A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 793: Chapter 440: Population Migration, Two Lords_2

”Quite the opposite...”

The Golden Feathered Griffin’s voice carried a hint of suppressed anger, ”Our feathers, our claws, our beaks... even our bones and blood are considered prime magic media and alchemy materials by humans!”

”From time to time, adventurer’s groups, and even armies, come to hunt us down.”

”I am wary of the power of the legendary, unable to freely eliminate those who seek us out, and can only watch helplessly as my kin are continually harvested.”

”They even stoop so low as to seek out and seize our unhatched eggs, taking them back to be tamed and enslaved, thereby crafting the Griffin Knights they so proudly boast about!”

”......”

After listening to the Golden Feathered Griffin’s tale filled with anger and humiliation, Solrog understood the reason for their entire clan’s migration.

In short, this highly intelligent Golden Feathered Griffin did not wish to continue being an oppressed lord in the Human Realm. Upon hearing about the Wilderness Kingdom established by the Dragons, after some hesitation, it finally resolved to seek refuge there.

The only question that now needed consideration was:

Accepting this group of griffins would likely cause dissatisfaction from the Theo Kingdom and could potentially become a trigger for diplomatic friction.

But so what?

The geographical locations of Ola Kingdom and Theo Kingdom were close, and there were old grudges between them. Both sides respectively aligned themselves with the powerful kingdoms of Lothern and Ripos, which were antagonistic to each other.

They were inherently, even fated, to be in opposition.

One more incident wouldn’t change the overall picture.

Having understood this, Iron Dragon Solrog nodded slightly, a smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.

”Ola Kingdom welcomes your choice and arrival.”

He said in a deep voice, ”Here, as long as you abide by the kingdom’s laws and fulfill your obligations, you will gain hunting grounds and the freedom to soar the skies that are far broader than before.”

”This is the promise of the Dragons to you.”

Hearing this, the tense nerves of the Griffin leader finally relaxed.

It fully folded its wings to the sides of its body and bowed its head deeply towards the Iron Dragon.

”Thank you for your acceptance.”

”From this day forth, our claws and beaks will fight for Ola Kingdom’s lands, for the noble Dragon Race!”

Iron Dragon Solrog gently nodded in response.

Currently, Ola Kingdom has an abundance of undeveloped land but what it truly lacks is a sufficient number of wise citizens willing to adhere to order.

With the powerful strength and the size of the Golden Feathered Griffin’s tribe, Ola Kingdom would add another lord.

However, Iron Dragon Solrog would not immediately grant them the position of lord and authority.

At the very least, it was necessary for this Griffin tribe to build enough merit for the kingdom, fully prove their loyalty and ability, and be tested and examined before being entrusted with such a responsibility, which was the prudent approach.

And following the Golden Feathered Griffin tribe, various other races continued to come seeking asylum.

In addition to the commonly seen races such as the Jackal-Wolf Folk, Kobolds, and War Lizardfolk in the wilderness, there were rare species like Tree Demons, Shapechangers, and Tortoise-folk, and even some Sub-dragons with Dragon Blood drawn by the prestige of the Red Iron Dragon Emperor, traversing great distances to come.

As for Lord Level powerful creatures, the Golden Feathered Griffin was not the only one.

The Eight-headed Snake Leopard, a giant black panther with four serpents growing on each shoulder, came leading groups of Four-headed Snake Leopards and Six-headed Snake Leopards.

Likewise, they also hailed from the territory of the Theo Kingdom, relatively close to Ola Kingdom.

This Eight-headed Snake Leopard leader’s life level reached level twenty, the same level as the Golden Feathered Griffin.

As time passed day by day, more humans also came seeking refuge.

Freemen and serfs struggling to survive under the oppressive layers of old kingdom nobility and heavy taxes.

They heard through various channels that a nascent kingdom was rising in the wilderness, and as long as they swore allegiance and followed the laws, they would obtain land, ample food, and the dignity of intelligent beings, prompting them to embark with their families, disregarding the risks of the journey, crossing the border into this land of hope.

Some craftsmen, scholars, and low-tier mages who struggled to find opportunities within the rigid hierarchies of their native lands due to incongruent ideas and personalities.

They were attracted by the rapid development and talent scarcity in Ola Kingdom, hoping to realize their value and gain positions and resources unattainable in the rigid hierarchies of the old kingdom.

There were even exiles and mercenaries wanted in the Southern Countries for crimes.

They viewed this land, where laws were just established and order not fully solidified, as an ideal refuge or a new gold rush filled with opportunities.

......

In summary, for various reasons, a myriad of intelligent beings ultimately stepped into the territory of Ola Kingdom.

As a result, the registry officers in Red Flame Royal City and the emerging towns became exceptionally busy.

Verifying, registering, distributing, guiding... the kingdom was efficiently and continuously absorbing this fresh blood, integrating them into its rapidly growing body.

”Two Lord Level magical creatures? Hmm, I see. As for their placement, handle it flexibly depending on the situation.”

In the Dragon Ridge Mountain Range, the Red Iron Dragon had just completed an intense round of training, communicating and interacting with Iron Dragon Solrog through a psychic connection.

Galos was not surprised by the influx of a large new population.
