Chapter 450: Duke Augustus

The Dragon Forest is a forest that grows on rugged hills, the terrain is extremely complex, and the perennial low temperature makes it unsuitable for ordinary people, and most of the area is inaccessible.

But in the middle of the forest, a north-south passage was carved out many years ago, called the Dragon Scale Avenue.

It is also the only road that can cross the forest and is relatively safe.

Walking from the northern part of the Duchy of Lauberdir into the Dragonscale Avenue, the further north you go, the terrain gradually decreases, and the temperature is relatively warmer.

The trees on both sides of the avenue are high and dense, and from time to time there is the roar of wild beasts, many of which are dangerous monsters and monsters.

Today, the dragon forest finally appeared again.

Aegon , Galadros and Sindara, the three-headed dragon soared above the forest, and the beasts of the forest felt the horror of the dragon for the first time in a long time, and everywhere they went, the birds and beasts scurried around like headless flies, letting out fearful cries.

Some of the beasts also collapsed to the ground, shivering, looking through the cracks in the shade of the trees at the lord of the sky.

However, the dragon did not land to feast on it, and flew overhead in an instant.

Soon after, more voices came.

Many beasts are hiding in the dark and observing the dragon scale avenue, according to previous experience, this is a good opportunity to hunt for food, but there are more and more humans in the field of vision, everyone exudes a strong aura, so many humans gather to act, the instinct of the beasts makes them turn their heads and run, far away.

Wren rode a bronze Pegasus and ran on the ground with the Spearwing Knights.

The Voice of Everything heard movement in the depths of the forest, only the fleeing of wild beasts, and no enemies in ambush, so he withdrew his gaze.

An army of 12,000 people had no end in sight on the Dragon Scale Avenue.

In the middle of the line was Emilys, who rode on a handsome dragon-blooded warhorse, tightly protected by the scaly guards, and her beautiful face was full of spirit, and her gestures exuded majesty and nobility.

"She's becoming more and more like a true queen. Wren said in his heart.

Emily noticed his gaze and turned her head, and the two looked at each other for a moment, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

Wren also nodded slightly.

The Dragonborn army marches at a fast pace.

The dragon found its way ahead, and the Ultramarines rode the fire dragon on either side of the army, patrolling the forest at all times, keeping their eyes on the alert, and the expected raids and ambushes did not occur, not even a single enemy was detected, and nothing happened along the way.

In just half a day, the Dragonborn army passed through the Dragonscale Avenue safely.

Coming out of the Dragon Forest, the field of vision suddenly became extremely wide, the terrain was flat, and you could see dozens of miles away at a glance, and the climate became warmer.

"The territory of Zogenburg has arrived!"

Wren heard Valrogan beside Emily whisper.

His expression was a little excited, as if he had returned to his hometown after a long absence, and Astan, who had followed Emilys for many years, also had faintly red eyes, which showed that his mood was not calm.

Emily looked at the land, her chest heaving slightly, and she didn't speak for a long time.

Wren could understand their feelings.

It has been more than forty years since the fall of the Zogenburg Dynasty, and the former family domain is no longer called the Duchy of Drogonburg, and most of the lord families that used to be loyal have also disappeared. After Mark usurped the throne, he abolished the title of the Duchy of Zogenburg and re-canonized the lordship, calling this territory the royal domain, which means the king's domain.

The Crown is the smallest of the Seven Duchy of Congatro, but thanks to the erosion of two rivers, the land is the most fertile, and the terrain is flat, and there is not even a hill that is a fraction of a second high. In addition, the Dragon's Tooth Bay, which is formed by the sea to the east and the mouth of the river, is second only to the trading port of Balosk City, and is only frozen in winter throughout the year.

The most inhabitable land in the entire kingdom is the royal domain.

With its smallest size, it feeds the largest number of people, totaling more than 13 million people, or a third of the total population of the kingdom!

In stark contrast to the royal realm, the Duchy of Brandon is the largest, more than a quarter of the kingdom, but the temperature is the coldest, most of it is in the tundra, and the population of the Duchy is also the smallest, less than three million.

The two principalities were one in the north and the other in the middle of the kingdom.

There has been a saying in Congartro for thousands of years that whoever conquers the Duchy of Castle Drogon will choke the kingdom.

Now, the Dragonborn Restoration is just one crucial step away!

