Chapter 27: Chaos

"Sakavi, how about we have white-cut little girl for lunch today?"

"I don't have any human little girls here, I can't make that."

"Good fellow, you actually dared to steal and eat it all by yourself, you didn't even know to leave some for me!"

"I didn't eat it, I sent it all to the Black Forest."

"Why did you send it there? Wood Elves only eat vegetables; it's a waste to send it there."

"Do you really not know why I was hacked to death by a dozen Legendary Rankers in the Abyss last time?"

"Didn't you say there was no problem this time?"

"You actually dare to believe the words of a merchant like Yaluze."

"Fine, if there's nothing to eat, then we won't eat. You are really lacking people here! Have you considered recruiting some help?"

"Do you have any suitable recommendations?"

"I do, it's just that I don't know if you can invite them."

"I'll only know if I try."

"When I was in the Grand Duke's territory of Last, I knew someone. He is a White Dragonborn. Because he was squeezed out everywhere in the Grand Duke's territory, he left at the age of twelve. He currently resides in Thorn City and is a ranger."

In this world, non-normal creatures are very squeezed out and often suffer from various forms of discrimination. A large part of the reason is that these people are Dragonborn. Many chromatic dragons have relations with various animals, and the offspring born are called Dragon Beasts, while those born with intelligent creatures are called Dragon Men.

However, there are some exceptions, where the offspring are intelligent creatures with dragon blood, such as Sakavi's Harpy daughter. Creatures like Kobolds are just hybrids of who knows how many generations, only carrying a bit of dragon blood.

After listening to Klaussuna's introduction, Sakavi decided to take a trip to Thorn City. Various creatures with dragon blood have a natural sense of closeness to dragons, and dragons do not dislike various creatures with dragon blood, so the two sides often walk very close.

"Su Lai De, come out quickly, I've come to see you!"

"Klaussuna? Aren't you with Grand Duke Last? Why have you come to me?"

"I'm not working there anymore. They don't pay for work, I'd starve to death sooner or later. Look, this is my new employer, are you interested in working together?"

"No, I don't want to serve anyone."

"Don't misunderstand, Sakavi is a decent person. Apart from his hobby of raiding, there are no problems. His biggest hobby is studying magic."

"I said, I'm not interested."

"Friend, name your price! I need a vassal with your strength."

"Now get out of here immediately."

Seeing this white-haired, blue-eyed human directly close the door, Sakavi could only leave with Klaussuna, find a small tavern, drink some turbid wine brewed from unknown fruits, and discuss what to do next.

"Klaussuna, has this friend of yours experienced something? He seems to have a bit of malice toward me."

"Sakavi, you must know that at the bottom of this world, weakness is the original sin. Not everyone can be like you, able to fight wild wolves from birth."

"In places without order, good-looking boys are much more dangerous than pretty girls. It just so happens that we are so weak that we can't survive independently once we leave that kind of environment. You, who grew up in the wild, should not be able to understand."

"At that time, I was big, black, and ugly, and no one wanted to do anything to me. Su Lai De is different. You should be able to imagine what he has experienced."

"Who was involved? I want to know the identities of everyone."

"Leave this to Vilna, this is her job."

"If I want to show sincerity, I can only do it myself. Do you want to join in the fun?"

"Very happy to!"

…………

"Su Lai De, I'm back. Don't be in a hurry to drive people away, look at the gifts I brought first. You'd better come out, I don't want to dirty your house."

After saying that, Sakavi dumped a sack of heads on the ground and said proudly: "Friend, check if any are missing. You should know all these people."

Seeing Su Lai De trembling with his hands, picking them up one by one to check, after seeing them all, he suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "Su Lai De Rodel obeys your instructions, great master."

Sakavi hurriedly helped him up and said: "The dragon race does not need to kneel to anyone, unless it is the Father of Dragon Gods—Ao. You are Klaussuna's friend, which means you are my friend. From now on, we are allies."

"Whether it's killing, arson, or fighting on the battlefield, I have no second words."

"Good, I, Sakavi, swear to the Dragon Queen of Five Heads that I will never do that kind of dirty business to any creature from now on."

Recently, the Underworld has become more and more active. Sakavi decided to send Su Lai De to the Underworld to investigate and see which forces are worth focusing on or eliminating in advance. Su Lai De is a Master Rank ranger, and his combat power is very reassuring, which is very important for Sakavi, who is severely lacking in people.

Regarding his subordinates, Sakavi's attitude has always been better to have nothing than to have something inferior. When he was in the Underworld, several dragons came to join him, but seeing their hooligan-like aura, Sakavi directly drove them away.

If there are juvenile dragons who haven't reached adulthood, they can be taught well after staying by his side for a few years. Those who have already reached adulthood will either do all kinds of small tricks behind his back after being beaten into submission, or become traitors to his face if they haven't been beaten into submission.

After handling matters here, Sakavi immediately returned to his lair to sit in command. Recently, I don't know who leaked the fact that Sakavi has money, and various forces are peeking at Sakavi's Agrik every day.

