Black Dragon Code

Chapter 76 Decision-making

It would be nice if this place was really the Underdark.

thought Caesar.

Before that, he had been living in the gap between the Green City and the northern countries, struggling to survive in the precarious wind and rain. In the wilderness, even if the black dragon had plans and ideas in his head, it was useless. There was no room for him to display it.

Not to mention the barrenness of the region, it is a cliché that if the races in that place are even slightly useful, they will be preempted by other forces, either enslaved by the Green City, or won over by humans. A young black dragon wants to stir up some troubles.

Not to mention subduing the population to build power, Caesar had a hard time even trying to live a more nourishing life. It took him a lot of thought just to get a Stone Crow clan into his pocket, and he was very careful and vigilant in the process.

Finally, things turned around, and Roy from the Northern Kingdoms stepped in again, making it difficult for the Black Dragon not to be angry.

But it's different now. In the Underdark Region, he has enough freedom to act arbitrarily. It is impossible for this place to give birth to a powerful existence that is almost legendary like the Poisonous Mother.

"Air."

Caesar sniffled, took a deep breath, and was surprised: "The oxygen content in this place is different from Elradia, and the concentration is higher than there."

After obtaining the autonomous control unit, the black dragon can perceive every detail of the body's response, and can easily distinguish the difference in the environment it is in.

"The temperature is okay."

Caesar glanced at the scattered gnolls: "But it seems that there are changes almost every moment."

Immediately afterwards, he fluttered his wings and found that the gravity was different. Flying here was much more difficult and strenuous than in Elradia.

Although the difference between each factor is relatively small, the combination of these things can cause a lot of obstacles to the alien creatures.

Caesar keenly discovered that the ability values ​​of the wolf man and the orc had dropped to varying degrees.

This point, even Garr and Hogg, who are the leaders, cannot avoid it.

The only one who can not be affected is the freak Heilong.

But it's not a big problem. Caesar knows that neither the gnolls nor the orcs are weak species. They all have the ability to survive in a relatively harsh environment. Now they just need to give them some time to adapt.

"Hogg."

Caesar called the leader of the gnolls who kept looking around: "You take the gnolls to investigate, we need information about this strange area, don't go too far, first figure out the situation within a kilometer around."

"Pay attention to searching for water and food, you have to survive first."

If you want to gather power in the Underdark Region, you must first survive and take root in this place. Food and water are two major problems that any creature needs to face.

He didn't send the little guy there. In the past, Luna did similar tasks in Mangye. She is small and knows some low-level hidden tricks, so she is very good at this task.

But this time is different, the Underdark is not wild, there are too many unknown factors, the little guy's self-protection ability is quite weak, and he will easily encounter danger.

Caesar also didn't send the orcs of the Stone Crow clan to go there, but chose the newly joined gnolls and let the orcs find a place to rest first.

Speaking of selfish preference, there are indeed, but more, the black dragon still considers it comprehensively.

The reason why Jackals were chosen to carry out the mission was that they were relatively sensitive, and they would not be as reckless as the orcs, who would kill the enemy directly when they saw them.

Wolf cubs know how to judge the situation, know how to protect themselves, and even choose to retreat or flee when they are powerless.

Running away, this is intolerable for other five-color dragons, but Caesar doesn't mind, each race has its own natural characteristics, the key is how to use it, such characteristics are conducive to making the wolf man better Perform reconnaissance missions.

At this stage, what the Black Dragon wants is information, not blood.

For newcomers, understanding the situation in this dark region is the most important thing.

If conditions permit, Caesar even feels that it is necessary to figure out the specific ecology of the Underdark region. Are the indigenous populations here scattered and fighting on their own? Or has there been a ruler, established a stable social formation in the shape of a pyramid?

This is very important to Caesar and will affect his subsequent judgments and decisions.

However, these things will not be rushed for a while, at least it will take a period of contact with the indigenous population to understand. Caesar also knows this truth, but he is always restless.

If he takes it slowly, step by step, and expands the population with gentle means, even if there are no waves, it will take at least a few decades, or even longer, for him to fully control this dark region.

In fact, in Elradia, there are many dragons who sleep for decades. This time is nothing to dragons, and it can be said to be fleeting.

But for the human race, a few decades is enough time for a baby to grow up, marry a wife and have children, and it is also enough for a young man to enter his twilight and a mature man to enter the coffin.

Caesar didn't want to wait until he made a comeback and killed Elradia. When he found Roy, he saw an old man who was delirious and at the mercy of others, and even faced the lonely and silent gravestone.

That was a kind of sadness for Caesar, and he couldn't accept it, so the black dragon only gave him ten years, within ten years, he would completely rule this dark region.

Only by means of violence.

If you choose the Huairou plan, apart from the lure of benefits, Caesar can't find any other way to subdue the native races of the Underdark, and he can't give benefits at all.

Even if the creatures in the Underdark were also coveting gold coins, the Black Dragon would not be able to give them back, and his wealth was still buried in the settlement of the Stone Crow Clan. It was the final payment from Roy for the last batch of summer grass drink, before Caesar had time I used it, but I didn't have time to take it away.

They can only be tied to their chariots by violent means.

As for the possible deception and betrayal, this guy also thought of a solution, and decided to follow suit, like Roy, forcing the other party to swear an oath of allegiance to the death.

The vanquished have no alternative but surrender and death.

"impossible."

However, when he mentioned this plan with the elf of the forest, the little guy shook his head: "Caesar, are you a believer in the Mother of Dragons? I've never heard you say her name."

"Tiamat?"

The appearance of the five-headed dragon queen engraved in the basic cognition immediately appeared in Caesar's mind, and then he shook his head: "No. Does it matter?"

"You shouldn't have called her by her real name, and of course it mattered."

Luna jumped up and down on his head: "Your previous contract came from the god of truth and contract, that is a true good god, even if you don't believe in him, you can use the god's Create a contract in name."

"But gods are not the tools of mortals. They are watching us in the kingdom of gods. Good gods will never allow despicable means to force others to make oaths."

Luna thought for a while, and then said: "Five-color dragons believe in evil gods, but even if you are a fanatic and a god-favored person of the mother of dragons, the Dragon Queen will not make so many coercive vows for you, otherwise she will The consequences of being attacked by other good gods will be very serious."

"No--"

The black dragon whispered dissatisfiedly, and the skin on the forehead was twisted into a ball: "Roy can do it, so why can't I do it?"

"What did Roy do?"

Seeing the expression on Black Dragon's face, the little guy felt curious. She was sent away by Caesar that day, and she knew nothing about what happened afterwards.

So Caesar recounted what happened at the beginning, emphasizing that the soldier captured by Gal was neither a knight nor a rank, but an ordinary soldier.

That means that Roy's entire army has signed the oath of allegiance until death.

"Are you sure?" The little guy frowned and asked repeatedly.

She shouldn't have doubted the black dragon. What Neil Caesar said was too unbelievable: "It shouldn't be, there are a thousand people, no god would be willing to help him form so many vows."

"A person favored by a powerful evil god? That's even more impossible. An evil god will never sell his own interests for the sake of believers."

"Could it be that I'm too ignorant?"

Luna shook her head and muttered: "Besides, isn't the punishment for violating the oath whipping the soul? How could it turn into pus and extract life? There is no such terrible precedent."

"Whether it is a good god or an evil god, I have never heard of doing this..."

After tangling for a long time, the Fairy of the Forest still failed to come to a result. He was confused by the black dragon and began to doubt his own cognition.
