For black and green dragons, mountains without swamps, lakes, and rivers were no doubt annoying places. And for dragon descendants, the density of prey in the mountains was much lower than in the plains where rivers, lakes, and swamps were densely packed.
Therefore, the mountains in the south of the Amazon rainforest were the banished land of the dragon descendants.
A Green Dragon, and a high-level Green Dragon at that, was recruiting dragon descendants. For the Green Dragon Tribe in the mountains, it was undoubtedly a meteoric rise. That was why every Green Dragon Tribe that received the news rushed to the recruitment site with all their might.
It went without saying that this green dragon who was recruiting dragon descendants was Elsera.
Elsera told Feng Chou that there was a lack of food in the mountains, and the density of dragon descendants was small. If he didn't want to wait in one place for too long, the recruitment area couldn't be too big. Therefore, if he wanted to recruit the 3000 dragon descendants he wanted, he might have to go to a few more places.
Elsera's recruitment area was an area with a diameter of 300 kilometers. She circled the area for a few weeks and used a dragon's roar to send out the recruitment message. She also used a special magic light beam to mark the recruitment site.
The next step was to wait.
Seven days was the time Elsera planned to wait.
At the first recruitment site, they waited for a total of four green dragon tribes, with a total of less than 400 people. With the density of food in the mountains, the green dragon tribe's range of activity could only feed 100 people. If there were too many people in the tribe, they would definitely starve to death if they didn't split up.
Even in the plains where food was abundant, once a tribe had more than 500 people, hunting alone wouldn't be enough to feed the tribe. They had to graze.
After waiting for seven days at the recruitment site, Elsera ended the first recruitment and opened the portal to the green dragon island.
That's right, it was Elsera who opened the portal.
Although Feng Chou knew that dragons were intelligent creatures, he still treated these powerful creatures as fierce beasts that fought and lived by instinct. Elsera had taught him a lesson.
In fact, in the dragon society, there was no lack of dragons that were advanced mages, and there was no lack of advanced alchemists.
Although Elsera didn't have a mage level, she knew a green dragon alchemist. It was an ancient green dragon. Not only was it a level 21 dragon, but it was also a level 23 mage. At the same time, it was also a legendary alchemist master.
In the dragon society, business was very common. Elsera had a lot of magic items that she bought or stole. On the four dragon horns on her head, there were four dazzling golden hoops. These hoops were all advanced magic items, and one of them was the level 9 spell "Portal."
With the newly recruited green dragon descendants, they returned to the green dragon island.
After Feng Chou and Elsera settled the new dragon descendants, they also gave them their tasks.
The task Feng Feng Chou gave them was to clear the green dragon island.
The so-called cleaning of the plants on the island was first to use spells like "Decaying Plants" to clean up the harmful and useless plants on the island.
While clearing the harmful and useless plants, some mature magic trees and ordinary trees on the island were collected and stored.
Qiankun Pagoda would decide which plants were harmful or useless, and which mature trees could be collected. Qiankun Pagoda scattered hundreds of artificial birds and touched the whole forest. Every tree was marked. The green dragon descendants only needed to treat the trees according to the different marks.
After clearing the harmful and useless plants and collecting mature trees, some space in the forest would be cleared.
The green dragon descendants' next task was to use spells like "Living Tree" to compress the whole forest to the north and clear some of the land in the southwest part of the island that needed to be developed.
Using this method to clear thousands of square kilometers of forest, even if the green dragon descendants were proficient in nature spells, a tribe of merely 500 green dragons was far from enough.
As an extremely old green dragon, under normal circumstances, Elsala should be able to control a large dragon tribe alliance of four to five thousand people and a territory of tens of thousands of square kilometers. Only then would she be worthy of her status.
However, because the Green Dragon Island was limited in size, the number of green dragon descendants that could be raised was also limited. Elsala also didn't want to leave the gold mine area, so she maintained a small tribe of five hundred people.
In order to develop and guard this island, Feng Chou decided to help Elsala expand her dragon tribe to a normal level.
To a dragon, its strength lay not only in its own strength, but also in the number of dragonkin it controlled.
Elsala controlled too few dragon descendants, and living on the island for a long time made her lose her vigilance, so Feng Chou took advantage of this loophole.