Five dragons were caught in the act by Vilna one after another and were beaten up on the spot, but it was useless. Sakavi felt very puzzled: where does a Master Rank dragon get the confidence to rob a stronghold with a wizard tower guarded by two Legendary Rankers?

Recently, Vilna reported that traces of Drow Elves had been found near Agrik. Yesterday, they even caught a Mind Flayer, which is still locked in the dungeon. It just so happens that Su Lai De has arrived, so send him to the Underworld to teach those guys who don't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth a lesson.

During the period of fighting wits and courage with various forces, the construction of Agrik was also progressing rapidly. On July 14th, 1138 of the Red Moon Calendar, the castle that carried Sakavi's hope held its completion ceremony.

That's right, this is a purely military fortress, not open to the public. Only the noble elite of the Grand Duke's territory and the garrison can live inside.

Outside the fortress, Sakavi ordered people to build a complete residential area. Unlike Weilincheng, Agrik has no slums. Anyone who comes here looking for work can apply for a temporary dormitory in the residential area for free.

This fundamentally eliminates the chaos caused by unemployment, but Vilna said this is just wishful thinking; dark corners cannot be avoided and cannot be blocked at all.

Therefore, when she designed the residential area, she deliberately built the sewers extra wide and left plenty of room for modification. Since it cannot be avoided, then arrange them into the sewers, out of sight, out of mind, and it won't affect the image.

Looking at the castle that they couldn't get their hands on, these figures in the dark finally stopped peeking at the treasures here. Since there is nothing wrong here, Sakavi can start thinking about the treasures outside.

It has been three years since the rebellion was completely quelled. Although there are still sporadic reports of cultists or undead attacks in various places, they can't make any big waves. However, the Luo Sen Empire is not only not stable, but is becoming increasingly turbulent.

It is not just the local chromatic dragons that are abnormally rampant, but even more than a dozen chromatic dragons from other places have run over to join in the fun. Among them, the most famous is the Blue Dragon that occupies the north of the Braidaso Continent, who calls herself the Thunder Mother, Wendisha. This Legendary Dragon, after two years of bloody battles, finally slaughtered the Orc Blood Crossbow Tribe in Thorn City.

After occupying Thorn City, this short-tempered Blue Dragon immediately sent people to demand the title of Grand Duke from the Luo Sen Empire, saying that if they dared not to give it, she would directly destroy the Loga Grand Canyon. To show that she was not joking, she went to the Loga Grand Canyon and caused massive destruction before the letter was even sent to Skull-Crushing City.

The Luo Sen Empire, which could not spare any manpower, had no choice but to agree to appoint her as Grand Duke, but also gave conditions: she must expel other chromatic dragons from the Braidaso Continent. Wendisha had long been furious at the chromatic dragons who dared to compete with her for territory, but she had never been able to spare the time.

After half a year of contention, other dragons fled or surrendered, and the entire continent was cleared. Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Lady Redna invited Sakavi, Wendisha, Mo Ge, and the Sea Elf Grofin Wave-Chaser.

The four held a meeting in Lotag, the capital of the Wood Elves in the Black Forest, to discuss the continental situation, delineate the boundaries of all parties, and agree that no forces would be allowed to intervene in the continent anymore.

After the meeting, Sakavi asked about the situation on the Rodemelian Continent, which is where Grand Duke Last is located. The result was shocking: the Luo Sen Empire actually went to the Astral Plane and invited back a Copper Dragon Demigod, and appointed him as a Prince of the Blood.

This demigod was also not polite, directly establishing the Modus Principality and recruiting chromatic dragons to work for him. The remaining land, except for Grand Duke Last's territory, was basically divided up by dragons. The Luo Sen Empire issued a letter of appointment, appointing two more Dukes and three Marquises to four chromatic dragons and one Bronze Dragon.

The Black Forest alone occupied half of the territory of the Braidaso Continent, and the remaining places, except for the territories of two chromatic dragons, were less than one-eighth left, and they were very fragmented scraps. Sakavi generously suggested that they just divide it up, which received unanimous praise from all parties.

Other chromatic dragons who failed to compete had to flee back to the Underworld again. In this competition, because Tiamat had spoken first, the dragon race was not allowed to kill each other, so the dragon death rate was not high.

Only about a dozen or so jumpy ones died in various "accidents." A certain blue lady said that this matter absolutely had nothing to do with her.

Some smart chromatic dragons took the opportunity to loot everywhere while the Luo Sen Empire was unable to take care of both ends, and they actually made a fortune.

Of those who fought for territory, only three of the hundreds of dragons were local, successfully grabbed it, and obtained a legal status. This legal status was issued by the War God Society. With this, they would no longer be crusaded against.

Do not think that chromatic dragons really disdain legal status. If you occupy territory without status, a crowd of people will line up to find trouble for you.

With legal status, others can only trip you up in secret, but cannot openly deal with you, unless you directly rob a particularly powerful force. If you rob one or two small counts or merchants, no one will care. ===== CHAPTER 28 =====