Defeat the royal capital Kingsland, control the royal realm, and the remaining two principalities of Etis and Brandon in the north are not to be feared!

After the Dragonborn army rested outside the Dragon Forest for half an hour, and after regaining her strength, Emily led in a loud voice:

"Keep going!"

The road of the king was much wider than the dragon scale avenue in the forest, most of the roads were repaired, and some sections of the road were paved with stone slabs, and the march speed was suddenly a little faster.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a city next to the Dragon Forest appeared in front of them.

"Dragonspine City. ”

The city is built on a hill that stretches out of the forest, from southwest to northeast, not very steep, and the altitude is only a few tens of meters, and from a distance it looks like a dragon's back crawling on the ground, hence the name Dragon's Back City.

Dragon's Back City is the territory of the Felton family, and Viscount Felton has only been granted a fief for forty years, and it was in the usurper war that he made his fortune and made great achievements and was canonized by Marke.

There are not many inhabitants in the city, only 20,000 or 30,000 people.

At this moment, there was a great chaos in the city of Dragon's Back, the residents were panicking and screaming, people were turning on their horses, running and hiding in their homes, the walls were not too high, and the guards were also like great enemies.

The walls are built around the hill where Dragonspine Castle is located, and it is surrounded by a circle at the foot of the mountain.

Wren looked at the highest point of Dragonspine City, where there was a castle.

The Soul Eye narrowed his field of vision, and soon found a middle-aged man in aristocratic dress at the height of the castle, because he was too far away to see his strength, but he was obviously an extraordinary person, and the intelligence collected by Rowagan mentioned that this viscount was a legendary beginner.

Dragons roar in the sky, and Ultramarines hover the sky with fiery dragons.

Viscount Felton's face was filled with despair.

The Dragonborn army trampled over the farmland that had not been around the autumn harvest, and the centaurs rushed to the front, spreading out to both sides, encircling the entire Dragonspine City.

Despite being in a low position and about to attack the city upwards, the momentum of the Dragonborn army completely crushed the enemy, and the guards on the city walls trembled and were so white that they could barely hold their weapons.

The entire Dragonspine City was even more silent, and the battle was about to break out.

Emilys didn't hesitate.

"Attack!"

As soon as her order was given, the gates of Dragonspine City opened.

Viscount Filton walked out of the city, surrounded by several high-ranking transcendent guards. Waving the white flag, he cautiously approached as he shouted, "Your Majesty, the Filton family is willing to serve Your Majesty!"

With his surrender announcement, the guards on the walls also lost their weapons.

The Dragonborn army's assault came to a halt.

The people were waiting for Emilys' orders, and the inhabitants of the city, the guards on the walls, were terrified, waiting for the judgment of fate.

However, Emilys's voice was slow to come.

Viscount Filton had already knelt down, he didn't dare to raise his head, he didn't hear the other party's response, his heart couldn't help but panic, and cold sweat flowed from his forehead.

Wren looked at Emilys, but saw that her face was gloomy.

The Soul Eye saw a hint of red, an emotion of anger and hatred.

"Lord Atans, are you sure it's him?" asked Emily in a low voice. Atans nodded expressionlessly, and Valrogan next to him also gritted his teeth.

Wren understood as soon as he saw the situation.

Most of the noble lords of the current royal domain are the heroes who are currently following Mark's rebellion, and they have personally participated in the war to overthrow the Zogenburg Dynasty, and their hands must be stained with the blood of the Dragonborn, if not the culprit, then they are also Marke's accomplices.

Others can forgive, but these murderers cannot.

"Kill him. ”

"And his family, not a single one is left. ”

Emily finally responded and gave an order, but this order was like a bolt from the blue to the ears of Viscount Felton, and his heart was like falling into the abyss, and he did not react for a while.

"Lord Viscount, run!"

The guards around him shouted in horror, but the screams stopped abruptly.

"Ah......h

In the midst of the gunshots, warm blood splashed on Viscount Felton's face, and he woke up at this time, and fled into Dragonspine City without looking back in a panic, not even caring about his own guards, and yelling: "Close the gates! Shut the gates! Don't let them rush in!"

Before the guards could close the gates, a series of huge fireballs flew in.

Bang!

The sound of a violent explosion spread throughout Dragonspine City, the hot flames burned everything, the city gate collapsed, and more than a dozen guards hid in the flames, and their bones were gone.

