The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 281's

The Yulan calendar, 10010. 5 January. Night time . The world was covered with a dim grey cloth, and in some colder places, the snow had yet to melt. Right now, the city of Tours [Tu'er] is under tremendous pressure.

The city governor of Tours stood on his wall, staring out desperately. Outside the city, there were a number of indeterminate people who could not be seen clearly.

"How many people does Blackdirt City have?" The city governor, Delai [De'lei] shouted a question to his subordinates.

“Master Governor, the scouts came to report to us as soon as they saw the enemy troops. They could not clearly see how many men they had. However, their leader seemed to be one of the five legendary wargods that Blackdirt City possessed. ”A nearby subordinate reported back in a panic.

"One of the five wargods?" The governor of the city panicked. "Is he of the ninth rank just because he said he is? Shit, I can say that I am a Saint! All of you, be careful. You must endure. ”

"Yes, Mr. Governor. "The soldiers agreed.

Tours City did not dare to accept the attackers in open combat on the open ground. They could only stay inside the city and keep watch. After all, defense is always easier than offense.

The second brother, Ankh, stared coldly at the distant city. Blackdirt City has entered into full mobilization mode. Of the five main battalions, only one was left to guard the city, while the other four battalions, under the leadership of Ankh, Hazer, Boone, and Gates went to attack the four nearby towns.

"Stop!" Ankh raised his right hand and shouted loudly.

Instantly, 1800 soldiers came to a halt. Everyone stared respectfully at the large figure in front of them. The five Barker brothers were balanced in their treatment of the soldiers, giving suitable rewards and punishments, and they spent most of their time with the soldiers as well.

When soldiers are trained, they are also trained.

As the soldiers ran around carrying heavy loads, the five Barker brothers would train while carrying huge stones weighing hundreds of thousands of pounds. The soldiers of Blackdirt City naturally grew to further adore their leader.

"Soak, listen!" Ankh roared furiously.

That voice, filled with Undying battle-qi, echoed in Tours City like thunder. The hearts of the Tours City soldiers trembled. That huge voice alone caused their spirits to drop drastically. The legend seems to be true. How could they reject an expert like this?

The city's governor, Delai, also grew panicked. But he did not want to give up his base.

“Tell me what you want to say. Don't waste time. Delai called out his courage and shouted, but even though his voice was quite loud on the wall, by the time he reached Ankh, his voice had already become very soft, with no sign of threat.

Ankh kept shouting like a loudspeaker. “Delai, if you offer Tours City to us, we can forgive you. Otherwise ... greataxe I will not show mercy. "When Ankh spoke, many of the soldiers in Tours City began to have thoughts of treason.

Moreover, long before Blackdirt City launched its attack, many people in Tours City had secretly surrendered to Blackdirt City.

"Oh, you want to fight to the end?" Ankh's voice once again echoed in the ears of all the Tours City soldiers.

"Kill it!" A loud cry that shattered the sky.

Many of the soldiers on the walls of Tours City were frightened by this shout. From below, they could hear countless warriors shouting furiously, "Kill!" "Kill it!"

…

They all charged wildly into the walls of the Tourism City, their shields held high. Those ferocious and roaring knights made the city guards panic.

"Farmers! Shoot 'em! Shoot them dead! ”The city governor, Delai, shouted angrily, his face red.

The archers on the city walls immediately lowered their bows, then started shooting arrows at the attacking enemy. Most of the arrows in this first volley hit the shield. Some injured some of the soldiers of Blackdirt City. Three unlucky soldiers were shot dead.

"Shoot them all to death!" Delai roared furiously.

But before the second volley was unleashed, Ankh advanced, surpassing his army by more than a hundred yards and rushing to the city gate. With a powerful howl, he brandished a terrifying greataxe and gave the city gate thunder.

"BANG!"

The entire city wall shook, and the gates to Tours City instantly shattered into pieces that flew everywhere. Even in his human form, Ankh was a fighter of the ninth rank. There was no difficulty at all for him to break through the defenses of these soldiers.

"The city gate is dead!"

"Wargod is coming in!"

All sorts of screams could be heard from within Tours City. Even the city's governor, Delai, upon realizing that the gate had been breached, instantly turned pale.

"Whoosh!" With each wave of greataxe, the surrounding soldiers instantly shattered into pieces, sending blood and flesh everywhere. All the soldiers nearby started to retreat in fear. Ankh, covered by his Eternal Battle-qi, looked completely demonic.

Twirling the terrifying greataxe about, Ankh roared furiously, "Those who stand against me will die!"

Ankh brandishes his greataxe about like a tornado, but this 'tornado' is visible. Anything touched by this 'tornado' instantly exploded into pieces. At first, several Tours City soldiers had attempted to attack, but after that, no one dared to approach this demon.

In a moment, the Blackdirt City army swept through the city through the gates.

"We surrender! We're surrendering!"

First, one voice called out to surrender, but then, many voices joined in. By the time Ankh and his bloody greataxe arrived at the city wall, the soldiers on the wall had all laid down their weapons, while the city governor, Delai, was tied up with ropes and placed on the floor. Several military officers were there, awaiting the arrival of the Ankh.

“My lord, my name is Ford [Fu'er'de]. ”One of the military officers said respectfully.

“Oh, so you're Ford. ”

The Ankh knew very well that Ford was one of the military officers who had surrendered to them even before the battle began. Many do. Given that Blackdirt City had five Barker brothers, how could they possibly lose?

When two forces are roughly at the same level of strength, perhaps some strategy and deception will be effective. But once the gap of power reaches a sufficient level, as it is now, where can the Ankh alone destroy the power of Tours City? A battle like this had no possible outcome at all. There is no chance of losing.

