On the territory of the Principality of Garam, Penta Street, Whale Tavern.

The tavern is mixed and lively, people gather in twos and threes, drinking ordinary rye coarse beer, eating large pieces of barbecue, while eating and drinking, do not forget to brag, tell the people around some more interesting things, provoke a burst of amazement.

At this time, a wine table seat for four people sits.

Boom!

The large wine glass fell heavily on the table, splashing out hops, and when the wine glass was put down, the middle-aged drinker who seemed to be a little drunk looked left and right, and then put on a vigilant and cautious appearance, causing the people around him to listen subconsciously.

He whispered:

"Have you heard, the Limestone Islands are now no longer divided and are united."

"Oh? When did it happen, I remember that there were dragons in the Limestone Islands, there were storm giants, and the principality of Bora. ”

The drinker at the table next to him laughed loudly and interjected: "Where are you from the countryman, the news is too closed, the giants of the Limestone Islands fought with dragons before, and the dragon lord killed all the giants, and this was a few years ago." ”

Someone else joined the discussion, saying:

"Dragons are still powerful, although many records say that dragons and giants are rivals, but I always feel that dragons are more ferocious."

"I think giants are more powerful."

"What kind of mess, isn't the human principality of the Limestone Islands still good? And monsters also exist, where are they unified. ”

There is a little bit of information, but not many people said.

At the same time, the drinker who spoke first cleared his throat and said mysteriously:

"You don't know."

"The dragon who doesn't know where it came from, the powerful true dragon who proclaimed himself the Emperor Dragon, cleared the way with the power of devastating and decaying, and has now secretly become the lord of the Duchy of Bora, and the entire Limestone Islands are now under the rule of dragons."

The drinker, who was originally drinking silently, suddenly spoke, "What did you say that you said is the king of the West Sea who has recently become famous?" ”

"Yes, the King of the Western Sea, the King of the Offshore Sea, the Emperor Dragon, it is now the most powerful creature in the Offshore Zone, and it is invincible under the legend."

"Where did you hear that, why don't I know?"

"Well, a well-informed adventurer friend told me."

"Dilong? Tsk, the emperor of dragons, this dragon has such a big breath, in my impression, even if it is an arrogant dragon, there are few people who dare to take such nicknames, most of them are the nicknames of some Wings of the Plain, the Dragon of Calamity. ”

"I'm already planning to leave the near sea, no one knows when this emperor dragon will show his fangs again, the dragon's temper is moody, I don't want to become a slave of the dragon at that time, it's better to pack up the treasure and leave the near sea as soon as possible, I advise you to plan early."

"Nonsense, no matter how powerful it is, it's just a dragon, invincible under the legend? Although there is no legendary powerhouse in the offshore area, there is no small number of high-level existences close to the legend, and it is not easy to unite to encircle and suppress a dragon, no matter how strong it is, how many can it fight at the same time? Look, it's just some rumors that I don't know if it's true or false that scare you, a bunch of cowards. ”

"You mean light, united? How to unite? Who wants to take the lead? ”

There was a lot of discussion among the drinkers, and the whole tavern was having a lively discussion about the king of the near sea, about the Dilong.

At the same time, after the discussion of the Dilong became lively, the originally drunk drinker looked around, then got up from his chair and left the Whale Tavern with a left and right.

What he didn't notice was.

As he stepped out of the tavern, in an imperceptible corner of the tavern, a burly man sitting in the shadow of the light, with a small but low presence, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then followed.

It is a commercial street with a variety of shops, and the street is crowded with bustling people.

The drunken drinkers mingled in the crowd and quickly moved away from the Whale Tavern, and gradually came to the deserted, deserted alleys.

Look left and right to make sure no one is chasing you.

The swaying posture gradually became straight, and a pair of misty eyes belonging to drunkards showed their essence, and the drunken state disappeared in an instant.

Take out a map and a pen from your bosom.

The middle-aged man made a mark on the map and drew a cross at the location of the Whale Tavern, indicating that he had already been there.

No matter what city it is, a tavern is always the best place to spread the word, and he understands this, and thinking of the task on his shoulders, he exhales, prepares to change his disguise, and move on to the next tavern.

