Chapter 199 The Joy of Procreation, The Golden Tooth Tribe

"In the Abyss, imps are worthless trash, but they have some value in the material world."

Iron Dragon Sorog pondered, "Demon blood is a rare spellcasting material, and spellcasters will buy it at a high price. If this rift can continuously spawn lesser demons and harvest demon blood, as long as it is controlled properly, it can bring us a lot of resources."

Samantha, the red dragon, picked and chose, pulling out the demon bat wings that were still relatively intact.

She blinked and said, "There's a blueprint for a flying device in my alchemical heritage. It's made using demon wings. The Quassa demon wings aren't very good, but they should be usable."

Flying alchemical items are relatively expensive.

If a production line could be built to produce flying devices using demon wings as material, the Ironforge tribe would have its own unique output and be able to obtain more resources.

“Our ancestors seem to have been to the abyss, had a good understanding of demons, and left behind a legacy.”

Garros seemed to be deep in thought, feeling that the records about demons in the heritage were quite rich and detailed.

At the same time, he increasingly felt the value of this abyssal rift.

Even the lowest-level Quassamo can produce decent abyssal materials. Higher-level demons can be incredibly valuable, with prices comparable to dragons.

It can also be used for military training.

The demonic aura has a disturbing effect on the mind, but everything has two sides. Warriors who grow through fighting demons will have a will as strong as steel.

certainly.

Opportunities and dangers coexist.

Garus restrained his greedy thoughts, not forgetting that the Abyssal Rift was inherently extremely dangerous.

If possible, the best option is to eradicate the cracks completely. However, since it is not possible to eradicate the cracks now, we can use them to obtain certain resources, depending on the specific circumstances.

After the little devil appeared.

Out of curiosity and wariness towards demons.

The young dragons waited here for a while longer, hoping to see some real demons, rather than insignificant minions like the lesser demons who were worthless in the abyss.

But things didn't go as planned.

To the disappointment of the teenagers, there was no sign of any other demons appearing afterward.

"The appearance of Quassamodo was just a coincidence."

Galos said, "This abyssal rift has not yet been discovered by a large number of demons."

Both the Red Dragon and the Iron Dragon expressed some regret, saying, "In that case, it can't bring us much value, because there are too few demons."

"Perhaps we can try to widen the abyssal rift?"

A look of greed flashed in their eyes.

The dragons cannot remove the abyssal rift, but through attack and destruction, there is a chance to cause it to expand.

Red Iron Dragon shook his head slightly and said seriously, "Don't forget the danger of the Abyss Rift. It is ultimately a huge hidden danger. We left it here because we can't deal with it now, not for any benefit."

The potential profits from the Abyss Rift tempted him.

However, he believes that the dangers of the abyssal rift outweigh the potential benefits.

This thing is a hot potato; if things go wrong, Dragon Nest's foundation in the southwestern border region could be destroyed because of it.

"It is permissible to gain benefits in the process of guarding and dealing with demons."

"But we must never allow it to expand, or even actively allow it to expand."

Red Iron Dragon said with a cold and hard expression.

Samantha and Sorog rarely saw Red Iron Dragon like this. They both felt a chill run down their spines, knowing that Red Iron Dragon was extremely serious at this moment, and there was no room for doubt.

"I see."

Iron Dragon said in a low voice, "The Iron Smelting Tribe is already developing very quickly. There is no need to rush. Expanding the rift may backfire."

Galos's cold, hard expression softened slightly, and he nodded.

Arrogance and greed are the two factors that lead to the highest mortality rate among dragons. As the leader of Dragon Valley, he sets an example by controlling his desires with reason, while also guarding against his dragons making mistakes due to arrogance and greed.

Not long after.

A mixed force of units from various battle groups arrived here in response to the call. Led by Elvie, they were responsible for guarding the Abyss Rift. The White Dragon Therese also stayed here as the final striker.

The three Ignas brothers returned to Dragon Valley as the dawn broke.

"Tell me about the changes that have occurred in the Iron Smelting Tribe over the years."

"Garos said."

Although he doesn't manage affairs, he at least needs to have a general understanding of his tribe.

Tie Long nodded and began to explain the situation to Galos in detail.

He slept for a total of seven years, and awoke around the fifth year of his slumber. He then began to manage the territory and the development of his people, revitalizing the Ironforge tribe, which had almost completely retreated due to the lack of a leader.

First, there's the population of the Ironforge tribe.

Gnolls, dog-headed men.

