Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton

He was telling the truth. The bodies of the three ancient dragons were forty to fifty meters long, almost the same size as the famously gigantic black dragon. Their physical strength alone could overpower other giant dragons.

“Well, that is indeed comforting.” Negris was slightly relieved. No matter how tough a dragon fight might get, at least he would not lose.

Changing the subject, Negris said, “Alright, enough. You’ve asked all the questions you wanted. Next time, don’t start with these. Let’s talk about the situation outside now.”

“OK, OK. I won’t ask again, I promise. Now there’s barely anyone outside hunting for you guys. The Church of Light has got bigger fish to fry for the moment. Something more shocking than Nikola’s assassination has happened.” Anthony excitedly exclaimed.

“Oh? What happened?” Negris asked. It wouldn’t be peachy if the Church of Light was always on high alert because of him. What kind of incident could be more shocking than the assassination of a cardinal?

“A fallen angel has emerged recently and is contaminating believers of the Light everywhere. Every time they capture a holy person, they rob them of their holy light and inject them with tainted holy light,” Anthony explained.

With a peculiar expression, Negris asked, “Is this fallen angel called Shamara by any chance?”

Anthony was taken aback, “Don’t tell me, you guys spawned this fallen angel too?”

“No, no, not at all.” Negris hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands in denial.

Anthony breathed a sigh of relief, “Good, good. Otherwise, cleaning up your guys’ messes would have killed me.”

Shrinking back, Negris said awkwardly, “Even though she wasn’t created by us, Ange was around when she fell. You can scold Ange.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful intent was cast onto their consciousness.

This was Ange’s soul, where Ange’s thoughts were equivalent to the god of this realm, the pressure brought by this was overwhelming.

Anthony seemed to ignore this pressure, sincerely saying, “As expected of Lord Ange, you made a holy woman fall with just a casual gesture, very impressive.”

“Hehe, yeah, so impressive, hehe.” Negris played along nervously.

After discussing the outside situation, Anthony left first. He was incredibly busy, already in negotiations with Pope Guiliani and another cardinal. To gain more benefits, he needed to have more bargaining chips in hand.

Nikola’s death, while not his fault, was blamed on him. However, this brought about unprecedented deterrence. No one wanted to end up like Nikola, being publicly executed. They all had no choice but to obey and follow the ‘Black Hand’ behind the scenes.

Negris brought over Lisa and asked about the situation in the oasis.

“The Dragon Temple was broken, the teleportation array was destroyed, many sand people died. After you guys left, the sand thieves, under the influence of a mage with a rose badge, broke the defenses of the oasis. But once they broke in, the mage left. Now, the sand thieves and sand people are simply facing off across the Central Lake, neither side able to gain superiority.”

“What? The teleportation array was destroyed? This is trouble. Now we can’t go back.” Negris was distressed.

In a flash, Anthony, who had just left, sent his consciousness back in.

“God of Knowledge, I just received news. Your beloved died, causing the Dragon Clan to rage. The Dragon Clan Chief, Brooks, led more than sixty dragons out of Dragon Island. They are likely headed for the oasis in the desert.”

“What? That punk Brooks has gone crazy? Is he trying to provoke your human truth-seekers to come forth?”
