YM778.TV Chapter 263: 220: The Deal with the Military
Even though they were Replicas, they were controlled by the original Bone Dragon Boss; the result was that dozens perished or were crippled during an airborne landing—a higher intelligence wouldn\'t have made such a basic mistake.
"Master, Bone Dragons have no intelligence. Although they are resurrected by Dragon Souls, they only retain their martial will from before death. Without orders, they would act on instinct."
If any Bone Dragon managed to retain the memory of its Dragon Soul from before death, that would count as a kind of Resurrection.
Then the Giant Dragons wouldn\'t hold such animosity towards those Death-class practitioners who raised Bone Dragons.
"Go down then, hoping this time we get a good haul."
The people from the Coalition of Nations, in order to cause chaos in the Great Xia Empire, the Black Dragon\'s Nest on Dragon Island was just one of their methods.
To maximize the use of the Black Dragon\'s Nest, three Resource Islands were hidden in the sea off the border of Shenglong State, dedicated to crafting equipment, items, and potions suitable for the descendants of the dragon blood.
Unfortunately, Dragon Island was exposed too quickly, and these three Resource Islands hadn\'t had time to provide resources to Dragon Island before Zi Liyuan eradicated the Black Dragon\'s Nest.
So, when Zi Liyuan interrogated the three Black Dragons and got this information, he immediately rode the Black Dragon Sister to the three Resource Islands.
With someone like the Black Dragon Sister to lead the way, even if the Resource Islands were shrouded in battle array fog, locating them was spot-on.
The reason why Zi Liyuan wanted to hog these three Resource Islands for himself was twofold: one, the defenders were not very strong, and two, the islands had plenty of resources.
The materials needed to craft equipment, items, and potions for the descendants of dragon blood were not few; Lord Zi planned to start an armament company with Shen Yurou, which would need a lot of materials.
Now that such facilities were freely offered up to him, there was no reason to pass them by.
Besides, what he was looting belonged to the foreign powers of the Coalition of Nations, so there was even less of a moral burden.
After all, Lord Zi had a grudge against them—previously, the Wokou had wanted to kidnap him.
When Daris landed on the island, the battle here also reached an intense peak.
The Bone Dragon Bosses, even if not capable of casting spells, were not something most of the auxiliary class practitioners on the island could resist with only their immense skeletal frames.
As for the warriors, they were not particularly numerous, and facing the siege of hundreds of Bone Dragon Bosses, they fell one by one in bitter defeat.
Watching one human after another, not anthropoids, torn to shreds by the Bone Dragons, Lord Zi\'s eyes shone with indifferent light.
He was no saint; slaughtering these foreigners was just a matter of different positions.
As a person from the Great Xia Empire, he had no fondness for the Coalition of Nations. Especially those who served them, killing them didn\'t weigh on his conscience at all.
Zi Liyuan casually summoned a host of epic behemoth Bosses, then, using the "Elemental Map," he proceeded toward the center of the island with Daris, Lao Tie, and Lao Gui, all in their human forms.
At the center of the island, a huge warehouse was built, filled to the brim with various materials, especially various minerals.
Upon opening the doors to the warehouse, what came into view were various metal ingots—a mere glance revealed at least tens of thousands of tons.
"Very good, with these as a foundation, we won\'t need to purchase any metal materials for the early stages of the armament company."
He nodded with satisfaction and began to pack and take them away.
Thankfully, these metal ingots were already refined. If they were still raw mineral materials, it would be nearly impossible to pack and take them all away; now the process was much simpler.
One spatial slot was capable of holding a batch of 200 identical metal ingots. All the ingots in the warehouse were packed and taken away without exceeding 200 spatial slots.
Apart from various materials and supplies, the only high-quality treasure on this island, similar to the one on Dragon Island, was a purple-quality battle array fog statue.
With Lord Zi\'s nature of plucking every feather, of course, he wouldn\'t let go of any good things, practically emptying the entire island.
It was only afterwards, feeling still unfulfilled, that he sent the coordinate information to General Huang, letting him arrange for the military to wrap things up.
After all, he had helped remove a nail that the Coalition of Nations had driven into the Great Xia Empire, and that ought to be considered a merit, right?
Since he did a meritorious deed, then receiving some substantial benefits wasn\'t too much to ask for, was it?
Therefore, monster lairs, open-world dungeons, they could send more of those— he wouldn\'t mind them at all.
After exterminating all the people of the Coalition of Nations on the island, Zi Liyuan again activated the "Elemental Map" and the Eye of Death to scout around, ensuring there were no more signs of life before riding the Black Dragon Sister to the next Resource Island.
It took two full days, but with the help of the Black Dragon Sister as a guide, he cleaned out all three Resource Islands.
And for the first time, Zi Liyuan felt a sense of fulfillment, because ever since he got a large number of Blood Rune Packs, his spatial slots had never been fully filled.
Now that he had taken over three Coalition of Nations\' Resource Islands, the resources he acquired were so abundant that they filled his space, which had 4000 slots.
"The Coalition of Nations seems to be throwing resources around carelessly to move against the Great Xia Empire; I really want to loot a few more Resource Islands."
Unfortunately, only three were set up by the Coalition of Nations with dealings with the Black Dragon, and knowing the Black Dragon\'s nature, they hadn\'t brought their most valuable resources to these islands.
"Master, there are quite a few monster lair islands in the sea. If you summon more flying Undead, a carpet-style search will surely reveal many."
