Then the four of them took the red dragon all the way back to the village.
The villagers came to watch one by one.
The brave men were actually very puzzled.
"Why are you always so bold? Shouldn't you be afraid when you see a dragon?" Qiang Yong asked a villager.
"Of course it's because you have captured the dragon."
"So naturally we are not afraid anymore." The villagers said confidently.
"And this dragon looks timid at first glance..." another villager said.
"Can we eat barbecue dragon steak tonight? Just like when you captured the magic cow and the magic wild boar before?" A child drooled.
"What dragon platoon?" When the red dragon heard this, he was so frightened that he quickly hid behind the brave man.
"It's a barbecue, but the steak on the backbone is the most delicious." The child said very understandingly.
"You can't eat dragons. I can talk. You can't eat anything that can talk."
"Is that so? The sheep can also bleat, and the pigs can also hum. Do they eat differently?" The child had already taken out the seasoning packet.
"Okay, little stool, this dragon has surrendered and cannot be eaten."
"You can't eat it, that would be too boring."
"Wait a minute, I can help you with your work, can you give me steak to eat?" Red Dragon drooled as he listened.
"Working?"
The villagers' eyes suddenly lit up.
So Wen Rensheng saw that the red dragon began to act as a super tractor.
This dragon is 28 meters tall and 82 meters long. It is definitely a giant.
Everyone made many ropes and tied them to its wings, tail, and legs.
It can haul hundreds of plows at a time.
Why were cattle valuable in ancient times?
Because oxen can plow the land, one ox can carry three to five strong laborers to plow the land.
If the land is not cultivated, it will be impossible to grow any good crops.
Plowing the fields is tiring and hard physical work, which is also the source of men's status in the countryside.
Women can't do this kind of thing.
It hurts the body too much.
But this red dragon is equivalent to the work efficiency of hundreds of cows.
Even, because it is intelligent, it can do many more things than a cow.
Not only for farming, it can also help villagers fetch water to irrigate their fields.
After plowing the ground, it then took on the task of watering it.
It swallows thousands of tons of water every seven days from rivers dozens of miles away.
The question is that the dragon's stomach is connected to another space.
In this way, the villagers relied on this dragon to turn the entire land in the village from dry land into paddy fields.
Irrigation once every seven days is enough to solve the water source problem of food crops.
And there's an added benefit.
Although this red dragon eats a lot, it only needs to eat mud.
What's more, what he eats is mud, but what he excretes is fertilizer, the best kind of dragon fertilizer.
When something is touched by dragon, it becomes noble.
It simply made the villagers smile from ear to ear.
So with water, deep plowing, and fertilizer, a bumper harvest came that summer.
In this feudal ancient times and the Middle Ages, food production was very low.
Generally, it depends on the seed-to-harvest ratio.
Often, if you sow 10 kilograms of seeds, you can only harvest 20 to 30 kilograms of grain.
It's simply speechless.
Generally speaking, dry land can harvest 50 to 100 kilograms.
Paddy fields are very powerful and can yield about 300 kilograms.
And those weighing 300 to 400 pounds are already good paddy fields.
Therefore, large-scale peasant uprisings rarely occurred in Jiangnan in ancient times, because paddy fields were highly productive, and even if there was only a small amount of land, they could barely make a living.
Moreover, the relative yield of paddy fields is stable.
Unlike dry land, everything depends on the weather.
And through the work of this dragon, the Novice Village where the brave man lives has an income of up to 600 kilograms per acre of land!
The yield per mu of 600 kilograms can be said to be equivalent to modern yield.
In modern times, it is through breeding, chemical fertilizers, regular watering, pesticides and many other BUFF additions.
The average wheat yield is only six to seven hundred pounds per acre.
It can be said that this dragon is really full of treasures.
The villagers sang and danced with the red dragon for the first time.
They were very happy, which meant that after deducting the taxes paid to the lords in previous years, they would still have a large amount of food left.
There has never been so much food.
The four brave men were also dumbfounded.
