The fighting lasted only half a day. After Giant Dragon climbed over the city wall and destroyed Holy Temple of Golden Grain City, this vast city no longer had the power to resist, and could only be ravaged like a captured woman.
As Wyvern Cavalry's hands swept past, Rose Banner and Wheat-Ear Banner in the town were chopped down one after another, and were uniformly replaced by Giant Dragon's Bloodfire battle flag, symbolizing Ferrum Legion's full takeover of Golden Grain City.
At dusk, Ferrum landed at Lord's Castle.
The surrendered casters reacted faster. When Nether Dragon arrived, they had already used "Stone Shaping" and "Grafting" to transform the castle, transforming the original Count's Mansion into a tall and broad palace that was convenient for Giant Dragon to walk around. They also cleaned up the internal debris at an extremely fast speed and simply decorated it to welcome the city's new owner.
In recent days, Ferrum has been troubled by a huge body. This kind of residence is exactly what he needs, and it is completely to his liking.
"Very good."
He is worthy of being a noble spell caster. He can stand firm and prosper in the face of any ruler in any era.
Nether Dragon met Golden Grain City Earl who surrendered in the palace. After a few words, he asked him to go back and wait for his fate.
Ferrum has obtained this city, but the subsequent takeover of the rule is the real problem, and arrangements must be made immediately.
The Tagoma defenders had been destroyed, with more than 4,000 casualties, but Wild Clans charged against various city defense equipment, and the losses were also considerable, with more than 2,000 dead and injured.
At this moment, Golden Grain City is in great chaos, with smoke rising from all over the city. Even though Ferrum repeatedly emphasized military discipline, seeing the fall of the big city, the clan warriors from the wilderness still couldn't control themselves. They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil, and many were killing prisoners to vent their anger.
Giant Dragon cannot sit idly by.
After calculating the time, Ferrum climbed to the top of the castle, raised his head and let out a long chant, summoning all his companions to come War Council.
So the Juvenile Dragons scattered everywhere returned one after another, flapping their membrane wings, and fell into the giant palace one after another.
"Boom."
Kेलaili finally arrived, and the sound of landing was as heavy as thunder.
The caster demolished all the wooden walls and partitions, and the big house was open enough to accommodate Giant Dragon running and rolling, but Juvenile Dragon were surprisingly quiet after arriving. No one spoke, they just exchanged glances.
They captured Golden Grain City.
This is the first time Juvenile Dragon has accomplished something big on his own since he left Great Dragon. Although the city's resistance is far less tenacious than imagined, it still makes the dragons inexplicably excited, as if a brand new world has opened up.
"We captured Golden Grain City."
Ferrum confirmed this fact and looked at his companions. "This is a great result, and the family will also get this good news. However, the current war is not over yet, and we have not encountered a strong enemy yet, so everyone cannot relax yet. I have a few things that I want you to do now."
"Yes."
Juvenile Dragon responded in a deep voice, excited but also sober.
"Gax, you are responsible for gathering Warband, recalling the centurions, and building military camps around the two squares in the town to calm the troops from attacks and massacres, and not allow burning, looting, and wanton destruction."
"Understood."
"Barloz, you take Frost Dragon and the guards to control various noble residences, military granaries and chambers of commerce warehouses. These are the concentration of large amounts of wealth and can easily be robbed by soldiers and locals. This is our stuff. No one is allowed to tamper with it, otherwise they will be killed directly."
"Received."
"Moqi, I opened the treasury of the city lord's palace. You, Yazi and Mountain Goblin, take out the gold and silver inside and take it directly to the military camp set up by Gax. Cooperate with Gax to distribute rewards to the soldiers in the amount of ten gold coins per person."
"Distribute rewards now?"
Because of their close relationship, Moqi had some objections. "But we haven't even had time to count the harvest. Our companions didn't get anything. There's no reason to reward the family members first."
"It didn't happen before, but now it does. We are noble dragons who can control our own bodies and desires, but the warriors of Wild Clans are different. We can't ask too much of them. I promised them rewards after they attack the city, and I will honor it immediately."
Ferrum replied, looking at his companions. "Of course, if you have something you are eager to get, I won't stop you, but don't delay our actions."
Juvenile Dragons shook their heads one after another. Heavy-Metal Dragon's system often followed their primitive instincts. If the leader did not take the spoils, other dragons would not be able to restrain themselves and rashly snatch them.
"Bearfolk leader Kane also entrusts you with the task of moving some cattle and sheep wine barrels to the market and wine cellar to reward the whole army."
Ferrum continued to say to Moqi, "In addition, Vanguard Army's reward is more generous. I promised before that each person can get a hundred gold coins, but Golden Grain City is only the first Step, whatever the soldiers want, try to satisfy them, but don't let them drink alcohol or touch women. If the prostitutes in the city come to them, they will be chased away, because soon I may have to break camp again with the Vanguard Army and go to Agate City Battlefield, in short, appease them as soon as possible and let them calm down and rest."
"Received." Moqi said.
"Nipo, Gern and Heias."
Ferrum looked at Little Cobalt Dragon and the only two remaining Tungsten Dragon: "I appoint Nipo as the new Golden Grain City Governor, Gern and Heias will assist in the internal affairs. Let all the original officials of Golden Grain City report to your place to take over the administration as soon as possible and restore the operation of the town."
"Nipo Governor?"
Little Cobalt Dragon pointed at himself. "Real or false?"
"If you feel that you are not capable enough, I can replace you with someone else." Ferrum said in a calm voice.
"I can definitely do it."
Nipo answered loudly.
If Ferrum wasn't arranging the overall situation and giving orders, she would have liked to jump up and hug Nether Dragon and kiss her hard.
Ferrum shifted his gaze again. "Kelo."
Nickel Dragon was startled. He was inconspicuous in the Juvenile Dragon group. He didn't expect to have his own affairs.
"You have two things, one is to guard and interrogate the prisoners, and the other is to recruit some locals as subordinates, exchange money for information, and let them report and reveal secrets in all aspects. After the conquest, we can get new sources of intelligence. From now on, you will do these things."
"No problem!"
Kelo looked refreshed, this kind of thing is not difficult for him to handle.
Ferrum looked at him, but there was no Gray Spot on Kelo's head. Nether Dragon sighed in his heart and looked away.
A rough governance framework was quickly established.
When waiting for the arrival of Warband in the wild, Ferrum was not flirting with the elves in the big tent. Before capturing Golden Grain City, he had already imagined the aftermath of the conquest in his mind.
Now that Jelierion, Hidorivi, In Tas and Afterglow are all outside the city, Ferrum must call on other people. Fortunately, the companions are all familiar with each other, and the family has begun to cultivate their abilities from an early age.
Lost Wilderness's experience is enough to equip Juvenile Dragon with talent.
Although the little dragons are a little unfamiliar with human cities, they are not at a loss.
In fact, there are still Kेलaili and Nili who have not been arranged. However, as the truly powerful among the dragons, Ferrum cannot give them positions, because as news about Agate City comes one after another, he may take them on another journey at any time.
Ferrum ended the arrangement and looked at all his companions again with gentle and calm eyes. "We are noble dragons, but we must also keep pace with the times. The era of barbaric rule has passed. We want to build a real Dragon Kingdom, so I hope that everyone can do their work more carefully."
He lowered his head slightly and bowed his head in a dragon-like Etiquette salute. "Scattered Fire Sets the Plains Ablaze."
The expressions of all the dragons became solemn, and they also bowed their heads and responded in a deep voice, "Scattered Fire Sets the Plains Ablaze."
