The territory suddenly expanded several times over, and the population under its jurisdiction reached nearly 10,000!

Su Qing was both satisfied and troubled. He was satisfied with the surge in his wealth, which had reached nearly 150,000, giving him almost double the power.

The improvement of one's strength is always a joy.

However, he is also troubled by the lack of management talent under his command. Old Sam is now so busy that he has no time to spare. Even Irene has been pulled away to do chores. Now, only little Mary is left to clean his scales.

So frustrating!

Su Qing sighed and pondered whether to open an academy to teach people literacy and management skills.

After all, his territory will definitely continue to expand, and the shortage of talent to handle various affairs will become increasingly larger.

It can still function with difficulty now, but it will definitely become paralyzed as the territory continues to expand.

However, now that we've just taken over the territory, once everything has settled down, we can try opening an academy that specializes in teaching these things.

They left the castle, flew down to a hill, and looked down at their territory.

This is the empire I conquered!

Swish, swish, swish!

Hearing the noise, Su Qing lowered her gaze and saw a figure not far away, holding a sword and concentrating on practicing swordsmanship.

That person was Alan. After experiencing that battle, he became even more diligent and hardworking, cultivating almost every moment.

Su Qing watched intently, observing the sword technique with great interest.

It was a set of sword techniques that were wide and sweeping, as swift as the wind and as fast as thunder. Although the name of the sword technique was unknown, Alan had clearly mastered it to a very high level. However, he seemed to have hit a bottleneck and was unable to break through.

Alan stopped his swordplay, frowned, and pondered. For some reason, he found that his swordsmanship seemed to have made no progress at all during this period of time.

It was as if a wall had appeared in front of him, and he had to break through it to continue.

"Is there something wrong with my cultivation?"

Alan murmured, perhaps he should ask his teacher.

Just then, I looked up and saw a giant dragon flapping its wings and flying down from a distant hill.

She wore black scale armor and a blue bow tie, watching him silently.

"What's the name of your sword technique?"

Su Qing asked curiously, while adjusting the blue bow tie around her neck.

"Wind and Thunder Sword Technique!"

Alan answered calmly, showing that he no longer had many thoughts about this dragon lord.

I'm only serving for ten years, while my teacher's service starts at twenty. No matter how you look at it, I'm the one who's making a profit!

Su Qing nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and carefully spoke: "I saw that your move just now was powerful and fierce. Although it had the burst of lightning, it lacked the elegance of the wind. You can try to change it, perhaps it will have an effect."

Alan was slightly taken aback, but then realized that it made sense, so he began to practice his swordsmanship again.

This time, he restrained his strength, focusing on the speed and technique of the sword.

This time, the sword was like a ghost, but the power it unleashed was not much less than before. After completing a set of sword techniques, he felt that his sword skills had improved a little.

I looked up again, ready to express my gratitude, but the dragon was nowhere to be seen.

Nearly half a month later, the conquered territory had been initially consolidated, and things were no longer as hectic as before.

Su Qing lay in the bath, letting the two girls wipe his scales.

Little Mary and Elise have become much more skilled.

Su Qing enjoyed the moment while scrolling through the messages she had just received.

A strange expression inevitably appeared on his face. The eighteen lords joined forces to fight the dragon, forming an army of more than 10,000 people.

There were nearly five high-ranking knights, dozens of grand knights and regular knights participating in the battle, as well as the previous grand mage and some other regular mages.

The lineup is terrifying; using it to defeat even a small dragon territory is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

It seems that his opponents are prepared to crush him with overwhelming force!

Old Sam looked anxiously at the still composed lord, almost bursting into tears.

What time is it now? With disaster looming, the lord is still so carefree.

"What's the rush? Don't worry, I've got you covered!"

Su Qing was full of confidence. He missed the battle last time and only cleaned up the mess. This time, he planned to take action himself so that no one would think he was easy to bully.

Of course, one shouldn't act too fiercely, lest no one bullies them in the future, and they have no reason to attack others.

Using inheritance as a reason all the time is inappropriate!

You need to find a good balance!

Seeing the lord's confident demeanor, old Sam didn't know what to say, but simply sighed softly, clearly having decided to leave it to fate.

Marquis Robert's castle was much more lively this time than last time, with eighteen lords, five high knights, the king's son, and Javier.

More than twenty people gathered together to discuss how to defeat the dragon.

Although there were many people this time, they had a leader to guide them.

Seated in the main seat was a plump young woman.

She appeared to be in her early thirties, dressed in a very classic black dress. Her cold and arrogant demeanor was intertwined on her flawless face, exuding a sense of oppression that made everyone afraid to speak.

Miss Bubble, the younger sister of the most powerful lord in the Duchy of Carter, brought three of the five high knights this time.

Gathering her long black hair, the young woman said, "I don't care how you failed last time, but this time you must succeed. I want that dragon to be my pet!"
