The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

When Attilan sensed his original dragon nest, now a pet room, Little Gold was showing his companions the new tricks he had learned from the bear people during this time.

You know what, when Attilan saw the electric eel using the druid's spellcasting skills, he suddenly realized that the bear people hadn't taught him these skills!

Attilan touched his chin. Although the bear people said that the spellcasting skills mastered by the druids were not high-end enough for the elemental dragons, Attilan actually only needed to use the druid's cultivation to better control his dragon body.

The power of the spells he subconsciously manipulated and released with his dragon body was equivalent to the druid's or mage's spellcasting with spell intensification. The innate advantages of a powerful dragon did not require too many fancy skills.

He could choose not to learn, but the bear people couldn't choose not to teach him!

Those spellcasting skills were indeed not very useful, but learning them could actually have a little bit of amplification effect.

But if he spent the time learning these skills on enhancing his basic strength, the combat power transformed would be two or three times stronger.

Audrey Kiss pointed at the golden dragon circling and flying in the air, and said with some excitement:

"Father once said that the Elemental Dragon God referred to the essence spirit dragons in the Eastern world when creating the elemental dragons, and cited the dragon pearl power system of the essence spirit dragons."

"Let us have a dragon pearl, the second energy core, like the essence spirit dragons. Even if we are killed, we can combine our souls with the dragon pearl and breed our own essence spirit dragon body."

"The power of the essence spirit dragon is not as good as the elemental dragon king, but it is not much worse than most elemental dragons. Moreover, if we cooperate with the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique, we can actually transform into elemental dragons again."

"We can even reduce the difficulty of transforming into an elemental dragon king through this rare experience of transforming into an essence spirit dragon. As long as the dragon pearl is still there, we still have hope."

Attilan's mouth twitched. The elemental dragon could obtain a second life through the dragon pearl, not to mention that he could transform into an elemental dragon again. He understood why the Dragon God wanted to destroy the information on the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique.

Once the elemental dragon seized the opportunity to send the dragon pearl away through the elemental world, it would be difficult to find the essence spirit dragon transformed from the elemental dragon. After the transformation was completed, the dragon's aura would completely change.

Even the soul would mutate, and it would be difficult to identify whether it was the elemental dragon that had been besieged.

Attilan once let his soul merge with the dragon pearl in the Emerald Dream and briefly transformed into an essence spirit dragon. If he really died unfortunately, as long as he could send the dragon pearl away, he could quickly absorb the power of the dragon pearl and transform into an essence spirit dragon.

At that time, if he drilled into the sea, everyone would think that he was just an ordinary essence spirit big fish, and would never think that he was once a powerful elemental dragon.

Moreover, he practiced the control of life. As long as the opportunity was right, he could transform into an ocean sub-dragon again, but his dragon pearl level was too poor, and the transformed ocean sub-dragon was estimated to not have such good talent as it is now.

It's really just an ordinary ocean sub-dragon.

If there really is such a day, he should still maintain the identity of the essence spirit dragon and practice for hundreds of years, and then transform back in one fell swoop after his strength is strong enough.

There was a sense of anxiety in the dark, urging Attilan to work hard to enhance his dragon pearl.

Other elemental dragons only start practicing dragon pearls after they reach adulthood. He has already made a name for himself at such a young age. In fact, he is already quite satisfied.

"Audrey Kiss, how is your dragon pearl practice going?"

Audrey Kiss shook her head in disappointment.

"No, although Dad found me a water element pearl that was cultivated by an essence spirit river mussel of life level 10 for five hundred years, and used this pearl as the base to integrate a trace of pure dragon magic power extracted by Dad from the ocean dragon soul."

"I only completed the second transformation of the dragon pearl. Attilan, do you think my talent is a bit too bad?"

Attilan's eyes widened. The second transformation of the dragon pearl is still bad?! Should he, a dragon who hasn't even done the first transformation, commit suicide in shame?

"You electric eel, why don't you let him try to practice dragon pearls? It just so happens that I see that your river mussel has bred a good pearl, which is a good base for dragon pearls."

"After the electric eel has cultivated a qualified lightning dragon pearl, you can take his dragon pearl and merge it into your dragon pearl, which can at least save you ten years of cultivation time."

Attilan shook his head and said with a firm expression:

"I won't do this. If I want to cultivate a dragon pearl that can save me ten years of cultivation time, this dragon pearl must be closely connected with Little Gold's life."

