The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 275's

Turning into the shape of a Dragonblood Warrior, Linley started tracking from the Bonai River all the way to the border town of Neil, carefully scanning the surrounding area. Many times, he had to rest to recover his spiritual energy.

He spent six full days searching, and saw all the nearby towns as well.

Yet…

He didn't find Reynolds.

"Mr Linley, don't worry. Once our Dawson conglomerate finds young master Reynolds, we'll definitely make sure he's safely home. ”

A superintendent of the Dawson Conglomerate in one of the prefectural cities on the border of the Rohault Empire said respectfully to Linley.

Linley nodded slightly.

Right now, the only option he had was to entrust this task to the Dawson Conglomerate. In his heart, Linley felt a little confused. “Where did Fourth Bro run? Why didn't he go to the headquarters of the Dawson Conglomerate branch? The Dawson conglomerate has branches in each of the various prefectural cities. ”

Actually, Linley did not understand.

Reynolds was completely terrified by the time he spent on the slave ship. Reynolds had decided that as long as he was within the borders of the Rohault Empire, no matter what happened, he would not enter the big city. Although the major cities had the headquarters of the Dawson Conglomerate branch, the city also had a slave organization. If he was captured by the slave organizations, once he was discovered by them, he would be in trouble.

“Any risk of being caught is too much risk. I prefer to take a few side routes. “Reynolds was very firm in his decision.

Given his strength, heading to the Anarchist Country through several cross-country trips was not very difficult. Once he reached the Anarchist Land, he would then make contact with the Dawson Conglomerate. At that time, he would be able to return safely.

By nightfall, in a common courtyard within the prefectural city of the Empire's Southeast Administrative Province of O'Brien. Zassler, the Barker brothers, Rebecca, Leena, and Jenne are all here.

The sound of knocking can be heard. Carrying the huge greataxe on his back, Gates stepped forward and opened the door. At the front door were three officers, all pushing food carts.

"What took you so long?" Gates swept the three men with his ox-like gaze, causing their hearts to tremble. In front of the huge Gates, the three of them were like little children.

Suddenly, the roar of beasts sounded from the courtyard. Three officers turned towards the voice …

Blackcloud Panther, Haeru, lazily walked over. The natural, monstrous aura of a top grade magical beast like Blackcloud Panther was more than enough to make hearts tremble. Haeru glanced at the three with his dark and cold eyes, then disdainfully turned his head and lay on the ground.

The three officers exchanged glances, not daring to make a sound.

They immediately put all the food dishes on the table, then quickly left. As they walked out of the courtyard, they wiped the cold sweat off their foreheads.

“Who are these people? The five men are amazing! ”

“And the axe was huge. They should weigh at least a thousand pounds each. ”

"And the old man. He looks like a skull. All he did was glance at me, and I felt fear. But the three women were of course beautiful. If I could marry such a beautiful girl, I would be willing to shorten my lifespan by several dozen years. ”

In the eyes of this hotel maid, the guests on this page were clearly a very, very powerful entity. While Zassler and the others ate, Bebe and Haeru remained in the courtyard. This was because they could sense .. that Linley was heading back at high speed.

A moment later, Linley, wearing a deep blue robe, landed from the sky.

"Mr Linley. “Barker and his brothers ran to greet him excitedly. Jenne, Rebbeca, and Leena all came to greet him as well.

"Linley, how did it go? Did you find Reynolds? "Zassler asked.

Linley shook his head. Right now, Linley was in a pretty good mood. Since the slave trade organization had yet to find Reynolds, given Reynolds' strength as a magus of the seventh rank, as long as he did not anger someone strong, he should not be in danger.

"The Fourth Bro had been a soldier for many years now, and the slave trade organization no longer pursued him. "Linley was very confident in her friend.

“If Reynolds cannot return safely under such favorable conditions, he will not deserve to be your brother, Sir. The Rohault Empire was usually very stable and very safe. "Say Gates hard. "In the past, when we brothers were only fighters of the seventh rank, we lived a beautiful life in the Northern Eighteen Duchies. ”

Linley laughed.

He entered the room with the others and began to eat dinner.

"Linley's. "Zassler put down his tools, then asked," We're going to Anarchist Country. What's your plan? "

Linley knew that Zassler was the most experienced member of his team. With an eight hundred year old man by his side, many things would be easier to accomplish.

"Zassler, what do you think we should do?" Ask Linley.

Barker said, "Mr Linley, in fact, I imagine that the Anarchist Land must be very similar to our Northern Region. You do all your talking with your fist. Given our incredible strength, we will definitely be able to quickly build up a strong force. ”

Zassler nodded. "What Barker has just described is one type of method, yes. Linley .. I believe we have two options now. The first was what Barker had just said. By using our reputation as Saints, we can quickly dominate a vast territory. In the Anarchist Country, the Saint's rallying call was very effective. ”

Linley nodded slightly.

Anarchist countries are often in a state of chaos and war. The citizens caught up in this chaotic battle were eager for their leader to become a powerful figure. If he were to publicly announce himself as a Saint, there would definitely be many people willing to follow Linley.

After all, Saints would be able to provide good safety and security to their followers.

"The second method is, at least at first, not to announce your status, Linley. We'll start in a smaller area. First, we will find an ordinary small town where the lives of commoners are very bad. Even if I had to act alone, I could easily take over such a small city. And then, we will slowly expand into the big cities, then establish our own Duchy. And then, we move on, step by step. In the past .. I myself was the Grand Duke in the Land of Anarchists. "Zassler laughing.

After all, the first method could only be used by powerful experts with extraordinary strength.

