Emerald City is in full swing to prepare for the Royal Navy's counterattack.

Zhang Tuohai also drove the White Bird to Scallop Island.

Scallop Island is just a small island with a population of less than 10,000. Most of them are fishermen, and the rest are merchants on merchant ships.

For Scallop Island, Zhang Tuohai was too lazy to deal with what was there, and directly let Morrill ride Alduin to the sky above Scallop Island.

Seeing the giant dragon hovering in the sky, the people on Scallop Island recalled the years when they were under the control of Longya, and quickly took out the etiquette of the time when Longya was under the control to welcome Molly.

With Zhang Tuohai's demonstration, Morrill followed suit directly, and caught the shadow governor and financial officer sent by the empire on Scallop Island, and made the aborigines on Scallop Island pay their nomination certificates for one knife at a time.

Then the hanging corpse was announced to the world, and the flag was changed to show Longya's return.

Under the coercion of the giant dragon, Zhang Tuohai and Molier took down twelve city-states in three days, restoring most of Longya's power.

It's just that the momentum stopped on Ironborn Island.

Tiemin Island has no resources and is barren and poor. It was originally on the edge of Longya's sphere of influence, but it just happened to be inside the territory and it was directly occupied without much control.

The only resources on Ironman Island are people. Because of their bravery in battle, they are called Ironmen.

After being brought under the rule of the empire, the empire took a fancy to the iron people's combat capabilities, and specially trained an infantry regiment based on the iron people and several mercenary groups.

This became the ironborn's greatest source of income.

Therefore, seeing the dragon coming, those ironmen did not change their flags, but took up arms and prepared to resist.

"What should I do?" Looking at the ironmen holding spears below in the air, Molly didn't know what to do.

It has been going smoothly all the time, but I didn't expect to hit a snag in this place.

"I have enjoyed greater benefits in the empire, so I naturally don't think about the old days." Zhang Tuohai said lightly.

"If it is normal, there are many ways to deal with it. You can put it on hold, you can transfer profits, you can invest in improving their lives, and make them feel better under our rule than in the empire. Naturally, they will love us."

"It doesn't cost a single soldier, it just takes time and money."

Zhang Tuohai said lightly.

"Unfortunately, what we lack most now is time. The news of Longya's return has already spread, and everyone is waiting to see what you can do. If an ironman stops us, we will give up. Leave it alone, then everyone will no longer be afraid of us, they will secretly link up with the empire and try to betray you in exchange for a chance to survive."

"Aren't they afraid of dragons? Aren't they afraid of my revenge?" asked Morill.

"This is the crux of the problem. A Tie Ming can block you, so what are they afraid of?"

"So, it's not that we are cruel, but that the Ironborn appear where they shouldn't be."

Zhang Tuohai said.

"The power of iron and blood is still a loose federation that seems to be in harmony with the outside world. It depends on how you choose."

Zhang Tuohai said.

"I see!"

Molly grabbed Alduin's scales with both hands.

"Blame you for blocking my way! Alduin, kill them!"

Molly yelled.

Alduin, who had been depressed for a few days, got the order, let out a long growl, and swooped down.

Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—

Watching the dragon rushing down, the Ironborn formed a phalanx and raised their spears, while throwing them at Alduin.

This is the phalanx they live on.

They even defeated Imperial infantry with this phalanx.

However, this kind of hedgehog-like phalanx was useless in front of Oduin.

Alduin rushed down, opened his mouth wide, and spat out a stream of dragon flames, from one end of the phalanx to the end of the phalanx.

The entire phalanx turned into coke.

"Destroy everything."

Zhang Tuohai said.

"Understood!" Morill controlled Alduin to rampage on Ironborn Island, turning the entire island into a fiery purgatory.

Carrying the flag of Tiemin Road, Zhang Tuohai and Mollier flew to the nearby Coral Island.

"That's what happens with resistance."

Molly planted the Ironborn banner upside down in the dirt.

"Surrender or die."

Molly said loudly.

The consul of Coral Island and the officials under him looked at each other and knelt down to express their submission.

With the news of the destruction of Ironman Island, Morrill's next journey to gather the original forces of Dragon Cliff went smoothly.

Almost everywhere you go, you can see the loyalty of the local consuls.

It was a little smoother than before.

"Sometimes blood is given to prevent more blood from being given."

Zhang Tuohai said in Molly's ear.

Molly thought about it and it was true.

"What should we do next? All the city-states have been recovered." Molly said.

"No, there is another place." Zhang Tuohai said.

"Where?" Molly wondered.

"Dragon Cliff!"

"However, it has been destroyed by the empire, and it has become a ruin!" Mollier said.

"Even if there are ruins there, it is also Longya. If you want to inherit the name of Longya, you must reoccupy this place." Zhang Tuohai said.

"I see." Molly nodded.

The White Bird turned and headed straight for Dragon Cliff.

Longya is an island with a rather peculiar shape.

The central and eastern parts of the island are plains with vegetation, water sources and beaches.

In the west of the island is a towering, almost vertical cliff.

There are large and small caves on the cliff.

Back then, Molly's ancestors came here and established a city, and those giant dragons were domesticated in caves on the cliffs.

Because the cliff is full of dragon nests, this cliff is also called Dragon Cliff, which gradually became the name of the island and the power.

After the empire captured Longya, it burned Longya city, and the residents of the island were sold into slaves, and the island was completely desolate.

Looking at the ruins of the city below from a high altitude, Molly felt a sense of sadness in her heart.

"This is the place where I grew up. I still remember that there was a pond there. I accidentally fell into it when I was rowing. There is a rockery, and I like to hide there. The grapes near the cliff are the best. I often Take a nap over there..."

Looking at the familiar places, Molly felt that the scenes of her childhood came back to her eyes.

Suddenly, Molly paused.

"No, there are people on this island!"

"Where did you see it?" Zhang Tuohai asked.

"There is a newly built house over there, which is obviously in the style of the empire. It is definitely built later, because my family hates things in the style of the empire. When they were here, they would never allow such a building to appear! "
