The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

Old Blind Eye lowered his head respectfully.

"I understand. I will fully utilize the power of those warriors to exhaust the defensive forces left behind by the Northland Guardian as much as possible."

If these warriors Old Blind Eye spoke of were used well, they should be able to wear down the elite soldiers left behind by the Northland Guardian to defend the territory.

Although the Northland Guardian chose to go south to help Prince Sandraco, he only brought less than half of the Northland's elite soldiers. Moreover, there were some nobles in the Northland who outwardly obeyed but inwardly disobeyed the Guardian.

The opportunity to occupy the Northland was divided into three steps: first, weaken the power of the nobles and soldiers loyal to the Northland Guardian; second, after the Westland and Eastland Guardians launched their rebellion plans, incite the rebellious hearts of the Northland nobles.

The third step, of course, was to occupy the Northland, which had little defensive strength left, and rescue the suffering people of the Northland, who were being wildly exploited by the nobles.

Attilan would leave enough food for the common people to eat their fill.

"Before, we used the extra grain to recruit some people who were willing to farm, but more tribes, accustomed to obtaining survival resources through plunder, even had the idea of plundering the grain we offered."

"Fortunately, the troops I brought were relatively strong. Sharp iron armor and iron weapons also greatly helped to improve combat effectiveness. After we defeated an attacking force of a thousand people with five hundred, those barbarian tribes were willing to trade with us politely."

"More than fifty thousand barbarians inhabit the western grasslands. If the Dragon Lord needs it, I can also try to communicate with the central grasslands, although the central-northern part of the continent is mostly occupied by the elves' Frostwood Forest."

"However, because the elves' various arrangements for the land nourish the magical power in the center, the barbarians there can even use the rivers flowing out of the forest to farm and graze."

"Their strength is actually the strongest. According to the Dragon Lord, the population density of the barbarians in the central grasslands is the highest, and they even fight for the dominant power in that area of the continent."

"The barbarians and those human countries go to war every once in a while, a bit like the dwarves and frost giants in our north, except that the dwarves and frost giants have now reconciled."

"Dragon Lord, can we also annex the dwarf kingdom and the frost giant tribe, these two forces?"

Attilan smiled and stroked the obsidian short spear in his hand.

"Have you forgotten how we plan to gain control of the dwarf kingdom?"

A light flashed in Old Blind Eye's eyes.

"Dragon Lord, that dwarf, Silver Ring, still can't master the Descent of the Gods. Three years have passed, and his progress is still not enough. Launching the Descent of the Gods still requires a special ritual to assist him."

"What qualifications does such a guy have to compete for the Dwarf King? Perhaps, we should change our support target. That dwarf princess that you plan to have Silver Ring marry, I think she's not bad."

"According to the information I've gathered, the Dwarf King has a total of three children: the eldest princess, the second princess, and the third prince. Although the third prince is a little younger, his talent seems to be a little stronger than the eldest princess."

"With the third prince around, it won't be easy for the eldest princess to take over the throne. Dwarves are so stubborn. If there is a male heir to choose, they won't consider a woman."

Attilan gently threw the short spear in his hand.

"Continue to advance my plan. Silver Ring is, after all, one of our own. It is more in our interest for him to take the Dwarf King's throne. First, promote his marriage with the eldest princess."

"After the eldest princess has no hope, she will naturally agree to let Silver Ring be king. As for Silver Ring's unsuccessful cultivation of the Descent of the Gods, I believe that after this Bloomspring Festival, there will be some improvement."

Old Blind Eye was somewhat touched.

"Bloomspring Festival? Can it improve talent?"

"If you are willing, you can stay and wait for the Bloomspring Festival to end before setting off. With your speed, it won't take you two days to catch up with the team transporting the obsidian spear."

After thinking about it seriously, Old Blind Eye shook his head.

"I am already very old. Even if I improve a little bit of talent, it won't help me much. It is more important to complete the task assigned by the Dragon Lord."

"Moreover, in order to reassure the Grand Duke, I think we still have to send someone to intercept the Northland Guardian heading south, even if it's just for show."

"I plan to ambush the Northland Guardian with five hundred horse archers, at least to consume some of the soldiers brought by the Northland Guardian, so that the Grand Duke knows that we have worked hard."

"Moreover, with the weakening of the Northland Guardian's power, the Grand Duke will be able to raise troops more boldly."

