Blue Dragon Emperor: Lord of Thunder

Chapter 201 Three Years of Long Sleep

Holding back his complaints, he respectfully sent off the contemporary god of death, Kelanvor, and Ron left the battlefield immediately after ordering the extermination of all the hill giants.

Kelenvor, the god of death, took action to heal Ron's loss of life and damage caused by Melkor, but he could do nothing to his subordinates who died at the hands of Melkor.

The souls of life that fell under Melkor's scythe had been stripped and devoured by Melkul, and Kelenvor, the god of death, could not bring their souls back.

This made Ron feel very bad.

There were thirteen five-color dragons, six cloud dragons, and two foreign dragons among the dragons who died in Melkor. The number of real dragons under Long En's staff was almost reduced by a quarter.

Nearly half of the wolf man corps and tauren corps, which fought the most bravely on the battlefield, were also killed or injured.

Such losses are not insignificant.

This was the worst blow Ron had suffered so far in establishing his territory, and the reason was only that he was slightly involved in the confrontation between the gods.

Whether it is Melkor who returned from the realm of the dead, Jergal, the Lord of the End of Everything who only appeared in projection from beginning to end, or the new death god Kelenvor, the power displayed made Ron feel his own strength. Weak.

He thought that after defeating the incarnation of the five-color dragon queen and seizing the dragon queen's divine fire, he was already invincible in the main material world, but the reality made Ron sober in an instant.

If the carrier of Tiamat's incarnation was not the same blue dragon as him, the abilities of many real dragons would not be effective; However, he was sent back to the main material world by the mysterious existence; if he hadn't "coincidentally" found a faith bomb specially designed to deal with the incarnation of gods in "Elemental Final Chapter", how could Ron win such a lucky victory?
Ron, who was flying in the strong wind, had a cold expression on his face. He let the biting air flow blow over his visor and scales, and flew towards the Dragon's Lair at the foot of the Storm Mountain Range.

Returning to the Dragon's Nest, Ron immediately summoned Earl Johnson, who had been promoted to the Minister of Finance of the Kingdom of Duolan.

Earl Johnson, who was in charge of a country's financial power, became more energetic, his silver curly hair was combed meticulously, and he saluted Ron respectfully.

"Your Majesty the King, what is your order for summoning me?"

Long En said: "Currently, how many gold coins can be used in the whole country without affecting the development of Hidun Province in Polun Province?"

Earl Johnson didn't know what Ron wanted to do. After thinking for a while, he replied: "According to the financial report of the Ministry of Finance for the first four quarters, as well as the estimation of the kingdom's five-year development plan and fiscal growth, the kingdom's current idle reserve cash flow is about Two thousand four hundred and seventy thousand gold coins."

Ron nodded. This number surprised him a little, but it was within his expectation.

The profitability of each factory is too strong. The handicraft workshops in the surrounding countries have almost been completely destroyed by the former Blackstone City Lord Hall Factory and the current Duolan Kingdom National Factory, and they can only be forced to accept the commercial colonization of the Duolan Kingdom.

The countries that have become the dumping grounds of the Duolan Kingdom are powerless to resist Duolan's industrialized manufacturing offensive, and they dare not and are unwilling to start a war with the Duolan Kingdom.

The rights and interests of the nobles have not been damaged by the dumping of goods from the Duolan Kingdom. On the contrary, the nobles can speed up the annexation of land and grow a large number of raw material crops needed by Duolan to earn wealth. Gentlemen don't care.

To a certain extent, this also contributed to the plan of the drow elves to disrupt the human kingdoms.

Originally, the goods of the Duolan Kingdom were cheap and high-quality, and they were very popular among the common people of all countries. However, after the nobles thought it was profitable to intervene in it, the situation deteriorated rapidly.

The caravans going to the Kingdom of Duolan will be heavily taxed by the nobles, while the merchants can only count the cost on the common people and spread the tax among the goods.

At the beginning, even with taxes added, Duolan’s products were still high-quality and cheap goods, but the greed of the nobles was not inferior to that of the giant dragons. They collected more and more taxes, and became more unscrupulous after the handicraftsmen in the country went bankrupt. .

As a result, only Duolan's products are left on the market, and ordinary people can only buy them no matter how expensive they are.

The civilians who were exploited to the point of being unable to survive quickly turned into refugees or serfs who farmed for the nobles. The relationship between the civilians and the nobles was like a keg of explosives waiting to be detonated. It only needed a little spark, and these kegs of explosives would explode.

