Black Dragon Code

At the end of 1638, the third era of Elradia, passed in chaos.

A lot of big things happened this year, such as:

The aboleth controlled the kingdom of the deep sea and attacked the empire on which the sun never sets, and after more than ten days of fighting, they were immediately driven back to the bottom of the sea.

The leader of the free trade city-state, Tashanmu, spent a year preparing to build a new city, which has now been completed, and has been promoted from the nine free trade city-states to the top ten city-states.

In the Kingdom of Graycastle in the swamp, two legendary items were released among the Graycastle dwarves, attracting adventurers from all over the world to rush to grab them.

Today's most famous and powerful ancient red dragon—Queen Aksuye, was discovered by a team of legendary dragon hunters, hunted down and besieged, and finally died on an island volcano in the sea of ​​stars.

...

In the case of human beings in Elradia rising all the way and continuing to rise, in the remote and remote northern corner, the black dragon Caesar's capture of the Rhineland seems to be a trivial matter, which does not attract so much attention.

But for the local people of the northern countries, this is indeed an earth-shaking event, so much so that it has affected their own lives in all aspects.

First of all, the Rhine Country, as a pass fortress to the northern wilderness, is now completely impossible to go to. That place has been completely reduced to a rampant paradise for monsters. Adventurers can only give up going to the northern wilderness, turn south, or cross the sea from the west.

It is one of the pillar industries of the northern countries to take risks in the no-man's land in the north. Almost all travelers who arrive in the northern countries hope to go to the wider northern world to have a look. In this way, the northern countries Countries gradually began to lose a large number of floating population.

And many businessmen rely on these silly adventurers to make a living. The Blackwing Nest attacked the Rhine, which indirectly caused a sharp decline in the economies of the northern countries.

Fortunately,

In the country of Noren, which faces the Rhine at both poles, under the call of the ruler, some spellcasters have begun to use spells to open up and transform the steep cliffs on the border of Noren, trying to create a second Kaji Pass...

He turned his gaze back to Rhine.

At present, the Blackwing Lair has restored a certain order in the principality. Under the constraints of Caesar, the Blackwing clan tried their best to restrain their wildness, and did not show their teeth or attack those who obeyed. The gathering places were reorganized, and certain resources were given to help with post-war reconstruction.

Human beings still exist in the Principality of the Rhineland, and they have not been enslaved or abused - this is a rumor spread in the northern countries, but at present, this is only a unilateral statement from the Rhineland State, and has not been supported by any other countries Official confirmation, people don't believe it.

While people waited anxiously, the time came to the beginning of 1639 in the third era.

Thankfully, people have finally realized that Caesar, the Dragon King, does not seem to be keen on war. At the beginning of 1639, Blackwing Lair issued a statement to the northern kingdoms, saying:

If other countries in the Northern Alliance are willing to submit to the King of Dragons, allegiance to the black dragon Caesar Targaryen, and become vassal states of Blackwing Lair. The Blackwing Lair can save it from war, and guarantee that all classes of the subject country will be classified and the ruling status will remain unchanged without too much interference.

But there are two requirements.

One is that the northern kingdoms must completely obey the orders of the Dragon King.

The second is to pay taxes.

Pay tax is a saying from Black Wing's Nest. After studying the details, the Northlanders discovered that, in their words, pay tax actually means paying tribute.

This is not surprising, human beings have already had it. In the south, many small countries need to pay tribute to the empire on which the sun never sets for protection; but! According to the meaning of the Dragon King, after becoming a subordinate country of Black Wing Nest, every line, every industry, and even everyone must pay taxes to Black Wing Nest!

God knows how a black dragon figured out such a way, these five-color dragons who are greedy for money, this is simply a complete exploitation! oppression! enslavement!

Originally, if it was only a nominal vassal state of Black Wing Nest and the country could maintain its original state, the rulers thought about it and seemed to think it would not be so difficult to accept.

However, the subsequent tax payment terms and conditions have completely pricked their sensitive hearts. Although the tax collection ratio is only 1%, this is completely robbing them of their power in disguise.

During this period of time, it is not that the northern countries have not thought about counterattacking the Black Wing's Nest and regaining the lost land on the Rhine. What's more, they are thinking and calculating every moment, and at the same time asking for help from outside, hoping to defeat the hateful black dragon.

After all, it's not without its benefits.

The Grand Duke of Ryan is dead, and the entire territory of the Principality of Rhine no longer has its legal ruler. As long as the King of Dragons and Blackwing Lair are driven away, the kingdom they rule will be able to carve up that piece of land.

The Rhine Country, especially the Kaji Territory, is the gateway to the northern wilderness, and its strategic significance and economic value are self-evident and beyond doubt.

But after calm thinking, they found that they couldn't do it.

It's not that the current northern countries can't afford an army like the Rock Fortress. To be honest, they can even gather a larger coalition army as long as they grit their teeth and piece together things.

But it doesn't make sense.

Unless they have an army five or ten times that of the Black Wing Clan, at the development level of the northern countries, a small advantage in military strength is useless. During this period of several tentative multi-line attacks, people have seen the power of the leaders of the Black Wing clan, orcs, dragons, dog demons, gnolls...

The corpse dragon, the leader of the original undead army, may only be reduced to the same status as the leader of the Black Wing clan here, and even among them, it can only be ranked in the middle and lower ranks. It can't even beat Hogg, Erha and Nero .

That is to say, for the remaining five countries of the Alliance of Northern Kingdoms, the King of Dragons can overthrow them one by one as long as they send the leaders of the clans from Blackwing Nest to lead their clans.

The military strategists and commanders judged that the Black Wing Lair has the ability to fight on multiple fronts, and it can even fight on multiple fronts and launch attacks at the same time against the three neighboring duchies of Faye, Daros, and Lakron.

At the same time, the Black Wing Lair stationed on the Rhine began to use shapeshifters, corrupted adventurers, and merchants to publicize it. At the same time, the spread troop composed of Wyverns also cooperated to fly over the skies of various countries. , Throwing mass energy crystals in crowded places.

It records the living conditions of the people in the Rhineland today after being obedient and surrendered. Although surrounded by monsters, it is somewhat scary, but it seems that those people are doing well, and there are even scenes of clan monsters helping them.

The people gradually became noisy.

In the case of disparity in strength, an ordinary person with a normal mind would not hope for war. It will not benefit them. situation situation.

The lesson of the blood of Rock Fortress told them the end of resistance, and the voices of peace and surrender began to appear.

Of course, this is not without diametrically opposed arguments. Amidst the voices of obedience, a large number of people who advocate tenacious resistance and will die will come out, claiming to defend the glory of the Northlanders to the death, firmly express their position, and Severely reprimanded the lord descendant faction and demoted it to the nickname of Dragon Slave.

From an objective point of view, there is nothing wrong with the two views, but the polarized arguments are causing the internal conflicts in the northern countries to intensify, and people from the two factions have begun to attack each other.

However, the final decision-making power is still in the hands of the ruling class of each country.

It can be seen that they are still unwilling to give up, they do not want to give up their original position of powerful overlords, and turn to be under the dragon. At the same time, they dare not stand up directly and declare war with the Black Wing Nest grandiosely.

Therefore, the current northern countries are pursuing a cold attitude of indifference, pretending not to hear the demands and threats made by Blackwing Nest, neither opposing nor approving, and maintaining the previous state as if nothing else.

This situation continued until the Black Wing Lair released the second Mass Energy Crystal.
