The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

Although he wanted to use Attilan to drag the Bearmen into the mess, the Great Druid was very confident in his plan for the Withered Sect, which he had been planning for over a decade!

"Master, haven't you noticed that those who are harmed by your plans are actually the bottom class of the Northern Kingdom? They don't have the ability to resist risks. When your natural disasters occur, they have no other way to survive except to die."

"But have you ever thought about whether those bottom-level farmers really enjoyed the benefits that came from the destruction of the Northern Kingdom's natural environment?"

Attilan's eyes suddenly became righteous, and he slammed a claw on the ground.

"No! The wealth created by the farmers was taken away by those large and small lords! And you want to take away their last lives. Don't you think it's too cruel!?"

"Has your Withered Sect really struck at the culprits who destroy nature? The destruction caused by large-scale construction of palaces and the felling of forests to create various machines needed for war even exceeds the reclamation of farmland."

"Train them to become warriors who can lead soldiers, barbarians who dare to charge, and shaman priests who can communicate with the four elements and spirits. The most important thing is to teach them the concept of protecting nature."

"And the most, most important point is, never reveal your identity and philosophy as Druids of the Withered Sect. You must make them understand that you are just righteous people who can't stand the oppression of the common people."

"When they have learned something, you can send them down the mountain and let them overthrow the original greedy lords. These new lords who have learned the concept of protecting nature will definitely be better than before."

The master frowned and asked:

"But with the human lords' control over their territories, I don't think that professionals trained for a few years will have a chance to rebel."

Attilan smiled confidently.

"Master, have you forgotten those natural and man-made disasters you prepared? These disasters can break the lords' control over their territories and at the same time arouse the farmers' courage to resist."

"Killing the lord means they have food to eat, and they can survive. Without food, they will die. If they resist the lord, they will die. For the sake of their wives, children, and elders, they will make the right decision."

"Especially when you send them this last sentence, 'Are kings, lords, generals, and ministers born with a silver spoon in their mouths?' Forget it, this sentence is not suitable here."

Attilan felt it was inappropriate, but the Great Druid was repeatedly chewing on it.

"Are kings, lords, generals, and ministers born with a silver spoon in their mouths?"

What Attilan said was, of course, his localized version.

The master's eyes lit up, and he clenched his fist and said:

"No, I think it's very appropriate. It may matter in other races, but humans have no commendable bloodline power. The throne should be occupied by wise people!"

"Especially those who are willing to protect nature!"

Attilan began to promote his ideas at the right time.

"Master, listen to me. Compared to the Withered Sect's current method of balancing nature, I think the concept of 'the way of heaven diminishes what is excessive and supplements what is insufficient' is more suitable for us Druids."

"Whoever has more, we must take away a part of the excess and give it to the area that is insufficient. According to my understanding, the southwestern region is arid and lacks rain, while the water in Dragon Lake is so abundant."

"Although we can't directly transfer water resources through rivers, we, as Druids, must have the determination to overcome difficulties. For example, designing a certain spell to quickly absorb and store the water from the lake and then release it in the form of rain in the southwest."

"I think this is a more important project than balancing the Northern Kingdom!"

The master just smiled awkwardly. The swamp dragons, the largest force on the continent today, are being restricted, but he rarely profits from it. Only the Druids are doing this.

Other forces only felt the pain when the swamp dragons eroded and expanded their territories to their borders. That's why they formed an alliance and went to war with the swamp dragons.

"Master, say something? I am now trying to restore the southwestern wasteland and desert to green land. Since the Withered Sect can easily transform the Northern Kingdom."

"Then the southwestern wasteland shouldn't be any difficulty for the Withered Sect, right?"

Faced with Attilan's pressing questions, the master knocked on his leg and said with a wry smile:

"The problem of the southwestern desert is more complicated than you think. Back then, the Withered Sect flourished after the collapse of the human empire in the north. After discovering that the southwestern region was becoming more arid year by year."

"The Withered Sect sent people to investigate as soon as possible, but the three batches of Druids sent successively fell in the desert. Only the head of the sect realized that the problem was not simple."

"He reported to the Council of Nature as soon as possible, and the council sent three Great Druids to investigate. They finally brought back some news. It turned out that a gnome mage in the gnome underground city in the southwestern dark region had unearthed a treasure."

"Using the treasure unified the entire dark region, but using the treasure also came at a price. Every time the treasure was used, the environment around the dark region would become drier."

