Elven cultivators

The news of the deaths of the five governors swept across the entire Eldron Plains like a hurricane.

Those forces with close ties to Kreisor Dragon City were the first to receive the news.

They learned of this shocking news immediately through various clandestine channels.

At first, almost no one was willing to believe it.

The last time a governor died in battle on the Eldron Plains was thousands of years ago.

Back then, the dragons' rule over the plains was far from as stable as it is now, and rebellions broke out every now and then.

However, in the last two or three thousand years, as the dragons' rule has become more stable, there have been no more instances of governors dying in battle on the Eldron Plains.

Not to mention that all five consuls died at the same time.

How is that possible?

Those who first heard the news all scoffed at it, dismissing it as a rumor.

However, as more details came in from different channels, all doubts gradually dissipated.

Everyone quickly realized that this was actually true!

The details of the battle, in particular, were revealed by a certain faction, which caused a huge uproar.

Canglan fought three against one, killing three governors, including Wood, in a head-on battle. He then joined forces with the leader of the Eldron branch of the Meteor Dragon Society and another torchbearer to take down the other two governors.

This record is simply unbelievable!

Who is Wood?

The second-ranked of the twelve governors of Kreisor Dragon City, a veteran peak gold-level powerhouse, renowned throughout the Eldron Plains, and considered one of the top combat forces below the legendary rank.

But he died at the hands of Cang Lan, even when he was fighting alongside two other governors.

This is absolutely unbelievable!

Overnight, the name Canglan resounded throughout every corner of the Eldron Plains.

The name was being talked about everywhere – in taverns, markets, and adventurer camps.

"Single-handedly taking down three consuls—what kind of monster is this?"

"They say it's a joint effort with two other peak-level Gold Saints, but in my opinion, it's no different from Cang Lan handling it all by himself."

"Even Wood is no match for him. I'm afraid only Aurelion himself could possibly subdue him."

"Aurion? I doubt it. I doubt even Aurelion could kill three opponents of the same level at the same time, right?"

Similar discussions have been repeatedly staged throughout the plains.

Some were amazed, some were in awe, and some were skeptical, but regardless of their attitude, everyone had to admit one fact.

That is to say, Canglan's strength is indeed above most of the peak Gold level.

Some people have given Canglan the title of the number one person below the legendary level in the Eldorlon Plains, and this title has quickly gained the recognition of the vast majority of people.

With the Ember Dragon gone from Eldron Plains and yet to return, Azure has become the strongest being on the plains.

In contrast, Cresolon City was completely relegated to a supporting role in this affair.

His prestige, already damaged by his inability to contain the repeated attacks by the Meteor Dragon Society and Canglan, plummeted to rock bottom after this battle.

However, what truly shook the entire plain was yet to come.

The day after the Battle of Grayrock Pass, Kreisoron made a decision that surprised everyone.

It withdrew all its troops stationed outside the area, including those stationed at Bishui Port and the Longya defense line.

It's important to know that these two locations are where the largest number of troops are stationed in Krisoron City each year, so their importance is self-evident.

Giving up these two places is tantamount to cutting off one's own arms.

But Longcheng did exactly that.

The Dragonborn garrison in Azurewater Harbor was completely evacuated overnight, leaving behind empty barracks and a bewildered Azurewater Council.

The troops stationed at hundreds of military outposts along the Longya defense line were all withdrawn on the same day. Those outposts, which once struck fear into the hearts of smugglers and illegal immigrants, were now empty shells with no one on duty.

When the news spread, the entire plain was in an uproar.

But soon, many people understood the helplessness behind Longcheng's move.

If the governor is left to guard the area, the meteor dragons and the Azure Dragons will likely defeat them one by one.

Without the governor in charge, the troops stationed at Azurewater Harbor and Dragon Tooth Defense Line were simply unable to withstand the attacks of the Meteor Dragon Society.

Rather than letting those soldiers die in vain, it would be better to withdraw our forces back to Dragon City and concentrate our efforts on defending our base.

Although the losses were heavy, at least the bleeding will stop.

But as much as he understood, the collapse of Longcheng's prestige was irreversible.

For thousands of years, the city of Kreisor has suppressed the entire Eldron Plains with its absolute power, causing countless intelligent races to tremble in fear under the dragon's might.

Over the years, there have been attempts by various forces to resist, but they have all been swiftly and ruthlessly suppressed by the city of Kresol, and the latter's foundation has never been shaken.

This time, however, Kreisor Dragon City was forced to shrink its defenses and retreat into hiding by the Meteor Dragon Society—or, to put it more bluntly, by Cang Lan alone.

This is something that has never happened in thousands of years.

The majesty of the rule of Cresolon City collapsed at this moment.

The first to react were the vassal races that had been suppressed by Dragon City for many years.

In the past, they had to pay tribute to Dragon City with a large amount of rare resources every year.

Magical metals, rare ores, magical plants, magical beast pelts, various gems, and even young people from one's own tribe are used as slaves.

