warm dragon.

Chapter 619: Frost Star and Moon
"I never thought that you and the Shadowflame Dragon would join forces to defeat even Frost." King Ares has returned to the Golden Palace.

Russell also teleported over and started chatting with King Ares.

"Thanks to Shadow Flame risking his life, I was able to decapitate Shuangda, but unfortunately Shuangda attached his head back and ran away."

"No matter what, your record is enough to shock the entire Longmian Continent."

"Your Majesty, how was your fight with Shuanghe?"

"Frost was just a feint to tie down Hongliu and me. We couldn't go to Shadowflame to support you, so we didn't fight to the death." King Ares said, "But I found that although Frost's body has not changed, its strength seems to be stronger than Shuangge."

"Stronger than Frost?"

"Well, in that case, we can't judge the strength of a frost troll based on its body height," Russell said.

"Indeed." King Ares said, "Frostda's choice to refine the snow giant out of necessity is probably not the mainstream training method of the frost trolls. Moreover, Frosthe has killed a dragon, and his strength should be far greater than Frostda, but he is only twenty meters tall."

Contrast with Frost Grid, Frost Da, and Frost Combine.

After the two discussed, they came up with a rough guess.

The evolution of the frost trolls, or the cultivation method of the natives of Frost Star, is very strange. From snow trolls to frost trolls, it would be a qualitative change; and from frost trolls to frost giants would be another qualitative change; but the sudden increase in Shuangda's body is only a quantitative change.

As for why there is no "quantitative change" in Frost, it may be that it has hidden this accumulation and will wait until the day of qualitative change before it breaks out again.

The more you hide, the stronger the explosion will be during the qualitative change, and the higher the probability of becoming a Frost Giant will be.

"Frostge died in your hands, Frostda was defeated by you many times, and Frosthe's Holy Artifact of Extreme Ice was also confiscated by you. Grand Duke Russell, you are truly the nemesis of the Frost Trolls." King Ares sighed when talking about the Holy Artifact of Extreme Ice.

Russell smiled slightly: "I don't know what this extremely icy holy weapon is used for."

"We don't know what use it has yet, but once the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact falls into our hands, it will be of the greatest use."

In the subsequent Thunder Conference, Russell released the details of this invasion for everyone's reference, and warned: "The frost trolls who master the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact have the power to break through the Grand Duchy. Everyone must pay attention."

There is nothing more he can do to help.

After returning to the Cigar Palace, Russell recuperated while accompanying Happy to wander around the cold springs in the Green City Garden. Occasionally, he would return to Qingqiu Province to visit this warm enclave opened up by the Harpy.

Then it’s time to wait, wait for Xiao Menglong’s volcano to erupt.

In the following days, bad news continued to come from the Leisheng Conference.

After Molten Fire, Ice Edge and Starlight Grand Duchy, the fourth and fifth Grand Duchy that was conquered by the Twin Snow Troll Legions were born almost at the same time. The dragon fell, the volcano was extinguished, and millions of people were about to lose their homes.

Even if neighboring countries are willing to accept refugees, migration on the snowfield is an extremely dangerous thing.

I don’t know how many people will be buried forever in the snow.

"How is our migration preparation going?" Russell convened the cabinet to inquire about the migration work of the Molten Duchy.

"Your Highness, the first batch of migrants have entered the trade route under the arrangement of Viscount Fred. They are all strong and healthy young people. While traveling, they are also building the Great Wall of Ice and Snow to facilitate the subsequent migration of the population."

Chief Consul Baron Gvedas reported: "The second batch of migrants will mainly be used to transport supplies. Last year, the agricultural harvest in the Molten Duchy was quite good. Now all the stored food has been used, which is enough to support the migration along the way."

After a pause, he said, "The subsequent food will need to be provided by our Grand Duchy."

"That's as it should be. Their elves and elf bugs have been sent to our Grand Duchy, so we have to provide them with food," Russell said solemnly. "Start a food rationing system across the country. Except for the necessary iced liquor, alcohol will be banned in the Grand Duchy within three years!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Remember, I'm talking about a total ban on alcohol. From today on, not a single drop of alcohol is allowed to be brewed, including in the Red Castle. No one, unless they are on the Snow Plains, is allowed to drink a single sip of alcohol. Once discovered, no matter who they are, they will be punished with the highest punishment!"

"Then, Your Highness, what about the enclave province?" Baron Gvedas asked with a hopeful mentality.

"Same here." Russell's eyes were stern. "I will issue a golden edict, and you will inform all the nobles of my attitude. In three to five years, after the food crisis is over, the food rationing system will naturally be relaxed. For the next three to five years, just bear with it!"

"Yes, Your Highness." Baron Gvedas looked miserable. Not being able to drink was like killing half of everyone's life.

Afterwards, Russell summoned all the cabinet ministers and questioned them one by one.

Understand the progress of various affairs in the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame.

