Bronze Dragon: Tyrant's Road to Conquest

"There is so much gold!"

The Narwhal, which was docked in the outer area of ​​the Seideling Islands, was now in a state of exclamation and excitement. The reason for this was the gold covering the deck.

There is nothing that can stimulate the visual senses and rationality of ordinary people more than this. Everyone can hardly believe it. The sailors can't help but throw themselves at the gold. Some with a lower moral bottom line even start to use some smaller ones. Gold secretly stuffed it into his crotch.

“Where did all this gold come from?”

"How did you get it?"

People with more sober minds, or in other words, relatively sober people, began to ask the crew members who had just returned from the dragon's lair about the source of the gold.

This was news that could not be concealed, because too many people were brought to the Sun Palace, and the excessive amount of gold could not be hidden. Therefore, the source and origin of this batch of gold were quickly revealed on two merchant ships. It became an open and transparent message.

When the news spread, the noise and noise on the merchant ship suddenly became louder, and the quarrels and roars almost never stopped for a moment.

Because of this batch of gold, the crew on the ship were divided into three categories. One category was those who had the opportunity to enter the dragon's lair, received dragon rewards, and returned with a full load; the second category was those who had the opportunity to enter the dragon's lair, but But because he saw the chromatic dragon, he was so frightened that he fainted and lost the opportunity.

The third category is the group of people with the largest number and the biggest opinions. They neither got the opportunity to enter the dragon's lair nor were they allocated gold, but who would be willing to accept that this huge wealth has nothing to do with them.

Therefore, on the way back, the serious-faced Captain Donald had to face a problem that he needed to deal with immediately after he returned to the ship.

How is gold allocated?

The old captain's expression at this moment was more solemn than when facing a huge storm at sea, because facing the storm, everyone on the ship can get through it by working together, but once the distribution of benefits is uneven, the entire army will be annihilated, which is the inevitable outcome.

It is naturally impossible to divide gold equally. Equal sharing is the greatest injustice. Some people stay on the boat and do nothing but wait. Some people risk being eaten by dragons as food, and even face Big Dragon. A more terrifying existence was rewarded.

If these two types of people receive the same reward, those who have paid nothing will naturally be happy, but those who have taken risks will inevitably be resentful, which is also the source of disaster.

How to distribute the unexpected benefits is an important criterion for measuring the growth of an outstanding person. It is even related to whether the ship can set sail again and whether it can return to the harbor.

Relying on the prestige he had accumulated over a long period of time, the old captain quickly handled this crisis. He sacrificed his own interests and retained only a small part.

With him leading by example, he asked other crew members who had received dragon rewards to distribute a small portion of gold to other crew members on the ship, and things went much smoother.

But the feeling of dissatisfaction still exists. Some people feel that their share is too little, while some people feel that the rewards they have received for their courage, wisdom and agility, why should they be shared with other people?

But after this not-so-perfect profit distribution, the crew members of the two merchant ships were barely able to achieve a semblance of harmony, and the quarrels became much smaller.

"Repair the ship, replenish fresh water and food, and after completing these tasks, we can return."

"yes."

Although he unexpectedly gained a huge fortune, no one who had been there, including the old captain, wanted to try it a second time because the pressure he had to endure was too great.

However, some sailors who had not been given the opportunity were eager to give it a try. After all, everyone who had been there had returned alive, and they had brought back huge wealth that could not be spent in a lifetime and could even be passed on to future generations as long as they were cautious and thrifty.

It's a pity that ordinary sailors are only qualified to obey orders on the ship and have almost no say unless all sailors unite. But some people are satisfied after getting the gold, so even the extremely eager sailors can only Go to work honestly.

Moreover, Tyrell has now obtained the information he wanted, and he even obtained the sea map. The value of these merchant ships to him is basically very little. Their last value now is to return with a ship full of gold. In the harbors of the civilized world, news related to the Sedelin Islands was disseminated.

While the Narwhal and Beluga were repaired, damaged parts replaced, and sailing again, a large-scale fleet was also approaching the Seideling Islands, with masts densely packed like a forest and sails blocking the clouds and the sun.

In the sea area that this fleet passed through, the ships coming and going, whether they were pirates or merchant ships, were like birds encountering wild beasts. They hurriedly stayed away and did not dare to approach at all.

"Your Majesty the Governor, we are about to enter the territory ruled by Naga, please give us instructions!"

Among the many ships, on the sail warship that still stood out like a mountain on the sea, the officer wearing the captain's hat respectfully asked for instructions from the man standing at the bow of the ship with a sinister look on his face.

Above their heads, several flags were hung on the top of the tallest mast, rustling in the sea breeze. There was a red background double sword and black cross flag representing the Kingdom of Bultan, and a flag representing the Jimenez family. Hailong flag, fleet commander's flag, captain's flag.

"The fleet maintains the current speed and moves in."

The man's eyes fell on the head of the sea dragon in front of him, without even looking at the captain behind him, and he gave instructions in a calm tone.

"Just drive in like this?"

There was a look of astonishment on the captain's face, and he asked in disbelief,

"Don't you need to say hello to Naga?"

Although with the fleet's current warship configuration, even without the man in front of him who was once known as Herbert's Star and had the title of Butcher of the Sea, he is confident that he can command the fleet to compete with the fleets of any maritime power.

However, this does not include confrontation with the powerful ocean races that have lived in the ocean since birth. The sea and under the sea are basically two different dimensions. Attacks from under the sea are fatal to any warship. .

Unless it is a fleet composed entirely of floating ships, the kingdom currently does not have ten floating ships in total. They are all used by the big shots to show off their power and for daily travel. In his lifetime, it is estimated that Don't expect airships to appear on the battlefield.

