Black Dragon Code

Aradia At the end of the Third Age in 1641, it passed in a turmoil.

Many major events occurred this year, such as:

The benthic magic fish controlled the deep sea kingdom and attacked the Bulo Empire. They fought ten or so days later and were immediately driven back. seabed.

The leader of Tashangmu of Free Trading City-States spent a year preparing to build a new city, which has now been completed and has been promoted from the nine free Trading City-States to Ten Great Cities.

Zedi's Greycastle Kingdom. Two Legendary items among the Greycastle dwarves have been released, attracting adventurers from all over the world to flock to them and scramble for it.

Nowadays, the most famous and powerful ancient red dragon-"Queen" Aksuye, was found by the Legendary Dragon Hunter team, crusade and besieged, and was eventually lost in the Star Sea. On an island volcano.

……

As the Aradia mankind continues to rise and rise all the way, in the remote and remote northern corners, Black Dragon Caesar’s capture of the Rhineland seems to be just a small matter, not so. Attracting attention.

But for the local people of Northern Kingdoms, this is indeed a major event of Heaven and Earth turning upside down, so that it has an impact on all aspects of their lives.

First of all, the Rhine State, as a pass fortress to the northern wilderness, is now completely inaccessible. The place is completely reduced to a monster's wild paradise. The adventurers can only give up going to the northern wilderness and turn south, or from the west Leaving across the sea.

Go to the northern no man’s land for adventure, but it is one of the pillar industries of Northern Kingdoms. Almost all travelers who arrive in Northern Kingdoms expect to go to the wider northern world to take a look. , Northern Kingdoms gradually began to lose a large number of floating population.

Many businessmen relied on these silly adventurers to eat. The Blackwing's Nest attacked the Rhine, which indirectly caused the Northern Kingdoms economy to plummet.

Fortunately, in the country of Noren, facing the Rhine poles, under the call of the ruler, some spellcasters have begun to use spell to open up and transform the steep cliffs on the border of Noren, trying to create a second Kaki Pass...

Turn back to the Rhine.

At present, the Blackwing Lair has restored a certain order in this duchy. Under the constraints of Caesar, the Blackwing clan tries to restrain their wildness, and does not grin and attack those who obey, Hogg It also re-planned the gathering place for the compliant, and gave certain resources to tilt to help post-war reconstruction.

"Rhine Duchy still has human existence, and has not been enslaved or abused"-this is a rumor spread in the Northern Kingdoms, but at present, this is only a unilateral statement from the Rhine State, not It is officially confirmed by any other country, and people can't believe it.

While people waited anxiously, time came to the beginning of the Third Age, 1639.

Fortunately, people finally realized that Dragon King Caesar did not seem to be keen on war. At the beginning of 1639, the Black Winged Nest issued a statement to Northern Kingdoms saying ：

If other countries in the Northland Alliance are willing to acknowledge allegiance Dragon King, allegiance to Black Dragon Caesar · Targeryan, and become a slave country of the Black Wing Lair. The Blackwing's Nest can save it from war, and ensure that the classification and rule of the subordinate countries remain unchanged without excessive interference.

But there are two requirements.

One is that Northern Kingdoms must fully obey the orders of the Dragon King.

The second is to pay taxes.

"Paying taxes" is a statement from Blackwing's Nest. After studying the detailed rules, the people of the North discovered that "paying taxes" actually means paying tribute in their words.

This is not uncommon. Humans have already existed. In the south, many small countries need to pay tribute to the Bulo Empire to seek refuge; but! According to the meaning of Dragon King, after becoming a subordinate country of Blackwing Lair, every line, every industry, and even everyone must "pay taxes" to Blackwing Lair!

God knows how a Black Dragon figured out such a method. These five-colored dragons, who are greedy for money, are simply exploitation! oppression! Slavery!

Originally, if it had only become a nominal vassal of the Blackwing Lair and the country could maintain its original state, the rulers had thought about it and it seemed that it would not be so difficult to accept.