Under normal circumstances, there would usually be hundreds of powerful dragon descendants patrolling the vicinity of an extremely old dragon's lair. There would be all kinds of magic sentries and traps everywhere. There would never be a situation where an enemy could trick all the guards away with a Group Suggestion Spell.
A small island of four to five thousand square kilometers couldn't support four to five thousand dragon descendants, but Feng Chou could.
Not to mention the large amount of food stored in Qiankun Pagoda, just on the surface, relying on the space ring in his hand and the teleportation spell, he could barely support so many dragon descendants.
In the future, when all the farmland planned by Qiankun Pagoda was developed, the balance of food on the island could be guaranteed.
At that time, Feng Chou would move humans to farm, fish, and provide food, while the dragon descendants and green dragons would provide protection for the island.
Feng Chou planned to temporarily rule this island in the name of the green dragon Elsala. As long as the gold mine near the island wasn't exposed, no one would dare to mess with such a remote island protected by an extremely old dragon.
In this way, he would have a safe haven to hide from the wind and rain and cultivate his power.
… …
Feng Chou and Elsala spent nearly three months together and recruited more than four thousand green dragon descendants from the Amazon forest. The number of green dragon descendants on the island had reached five thousand, among which nearly four thousand were above the age of adulthood.
The strength of the dragon descendants depended on the origin of their bloodline. For example, among the five colors of the dragon descendants, the red dragon descendants were the strongest. They would have the strength of level 11 once they reached adulthood, while the white dragon descendants were the weakest. They would only have the strength of level 5 or 6 once they reached adulthood.
The green dragon descendants were far inferior to the red dragon descendants, but they were still much stronger than the white dragon descendants. The green dragon descendants would have the strength of level 9 once they reached adulthood.
As they grew older, the power of the dragon descendants would gradually increase like that of the giant dragons. Among the green dragon descendants, those with good talent would eventually grow to level 15 and above.
In other words, Feng Chou had recruited a total of four thousand powerful warriors above level 9 who were part-time warlocks!
Such a force could almost flatten a duchy in the Northern Continent. However, if a giant dragon dared to do so, they would be skinned alive in a matter of minutes.
Not to mention the fearsome battlemages of Alvendell, just the dozen or so elite knights of the Sutton Empire would be able to flatten these four thousand dragon descendants in a matter of minutes.
'Decaying Plant' was only a level 3 nature spell. It could rapidly decay a large tree into a pile of rotten soil. Basically, all adult green dragon descendants knew this spell. With a few thousand dragon warlocks working together, it would only take half a month to clean up a few thousand square kilometers of plains.
In order to provide food for these four thousand dragon descendants, Feng Chou had no choice but to teleport to the mainland every few days to purchase food. In reality, the food was all provided by Qiankun Pagoda.
The Qiankun Pagoda was a small world of tens of thousands square kilometers. The island Feng Chou frequented was only a corner of the small world. On the other side of the sea, there was an even larger continent.
Qiankun Pagoda farmed and bred in the small world. With the ability to accelerate time, it was more than enough to feed a few thousand dragon descendants.
During the time he was recruiting the green dragon descendants, Feng Chou not only handed over the ten master-grade engineering constructs he bought to the wizard apprentices, he also secretly teleported back to Chapman Fort. Using the magic laboratory there and the materials he bought in Stormwind City, he continuously created a dozen or so new master-grade engineering constructs.
After Feng Chou took away the evil spirits and wraiths of Chapman Hill, the environment here was slowly improving. However, this was a relatively slow process. If no one took the initiative to check on Chapman Hill, it would be difficult to discover the changes here even after a few years.
Feng Chou was far faster at creating master-grade constructs than other alchemists. Most of the most tedious parts of the body construction could be done by Qiankun Pagoda. He only needed to complete the parts that required the participation of high-grade spells, such as the creation of spell circuits for Magic Permanence. Finally, the soul cleansing ritual and the soul insertion ritual also needed to be presided over by Feng Chou. However, the creation of magic circles and scrolls for the ritual could be handed over to Qiankun Pagoda.
After a dozen or so more master-grade engineering constructs were added to the construction site, each wizard apprentice was given one to operate.
