During the past half year, the Kawa Great Forest has been in chaos, with many scattered factions forcibly integrated and starting to gather at the Allies Headquarters.

Throughout this process, conflicts and skirmishes among the various beastman factions happened frequently, plunging the entire Kawa Great Forest into chaos.

The blade's fierce fire spread to every corner of the Forest Land.

However, the outside turmoil did not affect the Dragon Nest Tribe at all.

Perhaps due to the presence of the Celestial Dragon Island backing, or perhaps due to the deterrence of Austin slaying the half-legendary dark-striped tiger man Vira, during this half year of development, the Dragon Nest Tribe did not encounter any trouble from the outside.

The tribe developed peacefully, and Austin also worked hard to enhance his strength during this time.

The previously consumed Power Law Origin, after refining for half a year, finally successfully integrated into his body.

Unlike other Elemental Laws, the pure attribute of the Power Law is much harder to refine, costing Austin considerable effort, more difficult than refining other Law Origins before.

Of course, the rewards after refining were greater as well.

Under the augmentation of the Power Law, the body that had been refined by volcanic lava was further strengthened, with not only enhanced scale defense but also the force within becoming sufficient to crumble the soil and land.

With pure physical power, Austin's giant dragon race talent, along with the enhancement of the Power Law within, has reached the peak of the Half-Legendary.

Even against a true Legendary, Austin dares to wrestle in terms of raw physical power.

Although, it is only in terms of physical attributes.

In this half year, besides refining the Power Law, the power of the nurtured Four Spirits Sword Array has been further enhanced.

The power of the four Law Divine Swords nurtured with magic momentum within the body for half a year is unknown to Austin.

But at least, if Austin were to face the dark-striped tiger man Vira again now, the Four Spirits Sword Array formed by the four Law Divine Swords would not be easily shattered.

However, Austin also realized that solely relying on the Four Spirits Sword Array made his strength somewhat singular.

The Four Spirits Sword Array is for defense and trapping and lacks a powerful offensive technique.

Thus, while nurturing the four Law Divine Swords, Austin did not forget to explore the direction of merging the four swords.

With the Rasengan of the four-element attribute fusion, Austin gained direction in exploring the merger of the four swords.

Having similar prior experience, it was naturally much easier.

Austin has already made significant progress in the fusion of the four Law Divine Swords.

Overall, after conversing with the Elf Mother Tree for half a year, Austin's strength increased by at least twofold.

Unfortunately, despite the substantial increase in real power, his level cultivation showed no progress.

It's unclear whether the consumed magic resources were too low in level or if he encountered some issue himself, but Austin's level remained at the Half-Legendary Realm, with no breakthrough over the half year.

One could say it's a give and take.

In this half year, besides Austin's increase in strength, the scale and power of the Dragon Nest Tribe also developed to a certain extent.

With the popularization of the Beastman Six Techniques and the completion of training for the first batch of modified beastmen, the Dragon Nest Tribe lacked nothing in terms of mid to high-end combat power.

Under sufficient mid to high-end combat power command, the surrounding beastman tribes were no match and were easily conquered and annexed.

The dangerous areas within the territorial range were also eliminated one by one, with vast amounts of Magic Ore and Magic Plants developed.

Currently, the Dragon Nest Tribe's dominance over surrounding territories reached a new height.

At the same time, in terms of ordinary beastmen, the third outpost was completed, greatly increasing the area of the Dragon Nest Tribe's actual control while the total population of the tribe exceeded the 130,000 boundary.

This time, the development of the third outpost did not require Austin to intervene again.

Relying on the powerful Dragon Nest Legion and extraordinary squads, the Dragon Nest Tribe easily cleared the Lord of Magical Beasts settled near the outpost and seized that area.

Then, a major sweep began.

Near the third outpost, beastman tribes were conquered one after another, with thousands to tens of thousands of beastmen captured.

The vast population resources provided ample workforce for developing the third outpost.

In a short time, the third outpost was firmly established nearby.

Large-scale land reclamation and farming, along with vigorous development of animal husbandry and fishery, ensured the Dragon Nest Tribe had no lack of food, drawing more impoverished beastman tribes to join voluntarily, absorbing more beastman population.

The tribe's development was flourishing and magnificent.

Looking at the intertwined systems, there already seemed to be the shadow of a kingdom emerging.

With time, much no longer required Austin's personal involvement; the seeds casually sown years ago had grown sufficiently self-sustaining.

Seeing his strength increase to a certain extent, and the Dragon Nest Tribe stable with no major issues,

Austin shifted his gaze elsewhere.

The lakes and reservoirs near the Dragon Nest Tribe.

One day, after talking with the Elf Mother Tree, Austin had a rough understanding of the current state within the Kawa Great Forest.

In any case, if a great war were to erupt, it would not end in a few years with the pure-blooded beastmen's strength.

Therefore, Austin planned to raise his strength to a certain level before engaging, ideally reaching the Legendary Realm.

Currently, Austin has reached the Half-Legendary Realm. After digesting the Power Law Origin, he found it difficult to make progress and would not consider getting involved in that turmoil for now.

However, during that conversation, aside from the history of the Arcane Mages and pure-blooded beastmen, there was another thing that caught his attention.

That was the Elf Mother Tree mentioned that it settled the Elf Kingdom nearby to find fragments of the Gate of Truth that had drifted here in the past.

The Elf Mother Tree couldn't find them.

But Austin had some ideas.

That was the lakes and reservoirs near the Dragon Nest Tribe.

Years ago, Austin acquired a beast skin note left by a gold-level great mage.

It recorded some matters concerning the lakes and reservoirs near the Dragon Nest Tribe.

One of them was the revelation that the lakes and reservoirs in the Lush Forest were not naturally formed but resembled craters caused by a falling star.

That gold-level great mage also used some methods to obtain a skeleton from the crater's depths, gaining some demonic artifacts of the Divine Artifact type.

At that time, Austin had the idea of exploring the lakes and reservoirs.

However, due to the terrifying nature of the mysterious ghost grass at the lake's bottom, his several exploration attempts ended fruitlessly.
