then.
Arden tried to train a king of white pigeons from this group of white pigeons that would completely obey him.
It then controls this group of naval pigeons that can play a huge role at the critical moment.
Two days later.
When dozens of shark-shaped dragon beasts playing in the sea drove away the magical beasts in the ocean, a large number of warships landed in the port with a collective strong and domineering attitude.
In the eyes of many monsters, a rare "performance" appeared.
Above the azure sky, large numbers of white pigeons in groups were flying in a streamlined manner in an extremely standardized formation, led by a gigantic mutant dragon-shaped white pigeon that was over 1 meter long.
"Everyone aboard."
Now his body is over 2 meters tall, completely different from the frail body he had more than a decade ago. The dog-headed man Lime, who has completely transformed into a muscular monster wearing silver-scale armor, gave the order.
In the entire Silver Dragon's Lair, eliminate the lowest-ranking slaves or prisoners who are unwilling to surrender.
Ordinary third-class clans are on the periphery and can only obtain the most basic resources. They also have to work in exchange for food and fruits, and can only barely survive. If they have made great contributions, they may be promoted from third class to second class by Yaden.
It can be said that they are not much better than slaves. Basically, they are outside the normal people of the Silver Dragon's Lair and are in the stage of being "observed".
Only the second-class races above this could possibly live within the range of Arden's influence. Some of their children could become dragons at birth, or even captive creatures.
Then there is the first-class race, who are treated better and live closer to the center, and above this is the elite race, which is Arden's diehard fans.
The powerful races above this represent a certain ethnic group whose members are in the middle level of the entire Silver Dragon's Nest when they are born, or even in the upper level.
For example, flying dragon.
The Gnoll tribe to which Gnoll Lime belongs can only be considered second-class.
But he managed to reach the class of elders through his own efforts.
It can be said that among the upper class of the Silver Dragon’s Nest built by Arden, there are elders who were originally born into the lowest race.
In terms of privileges alone, among the six classes of elders, elites, first, second, third, and slaves, it is better than ordinary flying dragons.
Now this reborn kobold is not only ambitious and loyal to Arden, but also believes that he will be invincible under the leadership of their king.
He also obtained a top-level magical equipment, the Thunder Axe, bestowed by Arden.
In gratitude, Lime had already vowed to charge for a higher position for the Kobolds in the Silver Dragon's Lair.
There is a second goal.
That is to swear to death and give everything for the king who changed his life.
-------------------------------------
In the chaotic void, a seemingly unstable energy light blocked the violent storm and chaotic magic in the void.
In the strong distortion of space, Fister, who came here, was shrouded in a shadow. An invisible dark magic from an unknown land enveloped him, as if a devil's claws stretched out from his shadow.
In this darkness, even if he stood there, he looked like a shadow and it was impossible to see the specific situation.
Fister said nothing, and once again looked around the huge, dilapidated, shadow-covered palace with great excitement and humility. Then he moved in a certain direction without saying a word.
"Welcome, the 284th Shadow Meeting is being convened again."
In this dilapidated but still glorious palace, like the palace of an ancient god, there are exquisite reliefs and a huge history in the center of the palace.
A completely symmetrical and exquisite, but not at all sacred. Instead, it is mysterious, with a table and 13 chairs reflecting the starry sky.
A twisted shadow is already waiting here.
Like him, there were several figures coming from all directions who were completely in the shadows.
Pfister is one of them.
I saw these eight different shadows sitting very skillfully in their respective positions.
And the twisted shadow that had been waiting in the center finally sat on the main seat.
Compared to the other shadows, he sat not on a chair, but on a throne.
“Glory to the invisible Lord.”
Before the meeting began, the nine different shadows all agreed to make a very special gesture on their chests, pointed their fingers at their brows, and humbly praised.
Men on the left, women on the right.
There were several different shadows, except the one sitting on the main seat, five of the remaining eight sat on the chairs on the right.
The other three, including Fister, sat on the chairs on the left.
The shadows that enveloped them were distorted, making it impossible for any creature to see their faces clearly, but they could clearly see what kind of clothes they were wearing and what style they were wearing. They could also roughly discern their expressions, except for the completely identical, shapeless and thoughtless faces, everything else could be distinguished.
"Then let's start the meeting now."
"Number One, I remember you said you needed help before."
The shadow sitting in the main seat seems to be between three-dimensional space and two-dimensional space. A shadow in the gap looks particularly distorted and awkward, as if it is not a person.
But the moment he sat in the main seat, a large number of shadows surrounded him, and the entire palace seemed to be breathing and trembling under his control.
"Yes, I recently found a relic on the continent of Ethelmond. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be a lot of good things in it."
"The only problem is that it's in the middle of several countries, and I'm not the only team excavating the ruins, so I need help to ensure that I have no problems exploring the ruins."
"Well, besides, if I'm not mistaken, the Heart of Shadow that the Overlord needs should be inside these ruins. I've already found some traces outside."
This obviously very tall woman spoke from under the shadows.
She took out a small test tube emitting a light gray aura from under her large, obvious magician's robe.
"Well, since it is the trace of the Heart of Shadow, then of course I have to go and see it myself. No. 8, aren't you free recently? It's a good opportunity to go and help her."
Shadow, who was sitting in the main seat, immediately became serious when he heard the name Shadow Heart and said.
Even other people had the same reaction.
The nine people sitting here, including Fester, are from all over the world. They have different identities, ages, and even their fates are different. There is no possibility of any intersection at all.
But they are still gathered here now, just because of this special palace.
They came here by chance and were called together to hold this shadow meeting by a man who called himself the messenger of the Lord of Shadows.
