The fishman Duke Babakar, who attacked him, said, "You... Don't blame me. Who caused you to be so seriously injured? I am very covetous of the legacy of a seventeenth-level necromancer."

Babakar, who had both arms completely missing, walked up to Em with an innocent look on his face, then suddenly stepped on his head and exploded it. Countless blood energies erupted, and his head was destroyed into nothingness. Babakar then muttered, "The soul should be broken now. I heard that it is difficult for necromancers to die."

Only flesh-and-blood life can have a concrete and substantial soul when it reaches legend. Before that, the soul is not only fragile, but also intangible. The existence of the soul can only be observed using very special methods.

Babakar had no way of observing the soul, so he could only fill his big feet with blood and trample it to death roughly.

"Even if the soul is not broken, it should have entered the River Styx." Babakar secretly thought. After entering the River Styx, one will no longer be oneself after reincarnation.

The River Styx is an invisible river of souls that runs through countless material planes. After the death of all life on the material plane in the star multiverse, their souls and soul fragments will be actively attracted by the River Styx, and finally fall into it. The souls are then reincarnated or reorganized into new lives inside the material plane of the Gods' heavens.

After Babakar collected Em's inheritance, he leisurely chased in the direction where Cross had escaped.

After a while, he said, "He ran away and abandoned his subordinates. What a coward." Babakar said regretfully.

Then he turned around and left, heading back to Lucerne Castle.

At this time, Master Darkman was still being besieged by two master-level fish-men. After seeing Babakar come back with two broken arms, a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.

"Where's Marshal Cross?"

"You mean that coward? He ran away." Babakar said with a strange smile.

"Impossible!" Darkman said angrily. But before he could finish his words, a glimmer of light appeared in front of him, and the person disappeared. He had teleported away.

The two opponents who had been fighting fiercely with Darkman, Kuka and Frieda, were slightly stunned. "What's the situation?"

"Cunning old bones." Babakar frowned slightly. He had been planning to sneak attack and kill Darkman while he was in shock, but he didn't expect him to run away so decisively.

Mages are a really tough group to deal with.

As long as they cannot be killed instantly, the more powerful the spellcaster, the faster and more ways they can escape.

Whether or not you can beat him is one thing, but you can definitely count on them running away. This is the characteristic of almost all Mages.

"Forget it, forget about those two cowards. Try to capture the remaining humans here alive. They will be of great use." Babakar told Kuka and Frieda, then his figure flashed and disappeared.

He was eager to check the legacy of the Necromancer Murloc Em to see if he could find out how to make the Flesh Soul Orb and advance to Legend.

Although it was just a suspicion, it had not been confirmed yet.

After Babakar left, without the support of Marshal Cross and Archmage Darkman, the remaining hundreds of thousands of human troops were quickly defeated by the wanton attacks of the two master-level fishmen.

Kill to kill, capture to capture.

In this battle of Lucerne, the kingdom was defeated and suffered extremely heavy losses.

The sahuagin clan was victorious.

After the fall of Lucerne Castle, in order to resist the threat of sahuagin and centaurs, the territorial defense line of the Albit Kingdom continued to shrink. At the same time, civilians in the southern part of the kingdom began to flock to the north to flee.

During this process, it is roughly estimated that at least three million civilians and slaves died or disappeared.

The population of the kingdom dropped by nearly one-tenth, and the territory of the kingdom dropped by one-third. The nobles in the north, who were originally loyal to the royal family, also began to gather together to join the Kingdom of Nax, the neighboring country of the Albit Kingdom.

Nobles who did not take refuge would be slaughtered by wandering thieves or monster clans. The Kingdom of Nax would then show mercy and send troops to wipe out the thieves and monster clans, saving the civilians and slaves under the rule of these nobles and taking over the territory.

---

This is undoubtedly a catastrophic collapse for the entire Albit Kingdom.

But in the Kingdom of Albit, Bradley VII, Ivan, who has the title of Iron-Blooded New King, smiled at this.

"The sahuagin really exceeded my expectations. They are so powerful, and even centaurs can suddenly emerge. But this is even better. I would rather say it's great, and I don't need to add fuel to the fire, hahaha."

Ivan chuckled.

It seems that they don't care at all about the loss of one-third of the country, the existence of the northern border in name only, and the loss of millions of lives.

In fact, he really didn't care.

Why?

Because the above losses had little to do with the royal family.

Whether it was the fall of the southern part of the kingdom, the heavy casualties of the territory and its people, or the loss in name only due to the collective defection of the nobles in the northern part of the kingdom, the real loss was only the loss of the nobles of the kingdom themselves, who were half as much as the royal family. Money relationship? Does he have anything to do with Ivan?

