Chapter 369: Hidden Dangers
"Hoo."
Luna sat on a small dragon and passed in front of Caesar's eyes, followed by a large group of chirping young dragons, the bored black dragon wagged its tail to watch the scene, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then gradually frowned.
According to the laws of the basic structure of the biosphere, the demand for food and resources of the apex predators is huge, and waiting for these little creatures to grow bigger and bigger, it will become a big problem to provide their daily needs, although this problem does not seem to be a big deal for a prosperous empire, but you must know that the royal court is now overstretched, and the daily expenses are supported by Caesar's treasure trove.
This is only the first batch of experimental dragon eggs, if nothing else, there will be at least sixty such dragons in his empire in the future, and when all fifty dragons grow up, the daily consumption will be an astronomical amount - these black king bloodlines born through radiation distortion have an unimaginably short growth and development cycle, but the amount of food is also several times that of young dragons of the same age.
To solve this series of problems, according to the half-lich Wren said, conquest and plunder are the most direct and effective methods, but Caesar has no idea of expanding for the time being, unlike the ordinary ferocious and brutal five-colored dragon, Caesar does not have the so-called desire to kill and war, and at the same time, Eladia currently has no country that has a grudge against the Black Wing Empire, and his enemies are in the astral plane.
"Caesar."
Just as Caesar was thinking, Cardoze walked into the royal court, although he had already expressed his allegiance to the black dragon, but it was really difficult for the arrogant ancient red dragon to call a black dragon His Majesty, so he retained the title of the Black Dragon Emperor, of course, Caesar did not need to show his self-esteem and majesty through these details, so he acquiesced to his actions.
"These kids ......"
Cardoze looked at the young dragons who were running out of the royal court with Hula by Luna, and said with a little hesitation, "They call you ...... Father? ”
"Hmm." Caesar nodded.
"Although I don't know how you have turned these newborns into weapons of war that are desperately loyal to you, please remind me that because of your past actions, existence will inevitably be exposed to the whole world, and those powerful creatures and gods will scrutinize your every move."
"I know."
"But what you don't know is ......"
"Eladia was not ruled by dragons in the prehistoric era, but in the oldest days, the world's natives, a group of elven creatures called 'Queldore', ruled over the continent, and when the dragons entered the world, they had developed a brilliant civilization of wizards and shamans. ”
"A war broke out between native and alien species, but to their surprise, the true dragons from the Outlands were outnumbered by the native creatures, and the Queldores killed the dragon forerunner Korsadov, hunting down and imprisoning all remaining dragons. The clash of civilizations brought Queldore's development to its peak, and at this time, Queldore began to study powerful creatures from the outside world and tried to enslave the true dragon...... They did, but they also touched the taboo. ”
"Queldore is truly a terrifying race, not only have they pioneered the sorcery that enslaves adult dragons, but they even have the ability to modify the dragon lineage written by the dragon god, so that the newborn young dragons will be used by them from the beginning until they die. But their arrogance and ignorance drew the wrath of the dragon gods, and like all races that play with fire and set themselves on fire, it is rare for the Mother of the Evil Dragon and the King of the Good Dragons to kill a race at the same time, and in the end, the furious five-headed dragon queen and the roaring platinum dragon god work together to destroy the world. ”
"Then the First Age of Eladia began, more dragons entered the plane, and the five-colored dragons and metal dragons reshaped civilization in the wasteland after the destruction of the world, opening up a long dispute."
Cardozer recounts a history that has been left unavailable for Eladia due to the passage of time, and which is not part of the dragon lineage, but Caesar believed it did exist and happened - and in this matter, the red dragon had no need to lie to himself.
"Alright."
