The gauntlet, shimring with alchemy secret patterns, clenched, and the skull that had just been pulled from the body, still attached to a segnt of the spine, was crushed instantly, scattering like shattered fruit all over the ground.
Strands of crimson rose and gathered into a blood mist in mid-air, untouched by the wind—this was a battlefield littered with corpses, or rather, a slaughterhouse, filled with bodies crushed by absolute force, flesh and bone debris covering the ground.
"These barbarians are becoming more active lately."
A tall figure clad in magic-guided kinetic energy armor walked across the now silent battlefield, inspecting corpses for any survivors. The Dragon-n Battle Group moved like living tal mountains, exuding an aura of inviolable intimidation.
It seed like there was no power on earth that could halt their advance; any creature foolish enough to try was rcilessly crushed. Such was indeed the case.
"Because our flagship, Dragon Lion's Tooth, was deployed elsewhere, these presumptuous barbarians think they can challenge us."
The magma heavy sword fell, piercing through an alien race mber hiding under the soil, along with all their cover.
"They're testing us!"
"Just kill them all."
"We've been too lenient with these barbarians."
Just three Dragon-n from the battle group quickly decimated an indigenous resistance gathering point; in fact, those outposts popped up only recently.
Since Dragon Lion's Tooth Floating City complied with the Holy Dragon Emperor's decree to leave, the once subdued natives beca active, continuously harassing cities guarded by Dragon-n, testing their defenses, attempting to reclaim their dominance over the world.
Faced with such probing, the Dragon-man Battle Group Dragon Lion's Tooth left behind showed no rcy, massacring everything with the most iron-blooded brutality.
Regardless of gender or age, they needed no solid evidence, only suspicion, a relevant clue, and the Dragon-n would bring the sword down on any creature in that region that posed a threat to the Golden Order.
Such cruelty was justified because before the legion arrived, the world was dominated by the snake-n, whose life form was only half-human.
According to the tallic Dragon Race's definition of a wisdom race, these snake-n could be classified as monsters, even if they had developed civilization with their own language, customs, and writing.
However, none of this mattered; the Dragon-n did not accept these native snake-n and were wary of them. According to visiting scholars accompanying the army, based on investigations of ancient local ruins,
it was confird that this world was once ruled by the Sitra Snake-man Empire long ago. For so unknown reason, they abandoned their rule, and the remaining snake-n still held dominance and ford their own order.
Because of such a background, the Dragon-man Battle Group Dragon Lion's Tooth, tasked with conquering the land, took a strategy of massacre and suppression, allowing only the most exceptional snake-n to enter Dragon Transformation City and receive blessings from the Holy Dragon Emperor.
The Dragon Transformation Tower was the main thod for the battle group to conquer worlds, especially worlds without special racial bloodlines. The Dragon King's bloodline legacy was akin to a massacre.
Once the Dragon Transformation Tower was established, it could fully integrate the Dragon-n Battle Group without local roots into rule and power centered on bloodlines, making rebellion virtually impossible.
However, this was just one thod of conquest, not mainstream; so worlds were unsuitable, such as the lost territory of the Snake-man Empire before them.
No one knew whether those seemingly ordinary snake-n harbored bloodlines from the Great Snake, and accepting such snake-n might yield risks and rewards out of proportion.
The blessings bestowed by the Dragon Transformation Tower could not possibly cover the legacies from the Great Snake; the Dragon-n might be fervent but not foolish.
But it was precisely because the Dragon-n were reluctant to offer the local snake-n too many avenues for advancent, coupled with such a brutal and oppressive governing style, that rebellions beca frequent.
Especially after the Floating City affiliated with Dragon Lion's Tooth Battle Group left, the rebellion frequency in this world surged exponentially. The Dragon-n left had great individual combat capabilities, but pacifying a world was indeed exhausting, leaving them constantly on the move, unable to rest.
"What do you an missing!?"
An unmistakably angry voice rang out.
"We've lost the life signals of three elite warriors!"
A particularly calm voice, devoid of any emotion, resonated in the Governor Mansion,
"According to the information sent back before they disappeared, they had completed their mission and were preparing to return."
"How many warriors remain to undertake missions?"
"Including those on leave who can be recalled at any ti, we currently have 318 warriors ready to respond to your commands."
"Only three hundred? That's too few."
Listening to the alchemy matrix spiritual body's report, the governor, who oversaw all colonial world affairs, frowned deeply.
With the Holy Dragon Emperor's current domain in the Void, the world under his jurisdiction now was undoubtedly a frontier world.