Finally, he said to Industry Minister Roland: "Brother, you and father should take the lead and resolutely resist any banquets... Especially father, if you really want to drink, go to the snowfield to drink. There is no prohibition on the snowfield."

Roland smiled and said, "That's no problem for me, but I bet that many taverns will be built on the snowfield soon."

"If it's not too excessive, don't worry about it. If it's too excessive, my sword can kill frost trolls, so it can naturally kill greedy people." Russell said that as long as the food can keep up, he can turn a blind eye to going to the snowfield for a feast. But if the food is not enough and you dare to waste food to make wine and drink, don't blame him for being cruel.

At this time, the attendant came to report: "Your Highness, it is time for the Thunder Industry Conference. The kings and dukes of various countries are waiting for you."

"Okay, I understand." Russell nodded, then sent his elder brother Roland out and went to Thunder Station himself.

Five grand duchies were destroyed one after another, five giant dragons died, and humanity suffered heavy losses.

This is just the prelude to the coming of the Frost Star. There is still a huge crisis waiting behind, so humans must save themselves. As a tall man, Russell naturally cannot escape this responsibility and must do everything in his power to arm humans.

Industrialization is his current solution.

I just don't know if I can wait in time.

But no matter what, you have to do it first.

When they arrived at the Leisheng Station, in addition to Russell, there were several great scholars and polymaths who also stood up and saluted Russell.

"You're welcome, everyone. You are all people with great achievements in erudition, and you are also pioneers in promoting industrialization." Russell said with a smile. These polymaths and great polymaths are constantly striving for the industrialization of the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame.

It is because of this group of polymaths that we have roaring trains, speeding cars, and factories one after another.

And a variety of industrial products.

Thunder machine, astronomical telescope, magic tower, radio... fertilizer, matches, steel, spinning wheel, enamel, rubber...

There are many more industrial products under development and research.

"The next Leisheng Industrial Conference will be held for all countries that have joined the Leisheng Conference to publicize and guide these countries to carry out industrial development. The content of the conference will be sent to all countries simultaneously."

Russell cleared his throat: "So, everyone, follow me and speak freely, summarize the industrialization layout we have made, and look forward to the future industrialization blueprint!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" the scholars responded in unison.

One hour of summarizing the past, one hour of looking forward to the future, and the question-and-answer session was extended repeatedly. Facing the enthusiasm of various countries, this Leisheng Industrial Conference lasted until eight o'clock in the evening.

of course.

What really aroused the enthusiasm of kings and grand dukes of various countries was Russell's previous propaganda, saying that the reason why he was able to defeat Frostdar was because industrialization strengthened the power of the Shadowflame Dragon, which was able to protect the Shadowflame Duchy.

Therefore, the kings and dukes, especially those who did not ride dragons, were the most enthusiastic and wanted to invite Russell over to help them govern the country.

"Phew, I hope that this time the seeds of industrialization can sprout in all countries." Russell stretched his muscles.

At this time, another attendant came to announce, "Your Highness, Director Sullivan requests to see you."

"So late?" Russell was just about to go home for dinner. "Forget it, just ask him to come over."

A moment later, Sullivan, who had been promoted to the director of the National Observatory of the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame and a great scholar, entered the side hall under the guidance of his servants.

After the ceremony, he immediately reported: "Your Highness, according to our prediction, Frost Star has completed its berth in the solar system. Judging from its subsequent orbit, it will dock into the orbit of our Dragon Star and complete the merger."

"Merge?" Russell frowned.

"Yes, we have captured a trace of its trajectory. For three consecutive nights, the trajectory of Frost Star overlapped with the trajectory of the moon for a short period of time." Sullivan said, "Your Highness may wish to move to the observatory and observe the moon yourself."

Russell nodded: "Let's go to the observatory."

The National Astronomical Observatory is located in the small town of Beigongmen outside the Red Fort. A high tower was built here so that the starry sky can be observed directly from the top of the tower.

Taking the elevator directly to the top of the tower, Russell soon observed the phenomenon of frosty stars accompanying the moon through the astronomical telescope.

In fact, even with the naked eye, you can see a small bright dot on the edge of the moon.

"From Frost Star's transit to Frost Star's companionship with the Moon, Frost Star is getting closer to our Dragon Star step by step." Sullivan sighed, "However, the Frost Star captured by our high-powered astronomical telescope is always changing in brightness. It seems that Frost Star has not completely crossed the gate to the other world yet."

Scholars in the field of astronomy have reached a consensus that Frost Star is not a planet in the solar system, but an invasion from a gate to another world.

It’s just that the last step has not been completed yet, so Frost Star is currently in a superposition state of two star systems.

"What will be the final outcome of Frost Star and Moon?" Russell asked as he observed.

"The most likely scenario is that Dragon Star and Frost Star are close enough that the Frost Troll Army can fly directly across space, land on Dragon Star, and plunder everything on Dragon Star... Perhaps, after they have plundered all resources, Frost Star will cross the gate to the other world again and leave here." Sullivan smiled bitterly.
