The natural empire of ocean dragons

Chapter 229 The Five Tiger Generals of Attilan

In order to prevent himself from degenerating into a shameless politician, Attilan felt that it was better not to be so shameless in helping Vereesa establish her own forest kingdom.

If he goes too far now, how can he bring Wen Lei into his camp in the future?

The empire of nature was not built in a day or by just one dragon.

The Kingdom of Atlantis is just the beginning. In the future, it will walk on two legs: war, annexation and political union.

Like the dwarf kingdom that he already had considerable contact with, and the forest kingdom that Vereesa was about to establish, Attilan planned to first form a political alliance with these two kingdoms and the kingdom he established.

The United Kingdom of Natural Alliance, or United Empire.

Without strong external pressure or internal voices for unity, it would not be easy to implement a United Kingdom like Attilan's annexation.

Originally, the country could have the final say on its own, but who would want to suddenly have an extra person taking care of itself, and who also needs to provide resources?

It seems that the area governed by Vereesa is integrated with the Water Elf Kingdom in the form of offerings. In the past, the mage system of the Mage King and the druid system of Vereesa relied on everyone to be united into one country by being wood elves.

Now we can also use the Druid camp as the core to unite into a country.

Therefore, convincing the Archdruid is the key to whether he can eat Vereesa, more than 50,000 wood elves, and the land that spans 200,000 to 300,000 square kilometers from east to west.

If the archdruid dies, it will be easier for Attilan to annex the wood elf ranger forces.

But for the sake of the Nature Council, the Wood Elf Archdruid is very valuable to win over, even if she is a little bit repulsive to the Druids who do not believe in the gods of nature.

But Attilan believed that as long as he was given enough, the Archdruid would be willing to turn to the Natural Council.

Just like Attilan sent troops to help Vereesa, Vereesa paid four times the price, and his troops dared to charge against the spell bombardment of the mage group.

Food is an important strategic resource in any era.

As the food output from Atlantis' farmland increased, it could no longer keep up with the consumption of their growing population, and the wood elves were willing to use large amounts of food to hire them to fight.

Any warrior hopes to be selected to fight instead of staying at home and farming.

Every time a war is won, Attilan will give rewards to the soldiers who participated in the battle. Warriors who fight bravely and have outstanding records can also be personally commended by Attilan.

Part of the reason why people's hearts are floating is that after Attilan went into retreat, many rewards that required Attilan to provide magic power could not be produced. The rewards have deteriorated, and everyone is naturally unhappy.

"Dragon Lord, after arranging soldiers to guard the east and west sides, how many more soldiers can you send to go south with me to resist the Mage King's attack?"

Attilan frowned.

"Didn't you say that you want to expand your army first, attack the dark elves' dungeons, and rescue the abducted civilians?"

Vereesa snorted coldly and crushed the grapes in her hand into puree.

"I know the Mage King best. Once I disobey his order and expand the number of ranger troops to more than 5,000, he will definitely send troops north to reprimand me."

"If I still don't dismiss the extra soldiers, he will send out troops to wipe out all the ranger troops, leaving only me."

Vereesa shook her head again.

"If something happens to grandma, I don't think he will wait for me to make a mistake. I'm afraid he will just send troops quietly and wipe out me and all the ranger troops."

Attilan's eyes narrowed and he asked worriedly:

"Is Archdruid okay?"

The smile on Vereesa's lips was a little bitter.

"I don't know. Breaking through the legendary druid is definitely risky. Grandma may be using problematic props prepared by the Mage King in advance. But as a level 12 ranger, I can't do anything at all."

Attilan comforted:

"Don't worry, we can't do anything, but we can ask other great druids and legendary druids to help, which will definitely help Grandma You get through the difficulties smoothly."

Leopard Girl also clapped her hands.

"Yes, as long as Master Gianna is willing to take action, your grandma will definitely be fine."

"But... grandma said that she doesn't want to get involved too much with the Natural Parliament."

Leopard Girl pouted angrily and slapped the table hard.

"Your grandma is about to die, and you're still worrying about this?"

Attilan raised his hand to signal Leopard Girl to calm down.

"I know that the great druid is worried about not being able to ascend to the kingdom of the God of Nature after death, but I think that instead of worrying about the problems after death, we should first think about how to live a good life. "

"Besides, is the Emerald Dream of our Nature Council really worse than the Kingdom of the God of Nature?"

"Also, if your grandma gets the secret technique of the Natural Council, she might be able to successfully break through the legend. Then she might be able to live for thousands more years."

"If you can live for thousands of years, is it so important whether you can go to the Kingdom of the God of Nature or not?"

