"System: For now we recommend you to subordinate them because in the long run, it is beneficial to you"
Hmm? Is it because my level of favorites has increased that you started giving advice? Silent, as usual. I looked at the boy and said:
"Lead to the nearest villages"
-Erm, Master Dragon, I don't know how to get out of the forest.
Damn, I should've expected that. A system, do you have something that can help
"System: Scanning the request. Confirming the rights. Confirmed. The map is open to you."
A map of the forest appeared in my head, everything else is in black. The direction is also indicated here, I easily found the direction. We went west to the hidden village.
…
Mount Tian
On the mountain, many people completed the castle. It looked tough. There was a man of about forty walking on the wall with an elder. It was clear that the middle-aged man respected the elder very much. And the old man, not paying attention to it, looked at how the wall was being built. Suddenly he spoke.
- The wall is strong, I will strengthen it later with dragon energy when it is completed.
- Are you sure that this needs to be done? Dragon energy is only reduced. And you've already used most of the energy of your bloodline.
-Ho ho, I'm already too old, even if I strengthen it using all my powers, I'll only make it resistant to level 5 spells.
-Elder Sean, don't say that. Even the capital of the Kingdom of Elvengal has only protection from a level 4 spell.
-What about the Brenga Empire? They have level 8 protection. We are up to them as far as the mountain.
- I'm sure we'll manage somehow. We have a lot of good fighters, reinforcements should arrive soon.
- Don't get your hopes up. They noticed our rebellion too soon. If only we hadn't lost to those bastards back then. After each generation, we only get weaker and weaker.
- Even if they don't come, the head of the Green Union should help us.
- Yes, he can help us, but no more. If we don't prove that we can survive, I'm afraid they'll consider us an unprofitable ally. We need to survive at least 1 attack.
-You're right, Elder. -He sighed and felt sad.
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
At that moment, another person approached them. He bowed to both of them and said.
-Lord Andre, we have found your son. He was able to escape from captivity and is now somewhere in the forest of Grona. Should I ask for help in finding him from the Dragonoids near the forest?
-Of course, also send 2 people to help them in the search.
-Yes!
- What about the other villages, did they agree?
- Only 3 villages agreed. Others can't decide yet.
- Expected-He took a deep breath - what to do
- Boy, don't be angry, you know our legends. In a difficult moment, our savior will come, the one from whom we are descended.
-I know this legend, Elder, but even after so many years, he's still gone. Where was he during that war? Where is he, and will he ever come.
- I also have my doubts. But I will never stop believing. After all, he will come. That's what our ancestors said, and I believe them.
-Yes, Elder, you're right. I hope I can see him in my lifetime.
-Just like me, my boy, just like me.
...
The next day we came to the village. He was in a small forest, in a very hard-to-find place, when we entered, everyone immediately left as soon as I arrived. And immediately everyone bowed to me, as if to God. I found out from the boy that they have many legends that a dragon will come, and they will feel it from the inside, from their kind. It can be said that I am a kind of legendary savior in their legends, which will lead them to their golden age at the moment of their despair.
"The system: You have subdued 147 Dragonoid."
All at once. It's even funny that they don't resist me. The children looked at me with sparkling eyes. The adults looked on with respect. And the old people couldn't believe their eyes. And then an old man came out among them:
-I never expected to see you in my life, Master Dragon. It's an honor for us to meet you. Please come in.
"Mhm"
I entered the village, it is small and there are few people here. Their buildings are too small for me and consist entirely of wood. So I had to stand outside. Their elder came up to me and said guiltily.
- Please forgive me! We just didn't expect to see you and weren't prepared. I apologize to you, we have already started construction.
"It's okay, I wanted to ask you a few things."
- Of course, ask whenever you want, I'll answer everything I know.
"Why do you live separately and don't unite to build a city?"
- It's a long story. I do not know everything, because in those days I was not even born. All I know is that there was a great war on the continent. After that, a lot happened and it is because of this war that our race lives separately. We keep in touch with each other and receive information. And what about the city. Many races have tried to build a city and found a kingdom. Alas, most were destroyed. And the reason for us was that finally there were races that were able to build a country. This is the Green Alliance. This is a powerful state that has proven its independence. Those friends are trying to get help from them to start founding their state. They asked many to join, but most refused.
I asked him about the war, but he said that only the elder who helps to found the kingdom knows more.
"You got 5 XP"
It's probably from hunters. Quite convenient, I must say. After about 20 minutes, another message appeared.
"You got 36 XP"
As it turned out later, they were attacked by wolves and after killing six, they drove them away. And got more food. The hunters immediately began to tell that they had become stronger. It seems that since they are now my servants, they are getting stronger faster. I've now realized how useful they are. Even just having them I can get OP.
I spent a few days in the village. During this time, I examined every resident. Turns out I don't have to watch. I can just find out their potential thanks to the system. I found several C-class people in martial arts, and one C-class person in magic. I took him along with Bern in magic. Taught the basics of fire, and water. In one day, 2 dragonoids arrived.
