Chapter 71 21

"I don't know what race you all are from but I doubt you can find your way back to your territories so I would suggest you follow us back to ours… his Majesty would be happy to receive you" The Demon Goblin in charge of freeing the captives said after opening the cages.

However, despite the speech given, the fear in the eyes of the captives remained. It didn't matter to them where they were, they were still under captivity, this could just be said to be a mere change of location.

"Sir all the captives have been freed and prepared for the walk back home" A goblin reported

"Excellent, now I want 6 goblins watching them at all times, let's move" The captain shouted as he began walking to the exit of the village.

It had only been a few minutes since they arrived and they already had the massive village under control. Naturally there were those that tried to resist but it wasn't exactly hard for a Demon Goblin to beat up an Orc.

.....

A similar scene like this could be seen taking place in various parts of the forest as various Orc Villages were emptied. The Demon Goblins laid waste to their strongest leaving their weaker ones in fear and no choice but to submit.

While this was going on though, the king in question was still within the tesseract of his own creation and looking at some dragons as they flew about. These dragons were the end point of the Wyvern's evolution and the evolution of the semi-dragons inside the cave.

"My liege, do you plan on leaving them as they are?" Ethan asked while floating beside Kingsley

"No… what sort of dumb question is that?... I'm just surprised that a 2 hour visit like this resulted in the making of more than 2000 dragons of various elements" Kingsley said

"Your Majesty's power is beyond understanding" Ethan said again

"I know... now you guys should be able to transform right into a more humanoid form, right?"

"Yes"

"Good, transform and follow me out, this space is great but isolation would turn out to be a bad thing even for a dragon later on" Kingsley said as he created a portal to the outside world

"As you wish" Ethan said with a bow then turned to the dragons and let out an incredibly loud roar that immediately silenced the bunch.

Ethan just like Viktor seemed to be a rankless being and just like Viktor seemed to have absolute control over other dragons. Viktor was called an Emperor so it was kind of obvious from the start but Ethan was just a Golden Dragon.

Initially Kingsley had just thought that it was golden because there was a species out there that manipulated gold or something instead, he was met with a being who could use all elements and possessed power unimaginable.

...

New title gained

Name: Bahumut

Description:

A title given to those who have power over a certain number of dragons. This allows them even more control over their new Horde usually given to a Dragon Lord. Comes with the ability [Dragon Tongue] that allows the user understand Dragon speech.

Bonus Effect: +1000 to all stats, 50% boost when leading dragons or dragon-related creatures, 30% increase on all troops under the user

...

"A title?... That's surprising" Kingsley said surprised by the turn of events

He had simply evolved some dragons in order to expand his army even further, he never thought that a title as good as this would come along with it. With the addition of the title, he was now finally above even Viktor in terms of Stats. First there was the 30% boost and finally this one which added another +1000 to him.

"Today seems to be going great!" Kingsley said with a smile on his face as he waited for Ethan to fully rally up his people.

First was the Scepter from the system which granted him a 30% boost to all stats now this new title gave him a whooping 50% increase to all those stats with an additional 1000 points for all stats. He couldn't lie that he understood the title since it is all looked like a title that was more suited for a dragon than a human like him but he was enjoying it's all.

"My liege" a familiar deep voice called out drawing Kingsley's attention

"Yes?" Kingsley answered turning back only to be met by a young man in exquisite armor

The young man had bright golden hair and wore an armor that was weirdly white in colour as though painted and had several golden decorations on it. The armor looked more ceremonial than functional but Kingsley absolutely loved it.

"Ethan?" Kingsley asked

"Yes, my lord, my people are ready to follow your lead" Ethan said as he gave a bow

"Where did you get the armor from?"

"These are my scales; they became like this when I transformed but I can modify them if you wish for it" Ethan answered honestly

"Scales... that kind of makes sense, can you turn it into something like this" Kingsley said removing the coat he was wearing to reveal a suit underneath it

"Of course," Ethan answered as the armor suddenly flared up like actual scales

It straightened itself and lined itself back on to the transformed dragon's body. Just like that a golden body suit appeared on the dragon's body which began puffing itself up until a suit was formed.

"That's amazing, an all-purpose piece of clothing, however this is the standard uniform for my army the higher ups" Kingsley said morphing his own clothes into a military uniform that matched that of Viktor's.

The uniform was more of a suit than a uniform but it featured some militaristic attributes and some fancy golden decoration on its left shoulder. Ethan, seeing the new uniform immediately used his scales to replicate it perfectly. Kingsley was still mesmerised by such a very convenient thing, fancy but extremely convenient.

"Nice, now let's go" Kingsley said as he happily stepped through the portal he had created

With the addition of the dragons to the territory then the population should be approaching a million or so. It may not be anywhere close to the actual number given but it was getting to it, his territory was growing and it was growing fast but it only brought a smile to his face.

Walking out of the portal, Kingsley appeared inside a large cave and behind him was a massive portal. The original pen was now useless, it was just a small mountain with a massive cave that occupied most of the mountain and a portal placed inside it.

Now that the dragons were all on his side, the pen needed to be rebuilt in a much better way that would suit their status as members of his army. Stepping out of the portal, Kingsley stood aside as the tall figure that was Ethan stepped out.

Following him was a surprisingly well-organized army of armored soldiers who marched at a clear and crisp space between each other and were extremely well organized. The Army continued to fill the cave until he had to move outside and the Dragons weren't fully out yet.

"Did I go overboard?" Kingsley asked himself as he saw the army that was now clearly approaching the 50,000 mark and more were still coming

He knew that he had being capturing Wyverns and other Dragon-related creatures ever since they began to appear which was like 3 days before the actual dragons so he had captured a lot of them but this seemed to be excessive. Were dragons actually fertile enough to produce this number of dragons in a regular den.

"Your Majesty!" Kingsley heard some voices called out

Turning to its source, Kingsley saw Viktor who was standing before his generals with their weapons placed by their side. Their body language suggested that they didn't fully trust these new comers which Kingsley understood after all even he would be like this if someone suddenly brought a bunch of people to his house.

"For you to be here, I would assume that the missions went well" Kingsley asked

"Naturally, your majesty, may I ask who they are?" Viktor asked

"That's true, Viktor, this is Ethan… Ethan, this is Viktor the current commander of all my armed forces, you are to answer to him for now until we figure out what role suits you best" Kingsley ordered while looking the dragon lord in the eye

"As you wish, my liege" Ethan said with a slight bow

"Good, Viktor you on the other hand… I don't want to hear any problems here, treat them with respect and divinity, they may be under you but remember that they are all my subjects" Kingsley warned knowing how xenophobic the goblins could get.

"I will ensure peace and order throughout your territory, my lord" Viktor answered

"Great.... In order to quickly get everyone acquitted with each other. I want a dragon in each squad, do you understand?"

"We do sire"

"Good" Kingsley said as he turned back to the dragons who seemed to have all come out of the portal

The young man floated into the air as though to announce his authority over them as he floated a few inches above them appearing like some Messiah from above.
