Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

The video in Chapter 54 has ended; the overall situation is settled.
The simulation videos are still ongoing, but the nature of the problem has been largely determined.

Of the hour and a half video, the three main non-fast-forwarded segments accounted for one hour and twenty-five minutes.

The next five minutes consisted of fast-forwarded scene transitions, showing the Rock Steel Dragon bringing all the magical beasts tamed by the One-Horned Demon Bear under its command.

Finally, the scene freezes high in the sky, with the giant rock-steel dragon overlooking the desolate forest.

Just like a monarch looking down upon the empire he has conquered.

Beneath the forest, countless magical beasts howled at the monarch high above, responding enthusiastically.

Finally, the entire video flashed by like a fast-forward, moving rapidly from east to west and showing over 30,000 non-ranked magical beasts and over 200 ranked magical beasts roaring to the sky.

At the same time, the game screen also displays a map of the territory under your rule.

The map resembles a long, narrow, irregular rectangle, with a total area exceeding 130,000 square kilometers.

Seeing this, Lin Ke's heart was completely at ease.

"In just four hundred days, more than 30,000 non-ranked magical beasts? And more than two hundred ranked magical beasts?"

"This has far exceeded my expectations! The business has expanded quite a bit!"

"But isn't this exactly what I wanted?"

Lin Ke was naturally in a very good mood at this moment.

After all, based on much of what he knew in the game world.

A beast tide of this scale should be enough to catch the western border of the Silver Lion Duchy off guard.

The humans of the Western Frontier, without organizing tens of thousands of elite soldiers to resist, would absolutely have no way to control the situation.

Even lower-level troops are needed to reach the next level, and at least several dozen mid-level troops are required.

Because they were no longer facing a beast tide from an ordinary mid-level magical beast organization with low intelligence.

Instead, it was the player 'Lord of the Dragons', Lin Ke.

Therefore, if Lin Ke were to organize the monster tide himself, he would definitely not scatter his troops indiscriminately like he had done in the past.

Furthermore, he also meticulously coordinates aerial units, ground units, and even underground and underwater units in coordinated combat.

If he could subdue a dozen or so more mid-level magical beasts, Lin Ke might even have the power to shake the entire Silver Lion Duchy!

After all, the number of strong individuals within a principality is limited.

Like the Silver Lion Duchy, there are only about sixty mid-level beings on the surface, while there is only one high-level being, Duke Old Lion.

The mid-level and high-level powerhouses within the duchy are undoubtedly strong, but ultimately, the stronger they are, the more energy they consume.

If you expend a lot of energy, it will take more time to recover through meditation.

Moreover, it's important to understand that the total magical energy in a region is limited. If too much is consumed, the magical energy within an environment can never be restored in a short period of time.

Therefore, in large-scale battles, the most intense situation is that no one can get any magic replenishment.

Or rather, replenishment will be very, very slow.

Therefore, in this situation, the battlefield becomes a contest of resources and attrition.

On the Auckland continent, the strategic resource is naturally the Magic Crystal.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Linko really has the strength to challenge a duchy in a short period of time.

After all, Warcraft's weaknesses are also very obvious.

That means their intelligence is low, and morale is difficult to maintain. If strong humans were to carry out decapitation strikes, the situation would be very dangerous. Furthermore, the human side has many targeted magical artifacts, alchemy techniques, and formations.

Therefore, unless things reach their worst point, Lin Ke will definitely remain dormant and quietly grow stronger.

After all, one must be strong to succeed, and Lin Ke's current strength is still relatively low.

Moreover, if a beast tide were to destroy a principality, it's hard to say what radical actions the human nations might take.

Therefore, Lin Ke's current idea is actually very simple: to possess the power to protect the entire swamp territory.

After all, its core gameplay revolves around family development, rather than lone wolf gameplay or Warcraft lord gameplay.

Once the York family, the swamp clan, is destroyed, Linko has no idea what kind of situation he will face then.

The worst-case scenario, of course, is losing the game!

Therefore, Lin Ke is naturally very satisfied with having the current level of self-defense capabilities.

So, in this very comfortable moment, he casually opened the comment section below the video.

Going to haul away pigs in the middle of the night: "Damn it, is this really the giant lizard guy I've been following and knowing? He was just a giant lizard before, how did he suddenly turn into a dragon? And the Lord of Demon Dragons at that? This is worse than killing me! I haven't even received my second round of closed beta test qualifications yet, how come you're so strong, bro?"

Spicy or not: "Without further ado, after watching this video, I roughly understand that this Dragon player has truly struck gold."

"Family-based gameplay, or rather, faction-based gameplay, is relatively rare in the game, and this player has stumbled upon a treasure, which naturally refers to the knight York."

"Not to mention the advantages of being born into nobility, his mind has become increasingly sharp with his wife's help. That's what makes him so precious."

"Just like this crisis, if York had allowed the dragon to kill everyone in the Duke's mansion in the forest when he contacted it, the consequences would have been dire. However, anyone with a brain knows that such a thing is not to be done, so it's alright."

"In my opinion, Yorke's smartest trait is that he's becoming increasingly adept at assessing situations!"

"While promoting the players' 'god' faith, they're also cultivating elite knights and assassins, and secretly accumulating wealth. With the players' current army of monsters under their protection and with their support, they'll definitely gain momentum very quickly!"

"I'll bet you that in the next day or two, York will definitely reach Tier 3, and he will have more than dozens of Tier 3 knights under his command."

The non-hysterical specialist: "The person upstairs is talking complete nonsense. I watched the entire Lizard Bro video; he was just incredibly lucky! The gameplay, playing as Warcraft, Knight York—anyone but an idiot would have blown away with that kind of start, okay?! I'll just say one thing: lucky people deserve to die!!!"

"You people never get to the point. I've been watching Giant Lizard Bro's videos, okay?"

"Shouldn't you be wondering why he was already at Tier 4 right from the start, and even became a demonic dragon?"

"So, I've discovered a secret: war!!! Only through war can you get better rewards for each simulation day!!! Of course, the prerequisite is that you can survive!"

"So here's my advice to all you guys still playing games: get moving! If you don't stir things up and give it your all, you'll get crushed by the giant lizard, oh, I mean, the giant dragon!"

He's over 30 and has never been to a bar: "Come on, are you trying to cause trouble? There are so few players these days, they're from all over the country. How could Brother Dragon possibly crush them all!"

"Still causing trouble? Do you even want your game qualification?! You really love watching the drama unfold. Anyone with a modicum of sense knows that at this stage, it's better to play it safe, even if it means slower progress in strength, than to lose your game qualification."

"Besides, that's just how things are for Brother Dragon. It's not like he chose to fight or even take such radical approaches. It's all due to the circumstances. If you don't go against the tide, you'll only face a major defeat. So, I advise everyone who's still playing the game to play it safe. At least play it safe until the second round of qualification is issued. You can't waste such a significant life opportunity because of a moment of impulsiveness! That's all I have to say."

"."

The discussion in the comments section was heated, with some being objective, others expressing jealousy and envy, and still others simply enjoying the drama.

But there's no doubt that there are quite a few smart people among them.

I know that Linko's ability to reach Tier 4 is due to the rewards from the Warcraft War, but what good is knowing that? After all, Linko's geographical location and gameplay have already determined everything, something that almost no player can replicate.

So after browsing the video comments section, Lin Ke went to the player forum.

After all, Lin Ke was now very interested in knowing what the attitudes of the Countermeasures Bureau and the forum players were.