And the plan of the drow is this Mars.

The chaos of various internal affairs made life more difficult for civilians who became serfs and refugees, and eventually formed a huge wave of refugees, making the political environment of various countries even worse.

But even so, the nobles of all countries did not forget to continue to impose heavy taxes, trying to squeeze out the last bit of property of all civilians.

Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for the Duolan Kingdom not to make money.

Long said to Earl Johnson: "60.00% of the cash flow is used to build the Kingdom Treasury and the Kingdom Bank. I will have someone hand over the follow-up plan to you. You only need to execute it. The other 40.00% is used to send money to other countries. Nobles can buy gemstones with a price premium of less than [-]%, and they can give priority to buying from the dragon family, they should be very happy."

Earl Johnson frowned. The concept of the kingdom treasury and the bank had been mentioned by Ron to Floris, who was still serving as the consul, a long time ago. He was not surprised by Ron's decision to set up a bank, but Ron decided to use He was slightly disappointed by the purchase of a large number of gemstones by the kingdom's treasury.

Is a dragon still a dragon, or can't resist the thirst for gems?
Earl Johnson wanted to persuade him, but he felt that Ron did not seem to be such a greedy dragon who was greedy for enjoyment. Ron has always shown the posture of a wise king, and he does not seem to let desire overcome reason. .

Johnson bowed and saluted: "As you wish, your will will be done."

After waving Earl Johnson to leave, Ron summoned Blue Ear, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Blue Ears, who now manages all the kobold clans, has found a survival form suitable for kobolds under Ron's suggestion.

Blue Ears formed a kingdom engineering company with the involvement of kingdom assets, and cooperated closely with the administrative department to undertake a large number of sewer construction projects in cities. That's enough to keep the blue ears busy.

Blue Ear, who hadn't been summoned by Ron for a long time, was so excited that he knelt on the ground and saluted Ron tearfully, kissing Ron's shadow cast by the firelight in the cave.

"Great Lord of Storms, Great Lord of Dragons, Your Majesty the Great King, your humble servant is always waiting for your orders."

Ron flicked his tail and said to Blue Ears, "Except for the construction project that the Kobold clan is cooperating with the kingdom's administrative department, how many other clan members can participate in the construction?"

Blue Ear's head was stuck to the ground: "Great master, every member of the kobolds is honored to serve you."

Ron frowned slightly: "I want an exact number."

Blue Ear hurriedly replied: "Sixty-five thousand three hundred, great master."

Ron nodded: "I will give you a task to dig a passage through the Storm Mountain Range and connect the east and west sides of the Storm Mountain Range."

Blue Ear's eyes widened in shock, the passage through the Storm Mountain Range?It can't believe its ears.

The width of the Storm Mountain Range, known as the Ridge of Ionia, is as long as the distance from the westernmost to the easternmost edge of the former Polun Principality. What a huge project it would be to dig a passage through the Storm Mountain Range!

But since it is a task entrusted to them by the great master, the kobold clan must try its best to complete it!
"Obey! Great master! Even if the kobold clan sheds the last drop of blood, it will definitely fulfill your order!"

Ron shook his head seeing Blue Ear's generous attitude towards death: "The time for this task is not tight, and there is no need to waste the lives of members of the kobold clan for it. You have plenty of time, ten years, twenty years, or even For 20 years, there is no problem."

Hearing that the kobold clan didn't have to die like slave miners, Blue Ears was moved to the ground: "Your kindness shines like a diamond."

Ron waved the tip of his tail: "Go ahead and contact the Ministry of Engineering and Construction. The cost incurred by the kobold clan's excavation of the passage in the Storm Mountain Range will be borne by Kingdom One, and the salary of the kobold workers is one-third of the average standard of Black Rock City." Four releases, just say what I mean."

Blue Ears bowed devoutly to Ron and exited the Dragon's Nest respectfully.

A few days later, Long received ambassadors from various countries in the administrative building of Black Rock City.

The coalition forces of various countries suffered heavy losses in the battle with the hill giants, but the heavy losses of the Duolan Kingdom are obvious to all.

After the war, there were about [-] giant dragon corpses transported away (Yunlong and Yanglong were also counted among them), and the Duolan First and Third Legions, who fought head-on, had nearly one-third of their casualties. .

