Dragon Tamer - Chapter 334

Chapter 334: Chapter 336: King-level Honorable

“So, we don’t have to die??” Hao Ye said.

For the residents of Runyu City, that was the key point!

They could survive this catastrophe!

Because someone had tamed the soon-to-ascend Dragon King, and although Runyu City was also left in ruins by the meteor fire, what war hadn’t changed the face of Runyu City? Now this was already the best outcome.

At least there was shelter from the wind and rain, at least there was a piece of land to settle down.

“Although Heavenly Slaughter Dragon made this place like this before it submitted to me, I still want to apologize to the residents of Runyu City on its behalf. From now on, Runyu City will definitely become peaceful, and it will certainly revive. Because I am your Protector, I swear by the name of Zhu Minglang that I will never let any army trample this sacred land again. Should any invaders come, they will face the wrath of the Dragon King!” Zhu Minglang said to those huddled together for warmth, the surviving people.

When hunting the Fiend Star Dragon, most residents were driven out of the city.

Yet when the celestial fire descended, they hid back inside the city, for there was no sense of security outside.

Looking around, Runyu City had really been reduced to ruins.

But Runyu City had a perfect foundation, a perfect geographic location; its climate, and Spiritual Rhyme surpassed those of some countries’ capitals. As long as the city’s foundation, which stood upon the bones of the Sang Funeral Dragon, remained, soon there would be homeless people setting down roots here.

It could always recover, no matter what it had been reduced to last time. Maybe that was the very vitality of Runyu City itself, which after the meteor fire, became even more fertile soil the following year.

Of course, most importantly, the city finally had a powerful Protector!

The Orderer of the Tea-colored Ground, and a Dragon Shepherd with the title of Hunter, as well as the head of the Godly Mortal Academy, such figures were only at Peak Monarch Level, coveting King Level…

Yet their City Lord was a King-level Honorable.

Let alone the four neighboring nations, it seemed even the Ten Nations leading to the Neon Sea would not dare to provoke Runyu City lightly!

That was the prestige of King Level, even military-strong nations had to give it due respect!

It was already deep winter, but it wasn’t too cold here; the land that had been cleansed by meteor fire retained some residual warmth.

The armies had dispersed, and the people from Godly Mortal Academy had left.

To show respect, Godly Mortal Academy took the initiative to offer to rebuild the destroyed city walls and towers, promising to make the new Runyu City look extraordinarily grand and magnificent.

Tu Wenhe also stated that from now on Slaughter Country would be Runyu City’s most loyal ally, even willing to open a trade corridor to the Neon Sea for Runyu City, bringing back its former glory.

Some other local powers from the Tea-colored Ground, upon hearing about the Dragon King’s ascension, even came to offer congratulations.

Red Eyebrow Villa, Bei Family Manor, Lonely Mountain City, Eagle Peak, Chen Family Fort… These major and minor powers of the Tea-colored Ground also seemed to realize that in the future, they may have to rely on the King-level existence of the Tea-colored Ground, and they all sent various gifts, truly contributing to Runyu City’s rebuilding.

The Hu Family Siblings had not slept for excitement these past days.

In the past, these powers either hindered or made things difficult, posing great obstacles to the development of Runyu City. Now they had gathered together, helping Runyu City rebuild.

The taming beasts of Bei Family Manor carried large paving stones, one after another, to the streets, even helping the artisans cut them and lay them on those severely damaged roads.

High-quality sand and tiles were delivered by private mercenaries in cartloads; lacking artisans in Runyu City, the best artisan teams were brought in to construct buildings.

Among the God and Mortals, many were skilled in the art of construction; building and repairing cities was an easy task for them, far simpler than the massive constructions undertaken by some remote small nations.

A city on the brink of extinction was completely revitalized by the birth of a King Level presence.

Land once chaotic and disordered also became well-organized and efficient because of the birth of a King Level being.

Perhaps this was why Tu Wenhe, Chang Hong, and Yan Guang were so obsessed with reaching King Level; at this stage, all the anger, pain, confusion, and struggles could be easily smoothed over, without even needing to lift a finger, as naturally, others would settle things for them.

Is this what it means to be King Level??

So exhilarating!

Back when I was a Sword Cultivator, although I had also touched the threshold of King Level, my cultivation base was not stable at all, relying entirely on my Sword Territory to fight against true King-level strongmen. In the end, I was beaten and sent flying to another place, nearly becoming an orphan.

Now it’s different, there is no longer any need to endure painfully by talent alone; with genuine King-level strength, don’t let myself encounter that bastard near the Wutu Ground Vein again, I’ll definitely chop it up and feed it to stray dogs!

“Venerable Zhu, are you satisfied with the construction of this city tower?” General Sutai asked Zhu Minglang in a low and humble voice, maintaining the most respectful smile on his face.

“Repair some of the civilian houses in the back city as well, and make sure to properly settle those honest hunters and farmers,” Zhu Minglang said.

“As you command!” Sutai replied with a smile.

This Brown Banner Army General of the Slaughter Country, who commanded an army of a hundred thousand, wasn’t feigning his smile at the moment.

It came from the heart.

After all, he had snatched back his own life. Now, Sutai regarded Zhu Minglang with more respect than the great patriarch, willingly serving as a foreman in Runyu City, dedicating his enthusiasm to the city’s reconstruction!

Sutai’s Giant Spirit Killing Dragon was a divine beast for hauling bricks, and those overly heavy beams didn’t need any civilian machinery; they were easily carried to their designated spots by the Giant Spirit Killing Dragon, leading to the frequent appearance of artful architecture in Runyu City, allowing the artisans to fully exercise their construction talents!

With the likes of Sutai as a city construction laborer, the efficiency was sky-high!

“City Lord, the Godly Mortal Academy says they will take care of those Spirit Veins on our behalf, and they will only take 20% of the costs and maintenance fees from the items obtained from the veins; the remaining 80% will be personally delivered to our mansion,” Hu Bailing ran over joyfully to tell Zhu Minglang.

“Use these spiritual resources to expand your Hu Family Dragon Shepherd Teams,” Zhu Minglang said generously.

After all, they were mostly low-level spiritual resources suitable for Sub-level and Military General levels, which were of little use to Zhu Minglang himself.

Of course, the Spirit Veins did produce Lord Level and Monarch Level treasures, which would naturally be presented to Zhu Minglang for inspection. If Zhu Minglang needed them, he would take them; if not, they would then be distributed to other managers in the city.

Runyu City had a total of six Spirit Veins, with Herbal Hill being the most valuable, yielding several tens of pounds of Spirit Grass each year. It was said that high-quality Spirit Grass was even more valuable than gemstones!

“Bei Family Manor sent us some Eagle Claw Fake Dragons, how should we deal with them?” Hu Bailing asked.

“Give them to the Azure Wolf Cavalry and the Copper Knife Army. We will still need them to protect the city well; they also need to become stronger,” Zhu Minglang said.
