It was a feat of such unimaginable precision that even I, a being with dominion over two aspects of nature, could only watch in silent awe.
To weaken herself deliberately, to spend her own strength to halt the tide of violence instead of fueling it—this act required not just technical mastery, but a heart of staggering resolve.
Amidst a battlefield meant for death, Eliza had chosen life.
A single bloom of jade green in a desert of crimson ruin, defying the inevitable like a lone star standing against the encroaching night.
The Barbarian King Victor on the side also fell silent when he saw this scene.
Although he knew Eliza's character and style of doing things,
Forget it, he doesn't know what to say.
After taking control of the battlefield, Eliza looked at the Black Dragon Lord and Victor, opened her lips lightly, and said,
"Let's reconcile. The mainland is already in chaos. There are too many living beings suffering from the ravages of war. As a strong man, it is really disrespectful to affect the lower-class living beings."
I and Victor looked at each other. The former's expression became increasingly weird, as if he was saying to the latter, are you sure this is your helper?
The corners of Victor's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but ask, "Queen Eliza, it is an evil black dragon."
"I have heard about the Black Dragon Lord from the neutral camp in the southern Dark Forest. Victor, the conflict between you must be a misunderstanding."
Before Victor could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Eliza.
Misunderstanding?
I finally couldn't help but laugh. This prairie elf queen was really funny.
But whether Eliza deliberately mediates the conflict like this, or she is just so naive, this situation is definitely not going to be fought now.
I took a deep look at the Barbarian King Victor and said with some meaning,
"It belongs to whomever it belongs to. Being too greedy will kill you."
After seeing that the situation did not go as he thought, Victor also realized that this battle could not be fought. He heard the innuendo in the Black Dragon Lord's words and responded coldly,
"Black Dragon, if you want to rob it, then come and try."
Snatch?
Eliza frowned slightly and turned to look at the Black Dragon Lord, hoping he would explain.
But I'm no longer in the mood and was too lazy to talk nonsense about this matter. According to the speed at which my strength is improving, the Barbarian Royal Court will just die sooner or later.
A domineering dragon roar resounded across the battlefield, and a green light swept toward the wasteland with the Black Dragon Lord as the center.
Those extremely tough flowers, plants, and vines withered and died.
Second-level special alienation talent——[Plant Growth] and [Friend of the Forest]
The special alienated talents of plant growth, and friend of the forest, naturally not only allows plants to grow but also controls the decay and withering of all nature.
It has to be said that with more abilites, you naturally have more means at your disposal, which is quite convenient.
The armies below, after being freed from restraints, each received a truce and retreat order from their leader and separated in a tacit understanding.
A huge white light gate with a height of more than a hundred meters and a width of several hundred meters appeared behind the army of Black-Winged Families.
Under the leadership of Skye, the Black Wing Familia army began to evacuate in an orderly manner.
When the Barbarian King Victor saw this, he snorted coldly. He did not intend to ask for trouble and continued to stay. He turned into a stream of light and disappeared from here.
Only the Black Dragon Lord and Queen Eliza were left in place.
Eliza stared at the Black Dragon Lord curiously and finally couldn't help but ask,
"Is your ability a magic ability? No, it is essentially different from magic."
"Why would I want to answer your question?" I snorted, and the huge black dragon body entered the any door, leaving Eliza with a powerful silhouette.
In the same place, Eliza was the only one left now.
The prairie elf stood in a daze for a while, then stepped back into the green vortex.
A majestic and turbulent war ended so hastily.
This outcome was obviously not expected by either party.
What Victor wanted was to bring the Orc Sword Master Taylor over and kill him with the help of the Black Dragon Lord, so as to completely control the legendary sword "Red Blade: Thirst for Blood."
At the same time, when the Orc Sword Master died, Queen Eliza would be summoned to witness the evil deeds of the Black Dragon Lord, and then the two second-level powerhouses would join forces to fight the Black Dragon Lord.
It would be best to kill the huge threat of the black dragon. If not, then they should take this opportunity to force the Black Dragon Lord to sign various unequal contracts.
---
And what did black king think?
First, take the opportunity to enslave the Orc Sword Master and secretly control the great power of the Orc Kingdom.
And this is now half successful—that is, enslaving the Orc Sword Master—and the rest is to control the Orc Kingdom, which is what needs to be done next. Although the Orc Sword Master Taylor is the only legend in the Orc Kingdom today and has the highest right to speak, there are too many clans in the Orc Kingdom, and they all have different ideas. Those who truly believe in Sword Master Taylor probably don't even reach a third, so naturally, it can't be called full control.
Second, see if I could kill the Barbarian King, then control the Barbarian King's Court and the Albit Kingdom, and expand the territory of the Black Wing Lair.
