The scorching heat baked the valley floor, causing it to become scorched black.

The astonishing scorching heat almost made the soil melt, and the torrent of flames flowed down a hundred meters away!

Nice!

Leo felt happy in his heart. He looked at the flying dragon in front of him. It was like a peerless treasure. No, it could be said to be even more important. With such a giant dragon, it could be said that a thousand armies could not stop it.

However... the mage group breathes fire, the fire dragon breathes fire, and Captain Kari's demon swordsman army also plays with fire. Needless to say, he himself, the hellfire heavy sword burns everything.

This...could he be the real Fire Lord?

Leo couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, but he didn't hide it on his face. The real fire dragon joining the Marquisdom camp would not only increase the combat power of the entire Marquisdom, but also increase its reputation and prestige.

After all, legendary creatures like dragons are too rare in Pendor's history.

"Lord Marquis, the flames of this giant dragon are not as big as expected." Captain Cary came over to pour cold water on it, "It feels like it is not on the same level as the giant dragon we met in Dragon Valley that day."

"That's an adult dragon," Leo rolled his eyes helplessly, "Xiao Fei has just entered the juvenile stage, so the two are certainly incomparable. When Xiao Fei grows up, her flames will naturally become more terrifying.

"

"She?" Captain Cary noticed the mention of her in Leo's words.

Leo didn't think much about it and nodded lightly. To be fair, Xiao Fei was definitely the strongest among the dragon cubs.

How could a giant dragon come up with so many magical greenhouses carefully crafted by humans to hatch dragon eggs?

In terms of talent alone, Xiao Fei is already proud of his peers. He seems to be a normal-sounding baby dragon. Now, it is unbelievable that this flame can be half as thick as Xiao Fei's.

This is a dragon that wins at the starting line.

Leo was thinking like this, but he saw a waiter on the side coming in a hurry, saying that the king's messenger had arrived in Lanxia City.

So fast!

Leo thought to himself that he had dealt with countless people with relatively good relationships during this period. The dragon's reappearance in Pende would be nothing short of a shock to the entire continent.

But it was also his chance to make a name for himself. The current situation in the Pendor continent was changing. He had stirred up troubles in it before, but it was just the sword in the hand of King Ulric. It seemed that he had done great things, and he had

gained an unparalleled reputation.

But in the eyes of the five royal families, he, Leo, will always be a vassal. No matter how legendary he is, it is difficult to convince the people of the entire continent.

For example, in the past, even when the Pendor royal family was completely wiped out, Alfred's claim to the throne was met with countless opposition, and the Griffin Knights directly and openly confronted him, which is enough to illustrate the majesty of the royal family on the Pendor continent.

Now he is a great nobleman of the Lion Realm Kingdom. It is certain that as long as he does not do anything, the entire Archimonde family will develop strongly for a long time in the future. The mainland will still be a good place for nobles, especially in the Lion Realm Kingdom.

Extremely generous.

It doesn't change just because he is a newly promoted noble. If he stops here, he will still receive top-notch treatment and can stay there until he dies of old age, but how can he, Leo, be willing to do so?

The most fatal shortcoming before was prestige. With the birth of the dragon, he could be said to have made up for it a lot. The territory blessed by the dragon, as soon as this gimmick came out, was enough to make Leo and many

The nobles are distinguished.

After returning to Lanxia City and seeing off the distinguished King Ulric's envoy, Leo pondered for a moment. One of the things the envoy came to ask about the dragon was, and the other important thing was to tell him,

The restless Emperor Marius, after temporarily stabilizing the situation in the rear, seemed to be eyeing the kingdom again.

Of course, speaking of it, Leo also contributed a lot to it. After all, he really involved a lot of energy in the Snake Worship Cult. The deputy leader of the sacrificial group, Kerris, was in trouble because of him.

The Snake Cult also lost a lot of power because of him, and even the phantom of the snake god Azdahaka was shattered back then.

Under such circumstances, the harm he caused to the Snake Cult was really not low. Emperor Marius was so ambitious and scheming, how could he miss the opportunity to let the huge waves in the south worship the Snake Cult? It can be said that they were retreating steadily.