Caesar nodded nonchalantly: "I see what you mean." ”
Cardoze stared at the expression on the black dragon's face for a while, and then continued: "It seems that you don't plan to stop, I guess, what you think should be: anyway, now that you and the five-headed dragon queen are mortal enemies, it will not matter if you offend the slightest bit of ruthlessness, and then you only need to avoid the metal dragon and pick the dragon egg of the five-colored evil dragon, and this plan can continue...... It doesn't work. ”
"Although the platinum dragon god and the five-headed dragon queen are incompatible, but the two dragon gods are the children of His Majesty Io after all, although the five-colored dragon and the metal dragon are mortal enemies, but they have a very tacit agreement with each other, you enslave the five-colored dragon by unknown means, and the platinum dragon god will not ignore it. Caesar, stop, your strength is strong enough, you don't need to rely on this way to gain dependents, this is to make enemies for yourself out of thin air, and bring about your own destruction. ”
After Cadoze finished speaking, Caesar thought about it and asked Hogg, Wren and Angramo to be called, and when these core leaders arrived, Caesar told them about the Dragonmaw Clan's plans and talked about the hidden dangers that Cadoze said.
Make enemies out of thin air?
Caesar didn't agree with Cardozer's statement, in fact, he didn't fail to take this layer into account before the Dragonmaw Clan's plan began, but he did it anyway.
Tiamat aside, it is certain that as an allogeneic black dragon, in the eyes of the platinum dragon god, he is an obvious destabilizing factor, and this will not change because he has cooperated with the metal dragon clan. Not to mention that the process of his development is basically on the verge of killing and blood, just to say that on the continent of Eladia, a powerful country ruled by an alien dragon suddenly appeared, and Caesar held the priesthood of the platinum dragon god, and he would also be full of vigilance against this black dragon.
"Your Majesty, do you mean that even if we don't carry out the Dragonthroat Clan plan, the Platinum Dragon God and the Metal Dragon Clan will be our enemies sooner or later?" Wren analyzed.
It is true that the platinum dragon god has the position of "pure goodness" in his priesthood, but it does not mean that this dragon god who has lived for countless years has always been just a good old man who laughs, and the legend of Eladya's "Bahamut's Breath" has been passed down to this day, not without reason.
Caesar firmly believed that unless he offered his faith to Bahamut or gave up building power, the two sides would sooner or later face a break as his power grew, and the metal dragons and the Blackwing Empire had spent a period of "honeymoon period".
Angelamo roared, "Father, even Tiamat has been frustrated by you, and it is impossible for the Metal Dragons not to fear you, and if they want to be enemies of the Empire, they must take into account your strength. ”
"It's different."
Cardozer shook his head, the wisdom and experience brought by his long years allowed him to provide Caesar with a lot of help, so after joining the Blackwing Empire, Gu Long entered the decision-making level at a very fast speed: "Tiamat - since you don't have any worries, I will also call the god by his name." Tiamat is an evil god, and the only power she can wield is the five-colored dragon and some evil people, not to mention fighting alone, and there is intrigue between them, and in the case that she and her descendants cannot do it herself, Tiamat has dropped more than one level to the threat here. ”
He said that he wanted to call the god by name, but Cardoze still cast an isolation spell silently, and after glancing at the Black Dragon Emperor, he continued: "But the King of the Good Dragons is different, the Endless Realm is full of his supporters, friends, and associates, and for those of us who have not yet touched that level, Bahamut's influence is much greater. ”
"Under normal circumstances, this is indeed self-defeating."
Hogg calmly analyzed: "But this is the main material realm, and in the case that the gods cannot personally go to the lower realm, even the platinum dragon god will not be able to have any impact on the empire, and it will only be a war in the end." And the Dragonthroat Clan's plan to supplement the Empire's high-end forces allows us to fear any war. ”
"Alright."
Caesar said: "After all, I have cooperated with the metal dragon clan, the platinum dragon god is also a good god, the empire should not take the initiative to break with it, the dragon throat clan plans to make some modifications, don't touch the real dragon egg for the time being, let the coordinated forces go and select the dragon beast to come back." ”