For this reason, I specially summoned the demon dragon Diaharut, the six-armed snake demon Ozzy, and the centaur king Mohandersen, and teleported the latter three to the battlefield at any time, just to see if there was a chance to gang up on Victor and capture him.
The strength of the demon dragon Diaharut was comparable to the most common legendary professionals a year or two ago. Driven by the contract with my essence and blood, now his strength has improved again. If the legendary level is also divided into lower and middle levels going up, the strength of the demon dragon Diaharut is equivalent to rising from the lower level to the upper level.
In addition, the six-armed snake demon Ozzy and the centaur king Mohandersen are both legendary strongman. The former, like the demon dragon Diaharut, has obtained the highest-level essence and blood contract, and his strength is increasing day by day. In addition, the six-armed snake demon race is not inferior in strength to the dragons. Ozzy's strength must have touched the second level of the legend, even if he has not yet been a legend for very long.
The Centaur King, Mohandersen, is a very ordinary race. Although he has obtained my family contract and the power of the void Overeat, the time is still short, and the effect is almost zero. But Mohandersen is also a genius. The secret skills of successful cultivation perfectly match the true meaning of legend that he has understood. His strength is not at the bottom among the first level of legend, but belongs to the middle level and upwards.
With the help of these three family members, and my ability to steadily overpower Victor, it was not just his imagination to keep him.
However, I also thought that if I could find helpers, Victor might be able to find helpers as well, so I didn't have high hopes of taking advantage of Victor.
Summoning the three of them, Demon Dragon Diaharut, will play a more important role. It is actually a kind of prevention.
If Victor didn't find a helper, then they would swarm in and kill him. If he did find a helper, the role of the three of them would be to contain the helper that Victor found.
With the most powerful six-armed snake demon Ozzy as the core damage dealer, and the Demonic Dragon Diaharut as a meat shield tank, and the Centaur King as an overall assistance, ordinary second-level legends can be contained.
If the helper who comes is too strong, just teleport away and escape.
But this possibility is quite low.
Through the information channels established by the Crimson Nest and the Black Wing Nest, I still have a general understanding of the top powerhouses in the Tal Continent.
Nowadays, the mainland is divided into three major forces.
One is the Crimson Nest (the strongest), the second is the Pan-Continent Alliance Army, and the third is the neutral camp that sticks to its own power (the weakest).
Among them, the forces of the Crimson Nest, excluding the Crimson Mother who did not come to the Tal plane, are the dragons of the Crimson Nest—the four legendary dragons.
In order of strength, they are: the legendary red dragon 'Mazan,' the legendary blue dragon 'Matos,' the legendary green dragon Clavier, and the legendary black dragon 'Brons.'
There were originally five legendary dragons, but the weakest legendary white dragon 'Karon' was killed by a sneak attack by the Bloodlight Dragon Hunting Crossbow.
Among the remaining four legendary dragons, the red dragon Mazan should have reached the third level, and the third level is already the top-level powerhouse on the surface of the Tal Continent. The fourth level existed a long time ago. It has appeared before, but it is not certain whether it still exists now, and the fifth level—if the legendary golden dragon Ignis Crown who fought a fierce battle with the Crimson Mother thousands of years ago is still there, then it exists.
Therefore, those who reach the third level are already at the top of the continent.
For example, the fallen Orc King was a legendary strongman of the third level. Of course, he died miserably and unluckily. He was crushed to death by a sudden slap from the Crimson Mother.
The rest of the legendary strong men who have reached the third level can be counted on one hand. And these strong men are now being tortured by the Crimson Nest. How can they be summoned by the Barbarian King to become helpers?
Victor doesn't have such a big face.
He is just a poor barbarian from the Northern Territory. In the past, only the Frost Elves were relatively close to them due to geographical reasons. Other forces basically had little contact with the Barbarian Royal Court.
Since the two battles between the Barbarian Court and the Black Wing Lair, the northern part of the wasteland has become increasingly desolate.
The two forces use the northern part of the wasteland as the border and do not invade each other. They each develop their own things and are both motivated.

Dark forest.
The monster city beneath the Black Castle.
A group of colorful dragons flew in from the distant sky.
Gold, silver, copper.
Red, blue, black.
Chromatic dragons and Metallic dragons can be found among the dragons.
The dragons, who have been practicing in the deep sea for several years, have returned to the core of Black Wing Lair after a long absence.
---
Sky.
In one corner of the dragon flock, two black dragonesses flew side by side..
They were none other than the Black Dragon's younger sisters, Emilia and Hannah.
Over the years, they have changed dramatically.
