"What will I do? First and foremost, I will undo the powerful magical protection that covers the entire city of Silvermoon, and let each inhabitant face the threat from orcs, barbarians, goblins, ogres, trolls, etc., and then lead them to water and forge the soul of the city with blood and fire. Zhang Cheng looked into the other party's eyes and gave an answer without hesitation.

"But that's going to kill a lot of people!" Alasdra frowned subconsciously.

Obviously, she didn't like this iron-blooded style of domination at all.

Zhang Cheng smiled disappreciatively and shrugged his shoulders: "No, this sacrifice is worth it."

At the very least, people will learn how to use their strength to fight and defend their property and right to live.

Look at what has become of the civilians of Silvermoon City under your strong protection now?

They're so weak that they'll only want to ask you for help when they're attacked by a small group of monsters!

I don't deny the contribution of your city, I just feel that you are overprotective.

Know that competition and elimination are eternal laws in nature, and you are trying to eliminate them with the help of powerful forces, at the cost of turning civilians into a flock of weak sheep.

Maybe while you're alive, enemies hiding in the shadows won't act rashly, but once you're missing or dead, guess what will happen to Silvermoon City?

It will quickly decline and even perish under the fierce attacks of the enemy again and again.

And the inhabitants who live here are enslaved by the purest and most brutal violence!

Because they have been protected for too long, they have lost the spirit and strength to resist.

While Silvermoon City has achieved peace and prosperity under your rule, this peace and prosperity is fragile, false, soulless, and built entirely on your great personal strength and prestige.

Your people adore you and crave your selfless help and protection.

But remember, the world is dangerous, so dangerous that even the gods on high can fall.

As a ruler, if he cannot establish an administrative system that can continue to function after his death or resignation, he is not unqualified.

It seems to me that you are such a naïve, naïve, ruler who is immersed in his own beautiful fantasies......"

Without any concealment, Zhang Cheng bluntly punctured the hope that Erastro had struggled for a lifetime in his heart.

There is no doubt that all of this stems from the destruction ** that is in his mind.

After all, destroying a city is far less rewarding than destroying the hopes of others, especially since this person is also the chosen person of the goddess of magic, Erastro Silverhand, known as the Lady of Hope.

Erasdra obviously didn't expect to hear such a coherent and point-to-the-point comment from the mouth of an evil dragon, his face changed slightly, and he retorted without showing weakness: "No! You are wrong! As long as there is hope in people's hearts, Silvermoon City will never be destroyed! Maybe my ideal is indeed a bit naïve, but you don't see how many people have traveled all the way to Silvermoon City because of this childish ideal, just to help me realize it. ”

"Hahahaha! So this is your excuse for not wanting to make progress for hundreds of years and keeping Silvermoon City as it is? Don't defend it anymore, you're not a proper ruler at all, I don't even need a few hundred years, at most ten years to create a miracle that you will never be able to achieve. Zhang Cheng laughed and sarcastically said.

"Ten years?!" Erasdra keenly grasped a key word.

"Yes, it won't be long before I'll take control of Luskan, and you'll see what I mean. After saying these meaningful words, Zhang Chengzhen personally rose into the air, turning into a huge black dragon and slowly disappearing into the clouds.

After watching him fly higher and higher, eventually turning into a black dot, Erasdra finally breathed a sigh of relief, narrowed his eyes and muttered, "It's unbelievable! I've never seen a dragon with such a mature and rational mind......"

As an "old woman" who has lived for nearly six hundred years, she has long seen all kinds of dragons, both good and evil, but most of them can't change their arrogance, even if they enter the mortal world, they will maintain a lofty attitude and look down, where will they have such a deep understanding of politics.

Although she herself was unwilling to admit that there was anything wrong with the current policy implemented by Silvermoon City, the crisis just mentioned did objectively exist.

Especially from the news from foreign adventurers, the number of monsters in the wilderness seems to be increasing, and there is a tendency to gather.

If she was really gone one day, then the remaining spellcasters in Silvermoon City alone would not be able to resist for too long.

"Perhaps...... It's time to unite the surrounding towns to form a stronger federation. Erasdra's eyes sparkled strangely.

She is not an idiot, let alone a fool, her age is long enough for her to see through many things, so she is also very aware of the shortcomings of Silvermoon City, and has long formulated a series of plans to make up for the shortcomings, the most important step of which is to unite all the important towns in the surrounding areas of the Northland to form a unified alliance.

As long as the covenant is concluded, then millions of good people with Silvermoon City as the center will be united, enough to withstand all forms of threats.

Of course, this is not easy to do, and many towns have conflicting interests.

Therefore, she has continued to establish her tall image of being upright, selfless, and unrequited for hundreds of years, and intends to use this deep-rooted personal prestige to adjust the rift between them, at least when there is a dispute, the two sides can sit at the negotiating table to resolve the conflict, instead of raising their arms and fighting each other.

......

With the help of teleportation magic, Erasdra and Katie Brill disappeared in place, and Artemis Ntreili, who had been hiding behind a tree for half a day with the help of an invisibility cloak, finally walked out.

The ace killer glanced at his surroundings before taking a deep breath and sarcastically said, "What a special way you recruited me! If you don't mind, can you tell me what happened to that Luskan sergeant?

"You mean Gildan? nothing, I just used a potion to activate the magical energy hidden in his body. Believe me, if you drink something similar, you will definitely be a hundred times stronger than him. ”

Zhang Cheng, who was supposed to fly away in the form of a dragon, suddenly walked out from behind another big tree.

"Tell me, what do you want?" said Eun Treili's eyes, with deep jealousy.

"I don't know!

You know? My mind is full of all sorts of things that can make most people go crazy in an instant.

In order not to completely go crazy, I had to find something to do for myself, such as controlling and transforming a city, and for example, going toe-to-toe with the big people who claimed to be kind, destroying their so-called "hope" little by little.

To use the lines of a classic character, I'm like a dog running after a wagon, not really thinking about what I want to do or what I want to get, but when I catch up, something really funny happens.

How about joining me and let's have some fun together?"

After saying that, Zhang Cheng stretched out his right hand, and a madness that could not be described in words appeared on his slightly pale face.

Although his mind is very clear and calm at the moment, he knows very well that he has just crossed a certain line, a dangerous one......
