On the 28th day of the 12th month, year 3880 of the Holy Dragon Calendar, Zhang Xing raided the house of the acting city lord, Holly. The representatives of the major families in the city lord's mansion generously contributed at least ten years of profits to fund the construction of the Battle Dragon Legion!
The acting city lord, Holly, was attacked by magic beasts on his way back to the imperial capital. He unfortunately died while protecting his family.
Zhang Xing issued an order to officially start the construction of the Battle Dragon Legion. All kinds of dragons from the five nations were to report to Redbud City.
However, the other three nations did not respond to this order. They sent messengers to deliver some supplies and said that there were many powerful bandits in the country. The dragon warriors were suppressing the bandits and could only come after the country was stabilized and the Empire Alliance was officially established.
They hoped that Sir Zhang Xing would not be anxious and take it slow.
Wasn't this pure nonsense? After Zhang Xing sent the messengers away, he did not show any anger and was still busy with the construction of the dragon base.
The base was located 150 kilometers south of the city in the coastal mountain area.
This mountain area extended from Redbud City to the territory of the Golden Flower Empire. The people of the two nations called it the Blue Sea Mountain Range.
In the mountain range, there was only a flat area outside of Redbud City. The previous two emperors of the Heavenly Star Kingdom had spent a lot of manpower and resources to build a pier that could dock huge ships at the seaside. That was how Redbud City slowly developed from a small town into a big city.
On the other side of the sea were the other three nations. The trade between them was done through this port.
The base was 30 kilometers away from the port. Zhang Xing ordered people to build a road that was more than 10 meters wide to wait for a large amount of supplies to be transported into the mountain area.
After pointing out the general direction of construction, Zhang Xing no longer cared about the base.
He handed over the authority to Cher's father. Meng Xi and Meng Nasha were in charge. The pterosaurs were given to Faye and her sister to train first. The remaining two land dragons of the Thunder Martial Empire were left outside the base.
As for Thunderous Battle, it was impossible to use him. He was stripped of his position as a dragon warrior and could go wherever he liked.
Then, he sent a messenger to the Holy Roland Academy of Magic and Force to seek the dean's opinion.
One was to transfer Keldo and Saiya to the Battle Dragon Legion and train them into dragon warriors. The other was to ask Teacher Solina and Teacher Tina to help the legion.
The army was now rich, but they lacked management personnel. The two beautiful teachers could manage the internal affairs and finances, and if there were any suitable candidates, they could recommend them.
Those vermin in the City Lord's Manor did not dare to use them, nor did he plan to subdue them. It was not worth it.
The military structure provided by the superior country was not as simple as a few dragons.
The flying dragons and mages formed the aerial combat forces, while the ground dragons and warriors formed the ground forces.
Furthermore, Zhang Xing was given authority over personnel matters. As long as he took a fancy to any talent, regardless of whether they were from the academy or a family, they could be transferred to the Battle Dragon Legion to take up a post.
In short, they could do whatever they wanted as long as they could produce a powerful army that could fight at any time.
You don't care about people, money, or things. You have to think of a way to subdue these nobles and make them willingly fork out their money. That's your ability. If you can't even do that …
Although the special envoy from the superior country did not say it clearly, Zhang Xing knew that he was not qualified to be the commander. At best, he was a fierce general.
He also wanted to know if he had the ability to lead and if he had the ability to do so.
Therefore, he resolutely accepted the job that he did not want to accept.
In his previous life, he had not been an official. In this life, he was addicted to it.
The difference was that everything here depended on fighting. If you are not convinced, then do it.
