I, The Dragon Overlord-Novel

Chapter 333: Lillend

The New Era of the Gods, the First Year, the Return of the gods—

……

At dawn, the streets of Dragon City were already bustling with activity. The nightlife just ended and a new day was already upon everyone.

“Get out! Get out! You don’t have any money to stay here!”

‘Bam’, an adventurer dressed as a wanderer, was kicked out of the door by the owner of the inn. The lively scene was also witnessed by a crowd of [passers-by.

“Boss! You can’t do this. I’ve been staying with you for two months now, can’t you put it on my tab? I was unlucky yesterday. Yes, I was just unlucky to lose all my money. I’ll make some more soon and pay you double the cost of the room.”

The loiterer who was kicked out of the hotel was clearly drunk as he yelled at the burly owner.

“Bah! You were lucky to have struck a fortune once. You could have also used the money to do some business, but you went to tulip street to find women and even dared to gamble against those noble lords. I have seen a lot of your kind. If you are still alive next month, then I’ll change my name!”

“Are you still not leaving? I’ll call the guards if you stay any longer.”

The boss’ voice drew the attention of the patrolling guards. Seeing those guards in light armor heading their way, the drunken wandered immediately sobered up and ran away in a huff.

“Tch! I was also a bit of an adventurer when I was young. At that time, I could only think about being able to preserve my life, and even with that, I lost a hand. Fortunately, I had saved up enough money to retire, and thanks to the Dragon God, my life now is great. Sheesh… young people these days. They don’t know the beauty of life and the importance of saving.”

The inn owner touched his empty sleeve. He shook his head, sighed, and headed back in. The owner felt that he was now living a good life. With a small inn, a wife, and children, he was pretty happy with his circumstances.

“May the Dragon God bless me. After my death, may I also be at peace and quiet in your kingdom?”

The inn owner began to pray in front of the statue of the Dragon God.

This had been a necessary item for almost every resident of Dragon City. They would pray to god after waking up, going to sleep, before meals, and when attending Church service every seven days to pass on their faith.

Dragon City was now an adventurer’s paradise and the largest gold mine on the main continent. Every day, there were legends of people getting rich overnight, but there were more people who lost everything in one night. Every now and then, there were also adventurers who died in battles with monsters, but new ones would immediately replace them.

Although this place was a very cruel place for adventurers, it was also a treasure trove of unlimited attraction and possibilities. As long as they had money, they could enjoy the services of a heavenly world here.

The inhabitants of Dragon City lived very peaceful lives. It had already been several years since the Dragon God descended upon their city. The army was in stable operations. As an independent kingdom in the main continent, Dragon City had become a rare safe place in the current turmoil of the continent, thanks to the Dragon God’s wisdom and material support.

But as a result, the city was also coveted by many gods.

……

“Everyone move to the sides!!! Important goods are being delivered from the Subila Empire today. Clear the aisle, this shipment is important to the city lord. Everyone out of the way!”

A battalion came from the city’s barracks to clear the gate of people and open up the road.

The crowd around all dispersed but did not go far. Instead, they stood on both sides of the road, curious to see what goods would be delivered today.

Then, the residents and adventurers of Dragon City were surprised to find that the vast majority of these soldiers were beastmen along with the most elite ‘dragon cavalry’ of Dragon City.

The dragon cavalry was a group of dragon knights who rode on real dragons. This was particularly rare since prideful dragons would not allow any species to ride on their bodies.

There were less than two hundred dragon knights wearing full-body steel armor. They were more like dragon beast knights, as their mounts were somewhere between young dragons and dragon beasts, but they had no proper intelligence and could not inherit a dragon’s heritage.

That said, these dragon beasts were extremely adaptable. They could go up in the sky and move on the ground. As for their riders, only the most elite soldiers of Dragon City could join the cavalry.

Nowadays, thanks to the population growth in Dragon City, there were about 30,000 soldiers. This might have seemed small, but in a world close to medieval civilization, this was already a standard fighting power.

It was rare to see a war like the time when Louie was summoned. He had killed more than 30,000 soldiers in just one breath. Normally, demigods would never waste their divine power on ordinary soldiers due to how precious divine power was.

Demigods were closer to strategic weapons that existed to defend against opposing demigods. They rarely go into battle themselves, making wars a field where mortals and legendary rank powerhouses duked it out.

Moreover, the soldiers of Dragon City have armed to the teeth thanks to the large amount of steel that Louie brought from Earth. With how the world was severely lacking in material resources, any soldier in Dragon City was definitely an elite soldier among elite soldiers of the world.