Maybe there were many people and many strong people before, but they all disappeared afterwards.
The convener of the parliament and also the speaker, all members present speculated that he might not be human and might not be from the Mordor plane.
But none of them expressed their guesses.
After they joined the council and received help from the palace and the messenger, they all changed their beliefs.
They chose to believe in this god who called himself the Great Invisible Lord, the Lord of Shadows.
The messengers had no reservations about them.
Even if we say that we give them help directly, it is so that they can help the "Lord of Shadows" at some point in the future.
It is essentially a relationship between exploitation and mutual exploitation.
The eight members present were selected by the Speaker from all over the world during this period.
They may not all be powerful, but they are all at the node that the world or the Lord of Shadows wants, and can help the Shadow Conference and the Speaker to bring about the changes they want.
As one issue after another came to an end,
"Number Five, how is your plan to control the entire Fran Kingdom going?"
Sitting in the main seat, the messenger with divine power as powerful as hell took the initiative to ask.
"Speaker, I need support now. Only the king of the Kingdom of France is qualified to open the treasury, and that thing is still in the treasury. Since the death of the previous king, only the newly crowned king who has obtained the recognition of all legendary wizards can obtain the key to enter there."
Fister's whole body was shocked. In this parliament, he represented number 5.
He originally wanted to seek help, so when it was his turn to speak, he immediately spoke.
As a wandering wizard, he was already a member of the Shadow Council before coming to the Kingdom of Fran.
In fact, he was able to break through to the legendary level by wandering step by step. What supported him was not the talent and luck that others said.
He does have some powerful support behind him.
"That thing cannot be lost. In this case, No. 4 will go with you."
There was silence for a moment, and then the Speaker, shrouded in shadow, uttered a voice that went straight into their souls, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
The man sitting on Fister's left, who was also shrouded in shadow, laughed softly.
"it is good."
-------------------------------------
"boom."
The violent magic crystal artillery, under the command of the wizard, has many monsters filling the dense gaps and holes on it with a large number of energy crystal cores.
A fireball emitting an extremely terrifying aura flew out of the barrel.
It was easy to smash a big hole in the castle, which was not that solid to begin with!
"Surrender, we surrender!"
Soon, facing such an attack, the nobles who owned this castle immediately chose to give up.
"Enter!"
Lime looked at this scene and just said this lightly.
A corps of about 2000 people organized by the Colts entered the castle gate in an orderly manner.
Three days had now passed as Arden waited for the legion to arrive.
The number of professionals under Arden's command has reached an extremely terrifying number.
A normal kingdom has a population of at least tens of millions.
The number of professionals is at most around 100 million.
Arden now ruled over three islands.
Under his policy of encouraging childbirth alone, the total number of monsters has exceeded 80 due to their terrifying and amazing reproductive power.
Because they are born with stronger physiques than humans, the occupational information passed down by the entire tribe and ethnic group can almost be said to cover all of them, except for the old and the young, if there are sufficient food and resources.
Almost all adult monsters are professionals.
Most of them are low-level, which is also a huge number. Arden now has more than 50 professionals, which is equivalent to the entire kingdom.
Monsters still have an absolute advantage in the entire Silver Dragon's Lair faction, and nearly half of the top professionals come from them.
A kingdom that is much stronger than a normal kingdom, such as the three coastal kingdoms. A kingdom of this level can generally mobilize so many professionals only when it encounters a major crisis or is about to be destroyed.
Arden is still staying in the town of White Dove, arranging three different leaders to follow him and be responsible for commanding an army of 10 monsters.
The three elders who followed him, the Centaur King Sagut, the Gnoll Rem, and the Venomous Spider Queen Bestis each led an army of 3.
They swept in three directions: north, south and east.
It can be said that he is invincible and unstoppable.
It was only two days since we set out.
The Kingdom of France covers an area of more than one million square kilometers, and nearly 3% of its territory has been completely occupied by the monsters from the Silver Dragon's Lair.
Now the news that Arden's army has arrived in the entire western part of the Kingdom of France has begun to spread in many western provinces.
Previously, when the dog-headed man Lime faced the ignorant humans, and even some nobles who wanted to fight against them and launch a counterattack, he had to kill or defeat them one by one.
But now, after the news spread, Lime attacked three noble territories in succession, and almost all of them did not resist, or after learning that Arden did not massacre the ordinary people under his rule, these monsters, although extremely ferocious, obviously kept the rules and surrendered directly.
There were simply not many nobles willing to resist.
Although this is the era of humans, and humans are proud of the crude monsters.
Except for a very small number of humans who are brave enough to not believe in monsters, or who have long seen through the nature of monsters, they will kill themselves for the sake of charity.
Faced with the threat of death, humans still succumbed.
After all, the gap between the enemy and them was too big. Of course, many people chose to escape.
After losing their noble honor, the nobles who had fled to different areas were killed according to the noble laws.
There are only two professional-level legions stationed in the western region of the entire Fran Kingdom.
Now he is still under the joint control of seven or eight of the most powerful nobles in the western region. They are under tight control and have never left the camp.
This is especially true after learning about the monster invasion.
Among the seven or eight nobles, except for two nobles who were willing to send troops because of their bloodiness and military achievements and had bad tempers, the other few nobles were calm and still refused to give in.
In their opinion, even if they sent out these two legions, what would happen? Now they could still protect the western region with the fortress. At least they could radiate most of the human camps and ensure that the monsters would not invade deeper beyond them for strategic reasons.
Only in this way can we keep the West.
If you take the initiative to go out for a fight in the wild, you will definitely die.
With problems in the command of the upper echelons, the fragmented western region naturally collapsed.