"If I take away the dragon pearl, Little Gold will be seriously injured even if he doesn't die. The whole fish will be useless. Don't even think about flying freely in the sky like now. Even lying in the dragon's nest to rest is torture for him."

Extracting such a dragon pearl is like breaking all the bones in a person's body. That kind of pain will always entangle the electric eel. Since Attilan has regarded the electric eel as his pet, he cannot do this.

Attilan has much more experience than Audrey Kiss in asking people to help refine magic weapons.

"Actually, there is another way. Although the dragon pearl upgrade materials obtained by this method are not as fast as different kinds of dragon pearls, the externally linked dragon pearls containing a large amount of pure energy are not bad either."

Audrey Kiss looked at him with a smile, and then took out a dragon scale from the dimensional bag and handed it to Attilan.

"Is this what you are talking about?"

As soon as Attilan saw the dragon text written on the dragon scale, he knew that Audrey Kiss had just said that on purpose, probably to test whether he was a greedy and quick-tempered dragon.

After he looked at it carefully, he found that the secret technique Audrey Kiss gave him seemed to be more advanced than the knowledge he had obtained from his inherited memory. After he obtained the knowledge, he directly asked the bear people to help him upgrade it.

That was the dragon pearl material extraction method that the bear people, vine women, and old urchins brainstormed. Attilan only needed to polish a pearl or crystal containing water element magic power into the shape of a dragon pearl, and after containing the essence spirit dragon power of the dragon pearl, hand it over to a magic professional to refine it.

After the magic power contained in this dragon pearl magic item reaches the corresponding standard, it can be recycled, and then a new material dragon pearl can be handed over to the subordinates.

For example, the priests and shamans under Attilan have now used wands made of water fir inlaid material dragon pearls containing magic power.

Audrey Kiss's secret technique is similar to Attilan's, but in terms of the effect and loss of refining material dragon pearls, it is much stronger than Attilan's. Moreover, the mages responsible for refining can also get a certain feedback from the material dragon pearls in this process.

That is to say, Audrey Kiss's secret technique has achieved a win-win situation, while Attilan's secret technique can only be regarded as exploiting the labor of his subordinate mages.

"Why do you suddenly want to give me such a good secret technique today?"

Audrey Kiss snorted with a smile.

"You promised me that you would help me win the leadership position of the United Front. Naturally, I have to give you a little sweetness first, so that you don't forget the business and only know how to hang out with a group of human druids all day long."

"And your Atlantis Kingdom, although it is very powerful to start from scratch, your kingdom has such a large area in vain, but it cannot produce many valuable items."

Attilan looked at GreenScale Town behind him.

“This town, covered in flowers that you see, was just a small fishing village with some dilapidated wooden huts five years ago. Now look, doesn't GreenScale Town already have a faint floral magic lingering within it?”

“If I manage it for a few more decades, I believe these flowering fruit trees in GreenScale Town will be able to carry a faint magic that can improve dragons. Even if I can't use it, I can use it to train my army.”

Audrey snorted coldly.

“Is an army that useful? If armies were really useful, Father wouldn't have taken so long to conquer the two kingdoms to the east. In the past, whenever he encountered obstacles, Father would personally take action.”

“With just a flick of his hand, a single bolt of lightning breath could rout the armies of humans, dwarves, or even elves. But the army he recruited has been fighting for decades, and the lake has only advanced fifty kilometers eastward.”

“Tell me, what's the use of such an army?”

Attilan's lips twitched. Through Old Blind Eye and Old Merman, Attilan could see that the Swamp Dragon army's quality was actually quite strong. In a one-on-one fight, his army would be slaughtered.

In a ten-on-ten fight, his army would be crushed. In a hundred-on-hundred fight, his army would flee in disarray. In a thousand-on-thousand fight, his army would collapse completely.

In a ten-thousand-on-ten-thousand fight, his army could barely hold on.

In a fifty-thousand-on-fifty-thousand fight, his army could win by a small margin.

As the saying goes, a useless general dooms the entire army. Clearly, the Swamp Dragon army lacked a marshal capable of commanding the entire force.

The generals who appeared at Audrey's birthday banquet last time had an overly strong air of hostility between them. Even at the birthday banquet, they seemed to be on the verge of drawing swords.

Expecting them to cooperate in fighting the allied forces of humans and dwarves would be a miracle. After all, the dragons were inherently in an invincible position. Even if they lost, they could just retreat back to Dragon Lake.