After Attilan's attack, Vereesa suddenly felt that it made sense. If she could live forever, she would not need to consider whether she could go to the Kingdom of the God of Nature.

"You have grown up, and you can make your own decisions on some things. Whether or not to ask the legendary Druid of the Natural Council to take action, you can completely think from the perspective of your personal wishes."

"What do you think?"

Vereesa nodded and said:

"Then I beg you, please ask Master Gianna to go to the secret realm of nature to help my grandma."

Attilan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Vereesa curiously.

"What is this secret natural place you are talking about?"

Vereesa looked at Attilan with a little pride and explained:

"My grandma was able to establish this kingdom in the first place only because she received some blessings from the gods of nature and defeated the monsters that originally occupied this land."

"The remaining divine power of the God of Nature turned into an oak seed. After this oak grew up, it gradually broke away from the real world. Using the oak itself as the foundation, it absorbed the four elements in the void to form a dimensional space."

"Because I can better appreciate the power of the God of Nature, my grandma often meditates and practices in this natural secret."

Hiss, it seems that persuading the Archdruid to turn to the Natural Council is unrealistic. As expected, we still need to use Vereesa and refer to the methods of the heroes of Liangshan to directly turn the Archdruid up the mountain.

Once the established facts were established, it was not the fault of the Natural Council to throw dirty water on her. It was the Natural Council camp that her granddaughter voluntarily joined. As Vereesa's grandmother, she was naturally dragged into the water.

If the Archdruid is betting on the God of Nature, then the Mage King lineage is most likely betting on the Goddess of Magic.

Sure enough, it is not that easy for the Natural Parliament to occupy the entire world.

If his natural empire were to be fully owned by the Natural Parliament, it might be more difficult than he thought to annex other kingdoms, and he might have to fight.

Speaking of which, although Attilan had promised Vereesa to send troops to quell the rebellion, he had just come out of seclusion and didn't even know how many people he had under his command or how many combat-ready troops he could draw.

The meal was almost done. I believed that Vereesa still had a lot of work to do, so he would not waste Vereesa's time and leave immediately.

Just when he was about to speak, Attilan suddenly thought of a good idea to delay time for him to practice his troops.

"Vereesa, since you will be monitored by the Mage King if you form a new corps within the Water Elf Kingdom, then you won't be discovered if you form a new corps directly outside the kingdom."

"I have an idea, do you want to hear it?"

Vereesa gave him a roll of her eyes.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. Aren't you tired of pretending like this?"

"Ahem... Since you want to hear it, I will reluctantly tell you. You first recruit recruits from the civilians under your rule. Remember to publicize the tragic situation of this city in advance to arouse everyone's indignation."

"Then, in addition to the troops that are officially added to the old regiment, you can send other qualified troops to go all the way north to my territory for training."

"It just so happens that the weapons made by the dwarf blacksmith can be used directly by them without my help. As for the instructors of the new regiment..."

"You directly select your confidants and fire them for poor performance in this war. At the same time, you report more battle losses, so that on the surface you only have 5,000 people."

"But secretly, you can use these veterans to form a ranger regiment of 5,000 people. At the same time, because there are too many new soldiers, you can use the excuse to ask the Mage King to allocate a batch of equipment."

"It's best to take the replenished ranger troops south and let the Mage King take a look. After this battle, you and the ranger troops have nothing to worry about."

Vereesa gave Attilan a thumbs-up gesture.

"It seemed like just one idea, but you gave me three ideas. The Dragon Lord is really awesome."

Hiding the truth from the sky, taking empty pay and pensions, showing weakness to the enemy.

"Since the Ranger Force is a force recognized by the Mage King, it is too much for him not to send troops for rescue. It is impossible that he does not even plan to provide pensions, right?"

"If you need to pay for the pension yourself, Vereesa, do you still have the resources to form a new regiment?"

Don't tell me, Vereesa really doesn't have it, especially after spending a lot of money to hire Attilan's troops to act as shields, Vereesa is no longer as willing to sell food to the Mage King at low prices as before.

Attilan felt that the price he was asking for was high, but Vereesa was not stupid. After calculations by her and her lieutenants, she sold the grain to Attilan and purchased weapons from the dwarf kingdom.

The profit is actually three to five times that of selling to the Mage King.

"It's really a bit worse."

"Let's do this. You first meet the daily rations of the troops I send. As for the additional payment, I allow you to pay it in installments, but the installment payment will definitely be a little more than the one-time payment."

"You think that's okay?"

"What does installment payment mean? Dragon Master, please tell me specifically."

Vereesa could roughly understand what Attilan meant, but she didn't understand the specific process of this installment payment.

After Attilan finished explaining, Vereesa waved her hand.

