Because of Ying's report, Joshua soon learned of Munster's arrival. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Strange thing, looking for something for me? But isn't there a teleportation network in the Northlands now? He can use spells in the imperial capital to inform me, where can I use it to ask for a meeting on the spot. ”

Talking to himself with some doubts, the warrior didn't care about such a trivial matter, he stopped what he was doing, and went to the parlor at the bottom of the building to meet this old acquaintance.

And after a period of greetings, he ushered in the good news that Munster had brought from the imperial capital thousands of miles away.

It was a royal commendation.

"What is this?"

Raising his eyebrows, Joshua curiously picked up the medal with the sun emblem and representing the imperial family, and he looked sideways at the middle-aged censor who was drinking tea with a vicissitudes of life, waiting for the other party's explanation.

"Because some confidential matters are involved, you can't make a big deal about it, so the royal family didn't send a special mission to grant you this honor."

But it was obvious that Munster would be wrong about Joshua's meaning, he put down his teacup and began to explain other things in detail: "The Northland is too far away from the imperial capital, and few people know you, and I am quite familiar with you, Lord Earl, so Your Majesty gave me the task of inspecting the northern and northern lands of the empire at the same time, let me send these to you." ”

Speaking of this, he looked at the warrior with admiration: "It's the first time I've seen that group of high-ranking mages in the Royal Mage Guild show that kind of expression, it feels like the expression of a traveler in the desert who has been starved of water for a week when he sees an oasis, Lord Earl, what did you send them?" ”

"I said why didn't you teleport here, it turned out that you were on the way to the middle of the patrol...... What to send? I'm not asking about this, I'm asking about what kind of medal it is. ”

After repeating his words and thinking for a while, Joshua could guess the reason, he touched his chin, and said with some hesitation: "Could it be the dragon mist that I sent over last time?" Speaking of which, I haven't heard about the follow-up of the Abyss token, but now, all the rewards have been combined and sent over. ”

The bottled black mist he found in the Dragon's Lair last time was systematically examined and confirmed to be a high-purity dragon virus, and it had a distinct tendency to chaos, and that any creature infected by it, not just dragons, would go berserk and gradually transform into a Chaos family.

Although the success rate of the conversion is very low, not even one in a thousand, but even madness is dangerous enough, Joshua knew that he didn't have the ability to deal with this thing, so he simply borrowed Brandon's connections and sent it to the Royal Mage Guild, so that the group of mages who stayed in the laboratory almost forever tried to find a way to crack it.

Joshua didn't have any expectations, after all, he had never heard of the dragon vaccine or anything like that in his previous life, but now according to the reward he received, I am afraid that it was not really successfully developed.

"The original body of dragon disease? I see, so it makes sense. ”

On the side, Munster suddenly realized, and then he began to explain to Joshua the origin of the badge in his hand.

"The Imperial Family uses the sun as their coat of arms, and the medal in your hand, called the Dawn Emblem, is the highest level of glory that a nobleman can receive, and it represents that you have made an indelible contribution to the entire Empire."

When he said this, Munster even saluted the emblem, and he said to Joshua with emotion on his face: "Maybe you don't know, Lord Joshua, the items you sent have brought great inspiration to the Royal Mage Guild, as far as I know, they have developed a finished potion through this, which can make all kinds of earth-walking dragons commonly used by the dragon cart caravan immune to mad dragon disease, and if it is a relatively minor degree of madness, it can even be directly lifted." ”

Sure enough, a countermeasure was developed. The warrior nodded slightly, this is indeed good news, with this kind of medicine that can suppress the dragon disease, then at least there is no need to worry about the pets or domestic animals around you suddenly going berserk and rioting, especially the Earth Walking Dragon, now at this time period, the airship has not been successfully developed, and the dragon car caravan is the main artery of the imperial trade, if the caravan is paralyzed, not to mention anything else, where does the Northland import fruits and grains and some other specialties?

"Now, the empire is fully prepared for the dragon plague, and it will never lose most of the important port cities along the coast like the Far South kingdom that was raided."

Munster continued, looking excited: "And a few days ago, the elves and the emissaries of the Far South royal family were received in the palace of Morlai, and they seem to be in dire need of our potion......"

When he got here, the middle-aged censor suddenly fell silent, he shrugged his shoulders, signaling that this was a confidential matter, but without Munster saying it, Joshua could also guess that the empire must have knocked a lot of money in this matter, otherwise, the emperor would not be happy to even carry a medal himself.

No wonder, I just did a little work, how did I get a piece of the Dawn Emblem known as the highest glory? Here's why.

Then, with nothing to say, Munster said that he would go to inspect the other three of the four realms of the Northlands, and Joshua sent him out of the Lord's Mansion and watched him disappear around the corner of the street.

Before leaving, the inquisitor did not forget to remind the warriors that they should remember to attend the celebration banquet in the imperial capital in early April, as a day to celebrate the complete extermination of the orcs, it may evolve into an annual festival, even if the two dukes from the east and west will go to celebrate on that day, in fact, basically the entire empire's high-level will go to the imperial capital, if you don't want to become a freak who doesn't fit in, it's better to go.

Of course, Joshua will not forget this matter, he is definitely going to go to the imperial capital, recently the territory has been peaceful, the old dwarf has temporarily returned to Black Steel Town, the improved version of the magic armor has been determined, he is going to produce a hundred sets for the dwarves digging tunnels to use first, see the results.