Attilan touched his smooth chin and said with a smile:

"Then I have to add more fuel to the fire for the Grand Duke and make him stronger. Old Fishman, collect a batch of high-quality ingredients. I'm going to visit the Dwarf King in the Dwarf King City."

He wanted to turn Prince Sandraco of the Northland Kingdom into Emperor Chongzhen, Grand Duke of the Westland into Li Zicheng, and he would play the role of Dorgon entering the Pass.

"By the way, Old Blind Eye, when you go north, send a few people to the Fairy Forest to see what's going on with Mei Pu. Why hasn't my Prime Minister returned after getting married?"

"It's been so long. The affairs of the kingdom still need him to coordinate. Tell him to come back to me quickly. If he doesn't want to do it, there are plenty of people who want to do it. There's more than just him who is capable of being a Prime Minister."

There was indeed another person with a big picture and capable of serving as Prime Minister.

But she was not very old, and her mother most likely would not want her to touch power.

As for the student council president in the school, that is a voluntary position, which represents more responsibility than power, and can allow Hana to get more positive emotional feedback.

Attilan even felt that if Hana could go from student council president to dean of students in the Druid School, her Death Angel should be catalyzed into a Justice Angel by the students' admiration.

Although the kingdom established by Attilan has less exploitation and filth than other kingdoms, power is very serious in alienating people.

Even though Attilan repeatedly emphasized not to engage in those empty formalities and flattery, he couldn't stop the people below from wanting to improve, which is why so many "smart people" gave up being good priests and chose to be magical chefs in Greenscale Town.

Old Blind Eye is so old, yet he still diligently completes the tasks assigned by Attilan. In addition to paving the way for his descendants, he also hopes to gain power from Attilan.

Old Blind Eye used to manage only two or three thousand soldiers, but now he not only manages more than ten thousand soldiers, but he can also mobilize some of the warriors of other races under Attilan's command.

The feeling of commanding ten thousand elite soldiers made Old Blind Eye unable to stop. This was ten thousand people with combat power, equipment, training, and logistical support.

Old Blind Eye had once commanded three thousand cavalry knights under Sersis, but he was confident that he could lead Attilan's five hundred cavalry knights to crush those three thousand.

Although there used to be three thousand people, they could only exert less than half of their power at most.

But after Attilan's group charge training, that is, the riding wall charge, five hundred cavalry knights charging up are more lethal than the three thousand warriors Old Blind Eye once commanded.

It was precisely because he understood the difference and gap between soldiers and warriors that Old Blind Eye knew why Attilan looked down on warriors who didn't use their brains.

That group of undisciplined guys had already formed their own fighting habits, and it was difficult to integrate into the Dragon Legion's fighting collective. At the same time, their random actions on the battlefield would also affect other troops.

The most intolerable thing on the battlefield is an uncontrollable army.

Regarding this operation to capture the Northern Kingdom, Old Blind Eye's enthusiasm was even higher. He wanted the position of Prime Minister that Mepp had vacated!

When Attilan doesn't issue orders, the Prime Minister can command these more than sixty thousand subjects within the system, and can even allow the Prime Minister to make erroneous decisions to a certain extent.

Old Blind Eye wanted the position of Prime Minister, second only to one person, above ten thousand!

Who wouldn't be tempted!

Moreover, their King is one who would not be afraid of the existence of the Prime Minister. Many human emperors would worry that the Prime Minister's power would be too great, with the risk of usurping the throne.

But facing Attilan, this Dragon Lord, usurping his throne is not an easy task.

Most importantly, the Atlantis Kingdom will soon be operating with two systems. With the students of the Druid School, a department can be formed to guide thought and treat physical ailments.

As long as the food, army, and ideology are all in Attilan's hands, it is almost impossible to rebel against him!

Moreover, talents from towns and forests will be cross-introduced into each other's departments.

Attilan is now plotting for rebellions to occur within one country after another. He naturally has to be vigilant about traitors appearing in his kingdom. It is precisely because of his internal review system that those rebellions that occurred during his slumber were so easily quelled.

The Ranger Intelligence Unit that he personally established has played a huge role.

This intelligence department, composed of Fishmen, Snakemen, Lizardmen, and Kobolds, is like the Embroidered Uniform Guard, not only gathering intelligence from enemy countries but also monitoring internal intelligence.

Because they are rangers, there are no large Minotaurs or Centaurs, which also leads to these two races having the most rebellions.

