Chapter 303 6.51 Flying Dragon Mountains

3 days later

400 kilometers away, Kingdom of Wessex.

Flying Dragon Mountains

When everyone thought that Loki would march straight to attack the capital of Wessex, "Southampton", he suddenly turned his army and entered the Flying Dragon Mountains west of Shilin County.

This step of "turning back" was completely inconsistent with the Vikings' marching habits.

Because there was nothing in the "Flying Dragon Mountains".

Only dragons.

A hundred years ago, this was still a desolate highland. Only sparse pastures and wild wasteland wolves grew on the highlands. The Kingdom of Wessex was full of fertile land, and farmers who could make huge profits by cultivating wheat and growing fruits looked down on the "grazing" lifestyle of no fixed place, bitter and tiring.

Therefore, for a long time, the only people active in this wasteland were wild beasts, wanted fugitives by the kingdom and homeless wanderers.

Until a hundred years ago, the first generation of the king "Cadwalla" became an ally of the "Plantage Family" through marriage and trade, spent a huge amount of money to enter the Duchy of France to buy dragon eggs, and regularly sent outstanding scholars to learn dragon language.

So far, the Flying Dragon Mountains have finally been useful.

On this desolate and vast continent, flying dragons can build nests and find mates according to their preferences. The vast wasteland and sparse population also prevented these violent beasts from rushing into farmhouses and harming the people.

In order to ensure the healthy development of the dragon population, Cadwalla bought 20 different species of dragons when it was first introduced.

**

Ten thousand years ago, dragons and giants were common creatures on various continents, like sparrows and moles. Ten thousand years later, rare subspecies can still be found in the uninhabited mountains. The powerful countries of France and Byzantium in the Western Continent often sent explorers to go deep into the uninhabited Jedi to find their whereabouts.

Therefore, up to now, there are as many as 50 dragons that can be trained to ride. Given sufficient food, water and living territory, dragons can reproduce freely.

Raising dragon creatures is not a problem for each continent.

The real difficulty lies in how to train people who can ride dragons.

All humans who dare to live in the Flying Dragon Mountains are "Dragon Language Scholars" of Wessex. They live in the Dragonstone Fortress and their fixed job every day is to feed the dragons.

Then they use telescopes to observe the mating, life and language of the dragons.

Ten thousand years ago, the natural enemy of the dragons was the giants, but now the giants have all become extinct. Any creature that loses its natural enemy will inevitably grow explosively if it is not controlled.

Just after entering the Flying Dragon Mountains, Loki's troops suffered at least 10 attacks by dragons.

However, he didn't care.

"Kill these flying beasts, strip off their scales, and don't forget to bottle the precious 'dragon blood'!"

"Don't forget to enter the nest and collect their eggs!"

The combat capabilities of domestic pigs raised in pig pens and wild boars that rely on the weather and hunt in the mountains are very different.

Similarly, the subspecies of dragons that are provided with sufficient food, bask in the sun lazily every day, and occasionally compete for mates, can't compete with their wild ancestors in the wilderness.

However, this "weak" species is quite suitable for the frost giants who have just escaped from the cage to adapt to the new life.

Loki did not forget the frost giants who were opening up a new home in the Tianduan Mountains at this time. For a small number of ancient creatures that have walked out of the warm cage, the wolves and bears in the Tianduan Mountains can't let them quickly regain the remaining combat memories in their blood.

But this group of dragons can.

They are not particularly powerful, but they are by no means comparable to the fragile native creatures. After entering the Flying Dragon Mountains, Loki captured dragons and stuffed them into cages, and at the same time, he captured the dragon language scholars of Wessex.

As long as he caught them, he would open the blood stone statue and throw all the dragons and dragon language scholars imprisoned in the cage into it. When the war is over, return to the Tianduan Mountains and release them.

Any creature that wants to be strong must live under pressure.

And this group of dragons and dragon language scholars will definitely give the frost giants enough pressure. After all, they are not released for pets, but for fighting against the powerful "Aesir" together in the future.

All the way along the Flying Dragon Mountains from north to south, this island isolated on the sea suffered a disaster of devastating lives. Ten days later, when his troops walked out of the Flying Dragon Mountains, the province almost returned to the silence and emptiness of previous years.

Standing in front of Loki at this time are the last few dragon language scholars on this island who are unwilling to leave.

These few people, Loki does not want to confront them too roughly.

Like Emma Waldorf who I met when I went out to sea, these people are also blind believers of the "Socrates School" in the Western Continent. They know that this belief will not bring them any benefits.

But this group of researchers in simple clothes still take root here, risking being swallowed by dragons at any time, and living with these giant beasts that have survived from ancient times.

They are a group of pure scientists.

"Brothers, you don't want gold coins, you don't want women, you don't want a castle built for you alone, what do you want?"

In the simple Dragonstone Fortress, Loki piled a pile of Wessex gold pounds on the table, looked at the middle-aged men with gray beards opposite and said helplessly.

This time, he did not underestimate the wealth of Wessex.

After occupying Shilin County, he was surprised to find that people can change.

Two years ago, he robbed the poor Slavs and didn't even have the heart to let go of a salted fish.

However, just two years later, Loki no longer cared about silver coins because there were too many gold pounds in this city.

Shilin County guards the stone bridge leading to the Mercian Plateau. With this bridge alone, Duke Luke has accumulated unimaginable wealth. In several large stores and warehouses in the Falling Rain Highlands, he searched casually and found nearly 100 boxes of Wessex gold pounds.

When the country's productivity develops to a certain level, the gold coins piled up in front of him like scrap iron.

"My Lord Duke, if you can, I hope you can give us a few old guys a way out so that we can finish our unfinished research."

The middle-aged dragon language scholar said hesitantly. He had already recognized that the young man in front of him was the Viking invader who had been talked about a lot recently.

He also had fear in his heart.

But the fear was not that he would lose his life, but that his research was not yet completed.

Haha Loki laughed dryly.

"Brothers, I have seen people like you and know what you are pursuing."

"I said that in my territory, not only can dragons live, but I also have fresh frost giants who have just been rescued from Asgard. They are an ancient tribe that has been extinct in this land for nearly ten thousand years."

"As far as research is concerned, simply studying dragons is not as exciting as watching giants fighting dragons!"

The dragon language scholars looked at each other, but after just a few seconds, they shook their heads at the same time.
