Orson looked at Geraint in front of him with an ugly face. The captain of the palace guard had made him lose face yesterday.
Today, another expert came to trouble him. Seeing his soldiers and even spellcasters fall one by one, he ordered his subordinates not to attack again.
"What's the matter, Your Excellency? Why did you trespass on my place?" Orson asked calmly.
"You caught a little black dragon before, right?"
"So what? She has already been taken to the capital by now, and it is estimated that she has been contracted to become someone else's mount, hahaha!" Earl Orson got angry when he mentioned this. Even though the person in front of him was powerful, he only injured people without killing them, so there was much less fear in his heart.
So his language was a bit arrogant.
"Huh?" Geraint felt a little dissatisfied seeing the other party's arrogant appearance.
How can a true dragon become someone else's mount?
He rushed to Earl Orson's side in an instant.
Holding his throat with one hand, Geraint's eyes turned into scarlet dragon pupils, exuding an inexplicable power from his body.
"I'll ask you one last time!"
Despite his kindness towards humans, he is not a pedantic fellow. He had more than enough blood on his hands.
"Uh…"
Earl Orson wanted to break Geraint's hand, but how could he shake the power of a gold dragon?
Looking at Geraint's scarlet pupils, Earl Orson seemed to understand something.
His eyes were full of remorse. It seemed that there was big trouble this time, and his eyes indicated frantically.
Geraint threw him to the ground.
Orson took a few breaths and said carefully:
"Yesterday, the captain of the palace guard of the Saranian royal family came to take away the little black dragon in person. It's really none of my business!"
"And…"
"And what? I hope you don't let me down!"
With a click, Geraint directly crushed one of Orson's shoulders.
Suddenly, Orson let out a scream. As a nobleman, when had he ever been treated like this?
Geraint was worried about Delia in his heart, so he became a little impatient seeing Orson like this.
Even Geraint himself didn't know that his current appearance was quite different from a Gold Dragon's gentle personality.
"Furthermore, according to the news from my subordinates in the capital, the captain of the palace guards took away the little black dragon with a flying monster yesterday, and he was already in the palace last night!" Orson didn't dare to hide anything anymore.
"This is going to be a big problem!" Geraint looked in the direction of the capital.
After all, the strength of the Saranian Kingdom was much stronger than that of the Del Kingdom, even though both were still very small kingdoms in the grand scheme of things without a Legendary Man.
There were many masters in the capital, and if he broke in forcefully, he might even have to deal with them himself. After all, human beings had established themselves in this world for many years and still had some strength.
---
At the same time, the black dragon on the other side of the Sunset Forest had already sensed the events on Geraint's side through the chain of soul.
His scarlet eyes were full of light.
It seemed that there was something to do next!
I stretched my body, and Hannah looked at me enviously.
She also wanted to grow up so big...
But she still couldn't understand how I had grown up like this in just a few months.
This did not conform to the normal growth cycle of living things at all!
I ignored my silly sister.
Just treat it as family, as long as she doesn't compete with me for food.
After all, she was a true dragon, and she still had a lot of potential, but it grew too slowly.
I flew up after flapping my wings a few times.
---
At this time, a place near the depths of the Dark Forest in Black Blood Valley was full of an evil atmosphere.
More than 100,000 hobgoblins, bear goblins, kobolds, forest trolls, lizardmen, and other evil creatures had gathered here.
The Black Dragon's huge figure passed directly over these creatures, and he let out a deafening dragon roar.
He used a little wild scream effect and released the dragon's might, causing all the evil creatures to feel immense pressure.
I flew to a cliff and landed, where I could see the entire plain.
I spread my wings and looked at the mess of evil creatures below.
"My followers, I am your master—the great true Black Dragon King!"
I used a bit of telepathy to ensure that all creatures could hear my words.
Some of them didn't know the Lingua Franca, the local language...
"Hoo ho ho~"
There was a mess of roars from below, and I could tell that these guys were very excited.
"But some dare to offend me! Some humans from the Saranian Kingdom captured my child. What do you think should be done?"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Kill them all!"
"Kill and eat them all!"
"Kill..."
The dark creatures below raised their weapons to express their determination to me.
"Very good!"
"Then attack this human kingdom that dares to offend us now!" I let out a dragon roar.
The black and evil creatures below let out excited cries.
Creepy!

"Brother actually launched such a large-scale war against a human kingdom for Emily?" Hannah was dumbfounded.
