This Giant Dragon is So Powerful!

Chapter 333 - 80: Bullying My Horse? (Part 2)

Two thousand or so might be close.

"The Barbarian Royal Court, huh?" Udi grinned.

If the Barbarians really came attacking, Udi would quite welcome it.

The main force in the sea expansion war comprised the Sha Hua Fish People and the Giant Dragon Legion. The Ghost Race Plane only dispatched several thousand elite Black-winged Warriors, so in reality, it’s been a long time since the Black Wing Nest army engaged in large-scale warfare, and many Black-winged Warriors have long been yearning for battle.

War and plunder remain one of the fastest growth paths.

"Moreover, after conquering the Ghost Race Plane and ruling over the Tal Plane, a massive number of basic followers will be needed. So it’s about time to find an opportunity for a minor expansion."

Occupying more territories, breeding more monsters, then selecting the ones with stronger talents to become bearers of the Void Power, creating an elite army.

This elite army doesn’t necessarily need to be used in conquest; for with Udi’s current management in the Abyss, he can have several demon subordinates swiftly assemble a middle-high level demon legion of thousands to tens of thousands. If it’s low-level cannon fodder demons, it’s even easier to gather hundreds of thousands, and compared to cultivating them himself, it’s much more time-efficient and effortless.

This isn’t exaggerated. The demon lord from Black Smoke City who invaded the Ghost Race Plane gathered demon numbers in the tens of millions, although most were low-level cannon fodder demons. It’s relatively rare to reach high-level or the Great Demon level.

However, while pulling together a demon legion from the Abyss is more time-efficient and effortless than cultivating personally, such hastily gathered demon legions are typically utilized merely as cannon fodder, elite cannon fodder, or high-class henchmen, since the nature of demons is almost irreversible — chaos, slaughter, brutality, greed, betrayal, disbelief... demons possess nearly all negative qualities.

A faction developed based on demons is bound to be disordered and corrupt, highlighted by Abyss Lords using demon armies to govern cities, yet are shunned by Star Realm races — a vivid example.

Such Abyss Lords maintain their rule solely through their formidable strength. Once they show vulnerability, traitors emerge in droves, and those first to take down the Abyss Lord are likely their own subordinates.

Even if their souls and lives are controlled by the Abyss Lord.

After all, demons unable to control their nature, sometimes in turmoil even turn against themselves — who cares if you control my life? Master? The master is the one to betray!

For the few demon strongmen now contracted and enslaved by Udi — Aoqi, Nurraf, Barrow... Udi never trusted them, always utilizing them as high-level henchmen and consumables, for instance, Aoqi the Legendary Six-armed Snake Demon served as prime bait to hunt Legendary Creatures. If it dies, then so be it.

Magic enslavement, merely shackled them with a collar out of fear of death, effective only if they fear dying. Should they suddenly lose their fear of death one day, the collar becomes ineffective for enslavement, merely turns into a high-efficiency killing method — betrayal detected, then through enslavement spells, their souls can be obliterated in a thought.

Therefore, to truly develop the Black Wing Nest, crafting a foundation firm as a mountain relies on frenzied followers capable of controlling their nature and possessing worship and faith in the Black Dragon Lord. Not just monster followers, but humans, dwarves, even elves are feasible.

....

Due to Morgan’s adept handling of the Barbarian legion’s tail, enough retreat time was secured, so only after all Gale Centaur Clan members had withdrawn did the Barbarian Royal Court belatedly detect something amiss.

After the Royal Court sent personnel to investigate thoroughly, the ruling class of the Barbarians turned ashen-faced.

Royal Court.

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

The loss of ten thousand middle-level Barbarian Berserkers was tolerable for the Barbarians, but the deaths of three Level 19 Peak Barbarian Generals truly undermined the Royal Court’s foundations.

For each Barbarian General holds a minor chance of breaking through to become Legendary.

"Morgan...." In Barbarian King Victor’s eyes shimmered a hint of cold light.

He didn’t expect this guy could conceal so well.

Had he known earlier of Morgan’s breakthrough to Legendary, he wouldn’t have hastily driven them away, at least giving the Centaur some face.

Legendary Second Tier and First Tier may differ significantly in strength, yet in speed, unless a flying creature or someone who comprehends Legendary Truth related to speed, the difference isn’t vast.

Moreover, Victor knows Morgan cultivates a Wind Attribute profession. Once Wind Attribute profession reaches Legendary breakthrough, the Legendary Truth they comprehend is usually linked to speed. Victor is confident enough to defeat or even kill him, but only if Morgan chooses to fight him.

If Morgan solely seeks to escape, Victor admits he can’t catch up.

"Now that the Centaur have leaned towards the Dark Forest, rumored to be ruled by the Black Dragon Lord of the Neutral Faction, what do we do now?" questioned a frowning Barbarian strongman.

Currently, on the continent, the Five-Colored Dragon has become a taboo.

Though the Neutral and Good Factions have formed the Pan-Continent Race Alliance to oppose the Crimson Nest, now it’s apparent to anyone that the Alliance Army is bound to be defeated in this momentum.
