Only after the shaking and shock wave had died away did the crowd rise from the ground.

Fortunately, the power of the shock and shock wave was not too great, and Raphael, as a mature and steady dragon, knew how to control the power, so everyone was not blown away, but was just overturned to the ground...

When the surroundings returned to calm, a harmonious sound was heard again.

"Whew... Shh

Phoenix, the former Great Chief, was still sleeping on the ground at the moment, but because of the shock wave, he was blown away a few meters, but even if the movement was not small, it did not affect his sleep.

At the same time, Shaman Gordon froze in place, muttering, "Something is not quite right..."

He had made up a lot of famous scenes in his head, but they were all crushed by this dramatic dragon appearance.

For example... The two Great Chiefs will fight to the death, and then Broken Tooth will kill his father Phoenix for the sake of justice, and finally eliminate the Empress... With a heavy heart, everyone buried the previous Great Chieftain and left the forest with the remnants...

Or maybe Phoenix was defeated after the battle and was dying! On the occasion of dying, I gave everyone some inspiration, said some tearful words, and finally returned to the arms of the ancestors with reluctance and regret... The crowd was sad and angry, but they had no choice but to establish a tribe on the ruins again...

However... The development of things is always more unreliable than expected, not only do you not have anything to do, but you are also very embarrassed to stay where you are and don't know what to do!

"Whew... Shh

Phoenix was still asleep, as the Empress had regained his original skin color due to the collapse of her body.

"Poof... Puff..."

Sleeping alone was not enough, he let out a few more loud farts, turned over and scratched his back and continued to sleep.

"Hey..."Broken teeth covered their faces, such an embarrassing scene made everyone stunned and didn't know what to do...

After a long time, Raphael retrieved a black crystal from the wreckage and transformed back into the dragonman form.

"Finally found it!"

When his father-in-law returned to his normal size, Ted stepped forward to break the peace...

"Well, father-in-law, what else do we need to do?"

As a dragon, he will never be limited by any rules, he will not make any speeches in front of small creatures, let alone make speeches, and after doing what he promised, he will go home and lie down!

"What to do? Go home! Didn't I take care of everything for you? ”

Of course Ted knew this, but it was a little too fast: "yes... But we've only been here for less than ten minutes, and we're going home? ”

Raphael touched his chin and looked down in thought: "When you say that, it's indeed a bit fast!" But... What are you doing here? I'm going to paint... Yesterday I ate that apple before I finished painting..."

As he spoke, Raphael opened his mouth and threw the black magic crystal into his mouth, and just when he wanted to chew it, he found that the magic crystal was not as big as he imagined...

"Forget it, it's like eating a piece of sour and astringent sugar..."

With one bite, the magic crystal turned into pure energy and fell into the stomach, just enough to fill the consumption caused by the exercise just now!

"By the way, there's one thing I almost forgot!" After a full hiccups, Raphael remembered something, and then turned to the front of the Fire Tribe...

After looking around, he picked out a man with good strength, held out his right hand to him, and motioned for Broken Tooth to come over.

Broken Tooth is just a weak chicken in front of the dragon, and if he disobeys the instructions of such a big guy, he will be finished in a while! Not only that, but it also endangers the safety of your compatriots...

So! At the first second of receiving the instructions, Broken Tooth walked over, bowed slightly and responded kindly, following some of the etiquette he had learned in Valentine: "Hello... Mr. Dragon? Is there anything going on? ”

Ever since Raphael thought about the 'rent', every time he saw a new race, he had to ask for rent, and even if he knew that he would definitely not be able to ask for it, he had to say that he was looking for a sense of existence: "Oh... It's nothing, I'm just looking for you to settle the rent for the past 100,000 years..."

"Rent? What's that? "When he first heard such an unfamiliar word, Broken Tooth could only stay where he was, waiting for Raphael's explanation...

Raphael didn't care about Versailles again, he pretended to be helpless and let out a long sigh, repeating what he had said before: "This entire continent is the territory of our ice dragon, and it took us a total of 20,000 years to use magic to arch such a continent out of the ground!" You live here, and you deserve to pay rent! ”

"This..."It doesn't matter if what Raphael said is true or not, even if it's fake, you have to pay for a broken tooth, in front of such a behemoth, even if it's not your own pot, you have to carry it...

