Chapter 1166: New dragonrider
The battle of the eastern islands took a full 7 days and during these 7 days, I had leveled to level 214 but I didn"t trigger an 8th job advancement. Probably the 8th job level wasn"t level 210 and I had to continue waiting.
A hundred over islands had the Tian Ling City flag hanging over them. All of them also had some mid to low tier Royal Army troops in charge and they would swap around every half a year. Those important ones like Dragon Tail Island and Weishan Island raised a batch of messenger birds that could head over to Tian Ling City and Dragon City. Moreover, I encouraged farming and training of troops. Each month theywould send over grain, weapons, horses and clothes to Dragon City. Basically, Dragon City"s resource problem was solved and even if Frost tried to expand her army to 200 thousand, it would be okay.
But that seemed like something that was incoming. Dragon City had 110 thousand troops now and a short while later they would be able to have 200 thousand. Unknowingly, Dragon City had become the strongest army within Tian Ling City. Luckily, Dragon City and Royal Army were brother armies and they didn"t threaten us.
...
At the same time as Tian Ling City expanded, this also meant that the j.a.panese and Koreans had lost their last foothold. The internet spread videos of Frost Forest, Demon Moon, Lee etc players telling their players to head to Seven Shine City to join Clear Black Eyes"s Indian Region. They were trying to form an alliance.
Finally, due to China"s strength, we forced our enemies to join hands. In the past, the Indians and the j.a.panese were enemies too but now they had to share a city. Who knew what their current thoughts were.
"Keng keng..."
One could hear the sound of the water pushing onto the ships. I sat beside the head of the boat and lowered my mantle to sleep in game. Anyways it was really boring to travel in game.
Old K, Song Han, Fox etc were extremely excited. Old K held his axe and said, "This time those j.a.panese finally know how strong we are, let"s see how they will react!"
Fox smiled, "This time we won right?"
Xue Rou smiled, "Don"t be too delighted, we have not wiped out our strongest enemy yet! Sky Rose is still recruiting people at Iron Skull City. Swirling Abyss City is basically allies with Iron Skull City. I heard that they have headed towards the Chiyou Tribe to seek help from the ancient humans!"
"Chiyou Tribe?" I was shocked, "That is our special map..."
Lin Wan Er said, "Unfortunately, it is west of Swirling Abyss City and is too far from us. Even if we had thoughts about it, it is impractical. Actually, there is something we can consider."
She leapt towards my side and sat beside me. She pulled my arm, "Frost and you are so close and she has all the resources of the dragons. You should use that to help Zhan Long get more eggs. In the next country war, Zhan Long can have more dragon riders and we will have a higher chance of winning."
I looked around. Li Mu, w.a.n.g Jian, Old K"s eyes were filled with desire. Which cavalry player wouldn"t want to become the top dragonrider? But... This was such a huge favor. Let"s wait till we submitted the quest at Dragon City!
...
It was 3pm in reality and a continent appeared ahead. It was Ba Huang City"s coast. Once we docked, the soldiers started to transport the weapons and grain down.
We chased tens of thousands of prisoners towards Dragon City. Weapons and grain were what they badly needed. As for these prisoners, they could be troops once tamed, if not, they could be used as workers. Royal Army attacked the islands to conquer them and not to kill them. So I ordered them to show mercy to those NPCs that surrendered.
The players also surged into Dragon City. Frost predicted that and arranged thousands of low tier generals to welcome the players. The players could hand over their quests and gain rewards. I wasn"t in a rush so I headed up the city with Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue. It was better than I submitted the quest to her right away. I also had some requests so it was better if I met her.
...
Within the main hall, a few Boss generals were here. Frost and Lanais were dealing with a row of arrows and discussing about the strength of the arrowheads. Zhi Shu was hugging a huge encyclopedia and checking if what was written on it was right or wrong. Odelia laid in her bed and used the furnace to get heat which masking Zhi Shu read for her. When Zhi Shu grumbled about why she couldn"t look at it herself, Odelia said she was lazy.