He has no ability to stir up trouble.

However, after briefly pacifying the Snake Cult's attack, the Marius Emperor seemed to be restless again. The relationship between the Lion Realm Kingdom and the Bacchus Empire had never been good, and it could even be said to be a feud!

Alfred, the first generation of the Lion King of the Lion Realm, became famous because he resisted the invasion of the Bacchus Empire. He gathered countless lords and gained their allegiance to establish the Kingdom of the Lion Realm.

The success of the Lion King naturally made the Bacchus Empire's attack fall short. Without Alfred, the Bacchus Empire had already unified Pendor, how would it be today?

Seriously speaking, the biggest enemy of the Lion Realm Kingdom is the Crow Realm Kingdom in the north, but it is the Bacchus Empire in the south. This time King Ulric heard the movement in the south, and he did not dare to relax at all.

, directly sent an envoy to inform.

"Shulton, there is news from the royal capital that Emperor Marius of the Bacchus Empire seems to have the intention to invade the kingdom.

Your recent energy has been focused on this aspect. Send more people. Once there is news that the empire has mobilized troops, report back immediately." Leo said to the man in black who was bowing in front of him.

The Whisperers, the intelligence agency under Leo, are headed by Shulton in front of them.

To be fair, Shulton has actually made a lot of contributions. The biggest one was when his subordinates, Owen and others, framed Viscount Leofric and led the giants to attack the city.

This is not a great achievement, but it has an additional reward, which is the dragon egg.

Seizing the dragon egg from the Tarik Mountains is a truly great contribution. Otherwise, where would Xiao Fei be today?

Perhaps it was a coincidence. If it hadn't been for Leo, with the giant's method of raising him, he might not have been able to break out of his shell for hundreds of years, and he would have probably died in the process.

After all, Pande is not a creature suitable for such a higher level of life. Although they are extremely powerful, it is still difficult to break out of the shell and grow up at an early age.

But once the dragon egg is in his hands, its effect... is terrifying just thinking about it.

However, at this time, Shulton felt a bit uneasy and helpless. The Marquis Territory was expanding too quickly, and his Whisperer power was developing too slowly. This kind of news actually required the kingdom's spies to send to Ur.

King Rick, and then let King Ulric hand it over to Leo.

In this way, he himself still did not receive any information, but several other institutions in the Marquis territory expanded rapidly, so Shulton felt a little guilty when facing Leo.

Of course, Leo didn't think much about it. After all, the intelligence agency cannot be established overnight. The Whisperer under Shulton's current strength can be said to be extremely weak.

Weakness does not mean low combat effectiveness. After all, the intelligence agencies cannot bear this. Although in terms of combat capabilities alone, the strength of the Whisperers is almost firmly at the forefront of the mainland intelligence agencies. Otherwise, not a small number of Whisperers would have been able to break into the dense forest and seize the opportunity.

Get the dragon egg.

However, the whisperers who spy and spread the information are very few and do so without any reason. If you enter a place rashly, who will share secrets with you at will?

Not to mention the various forces, even if they come to buy with cold dinars, they still need someone willing to take it, or through various accidents, they can get hold of various key figures and provide information to their whisperers.

These all require time and opportunity, and they definitely cannot be expanded in a short time.

Although the current Marquis Territory has contributed its efforts to support the development of the Shulton Whisperers, it is obvious that the money and talents they have squandered have not been rewarded.

"Don't worry, sir. Nothing will go wrong. I will send out people to investigate one by one. If there is any movement in the empire, we will find out." Shulton said confidently.

"Very good," Leo nodded, "Remember, this time, no matter how much manpower or cost, we must deliver the news back as soon as possible. If the budget is insufficient, you can come and report to me directly."

Watching Shulton take the order and leave, Leo was slightly relieved. To be honest, the empire put a lot of pressure on him.

The reason why Leo was able to obtain a rapid promotion in title back then, especially from a mere baron to an earl, was because King Ulric noticed that there was a lack of nobles of sufficient weight on the southeastern border of the kingdom.

