Reborn As A Evil Dragon

There are also more than fifty monster towns with a population of more than 5,000.

In addition, to the east, at the entrance to the Dark Forest, a second Monster City was built with the concerted efforts of a large number of monsters.

Of course, compared with the monster city in Black Wing Lair, it is one or two levels behind in terms of scale, quality, and population.

But as time goes by, this monster city will definitely develop and become prosperous.

"Sir, the development information for the past month has been compiled." The dragon-born human came to Skye with a book and handed it to him.

Skye took it and opened it.

The spell text appeared, quickly instilling the knowledge from the book into Skye's mind.

A few years ago, the Black Dragon Lord spent two-thirds of the wealth accumulated over more than ten years to purchase hundreds of spell scrolls. Although these spells were not high in tier, they laid a solid foundation for the dragon warlocks of Black Wing Lair.

As time went by, these accumulations turned into a foundation. Now, the low-level Dragon Vein Warlocks in Black Wing Lair are no longer lacking in means. At the same time, there is also a small group of intermediate Dragon Vein Warlocks, which has greatly accelerated the development of the entire Dark Forest, with Black Wing Lair as the center of the kingdom-building plan.

The power of magic is great.

All weeds, trees, thorns, and bushes that should be removed are removed, and all that should be moved away is moved. At the same time, roads extending in all directions in the Dark Forest are established so that monster villages can quickly support and exchange supplies. The gathering of monster villages into monster towns allows most monsters to move from the villages to the monster city smoothly.

If you want to get rich, first build roads. This would not be a problem in this world.

When transportation becomes more efficient and the risk of going out becomes extremely low, transactions and commerce will develop naturally without any special promotion.

Because all intelligent creatures want to live a better life. At the same time, as long as they are intelligent creatures, it is their instinctive pursuit to obtain more wealth, status, and power.

"The total population of monsters in the Dark Forest is about 8.65 million, of which about 8 million are ordinary low-order monsters that have not obtained the bloodline of the Void, mainly goblins and kobolds, as well as bugbears, troglodytes, jackals, and lizardman. Humans are supplementary.

There are approximately 620,000 monsters with Void bloodline, of which more than 500,000 are second or even third-generation successors of the Void bloodline. The first generation of Void bloodline monster warriors is about 100,000."

Seeing this, Skye fell into deep thought.

The so-called generation of Void Bloodline Monster Warriors refers to monsters that receive dragon blood from their master or are contaminated by their master's breath, producing dragon veins. The potential of these monsters is considered to be the most talented group, except for the core monsters who have signed a sworn contract.

The second, third, even fourth and fifth generations of Void Bloodline heirs are actually the children and descendants of the first generation of monsters.

Through bloodline reproduction, these descendants also gain the power of dragon veins. However, because bloodline reproduction is generally debilitating, most of the descendants of Void Monsters have very thin dragon veins, and their growth potential is quite limited. It is difficult for even intermediate monsters to grow and become strong.

However, there are also a very small number of monsters with mutated bloodlines. They not only inherit the power of the dragon veins from their elders but even mutate, developing some special abilities.

Extremely fast reactions, agility, great strength, excellent mental power, solid scales, iron bones, stronger vitality, etc.

The Black Wing Lair specially recruits and trains these talented monster offspring to become Black Wing Warriors.

The Black Wing Warriors who have been trained have at least intermediate strength, and they are generally among the stronger ones at the intermediate level. There are also many with high-order strength among them.

After all, the high-order threshold is not difficult to reach. It is far less challenging than breaking through to the master order and legend. With a massive base of more than 100,000 intermediate monsters, dozens or even hundreds of high-order monsters are born every year.

"This is last month's data. This month's population data will definitely be higher," Skye thought with a headache.

If the monsters being born were not all ordinary low-order monsters with small appetites, they would still be able to chew turf and eat leaves when hungry. After all, they were monsters, and their digestion and adaptability were far superior to those of humans.

Otherwise, if these eight to nine million monsters were all Void Monsters, the Dark Forest would be destroyed in a few days.

Currently, more than 15,000 monster villages and towns have cultivated a large amount of high-yielding food. Whether it tastes good or not is unimportant. The Black Wing Lair only pursues yield and nutrition.

The same applies to animal husbandry, which prioritizes producing more meat and faster growth.

However, even with a large amount of food and flesh produced by ordinary monsters supplying the elite warriors of Black Wing Lair, Skye has been under increasing pressure recently.

Because there are more than 300 super big eaters in Castle Black!

The Void Dragons' appetites far exceed those of the Void Monster Warriors, and their massive dragon bodies require immense sustenance.

Consuming ten times or even dozens of times the usual amount of food is normal, and for some powerful Void Dragons, even hundreds of times the standard food intake is not an exaggeration.

Over the past few years, it was manageable at first. After all, they had only just begun to obtain the Void Bloodline, and their appetites had not yet fully increased.