It's just that the forest was destroyed, his home was gone, and he couldn't hand over a single wheat...

"We don't have money or food right now... How do you pay this? ”

Raphael frowned, stuffed a lollipop into his mouth, and asked in a puzzled and majestic tone, pretending to be angry, "Is it possible... Do you want to pay off? Live in Overlord Land!? ”

This tone is obviously to say, 'Are you TM here to find fault?' ’

Now, even if he gave a few guts to the broken tooth, he didn't dare to repay the debt, and then raised his hands and tried his best to explain: "Ah no, no, no! I mean, can you take a break, the forest we're in is destroyed, and we don't know which warehouse the money is scattered in, can we give it a few more days..."

Hearing 'the forest destroyed', Raphael reacted as if... It's true that the surroundings are gone, but that doesn't bother him...

"It's strange that you guys are so good in the places around you, especially to the south, and how rich the water and soil are? You have to come here to join in the fun!? ”

Broken Tooth spread his hands, and according to the records in ancient books, he slowly said the reason: "Here... The environment is also very good... There are too many saber-toothed tigers and demonized brown bears in the south, and it is impossible to live there in peace..."

"What's the matter! This land is not suitable for farming, it is saline, and the trees on it are made by me to grow in a special way! Besides, some demonized animals are just that, why bother? You just stew them and it's over? It can both reduce the crisis and fill the stomach! ”

"This..."The broken tooth wiped away the cold sweat that flowed, and couldn't help but vomit in his heart: "If I were a dragon, I wouldn't be afraid..."

Looking at his surroundings, Raphael yawned again, and just pinched his fingers to deduce the reason!

That is, the heart of the forest that I left behind before is gone...

However, there are as many as this thing wants!

As he spoke, Raphael turned around helplessly, elegantly stretched out the little finger of his right hand, and gently stuffed it into his nostrils...

In less than five seconds, a large forest heart full of energy was rubbed...

He threw his hand into the distance, and almost instantly, the entire forest was once again rejuvenated.

Having quietly witnessed all this, Ted was dumbfounded again... He thought he was very 'wasteful', but he didn't expect that there was still treasure on the dragon's body!

Thinking of this, he cautiously moved to Lilia's side, took out a roast chicken and placed it in her hand to attract attention, and then used a cotton swab to gently hang a layer of skin crumbs from her ear...

He picked up the wipes again and wiped off the droppings from the corners of Lilia's eyes, and after doing this, he still felt that it was not enough, so he raised his hands and turned into a five-finger comb to help Lilia comb her hair...

After such a toss, he put the collected crumbs together and kneaded them into a small ball, and after systematic identification, Ted's eyes widened, and he called blyat in his heart!

Because there were too many people around him, Ted didn't say it, but quietly sighed in his heart! "I'll you... Nuggets of gold..."

Just as everyone was sorting out their equipment and waiting for the big chief to give the next instructions, a small spider picked up a small piece of magic crystal and walked quickly towards the outskirts of the forest...

"There is no place to stay here, there is a place to keep a master! This Empress changes places! Go to the human side and develop obscenely! When the time comes, I'll find a way to get out of this continent! ”

Years of death experience gave the empress a revelation, she did not put all her power into one magic crystal when she was resurrected this time, but divided part of the power into another magic crystal, if it was eaten, the secondary magic crystal will be actively activated!

The next thing is to quietly flee the scene while they think they are dead!

"Slipped! It's well developed! I'm going to be the boss in a place where there are no dragons! ”

...

An hour later, after much discussion, Ted decided to let the advance team and later the militia stay here for medical assistance, while the trucks that had previously delivered supplies returned to prepare for the next wave of supplies.

Outside the forest, according to the statistics of the Great Elder overnight, the population of the Fire Tribe has plummeted from 900,000 before the disaster to 70,000, and there is not one warrior in the tribe, but many women and children have survived!

After the team converged, the moment Broken Tooth got the result, he could only find the farthest position, and sat lonely on the ground to hurt himself.

The Great Elder organized the rest of the people in the distance to build temporary shelters, while he himself looked at the report, wondering where the tribe would go in the future...