Empowered by the Void Overeat skill and tempered by countless battles, their dragon bodies had reached the standard of adult black dragons—eighteen meters in length.
Of course, in terms of rank, the two of them have not yet broken through to the 15th Order, and are still at the 13th Order.
Is it slow?
Compared with the Black Dragon Lord, it is naturally much slower.
But they were only twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
Normal black dragons at their age would only have a biological order of seven or eight.
Not to mention it's been hardly ten years since they took the void blood.
Compared with the growth trajectory of ordinary black dragons, their growth rate is particularly terrifying.
However, among the hundreds of dragons, the two huge black dragonsesses with a biological order of thirteen and a body size of eighteen meters did not stand out at all in terms of strength and size.
The weakest dragons are still the true dragons, which are only five or six meters in size and only fifth order in strength. They have just entered the threshold of the intermediate order. The nature of those true dragons was difficult to control at first, and they had never obtained the power of the void. Later, during the experience in the sea, they experienced life and death again and again, coupled with the increasing strength of other dragon beasts, they were completely stimulated, and then they controlled their nature, and then signed an unequal contract with the Black Wing Lair, and finally, belatedly, they finally obtained the power of the void that they had dreamed of.
However, because the time for obtaining the power of the void was too short, their strength was still very weak, and there was not much of a gap between them and ordinary true dragons.
The leader among the dragons is the golden dragon with the strongest strength and the most exaggerated size—'Gonzalo.'
The thirty-meter strong dragon body with gleaming gold scales would definitely be considered by many creatures to be a gold dragon that is hundreds of years old if placed outside.
But in reality?
Well, most of Gonzalo's group of dragon beasts are actually quite old. Before they became wise, they had lived on overseas islands for at least a few decades, and at most for hundreds of years.
"I'm finally home... Dragon Gods, how I've missed this place. The familiar stonework, the hulking muscle bound warriors, the stunning women, and above all—Castle Black, etched into the dragon's memory. But what I missed most... is the Supreme Aura that radiates from Father knowing as long as that presence exists, nothing in this world could ever dare harm us." Gonzalo couldn't help but sigh.
"Me too. I miss my father. He's so gentle," said Parvati, the silver dragon, with sorrow.
But in touching scenes, bad seeds inevitably appear.
Azrik, the blue dragon, muttered at the side,
"Obviously, our father has never even seen you."
"Sizzling, your words have hurt a beautiful and elegant lady," The silver dragon Parvati looked back and glared at the blue dragon.
Sizzling Dragon is the nickname of the blue dragon Azrik, which comes from the sound of lightning sizzling and jumping on its dragon body.
"Why are we fighting? We're siblings who love one another,"
The gold dragon Isis squeezed the huge dragon head between the silver dragon Parvati and the blue dragon Azrik, and began to break up the fight.
"There are no winners in arguments. My suggestion? A duel."
"By the way, I'm betting a hundred dragon coins on Azrik."
Seeing that these guys were starting to make trouble again, Gonzalo slapped Azrik and scolded,
"We have to fight later. We have just come back. What should we do if our father sees us?"
The black and colorful dragons flew through the Monster City, and under the eyes of countless Black Wing family members, they flew towards the high-altitude Castle Black.
Castle Black has been continuously expanded, and now the height of the main building has reached three thousand meters, and the combined area of all buildings, squares, and dragon ponds exceeds five thousand square kilometers.
There are more than 10,000 dragonborn maids and more than 100,000 dragonborn guards living there.
There are tens of thousands of domesticated monsters and powerful beasts. For example, there are thousands of the Red Eagle Knights' mounts, the high-level monster Red Magic Eagle.
If the Monster City is the free and unorganized gathering place of Black Wing Lair, where Black Wing clans from dark forests, wastelands, and sea islands gather, and various professions and industries have developed quite prosperous and lively,
Then, Castle Black is the core of Black Wing Lair: solemn, disciplined, and powerful.
More than 70% of the elite forces of Black Wing Lair are gathered here.
In Castle Black, high-order monsters and dependents can be seen everywhere, and master-order experts can also be seen from time to time, which is not rare.
The dragons flew over Castle Black Square, and a group of one hundred Red Devil Eagle Knights came to greet them.
"Welcome back, Your Highnesses. Please take a bath in the Dragon Pond first. Our great lord will be calling upon you shortly."
The captain of the Red Devil Eagle Knights, who had a strong aura and had reached the 15th Order, rode a top-level Red Devil Eagle with a wingspan of more than 20 meters to the front of Gonzalo and the other dragons, and spoke respectfully.
Except for a very small number of true dragons, all the dragon beasts in the dragon group are addressed as 'Your Highness' in the Black Wing Lair, and their status is ranked at the third level within the Black Wing Lair.
