While Su Yue's main force rested, he began inspecting his own territory.
Walden Peak is a territory that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it cannot be detected by ordinary reconnaissance methods, making it a top-notch location for hiding troops.
But why did vampires appear among the 80,000+ Imperial rebels?
Emma Walden said, “My lord, we initially hoped that the rebels could help us fight against the dragons, and it was because of the dragons’ return that my foolish brother joined the Imperial rebels and was captured by you.”
A vampire noble named Flora was quickly brought over.
Su Yue stared at the pale-faced, skinny boy before him, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, and fell silent. Dragons had always existed only in legends, and the Walden Peak before him contained more than just a vast gold mine.
With immense mining value, and essentially set against the backdrop of a "Dragon Cliff," could Su Yue, who occupies Dragon Cliff, use this unique terrain to lure and capture a giant dragon?
Gregory was somewhat surprised by Su Yue's words.
"My lord, what you imagine seems to be true. The solitary peak is so high that, as a habitat for dragons to hide their treasures, they certainly do not want anyone to disturb their sleep."
As far as I know, dragons have very long sleep and growth periods. They often need to sleep for 200 to 500 years, and some dragons even have longer growth periods, possibly requiring seven or eight hundred years of slumber. Therefore, they need to choose suitable terrain to sleep.
"……sleep?"
Gregory said, "Yes, dragons often sleep for hundreds of years, and their bodies are so huge, so ordinary woodlands, caves, and normal places that can be observed by wild animals are definitely not their habitats."
"..."
Su Yue thought so too. If he were to accidentally sleep for three to five hundred years, a place like Walden Peak would be the best choice for him.
Moreover, the key advantage of Walden Peak is that even if humans fight to the death, the enemy will not be able to find it, and even if they do, they may not come up and think that it is a place where no life can live.
But it is precisely in places where there are few people that things happen.
The more they are valued by the dragon race.
This is the difference between celestial creatures and terrestrial creatures.
Humans, as a species, are more concerned with ownership of the land and the ocean, but they rarely pay attention to what is happening in the sky.
But dragons are different.
They were looking down from above. Places like Walden Peak are naturally suitable for dragons to slumber... Legends of dragons, vampires, and young girls as wives, living in seclusion and avoiding the world—these elements combined clearly unveiled a huge veil of mystery to Su Yue.
"That's interesting..."
He continued to tour the monster hatching pools. The monsters that would be born from these Tier 4 and Tier 3 buildings had been described before: Tier 4 Great Ghouls, Tomb Ghouls, Tier 2 Dire Wolves, and Tier 1 Zombies. The hybrid undead monsters all seemed to be related to dragon blood. It seemed that the previous lord, Jefferson Walden, had put a lot of effort into the monsters, but didn't pay much attention to the bloodline inheritance of vampires.
Indeed, they were living in seclusion.
If the vampire population grows too large and the blood supply is insufficient, that would be a problem. Su Yue then asked, "Will eating dirty blood cause you any side effects?"
Emma Walden pointed to her head: "It'll go crazy."
"..."
Su Yue thought to herself, "Your actions are really vivid. A vampire drinking dirty blood is like a person eating rotten food. Maybe there will be bacterial infection? Maybe there will be food poisoning. But will the vampire go crazy?"
He looked at Emma Walden curiously and asked, "Then why aren't you crazy?"
Emma Walden trembled as she said, "My brother Flar seduced the shepherd rebels during the Empire's eastern expedition, also to provide fresh blood packs..."
"Wait?? What did you say? Your brother Fular? What?"
"seduce……"
"???"
Su Yue felt like she had touched a blind spot: Your brother, your brother is a boy, right?
Emma Walden, her voice trembling, recounted the hidden story, saying, "At first, I hoped to sacrifice myself to gain fresh blood, but who knew that the leader of the Imperial rebels wasn't interested in me. He... he was interested in my brother."
"???"
Su Yue immediately imagined a young girl offering herself up, hoping that 80,000+ imperial rebel troops would help them fight against the dragon on their isolated peak. In return, the girl was forced to give up her virginity, only for the leader of the imperial rebels to say that he preferred men.
"So your brother Flora... just..."
"well……"
Emma Walden trembled as she said, "We were planning to rely on the Empire's rebels to defeat the dragon... My lady... it, it's coming!!"
"What?"
"Dragon!!! Wait, he's coming!!" Su Yue knew very well that Emma Walden had dragon blood flowing through her veins, but he didn't expect it to happen so coincidentally? However, since this solitary peak was there, and Emma Walden had never directly confronted a dragon in her years as a vampire, but instead became a dragon's wife, perhaps there were conflicts between dragons?