I looked up at the sky.

The sun was still bright, casting from the sky, and some of the small alleys that had entered the alley fell on his front and pulled a long shadow behind him.

He stepped away, and the shadow behind him moved with him.

Suddenly.

A pair of muscular arms poked out of the shadows beneath his feet, tugging at his legs and pulling them down heavily.

Suddenly, his complexion changed drastically, his body was suddenly short, and he was pulled into the shadow of the ground from the waist down, and this shadow was like glue with a strong absorbing force, firmly grasping him, making it difficult for him to move.

At the same time, a shadow rose, turning into a strong silhouette in the daylight, standing in front of the trapped man.

It is the Shadow Monk who specializes in the art of concealment and lurking.

This type of warrior monk is always dedicated to a certain big person, and is always referred to as a ninja or shadow dancer.

"Tell me, who's behind you?"

The shadow turned into a veil to cover his face, revealing only a pair of eyes, and the shadow warrior monk's gaze fell on the middle-aged man without a trace of emotion, causing his heart to sink.

"I don't understand what you're talking about, if there's any misunderstanding here."

The middle-aged man showed a panicked, puzzled, and confused expression on the surface, and his tone was mixed with fear that belonged to the attacked.

"I've followed you all the way from the Whale Tavern here, and if you think it's just a misunderstanding, you're being foolish."

"Don't pretend to be stupid in front of me, make it easier for you and me."

"Who sent you to spread the word about the King of the Near Sea?"

The Shadow Warrior Monk said in a cold voice.

Whoosh. Shadow tentacles rose from the ground, wrapping around the middle-aged man's body, weak, paralyzed, cold, and unable to move except for being able to speak, including suicide.

Since it is impossible to fool the past, the middle-aged man who has been debunked no longer disguises.

The confusion and fear on his expression subsided, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't waste time, kill me, if you think you can get any news from me, it is a big mistake." ”

In the sunlight, the Shadow Warrior Monk smiled suddenly.

"Sometimes, I prefer a hard-spoken goal to an easy task."

"Prepare yourself for a not-so-wonderful time with me."

Call! The shadows swirled, engulfing the middle-aged man entirely.

The Shadow Monk looked left and right, and then slowly sank into the shadows, masking his aura fluctuations through the Shadow Technique, and at the same time using the Shadow Walk, taking his captives through the shimmer and shadows.

Take the target to a modest inn.

After casting the Shadow Veil to seal off the room and make sure nothing could be heard, the Shadow Monk went about his work.

Then, a terrible wail sounded that no one knew.

A similar scene is happening in other countries in the West Sea.

A few days later.

West Sea, Limestone Islands, Boulder Islands.

The golden dragon is entrenched in a small mountain of treasures, exchanging the latest intelligence information with the Warrior Monk Sect Master through the spiritual connection.

"Your Majesty, it has been determined that the mastermind behind the scenes is a special organization from the Duchy of Raymond and the Duchy of Kassel."

The Warrior Monk Sect Master said.

"What is the reason?"

"The exact reason is not clear, they have only been given the task of exaggerating and spreading your prestige."

The Warrior Monk Sect Master said.

After a pause, the Warrior Monk Sect Master continued:

"In addition to identifying the mastermind behind the scenes, we have found that the public opinion environment in the eight coastal countries is now very unfriendly to you, and your reputation has spread widely, and you are almost a household name in the eight coastal countries, and they are all notorious."

A household name for its notoriety. Saga remained silent.

"You can come back, the Shadow continues to be outside, pay attention to all kinds of information related to me, as well as the changes in the situation in the countries of the continent."

"Yes!" The Warrior Monk Sect Master responded in a deep voice.

Immediately, disconnecting from the spiritual communication with his subordinates, Saga shook his tail, his eyes narrowed slightly, thoughtfully.

Call!

A gust of wind swept out of the dragon palace and the golden dragon stood on top of the palace, standing on two feet and looking into the distance.

"Duchy of Raymond and Duchy of Kassel."

"Of the eight offshore nations, these are the two closest principalities to the Limestone Islands."

