Chapter Seventy-Three, The New Master of the Argons
The war on Longtou Island has come to an end.
The Lizardmen kingdom – though not yet formally founded – was utterly victorious, while the tribal alliance of orcs, fishes, and argonians suffered a complete defeat. Of the three tribes, the Half-Fish suffered the fewest losses, but they also killed more than three hundred people, including five tribal leaders. The orcs suffered the heaviest losses, including the Grand Chieftain Steelfang, and the top echelons of the tribes were almost completely wiped out, killing more than 1,200 people in the two battlefields of the plains and the town of New Talco combined.
This basically means that for at least five or six years, the most "outgoing" tribes among the half-fishmen will no longer cause problems to the shipping route and the rest of the inhabitants of Longtou Island. The orcs will stay stable for a longer time, and if Yuneru takes the lead in launching some follow-up attacks, he may even completely wipe out the orc tribe on Longtou Island in the foreseeable future, and beat those orcs into vagabonds or mercenaries.
Among the three races, the Argonian situation is the most special. Their losses were also so great that even the Great Chief died. But for most Argonians, the death of relatives and friends certainly makes them a little sad, but compared to another good thing, this sadness is nothing.
The Wurmians of Longtou Island have a master they can serve and follow!
The Argonians are a special ethnic group, and their origins are complex, with all races present. Basically, a servant who has been working for the dragon's master for many years and has been approved by the master may be granted dragon blood. It is a very dangerous thing to swallow the dragon blood that has been granted, and if you can survive by chance, this servant will regain his youth and produce a strong transformation.
It usually takes several years or even more than ten years to complete the entire transformation process, and after the transformation is completed, no matter what race he had before, whether it is a goblin, kobold, or lizardman...... will turn into a wurmoid humanoid monster with dragon blood, that is, a wurmian. Their descendants will retain these traits of transformation, and a new race will be formed.
The Argonian claim to be the dragon's most faithful servant, and have always taken pride in serving the dragon. There are two branches of the Wurm people on Longtou Island, one is the servant of the old rock dragon who lived here a long time ago, and then the old rock dragon is getting older and older, and finally he doesn't know what to do - about finding an unknown place and quietly dying, this Wulong people are guarding the old master's lair, still cleaning every day, worshipping every year, as if the old master is still in general.
Until they meet another group of Argonians, the servants of the White Dragon Dorenokars.
Faced with the sudden appearance of the white dragon, the descendants of the servants of the old rock dragon hesitated slightly, and then chose to change the court and became the servants of the white dragon. They merged with the White Dragon's original servants to form a larger group of Argonians.
But later, the White Dragon was driven away by Phaethon, and even the White Dragon Mountain was occupied by human pioneers and became a mine. The Wulong people were naturally not inferior to the legendary holy warrior "Heavenly Punishment Sacred Flame" who was able to drive away the white dragon, and was finally broken up and turned into several tribes scattered in the central and southern parts of Longtou Island.
For more than 100 years, the Wurm people have been living in a state of confusion, like a group of walking dead, unable to find the purpose and meaning of life.
But now it's different!
They have found a new owner!
Although this black dragon is still too young, her strength is not weak at all. Several Wurm elders who had seen the old master Dorenokars said that if they fought one-on-one, even if the old master could win, it would definitely not be easy - Dorenokars was a dragon that had lived for five or six hundred years, and the master of the black dragon, who called himself "Black Tail Purple Rose", had not even reached the age of ten since hatching!
In fact, the Wurmians don't care how strong the master is, they are only happy because the master is young enough.
When the master is young, he can live for a long, long time, so that they can serve the master from generation to generation, and it is best to go on for a long time, stable and comfortable.
This strange outlook on life and values made the seed lady herself feel speechless. But she enjoyed the worship of these wurmists, and without much hesitation, she accepted their surrender and became the master of the wurmists on Longtou Island, and led the team to the lair of the old rock dragon, receiving the legacy left by the unknown old dragon.
Although the years had erased the traces of the old dragon's life, and even the dragon charm he had engraved in the cave to prove his identity had lost its power and could not read his origin, the nest he had carefully prepared remained largely intact, and the Seed Lady cleaned up a little and moved in contentedly.
"Well, you don't live in the castle anymore?" Panda asked in surprise when she was going to move out, "don't you like the sour pools in the castle?"
"Compared to that dragon's lair, the condition of the castle is still too poor after all. "Maybe when I turn back into human form, I'll choose to live in the castle for a while." But when I kept my dragon form, the conditions were good over there – like the difference between an ordinary apartment and a fancy villa. ”
"Such an exaggeration?!" the panda was taken aback.
"I'm not saying how extravagant the conditions are or anything else...... It's hard to explain this feeling. In short, when I appear in the dragon posture, lying in the dragon's den over there, I will have an indescribable feeling of reassurance, and the whole person seems to become comfortable and comfortable - it is like a cold day, huddled in a heated room, there is enough food and drink, as well as a computer, and there is an Internet ...... You can understand the feeling, right?"
Panda nodded: "I understand." But...... Living like this, aren't you afraid of growing into a fat man?"
"Don't be afraid, if you get fat, you can enjoy such a life, I am willing to grow to 10,000 catties!"
Looking at the very resolute expression of the seed lady, the panda couldn't help but smile.
"If you grow to 10,000 catties, it's really not an ordinary dragon...... I'm afraid that compared to the ancient gods, it won't be too bad. ”
"10,000 catties is only five tons, in fact, it is a small character in the dragon, a blue whale has nearly 200 tons, and it is not surprising that the big dragon has tens of thousands of tons. "For example, the old rock dragon who left the dragon's lair, compared to some of the relics in the dragon's lair, I estimate that if he fully unfolds his body, he may be more than sixty meters from head to tail, at least forty meters tall when he stands up, and weighs more than 1,000 tons...... This may have been the result of his magic lowering his weight, or his body becoming lighter due to old age. ”
The panda pondered for a moment, startled.
He originally thought that the huge earth dragon that had defeated the Thracian army in the battle of Tara Khan not long ago was the most terrifying dragon, but compared to this old dragon, that guy was actually not particularly huge.
But it's right to think about it, it's not surprising that a dragon who lives to die of old age has such a big size.
The panda and many of the travelers visited the Seed Lady's new home, and to be honest, they couldn't see where the cave was comfortable. But the seed lady likes it, and of course everyone will not spoil her interest.
So, the seed lady officially lived in the dragon's lair, which she named "Rose Mountain Black Tail Cave", and became the new owner of the Yalong people on Longtou Island.
And her first order to her servants was to join the alliance led by Yunelo and become one of his princes.
