"My dearest Mary, my little darling!"
The old king's hands trembled slightly as he looked at his beloved daughter, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, wishing he had never given birth to such a rebellious daughter.
You came back, so why did you bring this dragon back with you?
Little Mary felt a little embarrassed, enduring her father's complicated gaze. She gritted her teeth and said softly, "Father, Mother, you should move to Dragon Territory as soon as possible. It's much safer there than here."
The old king fell silent. He knew his daughter was right, but how could he bear to abandon his ancestral property?
Moreover, he knew nothing but being a king.
He couldn't even be a good king, otherwise he wouldn't have ended up like this.
Moreover, the old king, with tears in his eyes, watched the giant dragon urging its servants to load the wealth his family had accumulated over hundreds of years onto the cart.
Does he still have a choice?
What a rebellious daughter!
...
Over three days, Su Qing emptied the entire capital, including not only wealth but also people, and rushed them all toward the Dragon Territory.
The entire capital city had a very large population, including more than 13,000 commoners and more than 5,000 nobles, of whom more than 1,000 were descendants of the old king.
Of these 1,000 people, the old king had more than 200 children and over 300 wives and concubines.
Su Qing felt that he couldn't accept this father-in-law, otherwise he would have hundreds of brothers-in-law for no reason, not to mention sisters-in-law!
What's a few hundred mothers-in-law?
Along the way, passing through several territories, Su Qinglong unleashed his full power without reservation, and did not encounter any unreasonable individuals.
When the lords received news of the dragon's passage, they all turned a deaf ear, not daring to provoke this evil star, for fear of being extorted again.
When they arrived safely in Dragon Territory, the old general had already easily captured the capital.
However, looking at the deserted city in front of him, which had been almost completely razed to the ground, he was not particularly happy.
His soldiers were all dejected.
So although there were no casualties and they easily captured a city, they didn't achieve much merit or even get any spoils of war, so they were naturally not very happy.
The old general was pondering how to boost morale when he suddenly heard someone report that the king had sent an envoy with a secret decree for him.
With some doubt, he accepted the messenger's secret decree.
After glancing at it briefly, the old general's face quickly lit up with joy. He carefully put away the secret decree and looked at the messenger: "Where is the person?"
"Please come with me, General!"
...
After several busy days, it was finally possible to settle more than 10,000 civilian households. Nearly 3,000 households had fled along the way, but fortunately most of them were safely delivered here.
But with the population suddenly doubling, Su Qing now has to find a way to expand his territory, otherwise there simply won't be enough land to go around.
He directly gave the order to Li Ming and the female knight to take charge of this matter.
The two thousand elite troops we've trained should now see some bloodshed.
Alan was in charge of training the two thousand newly recruited soldiers.
It's also worth mentioning that Alan has already advanced to the peak of the Grand Knight class, and only needs a slight opportunity to advance to the higher level.
The two-horned wolf is growing rapidly and is now able to train alongside the elite soldiers.
The construction of South Dragon City and North Dragon City is almost complete. Two neat and wide main roads intersect, with streets on both sides, all equally clean and tidy. On both sides are two-story buildings, where the families of soldiers who died in previous battles can be given priority for housing.
Next are the families of active-duty soldiers, followed by the wealthy and nobles.
While the twenty towns were not as well-built as the two cities, they were all located at transportation hubs and gradually began to prosper.
After countless adjustments to the proportions, the old alchemist Cargil finally created the best cement.
It can be used to repair roads!
But a new problem arose: limestone, the main material for cement, was not found in Dragon Territory. In the entire Duchy of Carter, there was only one medium-sized limestone mine in Bubble Territory, and it had not been mined much.
However, the army of the Duchy of Roland is entrenched there, so it is not yet within reach.
So, putting the road repairs aside for the time being, Su Qing began to take stock of his gains this time. It probably doesn't need much description: his wealth increased by 210,000 and his combat power soared to 410,000.
But it quickly became 310,000 again, and Su Qing couldn't resist activating another skill.
【Soaring through the clouds and mist】
The patterns on the scales spread, and the second supernatural power awakened.
He initially thought that flying through the clouds was not very useful, but after mastering this supernatural ability, he found that it was actually more useful than he had imagined.
He stood atop the castle, overlooking the entire manor, his dark golden dragon eyes gleaming, and the scales on his body began to slowly glow.
I began to try this supernatural power.
As the skill was activated, the sky changed, with layers of clouds gathering and rolling towards this direction.
The manor began to tremble, and the earth cracked. For a full quarter of an hour, countless clouds enveloped the manor and the surrounding land, rising abruptly from the ground.
The commotion startled the guards and servants, and some even prostrated themselves on the ground, praying to the gods.
But most people were simply bewildered and didn't realize what was happening.
Only when the manor was lifted a hundred meters into the air by countless clouds and mist and slowly came to a stop did those people dare to slowly stand up.
The patterns on Su Qing's scales gradually faded, returning to their normal appearance.
He collapsed wearily onto the castle, breathing heavily.
