Chapter 461 Development
Dragons are the most ferocious creatures on the continent of Sauron.
They are extremely sensitive to wealth, or more specifically, to gold.
Because Albar Rock is an important source of magic stones, the Dragon Church has tried to seize this land more than once, but has never succeeded.
Of course, it was just that they didn't succeed, but that didn't mean they failed. The Dragon Church was still a major force in the Albar region, which produced magic stones. When they learned that the people of the Empire would also come to Albar and even wanted to take over the magic stone region, these dragons immediately set out.
Two giant dragons are simply legendary beings in some small countries, impossible to fight against. Sauron has always been like that. Whenever they appear, the people on the ground will immediately flee in fear, leaving behind some brave people who can put up a fight against the dragons. As long as they survive, they will be awarded the title of hero.
This is how it should be, this is how it should be.
At first, the people on the ground were indeed terrified when they saw the dragon attacking, especially the gold prospectors and the local recruits trained by the Empire, who, as expected, seemed to have an innate fear of dragons.
But the imperial soldiers were different; they were curiously observing the giant dragon soaring freely in the sky.
"That's it? Why does Sauron seem to have shrunk a bit?"
A Lars Knight speaks in a public dream.
"Because the main force of the dragons died in the Second Continental War, those left in Sauron are mostly old, weak, sick, or young dragons."
Myron also connected to the public dream, where he explained things to the Lars Knights.
Upon hearing the news, the Lars Knights all showed signs of eagerness to try.
"Follow orders and do not underestimate the enemy."
As the voice rang out in the public dream, the Knights of Lars quickly sprang into action, and the missiles and anti-aircraft guns that had been prepared beforehand were brought out.
Immediately afterwards, the priests and nuns began to pray and bless the missiles and anti-aircraft guns, and the goddess's holy light seemed to faintly shine upon them.
Soon, the two dragons understood what a meteor shower falling from the ground to the sky meant.
......
Martha was very busy. More and more dragons came to her to ask about the situation on Mu Continent. Even the most stubborn conservatives had to admit the fact that the dragons had been defeated on Mu Continent.
The two dragons were returned, charred black, and by humans no less. This was the first time such a thing had happened to the dragons since they arrived on the continent of Solon.
Of course, the dragons could unite and drive the humans back from where they shouldn't be, using all their strength to kick the empire out. Just as many dragons have sensed, the human anti-aircraft missiles are not inexhaustible, at least not on the continent of Solon. Every missile launched is one less.
But so what? At least humanity has declared that the sky no longer belongs solely to the dragons, and besides, can the dragons really unite now?
Humans used photographic magic to record the scene of the dragon being defeated by the reversed meteor and spread it. After repeated study, the dragons found that the missiles' movements were extremely strange, and it seemed that there was really divine assistance behind them.
The dragons had heard of the legends of the human gods on the continent of Mu, and now, after the great war, the human gods seemed to have been reborn and become more united with humans.
These are not the false gods on the continent of Soren, but true gods who can bestow divine arts upon humankind.
To defeat those humans from the Empire, this factor must be taken into account.
Even if we take a step back and assume that the dragons truly unite and defeat humanity, supported by the gods, what if the next wave of imperial attacks comes? Judging from that black ship, the empire has already mastered the technology to reliably cross the Sea of Impermanence.
Is it really necessary to make an enemy of an empire that can defeat the main force of the dragons?
Moreover, Martha had already confirmed the situation on the Mu Continent. The dragons on the Mu Continent had truly made a fortune. They weren't afraid of their brothers suffering hardship, but rather of their brothers sleeping in golden beds. Martha could see this from the book called "Magazine" that she brought back from the Mu Continent. The dragons were indeed making money on the Mu Continent.
Although not every dragon can make money, it's still much better than living in the wild land of Solon.
After sending away yet another faction of dragons, Martha knew that the age of dragons was over. With the widespread dissemination of that image, the dragons could no longer unite, and dragons that could not unite posed no threat to the Empire.
Humans no longer fear dragons. The dragon's breath and claws will no longer be invincible. The dragon's scales will be unable to withstand the roaring meteors that fall from the earth into the sky. It's time to turn the page on the old era.
Martha found some stationery and began writing a letter to the blue dragon from the continent of Mu, who represented wisdom.
Albar Rock was quickly brought under Sean's complete control, and the gold prospectors were screened out, leaving behind a group of people who seemed honest and were willing to believe in the goddess to work and continue to assist in mining magic stones.
On the continent of Mu, magic stones are no longer relied on small-batch mining. Instead, they use obelisks as the core and continuously cycle through magic power. As long as it is properly controlled, the cycle can continue indefinitely. However, on the continent of Soren, these small-batch mining magic stones can still be considered the lifeblood of the empire and its absolute core.
With the help of these magic stones, more and more engineering facilities began to be built, and Sean was finally able to gain a foothold on the continent of Soren.
Since Neocastle stopped expanding after swallowing the Albar Rocks, many people took this opportunity to get closer to Sean and Rosalind.
Many countries have voluntarily offered large amounts of magic stones in exchange for cannons or other items from Sean.
One country didn't even exchange weapons; instead, they traded a complete set of magical lamps and some luxury goods with Sean.
This was something Sean couldn't understand, but in the end Sean chose to respect and offer his blessings.
The dazzling array of countries on the continent of Soren broadened Sean's horizons. At first, Sean was very busy, but after learning that most of the countries were actually just small kingdoms the size of villages, Sean finally had time to deal with other matters.
The group of madmen wielding super-tier magic and ready to perish together, as imagined, did not appear. Everyone knew that wherever a magic-free environment was blasted into a place, that place would become imperial territory, since you couldn't defeat the empire in a magic-free land.
In fact, many Soren people had already mentioned this tactic to Sean, but Sean rejected it. After all, the land without magic was not as simple as just being without magic. Losing magic would destroy many ecosystems. Sean promised not to use super-tier magic first, and for a moment, even the high-level professionals near Castile fell silent.
The Empire's scholars began collecting magic from the continent of Solon, and the Empire's bureaucrats began to take root there. Neocastia seemed to stop expanding for a moment, or perhaps it was digesting the results it had gained. Other countries could not guess, nor dared to guess.
However, various imperial customs began to become popular on the continent of Solon in a short time, except for the afternoon tea for noblewomen to study problems, because if you don't know, you don't know.