Ted heard the news from the sidelines, although he predicted that the Fire Tribe would lose more than half of its personnel, but he didn't expect it to be so much less, not even 10% before the war...

However, at this time, if you propose an alliance again, the success rate and loyalty will be higher! After all, it's better to give charcoal in the snow than icing on the cake!

"Ahem..."Ted slowly walked towards Broken Tooth and said his intentions: "Broken Tooth, I heard that you are now the Great Chief, have you considered our cooperation?" ”

There was no one else around, so Broken Tooth didn't hide it, and directly informed Ted of the tribe's situation: "Of course there is, but our current appearance no longer has the strength we used to have, and our combat power is only less than one percent... I don't know if I'm qualified to be on an equal footing with everyone..."

"Hey... Is it because of this? Alliances don't all represent equality in strength! At some point, spiritual equivalence is more important! Ted didn't expect Broken Tooth to understand right now, he waved his hand to signal Broken Tooth not to go deeper, and then smiled and opened two bottles of happy water and handed Broken Tooth one bottle.

"Huh? This material, transparent, is the same as glass! But lightweight? This... What is it? ”

"It's called plastic, and it's kind of our little invention..."

Ted poured half a bottle in one gulp, pointed at Raphael, who was flexing his muscles in front of the Fire Tribe not far away, and said nonsense: "Actually, the alliance and everything are done under the banner of these dragons..."

At this moment, the Fire Tribe saw the dragon that was rare in 10,000 years, and they all gathered around to celebrate, and by the way, they blew rainbow farts!

Raphael, a dragon who loves applause and compliments, enjoys being adored by small creatures!

Lilia, on the other hand, sat next to Ted and munched on her own chicken legs, no matter what was happening around her, as if she didn't see it.

"You mean... Is this continent really dragon's? ”

"Sort of, this continent was created by them, and we, as creatures living on this continent, should live according to the ideas of the landlord."

Of course, what Ted said was, so the dragons didn't care what the ants on their territory were going to do.

The 'rent' that Raphael talks about every day is just boring to do!

Ted himself is under the banner of a dragon, expanding the alliance while flickering!

According to the previous idea, it should be no problem to shape the dragons into the masters of this continent, and add their own relationship with the dragons, to become the 'administrators'!

And other races and tribes that can be allianced, as a matter of course, will become members of the alliance! Of course, whether or not you are eligible to become a member of the alliance depends entirely on what Ted means.

The red oak in front of him, whose ancestors lived in the mangrove forest by the sea, gave him red skin, and later moved to the land because of the rising sea level.

Logically speaking, they should be more appropriately called Mangroves, and Oak is just the name Ted gave them with tinted glasses, since the word originally meant ogre.

Compared with the Green Forest Tribe and the other two weak chicken tribes, the people of the Agni Tribe are brave and upright by nature, not to mention jealousy and hatred, and they will not be in the company of the underworld forces...

So! Such a group deserves to be developed!

According to the content of historical records, these red creatures have hardly seen humans and moon elves, and there are no historical disputes between them.

At the same time, they now have no enemies, and the background is clean, suitable for developing alliances!

For their future plans, Ted has already thought about the specific content of their work.

In the early days of industrialization, they could help carry or load and unload goods, and in the case of shamans, Ted was short of a large number of document-keepers who could fill the gap.

In addition to this, there is an important job, and that is artillery!

These big guys are artillerymen, and they are good at loading ammunition! A hundred kilograms of shells, they can carry three at a time!

In this world, there is no Uncle Black human meat loader, and installing an automatic reloading system will take up a lot of space! It's better to put a few more shells!

So... Now and in the future, there will always be a place for them in the ranks of artillerymen!

In the later stage of industrialization, a large number of equipment and freight vehicles will replace them, but Ted will not worry~

In addition to production jobs, after the development of light industry, many suitable jobs will be created.

For example, athletes... There are also some tasks that do not particularly require brains, and they can be entrusted to do them.

Due to the special agricultural production environment in the north, it is difficult for machines to come in handy in greenhouses, and humans carrying large bamboo baskets on their backs cannot collect a row of crops at one time, and they have to turn back many times.

