Chapter 2 The war comes as promised

Because of Ying's announcement, Joshua soon learned about Munster's arrival.

"Strange thing, Is there something to ask me for? But isn't there a teleportation network in the North now? He can use spells to notify me in the imperial capital, so there is no need to ask for a meeting on the spot."

He said to himself with some confusion that the warrior didn't care about such trivial matters. He stopped his work and went to the living room at the bottom of the building to meet this old acquaintance.

After a greeting, he welcomed the good news that Munster traveled thousands of miles from the imperial capital.

It was a commendation order from the royal family.

"This is?"

With his eyebrows raised, Joshua curiously picked up the medal that represented the imperial royal family with the sun emblem. He looked at the middle-aged examiner who was drinking tea, waiting for the other party's explanation.

"Since some confidential matters are involved and cannot make a big fuss, the royal family has not sent a special mission to grant you this honor."

But it is obvious that Monster would have misunderstood Joshua's meaning. He put down the teacup and began to explain other things in detail: "The north is too far from the imperial capital, and few people know you. I am quite familiar with the Count. So your Majesty is giving me the mission of inspecting the north and north of the empire, and ask me to send these to you."

Speaking of this, he looked at the warrior with admiration: "It was the first time I saw the group of high-level mages in the Royal Mage Association showing that expression. It felt like the expression of a traveler who had been in a desert for a week when he saw the oasis. Lord Earl, what did you send to them?"

"I said why didn't you teleport here? It turned out that you were on the way during the inspection...what did you send? I was not asking this, I was asking what medal this is."

Repeat his words and thought for a while, Joshua could guess the reason. He touched his chin and hesitated: "Can it be the Crazy Dragon Fog I sent last time? Speaking of which, I didn't hear the follow-up of Haiyuan Derivatives, but now, all the rewards were sent together."

The bottled black mist he found in the dragon's nest last time was confirmed to be a high-purity mad dragon virus and has a clear tendency to chaos. Any creature infected by it will not only be a dragon, but will gradually become a chaotic family member.

Although the success rate of the conversion is very low, even less than one thousandth, even crazy is dangerous enough. Knowing that he does not have the ability to deal with this thing, Joshua simply borrows Brandon's relationship and sends it to the Royal Mage Society, allowing the group of mages who are almost always staying in the laboratory to try to find a way to crack it.

Joshua didn't expect anything at all. After all, he had never heard of the Crazy Dragon vaccine in his previous life, but now, according to the rewards he received, he is afraid that it has not been developed successfully.

"The Primroot of the Crazy Dragon Disease? So that's it, and it's explained."

On the side, Monster suddenly realized, and then he began to explain that Joshua explained the origin of the badge in his hand.

"The imperial royal family takes the sun as their herald, and the medal you are in your hand now, called the dawn emblem, is regarded as the highest standard glory proof that nobles can obtain. It represents your indelible contribution to the entire empire."

When he said this, Monster even bowed to the emblem. He said to Joshua with emotion: "Maybe you don't know, Lord Joshua, the items you sent have brought great inspiration to the Royal Mage Association. As far as I know, they have developed a finished potion through this, which can make the various types of dragons commonly used by the Dragon Caravan Caravan to immunize the crazy dragon disease. If the degree of madness is relatively mild, it can even be directly relieved."

Sure enough, the countermeasures were developed. The warrior nodded slightly. This is indeed good news. With this kind of potion that can suppress the crazy dragon disease, at least you don’t have to worry about the sudden riots of the animals or livestock around you, especially the Earth Dragon. At this time, the airship has not been developed successfully. The dragon caravan is the aorta of imperial trade. If the caravan is paralyzed, not to mention anything else, where can the North import fruits and grains and some other specialties?

"Now, the empire is ready to prevent the dragon disaster in an all-round way, and will never lose most important coastal port cities like the Far South Kingdom that was raided."

Monster continued, and he looked very excited: "And a few days ago, the elves and messengers of the Far South Royal Family were met in the Morley Palace, and they seemed to need our potion in urgent need..."

When he arrived here, the middle-aged censor suddenly kept silent. He shrugged and signaled that this was a confidential incident. However, without Monster's words, Joshua could guess that the Empire must have made a big fuss on this matter, otherwise the imperial emperor would not be so happy that he even brought a medal himself.

No wonder, I just did a little work, so why did I get a dawn emblem known as the highest glory? The reason is all here.

Next, there was nothing to say. Monster said that he would go to inspect the other three of the four northern leaders, and Joshua also sent him out of the lord's mansion and watched him disappear at the corner of the street.

Before leaving, the examiner did not forget to remind the soldiers to remember to attend the celebration banquet in the imperial capital in early April. As a celebration day for the complete extermination of orcs, it might turn into a festival that will occur every year. Even if the two dukes from both the east and west will go to celebrate that day, in fact, basically the top leaders of the entire empire will go to the imperial capital. If you don’t want to be a freak who is not in the same place, it is better to go there.

Of course, Joshua won't forget this. He must have gone to the imperial capital. Recently, the territory has been peaceful, and the old dwarf has temporarily returned to Heigang Town. The improved version of magic armor has been confirmed. He is planning to produce more than a hundred sets for the dwarves who are digging tunnels to use them first to see the results.

