Ferrum boarded Throne on Agate City.
Even among noble spellcasters, there is a distinction between noble and more noble.
The caster of Golden Grain City only transformed the castle for Ferrum. Agate City not only transformed the castle for Ferrum, but also cast a dragon Throne for him.
The mages directly extracted the rock from the foundation of the castle and reconstructed it using stone shaping, alchemy and solidification techniques to build a twenty-meter-long obsidian throne.
Throne is very wide and deep, enough to accommodate a giant species lying prone, and is embellished with gold to complement Ferrum's status as a conqueror.
"We once served as the great magicians of the palace, and our ancestors served the kings of Tagoma."
"And Golden Grain City's mage, after all, is just a mud-legged person. His ancestors were all farmers. How can he understand what the ruler is thinking and be as noble as us?"
Agate City's spell casters all say so.
Their pride is well founded.
Golden Grain City relies on agriculture as its mainstay, and the city is full of barns, stables and crop markets.
When Ferrum was waiting to attack, he could still see the large fields outside Golden Grain City that had been harvested in advance.
The shape of Agate City is completely different. It is located at the junction of Westerlands and Royal Domain. The connection between Capital and Westerlands, the capital of Greyhawk City, must always be collected and distributed at Agate City first.
All major roads intersect here, bringing wealth and goods from all directions. There are countless shops lined up on the streets. There are always mule carts and pack horses waiting to enter the city outside the city, even during wars.
In comparison, its city defense was more complete than that of Golden Grain City. Even if Ferrum planned to mobilize the main force of Agate City to leave, and then led an army of 20,000 to seize the city, it would still cost 1,200 casualties.
After that, Wilderness Warband immediately took over the city defense, waiting for the counterattack from the Agate City Corps.
The enemy did not appear for a long time.
It was not until the afternoon of the next day that Ferrum received news that Apostle was leading his army to retreat to Greyhawk City. The army finally relaxed its guard and truly began to gradually take over the town.
The transfer of power was smoother than expected. Although bloodshed occasionally occurred, the wars between noble lords had made the Tagoma people accustomed to the turbulent changes in power.
Many people have even experienced the chaotic era when rulers were changed four times in a year, and have seen noble lords more cruel than Giant Dragon.
Therefore, after losing the army, the city did not put up much unnecessary resistance.
""The Old Chronicle of Tagoma" records that the crowns changed in chaos, Westerlands changed the flag, and Loren Ferens unified Westerlands and claimed to be the king of Westerlands. He was not invited by other lords."
"Since the conquests decades ago can make Farlance Lineage orthodox because of time, then the conquests of Giant Dragon today only lack time."
After meeting Giant Dragon, the bachelors of Agate City began to preach this truth to the local residents.
This war was called "Midsummer Eastern Campaign" by Ashmark Lineage, "Wilderness Invasion" by Tagoma Royal Family, and "Giant Dragon Unification War" in the occupied Golden Grain City and Agate City areas.
Of course, there are still many people who are dissatisfied with the rule of Giant Dragon and only maintain superficial obedience. They believe that the Westerlands army is still intact. Farlance Lineage, Beoranz Lineage and Royal Family will not sit back and watch the dragons occupy the big city for a long time. The real war has not yet begun.
Ferrum knows this very well.
According to the previous framework of Golden Grain City, he appointed Hidorivi as the co-manager of Agate City Governor and In Tas. The positions of other powerful people among the dragons are still vacant.
After consideration, Ferrum decided to make Agate City the main base of the legion, because this city has greater strategic significance and cannot be lost once it is captured.
On the other hand, the main enemies he faces now are still Westerlands and Royal Domain. As for Southern Territories, he can hold off relatively because of the existence of Olysia, and there is still room for delaying the negotiation.
He sent five thousand steps Warband to Golden Grain City for rotation, recalled the elite Vanguard Army, entered Agate City to replace them with better weapons and armor, and by the way, asked Wyvern Cavalry to bring Olysia back with him.
In the north, the Zane legion bloodbathed Northern Plains, brought a large number of defeated troops to surrender, and used them as an advance guard to push them directly under Deepstone City, and began to storm the heavily guarded Deepstone City.
By gathering the power of Great Dragon, the fall of that mining city is inevitable.
As the South Legion that was the first to achieve victory, the pace has now slowed down. The tense nerves of Juvenile Dragon have finally relaxed. Next, it is their turn to sit tight and wait for the attack from Tagoma.
Ferrum's work is step by step, counting and sharing the war gains, passing on some intelligence, arranging some plans, and interrogating some prisoners.
When it's almost dark, "Unbeaten Shield" Lalis enters Lord's Castle.
In the transformed giant palace, Juvenile Dragon were lying prone, looking calm. The interrogation of the surrendered citizens and prisoners had come to an end, and Lalis was the last one.
Lalis looked at it a few times and felt a little frightened.
She learned how to fight in street fights since she was a child, suppressed three noble rebellions, and fought with the dwarves in the north. She once resisted the roaring rebels alone under a collapsed city gate, and experienced countless battles.
As a believer of Goddess of Vengeance, Lalis has always boasted of strength and courage, claiming to have killed countless people.
But when the tall palace door slowly opened, Juvenile Dragon with different scales came into view, and feeling the stagnant momentum on their bodies, Lalis was shocked to find that each of these dragons killed countless people.