No, no, how could he do this?
Hannah shook her head when she thought of the incident where he snatched food and eggshells when she was just born.
He must have other purposes; she didn't know what they might be, but it was enough to attack a kingdom.
This was also a good thing. Such a big battle could definitely save Emilia.
Hannah wasn't very worried about Emilia's life. After all, the greatest value of a whelping dragon was not to kill and get a corpse.
Soon, nearly all groups of evil creatures living in the Black Blood Valley moved toward the Saranian Kingdom like a black tide.
Tesselton, on the edge of the Saranian Kingdom, was a plain near the upper reaches of the River Iss.
It was the territory of the Kingdom of Del, so there were many troops stationed here.
By the way, the ferocious species and monsters in the surrounding forests were used to train troops, so the strength of these troops stationed on the border was extraordinarily strong as they were skilled professionals.
They were not comparable to the defense forces of ordinary cities.
Two sentries stood on the wooden sentry tower, watching everything around them.
One of the soldiers stood on the sentry tower and yawned lazily.
Suddenly, he felt something moving in the forest in front of him.
"There seems to be something in front?"
Another soldier took a look. "It must be some violent ethnic group. These things just don't have a long memory. Our heavy crossbows are not vegetarian!"
"Let me tell you, you newcomers didn't know at that time..."
Before the veteran finished his tale, a black wave rushed out of the forest.
Countless evil creatures surged out with monstrous momentum.
The two sentries were stunned when they saw this sight.
"Run! Run!"
Before the two sentries got down from the top of the sentry tower, the entire wooden structure was directly pushed down by a few bear goblins.
The two sentries fell into the horde of evil creatures and were overwhelmed on the spot.
A lizardman swallowed a bloody human arm.
Lizardmen and kobolds were a bit similar, but they were completely different. Lizardmen were stronger and belonged to a powerful warlord system with their own inherited professionals, like hobgoblins.
The one in front was the leader of the entire lizard people. He was tall and burly, with green scales covering his body and armor on his wrists.
Holding a huge bone club in his hand, he also carried a shield with spikes on his back.
"This time, I must let the great Master Dragon see the true strength of our tribe." The lizardman leader still had red blood dripping from his mouth.
The movement here had been discovered by the defenders of Tesselton.
The general standing on the city wall felt his scalp tingle when he saw the densely packed dark creatures in the distance.
"Damn it, why are so many dark creatures attacking us?"
Tesselton only had more than 4,000 human soldiers, and some were newly recruited.
"The caster hasn't arrived yet?"
"They're already here; they're setting up the magic circle..."
"Monsters are attacking the city! Hurry up!"
"Use the siege crossbows!"
---
But it was already too late.
The Lizardmen had climbed the walls.
Some half-dragons were mixed in, and the half-dragon Tursen had already hacked down four human warriors.
Seeing several senior human fighters rushing toward him, Tursen's chest began to heave.
Puff~
A red flame breath spewed from Tursen's mouth, causing deaths and injuries among the soldiers defending the city.
Tursen, a red half-dragon, could use a breath similar to a red dragon, though it was very different from even a beast red dragon.
Whether it is power or other aspects, it needs to accumulate strength in advance, but this also makes him possess very strong abilities.
The leader of the lizardmen glanced this way and felt a little uneasy.
It seems that I have one more competitor.
---
In my Black Blood Lake, I settled here until the destruction of this kingdom and was checking the battle situation through the chain of soul in my mind.
This time, hardly any guards were left around in the Black Blood Valley.
I even sent out Shadar, Doug, Vickers, and the newly recruited half-dragon guards.
They divided into four groups and headed towards the territory of the Saranian Kingdom, just like four dragon claws.
I'm not afraid of anyone taking my back at all. After all, I have almost consumed all the treasures here.
The rest is in Castle Black, and I don't have the same attachment that other true dragons have to enjoy being on top of treasure piles all the time.
And there is still the silver dragon Argenta here, and her strength is also very good.
On the contrary, I was looking forward to someone coming to deliver food.
"Lord, isn't it a bit..." the silver dragon Argenta whispered, referring to the large-scale invasion of the human kingdom.
Ever since the twisted seed merged into her body, Argenta had almost no ill feelings towards me.
Argenta would not have such an inquiring attitude when encountering such things in the past...
"If they are not allowed to attack the human kingdom, why do they fight here? And if the royal family of the Saranian King dares to enslave a true dragon, they will have to pay the price!" I said, close to Argenta.