"Sir, what method do you want to use?" Zassler looked at Linley. “The first method benefit is fast. Within a year, we can easily take over countless Duchies in the Anarchist Country. The second method is slower, but allows us to have a more stable foundation. ”

Jenne, the other two girls, Barker, and her siblings were all staring at Linley, waiting for his decision.

"Zassler, we'll do the second method. "Linley made a decision after pondering for a moment.

“Our target is Radiant Church, and Radiant Church is very expert in seducing the masses. We must move slowly, step by step, and let the common people be fully prepared to follow our orders. We need to give them a strong sense of belonging. Otherwise.even if we take over a large amount of territory, when we fight against the Radiant Church, we will have many traitors and riots. "Say Linley.

Zassler laughed and nodded.

"All right then . We will quietly expand. We won't attract attention. Otherwise, if we start to raise Linley's banner from the beginning, we will attract a lot of hostility from many areas. ”

Zassler was silent for a moment, then continued. "Linley, the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows both had tremendous influence in the Anarchist Land. If you want to expand there, I think ..the first step is to start closer to the Forest of Darkness. In other words, the northernmost region of the Anarchist Land. ”

Linley raised an eyebrow. "Northern Anarchist Land?"

"really. Near the Dark Forest. Due to frequently suffering attacks from magical beasts from the Dark Forest, the people in the area were extremely sturdy and extremely ruthless. Some residents in the area had a lot of faith in the Radiant Church. They worship the strong. Moreover, given our strength, we have nothing to fear at all with those low and medium-level ferocious beasts at all. "Zassler smiles.

Hearing Zassler's words, Linley agreed in his mind.

“From the eastern edge to the western edge of the northern part of the Anarchist Land approximately a thousand miles. There were many small towns with only a few tens of thousands of citizens in them. There will be many choices for us. ”

Zassler said confidently.

As Zassler saw it, occupying and taking over a city in the Anarchist Land of only a few tens of thousands was as easy as breathing. Neither the Zassler nor the Barker brothers could easily establish the rank of a Prince in the Land of Anarchists, alone, let alone occupy a small town.

This Linley team is really strong.

He had an entire group of Saints, and Linley, Bebe, and Haeru were peak-level Saints. Most likely, even the powerful hidden strength the Radiant Church possessed within the Anarchist Land could not match Linley for power.

For such a team, establishing a headquarters in the Anarchist Land was very easy.

The anarchist lands were more than half the size of the O'Brien Empire, and were clearly equivalent in size to the current Radiant Church, the Rohault Empire, and the Rhine Empire.

A long time ago, when calculations had been made in the Anarchist Land, it was discovered that 48 Duchies had a total population of over three hundred million. Such a large population was not much lower than the population of the Rhine Empire and the Spiritault Empire. Years of chaotic fighting have not brought down such a population. Instead, all that had been done was to make the people in the area become even more vicious and vicious.

This kind of chaotic area was truly a playground for powerful experts!

After crossing the border, Linley and his team entered the Anarchist Land. After entering their first city in the Anarchist Land, Linley could feel the crazy and chaotic state of the people here.

“The years-long war has caused food to be very expensive in the Land of Anarchists. Although some of the Duchies had worked hard to try to end the war during the harvest season, at times, they were still forced to do battle.

The Anarchist Land was completely different from the Holy Union and the O'Brien Empire.

In the cities of the Holy Union and the O'Brien Empire, one could feel an aura of peace and friendliness. The noble ladies and young ladies there were all dressed in luxurious clothes and taking leisurely walks on the streets.

But in the Anarchist Land, the armored warriors could be seen everywhere, and the cities were filled with a ferocious aura, giving off the feeling that one wrong word could result in murder. It's the norm here.

Linley's team continued to travel towards the north. As they traveled, they carefully observed the local area, gaining a better understanding of the Anarchist Land.

"A priest?" Linley looked from afar at someone dressed as a priest. “Radiant Church Dialan. The chapel can be seen everywhere in the Anarchist Land, and all of them openly preach and spread religion to the Radiant Church … "

As they continued to travel, Linley's heart grew heavier.

The influence of the Radiant Church here is indeed extraordinary.

Linley's team moved quite quickly. After traveling for approximately ten days, they arrived at the northern part of the Anarchist Land. Linley and his people entered a small town known as 'Blackdirt City'.

Daytime.

In a private room in an ordinary hotel, Zassler said to Linley, "Based on my investigation from this morning, the governor of the city of this place, Blackdirt City, is a classic example of all muscles, he said, without brain. All he wanted to do was become the ruler of a small town and enjoy the life of a local tyrant. He was very tyrant and oppressed the commoners .. I think this should be suitable for us to take over as our first small town. ”

"But this is just the first city we considered!" Linley was surprised.

Zassler laughing. "It's normal . In the Anarchist Country, aside from the few Duchies, most of the rulers were extremely oppressive towards their citizens. After all, wars could break out at any time and they might lose strength. Naturally, they will want to enjoy it while they can. ”

Linley nodded slightly.

"Good . Then let's start with this Blackdirt City. "Linley decided immediately.

The eyes of the Barker brothers nearby lit up. Gates was the first to say excitedly, “God, don't worry. You don't have to do anything. We would just head over and kill that leader, and then scare off the several thousand submissive soldiers. There will be nothing difficult at all about that. ”

The five Barker brothers had led an army to fight in Eighteen North Duchies. They love a life that pumps blood like that.

"God, don't worry. Tonight, you will be staying inside the Blackdirt City governor's house. “Barker slaps his chest while talking.