Their leisure activity is mating, and they reproduce extremely quickly, giving birth every three months. Sometimes, a single litter can produce more than ten offspring, who reach adulthood around the age of six. They are like weeds in the wilderness, growing one crop after another.

Their numbers grew like locusts.

If it weren't for Iron Dragon Sorog's use of whipping and starvation to keep them in check, their numbers could have overwhelmed the Fertile Plains.

Even so, the Iron Will Chapter was larger than all other chapters combined, and it also became a burden on the Ironforge.

With so many gnolls and kobolds, the Ironforge's existing pastures are insufficient to support them.

In order to reduce the number of gnolls and kobolds, they were ordered to be at the forefront when hunting powerful beasts and monsters, and to fill the lair of the southwestern monster lord with their flesh and blood.

Nowadays.

The ferocious beasts and monster lords in the southwest have been largely eliminated by the Ironforge tribe, and some stubborn small clans have also been incorporated or crushed.

The Ironforge tribe has completely taken over the southwestern border region, leaving only a few powerful and difficult-to-defeat monster lords.

Iron will played a crucial role in this.

Ogres, centaurs, and gray-maned werewolves, while not as adept as gnolls and kobolds, are equally skilled at reproduction, only taking longer to reach adulthood.

Thanks to their favorable growing environment, the number of their young and middle-aged adults has also increased significantly.

With the growing population, the number of exceptionally talented warrior units, warlocks, shamans, and other units has steadily increased, and many new elite leaders have been added.

While Garos was in Dragonslumber, he felt that the population of the Ironforge tribe was not keeping up with the development of the territory, which made him a little nervous.

However, the limited land resources in the southwest are restricting population growth.

"There is a reason why these intelligent beings, who are inherently savage and ignorant, can occupy a place in many material worlds."

Galos thought to himself silently.

Take gnolls and kobolds, for example. They are weak and lowly, and strong individuals are rare, but they can take root and survive in any harsh environment. They are like wildfires that cannot burn them out and spring back to life with the spring breeze.

"Don't forget me, my Sulfur Hills, now the pillar of Dragon Valley!"

Samantha, the red dragon, held her head high like a proud swan, recounting the recent situation in the Sulphur Hills.

She created the assembly line that Galos had described.

Kobold miners fed raw ore into furnaces, ogre craftsmen forged steel billets with tempering hammers, and alchemists inscribed runes. In the Sulphur Hills, specially trained servants and other alchemists were responsible for different stages, processing the mined raw ore into various alchemical industrial products, which were then sold to caravans passing through the Estonian River, earning countless riches.

The alchemists of the Ironforge tribe have also made progress.

The former alchemy apprentices have grown over the years and can now be considered true alchemists, capable of using spells to inscribe and solidify alchemical runes on steel armor. Moreover, the number of new alchemy apprentices has tripled.

Another point worth mentioning is...

The Ignas brothers had already discussed the specific distribution of profits.

Even close brothers should keep clear accounts, and dragons are extremely sensitive to wealth, so one cannot act recklessly.

Samantha's share of the wealth earned from the alchemy industry was partly her personal reward and went into her private coffers, while the rest went into the Dragon Valley treasury and belonged to its leader, Garos.

Iron Dragon manages the territory and his retinue, and his payment for this is directly distributed by Garus.

For Iron Dragon, the thrill of witnessing his territory grow stronger was more alluring than wealth itself; his greed for wealth was less than Red Dragon's.

As for the White Dragon Therese, only the spoils of war she kills herself can belong to her.

She is essentially Garos's 'slave,' serving Dragon Nest without pay.

If she is willing to stay in Dragon Valley to continue working after the fifty-year term, she will have the opportunity to receive the corresponding reward.

"Now let's talk about the four major tribes."

After gaining a basic understanding of the territory, Garos changed the subject and said to Iron Dragon Sorog, "From what you said before, the Golden Tooth Tribe had a minor conflict with us while I was asleep."

The Gold Tooth Tribe is the official name of the goblin tribe.

Tie Long nodded.

"Before we arrived, the Golden Tooth tribe understood the importance of trade best in this border region."

"They are located in the southeast, near the Estonian River, and have long-standing trade relations with merchant groups along the Estonian River. They have established trade channels, and their gold refining industry is more developed than ours."

Tie Long snorted coldly and said, "These treacherous and despicable reptiles are trying to completely control the trade routes along the Estonian River. They have deployed defenses along the east and west banks of the river, and when they happened to encounter us, friction arose."