Argenta looked at the ignorant Hannah next to me, and when she thought of a black dragon of similar size being tortured by humans, she felt much less sympathy for them…
But she didn't expect the black dragon to launch such a war for his own child.
Since when were the most evil dragons so tender...?
I felt that Argenta seemed to be imagining something, but I didn't correct her.
---
Black Dragon's subordinates attacked very quickly.
By the time the Saranian Kingdom reacted, it had already lost many cities.
Most of the surrounding cities had been breached by dark creatures.
These hobgoblins and lizardmen are different from those who simply swarm in.
After capturing the human city, they first integrated all the equipment and then used the human fortifications for protection.
Then, they began searching for all the treasures and ores in the city.
As the dependents of a true dragon, it is impossible for them not to know the hobbies of their master.
"Damn it, why is our kingdom suddenly invaded by dark creatures!" some nobles in the kingdom complained.
This kind of war is different from conflicts with other countries.
The dark creatures don't care whether you are a nobleman or a commoner beggar; as long as you resist, they will kill or even eat you.
This terrified the upper echelons of the kingdom, who claimed to be civilized nobles.
After all, in wars with other kingdoms, there is generally a tacit agreement—not to kill nobles, but to allow them to buy their freedom with money.
"It seems that the royal family captured the black dragon's child, a little black dragon."
"But isn't that black dragon a male? Aren't dragon cubs raised by females?"
"Hey, who cares? Anyway, I heard it's probably close to thirty. A distant relative of mine works in the palace, and they've said the place is heavily guarded these days.
There are even dragon roars from time to time. It seems the royal family really provoked it first!"
"Isn't this madness?"
"Who said otherwise?"

"The human army seems to be preparing to counterattack!" The leader of the lizardmen sat on a city wall and observed the human army formation in the distance.
The human city he was in had almost been reduced to a dead zone.
Seeing the neatly lined-up soldiers advancing towards them with great momentum, the lizardman leader wasn't worried at all.
"Prepare to attack. We will destroy these human armies!" the lizardman leader said confidently.
After all, he considered himself far superior to those low-order creatures.
Immediately, countless lizardman soldiers stood on the city wall, holding sharp spears in their hands.
There were also some lizardmen soldiers playing with human heavy crossbows and giant scorpion crossbows.
Soon, the soldiers beneath the city wall began attacking the city with trebuchets...
But they didn't notice what was beneath their feet.
Rumbling~
The ground beside the city began to sink.
Rows of metal spikes were exposed, and the previously well-ordered army formation was thrown into chaos.
Suddenly, screams filled the air.
After all, digging holes and setting traps is the lizardmen's forte.
"Throw stones, arrows, and spears—throw them all out!" The lizardman leader issued his command calmly.
"Yes!"
The efficiency with which the lizardmen executed orders was terrifying.
They fired their spears, bows, and crossbows like machines.
The senior fighters among the human forces could only rely on their superior strength to avoid the traps, looking for opportunities to retaliate.
And the leader of the lizard people has already had a countermeasure against these.
Black Dragon took a cursory glance and found that he really had quite a few talents under his command.
Just like this lizardman leader, the military quality of the lizardmen army under him is almost the same as the regular army he knew in his previous life.
There are also hobgoblins and bear goblins. These two tribes have killed 200,000 Saranian troops.
It's just that they put more energy into searching for treasures and ores for black dragon.
And those half-dragon people are even more outrageous.
There are only more than 30 of them in number, but they can't hold back their strength.
So their targets are those nobles in various cities and the like, and they rob a few of them who feel that they are more wealthy.
***
Now I have accumulated a lot of storage magic tools.
I looked at the destroyed human cities and the dead through the chain of soul without any fluctuation in my heart.
It's better to just grab a wave and leave. As for using the advanced concepts of the previous life to rule the world's human beings, improve the economy, etc., or plant red flags everywhere, I have never thought about it.
I'm a dragon after all...
I'm too lazy to do this kind of thing. Anyway, the world is so big and there are so many kingdoms, so it's right to go around everywhere.
Food ingredients are the most important!
Next, I have one more important thing to do.
I wanted to find high-grade ingredients with water attributes before, but I couldn't find them.
The half-dragon man Tursen told me that there seemed to be some powerful monsters with water attributes in the South Sea Bay but it was also filled with overlords.