Viscount Filton was also blown up by the fireball, but he was a legend, and his resistance was far beyond ordinary people, forcing him to swallow the blood in his mouth and land smoothly, and continued to flee towards his castle. He was to take his family and treasure and escape through the tunnels in the castle.

Fortunately, he had made two preparations in advance and had already called all the family members.

However, before he could run a few steps, a raindrop of gunfire sounded in the sky, and Viscount Filton's desperate escape was still shot, and he felt a sharp pain in his back, and he fell to the street involuntarily.

He looked up and saw that the enemy who had attacked him was a group of tall warriors riding on wyverns.

The soul guns in the hands of these terrible enemies spew flames.

Wherever the muzzle of the gun was pointed, the guards of Dragonspine City fell like wheat harvesting, their bodies torn apart by bullets, and they died on the spot. Some of the fast-reacting guards hid in the house, but they still couldn't escape, the bullets went straight through the roof and walls, and the building collapsed, and the screams of the guards before they died could be heard.

"This ......"

Viscount Felton's eyes widened, he had never seen such an enemy, shooting from the sky from such a distance, how could this be fought?

In this moment, he knew that King Marc was finished!

Boundless regret engulfed Baron Felton's heart, and he lay down on the street, watching feebly as a group of centaurs rushed into Dragon's Back City, the ground shook, and the hard hooves of the horses trampled on, this was the last scene he saw in his eyes.

It took less than ten minutes to capture Dragonspine City.

Viscount Filton's castle is not large, built on the highest point in the city, although the family has dozens of transcendents sworn to resist to the death, but before thousands of troops, these resistances are not much stronger than a blank paper, and they are broken with a single stab, and they are directly overwhelmed by the centaurs.

The relentless slaughter in the castle lasted for a few minutes, and the Filton family was removed from Congatro from thereafter.

When Wren followed Emilys into the castle, he saw more than a dozen noble corpses in the hall, several of them were still young, and their young and immature faces had a look of fear.

But her expression did not change, and after a glance, she looked away, and without saying a word, walked past the corpse, and sat down on the main seat of the hall.

Valogen commanded, "Burn them all." ”

"Yes. ”

The Scaly Guards moved the body out, and flames quickly burst into flames in the clearing outside the castle.

Emilys looked at the blood stains on the ground, and she didn't come back to her senses until Wren reminded her, sat up straight, and said with a relaxed face: "Wren, Dragonspine City will become your territory." ”

"I know. Wren nodded.

The territory of Dragonspine City is close to the Dragon Forest, and there is a secret passage outside the city that has only been opened for a hundred years, leading to the interior of the forest, where is the "Polytosi Mine", one of the largest Mithril mines in the world, and a large number of source crystal ores.

Of course, Yuanjing is known as "heavy silver" in Congartro.

The Felton family canonized in Dragonspine and managed the Mithril Mine for Malk, which was hugely productive and highly profitable, providing Marc with a large amount of money every year.

When Emilys was in Glamorgan, she promised to hand over all the Mithril Mine and her land to Wren.

But her next words surprised Wren.

"In addition to Dragonspine City, Stream City by the sea in the east, and the five territories ceded by the Lauberdir family, I will canonize you. Emilys looked at Wren, her voice was not loud, her tone was calm, and it was obviously well thought out, but the content of her words made everyone present stunned.

Wren was also a little caught off guard.

Needless to say, Dragonspine City is also a viscounty territory to the east of it, both of which border the Dragon Forest, plus the five territories to the north of Lauberdir, which completely encompasses the Dragon Forest, forming a huge territory no less than the Principality of Fisher.

The territory was even larger than the reduced Duchy of Lauberdire, with a larger population and richer land.

This is no longer the county that was promised, but a dukedom!

"Your Majesty!"

Valrogan couldn't help but sigh, Emily hadn't consulted him beforehand, which made him worried.

No matter in which country, the most important thing for lords and nobles is always the territory, and a huge territory with an area sufficient to rank sixth in the kingdom is of immeasurable value, so it is too hasty to canonize it so casually.

If Wren accepts, then Congatro will give birth to an eighth principality.

According to the aristocratic conventions of Congatro, this newly formed duchy was called the "Duchy of Augustus", and Wren was the first "Duke of Augustus"!