However, the follow-up "tax payment" terms and conditions completely hurt their sensitive hearts. Although the tax rate is only 1%, it is completely stealing their power in disguise.

During this time, Northern Kingdoms didn’t think about counterattacking the Blackwing’s Nest, regaining the lost land of the Rhine, and even more. They were thinking about calculations and asking for help at the same time, hoping to defeat the hateful one. The Black Dragon.

After all, this is not without benefits.

Grand Duke Rayne is dead, and there is no longer a legal ruler in the entire Rhine Duchy. As long as the Dragon King and the Blackwing Lair are driven away, the kingdom they rule can carve up the land.

The Rhineland, especially the Kaki leader, is a pass to the northern wilderness. The strategic significance and economic value are self-evident and beyond doubt.

But after calmly thinking about it, they found that they could not do it.

The Northern Kingdoms nowadays, it’s not that they can’t afford an army like the Rock Fortress. To be honest, as long as they bite their teeth and scrape together, they can even gather a larger number. Coalition forces.

But it makes no sense.

Unless you have an army that is five times or ten times that of the Blackwing Clan, a small portion of the military advantage is useless at the level of Northern Kingdoms development. Several tentative multi-line attacks during this period have allowed people to see the power of the leaders of the Black Wing clan, orcs, wyvern, hounds, jackals...

The leader of the original undead Legion Corpse Dragon Here, I am afraid it can only be reduced to the same position as the leader of the Black Wing clan, and even among them, it can only be ranked to the middle and lower levels. It can even beat Hogg, Erha and Nero.

In other words, in the remaining five countries of the Northern Kingdoms Alliance, the Dragon King only needs to send the leaders of the various clans of the Blackwing Lair to lead their tribes, and they can subvert them one after another.

Military strategists and commanders judged that the Blackwing Lair is capable of multi-faceted combat, and it can even conduct multi-line operations against the neighboring Faye, Darros and Rakron three duchy, and simultaneously launch attacks.

At the same time, the Blackwing Lair stationed in the Rhine began to use shapeshifters, corrupted advertisers and merchants, and began to publicize outwards. At the same time, the propagation force composed of two-legged wyvern also cooperated. , Passing over all countries, throwing mass energy crystals in crowded places.

It records the living conditions of the people in the Rhineland after obeying the acknowledge allegiance. Although they are surrounded by monsters and somewhat horrible, it seems that those people are living well, and there are even clans. A fragment of monster helping them.

The people gradually become noisy.

In the case of great disparity in strength, a normal ordinary person would not wish for war. It would be of no benefit to them, and it also meant that everything in their long-term management was disrupted and faced The situation of loss of relatives, turmoil and banditry.

The lesson of blood in the Rock Fortress told them the fate of the resistance, and the voice of peace and acknowledge allegiance began to appear.

Of course, this is not without diametrically opposite arguments. Amidst the voices of obedience, a large number of people advocating stubborn resistance and extinction to their deaths came out, claiming to defend the glory of the Northlanders to the death. Resolutely stated his position and severely reprimanded the main surrender, degrading him as the "Dragon Slave".

From an objective point of view, the two concepts are actually not wrong, but the polarized argument is causing the internal contradictions in Northern Kingdoms to intensify, and the two factions have begun to attack each other.

However, the final decision-making power is ultimately in the hands of the ruling class of various countries.

It can be seen that they are still unwilling to give up, and they are unwilling to give up their original status as a powerful lord, and instead succumb to the dragon, but at the same time they dare not directly stand up and declare war with the Black Wing Lair.

So now the Northern Kingdoms, adhering to a cold-handling attitude of indifference, pretending to be inaudible to the demands and threats made by the Black Wing Nest, neither opposing nor approving, and nothing else. Maintain the previous state.

This situation continued until the Blackwing Lair released the second mass energy crystal.