Well, it actually has something to do with it. The reduction of the kingdom's overall power has also made the current royal family more attractive and pushed it onto a higher and more dangerous wave.

But this is what Ivan wants, and this is the danger he must bear.

A group of aristocrats who have completely rotted away and do not listen to propaganda are like cancerous tumors. Although removal will cause pain and weakness for a long time, if the cancerous tumors are not removed, they will only continue to suck the nutrients of the 'body'. They will grow bigger and bigger until the 'body' can no longer bear the growing tumors, and finally dies suddenly.

Ivan, who ascended the throne as the seventh king, deeply understood this truth.

Rather than being lost in decay, it is better to cut off the flesh and bones and rebuild a new kingdom.

Even if the strength of this new kingdom is far less than before.

"But no matter how good the plan is, it can't compare to the strength you have." Ivan's deep blue pupils flashed with firm belief.

Vaguely, a terrifying energy flashed past him.

"Legend is really a huge threshold, and it stuck for me for ten years." Ivan said to himself.

The Kingdom of Albit and even other forces only have the impression of Bradley VII 'Ivan' as a warrior who has just entered the master level, but they don't know that Ivan had reached the peak of level 19 ten years ago, standing at the pinnacle of legend.

He has been patient. The best plan is for him to break through the legend and then use his absolute strength to reverse the situation of the decaying kingdom.

However, Ivan still underestimated the threshold of legend. Even a genius like him has been stuck for ten years and has been unable to make any progress, and until now he has never been able to understand the true meaning of legend.

"Leon." Ivan suddenly said.

"Your Majesty." A black shadow emerged from the air and knelt down in front of Ivan.

"Take this list and kill everyone on it."

Ivan threw out a small notebook and ordered.

"As ordered." The kneeling shadow took the small book and then disappeared into the air.

Looking at the empty study room, Ivan said to himself, "It's time to close up."

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, five years had passed.

In the dark forest, a dragon nest.

The bottoms of the two adjacent thousand-foot peaks had been dug out, and together with the peaks, they had become part of the expansion of Monster City.

In the market under the mountain peak, monsters from all clans and humans are in harmony.

Polish weapons store.

"Six thousand two hundred gold coins, this is the highest price."

The grey-haired jackal, who was nearly three meters tall and dressed in a loose military uniform, frowned and said.

Opposite it, a two-meter-five-tall blond human man shook his head and refused, "Six thousand five hundred gold coins, this is also my lowest price. If you don't accept it, you don't have to buy it."

"This is too expensive." The grey-furred jackal frowned. From a human perspective, its expression looked extremely ferocious, as if it was about to commit murder at any moment.

But the blond man opposite him looked indifferent and instead rolled his eyes at the jackal.

"This full-moon scimitar is made of meteorite, and it also has sharpening, hardening, and septic enchantments. This top-notch weapon only sells for 6,500 gold coins, which is already a good deal."

The Jackal gritted his teeth and finally took out a few money bags from the space bag, counted six hundred and fifty coins shining with purple and gold luster, and threw them to the other party.

A purple gold coin is a precious metal product refined from gold coins, with a value ratio of 1:10.

However, in the city of monsters, ordinary monsters and humans cannot use purple gold coins at all, and only the strong will use them.

"Happy transaction, Mr. Green," the blond boss said with a smile.

"Poland, your smile is so bright, it makes me feel like I'm at a loss," the jackal complained.

The blond man chuckled, his expression changed quickly, and he looked at the jet-black meteorite scimitar held tightly in the Jackal's hand with a look full of reluctance.

"Oh, my baby, it took more than thirty days and nights of sweat and hard work to..."

"Poland, please shut up. Not only do you make me feel like I'm losing money on my purchase, but I'm also starting to dislike this weapon. Okay, I have to go back quickly and become proficient in using this weapon. I have a lot of work to do after that," Gnoll Green interrupted the blond man's disgusting performance and waved his hand to leave.

"Are you planning to go to Laputa Lake again this time?" the blond boss shouted from behind.

Jackal Green replied without looking back, "Yes, this time I will take my adventure group to Lake Laputa to hunt those river monsters. The most profitable place recently is there."

"Safe travels."

The sound faded away.

Walking on the broad street, a monster recognized Green and looked at him in awe.

"That is the recently famous leader of the Blood Claw Adventure Group. I heard he is a powerful high-level warg knight."

"No wonder, you see his body is so strong and tall."

"Brother, let me ask, is the Blood Claw Adventure Group still accepting people? It's been difficult to make money recently, and the mortgage loan pressure is particularly high."

"I don't know if the Blood Claw Adventure Group will accept people, but if you want to make money, Lake Laputa on the other side of the wasteland has been very lively recently. A large number of sahuagin, river monsters, and sea beasts are there."