And the paladin Loranda is also single-mindedly exploring the Great Ajax Volcano, and has completely become a person who is detached from low-level interests, and it is impossible for Joshua to call him back.

There is no paladin to learn from him, and there is no old dwarf to study magic technology with him, Joshua can only do nothing, every day is very idle, as for the dragon disaster, if you want to spread from other places to the north where the dragon's nest has been wiped out, it will take more than half a year to say the least, and there is no need to think about it at all, now, in addition to participating in the celebration banquet, he also plans to go to see the famous Warcraft auction in the imperial capital, buy a few gold-level monsters, and complete the Extreme Intention Trial task by the way.

As for the Dawn Emblem...... Joshua wasn't really a nobleman at heart, he didn't care much about these so-called glories, and even from a systemic point of view, this badge only added to indifferent aspects such as prestige and charisma, and for a warrior, it was quite a chicken rib because it was impossible to turn his minus twenty charisma back to a positive number anyway. After thinking about it, Joshua put it in his collection room, and let it be with the Flame Twin Serpent Ring and the strange piece of [Burning Steel Fragment].

Back in the study, Joshua continued to deal with official business, he had been watching the Far South Kingdom's intelligence on the handling of the dragon plague, and now it was natural to continue.

Due to the reason that there was also Cleel's comrade-in-arms in the previous life, Joshua was very concerned about the intelligence of the Far South, although in the previous life, the elves relied on the defense of their Qunsen fortress and did not suffer too much loss in the dragon calamity, but this does not mean that they are really safe, in fact, the warriors know that there are many small and medium-sized elf villages and towns that have been attacked by the dragon and slaughtered, in the face of the crazy dragon species, there is no difference between humans and elves.

After determining that the Elven Druid's Wind Song Clan was a large elven group, the warrior was relieved a lot, and he began to focus on the information of the Far South Kingdom, in which he had been personally involved in his previous life, but now from the perspective of a bystander.

- On the twelfth day of the third month of the year 833, the last coastal city of the Far South Kingdom, Ruhr City, was burned to ashes, leaving no grass in the place where the dragons passed, and countless wild beasts were driven away by the dragons, and even formed a small wave of beast tides rushing northward.

Fortunately, the vast majority of the people in the occupied areas have been evacuated urgently, saving their lives, but millions of people have left their homes, and the amount of food, shelter and various materials they need is too large for even the always wealthy Far South Kingdom to bear.

For a nation, the hearts of people in turmoil are more terrible than the terrible dragon plague.

And Joshua knew that this was just the beginning.

In the case of countless people who have been displaced and uprooted from their homes, the vast majority of people who lack food and clothing will not seriously think about the causes of the disaster and understand the difficulties of the kingdom, they will only blindly blame the inaction of the high-level, which also laid the groundwork for the later split.

The news of the fall of Ruhr City reached the Far South royal capital on the same day, and fortunately, the army of the Far South Kingdom had also been reorganized, and the coalition of nobles and the central government had set out from the fortress of Botdington and took the initiative to exterminate several Wyvern clusters heading towards the South Ridge refugee gathering place, but this could not reverse the bad situation, and could only barely maintain the defensive line.

On the thirteenth, several groups of iron-scaled dragons were found in the Forest of Silence, which were originally very docile omnivorous primordial dragons, known for their hard scales, but after their ferocity, they completely turned into killing machines, leaving not half of the living creatures in their passes, even the trees were gnawed away. Although they were exterminated by the elves the next day, they also caused great losses.

On the 15th, the merchant alliance in the same south was also attacked by the dragons, not expecting that the dragon plague was so large-scale that they suffered a lot of losses in the early stage, several coastal trading cities were attacked by the sea stegosaurus group, hundreds of merchant ships sank on their routes thousands of times, and the envoys of the Far South royal family also returned from the north.

On the 19th, the first large-scale battle between the kingdom alliance and the dragons began on the Granmar Plain, because of the Kuroshio, the human army has a wealth of experience in dealing with this large beast, with the help of the fortress built on the spot and the earthly dragon that has taken the dragon resistance as a containment, the coalition army has eliminated tens of thousands of dragons at a very small cost.

On the 22nd, based on several large cities in the central part of the country, the Far South Kingdom established an iron bucket-like defensive line, completely separating the occupied area from the safe zone, and the war temporarily fell into a calm phase, and the kingdom's top brass began to make every effort to clear the riots hidden among the refugees.

But those rioters who were obviously Chaos believers were well hidden, and this time the purge was fruitless, and seeing this, it made Joshua frown.

The entire dragon calamity can be said to be a conspiracy of the Chaos believers, they are just to meet the conditions for the evil god to come, so they have spent hundreds of years of preparation, and even instigate the refugees to undermine the stability of the rear, in the eyes of the warriors, the Far South Kingdom's cleaning efforts are really not enough, they attach too much importance to the dragon, and do not pay much attention to those refugees.

Now it is 833 years, March 27, a new round of war reports have not yet been delivered, but history is still advancing, now not only in the Far South, but all over the continent have broken out dragon plagues of varying intensity, even in the northern empire on the other side of the world, and only the northern land where the dragon's nest has been wiped out is still peaceful, although there are occasional rampaging beast dragon species, but there is no group of scale.

But for now, it's just the calm before the storm.

Joshua turned his head to look at the huge world map behind him, his gaze fixed on the south.

The war has come as promised. (To be continued.) )