Most of the countries in the coastal zone are human principalities, and the two principalities that are behind the scenes are the closest to Sagar.

There was a gleam of psionic energy in his eyes, and Zachar's mind was running.

"As the closest principality to me, they feel threatened in me, fear me, and want to get rid of me before I become stronger and take the initiative to wreak havoc on their country."

"But. Relying only on the strength of their two principalities, they felt that they were not safe enough. ”

"So I sent my own organization to spread my notoriety among other coastal countries, so as to attract the attention and vigilance of the other six countries to me, so that they could ask for more support."

Spending psionic energy has caused a brainstorm.

Through the integration of various types of information available, Saga determined the most probable and most probable hypothesis.

Shaking his head imperceptibly, the young dragon's gaze swept in the direction of the two human principalities, and his eyes were calm, like the surface of a lake before a storm approached.

"I'll make you regret being my enemy."

"The King of the Near Sea? Since you gave me this name, then I will not let it go. ”

Facing the cold moonlight, Sagar raised his head.

The horns of the giant dragon's head are magnificent, and the dragon horns and crowns coated with a layer of moonlight shine brightly, revealing a kind of awe-inspiring and surrendering temperament and majesty.

For the rest of the day, Sachar stayed quietly in the Limestone Islands, continuing to exercise daily, developing skills, making himself stronger bit by bit, and adjusting his condition to meet the coming storm.

During this time, the Shadow Warrior Monk who was active outside brought more news.

The offshore area is not a big place, just an area between the Yar continent and the Vortex Sea.

There is not a single legendary existence on the surface of the eight countries near the sea, not counting the monster lords on one side, the pirate groups that haunt the coastal seas, there are still a lot of high-level combat power in the coastal seas, and there are a total of four ninth-order existences close to legends.

Two of them are located in the strongest human principality in the offshore zone, the Duchy of Tver.

There are also two other principalities located in the other two principalities.

In addition, the killing strategy of the Duchy of Kassel and the Duchy of Raymond is really useful.

The other six countries attached great importance to Sagar, the king of the sea, and successively sent many pioneers to the Limestone Islands to find out more about it, but most of them were in vain, because the local creatures did not know much about Sagar, and the news obtained from the side was of little reference value.

A few of those who were brave enough to sneak into Boulder Island to observe quietly stayed here forever, including a high-ranking eighth-order thief who specialized in undercover assassination, who was discovered by Sagar's insight and then ordered the dragon vein giant to twist his neck.

Lack of effective messages.

However, all the pioneers sent to the Limestone Islands have returned in vain, and it can be inferred that the [King of the Near Sea] has a little power.

On this day, Saga was in the Dragon Palace with his eyes slightly closed, immersed in the force field world of perception inside, and developing exploration skills.

At the psychic level, a black shark's request for communication suddenly came.

The psychic connection between the Psychic Warlock and the Psionic Guard is not equal and two-way, and the Psychic Warlock's influence on the Psionic Guard goes without saying, but when the Psionic Guard wants to communicate with the Psychic Warlock through the Psych, he needs the Warlock's permission to pass on the message.

Sachar accepted the other party's request for exchange.

The voice of the black shark sounded from his heart.

"Your Majesty, there is a clan of scorpions in the dark water that I intercepted on the coastline."

"Their lion scorpion leader has said that he has led his clan all the way to become your dependent."

Hearing this, Saga was slightly stunned at first, and then showed a sudden expression.

"The high-level leaders of the Duchy of Kassel and the Duchy of Raymond had a good strategy to kill me, but they missed one point."

"My reputation is resounding, and while it is fearful and fearful to the humans of the near sea, it also attracts the worship of monsters, especially my identity as a true dragon."

The same reputation, the same level of strength.

Dragons are more likely to attract the allegiance of all kinds of monsters, after all, dragons have a lot of potential and power.

"Bring the scorpion leader to me."

"Yes."

A few minutes later, in the palace hall, Saga's massive body sat on a giant throne made for himself, staring down at the monster prostrate below.