The two small Fishmen that Attilan once trained have now become excellent Ranger leaders. Fizz and Anz are currently racking their brains, wondering how to train Minotaur and Centaur rangers well.

So that they can perform infiltration and reconnaissance missions.

Attilan felt that only some small rebellions had occurred, and the Old Fishman's stability maintenance work was already very good, but Fizz felt it was not enough. Before making achievements to make up for their mistakes, they had no face to see the Dragon Lord.

Attilan had slept for two and a half years, and had completely forgotten about this Ranger Intelligence Department that he had established, which integrated reconnaissance and assassination.

In his impression, Fizz and Anz were still two tiny little Fishmen, so the Fishmen were not present at the last convocation of supervisors from various regions.

Originally, Fizz and Anz could still sit still, but Attilan actually entrusted the two matters of assassinating the Northern Guardian and finding the Half-Goatman Mepp to the Centaurs, rather than to them, who were more professional.

They immediately couldn't sit still any longer, and finally rushed over before the Old Fishman slowly delivered the ingredients to Attilan.

"Dragon Lord, let our Shadow Stings execute the tasks of assassinating the Northern Guardian and finding Prime Minister Mepp."

Looking at the two Fishmen in front of him, whose appearances were unfamiliar but whose life auras were very familiar, Attilan asked curiously:

"Who are you?"

One of the Fishmen with agile eyes hurriedly looked at Attilan with a dejected expression.

"Dragon Lord, I am Fizz, the name you personally gave me. Has the Dragon Lord forgotten?"

"Fizz!"

Attilan looked Fizz up and down in surprise, and then looked at the taciturn Fishman next to him, who had been quietly standing aside, making people unable to ignore him.

"Then you are Anz!"

Anz nodded.

"It is I, Dragon Lord. Leave the Northern Guardian to me. I will definitely kill him with my own hands."

Attilan shook his head with a smile.

"The Northern Guardian cannot die yet. If he dies, it is very likely that the Grand Duke will capture the capital in one fell swoop. You must remember that the capital can fall, but the Northern Kingdom's army must be depleted by at least seventy percent in this battle for the throne."

"Only in this way can we devour the entire Northern Kingdom with little loss, and we don't have to worry about indigestion. My appetite is very large, but I am impatient, and I don't have time to eat the Northern Kingdom bite by bite."

"The task of finding Mepp can be entrusted to you. By the way, find a way to introduce a group of outstanding Elven talents from the Fairy Forest. The forest needs more vitality."

"The existence of the Little Fairies is very helpful to the growth of the Druids, especially the Spring Bloom Festival. If a group of Fairies participate in the ceremony, I think it will definitely make the children have a memorable experience."

Patting Fizz and Anz on the shoulders, Attilan said with satisfaction:

"Not bad, you haven't wasted these past few years, and you are already excellent Rangers, but you are still a bit short of assassinating the Northern Guardian."

"Even your master, Trina, failed to assassinate the Prince, let alone his master, the Northern Guardian. Do you think your ranger abilities have surpassed Trina?"

Fizz really wanted to quibble, but in the end, he lowered his head.

"No."

"Go and execute the mission."

Attilan also brought the ingredients to the new capital of the Dwarves.

Due to strategic considerations, the Dwarf King followed Attilan's suggestion to move the capital to a city closest to Water Cell Town, because Water Cell Town had a southwest river tributary that turned near the town.

This is a tributary that is not inferior to the mainstream. It is more convenient to transport goods from the Southern Water Elf Kingdom by water. With food, the Dwarf King can also better suppress the Dwarf City Lords under his rule.

After seeing the Dwarf Queen, Attilan repeatedly apologized. He had not handled the Frost Giant matter well.

But the Dwarf King excitedly held his hand and said:

"The Dragon Lord handled it very well. Those Frost Giants who were against us have basically all been wiped out. Now, a brand new group of giants is active on the Northern Ice Plateau."

"It is all thanks to the Dragon Lord that this group of giants came. I heard that their leader saw the Dragon Lord fighting against the original Frost Giants, and decided to clear out those barbaric Frost Giants."

"Our Dwarf Kingdom has finally emerged from the long Giant War. In the future, everyone can drink and forge iron with peace of mind. This is all thanks to the Dragon Lord. In the future, if the Dragon Lord has anything to do, our Dwarves will definitely support you with all our strength!"

Attilan's mouth twitched. While he was cultivating, what exactly did the Storm Giants arrange for someone to tell the Dwarf King?