Yulan Calendar, Year 10010. 5 January. Blackdirt City began its conquest.

By January 6, Linley's side already had five cities, and the number of people they controlled, including various satellite towns and villages, was a total of nearly three million. However, in general, in the Anarchist Land, only the entity controlling the prefectural city was considered a Duchy.

Linley's side had five cities, but all of them were small towns, with only a few tens of thousands of people within the city. But a prefectural city could accommodate hundreds of thousands of citizens.

After this lightning-fast battle ended, Linley's side temporarily stopped attacking. Instead, they quickly began to reorganize their forces. The original five battalions of Blackdirt City were now part of the 'First Legion', which was the most core army. The other four legions belonging to the other four cities all saw their military pay levels rise to about two-thirds of the First Legion's pay.

Taxes on ordinary people were lowered by more than half.

Each legion now had nine thousand people. In the Yulan continent, a large legion could reach up to twenty thousand people. In the Anarchist Land, however, as the wars were relatively spread, Linley decided to lower the number of people per legion, forming five battalions to each legion.

The five legions quickly began to train together and organise internally.

The surrounding cities all sensed the threat, but they knew that Blackdirt City's army was too strong. While the Blackdirt City army was still busy training and reorganizing, a nearby town voluntarily surrendered. His reason? The previous governor of the city had taken all of his enormous wealth and bodyguards and fled the city.

Barker and Zassler both arrive at Mt. Black crow . They looked at the mountain.

"Barkers. “Zassler suddenly speaks.

Barker looked at Zassler. Zassler said, “Hazer has reached the ninth rank on the way to Anarchist Country. Now, the five of you have the power of a Saint. I will make my breakthrough in the next year or two as well. Think about it .. with you five brothers who make up the bulk of our military power, with me providing support, and of course, most importantly of all, with Linley and his two powerful magical beasts .. with such powerful strength, we can establish our own kingdom, or maybe even an empire!

"Mr . Zassler, what do you mean? ”Barker's eyes sparkle.

Zassler said seriously, “Barker, now, this continent has six major powers. Other than the O'Brien Empire and the Yulan Empire, the other forces, namely the Rohault Empire, the Rhine Empire, the Holy Union, and the Dark Alliance, had no Gods among their ranks. ”

Barker nodded in agreement.

"As for the Spiritault Empire and the Rhine Empire, these two Empires did not even have experts on the same level as Haydson. But not only do we have Linley, we also have Bebe. “Zassler is very confident. “The most important aspect of establishing a kingdom is the power of the highest level experts. The stronger the highest-level members, the better the opportunities they have. ”

Barker was getting excited too.

"Mr . Zassler, are you saying that we should build an empire together? "Barker looked at Zassler.

Zassler laughing. “It was just one of the things I considered. Our current goal is to destroy the influence of the Radiant Church in the Anarchist Country. However, the Radiant Church currently occupied nearly a third of the territory of the Anarchist Land. To eliminate it, we will need a lot of land as well. After destroying them and taking over their territory .. we will control over half of the Anarchist Land. At that time, we will then deal with the Cult of Shadows .. and the Anarchic Lands will then be ours. ”

Barker felt his heartbeat increase.

The Anarchist State is an area that is constantly in chaos and chaos. Although it was in size, it was smaller than the O'Brien Empire, still comparable to the Rhine Empire and the Spiritault Empire.

"Found a kingdom .." Barker's eyes shone.

“Haha, don't be in a hurry. One step at a time . Given our current strength, with all of us working together, it should not be too difficult for us to take over at least ten Duchies in the Anarchist Land and at least find an empire. "Say Zassler with confidence.

Barker nodded repeatedly.

Rohault Empire. Rhine Empire. How many Saints do they have? The roots of these two Empires were not as deep as the roots of the O'Brien Empire and the Yulan Empire, nor did they have the help of the Angel of Descendants like the Radiant Church or the Cult of Shadows.

For example, the Spiritault Empire could produce at most only ten Saints.

Linley's side had five Immortal Warriors. Once Barker and his brothers reached Saint level in human form, they would have the strength of an immortal Saint Level Warrior. If the five of them worked together in concert with Linley and Bebe.

So why can't they find the Empire?

“Occupying the whole Anarchist Country will be a little difficult. After all, there are many complicated aspects in this place. "Zassler smiles. “But I still feel very confident. Zassler turned around and looked towards the mountain. Black crow . Linley was there, on the mountain.

Zassler slowly said, “In my mind, I have a purpose. One day, we will create a powerful empire, and Linley .. he will be to our empire what the God of War is to the O'Brien Empire. ”

"God of War?" Barker was shocked.

Zassler smiled and nodded.

A great and mighty empire could only be established with a cadre of top-tier experts that stirred fear. For example, in reality, the Rhine Empire and the Spiritault Empire were both dependent on the Yulan Empire, precisely because they did not possess sufficient top-tier strength.

But in the empire that Zassler dreamed of, a top-tier power was Linley.

Just like how the God of War watched over the O'Brien Empire and the High Priest watched over the Yulan Empire .. Linley's future will also be watching over his future kingdom! But of course, the current Linley did not yet possess that much strength.

"He was only twenty-eight years old, but he had already reached a terrifying level. Can you imagine what a person like him could achieve in the future? ”Zassler laughed as he glanced at Barker.

Barker nodded.

Barker and his brothers were completely blown away by Linley's prowess.

"Let's go . Let's see Linley. "Zassler laughing.

Zassler, this old fox who had lived for more than eight hundred years, now had a special passion that excited him. He wanted to see the Yulan continent bring up another Empire. How interesting that is!
