally understood what the red dragon said. The Northland Witch Council might be able to accept the connection of the trade route, because the connection of the trade route would bring benefits and no one would be embarrassed about money, but they would definitely not be able to accept the connection of the trade route with the red dragon. As the king of the Norn Principality, Long himself, strictly speaking, the Four North Kingdoms are the sphere of influence of the Northland Witch Council.

"You don't have to worry too much. The Kingdom of Fossey will stand firmly behind you and give you support in every sense. Also, you must pay attention to winning over the domestic nobles and winning over the people. Don't give it to the Witch of the North. They will eventually be wary of planning an uprising to overthrow you, as long as you are the legitimate king of the Norn Principality."

"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reminder..."

"..."

After communicating for a while, Yilong ended the call.

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

At the same time, in a room on the other side of the kingdom, a woman dressed as a palace maid stared coldly at the magic instrument in front of her, and the pointer on the magic instrument was swinging violently.

"Abnormal magic fluctuations have been detected. I must find evidence that the usurper is colluding with the evil dragon and hang the 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 throughout the palace.

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

………………………………

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

Ogre - Ga Ge, he is a newly adult ogre. As a powerful race with the best combat effectiveness in the entire kingdom, every ogre has received military training since childhood. After adulthood, he needs to serve in the army for a certain number of years before he can choose life. , choose whether to stay in the army and continue serving, or to enter the society.

Of course, Ga Ge, who has just grown up, has no choice yet, and he is also willing to serve in the kingdom's army.

As an ogre recruit, Gage's military life is mostly about daily training and rarely performs military tasks. However, under special circumstances, these young ogres who have nowhere to vent their strength and energy will also be sent by their superiors. Go do some special work, like building roads in the dark forest.

"Hey! Hey!"

The ogre Hercules - Ga Ge danced the special logging ax vigorously, striking the ancient tree with one axe after another. The thick old tree debris flew across the arms of ten people, and the gap at the bottom of the tree trunk became wider and wider. .

"Hey! Ga Ge! When do you think we can be like those veterans!" Not far away, a comrade-in-arms ogre who was logging together started chatting with Ga Ge.

Hearing this, 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 senior veterans.

If being an ordinary veteran is not enough to make the ogre boys envious, there is a dragon head emblem on the armor on the chest of the ogre veteran. This dragon head emblem means that he is the most elite team of ogre soldiers in the kingdom and has won the title of His Majesty the Kingdom. The emblem was His Majesty the King's recognition of him.

A flash of envy flashed in Ga Ge's eyes: "Work hard! Practice hard! One day we can become powerful ogre warriors! There will be endless delicious food! We can also get rewards from His Majesty the King!"

"Hey! Hey!"

Crunch!

The gap at the bottom widened, the trees made a dull creaking sound, and the trunks gradually tilted.

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

Boom!

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

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The movement of heavy objects made the sound of thumping footsteps, and the earth trembled slightly. This was a huge ground dragon patrolling around.

Even though it was not the first time they saw the Earth-walking dragon, the ogres still couldn't help but look sideways. The Earth-walking dragon was so big that even a one-story-tall ogre looked like a pony in front of an elephant. foal.

If they encounter an earth-walking dragon in the wild, the ogres will definitely be afraid. However, seeing the earth-walking dragon here, the logging team feels at ease, because both the earth-walking dragon and the ogre veterans protect the logging team.

This is the depths of the Dark Forest. Even though the predecessors have cleared away a large number of dangerous extraordinary beasts, there is no guarantee that extraordinary beasts from other areas will not migrate here, so a strong guard team is needed.

Not only are there experienced ogre veterans and terrifying ground dragons, but there are also other guard teams around the logging team, agile and running claw dragons, and occasionally flying dragons 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 suffocating momentum of the bloody lion left a deep impression on everyone, and it was like it was imprinted in the mind and could not be erased, because it was the aura of the legendary beast.

Everyone also heard that His Majesty the King specially tamed the red lion to protect the trade routes.

"Hey! Hey!"

The passing of the earth-walking dragon was just an interlude. The ogres continued their task of logging. Their mission was to open up a road to the sky in this primitive dense forest.

Behind the ogres, small races such as kobolds and jackals used saws and other tools to cut and process the fallen ancient trees into various materials. The good wood was taken back for centralized storage, while the bad wood was left for logging. They would then be used as wood for cooking fires after drying.

The trade road followed the will of the red dragon and was steadily built according to the plan.