If you change this group of people, you can do it in one trip! The output can be increased a lot!

Besides, the brains of this group of people are not stupid, but compared to humans or moon elves, they are a little insufficient.

According to the IQ level of the system profile, it is enough to have 80~120, but such an IQ can be competent for most jobs and will not cause a waste of manpower~

Ted drank the rest of the happy water, turned to look at Broken Tooth, pointed in the direction of his city and smiled, "Why don't you go to the city to talk?" ”

Even if he wanted to go, the responsibility on his shoulders would not allow it, so he hurriedly waved his hand and politely refused: "Huh? You mean, now go to your place to talk? But we have just experienced a big war, the population has plummeted, and everyone has no hope for life, and we need me here to stabilize the people's hearts! ”

He had a point, but Ted needed a quick and accurate answer, because he was going to plan a move on the Empire, so he had to get things done as soon as possible: "Hmm... You have a point! Then I'll wait for your news? ”

"No problem! I'll go to you quickly to negotiate after I'm done dealing with it..."Broken Tooth gave a thumbs up, indicating that he would do it as soon as possible!

In order to quickly deal with the people of the Fire Tribe, Ted took out the latest aid list given by Chris, and the price of each aid in the list was marked, all calculated according to the market price, and the price was very 'inflated'!

But that's what Ted wants: "Good! That's it... I have something here, which is a document of your aid, and at the bottom is the total value of the aid, which is converted into gold coins... I don't know how you're going to pay..."

Broken Tooth took the file and followed the direction Ted was pointing to see the number at the bottom...

"What? 17,000,000 gold coins? No... Assistance? Can I get a discount? It's okay to charge less... So much? "Broken teeth, just joined steel teeth, are going to be scared out! He looked at the number, counted it carefully a dozen times, and found that there was nothing wrong with his eyes...

He didn't know the gold content and weight of this gold coin, but at worst it would be 5 grams of gold, even if it was calculated according to 5g of gold per gold coin... That's 85 tons of gold...

Since the day the Fire Tribe was founded, there hasn't been so much gold in total, and it can't afford to pay for it at all...

Moreover, the gold coins that Ted was referring to weighed 10g each, which meant that they had to pay 170 tons of gold!

Seeing the frightened face of Broken Tooth, Ted smiled slightly, and continued to flicker according to the planned routine!

"Yes, it is indeed aid, but the premise of the aid is that 'the Fire Tribe is our ally', and it belongs to the Nok Alliance under the Nok Continent of the Ice Dragon, and only by joining this alliance will the aid not charge any fees!"

Broken Tooth understood what Ted meant, and he didn't plan to give himself time at all!

But... Judging by the list of assistance above, these things are really worth the money!

As I saw before, a small bottle of brown and yellow, transparent liquid called allicin, as long as you drink it, it can be anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, and it can be used internally and externally with other medicines.

If it weren't for these precious medicines, the Fire Tribe would probably have less than 50,000 people left...

And those convenient high-calorie foods, and enough flour and meat, really helped the Fire Tribe!

The dry food brought out by everyone is enough for all members to eat for 5 days on average, and after 5 days, everyone will be hungry!

Originally, in the Monster Forest, everyone reclaimed a few pieces of arable land and raised a lot of livestock...

But as the war began, the disaster came, and it was gone!

So, they won't have anything to eat for at least half a year.

And the food expenses for this half year, plus other material costs, are calculated together, and the asking price of 17 million gold coins is not too much at all.

In the past, when everyone was self-sufficient, they didn't care about the specific value of these things, but now, Broken Tooth knows that if it is all about buying, the cost will be so high!

"That is, if I don't form an alliance, I'll either spend money on supplies, or we'll starve to death..."

"But if we decide to join this 'Nok Alliance', not only do we not have to spend a penny, but you can still help us solve the rest of the things?"

Ted gave a thumbs up in affirmation, and randomly opened his mouth to confirm: "That's natural, I have a document here, you can take a look..."

After handing over the papers, Ted continued to use his nonsense abilities, opening his eyes and starting to make up nonsense: "We are all people who live in the land of dragons, so you, like us, are loyal to dragons, but you can't talk about allegiance, just follow the rules they set... And I'm the face of the dragon! ”

"You? Are you the face of the dragon? Not human? Broken Tooth took a tactical half-step back in surprise, thinking it was Ted's slip of the tongue.

