Chapter 154: Change (Subscription Requested)
Nero and the dependents who had been sent out had already returned, but in much smaller numbers, and were said to have been hunted down by the protists of the Elven Forest and forced to return early.
After this reply was confirmed by the leader of the dog demons, Caesar recorded the information they had gathered, and then shelved it without follow-up.
After all, in the Black Dragon Lord's plan, the sequence of operations against the Elven Forest will fall behind the Northland Kingdoms, so Caesar will not care too much about the Elven Forest now.
The reason why he ordered a group of dependents to infiltrate in the first place was actually mainly to protect Luna, by the way, and then do a simple intelligence analysis.
They have returned, but Caesar's true heart and soul have been waiting for him: Hogg, who was in charge of capturing the goblins, and Gar, who was in charge of searching for the Minotaur, have not yet returned.
Of course, Luna didn't come back either.
"Huh."
The black dragon snorted, lay down in the mountain of gold nests in the treasure house, turned over, stretched out his tongue and rolled forward, and coiled all the gold coins in front of him into his mouth.
Then, this guy squinted, clicked and took a few bites, swallowed all these shiny good things, and enjoyed the life of rice worms sitting and eating the mountain, so comfortable that the scales of his whole body were warped and opened.
No wonder these dragons like to collect treasure, it is so fragrant.
Caesar snorted as he thought that over time he had become accustomed to devouring metal, and that he had now eaten the treasure as a snack, or even as a staple food.
And this damn black dragon has even researched how to match ingredients, such as gold and iron can have a bitter taste when eaten together, Mithril mixed with a certain amount of copper will make it feel like gnawing spicy strips, and if you directly mix gold and silver and swallow it, it will be like eating white chocolate......
It's delicious anyway.
That's enough! Don't indulge in the days of devouring treasures anymore, and exchange them for greater riches!
The black dragon shook his head in annoyance, made up his mind, and began to walk out, finally grabbed a handful of gold nuggets and stuffed them into his mouth, and then closed the door of the treasure house.
Recently, he has been working to change the ecology of some of the Black Wing's Lair, most of the tribes under the control of the Black Dragon Lord rely on a small amount of hunting and supplies from the dark region for food, but this is not possible, he has been thinking about this hidden danger before.
After thinking about it, before the arrival of the minotaur with the talent of planting, Caesar found another way out, and brought a batch of good quality newborn steel cattle and sheep from the wild boar people as seeds, so that the dependents under his rule changed from hunting to grazing, and the clever dark curtain manticore lion was responsible for carrying out this matter, and the empty and vast wilderness outside the green capital was the best prototype pasture.
Of course, grazing in the wilderness is still in the experimental stage, this is an attempt, the big head is still in the dark area, because now the resources of the wilderness are completely insufficient, due to the hot climate, lack of water sources, every time in the dry season, this place will be a large area of severe drought, it is difficult to provide high-quality and stable nutrient pasture.
But Caesar also had a solution.
Speaking of which, this is still Erha's whimsical proposal, since it is a guard, so the leader of the dragonborn has a chance to hear the order issued by the Black Dragon Lord to the manticore.
After that, it carefully reminded its master: now that the Digger tribe is under the protection of His Majesty, they are not afraid of natural predators, and they can give full play to their racial expertise, and dig out one underground lake after another in the distance from the Blackwing's Nest to the Mangye, which can not only be connected to the Luye River for irrigation, but also store water in the rainy season, and transform the environment of the Mangye area as a whole.
The idea was born after the Dragonborn leader saw them diligently dig a channel from the Green River to the Canopy Fortress, creating a puddle to thrive.
For this reason, the Black Dragon Lord summoned the Digger tribe to inquire about the possibility, and after listening to this instruction, the Digger Leader did not dare to deceive and told the Black Dragon that this plan was indeed feasible.
But it can be seen that the leader of the digging worms himself is extremely reluctant.
Such a project, even for the diggers whose racial talent is to create underground caves, is enormous, and from the beginning to the end, they don't know how many races will die deep underground, turning into dry bones that no one cares about.
The digging worm is not like the jackals, although they also belong to the ranks of the evil tribes, but these guys need to work together in their own abilities, so they have a deep relationship with each other, and as the leader, of course, they don't want to see a large number of ethnic groups die.