The dragons killed earlier were not necessarily slaughtered by the dragon slayers; they could have been the result of conflicts between dragons.
Regardless of the outcome, Su Yue remained curious about dragon creatures.
He had previously eaten dragon meat at the "Dark Lord's" table, and with his high attributes, he wondered if bathing in dragon blood would make him indestructible.
Below the distant Walden Peak.
Countless rebel soldiers were surrendering when Gregory suddenly drew his sword, and over 3,000 Tier 3 Imperial Hunters drew their longbows and aimed into the distance.
A giant dragon with golden pupils and a festering body had two heads. If you didn't look closely, you might mistake it for a chimera, but it was actually in Su Yue's sight.
The guy in the distance has all his attributes marked with question marks.
"What a serendipitous encounter! I hope the rewards will be plentiful."
"Tier 8 Large Creature, Sebastian Clemens, Dracohydra, Attribute: ???"
"...That's interesting."
A chilling mist swirled around them, and a barrage of arrows flew across the ground. The dragon was positioned even higher than the solitary peak, so these arrows, with a range of less than 800 meters, posed no threat to it.
Sebastian Clemens' cold and dangerous dragon eyes shifted, one of his two dragon heads looking down and the other gazing into the distance, both revealing a cruel smile.
"Mountains, treasure!!"
"Buzz!!"
"Hiss!!!"
"Aaaaaah!!"
"Pfft..."
This wasn't the sound of someone being injured; it was the frightened state of Su Yue's 24,000+ troops, along with the warhorses in the temporary stables that had been organized from the battlefield!
Lord's Log: "Your troops' warhorses have been affected by the pressure of the high-level species 'Dragon's Might' and have entered a state of fright!"
"..."
The large number of warhorses were in chaos, neighing sharply, but Sleipnir, with the hooves of Nightmare Horse under his feet, did not react at all, and even tore open his mouth and roared at the sky.
Sebastian Clemens, this evil dragon, glanced at the troops beneath his feet. Since they were unable to climb the isolated peak, these tiny, ant-like humans could not possibly harm him. He was certain that there were not many enemies on the isolated peak.
So he circled the solitary peak for a while, and after confirming there were no formidable enemies, he swooped down!
Like cannonballs and a crashing train, the enormous dragon's body, carrying white clouds, tore through the wind and air, creating waves of reverberation!
"Aaaaaaah!!"
"A giant dragon..."
"Aunt Silatamu!!" The local residents and natives of Walden cried out sharply. Their fear of dragons was ingrained in their minds. Many of Emma Walden's vampire relatives ran out from the dragon's lair, the monster hatchery, the Tier 4 and Tier 3 buildings, and even the hall, and they all knelt on the ground in worship.
A vampire declared, "We need to form a marriage alliance with the great Dragon King Sebastian Clemens, and we need to sacrifice our most beautiful vampire girl, Emma Walden, to him!!"
“Yes, Emma Walden should be sacrificed.”
Flora screamed, "Don't hurt my sister! Now it's up to Lord Su Yue of Canaan to decide everything!"
The arrival of the dragon was like a boulder thrown into a smooth lake, throwing the entire environment into chaos, from the warhorses below the solitary peak affected by the dragon's might to the "native" vampires now in disarray on Walden Peak.
They all recalled the fear of being dominated by dragons.
This sense of oppression, the psychological terror and fear, made Su Yue shake his head repeatedly. Sometimes, this is how servility is rooted in one's bones.
No, or rather, it should be the custom and subtle influence on a person's reaction to something.
Perhaps in the future, even enemies who hear the name of the White Horse Lord will react with such defeat; that is true fame.
Clearly, this evil dragon named Sebastian Clemens was infamous in this place, and his name seemed to have taken root in people's minds.
Sebastian Clemens's icy voice came from above, "Where is the sacrifice?"
"Where is my treasure, my gold mine?"
His voice was like the sound of stones and steel rubbing against each other on a cold cliff.
Extremely rough.
Two enormous dragon heads, one facing left and the other facing right, their terrifying bodies nearly a hundred meters long, pressed heavily against a rising cliff, overlooking the entire Walden Peak from above.
"..."
Su Yue raised his arm to block the flying sand, stones, and leaves from the surrounding area.
There were many fir trees high up there, I don’t know if they were transplanted from the forest below. The strong wind and turbulent air, along with a foul, fishy smell, or more accurately, the smell of corrosive acid, were coming from the dragon, as if it hadn’t bathed for thousands of years.
Su Yue smiled and said, "Emma Walden, go and have a talk with him."
