Roland led his army to surround the tribe and calmly announced to them that they must either surrender or perish.

The men in the tribe were enraged, and they selected three of the strongest to accept Roland's challenge.

The three were quickly defeated by Roland.

Just when the tribe was angry and wanted to awaken the power of the abyss dragon, they were shocked to find that all the power was rushing towards Roland.

The power of the Abyss Dragon gathered around Roland. The clan leader and the priest recognized that the heart in Roland's body was the heart of the evil dragon (Abyss Dragon).

The patriarch and the priest were both stunned.

They originally thought that the ceremony to revive the Dragon's Heart had failed, but unexpectedly it succeeded?

Now that you have seen the dragon, why don’t you bow down to it?

The clan leader slid down on his knees in the most standard way to apologize to Roland, and hoped that Roland, who followed the will of the magic dragon, would not abandon them.

Roland had not expected the plot to develop in this way, so he went with the flow and accepted their loyalty.

Although dragon people are not stupid in intelligence, they are all stubborn.

He had fought Roland to the death before, and he wanted to tear Roland apart with his bare hands.

After learning that Roland had the heart of the dragon in his body, his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees.

Roland is no longer a damned human invader, but the heir of the great magic dragon, the son of the dragon!

Since the Son of Dragon was going to lead them, they would of course accept it with pleasure.

The Abyss Dragon Tribe was quite powerful, and Roland had a hard time dealing with them back then. They had obtained the highest level of imperial citizenship based on their abilities.

The addition of more than 30,000 dragon men gave Roland an elite force under his command.

In return, Roland gave them rich and fertile territories so that they could be self-sufficient.

Not only that, the descendants of the dragon people enjoy preferential policies in education, medical care and other resources for a period of one hundred years.

After that they have to fully integrate into the new human race.

The young people were very excited about this, and the entire ethnic group was proud to intermarry with humans.

Where there are fashionable young people, there are stubborn old people.

The older dragon people always feel that they are dragons, not humans, so they choose to stay in their hometown.

Roland respected their choice and sent people to build a road from the Abyss Dragon Camp to the Imperial Capital.

The road is not particularly smooth, but it can ensure that the old guys can enjoy the supplies from the imperial capital.

The outskirts of the Dragon Tribe have also become a tourist attraction, but there are not many tourists.

The carriage team heading to the tribe galloped along with a "da da da" sound. There were five trucks fully loaded with goods and ten soldiers escorting the supplies.

In addition, there was a horse-drawn carriage with a total of six passengers.

The six passengers included a young dragon man returning home, an official escorting supplies, personnel from the Inspection Office in charge of supervision, and a young human female tourist.

This female tourist has a pretty appearance, and would score around 70 out of 100.

But this kind of beauty is just ordinary in the Kingdom of Gracia where elves are everywhere.

She was quite talkative and had a great time chatting with the imperial officials and dragon youths along the way.

The female swordsman, who refused to reveal her name, obtained a lot of information from the dragon youth and imperial officials.

This person is Valenie.

He stayed in Gracia City for three days, digested the World Fruit, and avoided the limelight before pretending to be traveling to visit the Abyss Dragon Village.

There aren't many tourists like her, but there are some.

Although the accompanying officials were somewhat curious, they could not see anything wrong with her and did not pay any attention to it.

The carriage traveled for nearly a day and arrived at the dragon village in the evening.

The camp that once could accommodate 30,000 tribesmen now has less than 2,000 people and looks empty.

The guard at the door had his head hung, looking listless.

Based on the principle of dragons governing dragons, the dragon tribes are highly autonomous under the constraints of imperial laws, and of course they are responsible for their own security work.

This is His Majesty Roland's trust in them.

It is a security job after all, and it cannot be left to the elderly, women and children. These young people have to take turns guarding their hometown.

Their hometown lacks the prosperity of the city and has no extra subsidies. If it weren’t for the fact that the tribe is full of familiar elders and children, they wouldn’t be able to stay there for even a minute.

Although I am barely staying here now, my restless heart has already drifted far away.

As the sun set in the west, the two guards at the gate looked up to see if the convoy had arrived on time.

Every evening, convoys from the city brought various supplies to support the elderly in the tribe.

The young guard finally saw the convoy appearing on the horizon and waved happily.

His Majesty Roland is so kind to the old guys.

The elderly were not forced to move to the city, and were even provided with sufficient food and daily necessities.

Only a merciful lord like His Majesty Roland would take such good care of them.

Your Majesty is worthy of being the son of dragon, the one who inherited the bloodline of the abyss dragon.

Following the convoy were officials and staff from the Inspection Office.

The escorting officer took out the list of supplies and completed the handover with the remaining members of the tribe.

Five large trucks of supplies are delivered every day, including all kinds of daily necessities.

The escorting officials complained in their hearts that His Majesty was too merciful. These old stubborn people should be left to fend for themselves.

The staff of the Supervisory Office didn't say much. He knew very well that these policies were ostensibly for the old dragons, but in fact were meant to win over the young dragons.

They are extremely powerful, with their individual combat power being more than three times that of human warriors of the same level, and they are particularly good at fighting in wetlands.

The dragon tribe of 30,000 people selected a total of 2,500 warriors to join the army.