And above them, in the center of the huge obsidian Throne, a Golden-Eyed Black Dragon is quietly entrenched.
Ferrum·Solaxus.
In addition, Lalis also saw a white-haired elf, who also lowered his eyes and stared at her.
Olysia sighed quietly in his heart, remembering what Ferrum once said to himself.
"Lya, Lya, who is the most beautiful woman Tagoma Kingdom?"
"Probably the queen."
"Your queen is fifty-one years old, which is already an old man for Short-lived Species. I am not interested. What I like is young girls. I heard that Tagoma Kingdom also has a female hero named Lalis. Who is more beautiful, her or you?"
"Lalis and I have only met once. She was born as a commoner. After many battles, she rose from an ordinary guard to become the king's iron guard, and then was awarded the title Unbeaten Shield. Tagoma people are talking about her story. I think she should be better."
Ferrum looked at the prisoner and found that she was indeed a good-looking woman. Because of her unruly expression, she actually had a wild beauty.
"Unbeaten Shield Lalis, someone once told me about your deeds. She said that you are Tagoma Kingdom's most famous hero. You are known as undefeated. No matter what anyone does, no one can surpass your bravery."
Golden-Eyed Black Dragon's voice was flat and low. "But I think this title is not good. We warriors are fighting on Battlefield with millions of people. Failure means death. To say that we are undefeated, everyone and every dragon here can claim to be undefeated."
Lalis remained silent. She knew that Giant Dragon just wanted to suppress her fighting spirit, so she never spoke.
"Unbeaten Shield, now you have failed and your shield has been broken. I said before that failure means death, but this time I can make an exception. I am willing to promise you a chance to live."
Ferrum said, "I am very happy to be able to capture such a target alive from Battlefield. I am short of soldiers in my guard, and I hope you can fill up a spot."
Lalis looked at him. The heroic and tall Nether Dragon had left Throne and slowly came closer. Lalis could even feel the wind caused by his breath.
In the previous battle to defend the city, it was this Golden-Eyed Black Dragon that repeatedly snapped and struck, directly smashing its own giant rune shield with its claw toes.
"I will never become Evil Dragon's slave."
Lalis held his head up proudly.
"We are not Evil Dragon, we are Heavy-Metal Dragon. I have emphasized this time and again since coming to this land."
Ferrum shook his head. "Being a dragon slave is essentially the same as being a human slave. What's more, we still have real power, keep our promises, and have noble courage and determination. Giant Dragon's rule accepts both civilians and nobles regardless of origin or origin. As long as you show your ability, you can be promoted."
"You use conspiracy to seize the city, but do you dare to claim to be noble?"
"We despise conspiracy, but the art of war is not among them. Become my guard, and soon you will know our character and creed. From now on, you no longer have to obey Holy Temple. We have a new War God Temple, and you no longer have to be loyal to any nobles and kings. Giant Dragon is your only king.
Ferrum said, "I agree to give preferential treatment to surrendered citizens and prisoners because I need local people to help me manage the town, resettle the citizens and restore order. The sooner those who surrender to me will have a higher status in the Dragon Kingdom in the future. If it is delayed until the later stages of the war, I will not give such generous treatment and promises."
"You man-eating beasts invaded Tagoma Kingdom from the wilderness."
Lalis said, "Now tell me, you didn't kill me and gave me the opportunity to be loyal to you, but was it a kind of preferential treatment?"
"Stop being ridiculous."
She said sternly, "One day humans will defeat the dragons and defeat the arrogance of you."
Ferrum looked at her. "I do not refute some of the facts. We are conquerors, and it is natural for us to be called invaders by our enemies. However, there is a difference between invasion and invasion. What the family does in the north is not what I want to see. I need more forces to join in to strengthen my voice. For you, this will help reduce casualties."
Lalis was startled, but she did not expect that the other party would say such words. Before the fall of Agate City, she had also heard about the war in the north, which was a bloodbath Northern Plains of looting and massacre.
She was a believer of Goddess of Vengeance and didn't care about robbery and massacre. Unexpectedly, these dragons spoke out solemnly.
Lalis looked at the dragons around him. There were two Iron Dragon, one Chrome Dragon, Cobalt Dragon and Feather Dragon. They all looked a little moved and showed slightly thoughtful expressions.
After a while, she gave her own reply, "I would rather die than become Evil Dragon's minion. I will fight with you to the end, as long as I am still alive."
Ferrum didn't take it seriously and turned his head to the side. "Bachelor, have we recorded the conversation we just had?"
"Exactly, my lord." A young Agate City bachelor replied.
"Okay."
Ferrum nodded slightly, then stretched out his claw toes and penetrated Lalis.
"Hoo..."
Lalis's eyes widened, Giant Dragon's attack came without warning. Even though she had been prepared to die long ago, when the huge pain and death came together, the human hero still felt a little unbelievable.
Olysia also had pupil tremors and finally stood up directly.
"Did you think we were here for an outing Tagoma?"
Ferrum calmly retracted his paws and shook off the blood on his toes. "Giant Dragon gives preferential treatment to prisoners and surrendered civilians, but for die-hard resisters, this is what happens. Make a notice of what I just said and put it up, and drag her body out to parade in the streets. Let's disperse. That's it for today."