"Good guy, have we defeated this dragon now?"
"Then why haven't we seen hope of defeating the Demon King yet?"
"Yeah, I still feel like I don't have a clue."
They felt that they were really patient this time.
More than half a year has passed since Red Dragon was captured.
The summer harvest is over.
But they still have no clue.
So they went to find the prophet at the entrance of the village again.
Brave Spear said: "Great prophet, this red dragon is now very obedient."
"So what should we do next?"
"Did the red dragon really obey?" Wen Rensheng asked.
He could easily see what was coming next.
"Yes, look at how obedient that red dragon is. It doesn't do evil now, but works in exchange for food."
"Haha, that's good. You did a good job. This dragon has indeed integrated into the villagers smoothly, but have you really defeated him?" Wen Rensheng asked again.
"Yes, we have defeated it. You see it is so honest and obedient, are there any other problems?"
Everyone was also puzzled.
Wen Rensheng shook his head and said: "It is just your prisoner now, your slave."
"It doesn't volunteer to do so much work."
"You have to build a bond with him."
"What is a bond?"
"Only when we can entrust each other with a life-and-death relationship can we truly defeat him. Otherwise, we can only defeat him." Wen Rensheng explained.
Knock it down?
Then they understood.
Now they just use the red dragon as a labor force.
But I didn't really make friends with it.
How to make friends with a red dragon?
Soon they had an idea.
The brave men said to the villagers: "Now the red dragon is considered one of us."
"It is no longer a slave or captive. It has solved its sins."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You should take out your own food and give some of it to the red dragon."
"Rather than just letting it eat the mud and letting it work in vain."
Originally, the brave men thought that the villagers would object.
However, what makes them feel happy and gratified is that these villagers are still very simple and they are not greedy.
They had long felt that after the great harvest, the red dragon should not continue to eat mud.
Even a pig is not raised like this, right?
If the red dragon were a cow, it would eat better than humans.
"What the brave man said is right."
"Yes, it has helped us obtain so much food that we can't finish it for several years now. We use it to raise pigs and sheep, and then feed the dragons."
Soon they reached an agreement with the Red Dragon.
They barbecue steaks for Red Dragon once a week.
It looked like he was being fed three pigs at a time.
Because the villagers had abundant food, each household raised five pigs.
There are 300 households in this village, which can raise more than 1,000 pigs.
If this is the case, it will be enough for the red dragon to eat.
Of course, it’s just a tooth-beating ceremony, not a real meal.
Let the dragon open its belly to eat, and a whole country can be devoured.
For these villagers, this is a very cost-effective thing.
Paying more than 1,000 pigs every year may seem like a lot, but it is paid by the whole village.
However, they were able to harvest more than ten times more food than before.
The food they got from the red dragon far exceeded the feed food they paid.
While the villagers and the red dragon were living in harmony, the brave men were also very happy.
But the good times didn't last long, and soon the nearby lords heard that there was a red dragon here.
Moreover, the red dragon even outran hundreds of cattle.
The lord immediately sent people to snatch the red dragon.
The lord was a baron.
The baron's stewards and knights came to the village in great glory.
They said: "Such a good dragon should be given to the lord for use!"
"And the taxes in your village will be adjusted again."
"You must hand over 90% of all the food harvested this time to the lord."
"We have worked hard on this land, why do you want to harvest 90% of it?" Brave Spear said angrily.
"It's ridiculous. How can these untouchables have their own land? These lands belong to the lords."
"The lord is just temporarily allocating the land to you for your use."
That's right, in this feudal Middle Ages, not to mention the land, even the forests, rivers and mountains were all owned by the lords.
If you go to the mountains to cut firewood or go down to the river to fish, you must pay taxes to the lord and obtain the lord's permission.
Otherwise, the limbs will be cut off.
Or drive you out of the village.
These villagers used to live in such a callous manner.
It can be said that they are all on the verge of death.
It is precisely because of this that many people are willing to take risks and become mercenaries.
It's really because in my hometown, the chances of surviving are not high.