In order to show that his strength is unfathomable, and to show his relationship with the dragon, Ted spokes: "Of course not, the human spokesperson is another... As for why I'm the spokesperson, it's because of my 'this' relationship with the dragon..."

As he said this, Ted put his arm around Lilia beside him and smacked her greasy little face...

Seeing this, Broken Tooth was stunned for three seconds before he reacted!

The man in front of him is a fierce man who has married a dragon! The dragon who just sat down on the empress with his ass seems to be the father-in-law of the man in front of him!

Since he can be on an equal footing with the dragons, there must be something extraordinary about this man named Ted!

"I see," Broken Tooth flipped through the papers, and uttered his guess.

"In other words, as long as we abide by the rules set by the dragon and join the alliance as an equal race, we can be exempted from rent, and we can also get shelter, assistance, and expenses can be written off, and in addition, everyone in the Fire Tribe will be arranged to have something to do! There is food to eat. ”

If this group of big guys is made loyal to humanity and to themselves, it will cause disgust to a large extent, and Ted doesn't plan to let anyone be loyal to him, and he wants to build an equal and harmonious society! Asking others to be loyal to you is the opposite of what you originally thought!

Different races should not be dependent on each other, complementarity will burst out more powerful!

Of course, it's too early to tell them this...

Besides, there is a special reason for the name of the dragon!

That's... Tribes that value strength will have a common problem... They always have to believe and worship something, the god is too ethereal, if there is something that can be seen and touched, it will be great!

In the eyes of the people of the Fire Tribe, the human race does not have any great power, it is not worthy of allegiance, at most it is a mutually beneficial symbiosis, if it is at the cost of material assistance, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction!

At the same time, this is also a contradiction, if you want to deal with this point, you can only throw the pot to the tool man-dragon...

It's almost no fun to be loyal to humans, but allegiance to dragons is acceptable! This simple truth is the same as... On the street, you can't recognize your father casually, but if you change to a strong person, you won't have this problem, for example, when you give out red envelopes every year, it's not too much to shout 'Ma Dad'!

As for the 'allegiance' and 'rules', these are actually Ted's fames, first trick them in, and then slowly explain and educate.

Thinking about the pros and cons, and what he said afterwards, Ted nodded solemnly and pulled a pen out of his pocket!

"Yes! As long as you sign, we'll take care of the rest, you just need to solve the problem on your side! It's just a two-page document, no text traps, and if you sign it, we'll be able to take the next step! ”

Broken Tooth took the pen and carefully read the document in front of him twice before signing his name.

Ted doesn't mind this kind of rigorous approach, as the boss of the race, he should be responsible for his people, and such a person has a sense of responsibility to hold important positions!

"I'm signed! That... I continue to stay here and wait for news! ”

"No problem! I'll consult with the Ice Dragon Patriarch Francis, and then stamp the Ice Dragons and the Alliance's representatives, and I'll prepare a seal for you when you're done packing up and coming to Valentine to take office..."

"To Valentine? You're saying we're all going to Valentine? ”

"Where are you going? Just now my father-in-law said that this land is not suitable for survival, and he forcibly made greening for the sake of beauty! ”

"But... Our altars, and our ancestors, are buried here..."

"I said broken teeth! What a tendon you have! Don't you have long legs on your body? Look at those four-wheeled cars! You can come whenever you want, just leave some of them here to guard! ”

These words made Broken Tooth wake up to the fact that if he joins the Nock Alliance, when he worships his ancestors every year, he will be over by car! Thinking of this, he patted and responded: "That's right... Reasonable! ”

"Hmm... I heard that part of your altar has been replaced, and I remember this, and I will allocate funds to help you repair the broken building later..."

"It's... Can this be done too? ”

"Of course it can be done!" After saying this, Ted pretended to sigh and complained: "Hey... As the 'alliance leader', I have a lot of things to worry about, don't think that this position can give orders at will! Most of the time I work day and night, and it's tiring! ”

"Probably...", at least that's what Ted thought in his heart!