It wasn't until the Black Dragon Lord nodded and promised that once the Digger completed the project, he could be directly promoted to the ranks of the Privileged Clan, that these guys came to the momentum, nodded their heads, and immediately began to prepare.
The reason why a promise can make the diggers stumble to the ground is mainly because in the current nest of black wings, the privileges of the privileged clans are gradually refined and clear, and the differentiation from ordinary clans is becoming more and more intense, and the dependents can really feel the difference in class.
For example, since most of the meat is now supplied from the Dark Regions and is distributed by the Gnoll Clan, there will be differences between clans.
Food for the privileged clans is guaranteed to be guaranteed, while in the ordinary clans, except for the Inudemon who is about to be promoted to the privileged clan, the other clans are allocated quite little food, and can only go out hunting harder to supplement their food needs
โโAfter the comprehensive rectification, this is actually quite difficult.
Because the other clans of the Blackwing's nest must not be touched, this is a red line, and if you step on it, it will cause a tortured slaughter for your own clan, and most of the other beasts were killed and eaten during the time when the Blackwing's nest was first built.
In addition, the newly added alien clans such as the Thorny Beasts and Kobolds belong to the real bottom, and they are basically unable to allocate the resources of the Blackwing Lair, but have to accept exploitation (the Gray Centaur tribe has been promoted to the same level as ordinary clans due to their meritorious service in the Battle of the Green Capital).
This is a situation that the Black Dragon Lord has deliberately promoted.
To tell the truth, this kind of high-level differentiation caused serious dissatisfaction among many ordinary clans at the beginning, and for this reason, the hearts of the people in the nest of Black Wings were fluctuating, and violent bloody conflicts broke out.
But in the end, everything was brutally suppressed by Hogg, who was thirsty for blood, armed with a legendary weapon, and took blood as a ring.
This is the monster clan, before they are completely domesticated, they can't do the same rules as humans at all, and turmoil will break out at every turn.
Not only now, but even in the days when the nest of black wings will steadily expand in the future, civil strife and conflicts, large and small, are indispensable, and Caesar has long been accustomed to it.
On the external side, the benefits of the Black Dragon Lord's behind-the-scenes support for the Kaki Territory of the Northland countries have gradually begun to highlight at this time, you must know that in the human world, ninety-nine percent of things can be solved with money, if it can't be solved, first consider whether the money is not enough, and then think about other problems.
It just so happened that Caesar now had money and was willing to spend it.
Therefore, the whole set of business with Blackwing's Nest in charge of paying and Kajiling in charge of recruiting craftsmen went smoothly.
Now, in the hinterland of Kaki Territory, more than hundreds of armor casters have gathered to start creating weapons and armor customized for orcs and gray centaurs, and the first shipment is expected to be delivered after January.
As for the design of the weapons and equipment of the canine demon descendants, the Black Dragon Lord borrowed money from the Blanches family to contact the lonely Black Castle dwarves, and the master of the dwarves was responsible for designing and customizing.
Brande's strange methods, although they were somewhat concealed, still attracted the attention of those who cared, of course, this also had something to do with Caesar's lack of strict requirements in this regard, because he knew that it was only a matter of time before the shapeshifters were exposed.
With the death of all the members of the real Brando family, the group of die-hard troops under their command, sooner or later, someone will find that the restraint is gone, which cannot be covered, of course, those soldiers will not be able to preach anything, the real impact is that once the shapeshifters are injured and die, their natural abilities will be invalid, and they will inevitably reveal their original form.
And now the situation in the northern countries is turbulent, according to the current situation, the great justice of Lane gritted his teeth and fought hard, ready to start the second Rhine civil war at any time, as the "Brando" of the Kaki lord, if he does not want to give up the territory to others, he will have to go to war.
And if you go to the battlefield, you may die, you will be exposed.
Therefore, time is still quite short, Caesar thinks that if he has time and energy to keep it strictly secret, it is better to let the shapeshifters have a certain amount of cover, improve their efficiency as much as possible, and use all the resources that can be used in a short period of time, and tilt into the nest of black wings.
When the time comes, the Black Dragon Lord, who has already tasted the benefits of controlling the human race, will not easily give up this colony and will inevitably join the war.
And once he joins the war, this war will have to turn sour, no longer the Rhine Civil War, but a war between the Nest of Black Wings and the Northlands.
So during this time, Caesar, the black dragon lord, could eat, drink, and relax, but as his dependent, he couldn't stop for a moment.