Killing the most mountain giants, coupled with powerful new weapons, and killing the strongest mountain giant alone and the summoned god-like existence (Mirkor), the record of the Duolan Kingdom is also extremely dazzling.

The power shown by the Duolan Kingdom in this war convinced all the human allied countries, and they sent envoys to send congratulatory gifts to the Duolan Kingdom to build a good relationship by celebrating the establishment of the Duolan Kingdom.

Even the human nations that were not invited by Long to join the alliance to join the war reacted quickly after hearing the news, showing goodwill to this powerful country that could be predicted to be strong for at least hundreds of years.

After the envoys from most countries arrived, Long En immediately summoned all the national envoys to propose international friendly exchanges and trade. Immediately, half of the envoys signed on behalf of the Grand Duke or King on Long En's proposal, and the other half But after getting in touch with the country, they also joined this loose alliance one after another.

Countries have reached more than a dozen agreements on non-aggression of territorial sovereignty, mutual non-interference in internal affairs, friendly exchanges and trade, and common development, and formally confirmed the establishment of the Sixteen-National Alliance in Central Oonia. Shake it.

By the way, Long En reached a gem purchase trade with various countries, and with the gems bought at a premium from real dragons, Long En's dragon nest is being filled with gems that are constantly being shipped.

After another period of time, all affairs and personnel appointments in the territory were properly arranged, the management of the Storm Clan was handed over to the Council of Elders, and the inspection and maintenance of the giant sentry tower was confirmed. The cooperation of the Black Gold Kingdom was established, and Long En was finally completely freed from the heavy territorial affairs.

"Leah, I entrust the kingdom to you."

Ron leaned his neck against Curelia's side face, gently rubbing against the silver dragon's smooth and shiny silver scales.

Curelia nodded seriously: "I will take care of your kingdom, you can go at ease."

Ron was sweating wildly, he was just going to sleep for a while, it sounded like he was going to die.

After saying goodbye to Curelia, Vidirpan, Lisapana, Fluris, Ronasa, Ren and other friends or subordinates, Ron returned to the empty nest stuffed with gems alone.

After spending more than a month, Ron finally exchanged 40.00% of the kingdom's cash flow for gems or more precious magic crystals, but these things were priceless, and Ron didn't get much.

In order to stack these gems and magic crystals, the gold coins and other sundries in Ron's lair were cleaned up and expanded again.

Ron stepped into the gem hill formed by the accumulation of various gems, sank down and buried himself in the gems.

A gust of wind blew by, and the ever-burning candles in the dragon's nest were gradually extinguished, and the dragon's nest fell into deep darkness, only the light released by the magic crystal and the delicate gemstones illuminated by the light shone like stars in the darkness.

The dull and long dragon's breath sounded slowly, and the elemental energy contained in the gems and magic crystals slowly melted into Ron's body with the breath...

Time passed, the sun and the moon rotated.

As Ron fell asleep, the energy dissipated in the dragon's nest gradually attracted the surrounding elements to gather, forming a huge elemental energy enrichment field, and the huge elemental energy was attracted from all directions.

After obtaining Curelia's permission, real dragons gathered around Ron's lair and fell asleep with Ron.

Just staying on the outskirts of the gathered elemental energy field brought all the true dragons and other family members a lot of benefits. Ron, who was in the center of the elemental energy field, didn't know what it was like.

Forming an alliance with the surrounding neighboring countries, the Duolan Kingdom completely calmed down in an instant, and began to fully develop the territory and start trade cooperation with the allies.

The allies around Duolan also took advantage of the external stability gained from the alliance to quickly clear up the internal strife in their own countries. Under the leadership of the Duoran Kingdom, they happily let go of their prejudices and began to trade and communicate with each other, ushering in a golden period of development.

Outside of the Kingdom of Duolan and the Alliance of Sixteen Nations in Central Oonia, the human nations are still suffering from wars and various disasters, and the chaos has never left.

It was under such circumstances that Ron fell asleep for one year, two years, three years... ten years... 20 years...

The fast-growing Duolan Kingdom is changing with each passing day, and the short-lived race has ushered in two new rounds of life.

His Majesty the King of the kingdom has even become a symbol in the hearts of the new generation of short-lived citizens. Only the introductions in ideological and political textbooks, the emblems on the flying flags, and the sculptures on the central squares of major cities still declare this kingdom sovereignty.

Time never stops for anyone, 30 years in a flash.