In truth, the materials Feng Chou had purchased in Stormwind City were enough to make a dozen more master-grade constructs. However, he only had so many mages under him. No matter how many constructs he had, it would be a waste if there was no one to command them.
The constructs' intelligence was still too low. They could not complete complex tasks independently. This made Feng Chou even more hopeful that Qiankun Pagoda would be able to restore true artificial intelligence.
Unfortunately, according to Qiankun Pagoda, the World Laws it currently grasped were not enough to restore a top-grade technological product like artificial intelligence in this world.
Under the toil of the four thousand dragonkin, the forests on the island were quickly tidied up. The forests on the southwest side of the island where a town, dam, and farmland were planned to be built were either turned into fertilizer by the Green Dragonkin's Decaying Plants spell, or awakened by the Tree Men spell and driven to other places to take root. Everything was cleared out.
After the land was cleared, Feng Chou only left ten master-grade engineering constructs to continue building the breakwater. The other dozen master-grade constructs were placed on land to level the land and build simple roads.
After two months of work by twenty large-scale construction constructs, the bay had been cleared out. All the obstructing reefs were moved to the shore by the constructs, to be used as raw materials for the breakwater in the future.
Some of the reefs that were too large to be moved were also cut and separated by the mages using Stone to Mud.
These reefs were sent to the construction site by the shore. A few mages would use Stone to Mud to cut the reefs into giant bricks that weighed five to six tons each. They would then instruct the constructs to lay the bricks on the seabed to become the foundation of the breakwater.
The remaining irregular reefs would be thrown into large molds made of steel, mixed with mud, and made into giant bricks of the same size using Stone to Mud.
The trumpet-shaped bay was almost two kilometers wide. Even if all the reefs in the bay were used, only a one-kilometer long breakwater could be built.
After the reefs were used up, Feng Chou opened up a quarry at the foot of the mountain not far away.
This island was a bedrock island. The main body of the mountain was made of hard granite. As long as the layer of mud on the surface of the mountain was peeled off, the rock mountain below would be exposed.
The most advanced quarrying technology in this world did not use axes or explosives. Instead, it used Stone to Mud to cut and mine the mountain rocks.
A beginner mage could use a Stone to Mud scroll to cut out dozens of tons of stone. Moreover, according to the requirements, the stone could be cut into the required shape at once.
The mages used spells to cut the mountain rocks into stone bricks that weighed five to six tons. The construction constructs would then use a large metal cart to pull the stone bricks to the shore.
After the land of the town was leveled, a portion of the stone bricks were sent to the construction site.
After the construction of the island was on track, Feng Chou left once again. He left the map of the town and dam to the apprentices, as well as large amounts of butter biscuits, bacon, ham, sausages and other long-lasting food for the green dragons. After handing the Green Dragon Island over to Elsera, he left through teleportation.
When Feng Chou reappeared, he was in a completely unfamiliar city.
The Alvindale Empire was located in the southern part of the Salem North Continent. Its territory was long and narrow from north to south, mainly consisting of the narrow plains on both sides of the Alvindale River.
To the west of the Alvindale Empire was the Emerald Forest and the Dark Forest. To the east was a continuous mountain range. This mountain range separated most of the Alvindale Empire from the eastern coastline of the continent. People were used to calling this mountain range along the eastern coastline of the Salem North Continent the Eastern Mountain Range.
Leo's hometown, Antalya County, was a mountain plain in the Eastern Mountain Range. Feng Chou's new Amborite was also in the Eastern Mountain Range.
Rather than calling the Eastern Mountain Range a mountain range, it was better to call it a mountainous area. The widest part of this mountainous area was thousands of kilometers wide.
This mountainous area extended from the northern part of the Alvindale Empire to the south along the eastern coastline.
As the eastern coastline curved westward, the mountainous area gradually decreased in width until it completely disappeared.
But in reality, this mountain range did not shrink nor did it disappear. In fact, it gradually separated from the mainland and extended into the eastern sea, leaving behind countless islands near the eastern coastline of the continent.
There were many islands along the eastern coastline. To this day, no one was able to determine the exact number. People only knew that there were tens of thousands of islands in the sea.
