Abomination and the Legendary Dragon King

Chapter 310 Imperial Politics
In addition to the turbulent situation on the mainland, the news from the sea is also not optimistic.

The harassment of the coastal areas by those legendary big pirates is becoming more and more common, and some desperate guys have even tried to plunder the local area. The empire is fine, even if it is caught in a struggle for power, it is not for those young people who can mess around Yes, but those small countries or regions have been greatly damaged, especially the strait country near the sea, the Principality of Baihe.

This small principality, which relied on coastal trade and fishing to develop its economy, suffered heavy losses in this series of attacks, and the economy was hit hard. Many fishermen were killed by pirates, or they were taken as captives to extort ransom from the country.

It's not that the government has never launched an attack on the pirates, and even spent a lot of money to hire adventurers with sailing experience to help the Principality's army fight against the enemy, but they lost miserably.

In fact, let alone those small duchies, even Alex's country, the Red Dragon Empire, was troubled by those desperate pirates during this period of development.

Due to the special geographical location of the empire, some trade at sea is necessary to develop the economy, and the precious goods produced by the empire have been robbed time and time again by pirates during this period, so the Valkyrie had to Place a large part of the force at sea.

More importantly, although the orc infantry are very powerful on land, they can't display the combat effectiveness they should have at sea. Most of the orcs are not very good at water. If they are thrown into the sea, they will probably die. Many orcs were drowned alive.

In addition, the transport ships of the empire are still relatively backward. The pirate ships of some legendary pirates are far more advanced than the ships of the Red Dragon Empire. Since the empire has just been established, it has not yet developed in many places. Therefore, although Valkyrie spent a lot of time on sea transportation during this period, she has not achieved good results.

Up to now, with the efforts of the Valkyrie, the laws suitable for war have been formulated. First of all, the highest authority is the Red Dragon, and then the Valkyrie and the little saint Maisa who are equal to the Valkyrie Ya.

One of the two girls holds royal power and the other holds divine power. Although they are equal, it is clear that the domain and power under the jurisdiction of Bretogenia are much greater than that of Messiah. Everyone can see the contribution Bretogenia has made to the empire and the Red Dragon.

The second is the perfect military merit system and education system. Bretogenia encourages powerful races to intermarry between powerful races and encourages births, but the offspring will be sent to the empire's educational institutions for unified training, except in These offspring spend a short period of time with their parents in infancy, and spend their teenage years in school or in the military for a long time thereafter.

Secondly, the economy of the Red Dragon Empire has barely developed. The most important products are the ancient treasures excavated from the desert ruins, and the food grown by mushrooms, while the Red Dragon Empire actively trades with magic cities or The rich people in the Western Holy Alliance and some chambers of commerce in the Northern Principality occasionally went to the empire to buy some grain.

Mushroom people are very good farmers. After gaining the favor of the red dragon, they no longer fear the sun. In the eastern part of the empire, a large number of high-yielding crops (mainly rice) were planted on the land that was extremely fertile due to volcanic ash. The rice seeds found in Xanadu are extremely tenacious, not only high-yield, but also fast-growing, and can even be directly irrigated with slightly treated seawater.

Rice is very filling, and the rice stalks can also be fed to livestock after being lightly processed.

The beasts used by the empire as meat animals are mainly bison or raging pigs in the Underdark. Compared with the species on the ground, these beasts from the Underdark are extremely hardworking and have an unscientific digestive system. Even eating untreated rice stalks can grow very quickly.

Rice, a crop that tastes great and can fill the stomach, was quickly welcomed by the surrounding humans, and most races in the empire were also able to accept this kind of food.

And the rice produced from the north can not only fill the stomachs of the entire empire, but also leave a lot of reserves for wartime. Do some transactions to exchange for meat or building materials.

It is worth mentioning that the freight ships used by the Red Dragon Empire to trade with the Western Holy Alliance and Magic City are obtained by selling grain.

During the development of the empire, more and more intelligent creatures chose to believe in the Red Dragon, not only the citizens of the Red Dragon Empire, but even some humans became fanatical followers of Alex.

Some guys even formed a secret organization called the Red Dragon Club in human society, and their initiators were mainly those surviving adventures who had seen the strong figure and great power of the red dragon by chance By.

Some adventurers who are said to have seen the human form of the red dragon have brought a lot of interesting rumors to human society, and a large part of these rumors are peachy.

With the expansion of the Red Dragon Empire to the chaotic zone during this period and the war that broke out in the Felin Desert, this powerful alien empire finally began to be recognized by the creatures on the continent of Tyrael and embarked on this political struggle huge stage.

And Alex, known as the king of dragons and demon hunter, has also become the object of hatred, worship, fear, and curse of some people, but Alex doesn't care about these things at all.

Endless wars have brought huge wealth and a large number of slaves to the Red Dragon Empire. Since the war broke out in a chaotic zone, the races of these slaves are very complicated, and most of them are inherently bad.

The Valkyrie threw those who were deemed hopeless into the Underdark to mine, and those who thought they still had potential for development were assigned to various industries as slaves of the empire.

The first thing these slaves have to do is to cultivate their belief in the red dragon. Before they eat, they will have a special priest to lead them to pray together, and the quality and quantity of food are linked to the seriousness of prayer.

The most prayed-for small group received a morsel of fine meat, while the most inattentive slave not only lost a whole day's food, but had to do double the amount of work that day.
