During this period, the construction of the empire was progressing in an orderly manner. In terms of the distribution of the kingdom's mineral resources, Martin only collected half, and the remaining half was retained for the use of the kingdom.
The large-scale mining operations some time ago caused a sharp rise in the price of ore in the kingdom. Even under the kingdom's regulation, the price has increased several times.
Martin thought to himself that if there were no regulation, the price would probably increase at least tenfold.
In view of this, Martin has now shifted his focus to the void creatures. After all, a divine power crystal can be worth 100 million, which is much higher than the income from mining.
But for now, building an empire remains the top priority.
Three months had passed since the Merlin family incident, and during that time, Martin had devoted himself entirely to matters related to the empire.
Not long ago, Jovian successfully gave birth to a baby boy. This news made the Merlin family feel relieved. At the same time, people across the country cheered for this, after all, the kingdom had successors.
To celebrate, Martin decided to suspend taxes for that month and also announced an important resolution: in half a month, the Dragon Spine Empire will be officially established.
Some people had previously speculated that His Majesty would establish an empire, and now the speculation has been confirmed.
When this news came, everyone from the nobles to the common people was filled with joy. The reason was nothing more than their vested interests.
Following Martin's announcement, the entire kingdom quickly took action and made intensive preparations for the establishment of the empire half a month later.
In fact, various departments had already started preparations several months ago, and the announcement now is just a matter of fulfilling the procedure.
Time passed in a flash, and the day finally arrived. Almost all the nobles in the Northern Continent gathered in Yulong City.
After receiving support from five other dragon beast races, the Dragon Beast Legion expanded into five Dragon Beast Legions, each with a size of approximately five to six thousand people.
Martin did not hesitate to consume his own energy and signed contracts with all the excess personnel and the dragon beasts.
Bang, bang, bang! Giant magical fireworks bloomed brilliantly in the sky, radiating light.
Teams of pterosaur knights rode on pterosaurs and patrolled back and forth over the Dragon City together with the dragon knights, closely guarding the area.
Below, the Triceratops Knight Squad was maintaining order at the scene in an orderly manner.
Four sub-dragon beast legions were deployed in the four directions of Yulong City. The whole scene was extremely lively and full of festive atmosphere.
At this time, inside the palace, nobles, led by court knights, went to the throne hall in an endless stream.
Today, the throne hall has expanded to more than four times its original size.
Witnessed by many nobles, Martin once again ascended the throne that symbolizes supreme power.
During the ceremony, there were some individuals who attempted to cause trouble, but they quickly stopped under the powerful deterrent force of the Dragon Knights and the Dragon Beast Legion.
It is worth mentioning that Martin did not discriminate against those foreign races, but gave them the same status as other races. This move gradually made the foreign races feel a sense of identity.
After the coronation ceremony was successfully concluded, the celebrations in Yulong City had just begun.
Martin had already decreed that all expenses in Yulong City would be borne by the royal family, with the aim of allowing everyone to enjoy themselves and eat and drink well.
Such a grand celebration lasted for seven or eight days before the joyous atmosphere gradually subsided.
As for the Lizardman Kingdom in the swamp area, Martin sent several demigod dragon knights there before the celebration began.
Faced with the powerful deterrent, the Lizardman Kingdom chose to surrender directly.
Lizardmen live quite well in the swamp area, but for other races, the environment there is really harsh.
After learning that the Lizardmen had surrendered, Martin adopted a strategy of nominal management, but in reality the Lizardmen royal family still managed their territory independently.
As long as the Lizardman Kingdom can pay sufficient taxes every month, Martin will no longer interfere too much in their affairs.
At this moment, in the northern continent, Queen Catherine was commanding her subordinates to march towards a remote place.
She attempted to use the mysterious power in the Jedi to realize her ambition of unifying the continent.
After arriving at the Jedi, she ordered everyone to stand down and stepped into it alone.
As soon as you step into the Jedi, you'll notice it's completely different from the outside world. Here, birdsong and flowers bloom, making it seem like two completely different worlds.
As they were walking, a goblin suddenly appeared. When he saw that it was the queen, he was so scared that he immediately knelt on the ground.
The queen ignored him and continued to go deeper.
This Jedi was specially set up by the Queen's ancestors to trap some kind of war machine.
In fact, it was the work left by a group of wizards, and it contained the power of a group called the Golden Legion.
Each member of the legion possesses the strength of a demigod and is immortal, with a total of one thousand people.
However, its fatal flaw is that it is uncontrollable.
Queen Catherine originally did not want to release them, but the recent situation made her worried.
She thought about it and found that there was no effective way to restrain those demigod dragon knights in the empire.
Moreover, the news sent back from Dragon Island made her feel even more pressured - ten dragon cubs had successfully been promoted to six demigod dragons.
This result made Queen Catherine toss and turn and unable to sleep all night.
She kept thinking, why, why did it happen like this? The hard work of several generations of her family now seemed like an absurd joke.
She was really unwilling to give up, so she thought of the Golden Legion imprisoned by her ancestors - the creation of those wizards. After struggling all night, she finally decided to release them.
The queen took out a secret key and then stepped straight into the secret realm.
