Red dragon: in charge of natural disasters

The residents of Boreas Castle will never forget that morning.

The "Purgatory Scourge" Cassius stepped on the city wall that had gone through hundreds of years of vicissitudes, and his huge wings blocked the sun.

The red dragon looked down at the 30,000 city citizens gathered here, announcing to them the establishment of the Kingdom of Burning Ember, and also announcing the demise of the country where their ancestors had lived for generations.

"Who is in favor? Who is against?"

The hobgoblins' spears flashed with cold light.

There is no room for negotiation, this is just a cold notice.

Thus, the era of dragon rule began.

At first, people were terrified and kept their doors closed, fearing that these monsters would do something harmful, just like what was said in the "Song of Burning Embers", they would insult and then devour your wife and daughter, and burn down your house.

But things did not develop as many people feared and as the nobles outside Beifong Castle expected.

Duke Brad Luckman's crimes were announced, and the evidence in the bunker was conclusive. During the two hundred years of his rule, thousands of people were tortured to death, and countless disappearances were caused by him.

"This is complete slander!"

"They want to destroy our history!"

The residents were in an uproar, and their subconscious reaction was to suspect that this was a slander from the Ember Kingdom.

But as more and more evidence surfaced, piles of bones and bloody corpses beneath Luckman Castle emerged. No matter how stubborn the people in the city were and how much they hated the red dragon, they had to admit that the Duke they once respected was indeed an evil and tyrannical existence.

Only the nobles of the North are still stubborn, thinking that this is deliberately forged evidence by the Kingdom of Burning Ember, and even think that the Red Dragon brutally killed these people - even though the Kingdom of Burning Ember took over North Wind Castle only a few days ago.

What follows is panic and fear.

After the Ember Kingdom took over, the orderly tieflings have become the main force of the North Wind Castle defense army, and many of the residents in the city have had tiefling blood on their hands.

Judgment did come, and the tieflings arrested all the nobles who knew the truth and still assisted in the crime, tried them in the forum, and cut off dozens of fresh heads.

That day, the square was stained red with blood.

But for ordinary residents who are unaware, although some of them still harbor hatred and wait for revenge, there are no tieflings to take the next step.

Different from the image he has always shown to the outside world, Metrorash is not an extreme avenger. He is just a pragmatist who hopes that his tribe will continue and will do whatever it takes to do so.

Therefore, during the war years when he was living on the high slopes of the storm, he promoted many hawks who supported revenge, in order to maintain the ethnic force and ensure the ability to resist external forces. But after truly regaining the North Wind Castle, he chose to win over the doves who were originally unpopular among the ethnic group and advocated harmonious coexistence with humans, in order to check and balance those hawks.

Metrorash stood on the city wall, overlooking the Boreas Castle that had resumed operation.

The streets were bustling with people, tieflings and even hobgoblins. Although it was impossible for humans and tieflings to get along harmoniously, at least they would not be mortal enemies of each other, or even engage in genocide.

"Lerissa, you should have understood this."

"war."

"Only war can bring peace."

Metrorash watched all this and muttered to himself.

Those beautiful blue, lake-like eyes seemed to appear in front of him again, their eyes full of innocence and kindness.

He often regretted this and felt that his conscience was condemned, but he did not regret it because it was a rational choice at the time.

Only reason can save the race.

Metrorash never allowed inconsequential emotions to rule him. He also knew very well that if he really carried out cruel revenge on humans as the hawks expected, then the tiefling tribe would have no place in the Ember Kingdom.

The autocratic red dragon does not allow any group to disrupt his order - even the tieflings who have gradually grown into an important pillar of the kingdom.

…

“Fresh raw meat!”

"Plus size leather pants, special for hobgoblins!"

“For sale of the former Rachman Principality’s standard silver sword!”

The streets that had been silent for a long time due to the war finally returned to some liveliness, although it was far from what it was before.

For the tens of thousands of residents of North Wind Castle, no matter who the ruler above is, whether it is a vampire or a red dragon, people always have to look forward, and their lives always have to go on.

They were surprised to find that these dragon-veined monsters were not as cruel and terrifying as they imagined - at least not after they divided up the large amounts of wine, meat, and treasures hidden by the nobles to satisfy their greed.

But what the future holds is hard to say.

"Theft is prohibited in the city."

"Private fighting is prohibited in the city."

"Whoever kills someone in the city shall be punished by death."

Cassius temporarily resides in the meeting hall, issuing short "dictatorship laws" one after another.

Although for ordinary people as indigenous people, he cannot do the same "violation will result in death" as for players. He can only subtly let them follow it subconsciously, but this is enough.

Under Cassius's dictatorial rules, the dragon-veined monsters in the city temporarily suppressed the cruelty and violence buried deep in their blood. They did not make too many extraordinary moves, but instead caused a lot of farce:

For example, an ogre named "Big Head" ate up all the inventory in the tavern and ran away because he had no money to pay the bill. He was finally captured by the security team and sentenced to three years of working in the store without providing room and board.

People were even more surprised to find that due to the strict searches of the "Ember Claw" security team and the "Nocturne" troops, the evil forces that originally existed in the power vacuum and colluded with the nobles disappeared, such as the "Nine Fingers Union" and "The Devil's Gang" After the secret group was eliminated, the security in Beifeng Castle actually improved a lot.

The formerly arrogant nobles have now fallen into the mortal world under the new system of the Burning Ember Kingdom. They no longer have the opportunity to bully ordinary people, and even face trial. Slaves who had been oppressed were freed, and even a little boy was rescued from the basement.

Players are also rushing into the city to seize the opportunity. The players of the [Mechanicum] guild built a magical steam engine and began to build a large mechanized factory. [Magic Coin] Guilds use spells to provide services to residents and earn gold coins, allowing spellcasters who were once unattainable and rare to come closer to residents' lives. The [Kingdom] Guild boldly bought a hall and declared that it would accept all employment tasks.

Some people believe that these are all disguises made by the Ember Kingdom to win over people's hearts. They are secretly planning to contact the outside world to resist the tyranny of the empire. But some people have gradually become accustomed to this kind of life and abandoned the past traditions...
