The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

Being preoccupied with chatting and joking with Taishan, Attilan suddenly remembered that he needed Taishan to urgently make ten thousand obsidian spears to arm the barbarians of the North.

Immediately, he smiled and poured Taishan a glass of wine.

"Taishan, we are old friends. Tell me frankly, what level is your obsidian spear production at now?"

Taishan sized Attilan up and down repeatedly, making him feel uneasy.

"I thought something was up when you suddenly invited me to dinner. Just say it, what do you want to use my obsidian weapon crafting skills for?"

Attilan looked at Taishan with a distressed expression.

"You've changed, you've really changed. Our sincere friendship has ultimately faded away with the wind."

"Stop it. If you really have nothing else, I'm leaving."

As he spoke, Taishan took out a handkerchief and wiped the oil stains from Loki's mouth.

"Son, are you full?"

"Yes."

Little Loki nodded and grabbed two honey breads, stuffing them into his pocket.

"Take more. How are two breads enough? The child is still growing. He needs to eat more to grow tall and strong."

Attilan grabbed all the bread on the table and stuffed it into a dimensional pouch, then put the pouch in Loki's arms.

"Take it! Uncle has nothing to give you except for a dimensional pouch I made myself. The space inside is a bit small, but it's definitely enough to hold some toys for a child."

Since the dimensional pouch was brought out, Taishan immediately felt that the matter Attilan wanted him to do would be very troublesome. He had to leave quickly, or he wouldn't be able to escape.

"I suddenly remembered I have something to do at home. I'll leave first."

Taishan picked up Loki and wanted to leave, but when he stretched out his legs, he found that his feet seemed to be stuck to the ground and wouldn't move. He looked down.

"Let go of me!"

Attilan showed a heartbroken expression.

"Faded, faded. Taishan, has the bond between us brothers disappeared just because I secluded myself for a while? All these years, the meat I've treated you to could pile up and bury you, right?"

"Some time ago, I learned some giant agriculture knowledge from a storm giant master. The magical ingredients grown using special energy are helpful for you to temper your body and cultivate into a Life Angel or Life Titan."

"Even if you don't consider yourself, you should at least consider Loki. The child is young, and high-level ingredients will supplement his nutrition, allowing him to improve faster, don't you think?"

Appealing to emotions and enticing with benefits, Attilan didn't believe Taishan wouldn't be moved.

Taishan directly gave him a roll of his eyes.

"Have you forgotten that Jiu Nu is leading everyone in Great Horn Town to work on the magic farmland with giant agriculture that you mentioned? Although I stayed to manage the Druid School, it doesn't mean I don't know anything."

Attilan scratched his head.

"I remember I only said that it was an energy field I developed myself, I didn't say it was related to giant agriculture, right?"

Taishan rolled his eyes even higher.

"Didn't you say that you came up with this energy field after learning from a storm giant, and that you would use this energy field placed on the earth to grow materials? Now, you're bringing up this so-called giant agriculture."

"Can you at least make a draft before you try to fool people next time?"

Attilan smiled calmly, but his expression wasn't awkward at all.

"I'm telling the truth, I'm not lying. The food grown by storm giants using unique energy fields has a considerable promoting effect on the growth of giants, especially storm giants."

"From another perspective, wouldn't that have the same promoting effect on you druids who practice the Titan Giant path? The storm giants also have a body enhancement potion."

"Next time I go to the master's estate, I'll find a way to get the potion's formula. If that doesn't work, I'll take the materials to the master to help refine the magic potion, guaranteeing that you'll successfully transform into a ten-meter-tall giant!"

Taishan wasn't moved at all. The last time Attilan drew him a pie, the result was that he had Loki, a burden, by his side. With Loki, he couldn't even find a girlfriend.

He could live without a girlfriend, but he couldn't be deprived of his right to find one!

"Just say it, what do you want me to do for you with my obsidian forging skills?"

Attilan smiled and waved his hand.

"It's nothing major, I just want to ask how long it would take you to forge ten thousand obsidian spears of ordinary quality. I want to use them to arm some subordinates."

