As time passed, more and more Order Dragons chose to become mounts for the Dragon Country people.
After Johnulp's video was released, even more Order Dragons surrendered and chose to become mounts for the Dragon Country people.
Of course, some Order Dragons refused to compromise and did not verbally abuse the Dragon Country people. These Order Dragons remained confined within the magical treasures. Among them were the Seven Dragon Kings, as their strength was the greatest and their tolerance surpassed that of other dragons.
However, the punishments within this magical treasure tower gradually intensified. Eventually, the Seven Dragon Kings would also be forced to yield.
These Order Dragons that became mounts were then distributed to powerful Dragon Country cultivators.
Su Han did not desire these Order Dragons as mounts, as they offered him no assistance. In terms of strength or speed, they could not provide him with any help.
Yet, others were quite curious about having these Order Dragons as mounts.
...
At this moment, in the magic world, the Dragon Country had begun to expand its territory. The lands of the Orcs and the Order Dragons thus naturally became part of the Dragon Country's territory. The Dragon Country then commenced its territorial expansion, initiating the construction of cities and the reclamation of farmland.
Within this magic world, the largest continent was the one where the teleportation portal was located. The other smaller continents were connected to this largest continent by peninsulas. One of these smaller continents, inhabited by the Orcs, was also connected in this manner. The Dragon Country's army advanced through the peninsula to counterattack the Orc-inhabited continent, thereby subduing the Orcs, a race that had been hostile to the Dragon Country people.
Now, all the cities of the Orcs had been reduced to ruins.
Given the presence of magic in this world, the Dragon Country held even greater interest in this magic world than in the Dinosaur World. Now that the Dragon Country had acquired vast territories in the magic world, it began a grand development. Numerous Dragon Country people eagerly volunteered to participate in the construction efforts in the magic world.
At a construction site in a certain part of the magic world.
A young man was operating over a dozen hovering machines for construction. While operating them, he could also engage in conversation.
The young man asked the middle-aged man beside him, "Captain, why aren't we building cities directly on the ruins of those cities over there? Instead, we're constructing them on this empty land??"
The Orc city ruins were more than ten kilometers away. From a high vantage point on the hovering platform, one could see the ruins of the city over there.
The captain replied, "Because this location is more suitable for building a city. Look at the terrain here; there's a large river nearby, and bedrock lies beneath the ground. The foundations of buildings constructed here will be more economical. As for that ruined Orc city, it will be leveled and turned into ordinary farmland."
As the two were speaking, the land reclamation team, which had entered the Orc ruins city from the farmland being cultivated nearby, began to level the ruined Orc city with their hovering machines. The debris from the ruined buildings would then be directly piled into low-lying areas and filled in. A layer of soil would then be covered on top.
Three days later, the young man was still controlling over a dozen hovering machines to construct the city. Some floors had already been erected.
The young man stood on the hovering platform and gazed from high above at the more than a dozen hovering machines under his control. A few hundred meters away, others were also controlling their own hovering machines for construction.
The young man once again looked towards the original Orc city ruins. He saw that the Orc city ruins had become a flat expanse of land. Simultaneously, some machines were planting something.
Just then, the captain arrived beside the young man.
The captain asked, "Why are you looking over there again? What's so interesting about that place?"
The young man asked again, "Are they planting something over there?"
The captain beside him replied, "Yes, that's right. They are planting things over there. Look, they will be planting grain crops there. When that time comes, it will also be a contribution to increasing our Dragon Country's arable land."
The young man asked, "Are the ruins of Orc cities in other places also being treated this way?"
"Of course, they are."
"Then, if all the Orc architecture is gone, doesn't that mean we're erasing the history of the Orcs? Is this practice good?"
"What's good or bad about it? From our Dragon Country's perspective, it is certainly good. The Orcs have been annihilated; what value can their history hold? Rest assured, the Orcs will still leave traces in history. In the future, we Dragon Country people will write in history books, 'The Orcs launched a war against the Dragon Country, intending to annihilate the Dragon Country people. In order to shatter the Orcs' plot, the Dragon Country annihilated the Orcs.'"
The captain continued, "Didn't Minister Su Han say that whoever offends our Dragon Country will be punished, no matter how far away? In the future, our Dragon Country will encounter many more races, and there will surely be many races that wish to annihilate us Dragon Country people, and many races that will be annihilated by our Dragon Country. We Dragon Country people will become a race spanning billions of worlds. The handling of the Orcs is merely our Dragon Country people's first test. We Dragon Country people must be able to bear this psychological pressure."
Upon hearing the captain's words, the young man immediately felt an inexplicable awe. "That sounds so profound. Wait, Captain, you wouldn't normally say such philosophical things. And these words seem like something I've seen somewhere before."
The captain laughed, "Hahaha, these are all things Minister Su Han said. You would have seen them if you read the news more."
The young man said, "I knew it, I must have seen these somewhere."
...
At this moment, on the flat ground of the leveled ruins city, after the planting machines buried the seeds in the soil, they began to move to another area for planting.
One person looked at the seeds that had just been sown and said, "Well, in the future, the entire surrounding area will become a field. By then, no one will be able to distinguish the location of this ruin anymore."
Then, without looking back, he continued to the next area for planting. The entire surrounding area was leveled into a vast flat expanse, and it was not divided by furrows. Once the crops grew, they could be erased from the electronic records, and in a few years, no one would remember where that Orc city ruin had been.
This was not only happening in this city but also in cities elsewhere. Even the Orcs' most massive cities were treated the same way. Of course, a few Orc cities that were not reclaimed would be preserved as research materials for the Dragon Country people in the future, to prove the achievements of the Dragon Country people.