Without the Paladin to compete with him, nor the old dwarf to study magic technology with him, Joshua had to do nothing and was very leisurely every day. As for the dragon disaster, it would take at least half a year to spread from other places to the north where the dragon nest had been wiped out, so there was no need to consider it at all. Now, in addition to participating in the celebration banquet, he also planned to see the famous Magic Beast Shooting in the imperial capital, buy a few gold-level monsters, and complete the Jiyi Trial Mission mission.

As for the dawn emblem... Joshua was not a real aristocrat in his heart. He didn't care much about these so-called glory. And even from a systematic perspective, this badge only added insignificant aspects such as prestige and charm. For the warrior, it was very useless because no matter what, it was impossible to turn his negative twenty charm back into a positive number. After thinking about it, Joshua put it into his collection room and let it accompany the Flame Double Snake Ring and the strange [Fire Steel Fragment].

Back in the study, Joshua continued to handle official duties. He was watching the information about the Far South Kingdom dealing with the dragon disaster, but now it is naturally continuing.

Because of the fact that Clayel, his comrade-in-arms, Joshua was very concerned about the information in the Far South. Although in the previous life, the elves relied on their defense of the Fortress and did not suffer much damage from the Dragon Cause, this does not mean that they are really safe. In fact, the warriors knew that many small and medium-sized elves villages and towns were broken by the Crazy Dragon and slaughtered. In the face of the crazy dragon species, there was no difference between humans and elves.

After confirming that the Wind Song clan where the elf druid is located is a large elves community, the warriors felt much more relieved. He began to focus on information about the Far South Kingdom. He personally participated in it in his previous life, but now he is from the perspective of bystanders.

On March 12, 833, the last coastal city of Ruer, the Far South Kingdom, was turned into ashes by a huge blazing fire. The grass was left where the dragons passed, and countless wild beasts were driven away by the dragon's power, and even formed a small wave of beasts rushing northward.

Fortunately, most of the people in the occupied areas have been evacuated urgently, saving their lives. Millions of people have left their hometowns. The amount of food, accommodation and various materials they need is so large that even the Far South Kingdom, which has always been rich, cannot bear it. In several cities around the Nanling Mountains, due to food shortages, local riots have occurred. Under the deliberate instigation of some rioters, this riot is gradually spreading.

For a country, the turbulent people's hearts are even more terrifying than the terrifying dragon disaster.

And Joshua knew that this was just the beginning.

The dragon disaster in the previous life brought not only war, but also completely shattered the trust of some people in the famine-south kingdom. With countless people displaced and left their hometowns, most people who were short of food and clothing would not seriously think about the causes of the disaster and understand the difficulties of the kingdom. They would only blame the inaction of the senior leaders, which also laid the groundwork for the subsequent division.

The news of the fall of Ruhr City reached the Far South King Capital on the same day. Fortunately, the army of the Far South King Kingdom had also been rectified. The coalition forces formed by nobles and central governments from all over the country had set out from the Bodington Fortress and took the initiative to wipe out several flying dragon clusters heading towards the gathering place of refugees in the Nanling Mountains. However, this could not reverse the bad situation, and could only try to maintain the defense line.

On the thirteenth, traces of several iron-scaled dragons were found in the Silent Forest. This was originally a very docile omnivorous original dragon. It was known for its hard scales. However, after the violent change, they completely turned into killing machines. There was no left of half a living creature in the place where they passed, and even the trees were gnawed away. Although they were wiped out by the elves the next day, they also caused great losses.

On the fifteenth, the commercial alliance in the south was also attacked by the dragon group. Unexpectedly, they were so large that they suffered considerable losses in the early stage. Several coastal trading cities were attacked by the sea stegosaurus group, hundreds of merchant ships sank on their routes that had been sailing thousands of times, and the envoys of the royal family from the far south also returned from the north.

On the 19th, the first large-scale battle between the Kingdom Alliance and the Dragon Group began on the Gramma Plain. Because of the Black Tide, the human army had rich experience in dealing with this large beast. With the help of the fort built on the spot and the Earth Dragon that took the Crazy Dragon Antibiotics as a restraint, the Alliance eliminated tens of thousands of flying dragons at a very small cost.

On the 22nd, based on several major cities in the central region, the Far South Kingdom established an iron barrel-like defense line, completely separating the occupied areas and the safe areas. The war temporarily fell into a stable stage, and the kingdom's top leaders began to do their best to eliminate the riots hidden among the refugees.

But those rioters who were obviously believers of Chaos hid very well. This time, the removal returned to the death without success. Seeing this, Joshua couldn't help but frown.

The entire dragon disaster can be said to be a conspiracy of the Chaos believers. They only took such a lot of effort to prepare for hundreds of years to meet the conditions for the arrival of the evil gods, and even planned to incite refugees to destroy the stability of the rear. In the eyes of the soldiers, the cleaning efforts of the Far South Kingdom were really not enough. They attached too much importance to the dragon and did not pay much attention to those refugees.

It is now 833. On March 27, a new round of war reports has not yet been sent, but history is still moving forward. Now, not only the far south, but also the dragon disasters of varying intensity have erupted across the mainland. Even the northern empire on the other side of the world are like this. Only the north where the Dragon Nest has been wiped out is still peaceful. Although there are occasional wild beast dragon species appearing, it is not as large as a group.

But now, it is just the tranquility before the storm.

Joshua turned his head and looked at the huge world map behind him, and he focused his eyes on the south.

The war has come as promised. (To be continued.)