"Is it safe to go there? I'm worried about the opportunity to make money."

"Thanks, man."

The sounds behind him gradually faded away, and new sounds appeared around him.

Jackal Green was also sighing in his heart as he walked on the wide Blackstone Street.

Five years ago, Monster City had just been established. Except for the central area, which was a little busy, other areas were like a dead city.

However, what about today?

The number of residents in Monster City exceeds 100,000!

The population of the villages and towns surrounding Monster City has more than one million residents if all statistics are taken.

Goblins, Kobolds, Gnolls, Forest Trolls, Swamp Trolls, Earth Trolls, Beast People, Bugbears, Goatmen, Tengu, Harpies, Troglodytes, Aegeans, Humans, Barbarians... etc.

In five years, Dragon City promulgated the policy of procreating more children and attracted a large number of clans who came to seek refuge, causing the population to increase six or seven times from 200,000 to more than one million today.

Of course, with the population expanding like this, previous strategies will naturally change. The first dragon lair, as long as it is willing to fight and capable, can more or less obtain the blood of the Dragon King and become a dragon descendant.

But in the past five years, this strategy has changed. Because the population is too large, it is impossible to take care of everyone, and even if everyone can be transformed into dragon descendants, there is not enough food to supply such a terrifying number of Overeat stomachs.

Therefore, Dragon Nest began to elite-ize dragon descendants and sell dragon blood.

Dragonborn elites refer to the talented warriors of all races who are absorbed by Castle Black. They are given more or less dragon blood, transforming their bloodlines and becoming dragonborn dependents.

The sale of dragon blood gives those monsters and humans who do not want to be restrained and like to roam freely in the outside world a more powerful opportunity. As long as they pay enough wealth, and sign a contract stating that they will come to aid the dragon king in case of an emergency, they can have it. But they have to drink it there, then they are free; they can get dragon blood. Dragon Nest is very relaxed in this regard.

As a result, the Dragon Nest forces began to expand rapidly. Today, the dark forests, wastelands, Albit Kingdom, Knuckles Kingdom, Orc Kingdom, and other smaller forces covering an area of more than 10 million square kilometers are basically located in the southern part of the continent. There are more or less traces of members of the Dragon Nest force.

In particular, the Dark, Schillminster Forests, and the Wasteland are full of traces of members of the Dragon Nest force.

There was definitely resistance during this period.

After all, power expansion is essentially encroaching on the interests and territories of other forces.

But so far, all resistance, overt or covert, has been shattered by Dragon Nest.

Among them, the strongest resistance came from the local monsters in the dark forest.

Because Dragon Nest hunted too many monsters and expanded too fast, the members of the Dragon Nest force invaded the territory of some powerful monsters, making these monsters unbearable and finally deciding to join forces to eliminate the source. ——They came to the dragon's lair.

Led by the king of the western part of the dark forest, a powerful Cyclops with a height of twelve meters, several top monsters, as well as thousands of summoned monsters, rushed into the dragon's nest territory.

However, this massive war ended soon after it started.

The Cyclops was bitten off by the rock dragon Puck, who rushed out of the ground, and a small half of its body was finally captured by Dragon Nest.

Among the remaining top monsters that followed the Cyclops, a one-horned python recovered from its injuries and was killed by the master-level Jackal leader, Brain.

A top-level hawk monster was severely injured by the joint efforts of Bray the griffon and Bertha the crane (the name the crane gave herself), who also broke through and became a top-level creature. In the end, he was captured alive, like the Cyclops.

There was also a clever top-level ape monster who saw the bad opportunity and ran away.

Without the top monsters to block the pressure in front, the remaining monster army was completely one-sided when facing the elite warriors of Dragon Nest. In the end, they either escaped or became food.

It was this battle that established Dragon Nest's dominance in the Dark Forest, and it also won the titles given by the outside world – [Black Nest], [Black Wing Nest] [The Black Wave of Doom].

After this battle, coupled with the activities of a large number of adventure groups composed of monsters and humans in the outside world, the Black Wing Lair gradually gained a certain reputation in the southern part of the continent. Even among the strong and top kingdoms and players, we are now fully aware of its existence on other continents.

In the nearby area, the forces with a little knowledge basically know that there is a powerful black dragon called the Black Dragon King in the dark forest, and he has established a kingdom of monsters who also had connections with the Kingdom of Dal, Black Queen City, Sieglinde City, the now-gone Voltan City, and some other.

As for more detailed information, most of the forces do not know it and are too lazy to understand it. It has nothing to do with you, it doesn't threaten you, and you won't put much thought into it. As there are already too many threats to deal with, they don't want to feel overwhelmed.