"No problem. Since the use of iron farm tools made by dwarves, our farmland and food production have actually increased. The previous wooden farm tools can be used, but the efficiency is definitely not as good as the iron ones."

<divclass="contentadv">Attilan asked curiously:

"How much farmland do you have?"

"If we follow Lord Dragon's calculations, the amount of farmland we own should have increased from the original six million acres to eight million acres."

"Because we need to plant and rest every year, the actual farmland area used is only 4 million. Even because of the farmers' rough management, the yield of green wheat per acre is less than 200 kilograms."

"But Dragon Lord, don't worry. In this difficult time, I can no longer care about the fertility of the land. I will make up for the food gap for you as soon as possible."

Attilan raised his eyebrows. He did not expect that the wood elves' food production was so much higher than he thought. It seems that it may not be so easy to use debt relationships to intervene in the future forest kingdom.

Hey, how about he stop tricking Vereesa into founding a kingdom and just let her join his kingdom of Atlantis with people and land?

It doesn't seem impossible. Vereesa, a girl, usually likes to hone her ranger skills and encircle local peace. She is not that enthusiastic about establishing and governing a country.

If the Wizard King hadn't bullied others too much, Vereesa would probably have been just a ranger general her whole life.

"Don't worry, next year's grain production will definitely exceed one billion catties!"

Mader, if there is less, even if Attilan sends 30,000 troops to help Vereesa and the Mage King fight for a year, the food she needs to pay is less than one billion.

It only takes Veresa two years to pay off this debt.

With an annual output of one billion, the food requirements of the wood elves must be eliminated. People eat and horses chew. The wood elf ranger needs to consume even more food in a day than a man and a horse.

"Then Leopard Girl and I will go back and prepare. Whenever you need someone, just send someone to tell me in advance, and we will go back first."

After returning to Greenscale Town, Attilan told the old fishman about his deal with Vereesa. The old fishman was so excited that he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage.

"Lord Dragon, we are rich!"

"Isn't it just a business of about one billion kilograms of grain a year? Why are you excited? This will require almost all our soldiers to be dispatched, and may even affect our own grain production."

The old fish man took a deep breath to slow down the beating speed of his heart that shouldn't be at his age.

"Dragon Master, you know that the ration share is already in the past. In the past, the tauren only needed to eat ten kilograms of grain a day. Now, after several years of training, those guys have completely become nothing more than food."

"Lista divided the tauren into three combat corps and a logistics corps. The combat corps are all adult tauren, regardless of gender. They are divided into one, two and three according to their combat effectiveness."

"Then the three thousand tauren in the First Corps are naturally the elite among the elite, but here comes the problem. Just because they are the elite, we must at least feed them every day, right?"

"The worst guy there can eat twenty kilograms of wheat flour a day. If there is a supply of pork, he can eat a little less, but how much pork can we have?"

"So edible!?"

Attilan was shocked. In this world, food intake and combat effectiveness are directly proportional. This is true at least for the two professions of warrior and barbarian.

"How are Lista and Fisher eating now?"

"Lista eats ten kilograms of fat pork, fifty kilograms of wheat, ten kilograms of various fruits, and a small barrel of wine a day. Fisher is almost the same as Lista except that he doesn't drink."

"When barbarians reach a certain level, their appetite no longer increases, and their bodies gradually learn to absorb energy from the outside world to supplement their body needs."

Attilan nodded. He only ate to replenish the energy his body needed. He had long since starved himself to death while sleeping. At a certain level, he could not directly absorb energy to replenish his body's needs.

That's probably useless, there's no possibility for this guy to go any further.

"I heard that the Dragon Lord has awakened. Lista, Fisher, Zhui Feng, and Connors have rushed back. Would the Dragon Lord want to meet them?"

"Of course, they are all my confidants! By the way, why didn't you hear Opelia's name?"

The old fish man searched his forehead with a headache.

"She, Mep, and Trina went back to Mep's hometown together. They have been gone for almost half a year, and they are probably coming back soon."

"If Maple hadn't returned home to visit relatives, the old blind man wouldn't have been so ready to take action."

Attilan smiled. He didn't expect that this guy Maple really had two skills. When he appointed him as the prime minister, he really showed his strength as the prime minister.

"Okay, what are you doing back home?"

"I heard that he is planning to marry Trina. Although he and his father are at loggerheads, he still feels it is necessary to talk to his father about such a big matter as marriage."

"Marriage is a matter between the two of them, why should Opelia follow?"

The old fish man smiled.

"Opea said that she is just such a sister and cannot be bullied by satyrs. At the same time, the Fairy Forest is in the North Kingdom, and the Dragon Lord will take action against the North Kingdom sooner or later."

