The journey took several days. It was long but not dangerous. The castle on the mountain looked strong, and it was hard to get there if you attack. But it is not fully completed, I would say that it is about 60%. When we entered, everyone stopped building and looked at me, every dragon from this fortress looked at me with their eyes wide open. Some cried afterward, some bowed, but most just looked at me without taking their eyes off.

...

At first, there was an awkward silence, but the system immediately notified me.

"System: You have subdued 10582 Dragonoid"

As always. I wasn't surprised. It was sad that the system didn't give me extra functions, but I'm not held such hopes.

While I was in my thoughts, an old man ran to me. He looked at me and respectfully said:

-Ho ho, Master Dragon. I didn't expect to see you here. No, it is more correct to say that I did not expect to see you in this life. Come and visit our humble land. My name is Sean, glad to be of service to you.

"Of course."

I proudly entered the city. Everyone started to bow to me. And the boy who called himself the lord's son quickly approached the old man.

-Elder, how are you and my father?

-Bern, everything is fine. Your father is probably coming here with all his might, I'm sure. Although not only he is coming here, everyone who is not here upcoming

"Sean is there a place where I can rest?"

-There is. There is a place in the city center. But alas, only enough to accommodate you. Convenience will not be there yet, I'm sorry, I'm very stingy.

"It's okay, everything not particularly important can be done later"

While we were talking, we reached the city center. I was surrounded from all sides, they looked at me with eyes full of reverence. I was already used to it so I didn't pay much attention to it.

We came to the palace. There were 3 towers and 4 floors. 1 and 2 have been used so far as storage of food, water, and building materials. 3 was used for the Department of Internal Affairs. 4 has been relatively free so far. The lord's family and everyone who has a house full of resources for the wall lives here. The lord ordered the food to be moved to the tower and gave me a place on the 1st floor. He apologized repeatedly. But I understood why he was like that. The 4th floor has not been completed yet and there is not much space there. And the ceiling is low there is nothing you can do. And the first one was created wide to accommodate more.

According to them, they planned to redo the floor later. In the meantime, it would be a huge warehouse. They saved reinforced stone because there is not so much of it. Well, they said they will immediately start to build resident for me, but I stopped them. There are also the towers that were used as watchtowers. There were magic telescopes and they could see further. This was how the first two towers were built. And the third one, not yet completed, would be the magician's tower. But they have only a level 6 magician so far. This magician's name was Dan. That's his stats.

"Name: Dan

He's very gifted and I talked to him a little bit about magic. He looked at me with even more sparkling eyes because of what I told him about magic.

-My Lord, you are the wisest magician I have ever met. Please, broaden my horizons

"Be worthy of it and then we'll talk"

-Of course, My Lord, I will study the secrets of magic with all my heart. And I will naturally serve you with all my heart.

After he left, Sean came up to me

- My Lord, I am very glad that you have come here, please do not leave us. We have always honored the laws of our ancestors. And we never doubted that you would come. Even then, during the great war.

"Don't worry, I'm not leaving yet. Tell me about the great war. I don't have this information yet."

-Alright. It was a war that happened 220 years ago. Then there was a battle between the strongest races. Then we and other races ruled, not these people with dwarves. The moment we all weakened," He clenched his fist, "They, they attacked us and destroyed several races. Only then did we unite and fight them. But... there weren't enough of us. There were 40 human and Dwarf warriors per 1 warrior from our races. We also used other races, but alas, unsuccessfully. There were fewer and fewer of us. But there were fewer of them. I was only a small soldier in those days. They caught us and tortured us to destroy our will. They knew that if they tried to destroy all the races, they could die themselves, so they caught most of us and broke us. Then we were returned home, weak and helpless. They divided us into villages and kept us so that we could not leave the territories given to us for centuries. And some particularly dangerous races were sent to terrible lands, to the most dangerous places. However, the whole of our race slowly starts getting weaker. -He sighed

-But not everyone is willing to stand still. Time passes, and the kingdoms replace each other. They slowly stopped suppressing us. This gave the Union of Greens rise up and become a country. I wanted to recreate our former power. However, some stay away, and it is clear why. They don't want to die with us, because the chances are not great, but when we become a country, most of them will come here. No... they will come anyway because they also honor the traditions of their ancestors. And our golden age is near. -Sean said with a confident expression

I didn't expect such stories. After all, there were few races in the world where I was last time. And they couldn't do that. But considering that there are more races now, there are also more conflicts for racial reasons. This changes the policy with prisoners of war incredibly much. After all, if, for example, a general's son died at the hands of an elf, and he is the person who seized their lands, he will most likely simply execute their race. After all, it is not good to have someone who is not you in subordination. Hah, in my previous world, everything was simpler.

I asked them about many more things that I had accumulated during the journey and during our conversation.

Firstly, though there are a lot of intelligent races, their population is quite low. They occupy only 10% of the continent together. According to them, the maximum number of dragonoids in the continent is 50,000. Humanity is around 600,000 people. There are 350,000 dwarves. And all the other races are somewhere from 10,000 to 70,000, but they are all in villages or closed places.

Also, some intelligent races live in such dangerous places that others are afraid to set foot there. And that Union consists of 3 races. Goblins, Orcs, and Ogres.

Goblins are a race half the length of a person, unlike goblins in my head, their birth rate is the same as humans. There are about 80,000 of them. They are commoners in the union but hold positions of respected diplomats and officials.

Orcs are a race with a height of 2 meters, some 2.5. Their birth rate is lower than that of humans, and a child appears most times in 2 years. They are respected as strong warriors and elite squad soldiers. They are strong, yet in intelligence slightly inferior to people. Well, they value strength, so it's not a problem. And the smart ones among them become commanders and officers. There are about 20,000 of them.

Ogres are a race of mini giants. But they have no roots in common with giants. They are mostly nobles. They appreciate the strength, not to call morons, but also wise ones too. Their height is 5 meters. They are appreciated because in the right hands they are just a mighty fighting unit. They are used in the siege as alive catapults, break the wall with huge maces, and are generally formidable opponents in open battles until there are archers with enchanted arrows or magicians with a flight so high that they will not reach. Although I'm sure this is a problem for all races without wings. There are no more than 2000 of them.

But those who rule are a special race. This union, according to them, was created by God. When these three races merged, their royal families became the first representatives of the Green race. They are capable of becoming an Orc, ogre, or goblin at will. But they are much stronger than ordinary representatives. They are smart and are not inferior to people in their minds, on the contrary, they are even a little smarter. Their relatives are the Generals of their armies and occupy the most important posts in the country. And the power is second only to the ruler. By the way, all races are green. There are not many of them, at most 100. So each of them is worth its weight in gold.

I continued my conversation with Sean.