"The service life of the obsidian spears doesn't need to be too long, just make sure they break in half a year to a year. If they get weapons that are too good, it won't be good if they turn around and attack me."

Taishan moved his feet nimbly to avoid being tied up by Attilan's vines again.

Just then, Audreys, who had finished visiting Green Scale Town, returned.

"Attilan, your place is quite interesting. There are flowers and fruit trees everywhere. Although there are also many colorful corals under the Sea of Life, the life aura here is indeed more vibrant."

"It's just that it doesn't quite resemble our ocean dragon style. Don't you have a bit too many druid characteristics?"

Taishan stared blankly at Audreys as she walked into the banquet hall.

Audreys' high charm directly captivated Taishan and his son Loki. Loki said blankly:

"Daddy, this sister is so beautiful."

No, this sister is not to be provoked. Audreys is easy to talk to with Attilan because Attilan is an ocean dragonkin and his talent is no less than hers.

Otherwise, she would treat Attilan as coldly as other dragons.

She treats dragons like that, let alone humans, especially humans who practice the path of the giant. The elemental dragons did not participate in the war between the giants and the dragons.

But the giants will not carefully distinguish what kind of dragon you are. Giants who hate dragons will kill elemental dragons if they encounter them. There are not many elemental dragons in the first place, and if you kill one.

Then the hatred will naturally surge up.

Seeing Taishan and Loki, Audreys frowned.

"Are they your friends? Why does this child have an aura that makes me feel uncomfortable? It doesn't feel like a purebred human."

Attilan asked with some surprise:

"Audreys, you're so young, have you already dealt with giants?"

Audreys shook her head and said:

"I haven't, but my mother's lineage fought with a group of cloud giants, and finally fled to the Water Elemental Plane in a sorry state. That's how she met my father and had me."

"So, this child has giant blood?"

"A little bit, not much."

With Audreys' arrival, Taishan felt that he could finally escape. With such high charm, he would be easily caught. This meant that she was a very powerful ocean dragonkin.

In any case, they weren't someone he could afford to provoke. Ordinary dragons wouldn't befriend humans like Attilan. Even metal dragons were just role-playing and didn't truly consider humans as friends.

Of course, there might be dragons who got too into their roles.

"Since you have guests, I'll take my leave first."

"Then we'll discuss our matter another time."

Seeing Tai Shan's resolute attitude, Attilan couldn't force him to stay.

Pouring a glass of red wine for Audrey, Attilan said with a smile:

"What do you think of my Green Scale Town?"

"In just thirty years, you've managed to build such a well-organized city under the noses of the Bearfolk using conventional methods. You truly have a talent for management."

"I also developed a small town, trading products from the Sea of Life with the northern human kingdoms, but the money I earned was all because I controlled a golden waterway."

"And the quality of the materials produced by the Sea of Life is indeed good, which has little to do with my management skills. On the contrary, you recruit dependents to farm in this kind of place."

"You can actually earn a lot of money, and all your dependents are well-fed. How do you do it?"

"Letting fish grow naturally in the water certainly isn't as fast as raising them in an enclosure, feeding them regularly, and then harvesting the fish meat."

"If you want to feed more dependents, you need to use your brain to think about how to increase food production. Although we are Dragon Lords, we also need to contribute and not just sit back and enjoy the benefits."

Audrey sighed.

"Is there a way to raise a large group of dependents without spending a lot of time and effort?"

Attilan took a sip of wine.

"Ideally, those dependents could support themselves and offer you a lot of treasures, and the size of the tribe would continue to grow, right?"

Audrey nodded repeatedly.

"That's right, that's exactly it."

Attilan said coldly:

"There's no such way. If they can live well without the Dragon Lord's effort, why would they offer you so many treasures?"

"Afraid that there are too many treasures to spend? If you do nothing and still want so much, all you'll get in the end is a dragon-slaying hero. Don't blame your subordinates for being useless then."

"No one will risk the lives of their entire tribe for such a Dragon Lord. Like my dependents, they are willing to rely on me because following me allows them to eat their fill."

"Even if farming is a bit tiring, don't you see them happily going to farm every day? Aren't they very enthusiastic about sending people to help me expand my territory?"

Audrey was very excited.