But now, the situation is different. Any giant dragon can destroy ten or even dozens of monster villages.

The Black Wing Lair has managed to persist for so long thanks to the increasing number of Dragon Vein Warlocks being born and their ability to cast Monster Summoning spells. These spells include low-order monster summoning techniques and intermediate monster summoning spells.

Monster Summoning: Consumes magic power to summon monsters from another plane to fight for you.

Although somewhat cruel and ruthless, most of the Dragon Vein Warlocks in Black Wing Lair have now mastered low-order Monster Summoning. They use this spell to summon a group of low-order monsters from other worlds every day, then slaughter them for their flesh, supporting the more than three hundred giant Void Dragons.

"We can't go on like this. If this continues, the Dragon Nest will be eaten into collapse by these giant dragons," Skye's eyes narrowed as he made a decision.

Report it!

There was no other choice. The dragon masters were highly concerned about such matters, and Skye didn't dare to act without the master's approval.

However, despite his concerns over the terrifying appetite of these giant dragons, Skye, as the general manager of the Dragon Nest, still greatly acknowledged the improvements in their strength.

Dragon Pond

"Now, in terms of food..."

Skye, who stood more than three meters tall, faced the majestic black dragon, lowering his head slightly as he reported the current predicament of the Black Wing Lair.

After a while, Skye concluded by saying,

"Master, the food sources of Black Wing Lair are now roughly divided into three parts. First, ordinary cultivated food. Second, breeding and animal husbandry. Third, low-to-medium-level creatures obtained from other worlds using Monster Summoning spells.

Among the three, the first two are large in quantity and mainly supply ordinary monsters and most dragon-born monsters. The third source is smaller in quantity compared to the first two but is of much higher quality. It primarily supplies the dragons of Castle Black, maids, guards, and the elite among dragon-born monsters.

Of course, aside from these three sources, there are additional ways to obtain food, such as river beasts and murloc corpses transported from the Laputa River and waters in the wasteland. Additionally, the free adventurers of Black Wing Lair also go out hunting on their own. If they have a surplus beyond self-sufficiency, they sell it to the Dragon Nest at a low price."

Black Wing Lair is now divided into core forces and peripheral forces.

The core forces include the Castle Black dragons, maids, guards, and the Black Wing Legion built around Skye and other core family members.

They are the representatives of Black Wing Lair's strength and power. Their overall number is not large, totaling only around 100,000.

These dependents are the most loyal supporters of Black Wing Lair and the Black Dragon Lord, and their food and rewards are provided by Black Wing Lair.

The peripheral forces of Black Nest are divided into two parts. One part consists of ordinary monsters scattered throughout the Dark Forest. They are weak and serve as cannon fodder or low-yield workers.

The other part consists of monsters who long for freedom, as well as those with talent but not enough to be included in the core of Black Wing Lair. These monsters have developed various unique professions.

For example, adventurer groups, hunting parties, tavern owners, material store merchants, custom street workers, and those who travel far to earn a living.

The monsters in the peripheral forces—including humans and dragon-born humans—are all self-sufficient, so Dragon Nest does not need to worry about them.

Of course, this is under normal circumstances. If there is ever a food crisis in the Dragon Lair, it would still require attention. Additionally, in times of war, an army of cannon fodder monsters must be summoned and provided for.

After Skye's detailed explanation, I had a general understanding of Dragon Nest's current predicament.

Skye also proposed a solution to the crisis.

"War—transfer the food crisis to the outside world. This way, we not only consume some monsters but also plunder food and wealth from external sources, achieving balance," Skye suggested.

In addition to this proposal, Skye had a second idea. After some thought, he said,

"Spells include plant ripening, plant mutation, rapid flesh and blood growth, higher tier spells of summoning, etc. Most of the Dragon Vein Warlocks in Dragon Nest today lack significant talent. Even after ten or twenty years of hard study, they would likely only reach the level of intermediate spellcasters.

The resources and time required to cultivate an intermediate Monster Warrior are much lower than those needed to train an intermediate spellcaster.

Subordinates believe that rather than forcing untalented Dragon Vein Warlocks to study combat spells, it would be better for them to abandon combat magic and devote themselves entirely to learning logistical and territorial development spells, creating a solid rear foundation for Dragon Nest.

Additionally, if war begins, our Dragon Nest should aim to capture the middle and low-level spellcasters of enemy forces. Those who agree to submit will serve Dragon Nest, while those who refuse will be enslaved and forced to contribute through labor and construction."

Skye had managed Dragon Lair for twenty years, growing it from a small tribe of dozens of kobolds to a kingdom of eight to nine million monsters. His experience remained unparalleled.

In fact, Skye has been experimenting with the second method among some Dragon Vein Warlocks over the years, and the results are obviously good.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to develop so quickly in just a few years. Although the monster is powerful and physically strong, the Dark Forest is so vast—how could it have been built so quickly in just a few years?

