Recalling scenes from the past, the hardships along the way, it all feels like a dream.

"Just seven Kobolds, and I managed to create such a massive Dragon Nest Tribe. Even an Empire is no challenge!"

In an instant, Austin felt an infinite confidence surge within him.

To create such a huge Beastman Tribe from nothing and gather and train so many powerful elites, he naturally had the right to be confident.

He firmly believed that whether it was the Beastman Alliance or the "Mutated Evil Spirit" controlling the Undead Calamity, they would one day become stepping stones for his growth and resources for his entry into a higher world.

While Austin stood on the high platform filled with ambitious aspirations, the governor Vini standing beside him was also full of complex emotions.

Thinking back to when their remnant faction faced desperate situations and accidentally entered His Highness Austin's territory, who could have imagined today's scene?

At that time, their greatest wish was just to survive the cold winter and take root under the prince's protection.

In the beginning, being able to fill their stomachs was their greatest happiness.

The world's changes, in just a few short years, in the blink of an eye, the Dragon Nest Tribe has developed to its current scale.

For Austin, who led all this, Vini's admiration had reached an unprecedented level.

During this period, with the constant absorption of outside wandering Beastmen, wandering Tribes, and their own population's reproduction and survival, the population of the Dragon Nest Tribe had already exceeded thirty thousand and was steadily approaching forty thousand.

At the beginning, he was just a leader of seven half-disabled defeated warriors, struggling to survive with his kind.

Now, he stood high, beside the great His Highness Austin, controlling the fate of thousands of Beastmen.

In the past, how did he dare to hope for such a day to come?

The enormity of the world's changes was nothing compared to this; Vini felt that this struggle would be unforgettable for the rest of his life.

Not just Vini, but all those who joined early, contributed significantly, and rose to the middle and upper echelons of the Dragon Nest Tribe expressed the same sentiments.

The hardships of a few years ago were still vivid, and now they had grown to become the overlord of a region, possessing the strength to change the balance of war power in an area.

Initially, many Beastmen had to submit under the sweeping force of the Dragon Nest Legion, but after continuous indoctrination and with the Dragon Nest Tribe's prosperous rise like the morning sun, every Beastman present was filled with a sense of pride.

"This dragon... perhaps, I should stay..."

Standing beside the high platform, one of the few humans in the Dragon Nest Tribe, original Mercenary Deputy Captain Gory, looked at the advancing Dragon Nest Beastman army below and suddenly felt a sense of confusion.

Back then, when he surrendered to the dragon's command, Gory's only thought was to save his life.

Later, seeing the powerful secret techniques created by the dragon, he began to perform earnestly, striving to gain more merits to earn rewards of those powerful combat techniques.

Now, having lived in the Dragon Nest Tribe for over a year, thanks to his relentless efforts and significant achievements, Gory had risen to the high ranks of the Dragon Nest Legion and was awarded a junior officer rank, commanding over three hundred Beastman elites.

And now, in the force of over three hundred he commanded, there were not only Beastmen but also original members of the Mercenary Corps.

Those original Mercenary Corps members were all under Gory's command trying to get by.

Meanwhile, the original Mercenary Captain, Valen, and a few die-hard non-surrendering members were still engaged in hard labor in various places like the prison camp mines.

Seeing the situation of original Mercenary Captain Valen and the fate of a few die-hard elements, most of the mercenaries who surrendered felt considerable relief; the Mercenary Corps had already fallen apart.

Having experienced the power of commanding hundreds, Gory suddenly found that he no longer wished to return to the Central Earth World and continue living a desolate life.

With his achievements, he would soon be able to learn those powerful secret techniques, techniques far superior to commonplace Combat Techniques like Wind Chasing Slash and Earth Splitting Slash!

Initially, Gory planned to escape the Dragon Nest Tribe immediately after obtaining those powerful secret techniques, escape back to the Central Earth World, then work hard, using those techniques to succeed in some Duchy and gain rewards to become a noble.

Yet now, Gory's thoughts had changed.

Not to mention, even if he gained the secret techniques and increased his power, returning to the Central Earth World, without network connections, could he indeed simply gain a noble title?

How could he ensure those learned secret techniques wouldn't be targeted by greedy high-ranking nobles, how could he ensure his life-and-death-earned accomplishments wouldn't be credited to other nobles? Such guarantees seemed impossible for a common-born Gory.

Moreover, when the mercenary team was defeated and he surrendered to the dragon, the Dragon Nest Tribe's population was around a mere thousand, and the Blue Young Dragon named Austin was only of Silver Level.

But now, the population of the Clan Tribe had grown to near forty thousand, including many powerful Beastman Transcendent Professionals.

And that Blue Young Dragon named Austin had quickly grown to the Gold Level.

Such immense growth and change happened in just a span of one or two years.

In just one or two years, the Dragon Nest Tribe had developed to its present state. What if they had a few more years to develop further?

Undoubtedly, it would become a dominant force in Kawa Great Forest.

And Gory knew well, Austin's ambitions were far beyond this. Someday, when his expansion reached a certain extent, he would certainly launch a significant attack on the Central Earth World, turning human territories into his domain.

By then, the noble title he had dreamt of, the childhood dream of becoming a lofty noble, wouldn't it be fulfilled?

In a country established by a dragon, becoming a ruling noble didn't seem bad either.

Looking at the continually passing Dragon Nest Beastman elites below, Gory's thoughts slowly started to change.

As for the multitude of clans' thoughts nearby, Austin naturally couldn't fully understand each one.

Looking at the densely packed sea of people all around, the huge recurring cheers, the excitement and pride on each Dragon Nest Beastman's face, Austin understood that this pre-sporting event parade had been an enormous success.

The cohesion of the entire Dragon Nest Tribe had been greatly strengthened.
