Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 679 - 067: Taking Over the Rule

The Dragon Nest Legion marched forward with an unbelievable speed, breaking through all obstacles in front of them, whether they were from the great noble lords or powerful local military figures,

everything in their path was easily torn apart like paper in the face of this overwhelming iron torrent.

Even renowned Gold Level noble families and powerful local figures, those strong enough to rival the King, could not withstand the assault of the Dragon Nest Legion.

During this process, even Half-Legendary strongmen appeared.

However, the agents of the Blue Dragon Kingdom had long locked onto the movements of these people, deploying Legendary or Half-Legendary figures to follow and suppress them with ease.

Ancient, entrenched great noble families were destroyed, powerful military forces were uprooted, and all those high-ranking noble lords were successively overwhelmed and obliterated by the Dragon Nest Legion.

Wherever their army struck, it was unstoppable.

Chaos!

Great chaos!

The city defense systems of one city after another were destroyed by sudden attacks, terrifying artillery fire tearing apart the proud defense systems, the armies annihilated, and the noble lords either captured or slain.

Frandy and two other duchies, from south to north,

on their way, were engulfed in flames of war.

Thick black smoke rose high into the sky, covering half of it, visible even from distant places.

This was the aftermath of the artillery missile sieges.

Once luxurious manors, castles, and important city buildings of the duchies all collapsed into ruins, sending up billowing smoke, illuminating the surroundings.

A large number of city residents fled, small citizens scurried on the chaotic streets, Adventurers, mercenaries, merchants... accompanied the passage of the Dragon Nest Legion, the ruling classes wielding power being purged, leaving vast areas in a state of anarchy.

The Dragon Nest Legion, with its mighty force, directly annihilated the great noble lords extensively.

Chaos reigned everywhere.

In the countryside,

those peasants, exploited, emaciated, and walking around numbly, looked with vacant eyes at the grand castles of the noblemen rising with smoke, a sliver of hope emerging in their long-oppressed dull eyes.

Those wolf-like watchdogs, farm officials, and the noble lords' lackeys wished they could bury their heads in the ground like ostriches, pretending not to see anything.

The scenes of the colossal, terrifying iron torrent that had previously swept past, destroying the gold-and-blue aristocratic manors like firewood, had already terrified them to the core.

Smoke and chaos spread everywhere.

After breaking through one major city after another, the Dragon Nest Legion did not stop but quickly advanced northward, sweeping away any military resistance.

Without the suppression of the ruling class, the Dragon Nest Legion left behind only smoking ruins.

Chaos was inevitable.

However, this chaos did not last long.

Because as the steel-armored army of the Blue Dragon Kingdom passed through,

behind them followed a large number of militia led by retired officers, and numerous grassroots officials trained and appointed through civil service exams,

these officials, speedily trained in a year through various methods, took over the regions swept by the Dragon Nest Legion, where the major noble lords' powers were destroyed.

As the Dragon Nest Legion swiftly moved north,

large amounts of militia entered the over half-destroyed cities,

expedited grassroots officials formed administrative bodies under superior guidance, taking over the mess left behind by the departing Dragon Nest Legion.

They organized city residents, collected grain from merchants, and the well-disciplined militia patrolled the city streets, capturing all the saboteurs and rounding up the fleeing soldiers of the enemy.

The chaos in the market was quickly suppressed with the arrival of the Blue Dragon Kingdom's regime.

Orders flew out from the hastily established City Lord's Mansion, and the city entered a state of wartime control, organizing civilians, street vendors, Low Tier Adventurers, and Adventurers, into restoration work for the city.

Through unified labor, they dealt with the collapsed ruins and rebuilt residential buildings in exchange for food supplies.

Under the strong suppression of power, these cities quickly restored peace.

However, due to the war,

it would take at least six months for these cities seized by the Blue Dragon Kingdom to lift the wartime regime.

Yet in a few days, under the strong suppression of the Blue Dragon Kingdom's militia, the previously chaotic and restless populace finally calmed down slowly.

Even though they were filled with unfamiliarity and curiosity about this new rule above their heads, most of the city's populace had accepted this fact.

In reality,

in this temporary wartime system, apart from some relatively well-off families feeling something, the vast bottom populace of the city, the people in the slums who only managed to get some black bread mixed with wood chips through tiring daily labor, were relatively accepting of this novel wartime system.

Because,

even though they were forcibly concentrated, forced to massively clean personal hygiene, and forced to labor, these were somewhat liked,

but the food distributed by the Blue Dragon Kingdom Government was without any skimming!

Adequate black bread without any wood chips,

not only for the working adults, even if you are a child or an elderly person with slow feet, you could receive enough black bread to fill your belly.

This was charity that even the noble lords of the central area would not do.

God knows how long it's been since the vast population living under the city's shadow had a full meal; those lonely children and elders in the slums were merely skin and bones.

But under the wartime regime of the Blue Dragon Kingdom, these bottom-tier people could eat their fill at every meal!

In such a medieval feudal city, the more prosperous the city, the greater the shadows it cast.

At first glance, people would see the glorious City Lord's Mansion,

yet in terms of population, the luxurious nobles were never the majority of the city.

Out of ten people, perhaps only one could stand at the top of the city's class pyramid, while the remaining nine struggled around the subsistence line, with more people being destitute.

Against this backdrop,

the Blue Dragon Kingdom brought food and clothing to the overwhelming majority of the common people, and many families even hoped that this life could last forever.
