Chapter 249: Dragon Hunter
The top 10 free trade city-states in central China, consisting of Cohor, Elantra and Beon...... and the newly built Aaron and other large cities, the terrain is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if to use accurate and straightforward words, this should be the most prosperous and powerful place in Eladia except for the empire on which the sun never sets.
However, although the Trade Federation lives alone in the center of the continent, in fact, the surrounding geographical environment is not good, death swamps, wild deserts, low-temperature polar plateaus and never-ending fire volcanoes, and there are prohibitive Jedi everywhere, and the Trade Federation lives alone, and the environment is as harsh as a purgatory on the material plane.
However, in the magical world, the harsh natural environment is not an insurmountable adversity, and the people of the city-state have displayed wisdom and strength far beyond imagination, connecting swamps and plateaus, deserts and volcanoes, with a rest station every twenty miles centered on the Trade Federation, serving merchants, nobles, and adventurers.
Deep in the depths of Daze, there is a picturesque area of spring and lush vegetation, which has been transformed by the power of magic, and the trading city-state is home to an important town, the city-state of Kohor, and the surrounding humanoid mixed area of Kohor.
However, in this kind of place, even this miraculous territory requires a lot of cost and time to maintain, and on the edge of the city-state stands one inscription after another, shimmering with the brilliance of elements and spells, and the black enchanted beds and cannons roam the surroundings, and the elemental golems driven by magical cores stand quietly, ready to awaken and burst out with great power.
As the top city-state in the trade confederation, Kohor has more than 200,000 local residents alone, and it is impossible to count the number of people who travel back and forth, in such a major trade and military town, there are more than 30,000 elite troops who are out of production and equipped with enchanted weapons, including the city lord, there are three legendary figures.
With its beautiful scenery, complete infrastructure, entertainment and various commercial activities, the city has in some respects rivaled the most luxurious empire, and has been called the "city of the middle".
In a luxurious mansion in Kohor, Jon Arthur, the FΓΌhrer-appointed consul and lord of the city, is in charge.
As the strongest legendary swordmaster of the ten trading city-states, Jon Arthur was the adopted son of the previous head of state, Enkai Gray, when he was young, and the old head treated him like a biological father, and to this day, Jon Arthur is still called a brother to Tashanmu Gray.
But now, this legendary sword saint, who is nominally the "King of Kohor", but in fact has a lot of influence and expectations, he is deep in thought about two pieces of information in his mansion, and his heroic face is calm, with a cautious seriousness.
Originally, he only thought that the so-called "dragon king" in the north was nothing more than a black dragon that was no more than an old man, so Jon Arthur was ready to carry a sword and go to slaughter the black dragon single-handedly, so as to relax and relax along the way.
But after hearing that the other party was a legend, Jon Arthur raised his vigilance, and he was taught by Enkai Gray that he was not a reckless man, so Jon Arthur did not hesitate to give up halfway, and at the same time paid attention to this matter, sent personnel, and explored the situation of the black dragon in detail.
Eventually, two investigation reports were presented on the mahogany table in front of him.
The results of the investigation showed that it only took a year for the Black Dragon Lord of the North to pocket all the human forces in the entire Northland, although those Northlanders were all scum who were expelled and excluded back then (of course, they are now), but it is not easy to destroy all the resistance of those guys in such a short period of time.
If the Trade Federation does it, without using the legendary force, at least the two cities need to cooperate to attack.
In other words, the black dragon in the north is not only not weak but very strong, not only that, but it must also have a lot of dependents, and it is equally fierce.
It's a bit of a hassle.
A lord dragon that has become a legend is no longer a bone that can be gnawed by conventional force, except for war or the use of higher-level force, otherwise it is not easy to kill such a legendary ancient dragon.
Anyway, it was hard to do it with Jon Arthur's strength alone.
So he gave up.
Not to let go of the black dragon and its scum, Jon Arthur just didn't have the idea of going on an adventure himself.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the mahogany tabletop, paused, stood up and went to the study to take out a crystal and a golden leaf, then crushed the crystal, and set the gold leaf on fire.
In the smoke screen of the burning gold leaf, the silhouette of a group of figures gradually appeared.
"Byfu, long time no see."
Jon Arthur said to the people around the long table drinking, "You've got a business. β
Adhering to the idea that professional things must be handled by professional people, Jon Arthur found Baif, this guy and his people are the hottest and most famous dragon hunters in all of Eladya today, with a total of twelve core members, each of whom is a seasoned legendary adventurer.
In addition, Baifu had three vassals who were dedicated to him and could be drawn and replenished at any time, and each subordinate regiment had more than fifty staff members who served only twelve of them.
The most illustrious achievement of this group of people is that in the island volcano of the Sea of Stars, they besieged the powerful ancient red dragon Aksuye, known as the "Queen", which is now the most active dragon in Eladia, although it is not a lord dragon, but it is also very difficult, making several vassal states of the Sun Never Set Empire anxious.
After a year-long preparation, the dragon hunters who were hired by the Kingdom of Gonor (one of the vassals of the sun never sets) finally caught the red dragon when it attacked and looted again, and carried out a continuous pursuit of it for three days and two nights, and finally locked it in an extinct volcano on a small island in the sea, and finally cut off its head.
It is said that when Aksuya died, an extinct volcano that had been immersed for an unknown number of years miraculously erupted again, and earthquakes continued in the sea.
Afterwards, the news spread throughout Eladya, and the value of Baifu and his team quadrupled, and they were also distinguished from other adventurers, and were called dragon hunters.
"Hey, old man."
Biff and Jon Arthur knew each other very well, and when Jon Arthur was young, he once concealed his identity and went on adventures with them: "It's rare that you still think of me. β
"The mighty dragon has reappeared, and Kohor's majesty has been provoked, and I need you to erase the stain on it."
Jon Arthur stated quietly, then smiled, "Of course, isn't dragon slaying also what you are best at?" β
"I never said that."
Baifu shook his head: "Say, what is the target?" Let's talk about it first, let's not take the red dragon, Aksuye is already the fourth red dragon we have slaughtered. β
"It's not a red dragon, it's a black dragon."
Jon Arthur squinted, "A legendary ancient black dragon who ruled the Northlands, are you interested?" β
After a pause, he added, "I can provide you with target location, target intelligence, and other support, you just need to slay the dragon." β
"We don't need your intelligence, we only trust our own eyes and judgment."
Baifu smacked his lips, took out the map from his arms and looked at it: "The Northland Kingdoms...... In this. This is too far, and the other party is still a lord dragon, which is not necessarily easier to do than Aksuya. β
"What, you're scared?" Jon Arthur snapped.
He stared at Jon Arthur, King of Kohor, for a long time before he said, "Gotta add money." β
"Okay."