"What do you think we came here to do?"

When the man heard this, he turned to look at the captain.

"Surrender to those Nagas?"

"No, I mean..."

"Drive over and don't make me do it a third time."

"yes."

Seeing how determined the man in front of him was, the captain could only sigh silently, silently pray to a sea god he believed in, and then carry out his orders.

"Your order is too reckless!"

Following the man's order, which was issued to every ship in the fleet, he was soon greeted by the voice of accusation, but it was a mage who was surrounded by the rich light of the azure element.

"You should know why I was able to walk out of the Governor's Mansion again and command the fleet again."

Seeing the support of the fleet in front of him, the man smiled nonchalantly.

"I know that you and Count Fana lost a child..."

"Your Excellency Meian, my child, before I saw his body, he was just missing and not dead. Please carefully consider every word you want to say."

The man stared closely at the powerful mage in front of him. The aura exuding from his body faintly condensed into the shape of a ferocious beast behind him, fighting against it without any weakness.

"I made a mistake, but you shouldn't have issued such an arrogant order. It would cause many ships to sink here, and many innocent crew members would die as a result."

"Whether my child is missing or something else happens, someone needs to pay the price."

The man no longer paid attention to the mage, but turned his gaze to the seemingly calm blue sea in the distance.

"I don't care who pays the price, I just need to pay a heavy enough price."

"you……"

The mage suddenly understood that the person who paid the price could be the sea monster that caused the sailor with noble blood to disappear, or it could be this fleet.

However, until this fleet cautiously sailed into the sea area ruled by Naga, it did not wait for any attack as imagined. Whether it was the magic cannon that was ready to go or the ballistae that had been loaded, none of them came into effect. due role.

The sea is still calm, without any terrifying sea monsters or sword-wielding giant snakes rushing out. The sea that passing ships have avoided for many years out of fear is as calm and docile as an ordinary bay at this moment.

"what happened?"

At this moment, the man who was originally full of troubles also noticed that something was wrong. He jumped up and walked forward in mid-air as if walking on flat ground. The light of blazing fighting spirit lingered on his body, letting him see He looks like an unrivaled king of war.

The man frowned, looking down at the ocean below, watching the warships chopping the wind and waves on the sea. Suddenly, he seemed to notice something, and his eyes were fixed on a sea area, but until the last transport ship Passing under his feet, there was no abnormality in the sea area, at least there was no abnormality in the sea.

"What do these Nagas want to do?"

The man returned to the flagship Blue Sea Dragon, and the questions that puzzled him lingered in his heart and troubled his mind.

He could conclude that there were still traces of Naga activities in this sea area, but these Nagas turned a blind eye to the troubles caused by their fleet.

Could it be that after so many years, these Nagas have changed their original ferocious nature of sinking ships when they encountered them? Or perhaps they were afraid of this fleet and therefore did not dare to attack. But how could this be possible?

"Something is very wrong!"

The mages accompanying the ship gathered together. The three mages headed by them were accompanied by rich elemental light in every move they made. Their casual eyes made people feel fearful and even trembling.

But these three soul-level mages, coupled with the magical amplification attack platform on the flagship, can be said to be the most important deterrent force of this fleet. In theory, the destructive power they can unleash is equivalent to that of a full-power The legendary mage who has been here for a long time.

Such power can come and go freely in most sea areas in the world without any worries, but this does not include the sea area ruled by Naga. According to records, there is more than one legendary Naga in this sea area. A power comparable to that of a legendary mage cannot be allowed to be unrestrained here.

"keep going!"

An unexpected anomaly occurred, but the man's determination remained firm. He wanted to bring the entire fleet to the last coordinates sent by his son's battleship before it disappeared. He wanted to see with his own eyes what was there.

He must give his wife and his wife's family a proper explanation. If that doesn't work, he can just leave the entire fleet here, or he can escape back with a few mages.

The fleet sailing on the calm sea was panicked, but after a long period of calm, the crew gradually regained their composure.

There are even ignorant and fearless people who boldly speculate that perhaps the Nagas in this sea area have suffered a major blow, so they dare not offend them again.

As this fleet gradually approached the coordinates of the missing warship, even the well-trained navy couldn't help but make noisy noises, because they saw the islands gradually emerging from the junction between the sea and the sky. It was an island not marked on the charts.

"Your Majesty the Governor."

The flagship captain came again to ask for instructions.

"You still need to ask me? Do you want me to turn a blind eye to those islands?"

"I'll send someone to conduct reconnaissance right now."

However, humans had just released a few reconnaissance ships and rushed towards the Sedellin Islands. The flying dragons flying over the islands had already discovered a large number of fleets coming with evil intentions.

Amidst the roars of the flying dragons, the news was quickly passed to the Sun Palace. At this time, Tyrell had just received the God's beloved Naga, Sidnia, who had returned from the deep sea.

However, this Naga did not bring the answer that the Naga Queen agreed to meet with him, but directly brought the result of the Naga Queen convening many Naga lords to discuss.

The Pomeranian Naga Kingdom agreed to allow all ships sailing to the Sedelling Islands to pass through, and would not destroy any ships sailing from the islands. However, during the voyage, these ships would be damaged by themselves and the marine herds, etc. We are not responsible for any risks caused by factors.

"Are you so taboo about meeting me?"

Although it was the result he wanted, Dirrell was not satisfied with the result because he really wanted to meet the Naga Queen. Unfortunately, it was not known whether this Naga Queen sensed something. , has been avoiding him, as if avoiding him.
