After a week-long journey at sea, the ships loaded with slaves finally arrived at the West Coast ports of the Blackwing Empire.

The children brought from the central trading city-states would disembark from the ships and live in a camp arranged by the royal court.

Mira failed to find her brother, and when she disembarked, the children were kept in isolation, and she was placed in the same room as other children of similar age, and when she disembarked, she saw a terrifying scene unique in the Middle Trade City-State, with a black dragon like a mountain entrenched on the docks, exactly like what she saw on the ship's flag.

Mila was only fourteen years old, and she had been in the trading city-state for as long as she could remember, and she did not know where she was born or who her parents were, but she knew that she had a brother who depended on her for her life, and who, after registering the black shirt on the ship's board, gave her a sympathetic look and ordered her to be separated from her brother once and for all.

Mira was terrified when she first boarded the ship, these big ships with dragon flags were full of powerful men, with exotic faces that were completely different from those of the people in the middle of the country, all of them carrying sharp knives, and the children who had just boarded the boat looked dazed and huddled together, but were quickly ordered to stand by the adults on board.

Mira remembers very well what the chief-looking lord said, "Slaves of the trading city-states, your gods cannot save you, but I tell you that your fate has changed from now on, thanks to the great dragon king." ”

The King of Dragons?

Mira had never heard of the name, and she didn't know why she was thanking it, but as soon as the leader finished speaking, he had the children taken to the cafeteria on the big ship, and as soon as she entered, Mira was dumbfounded, and on the solid wooden dining table fixed to the floor, there were large pots of bread, sausages, and broth with a strong aroma.

The children immediately stirred up, a delicacy that they could only enjoy in their dreams, and when they actually appeared in front of them, none of them were not thrilled, and the grunts of swallowing saliva rang out one after another, but the strong men on the big ship were no better than the slaves of the trading city-states, and they beat the children who tried to get out of the ranks with a kind of stubby and sturdy short sticks, and the screams were incessant.

The leader ordered them to remain silent for fifteen minutes, without moving for a moment, after which the children who had met the requirements were allowed to line up to receive their food.

Mira was one of the first children to complete the requirements, she was used to the feeling of her life being in the hands of others, and at this time only obedience could make life barely better, and when she sat down on the table with her own food, she couldn't wait to start after finding that no one was restrained, and she didn't care about the hot soup, and she was very inelegant while stuffing bread into her mouth while gulping down the soup.

I hope my brother will be treated the same.

At that time, Mira thought that she had put all the bread in her mouth in case the food was forced, so she began to chew hard, and at the same time had time to observe the surrounding scene, at first her eyes were completely attracted by the food, and then she noticed that there was a huge portrait hanging on the wall facing the door of the cafeteria.

A huge and terrifying black dragon, with its forelimbs clutched at the burning city wall, raised its neck and lowered its head, looking down coldly at the children eating below.

Mira's cheeks moved, blinked, and found that this portrait seemed to be somewhat similar to the flag on the ship, this is the dragon king in the mouth of the previous leader? She stared up at the dragon's massive head, tears unconsciously flowed out, timidity and fear filled her chest, but the warm soup in her stomach gave her a glimmer of hope.

Finding that more and more children were noticing the portraits in the cafeteria, the leader finally exclaimed, "This is the master of the whole north and the one who decides your fate, the Dragon King, Emperor Caesar Targaryen." ”

King of Dragons.

On the dock, Mira looked straight at the huge figure, and like her, many children who had seen the portrait of the black dragon on the boat also opened their mouths and looked up at the target, at first they thought they were listening to the story, but now they saw it with their own eyes and told them that it was true, it was not a dream, there was such a big dragon in the world......

Caesar had brought people to receive the slaves, and at the same time had the children examined at the docks, and he had received Andrei's reply a few days earlier, and the Northland was fully prepared to receive them.

But to be honest, thirty gold for a child slave in the trading city-state is a bit sour-priced, and compared to the Northland itself, the money in the trading city-state has become even less valuable.

There is no standard for the construction of the academy that Eladia can refer to, because there is no similar place on this continent, whether it is a sect or a gang, it is more like a force organization than a place to learn knowledge.

But the absence of a reference standard does not mean that Caesar had no idea where to start, he started from pragmatism, following the example of Napoleon's reform of the education system in his previous life, with the core concept of "providing talents for the court and the army", and established special subjects, after completing the basic subjects, he could study vocational subjects, with a total of six to nine years of study.

There were no requirements for the naming of the colleges, Caesar, and the word college was added directly to the names of the places where the colleges were built, so a series of new colleges and universities such as "Rhine College", "Kashan College", "Faye College" and so on sprung up in the Northland.

……

After settling the academy matters in full swing, Caesar returned to the Imperial Court non-stop, because just now, in the Imperial Arsenal, the first model of the land weapon he requested finally came out.

Standing in front of the black dragon was a small war fortress, covered with thick armor, one or two meters higher than the tight guard wall around the military factory, a long barrel pointed flat ahead, and six small artillery pieces at different angles were arranged around it.

But this is not a war fortress, because it is moving, and the ugly tail that spews white gas in the shape of a locomotive looks particularly striking - this is a steam tank.

Under normal circumstances, it takes at least five to ten years for a country's important military equipment to be put forward from requirements, to R&D and design, to production and testing, and finally to assemble the army, but the Black Wing Empire is driven by Caesar's will to be incredibly efficient, and less than two years after the appearance of the steam furnace, the experimental model of the steam tank has been launched.

This steam tank is 15 meters long, 5 meters wide, 6 meters high, can carry 8 to 10 orcs, the tank is equipped with one main gun and six secondary guns, and the multi-turret design allows its firepower to achieve all-round coverage, which is a veritable weapon of war.

However, it is not very finished, it looks very bloated, the overall structure is full of rough marks of rivet splicing, and although the goblins have camouflaged the surface of the earthy yellow coating, the gaps between the armor blocks and the armor blocks are still very conspicuous.

"You say this thing has been initially successful and can be used in combat?"

Looking at the steam tank that seemed to fall apart if it ran a little hard, Caesar asked hesitantly, and after receiving an affirmative answer from the Red Lotus Goblin, he nodded and said, "Okay, let you operate it." ”

“…… Go find the five-headed canine demon! ”