"Are you going to war! Who are you fighting? Can I go with you?"

Attilan's mouth twitched.

"I'm the one going to war, why are you more excited than me?"

"You don't know, Dad never lets me charge on the eastern battlefield. At most, I release a few spells in the sky, which is no fun at all. Who are you fighting this time? Can you let me charge once?"

Attilan rubbed his forehead.

"No, we elemental dragons are a race skilled in using magic. Why do you have the idea of charging into battle and fighting hand-to-hand?"

A hint of fanaticism flashed in Audrey's eyes.

"What do you know? The smoke of gunpowder and blood on the battlefield can make a dragon feel excited. Only by experiencing the feeling of life disappearing at close range can I feel that I'm still alive."

Attilan frowned. He didn't understand why a proper Dragon Palace princess would have such a perverted idea.

"Audrey, is there something wrong with your thinking? As an ocean dragon who controls life, why do you like killing?"

Attilan didn't understand?

Audrey showed a look of reminiscence.

"That was a long time ago. Maybe it's because I lack a sense of security. Even though I'm in a dangerous battlefield, I feel a sense of comfort and relaxation."

"The whole dragon quickly became excited, smashing humans into a cloud of blood with a tail. You should understand that feeling, right?"

Psychological problems! Definitely psychological problems!

Attilan would never do that, not elegant at all! Can the tail still be used?

As Audrey's newly acquainted close friend, Attilan felt it was necessary to treat Audrey.

"Can you tell me the reason?"

Audrey was just obsessed and didn't speak.

It seemed they weren't close enough to talk about everything.

Soon, Audrey adjusted her expression.

"Let's talk about where you're going to fight. I'll help you strategize. As for the battlefield, I won't go."

Attilan told Audrey his plan directly.

"Arm the Northern barbarians and let them consume the power of the northern nobles of the Northern Kingdom. After the barbarians leave with their gains, your people will kill the remaining nobles and occupy the North."

"When the nobles from the east and west leave the Southern Territory to attack the royal domain and fight fiercely, you will then take the Southern Territory, and even their lairs in the east and west, you plan to take them all."

"You want to destroy the entire Northern Kingdom at once. Can you come up with so many troops?"

He certainly couldn't come up with that many troops at once.

"You don't think this civil war in the Northern Kingdom will end soon, do you? In the early stages, I only have one principle: I'll help whoever is weaker!"

Although the old king was dead, the weaker side was definitely the rebellious Grand Duke.

Because the young prince wasn't muddle-headed. On the contrary, this prince named Sandraco possessed superb combat skills and a demeanor that convinced the royal domain and the nobles.

Compared to his mediocre father, the Northern Kingdom might usher in a second spring in his hands.

This prince, the Grand Duke of the West, had long wanted to get rid of him, sending assassins several times, but the prince killed them all in return.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have given up Trina so easily, allowing the half-goat men to get their wish.

My Goat Prime Minister, why haven't you come back from your wedding!

"So I'll take the North first. My allies won't say anything. In fact, he'll be grateful to me for taking the hardest bone to gnaw. The Northern Territory produces too little grain and has external troubles, so it's not worth much."

"When they fight to the capital, it will be time for me to attack the Southern Territory. At that time, the weaker side will be the prince."

Audrey shook her head and sighed:

"At that time, the losses of the three parties won't be small. If you take the east and west at this time, they probably won't be able to beat your army even if they combine."

"However, your calculations are too much, which doesn't fit the personality of us dragons. According to the dragon's fighting style, we should rely on our strength to smash them all in one go."

"Under the power of our strength, their hearts tremble, and they don't dare to resist at all!"

Attilan secretly rolled his eyes. So your dad has been fighting for a hundred years and still hasn't taken the eastern human and dwarven kingdoms.

Because the northern and southern countries are secretly supporting them. Everyone knows that after the eastern countries are wiped out, it will be their turn.

The Sea of Life is not fighting against the human and dwarf coalition, but against the major kingdoms that occupy half the continent. Believing in power, no wonder he can't manage his territory well.

If it weren't for him, Attilan, the so-called unified front of elemental dragons would probably still be defeated.
