Evolving Silver Dragon

Chapter 202: 200 Surrender Again_l

Translator: 549690339

The reason for Black Rose’s visit to the Land of the Soaring Dragon this time was quite simple.

Although the Mido Resistance Army, led by Angelina, had been making great strides and even started to counterattack Lait, the situation in Farrand had taken a different turn.

In Farrand, the new king of Lait had ultimately achieved victory.

Those previously powerful Farrand nobles who had been resisting, had inexplicably lost their minds and imitated their spineless king, kneeling one by one before the new king of Lait.

Simply put, the new king of Lait had now unified Farrand and incorporated it into his domain, even moving his throne to the palace of the King of Farrand.

As for the original owner of the palace, the King of Farrand, he had been sent to govern a small border town within the kingdom.

Notably, this place was very close to the Dragon Bone Wasteland.

Even though Mido was bustling with activity, the new king of Lait didn’t seem to take much notice of the situation there.

Now that he had completely taken control of Farrand, his next target was the Felton Kingdom.

Compared to the territories and populations of these central kingdoms, the impoverished Lait homeland appeared to be something that could easily be discarded.

Since the new king of Lait had taken control of Farrand, there were now only two options for the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce to maintain communication with other humans.

Either to pass through the bitterly cold Snow Field and make a detour to Felton.

Or to pass through Mido or near Red Copper Castle, cross Harvest Bay, and head to the Eastern Empire of Castilla.

At first glance, the latter option seemed not bad at all.

However, in reality, the attitude of the Eastern Empire had been very ambiguous recently, and the situation there was quite complicated according to the intelligence provided by the Eastern Empire’s Imperial Capital branch.

It seemed that they had some sort of connection with the new king of Lait as well.

Therefore, the only hope to counter the new king of Lait was to rely on Mido and Felton for now.

This time, Black Rose’s visit was commissioned by Felton to come to the Land of the Soaring Dragon and purchase a batch of high-quality Dwarf-made weaponry and equipment.

Then, she would pass through the Snow Field and deliver them there.

After learning of Black Rose’s intentions, Otto gladly agreed.

This left Black Rose with no chance to use her well-prepared rhetoric.

For Otto, the rapid development of the new king of Lait seemed to be a bit too fast at present.

In order to help Mido, which he supported, grow rapidly, it seemed necessary to cause some trouble for his old friend.

So, at Otto’s command, various weapons and equipment produced by the Black Iron Dwarves, or heirlooms from the Red Copper Dwarves, were presented to Black Rose.

Of course, nothing could be given for free.

Even though the Land of the Soaring Dragon preferred bartering, the value of these top-notch weapons and equipment was not something the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce could handle alone.

Thus, Black Rose immediately contacted Lady Bauhinia, who quickly gathered the power of other chambers of commerce in Black Gold City to take in all these goods.

Frankly, these major chambers of commerce in Black Gold City were getting anxious now.

Because their overland transport routes to the major human kingdoms had mostly been blocked by the new king of Lait.

He was extremely unfriendly towards them, and for the sake of their lives, fortunes, and future development, they had to help Felton get rid of this bastard as soon as possible.

Everything was going according to plan in a lively manner.

A few days later, after Otto had sent away the visiting Dain and Ebik, who had sworn allegiance, Black Rose came to see him again.

However, this time, her mental state seemed to be much worse than before.

As soon as they met, she couldn’t wait to say, “The King of Felton has also surrendered…”

“What?”

Otto looked at Black Rose in astonishment.

Afterward, she confirmed again, “I can be sure that the King of Felton publicly announced his surrender to the new king of Lait at a banquet, and was then locked up in the castle’s secret chamber by the surrounding nobles.

This intelligence was only known to a few nobles who attended the banquet and did not spread too widely.”

It was truly unbelievable, and Otto felt as though his head couldn’t quite keep up.

Two kings announcing their surrender in a row, what on earth was this about?

Were they afraid of the berserk army under the control of the new king of Lait?

This didn’t seem very realistic, although the soldiers who had taken Frenzy Pills were frightening and tenacious, they were not invincible.

Even Angelina, with her hastily assembled Mido resistance force, could make tremendous progress in counterattacking Lait.

So, why would the King of Felton, whose territory and strength were much stronger than Farrand’s, do this?

Neither logically nor emotionally did this seem possible.

Unless the new king of Lait had used some special means behind the scenes.

Through Black Rose’s answers to Otto’s questions, it was learned that before the King of Felton publicly announced his surrender to the new king of Lait, he had met with the latter’s envoy.

The envoy had given him a gift, a short sword made of dragon bones, which the King of Felton did this foolish act not long after receiving.

Fortunately, the Felton nobility was much more reliable than the Farrand’s and immediately took control of the King of Felton, with the top four nobles in the kingdom forming a temporary council to take over the kingdom’s main powers.

At present, the first battle of the new king of Lait’s invasion of Felton was already happening at the border, and more detailed information was awaited from the spies of the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce.

Hearing this, Otto said in a deep voice, “I will do my best to provide support for you, and the materials needed to exchange for those weapons and equipment can also be replaced with Imperial Coins. If there are any changes in the human countries, notify me immediately!

Moreover, I want that short sword. No matter what means you need to use, bring it to me.”

After sending the excited Black Rose away, Otto called for Goblin Gaz.

Currently, the communication between him and Mido was managed by Gaz.

Looking at the Gaz respectfully kneeling before him, Otto asked, “How is the situation in Mido recently?”

“Everything is going smoothly. Angelina has completely consolidated her rule in Mido, and just recently, she led troops to conquer a small city on Lait’s border.”

After saying this, Gaz thought for a moment, and then continued, “At present, it seems that even within Lait’s territory, there are some resistance forces against the new king of Lait, and Angelina is currently working hard to gain their support.”

Otto nodded, satisfied with the current progress.

However, there were still some things he was more concerned about, so he asked Gaz, “Tell Angelina to come to the Land of the Soaring Dragon as soon as possible; I have some questions for her..”