Although professionals in the world of San Soliel were strong, they were all within human range, making weapons and equipment have a great impact on battle power. Only when they reached legendary rank could they become inhuman.

“Everyone, move aside. Open up the gates!”

A fierce female voice shouted. Lysfer walked while emanating great power while walking with her personal guard to meet this gift from the Subila Empire.

As the city gates opened wide, the first to enter the city was a supersized caravan. Under the watchful eyes of Lysfer, this caravan brought in countless beastman slaves into the city. These beastmen slaves were tied with ropes and shackled. Some of the especially strong ones were tied down with chains.

There were male and female beastmen and every one of them looked to be at their prime. The youngest only looked ten years old, while the oldest was probably twenty. It could be said that as long as they were fed properly, they could become useful slaves.

The beastmen slaves were sent as part of the covenant from the princess of the Subila Empire after informing the emperor.

Lysfer stood in front of the soldiers and coldly watched as the beastmen were delivered. Her face was cold…… without any sympathy for them.

Beastmen were races that lived in tribes. Only those who lived in the same tribe would be treated as relatives, while the life and death of other tribes did not matter. In Lysfer’s view, these beastmen slaves were the power that he had obtained, tools to make her clan live a better life.

Naturally, if these beastmen were willing to submit to her tribe for a long time, Lysfer would treat them as her own people.

“Lady Lysfer, I am Fuze, the president of the Chamber of Slaves. On the orders of the emperor, I have come to bring this batch of beastmen slaves to Dragon City…”

Under the protection of a team of guards, a fat man wearing a luxurious nobleman’s long suit and holding a pile of precious stones in his hand came over to greet her.

He was the largest slave trader in the Subila Empire and could be said to be extremely rich, but in the face of the country’s ruler, especially one that was close to becoming a god, he did not dare have treasonous thoughts, as a result, he remained law-abiding in Dragon City. Moreover, he had also squandered money like dirt, making him a valuable guest of the entertainment industry of Dragon City.

“Mr. Fuze, tell me about these slaves. From the brief glance, there seemed to be no old and weak women and children?”

Lysfer was also aware of this exotic celebrity of Dragon City, so she asked politely.

“Yes, Lady Lysfer. These slaves are personally selected by Her Highness Princess Andrea. There are no old or weak people. Oh, her Highness Andrea is quite an angel. She was worried that the slaves would decrease on the way here causing discontent to the Dragon God, so a total of 56,000 slaves were sent, minus those who died on the long journey, there are still more than 51,000 slaves. The ratio of men to women is also close to one to one. They are young and strong, making them the best group of beastmen slaves in the Subila Empire.”

“We gave these slaves food and drink on the road, just enough to maintain the basic needs of life, so they are all powerless at the moment. Even if these 50,000 slaves are locked together, they would not be able to cause a riot.”

Fuze, as a slave trader of major races, knew very well that the beastmen would not care about those of the same race who had been taken as slaves, so he could make a detailed introduction. If it were elves, he would definitely not say as much.

Lysfer was not too pleased as she listened. She thought that Princess Andrea was trying to plot against the Dragon God as her behavior was tantamount to selling the country in order to please the Dragon God.

But Lysfer soon gave up on thinking. Thinking was never the strong point of beastmen, so it would be best to leave it to others.

“By the way, Lady Lysfer, we have some great goods here specifically for Lord Dragon God.”

Fuze showed an obscene smile. He led Lysfer to a caravan covered with black cloth. After opening the cloth, Lysfer saw the scene inside.

Imprisoned in the caravan were beautiful beastmen in their early teens. There were fox girls, cat girls, and even wolf girls like Lysfer.

The sudden light made these beastmen huddle together and look at Lysfer and Fuze in fear.

“These women were captured from the chief’s family of the beastmen tribes. They are definitely the nobility of the beastmen and well-educated. This is my gift to the Lord Dragon God.”

Understanding a male dragon’s temperament, Fuze revealed a lecherous smile. He followed it up by lifting the black cloth of another caravan and whispered, “I have an even better thing here that we mortals are not blessed to consume. It can only be given to the Lord Dragon God.

When Lysfer saw what was inside, she was also flabbergasted.

It was a large creature far beyond human size. She had the beautiful appearance of a woman with wings on her back that made her look like an angel, but her ears were pointed like elves. Her upper body was barely covered with only the most crucial part covered with a metal necklace. What was especially surprising was that the lower half of this female creature was a snake tail!

Just when Lysfer was surprised, a seductive female voice came from behind her, “…This is a lillend of the azatas race. They are also called winged serpent angels.”
