Chapter 839: Chapter 0836: Fla King City (First Update)
Endless Volcano Cluster, this was the na Liszt gave to this chain of nine active volcanoes, the largest of which he nad Doomsday Volcano.
He always felt that if this volcano were to erupt, its power might be enough to shatter the heavens and earth.
Therefore, when calling for Leo, he specifically instructed him to fiercely harness the Volcanic Super Magic, and strive to eliminate the possibility of an eruption.
After much difficulty finding such a suitable island to establish a kingdom, he certainly didn’t want it to be destroyed by a volcanic eruption.
“This Endless Volcano Cluster is the perfect Dragon Nest for Leo, the next step would be to find a suitable place to establish a Dragon Nest for Ethan,” Liszt mused while standing above the crater of Doomsday Volcano.
The Light Green Gemstone Dragon is a gemstone-producing dragon, needing a Dragon Nest built as soon as possible for gemstone mining.
...
As for the Formless Dragon Bard, he doesn’t require a fixed Dragon Nest, having more similar features like the Great Whirlpool’s Magic Teleportation Array would probably make him comfortable.
“Let’s go, Bard, let’s continue our patrol around Fla Island!” Calling Bard, the man and dragon resud their journey.
Northwest Fla Island, apart from the Endless Volcano Cluster, also had many undulating mountain ranges, predominantly high mountains, but also many suitable residential valleys and basins. Overall, the northwest part of Fla Island is uneven and mountainous, the central part is dry with lots of plains, and the southeast part is moist with many rivers.
Judging purely by the terrain, the whole island of Fla Island is essentially suitable for cultivation, without too harsh or barren land.
Thus spent the entire month of September, and the ti directly jumped to October of Sapphire Calendar Year 154, with the terrain map of Fla Island finally completed.
With the map for reference, he roughly had an overall plan for how to develop Fla Island.
And for the capital’s location, he leaned towards two places.
One was the central plains, geographically located at the very heart of Fla Island, accessible in all directions, and adjacent to a vast lake, thus ensuring no shortage of water. However, the open plains had no geographical barriers, making it easy to attack but difficult to defend, leaving the capital at risk of threat at all tis.
Another was a mountain chain right next to Whirlpool Mountain in the southeastern part, where the capital could be built in a valley at the foot of the mountain. Hydrography and geography were superior, and simply blocking the exits on both sides of the valley could prevent any number of knights from charging in. The palace could also be built on the mountain, complenting the capital from its vantage point.
“Actually, having dragons makes it unnecessary to have rugged terrains for defense, the benefits of building the capital on the plains are obvious… Alas, I temporarily lack the energy to develop the plains, I should first build the capital in this valley, not far from the Great Whirlpool, convenient for developnt.”
After comparing in his mind, he decided on the location for the capital, and subsequently nad this mountain range Fla Mountain, and the valley Fla Valley.
The future capital was temporarily nad Fla King City.
The Fla Family takes pride in the Fire Dragon, so this naming was rather appropriate, though the na was provisional. Since Liszt already possessed three dragons, it was uncertain how many more dragons he might have in the future. Since he dared to establish a kingdom directly, he was not afraid of other dragons being revealed, by then which dragon would be chosen for naming.
Hard to say.
Rolling up the map, Liszt and Bard walked along the material boundary, quickly flying towards Whirlpool Mountain. In this continuous period of terrain surveying, his coordination with the Formless Dragon beca more and more adept, not only achieving a complete harmony of minds.
He also created three moves for the *Formless Dragon Knight – Dragon Dou Qi Secret Manual*, which included Left-Right Drag – “Phantom”; Focus on Lifting the Dragon Lance Tip – “Shadow”; and Point-Leading Area – “Avalanche – Snow Mountain”.
Phantom-Drag, Shadow-Lift, Avalanche-Break, these three powerful Combat Skills all were primarily assassination techniques, fitting his positioning for the Formless Dragon.
The Formless Dragon only had a wingspan of fifteen ters, and even as adults, their wingspan only reached twenty ters. In face-to-face combat, aside from their dragon breath which had the ability to disrupt material space, they had no advantages in other areas. Hence, Formless Dragon Knights should adopt the assassin model, suddenly striking from the material boundary to deliver a maximum blow.