The allied forces wouldn't dare to pursue them. On the other hand, if the allied forces lost, their entire families would be wiped out.

Just based on conviction alone, the human and dwarf allied forces had already won.

Moreover, the most important thing in war is formation and deployment. A reasonable formation can fully utilize, or even double, the strength of the army.

If the formation is flawed, then perhaps only one-tenth of the power can be utilized.

The battlefield is only so large, which can easily lead to a situation where you hold a great hand of cards but end up losing with just one card.

Attilan clicked his tongue.

“Actually, Your Excellency's army isn't that bad, it's just that the level of those generals is a bit too poor.”

Audrey asked in confusion:

“There's nothing wrong with those generals, is there? They always charge to the front in every battle and kill the most enemies.”

Attilan sighed, shook his head, and rubbed his temples.

“What's the use of being able to fight? The most important thing in war is to bring out the strength of all the soldiers on the battlefield. At most, one or two hundred people can follow your generals when they charge.”

“Aren't they all commanding tens of thousands of troops? Are the remaining soldiers supposed to just watch on the battlefield, or be broken through and slaughtered by the enemy because they lost their general's command?”

“If I were to command, even if I didn't personally take action, the combat power displayed by Your Excellency's army would at least double. I won't say we'll annihilate the allied forces, but we can at least expand the Sea of Life fifty kilometers further east!”

Audrey immediately clapped her hands.

“Then what are we waiting for? Let's go see Father directly and have him hand over command of the army to you. I can't wait to see the human allied forces being slaughtered.”

“Blood, fire, gunpowder, the taste that intoxicates me?”

Attilan was just saying it casually and didn't expect Audrey to take it seriously. How could he forget that Audrey was a hidden war maniac?

“How about another day? I have something I need to…”

As a result, Audrey directly pulled him hard.

“I've already taught you the secret technique for cultivating the Dragon Pearl, and you're not even willing to help me with such a small matter? Huh!”

Attilan forced a smile and said:

“The situation on the battlefield is constantly changing. Even if I take over the army, I need to familiarize myself with Your Excellency's army and the situation of the allied forces before I can send out troops. Rushing into battle will only result in failure.”

“Miss, you must remember that the most important thing in war is patience. In fact, with the foundation of the Sea of Life, we just need to constantly entangle them on the front lines, and then send mermen along the rivers and centaurs to attack the grain-producing areas on the plains.”

“We can drag them down!”

After all, Attilan knew that the allied forces were purchasing grain from the Water Elf Kingdom to the south, and because of his actions, the amount of grain they could purchase from the Water Elf Kingdom would either decrease or the price would increase.

Once the war starts, they definitely won't be able to afford it. After all, Attilan's previous life's history told him that a structured human empire always loses money when fighting nomadic tribes in the northern grasslands.

A few more times, and it can directly bankrupt the human empire.

Of course, the Swamp Dragon's system is indeed more primitive and cruel than the human side, but each war also consumes a lot of resources, and it's actually losing money as well.

But the Swamp Dragon family is big and wealthy and doesn't care about losing this little bit of money.

The wealthy and arrogant Audrey glared directly.

“Even if we lose, I won't blame you. Anyway, as long as we fight a few more times, won't we be able to win? You can send a few soldiers to practice first!”

Attilan was forcibly brought to the Swamp Dragon by Audrey. Being stared at by his golden pupils, Attilan felt his breathing slow down.

“It's been a long time since a marine dragon youth as talented as you has appeared. What a pity, if only I could have a son like you.”

Attilan's heart stirred. Was he hinting at me?

Audrey asked anxiously:

“Dad, can you give us command of the army!”

The Swamp Dragon could only say:

“Alright, alright, but my precious daughter must win a great victory for me.”

Audrey jumped up and down happily.

“Don't worry, we will definitely win!”

“Alright, you go down and rest first. I have some questions I want to discuss with Attilan alone.”

As soon as Audrey left, Cersis narrowed his eyes instantly.

“Why did you instigate Audrey to go to the battlefield?”

Attilan immediately explained:

“No, my original intention was just to tell Audrey that Your Excellency's army is actually very strong and not as weak as she thought. If I were to command it, there would be no problem in defeating the allied forces.”

“I myself am actually full of admiration for Your Excellency. Your Excellency also knows that I am an orphan. If Your Excellency doesn't mind, I am willing to worship Your Excellency as my adoptive father!”