For example, the Viscount Leofric family originally played this role, but Leo also knew that the relationship between the Leofric family and the Silver Throne was not good for some reason.

Because of the Alfred Code, the fact that King Ulric was indeed not a bad person, and the Leofric family was relatively restrained, the Leofric family was able to survive until now.

But if he doesn't move, how can King Ulric increase the strength of the Leofric family? Then this would be too uncomfortable.

Therefore, with the appearance of Leo and the establishment of great achievements, this position fell to Leo. As for the subsequent great achievements, he was promoted naturally.

In the final analysis, Leo's greatest role for King Ulric was to suppress the southeastern border of the kingdom and avoid the empire's northward invasion.

Leo naturally did not dare to be careless about the empire. This was his foundation. Similarly, the empire was not a soft persimmon. If he was careless for a moment, Lanxia City might really suffer a disaster. He had spent several years of hard work,

It will also be wasted.

…

At this time, there was also a lot of discussion within the empire.

Siyuan City, the capital of the empire, can be considered prosperous, although compared to the other two very large cities in the empire, Siyuan City's reputation seems to be much lower.

At this time, Emperor Marius frowned and almost roared, "It took you half a month to mobilize such a small amount of troops.

Just like this, you still want to attack the Kingdom of the Lion Realm? Even the great Osa can't do it!"

"Your Majesty, I feel that now is not the time to attack the Lion Kingdom. The scourge of the Snake Cult is the problem we need to solve most.

The Lion Realm Kingdom is not Pendor, and it is separated from us by a very wide mountain range, so there is no need to attack it." A man who looked a little old said, "In my opinion, the most important thing is to protect our homeland."

Upon hearing this man's words, many imperial officials secretly rolled their eyelids. This man was the famous Archon Kairos of the empire.

His reputation is as famous as his strength. He has a very large base in Dilingang, and his family is equally strong. Not to mention his private soldiers, who are also known as the Shadow Centurion in the mainland for their bravery.

This is almost the pinnacle of human combat, the closest to the powerful knights of the Knights. Not to mention that there is also the headquarters of the Shadow Knights in his territory. The strength of this Kairos Archon is absolutely unparalleled among the many nobles in the mainland.

Countable.

However, such a powerful strength is not easy to take advantage of. Maybe the Snake Cult also feels that it is easy to bully. They surrounded the city several times. This Kairos Archon is really good-tempered and will never be provoked to attack. On the contrary,

Just do what you need to do at home.

In Leo's previous life, he was a complete homebody, and would never go out unless there was an absolute accident.

Another middle-aged man on the side was obviously disapproving, "Consul Kairos, no matter how you view the relationship between the Lion Kingdom and the Lion Kingdom, one thing you have to say is that the Kingdom of the Lion Kingdom must regard it as

The empire is the mortal enemy.

Alfred, the Lion King back then, was able to establish the Kingdom of the Lion Realm precisely because he withstood the invasion of the Osa army. For the foundation of the country, he could not give up his hostility to us.

Even though there is peace between us now, I think even you don't know how to do the mission. Does the Kingdom of the Lion Realm really have good intentions towards the empire?

The Kingdom of the Lion Realm has fertile land, obedient farmers, and a large population. We can conquer it to further strengthen the empire, and we will be more calm when dealing with the Snake Cult."

The man has a strong fighting spirit and is not polite to the extremely high-status Archon Kairos. With such a character and confidence, there is no doubt that he is another big boss of the empire, Archon Justus, the lord of the City of Knowledge.

As the top boss in the empire, in the eyes of those who are interested, his strength should not be as good as that of Archon Kairos, but it is quite sufficient.

"Fight, there is nothing to discuss," another capable strong man said loudly, with the slightest excitement of killing, "I seem to smell the soul of the dead under my sword motivating me.

The Lion Realm Kingdom is such a beautiful place. All their people should be loyal to the empire, and everyone else can be killed!"

The man's words were full of violence, which made many nobles frown slightly, but they dared not speak out in anger, because this man was the famous Titus, and he had a large number of Phoenix Knights in his team.
