Volume 7: War and Peace Chapter 20: The Unveiling of Chaos (Cold and Cruel)
Compared to Raphael's ambition, the other lady was in a much worse mood.
The black dragon princess hiding in the cellar of the palace cursed Yu Bin, the damn death knight, through gritted teeth, and poured shadow energy into the pool, and the dragon eggs that she usually regarded as treasures were like eggs placed in bamboo baskets in the vegetable field, piled up in layers in the not too large pool, and the magic water soaked into lilac by the shadow power filled the entire pool, making the entire cellar filled with damp purple mist.
Onexia needs to cultivate a new dragon man as soon as possible, and the black dragon butler who betrayed her killed all the dragonmen she left in the royal city in order to cut off Onexia's back path before leaving, which made the black dragon princess have to take out these hidden high-quality dragon eggs for incubation, and these dragon eggs with purple lines on the surface were originally used by her to breed the Void Dragon.
Nearly an hour later, the purple color in the pool disappeared completely, which meant that the shadow power infused in the water had been completely absorbed by the dragon eggs, and the two dragon men who had just hatched not long ago carefully took these dragon eggs out of the pool, and under the influence of the magic power, they could clearly feel the powerful heartbeat coming from the dragon eggs, which was the evidence that the dragon eggs were full of vitality.
But this did not make Onexia happy at all, but there was a palpable sadness.
Even dragons can't disobey the rules of nature, normal dragon eggs can't have such a strong heartbeat, these magically catalyzed dragon eggs will hatch in just a few hours, and the new dragonman can grow to three meters tall in less than half a day after breaking out of the shell, enough to take a weapon and use it for battle.
But the price of achieving this incredible rate of growth is the lifespan of these dragonmen. Normally born dragonmen generally have a lifespan of about five hundred years, but after being catalyzed by magic like this, the dragonmen who hatch have more powerful power, but their lifespan is less than five years.
In addition, there is not enough time to grow, so that these catalyzed dragons generally have low IQs and can only understand some simple commands.
Thinking that these dragon eggs that had been accumulated with great difficulty had to be forced to become the lowest level of cannon fodder, Onexia's hatred for Bin continued to increase over time, but the previous experience of being pressed to the ground by Yu Bin like a prisoner on the Burning Plains made her have to force these hatreds down again and again.
In fact, Onexia didn't believe what Yu Bin said to her in the cave, as the black dragon princess, even if she was down, it was impossible for her to bow her head to an insignificant reptile, if it wasn't for the safe exit from there, Onexia would never make such a humiliating move, which she regarded as a great shame.
But the immediate priority is to expand his power as soon as possible, and the dragonmen that have been catalyzed can be used to control the entire royal city, and can also be used to deter some ill-intentioned guys. Although Rasfil has been controlled by her with the blood of the black dragon, those surviving nobles are still a potential threat, those guys can't resist the prince's army, and they all choose to avoid it, the huge royal city is used to hide some nobles It's a simple matter, and now Onexia doesn't have the time to find out these guys one by one, in order to avoid being killed by a dagger that comes out of the darkness when he doesn't know when he is, Onexia can only use this method to increase the power in his hands.
"Take good care of these dragon eggs, even if you damage one, I will use your flesh and blood to appease my anger!" Onexia coldly threw down a sentence and turned to walk out of the cellar, the continuous pouring of shadow energy into the pool in the past few days made her feel very tired, and many times she wanted to throw herself into the bed and get a good night's sleep, you know, in order to realize her plan, in the years she had disguised herself as Count Presto, she had hardly slept a good night's sleep, which was even more painful than starvation for the dragon who often slept for years!
But the sense of crisis and urgency still made Onexia endure the sleepiness, she also had to personally check whether the food used to feed the newborn dragons met the requirements, although the power of magic made these dragons born early, but the growth of the flesh still needed enough food to support, and those newborn dragons obviously did not have enough wisdom to complete these tasks, and the noble black dragon princess had to do this kind of thing herself.
It reminded her of a long time ago, when she raised a baby dragon in the Obsidian Temple, the sacred land of the Black Dragon Clan. It's a pity that after the death of the Black Dragon King Nesario, the Black Dragon Clan was completely torn apart, and the Obsidian Temple was abandoned because of this, and no young dragon was born from that place, and the dead Black Dragon could not be buried there, which has to be said to be the sorrow of the entire Black Dragon Clan.
However, sadness is obviously not Onexia's habit, the rise and fall of the Black Dragon Clan has long been something she cares about, but the loss of those Void Dragon Eggs makes Onexia feel even more unacceptable, it is the result that she has spent thousands of years finally cultivating, and now it has become someone else's trophy!
Walking out of the cellar, you will be greeted by a chaotic and dilapidated complex of buildings, the original noble and exquisite palace has long since regained its original appearance after these days of fighting and destruction, everywhere is the marks of the flames and the scars left by the slashing of weapons, Prince Rasfil, who has been controlled by the blood of the black dragon, obviously does not care about turning this palace that symbolizes the glory of the Arnas family into ruins, with those noble private soldiers and some bewitched soldiers, he has initially controlled the entire city of Avias.
Crossing a small river for ornamental purposes and skirting the burnt white garden, Onexia entered the main hall of the palace, where His Majesty Rasfil, the new emperor of the Arnas Empire, sat on a noble throne and looked down on the nobles who were lying in the main hall.
Whether it is the trembling nobles or the guards standing around, they turn a blind eye to the fact that the Count Presto, who should have died a long time ago, walked into the hall as if no one was around, although the city of Avia has been controlled by Rasfil, but the news from the outside world can still be transmitted in, and the fact that the Holy See Holy Lady identified the countess as the black dragon princess has long been known to the nobles present, but what can they do if they know? The fact is that now the lives of these people are in the hands of that beautiful woman.
