If this place is really a dark area, it would be good.

Caesar thought.

Before, he had been surviving in the gap between the green capital and the northern countries, struggling to survive in the wind and rain, in the wilderness, even if the black dragon had a head full of plans and ideas, it was useless, there was no room for him to exert himself.

Not to mention the barren area, it is a cliché that the races in that place will be taken first by other forces if they are of any use, either driven and enslaved by the green capital, or enveloped by humans, and a young black dragon still wants to stir up some storms.

Not to mention subduing the population to build power, Caesar even wanted to live a nourishing life extremely difficult, just to pocket a stone crow clan took him a lot of thought, and he was very cautious and vigilant in the process.

The result finally improved, and Roy of the northern countries intervened again, making it difficult for the black dragon not to be angry.

But now it's different, in the dark region, he has enough freedom to do whatever he wants, and it is impossible for this place to give birth to a powerful being as close to legend as the Mother of Poison.

"Air."

Caesar sniffled, took a deep breath, and was surprised: "The oxygen content in this place is different from that of Eladia, and the concentration is higher than there. ”

After obtaining the autonomous control unit, the black dragon can perceive every detail of the body's reaction, and can easily discern the difference in the environment.

"The temperature is okay."

Caesar glanced at the scattered gnolls: "But it seems to change almost every moment. ”

Immediately afterward, he flapped his wings and found that gravity was different, and flying here was much more difficult and laborious than in Eladia.

Although the differences between each of these factors are relatively subtle, the combination of these things can be a significant obstacle to foreign organisms.

Caesar keenly noticed that the abilities of the jackals and orcs had decreased by varying degrees.

This is unavoidable even for Gal and Hogg, who are the leaders.

The only one who can not be affected is the freak of the black dragon.

But it's not a big deal, Caesar knows that neither jackals nor orcs are weak species, they are capable of surviving in relatively harsh environments, and now they just need to give them some time to adapt.

"Hogg."

Caesar called out to the leader of the gnolls who kept looking around: "You take the gnolls to investigate, we need information about this strange area, don't go too far, first find out the situation within a thousand meters around." ”

"Focus on searching for water and food, you have to survive first."

If you want to gather power in the dark region, you must first survive and take root in this place, and food and water are the two major problems that any living creature needs to face.

He didn't send the little guy, in the past, when he was in the wilderness, Luna did similar work, she was small and knew some low-level hidden tricks, so she was very good at this task.

But this time is different, the dark area is not reckless, there are too many unknown factors, the little guy's self-protection ability is quite weak, and it is easy to encounter danger.

Caesar did not send the orcs of the Raven clan to go, but chose the newly joined gnolls and let the orcs find a place to rest first.

If you want to say that selfish preference, this is indeed there, but more, the black dragon is still for thoughtful consideration.

The reason for choosing gnolls for missions is that they are relatively agile and do not be as reckless as orcs and kill enemies directly.

The wolf cubs know how to judge the situation, know how to protect themselves, and even choose to retreat or flee when they can't do enough.

Escaping from the battle, which is intolerable to other five-colored dragons, but Caesar does not mind, each race has its own natural characteristics, and the focus is on how to use it, which is conducive to the better performance of the gnoll people's reconnaissance mission.

At this stage, the black dragon wants intelligence, not blood.

For newcomers, understanding the situation in this dark region is the most important thing.

If there were conditions, Caesar even felt the need to understand the specific ecology of the dark land, where the indigenous populations were scattered and fighting on their own? Or is there already a ruler who has established a solid social formation in the shape of a pyramid?

This was very important to Caesar and would affect his subsequent judgment and decision-making.

However, these things will not be rushed for a while, and it will take at least a while to understand the contact with the indigenous population, and Caesar also knows this, but he always can't sink his mind.

If he slowly plans to expand the population by means of Huairou, even if there are no waves in it, it will take at least a few decades, or even longer, when he completely controls this dark region.

In fact, dragons abound in Eladia who sleep for decades, and this time is nothing for dragons, it can be said that it is fleeting.

But for the human race, a few decades is enough time for a baby to grow up, marry a wife and have children, and enough for a young man to enter the twilight and a prime of life into the coffin.

Caesar didn't want to wait for him to come back and kill Eladia, and when he found Roy, he saw a delirious old man who was slaughtered, or even a lonely and silent tombstone.

It was a sorrow for Caesar, and he couldn't accept it, so the black dragon only gave him ten years, and within ten years, he would completely rule this dark land.

Only by violent means.

If he chooses the Huairou plan, in addition to the temptation of interests, Caesar will not be able to find any other way to collect the indigenous races in the dark region, and he will not be able to give the benefits at all.

Even if the creatures of the Dark Regions also coveted the gold coins, the black dragon could not give them away, and his wealth was still buried in the settlement of the previous Stone Crow Clan, which was the balance of the last batch of summer grass drinks Roy, and Caesar did not have time to use it at that time, nor did he have time to take it away.

They can only be tied to their chariots by violent means.

As for possible deception and betrayal, this guy also thought of a solution and decided to do the same, like Roy, and force the other party to swear allegiance to the death.

There is no third way for the vanquished other than surrender and death.

"It won't work."

However, when he mentioned this plan to the fairy of the forest, the little guy shook his head when he heard it: "Caesar, are you a believer in the Mother of Dragons?" I've never heard you say her name. ”

"Tiamat?"

Caesar's mind immediately conjured up the image of the five-headed dragon queen engraved in his basic cognition, and then shook his head: "No. Does it matter? ”

"You shouldn't call her by her real name, and of course it does."

Luna jumped around in his head, "Your previous pact came from the God of Truth and Contract, a true good deity who can construct a pact in the name of this deity even without believing in him. ”

"But the gods are not instruments of mortals, they are watching us in the kingdom of God, and the good gods will not allow them to force others to make oaths by despicable means."

Luna thought for a moment, and then continued: "The five-colored dragon believes in evil gods, but even if you are a fanatic believer and god of the Mother of Evil Dragons, the Dragon Queen will not make so many forced oaths for you, otherwise she will be jointly attacked by other good gods, and the consequences will be very serious." ”

"No—"

The black dragon whispered discontentedly, and the skin on his forehead bone twisted into a ball: "Roy can do it, then why can't I do this?" ”

"What did Roy do?"

Seeing the expression on the black dragon's face, the little guy was curious, she was taken away by Caesar that day, and she didn't know anything about what happened next.

Caesar recounted what had happened, emphasizing that the soldier captured by Gal was neither a knight nor a rank, but an ordinary soldier.

That meant that Roy's entire army had signed an oath of allegiance until death.

"Are you sure?" The little guy furrowed his beautiful eyebrows and repeated the question.

She shouldn't have been suspicious of the black dragon, but what Nell Caesar said was too unbelievable: "No, there is no god willing to make so many oaths for a thousand people." ”

"A god of a powerful evil god? Not at all. Evil gods will never sell their own interests for the sake of believers. ”

"Am I too lonely?"

Luna shook her head and muttered, "Besides, aren't the punishments for breaking the oath all about whipping the soul?" How can it turn directly into pus and extract life? There is no such terrible precedent. ”

"Neither good nor evil gods have ever heard of doing this......"

After a long time of entanglement, the forest goblin finally failed to come up with a result, and was confused by the black dragon, and began to doubt his cognition.