"Jefferson Walden, my old friend, where is he?" Sebastian Clemens asked.
Emma Walden trembled as she looked down at the enormous dragon, its body shrouded in shadow like the dark corners of the moon. She felt utterly uncertain, wondering if Lord Su Yue, the Canaanite lord, could truly protect them!
Sebastian Clemens devours many of his vampire brothers and sisters each time. Not only that, but the most beautiful women also become his sacrifices. Many of her predecessors' brothers and sisters have died at his hands.
In addition, the gold mine and Dragon Cliff were also temporary habitats for the dragon Sebastian Clemens.
More than a decade of oppression and attacks, and perhaps a century of slumber.
He made vampires his servants and slaves.
Only those who are close to them truly know what they have been through.
With such terrifying oppression and threats, and with such powerful dragons appearing on Dragon Cliff, they simply could not survive normally; it could be said that their very nature was indeed chaotic.
But wasn't it also because this terrible and evil Sebastian Clemens was behind all of this?
The environment changes people, and people adapt to the environment. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish right from wrong. She only knew that she had no way out.
Since we've chosen to resist, let's resist to the very end.
“Lord Sebastian Clemens, my father has been imprisoned by me, and I am now the new vampire baron of Walden Peak.”
"oh?"
The cold, vertical golden pupils stared at the girl before him. "Where is my sacrifice?"
Sebastian Clemens's indifferent voice drifted over.
Emma Walden said, "Please go and rest in the cave. We will send your offerings to you soon."
The terrifying multi-headed dragon, Sebastian Clemens, spoke as if a chilling storm was brewing, saying, "No, now."
His intonation and pauses were also completely different!
Sebastian Clemens's body was covered in corrosive wounds, with creamy-colored, bud-like ulcers on his forepaws, suggesting he had suffered significant magical damage. His scales were stained with blood, with black scabs formed from congealed blood. In addition to these details, his pale brown scales, which looked particularly dirty from years of neglect, blended seamlessly with the mud on his belly. This enormous dragon creature, at least four or five hundred meters long, was hovering above the mountain, its very breath suffocating.
Are you injured?
Emma Walden knelt on one knee, appearing incredibly small before the dragon, and asked.
Sebastian Clemens said, "This is none of your business, mortal."
"My lord, will you be fighting the Storm Giant, the Stone Giant, or that wretched Red Dragon this time? You're sure to be the victor, aren't you?"
Sebastian Clemens suddenly erupted in a furious roar!
"who are they??"
Sebastian Clemens gazed at Su Yue, Gregory, and the others, who seemed as tiny as specks of mud in the darkness.
Behind Su Yue, the Sos Star Griffin Xiao Yi and the Tier 8 unit Flying Hydra had already hidden themselves in advance, so although Sebastian Clemens sensed that something was wrong, the dragon's sinister and cunning emotions did not immediately erupt.
It was precisely this subtle anxiety that made him feel uneasy about the two ants in front of him.
Dressed in a general's uniform, with epaulets and sash, Su Yue looked imposing and clearly did not resemble an ordinary person, but rather a high-ranking nobleman from the Bato Empire.
Sebastian Clemens said, "A nobleman of the Bato Empire?"
Su Yue said with a smile, "Lord Sebastian Clemens, I have long admired you. Now that our Canaan territory has just expanded to the entire territory of the Kafulwit territory, we need a dragon to serve as the territory's advisor."
Would you be willing to accept this position and join my territory?
In his previous life, when Su Yue played Total War: Warhammer, the most exhilarating moment was watching the lords and electors ride their mighty dragons and majestic flying mounts, launching an unparalleled offensive against the enemy.
He admitted that the multi-headed dragon named Sebastian Clemens, aside from being a bit ugly and smelly, still met his subordinates' requirements.
Conquer or kill.
He could accept either condition.
Sebastian Clemens' dangerously massive form approached like the moon, but Su Yue remained unmoved. He wasn't flustered at all; in fact, he almost laughed.
A colossal dragon head, as large as a mountain range, with a sinister, narrow mouth, and a Western-style dragon head emitting a stench, approached Su Yue. The scene was like a large ship approaching a leaf!
Su Yue is Ye, while Sebastian Clemens' head is a tower ship.
"...It does taste quite good."
Sebastian Clemens suddenly bared his teeth!
The Royal Guards of the Rick Empire behind him, including Gregory, instantly drew their swords!
To everyone's surprise, Sebastian Clemens turned around and said, "Whether you are a nobody from the Bathor Empire or not, serve me well."
He leaped up and flew towards the distant gold mine.
"..."
Su Yue's eyes were subtle as he smiled and said, "Let's go."