The most elite dragonmen were formed as the backbone, and together with some lizardmen, a swamp combat special brigade was formed, and other dragonmen were incorporated into the general army.

Roland is very optimistic about the growth potential of the dragon people, so he offers so many preferential policies.

It’s a pity that their fertility is average, and Roland’s hundred-year development plan for them is growth.

Build territory, develop economy, and increase population.

Even if they join the army, their use must be controlled to avoid heavy casualties.

These policies made the Abyss Dragon People feel touched but also a little regretful.

Not being able to participate in the war means no military merit.

They are more eager to defend their honor with blood than to fight for welfare with women's wombs.

However, since it is the order of the Son of Dragon, they will of course carry it out without reservation.

There were very few passengers this time, only one person to be exact.

Although there was only one person, the dragons still received him warmly.

Valenie was placed in the best room in the hotel, and her food and lodging were of the highest standard. Although the quality was high, the charges were reasonable.

The dragons were very welcoming to Valenie.

After all, she was a member of His Majesty Roland's clan, so the dragons were very friendly to her. If she were a lesser race like a dwarf or a midget (from the dragon's perspective), their attitude would be much colder.

In the eyes of the dragon people, the first-class citizens in your Majesty's kingdom are the elves, the humans who joined earlier, and the dragon people; the second-class citizens are the gnomes, dwarves, and the humans who joined later; and the third-class citizens are other sub-human groups.

Although they are arrogant, they will not act overbearingly in front of elves and humans.

Valenie looked around curiously, feeling the uniqueness of this group of dragon people.

Other dragon-people groups are more like dragons in human form, while this group of dragon-people is very much like humans with some dragon blood.

We have gone astray, my people.

Valenie felt silently regretful in her heart.

The human race’s lifestyle is indeed very good, but after all, they are human beings, not dragons.

The dragon race should run and fly freely in the mountains, forests, plains and under the sky.

Valenie waited silently until midnight, when she left the hotel alone and walked towards the residence of the remaining elders.

There was a gentle knock on the door.

The low voice of the remaining elder came from inside.

"If there's nothing urgent, come and trouble my old bones tomorrow morning."

"A guest from Antarctica, requesting to see you."

silence.

Antarctica represents the last refuge and base for the dragon clan.

It is also the most desired home for the dragons stranded on the mainland.

If there were visitors from Antarctica before the Abyss Dragon Clan defected to Roland, the elders who stayed behind would surely be so excited that they would burst into tears and wail bitterly.

In other words, if he had not joined Roland, it would have been the clan leader who would have greeted the guests instead of him, the remaining elder.

After a moment of silence, the remaining elder slowly said, "It's too late. Let's talk about it tomorrow. I will ask officials from the Supervisory Office to attend."

"Elder Jamo, I have the Dragon King's order here."

There was another moment of silence.

Rejecting the Dragon Emperor's order is equivalent to rejecting the tribe's call, and the consequences would be too serious.

Just as Valenie was waiting confidently for the door to open, the old voice of the remaining elder came from inside the door.

"I told you, it's too late."

"If you had come a few years earlier, no matter how far Antarctic Dragon Island was, or how much the migration cost, we would have followed you without hesitation. But now we are citizens of the Gracia Empire."

"There is only one emperor of the Abyss Dragon People, and that is His Majesty Roland. If His Majesty abdicates, it will be his offspring."

Valenie, standing outside the door, was stunned.

She stood there in a daze, the slightly chilly spring breeze kept blowing over her body, the ends of her hair kept brushing against her cheeks, causing a tingling sensation that finally woke her up.

"Can I assume that you have betrayed the clan?"

After a moment's silence, the elder who stayed behind suddenly became excited in his originally old voice.

"It's not us who betrayed the tribe, it's the tribe that abandoned us!"

"Do you know how many years we have held on to this neglected swamp, how much we have suffered, and how many outstanding young people have sacrificed? You don't know!"

"You only know how to order us around with your oral instructions!"

"His Majesty Roland never does that. He respects us, gives us food, gives us new houses, gives our children the opportunity to receive an education, and provides the best medical care for the elderly."

"Not only that, he also gave us rich territories, hired human farmers to help us farm, and allowed us old stubborn people to continue to stay here. He never used a single word to ask us to go to a place tens of thousands of kilometers away."

"When we needed you the most, what did you do?"

After venting his almost hysterical outburst, the remaining elder finally calmed down a bit and said quietly:

"Guests from Antarctica, I will receive you with the highest etiquette, but you must be under the full supervision of officials from the Inspectorate. You are the most distinguished guest, but only a guest."

"The Abyss Dragon People have dignity. We will not betray our sacred monarch."

Valenie's face turned red due to the words of the elders who stayed behind. She stood there blankly, unable to say a word.

The elder who stayed behind was right, she had never thought about these things.

She always thought that all the tribesmen were eager to return, but she forgot that they would have other choices when they had no choice.

It is reasonable for her to respect the choice of the Abyss Dragon Man.

But she really didn't want to give up.

This is the last descendant of the dragon clan, and also the descendant of the very important super-level dragon, the Abyss Dragon.

The significance of bringing them back is not just an ordinary tribe, but an important sample for studying the reproduction of dragon people and the basis for restoring the bloodline of the abyss dragon.

Without the Abyss Dragon, the power of the dragon clan would be greatly affected.