But now, Dragon City is holed up and unable to come out, barely able to take care of itself. Where would it find the strength to supervise the tribute from its vassal races?

As a result, in the days that followed, various forces began to reduce the tribute resources they offered, or to substitute inferior ones.

At first, the city of Cresol was furious and sent troops to deal with those forces that dared to outwardly comply but inwardly defy it.

However, the army was attacked and wiped out by the Meteor Dragon Society not long after leaving Dragon City.

After suffering several losses in a row, Cresolon City simply pretended to be dead and stopped sending troops out of the city.

This undoubtedly fueled the ambitions of other forces.

More and more forces are tampering with the tribute resources.

Several factions even refused to continue paying tribute to Krethor Dragon City.

If it weren't for the existence of the Dragon Court, it wouldn't just be a few forces that stopped paying tribute.

In an instant, the entire plain was in turmoil.

Silver Moon Forest, Treehouse Quiet Room

Anton, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

Looking inward at the five drops of dark, deep, and gloomy water in his chest, he nodded in satisfaction.

More than half a year has passed since the battle at Gray Rock Pass.

During this time, he did not slack off at all and condensed four more drops of dark, heavy water.

These black jade-like water droplets gave him a strong sense of security.

After finishing his practice, Anton stood up, walked to the window, and opened it.

The fresh air, carrying the sweet fragrance of honeysuckle, wafts over, refreshing and delightful.

In the distance, the faint sounds of metal clashing from the training ground mingled with the chirping of birds in the woods, creating a tranquil yet vibrant scene.

Although he was busy with his cultivation, Anton kept an eye on what was happening outside.

During this period, he also joined forces with the members of the Meteor Dragon Society to attack several armies of the Krethor Dragon City that were sent out to suppress vassal races.

Unfortunately, Longcheng learned his lesson and stopped sending governors to accompany the army, thus depriving him of the opportunity to continue improving the quality of the sword pellets.

Zieg also suggested attacking Dragon City directly, but Anton rejected the suggestion.

The reason he was able to kill five governors in the battle of Gray Rock Pass was largely because he had set up the Nine Heavens Thunder Suppressing Formation in advance at Gray Rock Pass.

The formation significantly weakened the governors' strength, depleting their magic and stamina, thus creating favorable conditions for the subsequent battle.

The attack on Dragon City is different.

Having been established for thousands of years, the city's defenses must be impregnable, and it may even be protected by magic arrays.

Attacking a city rashly without understanding the specific situation is too risky.

The Meteor Dragon Society was unwilling to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and was willing to take the risk; he had no intention of joking about his own life.

"Let's take it slow."

Andong looked toward the direction of the Thousand Rocks Hills

Just three months ago, the Frostweave Silver Mine, which had been mined for over fifty years, was declared closed. Elder Thorvin led most of the dwarves back to Grayrock Keep, leaving only a small number of people to assist the clan in continuing to mine other metal mines.

The abandoned Frostweave Silver Mine is now under the full control of the clan.

The elders dispatched a large contingent of forest guards to seal off the mining area, patrolling day and night to prevent creatures from the Underdark from invading the surface through the fissures.

It is worth mentioning that the Second Elder recently mastered the Wind Feather Shadow Technique and successfully advanced to the peak of the Gold Realm.

The Silvermoon Clan now has another top-tier fighter.

Although it hasn't been made public yet, this is undoubtedly something to be happy about.

The reason why the Second Elder was able to master the near-divine technique so quickly was twofold: firstly, the technique was indeed suitable for him, and secondly, it was the culmination of years of accumulated experience.

He had been stuck at the Gold rank for nearly two hundred years, accumulating enough magical power and having a foundation in understanding the power of laws; all he lacked was an opportunity.

And the Wind Feather Shadow was the opportunity.

Once you have a clear method for understanding the principles, breakthroughs will come naturally.

The Third Elder was also happy.

He has broken through to the Gold rank and is one step closer to awakening the power of the laws.

Given the Third Elder's talent, he should have broken through earlier than Cedric.

However, after Cedric switched to cultivating the Eight Desolations Suppressing Prison Scripture, his strength increased by leaps and bounds, and he took the lead.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the next golden age should emerge from among them.

As Anton was deep in thought, his divine sense suddenly detected a familiar aura rapidly approaching the treehouse. Turning his head, he saw Roman carrying a battle axe and rushing towards him.

She wore a close-fitting black hunting outfit, her long silver hair flying as she ran, her steps were agile and powerful, and her aura became increasingly solid.

It's clear that her mastery of the Eight Desolations Prison Suppression Scripture has become increasingly profound.

I estimate it won't be long before I break through to the second stage of the Power Realm.

"Anton".

From afar, Roman broke into a big smile and waved vigorously at him.

"The clan is holding a meeting, and the elder sent me to inform you to attend."

Anton raised an eyebrow.

The elders knew he was very busy and usually wouldn't bother him during meetings, but today was unusual, probably because the meeting was about something very important.

Considering the series of major events that have recently occurred, Anton had a vague idea in his mind.

As it happened, he also had something to say to the three elders.