Only elental dragons as tough-skinned and thick-fleshed as Little Fire Dragon Leo, who was larger in his youth than other dragons in their adulthood, were suitable for frontal combat.
Unfortunately, his proficiency hadn’t increased much recently. The “Fire Dragon Knight-Dragon Qi Secret Manual” still only had Dragon Slash-Chop, Sky Burning-Sweep, Swallow Sun-Stab, Sea-Boiling-Strangle, and Earth-Shaking-Hamr — just these five moves.
As for the Light Green Gem Dragon Ethan and its coordinating”Light Green Gemstone Dragon Knight – Dragon Fighting Qi Manuscript”, studied by generations of Dragon Knights, it had Moonlight, Green Shadow, Thunder, Spiral, Rock Break, Forest, and Phantom — seven moves. Liszt had only practiced briefly with Ethan and hadn’t made any improvents.
Ethan wasn’t even planned by Liszt to be a combat-type dragon.
“It’s a sha I only have one. How to allocate ti to three dragons is a troubleso matter to handle,” he often complained when he had a few dragons, and now he also found it troubleso with many.
Looking at the crystal white spatial structure in his view, he sighed silently, “There’s no such thing as perfection!”
In harmony with his thoughts, the Formless Dragon, sensing his true feelings, issued a sound that could be either agreent or mockery: “Wuu yi ya!”
…
Returning to Fla Origin once again, the area had undergone completely different changes from a month ago.
The entire Fla Origin no longer had a single tree; all had been cut down and cleared to make flat ground. Mage Tower, windmill, irrigation waterwheel, and the city water tower stood out consecutively, and a gravel road paved from east to west through Fla Origin, leading directly to the forest in the distance that had not yet been cut down.
Carriages raced on the road, transporting loads of timber, wild animals, and fruits back to Fla Town.
And Fla Town itself had completely changed its appearance, with neat stone buildings lining both sides of the cross-shaped streets, and the smooth stone pavents bustling with activity. On the edges of the small town, stand-alone tall wooden houses had sprung up — these were temporary residences for the increasing number of Knights and serfs.
The town was evolving into a small city.
Further upstream on the Whirlpool River, architects were busy directing craftsn to dig foundations. Here, a well-nad castle was soon to be built as Liszt’s palace. As the owner of the Fla Islands and the future king, his personal life and accommodations were more central than developing Fla Island.
Countless timber and stones were piled up to one side.
The timber was locally sourced and inexhaustible, while most of the stone ca from the Blizzard Beast Squad, with a small part coming from the expansion of the Whirlpool River.
With sufficient water upstream of Whirlpool Mountain, just widening the river channel would allow small sailboats to navigate directly through the Fla Town section of the river. Only by navigating sailboats could there be rapid connectivity with the residential areas in the middle and lower reaches of Whirlpool River. At this mont, nurous yellow-black-skinned serfs were hard at work digging the river channel.
They were all natives of the Moon Slayer Tribe, captured by the Knight Order, and trained as serfs to work here.
“Your Highness, due to the resistance of the Moon Slayer Tribe, although there were few knight casualties in the capture operation, many natives were killed for resisting, wastefully losing labor,” reported Durt Red Apricot, the chief in charge of capturing slaves, who had imdiately rushed to report, “But after the natives adapted to serf life, they rarely escaped, so I wonder if we should change our thod of capturing slaves.”
“Let’s hear your thoughts,” Liszt said, reclining in his rocking chair, enjoying as maidens gently massaged his shoulders, leisurely drinking freshly brewed Banpo cattle milk.
The last ti he had shipped fra ships, he had specifically transferred a batch of male and female servants from Thorn Castle to Fla Town. Thomas, leading the male servants, was assigned by him to supervise and construct the castle, while this group of young female servants led by Little Lily stayed in the temporary villa in Fla Town to tend to Liszt’s daily needs.
Life indeed required struggle, but enjoynt must not be interrupted.