"Master, should we kill him now?" Europa asked with a smile from behind.
Su Yue said, "No need to rush, we still have plenty of time to play with him some more."
Gregory smiled too.
Unlike Su Yue and the others who were relaxed, Emma Walden appeared extremely nervous!
"Sir...we're afraid we don't have enough supplies!"
"Supplies?"
Emma Walden trembled as she said, "Yes, Sebastian Clemens needs to eat the food of nearly 3,000 people at each meal. If he doesn't get enough food, he will start killing the monsters in his territory and our people."
"Not enough killing?"
Emma Walden seemed to be triggered by some horrifying memory, and she said in a trembling voice, "It kills some of them first, and then goes out to hunt for food itself!!"
"..."
Su Yue laughed, "This dragon is quite clever; he knows he needs to completely eliminate the food supply." He lacks everything except food. He hasn't even started spending his 34.7 billion gold coins yet, and his food reserves already exceed 30 million. He signaled to the following troops to transport the food over.
Sebastian Clemens' head drooped to the ground as he lay prone. Suddenly, his ears twitched, and a perception magic was activated. A transparent light watched as the Canaanite army transported food in the distance.
"Hmm... Canaan??"
Like ants carrying food, the soldiers of the human empire transported massive amounts of grain over and then began processing it.
Two hours later, a massive amount of food was piled up in front of Sebastian Clemens.
He swallowed half a mountain of food in one gulp.
The scalding steam mixed with rice, bread, meat, vegetables, and fruits made Sebastian Clemens narrow his eyes slightly. He said, "Su Yue, you are the new Lord of Canaan?"
Su Yue smiled and said, "Yes, how is it? Are you satisfied with the food I prepared?"
Sebastian Clemens had no idea that the ant opposite him was a demigod, and behind him was an even more terrifying archangel!
In his view, the schemes and plots of these human nobles were nothing more than ants, as long as they didn't affect him. A hundred years later, everything would be different, and he would just take a nap before the human lifespan in front of him would come to an end.
"kindness……"
He consumed the rations of nearly 5,000 soldiers, and then the two enormous dragon heads turned back and returned to the interior of Dragon Cliff.
Sebastian Clemens: "You did a good job, this is a reward for you."
Lord's Log: "Your service has pleased Sebastian Clemens. You have received the Dragon's Blessing, a random hidden building blueprint, a random treasure, and a random spell."
"You gain the trait: Corrosion Resistance: Your resistance to corrosive contamination +15%."
A large amount of black, sticky liquid was spat onto Su Yue's face. He endured it without dodging. The moment this force approached Su Yue, it transformed into a long thread and burrowed into his arm, where it was devoured by the power of the Luoyan Yellow Seal and the demigod bloodline.
"Not bad? Sebastian Clemens, this dragon, is actually rational? That makes it even more interesting?"
Legend has it that dragons are known to devour people at will, and are incredibly brutal.
But Sebastian Clemens didn't harm a single Canaanite soldier? In fact, he seemed rather docile? What's going on?
After returning to his lair, Sebastian Clemens felt increasingly uneasy. He didn't know where the threat came from; he just had a bad feeling. This terrifying sixth sense kept him on high alert at all times.
"Are you being paranoid?"
Sebastian Clemens lay on the massive dragon head.
But at this moment, right after they had eaten and drunk their fill.
The lord named Su Yue actually came over again?
"Haven't I already blessed you?"
Su Yue looked at his massive body and walked leisurely toward him, saying, "No, no, this is not enough. You have eaten the rations of five thousand of my soldiers and need to pay back the debt."
Sebastian Clemens's evil eyes showed no sign of anger. Instead, he casually opened his claws, about to swat Su Yue away like a fly. "You are the lord of Canaan, don't bother me."
Like a fortified city wall, the dragon's claw lunged towards Su Yue!
But in the next instant!!!
"boom!!"
His dragon claw was blocked?!
"!!!"
"!!!"
Sebastian Clemens stared in shock at the scene before him as Su Yue walked towards him step by step. "Your strength is not bad. I don't care about the so-called blessing, the location of Dragon Cliff, or the matter with Philison Walden."
"!!!"
Sebastian Clemens suddenly felt a terrifying threat emanating from the body of the lord before him!
"A demigod!!!"
Countless terrifying octopus tentacles and incredibly powerful abyssal shadows erupted from behind Su Yue, pressing down on Sebastian Clemens like towering statues!
"I need a dragon mount."
Sebastian Clemens roared in fury!
The entire interior of the massive Dragon Nest at Dragon Cliff trembled, and countless gold and gold ore fragments shattered around the cliff face!