At this time, the lord also sent a group of knights to recover their food.
Every one of the villagers was very depressed.
But they couldn't resist.
I had no choice but to quickly find the brave men to deal with these lords.
The last time they fought against the Demon King for leveling, they had no conflict with the lord.
Because they fight monsters, which is equivalent to maintaining order for the lord, so the lord treats them well.
They went to the lord's castle and met the lord.
This time, the lord met them and said:
"Since the red dragon is something in the mountain, everything on the mountain belongs to me."
"So the red dragon is naturally mine, so don't say any more."
"In short, I want to take this red dragon away, and you are not allowed to have any objections."
The brave men were very angry and said:
"But the red dragon is us, we captured it, and we have the right to arrange it."
"Hahaha, what rights do you have? You robbed my things, and I let them work for you for a year. I wish I didn't ask you for compensation."
The lord said fiercely, "Get out of here, otherwise, I will issue a wanted order for you and declare you to be thieves!"
The brave men were very angry.
So they decided to use their fists.
Since their words didn't make sense, they immediately beat up the lord's knights and the lord himself.
The lord had no choice but to beg for mercy.
"Sure enough, relying on your mouth is worse than relying on your fists."
"Weapons of criticism are better than weapons of criticism."
The lord who escaped with his life was very angry.
He then reported it to the king.
and make a request.
The king then heard that there was a red dragon among the villagers.
And the red dragon is full of treasures.
This dragon is equivalent to the labor force of a thousand cows.
The king was very interested in this.
You know, in this kind of feudal Middle Ages, kingdoms like theirs were actually very small.
The labor force of a thousand cows is definitely a number that cannot be underestimated.
And the most important thing is this red dragon, which has a long lifespan.
It can be said that it can live for thousands of years.
In other words, catching this red dragon is equivalent to robbing his descendants of a cow that will last for thousands of years.
This is not something ordinary cows can compare to.
After thinking of this, the king immediately sent out his most elite direct guard.
Including 60 guard knights, 200 elite knights, and 1,000 heavy infantry.
This is already a very powerful force for the king.
And if the red dragon can become his labor force, he can completely double his direct power.
These feudal powers, especially medieval city-states, were often very small.
With an area of 70,000 to 80,000 square kilometers, it is a very large and accomplished force.
This is actually pretty good.
Therefore, the value brought by this red dragon cannot be underestimated.
There are even some people among the court mages who say that by taking out the dragon's blood or even its heart, you can refine the magic medicine of immortality.
After this rumor spread, the king wanted to catch the red dragon even more.
Soon the four brave men found themselves facing new challenges.
The king's soldiers are very powerful.
Of course, in front of the brave, it is still not enough.
After a hard battle, the brave men defeated the troops directly under His Majesty the King.
However, because they were not good at killing, they defeated each other, but in the end they had to retreat in embarrassment.
Because the king sent more people.
Although they are just ordinary soldiers.
But it is even more difficult to deal with.
Mainly because they are ruthless.
Killing monsters and leveling up is fine, but killing too many monsters is not good.
The king then began to attack the village.
The villagers had no choice but to go to the village prophet.
Wen Rensheng told them directly: "You can run into the mountains and live in the dragon cave."
Some villagers are very depressed.
"Obviously when we didn't have dragons before, we could still live peacefully."
“Although it’s a bit harder, there’s no need to leave home.
"Now that there is a dragon, it will cause such a big disaster. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"
Wen Rensheng said: "This is the so-called blessing in disguise. How could you know that it is not a blessing?"
He then began to tell the four warriors.
"The reason why you can't defeat the devil is because you don't have real power."
"The real power actually lies in these villagers."
"Do you understand now? It's not easy for you to defeat the king now."
"Because you are still brave."
"You must go from brave to king. Become a king first, and then defeat the devil."
"Yes," these brave men suddenly realized, "I understand, we defeat the king and then become the king."
"Our defeat of this red dragon actually requires us to dominate the world. Only by dominating the world can we truly own this dragon."
