The division of 1348 by 4 equals 337. In other words, the 337th attack by the Black Dragon on human cities since the Chronicle of Fengmo Continent began is about to occur.
Robb had almost no concept of this in his mind, so he was caught off guard in 1348. Elsie was busy licking Robbs boots so his thoughts followed him, forgetting about ti. But after Kante reminded them, they both understood.
Elsie exclaid, "Oh, it's only a few months until the year of the Black Dragons Flight. No wonder you are moving your wealth. I saw Motra moving valuable things outside too!"
Kante was a little embarrassed and said, "Godfather, it's not that our family is afraid of death. When the Black Dragons Flight really cos, as long as you call for battle, our family will fight to the death. However, keeping these valuables in Westwind Holy City is not really necessary. They cannot help us defend against the enemy, but instead may attract the Black Dragons attention instead. That's why Uncle asked to move as much wealth out of the city as possible, hide it in the countryside, and as long as there are not many treasures left in Westwind Holy City, the Black Dragon will not co here."
Robb laughed and cried, not knowing what to say at this point.
Elsie turned and called out to one of his subordinates waiting outside the courtyard, "Go and call Motra."
Soon, Motra arrived and saw the Chengguang family's caravan parked at the gate of Robb's courtyard, with Kante still talking here. He imdiately guessed what had happened, and after talking to Kante for a few monts, he explained, "Godfather, my family's idea is the sa as the Chengguang family. As we all know, the Black Dragon likes gold, silver, jewelry, magical artifacts, and other treasures. If there are too many of these things in Westwind Holy City, the Black Dragon may attack us. So, I moved all my valuable things out to minimize the possibility of a Black Dragon attack. You can rest assured that I, Motra, am not a coward. I will only send away my property, but I will stay here to prepare for the attack by the Black Dragon."
Robb frowned and asked, "Did you do this every ti the Black Dragon flew in the past?"
Kante was a little embarrassed and said, "Our Chengguang family didn't do it before. You also know that we were just a small border noble family before, living in a dilapidated manor next to Crystal Canyon. At that ti, even my uncle hesitated for a while before buying sothing worth 100 gold coins, how could we have had so much wealth to fear the Black Dragon? It was thanks to your cultivation that my family has the wealth it has now..."
Motra also said, "My family used to live in the desert kingdom. I'm not bragging, but the desert kingdom has never been attacked by the Black Dragon in the 1348-year history of Fengmo Continent, so I never moved anything before."
Robb pointed at Motra and laughed, "You idiot, is that sothing to be proud of? It just shows that the desert kingdom is poorer than anywhere else."
In fact, the nobles of the desert kingdom were not poor, as it was rich in gold mines. Motra was wearing gold rings all over his body when he first appeared. However, the people of this kingdom were poor, and their cities were desolate, with no signs of prosperity.
As the two were talking, they suddenly saw Marian running towards them from outside and said quickly to Robb, "Godfather, I have sothing to tell you."
"Oh?" Robb had already guessed what it was.
Sure enough, Marian blushed slightly and said, "My family plans to move all its assets stored in the Holy City out of the city and hide them in a small town. They will be moved back in 1349. I'm afraid you will misunderstand, so I ca to tell you first... it's not that we want to run away, it's just to reduce... huh? You guys here too?" When she finished speaking, she realized that Kante and Motra were also present. It seed that they had the sa plan as her.
Robb shrugged, "Okay, who else?"
Just as he finished speaking, the sewer cover opened, and the dwarf leader popped out from it. Kante, Motra, and Marian all awkwardly said, "Is it your turn now?"
The dwarf leader looked confused, "What ? What are you talking about? I ca to find the grandmaster blacksmith. I have sothing important to say. Don't interrupt."
He quickly ran over from the sewer, anxiously saying, "Grandmaster, the year of the black dragon's flight is only a few months away. I think that black dragon is an ancient dragon with high intelligence. It may discover that our steam engine is the most powerful treasure in the world and may co to steal it. I'm thinking, should we move all the steam engines out of the city and hide them sowhere?"
Elsie, Kante, Motra, and Marian all exclaid together, "No way! You dont understand anything."
Just as they finished scolding the dwarf leader, an elf old man ran down from the hillside next to them. He shouted anxiously as he ran, "Great Druid, the year of the black dragon's flight is coming soon. Let's move the paper mill and printing plant away. These are literary and artistic treasures. The black dragon loves to steal treasures. What if it cos to steal our literature..."
Everyone rolled their eyes together, "..."
Robb frowned unhappily, "It's just a black dragon. Look how scared you all are? You're all a bunch of useless people. If the black dragon cos, I'll kill it! You all go and do what you need to do."
"But you can't think like that." Everyone dissuaded together, "Although you are very powerful, only the black dragon... only the black dragon is absolutely untouchable."
"Yes, 16 years ago, the Kingdom of Gran used all its strength, and the king and queen personally took action, but they were defeated in an instant."
"28 years ago, Richard, the Lionheart King of the Kingdom of Norma, was so powerful that he was terrifying to most, but he fought against the black dragon and fell at the first blow."
"164 years ago, a brave man led his team to battle against the Black Dragon, but they couldn't last a single round."
"..."
As everyone discussed the history of the continent, Robb didn't pay attention at first, but then found it quite amazing. It turned out that humans on Fengmo Continent had been desperately resisting the Black Dragon for over a thousand years, and various heroes and powerful warriors had devoted themselves to the fight against the Black Dragon.
However...
The ending was so regrettable that no matter how powerful they were, they couldn't even withstand a single attack from the Black Dragon.
The overwhelming power gap made it impossible for humans to see any chance of winning.
Even with Robb's insane combat power, no one around him believed that he could defeat the Black Dragon.
Even the number one bootlicker, Elsie, spoke solemnly, "Godfather, we don't need to confront the Black Dragon. It's just a temporary refuge once every four years. A real man can bend and stretch, it's no big deal. Why don't you give the order for everyone in the city to move their belongings to the countryside, take down all the street lights, hide their gold. We have a few months to evacuate the city. That way, the Black Dragon won't co."