"Huala!"
The door opened and I brought the two beautiful girls out. Zhi Shu closed the book and Mei"er automatically broke the seal and appeared in front of Zhi Shu. She pounced into her arms and called her mom. Naturally, Zhi Shu loved her daughter a lot.
"Ah, you are here?" Frost"s serious and solemn face was now filled with joy. She placed an arrow down and asked, "How was the conquest? I only got a few reports."
I pushed my chest forwards and smiled confidently, "With me there of course things went right. The 100 over islands were conquered. Their rules were either killed or captured. I have burnt all the contracts and handed the commoner"s land to farm. 30% of their grain will be handed over. Apart from that, commoners are organised to raise animals and craft items. These resources will be shipped over to Dragon City and in the future, you won"t have to worry about Dragon City"s resources."
Frost was really delighted and she hugged me, "Great, great..."
"Cough cough." On the side, both Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue coughed. I felt a little awkward.
Fortunately, Frost regained her aura as the Dragon City head and smiled, "Thank you for contributing to Dragon City. Come, this is your reward!"
"Ding!"
System notification: Congratulations, you have completed SSS Grade quest Island Conquest, obtained rewards: Level +3, Charm +85, Gold +20000!
...
I actually leveled three times, these few days weren"t a waste!
Now I was level 217. I heard that the cap was 255 so I wasn"t too far away?
The two girls were a little unhappy. Dong Cheng Yue looked at me in shock, "Why did Xiao Yao get Level +3, Charm +85 while mine is level +2, Charm +40? So unfair..."
Lin Wan Er laughed, "Me too, level +2, Charm +45, the gap is so huge..."
I touched my nose, "Maybe because I was the commander? Also... Royal Army"s contribution is also considered mine? Moreover, I rode Mei"er in to kill people while you two were drinking coconuts on Weishan Island!"
The two girl"s faces flushed red. They worked quite hard the first few days but after that they were just focused on enjoying life.
...
Lin Wan Er reminded me to talk about the mounts.
I turned around and looked at my teacher, "Frost, can we get more mounts? Does the situation allow it?"
"Sure."
Frost nodded and then said, "But Odelia, Zhi Shu and I have robbed the wild dragon territory of everything and there were only a few eggs. The high grade eggs were hatched by us and became the mounts of our dragonriders. The rest are just some low tier eggs like Green Dragon, Wind Dragon, Gra.s.s-eating Dragons etc."
I balanced things. Even green dragons would be much better than our current mounts, "Then let"s head over to rob them again. My brothers need some mounts."
"Ah?" She opened her mouth, "You brothers?"
I coughed, "Right, a bunch of adventurers."
"This..." She looked as if things were tough, "Your body has been bathed with G.o.d power and it can withstand the power of the life and death contract. The others might not be able to do so. If they want to become dragon riders, they need to pay a price."
"oh, what price?"
"Firstly, they need to be loyal to Dragon City and never betray Dragon City." She thought about it and said, "Dragon City can"t randomly provide the eggs that we spend so much effort to get. Only adventurers that have huge contributions to Dragon City can get the mounts. Zhi Shu and I will decide, is that okay?"
Li Mu, Old K etc had joined the Dragon City army system so their merit points were up ahead so things would be fine. As for being loyal to Dragon City, that was a definite thing. My brothers definitely wouldn"t betray Dragon City, that was not possible.
So I nodded, "En, no problem!"
Frost smiled, "Okay. Once we get eggs, I will send out a notification. The top adventurer will be given the t.i.tle of Dragon rider and obtain a mount. How is that?"
"OK!"
I nodded and then pointed at Zhan Long"s mark, "Take a look, only people with this mark can obtain the mount okay?"
Frost smiled with deep meaning, "You really think things through..."
"Ha."