"Moreover, the power to activate the treasure seemed to require a lot of fuel. When the fuel in the dark region was insufficient, the gnomes ran to the surface to cut down trees. The weapons they forged and strengthened using the treasure were no match for the surface people."

"The side effects of the treasure caused water evaporation, and the gnomes actively destroyed the natural balance of the surface and underground spaces in the southwestern region, causing the gnome underground city to fall into a water shortage."

"An ambitious person took the opportunity to launch a rebellion, advocating that the treasure should be sealed up and no longer used, so that the residents of the underground city could restore their former stability."

"But after the rebellion succeeded, the people found that they were also just coveting the power of the treasure. In order to prevent later generations from launching rebellions, they used the power of the treasure to create more powerful weapons."

"It also caused the water shortage problem to become more serious. When the Druids entered the dark region, the residents of the underground city, holding the staffs, swords, and armor made by the treasure, fought for a little bit of drinking water."

"The treasure was lost at some point in this process, but no one cared about the treasure anymore. They had already consumed the water in the southwestern region in exchange for endless magic weapons for the entire underground city."

"Compared to the desperadoes who survived the underground city's bloody battles, the Druids sent by the Council of Nature seemed too weak, mainly because their fire weapons were too restrictive to the Druids' wooden weapons."

"As long as they don't give up these weapons with fire power, it is impossible for the southwestern region to restore its former green land. Compared to the swamp dragons who are still a little reasonable."

"The group of lunatics in the southwestern underground city have been distorted. They have split into several forces and are no longer fighting for treasures, resources, status, or power."

"Now they simply like to fight. Their mental will has been completely distorted by the weapons shaped by the treasure. If you provoke them, maybe one day they will find the treasure and build more weapons to conquer the outside world."

Hiss, this kind of dynamite barrel really can't be lit. Let them play their bloody battle game in the underground city.

"Master, if the underground can't be touched, can the surface desert be moved?"

The master shook his head and explained:

"Each use of the weapon will drive the activity of the fire element, causing the underground city to be unable to retain water. The underground is a little better and can retain something, but the surface only has a few oases struggling to survive."

"Most forces have mages who master water creation techniques or magical props. The water created must be used as soon as possible. The water shortage brought about by the treasure is not simply the influence of the fire element."

"There seems to be a higher level of power. The Great Druids who stayed in the desert wanted to study the impact of this treasure on the southwestern region, trying to see through some mysteries to break through to the legendary realm."

Wait a minute, Attilan suddenly realized a very embarrassing problem.

He placed his foundation in the wasteland and planned to transform the wasteland into an oasis, but now you are telling me that there are monsters under the desert that he can't afford to provoke.

The southwest is full of flame war lunatics, the northeast is the swamp dragon force, and the north is the bearman forest.

Then the only direction he can develop is to annex the halfling town and dwarf kingdom in the northwest, and then continue to annex the territory of the Northern Kingdom to the north?

Attilan suddenly had a feeling that the wasteland would become the battlefield for the flame lunatics and the swamp dragons, after all, water and fire are incompatible.

Either find a new land in advance to transfer the foundation, or take the initiative to attack!

Attilan doesn't like being passive!

"Master, do you know what the treasure is? I learned from the gnolls that the treasure seems to have been lost, and the surface forces are frantically searching for it."

"It seems that they also want to get the treasure to build magic weapons. We Druids must not let them achieve their goals."

The master frowned slightly and said seriously:

"This kind of thing is actually not the first time it has happened, but they are all false rumors. The treasure will not leave the dark region to come to the surface. It seems to have a certain autonomous consciousness."

"The dark region has become like this now, and it may have contributed to it."

"Master, what exactly is this treasure that can have such great power?"

"I don't know. Limited information indicates that the treasure is related to the fire element and dragons. It seems to be a red jewel. No Druid knows the detailed information about the treasure."

"It can only be simply described as a treasure."

Hiss, Attilan took a deep breath. Fire, dragon, jewel, these three factors gathered together. Others don't know what this is, but how could he not know.

This looks like an elemental dragon soul!

It is very likely to be the hell dragon soul of the fire system, or the lava dragon soul of the fire-earth system, but the possibility of the hell dragon soul is greater.

Attilan must see it with his own eyes to distinguish which elemental dragon soul it is.

Although he is a water-based ocean dragon, it does not mean that the fire-based hell dragon soul is useless to him.

With the hell dragon soul, the simplest use is that Attilan can disguise himself as a hell dragon!

If someone comes to slay the dragon one day, Attilan will let them see what true cruelty is!
