Chapter 169 Transition
With ample gold and a large following, Thor's next goal is clearly to continue expanding his territory.
He planned to use his volcanic lair as the core, dispatching a large number of his subordinates to rapidly spread in all directions.
The territory of an adult red dragon varies depending on its strength and the environment it is in, and is usually between 200 and 500 square kilometers.
Thor considered himself a strongman among the red dragons, born to be a tyrant who ruled over everything. His territory should be at least 10 times larger than that of an ordinary red dragon, at least 5000 square kilometers.
This area is slightly smaller than SH City, where he lived in his previous life, but it is equivalent to 2.5 times the size of SZ City.
He would never have expanded so easily in the densely populated central part of the continent, where powerful figures gather, or around coastal ports.
But this is a sparsely populated wilderness, with vast tracts of unclaimed land everywhere. In many places, there are only lowly gnolls and goblins, and not even any decent intelligent creatures.
Naturally, they would then expand their territory aggressively, regardless of whether they could manage it all, just to assert their sovereignty first.
At the same time, in the process, Thor can also absorb more evil creatures roaming the wilderness and make them work for him.
If there are any disobedient individuals, then eliminate them all, and through each battle, improve the combat capabilities of your subordinates and eliminate those useless trash.
So, on a bright autumn noon, Thor, after a long absence, climbed to the top of the volcano, looked up and roared, issuing a call to all his men.
The large number of kobolds and grey dwarves who were digging and forging immediately stopped what they were doing.
The wild boars and minotaurs who were busy in the fields and hillsides also put down their hoes.
Those gnolls and ogres, who were either idly wandering among the mountains or fighting each other in the newly built arena to vent their bloodlust, all gathered below Thor's lair.
During the volcanic eruption at the foot of Thor, large amounts of lava flowed down the mountain, spreading outwards from the foot of the mountain, filling the uneven ground and surrounding valleys and fissures, forming a wide obsidian plaza.
As the location of the dragon lord's lair, this place is usually off-limits to most creatures. In addition, the hard obsidian ground is barren, making it appear desolate and empty.
However, just minutes after Thor issued the summons, bizarre and evil creatures began to emerge from all directions, like mushrooms after a rain.
All sorts of different races and appearances are mixed together, some of them even being mortal enemies. When they meet, they immediately start arguing, and there are quite a few who even fight each other.
The chaotic scene before him perfectly demonstrated to Thor what a mob was.
A surge of anger rose within him instantly, his mouth gaped open, revealing large, metallic fangs, and he growled in a low voice.
"Teach those damn trash a lesson, show them what quiet really means!"
Tana, who was on standby at all times, immediately stepped forward and waved her hand to summon the kobolds scattered around—or rather, the dragon vein kobolds.
The evolutionary acceleration effect of the Mad Dragon Curse, the increased allocation of resources, and the fact that the kobolds already have a thin layer of dragon blood flowing through their bodies, make them, to some extent, of the same origin as Thor.
This led to a dramatic increase in the strength of the race during this period, with more members activating their thin dragon blood. Some grew short dragon horns, while others molted into a body covered in vibrant dragon scales.
Thor now commands seven dragonblood kobolds, enough to form a large squad. However, because they all possess activated red dragon blood, their awakened spell-like abilities are all fireballs.
These dragon-blooded kobolds, with their deep red, light red, or crimson scales, rushed down the mountain and pulled out brownish-yellow pellets from their pouches.
This is a mixture of bat guano and sulfur. In mysticism, sulfur is often seen as a solid flame, while bat guano is used as a carbon-based anchor and is the most common medium for casting fireballs.
It is inexpensive, readily available, and offers excellent value for money.
As several dragon-blooded kobolds uttered dragon language with barking sounds, the pellets in their palms instantly burst into flames, burning and condensing into a fireball the size of a pigeon egg.
With a gesture, the fireball shot out with a whoosh, its long tail of flame tearing through the air before exploding amidst the most ferocious evil creatures below.
The raging flames instantly expanded into a massive fireball, with heat waves sweeping in all directions, and crimson and bright yellow flames rolling and roaring.
The evil creatures that were fighting were instantly engulfed in the shockwave. Those in the center were torn to pieces by the violent shockwave, while those on the edges were burned and injured.
After the deafening explosion, cries of agony filled the air, but when Thor's molten gold pupils swept over them, they immediately fell silent and lay prone on the ground, no longer daring to make a sound.
"You lowly creatures, it seems I have been too merciful lately, making you forget the meaning of reverence." A deep roar came from Thor's mouth, echoing between heaven and earth, causing the evil creatures to tremble. However, a few still revealed a gloating expression in their eyes.
With their superior intelligence, they maintained a respectful attitude from the beginning. Now, seeing their companions who had been killed by fireballs and their potential competitors, a sense of superiority welled up in their hearts.
If it weren't for the terrifying red dragon watching from above, it probably would have already burst into a gleeful laugh.
Then, Thor's voice rang out again, like a spring thunderclap, echoing across the surrounding land.
"I don't want to see my subordinates being nothing but useless cowards who only waste food. From now on, expand my territory in all directions! Give any creature you encounter only two choices: submit or die!"
Show your skills to the fullest during this process! I will not hesitate to reward anyone who performs exceptionally well!
Whether you desire wealth, power, or formidable weapons, you can obtain them all by demonstrating corresponding value!
The invisible sound waves spread far and wide, and the rolling sound waves made the many creatures lying below feel their scalps tingle, as if an electric current was passing through them.
As a red dragon, Thor has always disliked formalities and is annoyed by tedious pre-battle mobilizations. Moreover, the vast majority of his creatures are illiterate, so no matter how eloquently he speaks, they simply cannot understand him.
Therefore, it would be better to directly state your requirements and the corresponding rewards.
No complicated plans or sophisticated tactical arrangements are needed; simply expand outwards like a flood and relentlessly engulf everything in its path.