This is a giant lion with a body length of ten meters, different from ordinary lions, in addition to its size, it has very little hair on its body, strong muscles on its limbs and body can be seen everywhere, its skin is mainly blue, and there are many gray, purple, black spot textures, a pair of dragon-like wings are born on both sides of the body, the wingspan is huge, the most striking thing is the long scorpion tail behind the giant lion, the top barb with a blue color, at a glance has a terrible poison.

It was not yet at a high level, but it was already infinitely close, reaching the level of the peak of the sixth order.

The water lion scorpion, one of the variants of the lion scorpion family, loves to follow the real dragon, and is more popular with the real dragon.

All lion scorpions have terrifying poison, the sixth-order peak of the Dark Water Lion Scorpion, its scorpion tail toxin can make even ninth-order warriors feel painful, of course, the premise is to be able to hit the target and break the defense, and penetrate the toxin deep into the opponent's body.

Meanwhile.

Feeling the strong dragon power coming from the golden dragon, the leader of the water lion scorpion lowered his head deeply, and said in a monster language like a roar:

"The noble and great Emperor Dragon, the king of the near sea."

"I long to be your dependent, to roar under your dragon wings, to fight for you, to tear apart all enemies in your sight!"

At the same time, a whisper of the heart that sounded like thunder sounded in the heart of the lion scorpion leader.

"I accept your allegiance."

First startled, then the scorpion leader quickly responded: "It's my pleasure!" ”

After a brief exchange, Black Shark left with the scorpion leader and found a place for them to settle down on Boulder Island as a clan territory.

And that's just the beginning.

In the days that followed, a large number of monster races arrived in the Greystone Islands to follow the King of the Near Sea.

Blue-scaled kobolds, frogmen, sea lizardmen, bipedal wyverns, bloodthirsty gnolls. Some of them are very close, and some even come from the coastal mountains and rivers of the mainland.

Among them, the two most powerful are the bipedal wyvern and the water lion scorpion, which are relatively easy to use for dragons.

The Limestone Islands are relatively large, and the territory is large enough, and for the monster clans that want to follow them, except for those who are too weak and have no characteristics, the others have successfully joined Zachar's command.

Zachar's power swelled rapidly.

As more and more monsters gather to go to the Limestone Islands, the countries that have regarded the [King of the Coastal Seas] as an imaginary enemy are a little unable to sit still, and in view of the situation here in the Limestone Islands, the communication and consultation between the eight countries in the coastal waters are becoming more and more frequent.

Before the war began, though.

There's an uninvited guest here in the Limestone Islands.

Airplanes!

An unabashed, unbridled dragon power swept over Boulder Island, alarming Saga, who was doing his daily workout.

He raised his head and looked at the roots of Long Wei.

In the sky shrouded in night, a blue dragon shadow was clearly visible across the sky.

It has jewel-like scales that glitter like starlight, and the scales are arranged one after another, and the color shows the color from the light blue of the spring sky to the azure of sapphires and compressed ice crystals, which is very beautiful, and what is more strange is that the barbs on its tail and the tip of its diamond-shaped jewel-like tail are all separated from the body and levitated.

This is a female sapphire dragon in the prime of life.

The sixteen-meter-long body from head to tail was getting closer and closer to Sagar.

When Zaga spotted it, it also smelled the dragons on Zachar's body, and saw Zachar without cover through its open vision.

"Straight to me?"

Sagar's eyes narrowed slightly, meeting the jewel dragon's excited gaze.

This prime-aged sapphire dragon passed by the offshore area the day before yesterday and heard about the clan that was revered as the king of the offshore sea, and then he was very interested and soared there.

The Jewel Dragon is a neutral dragon species.

However, not all gem dragons are reluctant to cause trouble.

Among all the gem dragons, the sapphire dragon is the most belligerent, fighting is part of the nature of the sapphire dragon, they are brave and aggressive, fierce, and their desire for battle is even more than that of the red dragon, after all, many red dragons are actually lazy and don't really want to fight when they are fine, and the sapphire dragon is basically either fighting, or on the way to fight.

If you were to use one word to describe the sapphire dragon.

That's – belligerent as madness!
