Chapter 100: William’s Ambition

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It took more than half a year of hard work and rapid development, but William was able to make the City of Dawn prosper.

When Annie gave the order, the Elves of Blue Moon Town became filled with grat.i.tude and antic.i.p.ation.

These 45,000 Elves had been residents of Blue Moon Town. Even if they had moved to the City of Dawn, they were still very different from the locals.

Annie had given up her rule over the Elves of Blue Moon Town, and she gave them a choice to integrate into the City of Dawn if they wanted to.

Without Annie’s order, even if the benefits of the City of Dawn had been extraordinary and his status being awe-inspiring, William would be unable to rule over the 45,000 Elves.

But now,

These Elves of Blue Moon Town decided to join the City of Dawn.

To the other Elves, it was good news. They were full of antic.i.p.ation for a brighter future because of the development of the City of Dawn and the great charisma of Lord William.

William did not miss the opportunity.

He posted recruitment orders for new soldiers, mages for the Magic Guild, and various other professions.

At the same time, he informed the Elves and the Human commoners that if they did not wish to join the regimental army, they could choose to join the less regimental mercenary army.

Of course, the selection criteria were stringent. Everyone had to be approved by William.

Many applications came for the army recruitment order.

The news spread to the spies and from them to the rulers of Iron Nation and Black Lava Nation.

The power of the City of Dawn had rapidly expanded, and the threat grew bigger and bigger.

The Iron Nation was well prepared, so the ruler was not worried.

However, the Black Lava Nation was caught off guard by this news. The nation prohibited all sale of slaves to the City of Dawn.

Curry had become a Count who controlled more than a thousand elite soldiers.

And after making repeated checks, he discovered that all the transportation routes were being controlled by the King’s soldiers, and they were hard to be bribed.

Curry had no choice but to inform William that the slave trade could not be carried out. Curry’s supporter dared not contravene the nation’s law. Otherwise, Curry and his supporter would be framed by their political enemies and be condemned as traitors.

His supporter was the top n.o.ble of the Black Lava Nation, the famous Marquis Chris, who controlled half the nation’s army!

He was also an ardent supporter of the Third Prince.

When the King of the Black Lava Nation died, he had not left any will. As the Crown Prince was influential, the enemy prince did not dare to ascend the throne. He could only serve as a steward to manage the affairs of the nation.

And the Crown Prince kept a close watch on Marquis Chris. So naturally, he did not want to be the leader and antagonize the Crown Prince.

The threat from the Iron Nation had not abated. And on top of that, William allowed the Iron Nation to construct a military fortress on the top of the cliff. Hence, Black Lava Nation had become extremely wary of the City of Dawn.

Even Marquis Chris believed that the City of Dawn was going to form an alliance with Iron Nation.

He did not support the Crown Prince.

But the n.o.bles of Black Lava Nation knew that the Iron Nation was having continuous improvements such as the abolishment of slavery and advocation for freedom.

If the Iron Nation invaded the Black Lava Nation, they would not keep the n.o.bles prisoners.

Due to both internal and external threats, Black Lava Nation became strangely united…

Astute observers could see the crux of these problems. As long as there were no threats from the borders, the internal strife for the throne would erupt, and it would be unstoppable.

The City of Dawn would not make any reckless moves because William’s military power was inferior. Moreover, there was a military fortress of Iron Nation keeping watch on them. And the City of Dawn was filled with numerous spies. The City of Dawn was also plagued by both internal and external threats.

The internal situation of the Iron Nation was also unstable. The King was controlled by Goethe Nasis, but the n.o.bles felt the threats and had become of the King’s power. That was the reason why the n.o.bles did not rebel!

It was the same situation in the Black Lava Nation…

The situation in the two nations and the City of Dawn was someone like running on a bridge. If one was not careful, one could fall down the cliff and lose everything.

In this situation, the three sides were busy preparing for battle and stabilizing their internal problems.

“This situation is most beneficial for my development.

“The development of the two nations has plateaued. They are unable to expand their armies. It is because the n.o.bles and the Kings are not sharing the load in maintaining the armies.

“They can only build high walls, store rations, and train their soldiers.

“Otherwise, they would not be selling the slaves and giving us a rare opportunity.

“I only need to change these slaves into commoners and let them become my workforce or even into military power, Then I can improve the capability of the City of Dawn steadily.”

William surveyed the north. Though the quality of his army was superior, their number was too inferior to overcome future crises.

His ambition was not the occupation of the Human territory.

But when the war would start,

His plans were to take over the wealth, food, and population of the two nations.

It was a shame that he could no longer obtain slaves from the Black Lava nation.

And the ones that Iron Nation was still able to deliver some slaves had a lot of spies in their midst!

There were very few people who could be used.

“But I have a last chance.” William’s gaze s.h.i.+fted to the snowy mountains of the East Sea. In his previous life, the Dragon-slaying expedition of Iron Nation had ended in failure. But it did not mean that William was unable to accomplish the same expedition.

Dragon-slaying?

What was it for?

Was it for the treasure of the Fire Dragon?

No!

It was for every drop of blood, every piece of meat, every bone, and every scale of the Dragon.

The value of a Dragon was immense.

Whether it was in the previous intact continent of the G.o.ds,

Or in the current legendary continent,

The Great Dragon, a legendary creature, was always sought after by the Humans. It didn’t matter if the Dragon was either subdued or killed, it would bring immense benefits to the Humans in any case.

Since the Iron Nation had the intention to kill Dragons.

It meant that they had the means to make use of the Dragon’s blood.

They could use the fresh Dragon blood to create a Dragon Followers legion. Even if it could make only a hundred of them, it would still be a powerful and mystical unit.

“I have to… take down this Dragon.” William clenched his fists.

It was such a rare opportunity.

The southeastern corner was a desolate area. The people did not understand the rules of the legendary continent and the enormous power of the Great Dragon.

Within the territories of the Human empire lived many Great Dragons.

Why did they not use the fresh blood of the Great Dragon to create the Dragon Followers?

With the power of the Human Empire, was it not easy to create ten legions of Dragon Followers?

But they dared not!

Humans had legendary warriors, mages, and warlocks.

The Dragon race also had legendary Dragons.

These legendary Dragons guarded various kinds of Dragons that had not matured.

The Dragons were once rules of the first era. And even after being defeated, they still remained a powerful force.

In densely populated areas, the Humans had Dragon Slayers, but these Dragon Slayers had only killed evil Dragons.

After these evil Dragons were killed.

A legendary and emotionless Great Dragon would appear as though it had already been hidden in a nearby place. Once the Dragon Slayer killed an evil Dragon, the legendary Great Dragon would deactivate the power of the Dragon’s blood before the Dragon Slayer left with their battle loot.

That was the reason why the Dragon Followers on the continent were such a small number…

The Fire Dragons inhabited the snow mountains of the East Sea. They would eat and sleep for the whole year. And even though they belonged to the evil elements of the Dragon race, they did not antagonize the Humans…

The supporters of the Fire Dragons would take revenge if anything happened to the Dragons…

But more importantly.

These legendary Great Dragons did not bother with the wild Dragons in desolate areas.

Their main goal was to prevent the Human empire from becoming stronger…
