At the moment, in Yulong City, Martin is busy signing contracts with the graduates of Loyalty Academy.
These students are the future reserve forces of the empire, and most of the future administrative officials and legion knights will be selected from among them.
After years of development, the system of the Loyalty Academy is now quite complete. As it matures, the quality of the legion's knights and the level of management officials have been significantly improved.
During this time, in the central area of the Xingyao Holy Land, the demons that had escaped from the Hell Plane had been essentially wiped out. However, a few still slipped through the net.
In response to this, Martin combined the advice of the military and decided to let the legions stationed in various places deal with these remaining demons.
If the enemy encountered by the stationed legions in various places is relatively strong, they can call for support from the dragon knights; if it is within the legion's handling capabilities, the legions in various places will resolve it on their own.
Therefore, except for the legions originally stationed in the central area of Xingyao Shengbang, the other legions returned to their original locations after receiving reinforcements from the military.
The dragon knights mobilized from all over the place also returned to the areas they were responsible for guarding.
After such arrangements, the entire empire presented a prosperous scene.
That day, Martin was focused on reviewing memorials as usual. Time slipped by without him noticing.
At this time, a palace knight hurried over to report: "Your Majesty, the dragon from Dragon Island has arrived at Yulong City as agreed with you and is now waiting in the reception hall."
Martin heard this, put down his writing, picked up the black tea beside him, took a sip, and then said to the court knight: "I understand, you can leave."
The knight took the order and was about to turn around and leave, but Martin stopped him and ordered, "Bring the dragon to the throne room." The court knight took the order again and retreated respectfully.
Martin slowly stood up, looked at the sky outside the window, and then walked towards the throne room.
Along the way, he was thinking about the situation of the five dragon beast legions and ten dragon knights who were conquering the small plane.
He checked the relevant panels and found that although there were casualties on a small scale, the overall situation was still optimistic.
While he was thinking, he had unknowingly arrived at the throne room. After the maid gently reminded him, Martin came to his senses and walked into the hall.
He discovered that the number of dragons that came this time was about ten more than the number agreed upon with the Great Elder of Dragon Island.
Martin walked up to the throne and sat down. A puzzled expression crossed his face as he looked at the dragons and asked directly, "Great Elder, didn't you say you would send out fifteen dragon cubs? Why are there only twenty-five now?"
Upon hearing the question, the leading dragon saluted respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, the situation is becoming increasingly serious. The Great Elder believes that we should increase our numbers. This is also Dragon Island's way of expressing sincerity."
As it spoke, it took out a high-level space ring. Martin raised his hand and the space ring flew straight into his hand.
Martin opened it and saw fifty divine power crystals inside. He couldn't help but praise it repeatedly: "Not bad, not bad."
Then he asked again: "Have you brought the expenses?"
The leading dragon responded, "I have brought them, Your Majesty. These are the one hundred mid-level godheads needed for the promotion of the twenty lower-level dragons. Each mid-level godhead is worth twenty-five billion. There are also five divine power crystals needed for the promotion of demigods, each contained in two high-level space rings."
Martin raised his hand and two space rings appeared in his hands. After confirming that everything was correct, Martin nodded and then checked the loyalty of the twenty-five dragon cubs. He found that the values were all extremely low, with the highest being only fifteen.
Martin thought for a moment and said to the leading dragon, "You can go back now. Come back in three days to take over, or you can let them go back on their own."
The dragon nodded, saluted, and turned to retreat.
When the twenty-five dragon cubs saw the giant dragon leave, they immediately ran around the hall like wild horses and started to destroy things wantonly.
Martin would not tolerate such behavior. He immediately summoned the court knights and ordered all these dragon cubs with only bronze strength to be taken to the confinement room.
He felt that the method of "beating them with a stick and then giving them a sweet treat" was quite effective. He would lock them up for a day to teach them a lesson. If they still didn't behave, he would lock them up for three days. As long as he could achieve a 60% success rate, he could give an explanation to the Great Elder.
Martin just watched quietly as the court knights captured the dragon cubs one by one.
After the palace knights saluted and retreated with the little dragon cub, the throne room returned to its previous quietness.
At this moment, in the small plane, the dragon knights took the lead, clearing the way in front, and the five dragon beast legions followed in an orderly manner behind.
"The environment of this place is just as Your Majesty said. There are crystals everywhere, and these crystals seem to contain some special power. If they can be utilized, the empire will definitely reach a higher level. It's just strange, why are these crystals all purple?" A legion commander couldn't help but speak.
"I'm not sure, but it's better to be careful. We suffered a bit of a loss when we first came in. A ten-man exploration team just disappeared inexplicably. Later we found their traces, but didn't find any signs of fighting. It's really weird." Another legion commander responded with lingering fear.
"Okay, stop talking. Everyone, just focus on protecting the legion. If we fail to successfully occupy this small plane this time, how can we have the face to see His Majesty?" said a legion commander seriously.
Hearing this, the other legion commanders shut up, concentrated their attention, and used their spiritual sense to carefully explore the movements around them to prevent sudden attacks from the natives of the plane.
Suddenly, there was a violent battle wave at the front, and then the sound of shattering glass reached the ears of several legion commanders.