"My master!" With a solemn and serious face, the moment Onexia stepped into the hall, Rasfil instantly turned into a docile pug, jumped down from the throne, ran to Onexia in three steps and two steps, knelt down humbly, and kissed the leather boots of the black dragon princess, Rasfil, who was corrupted and controlled by the black dragon's blood, had already become a complete puppet, and the will and soul belonging to humans had completely dissipated, and now the one who controlled this body was nothing more than a dragonman with the same name!
Onexia kicked Rasfil away with a look of disgust, and without looking at the once handsome prince, she walked straight to the throne and sat down. For the Black Dragon Princess's act of insulting the empire like this, the nobles present were silent, it was obvious that those who could lie here alive at least knew who had the final say in this royal city now!
"Did I have everything you had ready?"
The cold tone made the nobles shudder, and they once again confirmed that the woman in front of them was no longer the charming and gentle countess she used to be, but a black dragon princess who regarded everything as ants, and there was only one consequence of disobeying her, and that was death! The corpses of the nobles that still hang outside the palace gates are the best proof of this!
Rasfil crawled to Onexia's feet with both hands and feet, and said flatteringly, "All ready, my master!" All the magic crystals stored in this city have been arranged on the nodes of the circle according to your requirements, those rebels have been completely wiped out, all the existence that tries to resist you has been turned into corpses, as long as the circle is activated, they will become your loyal slaves, and contribute every bit of their strength to the birth of a new empire! ”
Several nobles with a clear conscience couldn't help but tremble, because they knew what Rasfil meant! In the past few days of fighting, more than 100,000 civilians of the royal city have been turned into corpses, which accounts for almost one-third of the entire inhabitants of the royal city.
As for the circle that Rasfil is talking about, according to Onexia, it is a circle of undead transformation, and those dead civilians will be transformed into resurrected undead under the influence of the circle, which will be used to defend the royal city and prevent the rebels from taking the capital of the new empire.
Although it is very difficult to accept the transformation of the commoners of the empire into undead, the nobles present are even more reluctant to be thrown into prison as rebels by the great nobles who are trying to avenge His Majesty Irenas as rebels and sent to the execution ground, they are reluctant to give up their status, their own power, their own wealth, their own nobility, and if they want to keep these things, the only hope is to completely wipe out the armies of those great nobles and bring the entire Arnas Empire into their hands.
The response of the entire eleven provinces with troops, coupled with the succession of His Majesty Rassfair as the new emperor, made these nobles feel that the chances of winning this change of power were not small, and in this case, it was obvious that they had taken it for granted that some of the dead commoners should continue to exert their residual heat.
"Excellent! Collect all the food in the whole city and keep it in the palace, those hidden rebels will come out of their own sooner or later without food! I can also use these foods to raise more dragonman soldiers! Onexia said.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!" A nobleman trembled and said, "If this is done, how will the living commoners get food?" Isn't it uniformly distributed from the royal palace? ”
Onexia's eyes flashed with a grim glint: "Those living ants? Hmph, I don't have the energy to care about their life or death now, anyway, I can't starve to death for a few days, wouldn't it be better to have no strength? At least they won't have the strength to resist me with their weapons! ”
"Your Highness! Your Highness! Those civilians are honest people, how can they rebel against you! If there is no food, the whole royal city will be full of dead people in a few days! ”
"Enough! Viscount Moncart, are you questioning your master's orders? Rasfil, the loyal dog, stood up angrily and strode in front of Viscount Moncart, who had just spoken, "The lives of those untouchables are meaningless! The master said, gather all the food, and if anyone dares to resist this order, it is rebellion! ”
Viscount Moncart felt a chill from the bottom of his heart, he raised his head slightly, and found that the black dragon princess sitting on the throne was looking at him with her pair of vertical pupils, and the rich dragon power made the viscount in his fifties break out in a cold sweat: "Yes, yes!" I know! Obey your orders, Your Highness! ”
"Don't worry, Viscount Moncart!" Onexia looked at these nobles who had submitted to her coldly, she knew that there must be many people who had the same worries as Viscount Moncart, if these people acted against her, it would not be possible for her plan to have some flaws, "The lack of food for the civilians is only temporary, the lords of all over the country who have joined the new empire have already set off with their armies, or it won't be long before those rebels will be eliminated, as long as the threat around the royal city is lifted, the teleportation array will naturally reopen, and new food will be brought in immediately!" ”
"Merciful and honorable Highness! Your heart is as wide as the sky! Viscount Moncartel immediately said that since Onexia had already made arrangements, then he would no longer risk his life to speak for those civilians.
Looking at the relieved appearance of the nobles below, Onexia felt more and more that human beings were simply the most useless waste in the world!
Those untouchables? Hehe, how could she waste precious food on those untouchables! As for the lords everywhere, she never pinned her hopes on those guys! What she just said was a lie, it was impossible to destroy those rebels, and it was impossible to bring in new food!
But at least there was one sentence she didn't lie! Those untouchables only need to starve for a few days, because after a few days, the entire royal city will be transformed into a realm of death under the effect of the magic circle, and nearly 400,000 people will become undead!
And the undead don't need food!
An army of 400,000 undead was enough to completely destroy the three provinces around the royal city, and she was looking forward to what the Holy Maiden of Light would do with these undead! If the response is not timely, I am afraid that this number will increase tenfold and hundredfold.
Onexia is suddenly looking forward to that time!
"Humph! Damn Death Knight, don't think I'm going to throw in the towel! ”