To achieve such high efficiency, the caster plays at least half the role! The caster is the 'infrastructure machine' of the world.

I agreed with Skye's proposal. I thought both methods were good.

"The reform of spellcasters in the second proposal is based on what you said, and you are fully responsible for it. As for the first proposal, a war," I thought briefly and analyzed.

"To the north of the Dark Forest are the allies of the forest elves. Further north are some other countries and human kingdoms, which have gradually reached the middle of the continent. Now, the forces in the middle of the continent are at war with the Crimson Nest. We, the Black Nest forces, need to stay away for the time being.

To the east of the Dark Forest is the sphere of influence of the Kingdom of Albit, the Centaurs, the Nest of Darkness, and the Sahuagin. It is like a big fight, and now the situation there has reached a strange balance, and it will not end well.

To the south of the Dark Forest is the Principality of Kass, Kingdom of Dal, as well as some wild mutant races and small and medium-sized free forces. Further south is the South Sea. The west of the Dark Forest is directly connected to the sea and also belongs to the scope of the South Sea."

After some analysis, the situation suddenly became clear.

And if I want to start a war, there are only two best breakthrough points!

The vast offshore waters of the South Sea are rich in biological, mineral, and other resources, as well as the small and medium-sized forces in the Principality of Kas and its surrounding areas.

I suddenly remembered the Void Sahuagin seeds I had sown in the offshore waters of the South Sea, west of the Dark Forest.

More than a year has passed, and I don't know what happened.

Thinking of this, I had a thought in my mind and followed the spiritual connection of the core contract to connect with one of the Sahuagin family members.

The sight comes and is shared.

What I saw was a dragon-born Sahuagin slaughtering ordinary Sahuagin.

Switching perspectives, I shared the vision of another Sahuagin family member eating.

In this way, I quickly switched between more than a dozen Sahuagin family members in a short period and gained a general understanding of their development.

Three of the sixteen 'seeds' sown died in more than a year, and the remaining thirteen have basically developed their own forces, some of which seem to be quite large.

The strength of the fish-man dependents is generally at a high order, and the strongest one has reached the fourteenth order.

I had some impressions of that fish-man because the Sahuagin was a high-order fish-man before signing the family contract. He was also the one with the strongest initial foundation among this batch of seeds and ruled tens of thousands of fish-men.

It is worth mentioning that the Sahuagin group that invaded the Albit Kingdom and the Sahuagin group to the west of the Dark Forest are not the same force.

The Sahuagin forces that invaded the kingdom were relatively unified, with a recognized leader—the Sahuagin Duke 'Babakar.'

To the west of the Dark Forest, the large and small Sahuagin tribes in the South Sea are loosely organized forces. Although there are large-scale murloc tribes ruled by the master-level murloc marquis, there is no such overwhelming strength as Babakar. There are strong fish-men there, so they have been in a state of plunder and development.

After some thinking, I made a decision.

"Let the Castle Black Dragon Clan help the group of fish-man relatives and unify the sea area west of the Dark Forest."

This can not only add some 'experience and experience' to the empty brains of the Void Dragon Beasts but also greatly relieve the food pressure of the Black Wing Lair and expand the scope and influence of the Black Wing Lair.

The food in the sea cannot be eaten up by more than three hundred undeveloped Void Dragon Beasts.

After all, it's not like there are more than 300 legendary Void Dragon Beasts. But they will at some day but for now I can be rest assured.

Skye was slightly stunned after hearing his master's decision and then realized that his master had also arranged a situation in advance in the sea area west of Black Wing Lair.

"As expected of the master." Skye nodded secretly.

Now, the food dilemma was solved directly.

And without the group of Void Dragon Beasts, the mid- to low-order monsters summoned by the dragon warlocks could also be supplied to more Black Wing warriors, making the Black Wing army more powerful.

In the huge dark square outside Castle Black.

Gold Dragons, Silver Dragons, Brass Dragons, Bronze Dragons, Copper Dragons, Red Dragons, Blue Dragons, Green Dragons, Black Dragons, and White Dragons. All Chromatic Dragons and Metallic Dragons could be seen here.

At this time, the news had been issued for Castle Black's Dragon Clan to go to the sea to participate in training.

In the dark square, all kinds of dragons were chatting lively.

"It's time to go out for a walk," A certain Silver Dragon muttered.

"The boring life is about to pass away, and next will be my journey to become the king!" A certain Red Dragon said arrogantly.

"Hey, you red scale, you're too arrogant. As a dragon, you need to be low-key and steady."

The Red Dragon, who was refuted as soon as he made his inflammatory remarks, turned his huge dragon head and cursed with some displeasure, "What is your identity? I am the second strongest in the advanced ranking competition, you..."

After Ignacio saw the face of the word-speaking dragon, he paused for a moment.

Golden Dragon Miligas looked at the latter calmly and said quietly,

"My status is also third place, but it's just a master-order qualifying event."