"She will take the snake people to arrange one or two first. When Long takes the initiative to send troops, it will be easier to take over the North Kingdom."

Attilan slapped the ground in appreciation.

"As expected of Opea, you did a great job. I do have plans to attack the North Kingdom. If Vereesa hadn't needed me to send more troops to the Water Elf Kingdom."

"After I come back this time to count my troops and train for a while, I will go north to attack the North Kingdom."

The old fish man chuckled.

"Lord Dragon, help General Vereesa fight for a year. We will have enough supplies to fight the Northern Kingdom in the next three years. We won't lose anything."

"According to my calculations, General Vereesa may need to pay us three billion kilograms of grain, which is enough to feed the Dragon Lord's losers for three years."

"Get me something to eat. The taste is a little stronger. The wood elves' food is delicious, but it's a bit too bland. The green wheat they grow and the bread they make have a grassy taste."

How should I put it, the taste of green wheat bread may be similar to the grass cake that Lazy likes to eat, because the wood elves have paired the bread with a cheese made from the milk of the woodhorn sheep they breed.

It tastes more like grass cake.

While Attilan was eating, the tauren Lista, the fishman Fisher, the centaur Chasing the Wind, and the lizardman Connors came in and bowed their heads respectfully.

"Meet the Dragon Lord!"

"Have you eaten? Let's eat some together?"

Lista stepped forward and pulled off a thigh from the roasted pig without ceremony.

"Thank you Dragon Lord, I happen to be a little hungry."

"You are all eating with your hands. Do you want me to entertain you with my own hands?"

When Attilan said this, Fisher and the others immediately stepped forward to pull the meat from the roasted pig and eat it.

"Connors, you are very smart. I originally thought that you would be the most dishonest person after I fell asleep, but I didn't expect that you are smarter than I thought, and you have restrained the lizard people you command."

"Let me think about it, what would be a better reward for you?"

The lizard man immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly and respectfully:

"This is what I should do. The Dragon Lord does not need rewards. Following the Dragon Lord is the most correct decision I have made in my life!"

What's the good thing about being a lizardman king? Every day you have to think about how to feed everyone in the tribe, and you also have to worry about attacks from other tribes around you, and you may even have your head chopped off by your subordinates.

Since surrendering to Attilan, the lizardmen have become very popular.

With the lizard man's craftsmanship, let alone making wine, he can even make half-cooked barbecue.

In the past, Connors could tolerate eating raw food, but now that he has taken refuge in Attilan and lived a civilized life, how could he be willing to be a barbarian king if you asked him to.

Whether it is a household registration in the capital or a foreign household registration in a remote area, everyone knows how to choose.

"Eat something. Please report to me how many warriors you have each. You don't know exactly how many children there are. So you know how many warriors there are that can fight, right?"

Lista slapped his chest and shouted excitedly:

"Dragon Lord, we tauren have 8437 warriors who can serve the Dragon Lord at any time!"

Fisher was much calmer than him.

"There are 11347 fishmen warriors, but there are less than mature warriors. Most of them are recruits who have just come of age and have not had enough training time."

Zhui Feng was a little embarrassed. The old blind man was keeping statistics on how many warriors the men and horses could fight. He only knew that the 3,000 men and horses he commanded were all elites.

"Dragon Lord, as long as you give an order, no matter how powerful the enemy is, I can lead all my troops to crush them!"

"How many warriors are there in Centaur? I hope you won't be unable to answer when I ask you next time. From today on, you will be responsible for managing all Centaur warriors."

"Old Blind Eye is getting older. From now on, he should still do some stable logistics work. Don't go to the battlefield. Serve for me. I will definitely let him spend his old age safely and comfortably."

Zhui Feng clenched his fists excitedly.

"Yes, Dragon Lord! I will count the number of warriors when I get back!"

Connors said respectfully:

"The Lizardmen have 4557 warriors. Counting the hatched cubs, the total number is more than . In another five years, the Dragon Lord will have at least a thousand more Lizardmen warriors."

"How many warriors do the snake men have? Did Opelia tell who would be responsible for managing them before she left?"

The old fish man stepped forward and said:

"Lord Dragon, I am in charge. Opelia took away five hundred elites and almost four thousand warriors. Most of them came from the rain forest or from the east of the rain forest."

"Then did they say what forces are outside the rain forest?"

"They don't know very well. Anyway, humans, elves, dwarves, and hobgoblins can all be seen in the east. There doesn't seem to be a unified kingdom."

Attilan squinted his eyes and tapped his dragon claw on the table.

"I don't care for the moment, but in the future, that land is still waiting for Lista, Fisher, Zhui Feng, Connors, and Opea who is not here to help me capture it."

"Remember, you five are my five most trusted generals!"
