On the main road, dust filled the air, and countless people around gathered to watch the commotion.

"So this is the Dragon Army, huh? It looks really spectacular." They were not far from the frontline now. Although some people had fled, most had no way to leave.

On one hand, they didn't want to abandon their homes and leave their homeland. On the other hand, all countries and regions had begun to lock down.

To prevent a massive population outflow, the lords wouldn't just watch their subjects leave entirely.

Even if they had to leave, the lords would go first before allowing their subjects to escape behind them. In doing so, the subjects could also serve to delay the enemies, which was the usual practice of most lords.

Currently facing such circumstances, the subjects were extremely tense.

Today was different because reinforcements had arrived, and these weren't ordinary reinforcements.

A large number of Flying Dragons flew overhead, unclear from above, but the ground dragons were clearly visible. They were a type of sub-dragon with four strong limbs.

Their heads resembled a massive hammer, and at first sight, their ramming power seemed formidable.

"These appear to be Hammerhead Dragons. I've heard about them before. It's said these sub-dragons are incredibly powerful. If used to form cavalry, they'd definitely be the territory's mounts." A knight emerged, looking at these Hammerhead Dragons as he spoke.

"In terms of frontal collision, these Hammerhead Dragons are indeed formidable. They could even break down city walls. But for small-scale cavalry, they're unsuitable because they lack agility and turn very slowly."

Another person nearby chimed in, appearing to have a noteworthy background as well.

"Be grateful for such reinforcements. Why worry so much?"

"Exactly, and we don't even have to serve as knights since these sub-dragons supposedly battle on their own. I mean, are these sub-dragons really this obedient?" They had never seen large-scale obedient sub-dragon creatures.

"I heard that a large number of Bimon Giant Beasts arrived a few days ago, so it seems our front line really won't have issues."

At this moment, an elderly man sighed and said, "How could it be issue-free? The stronger they are, the more easily problems arise. If these creatures die and become Undead, who among us could withstand them?"

Silence fell around as soon as he spoke. Indeed, if they became Undead, they'd be quite formidable.

Just as the rumors were about to spread, the crowd on the road suddenly parted to both sides.

It turned out the local lord had arrived. At this moment, the lord looked at these sub-dragons in awe. As a lord, he understood how difficult it was to keep so many sub-dragons.

Not only were sub-dragons hard to find, but even if found, they weren't easy to raise.

Moreover, the fact that someone could deploy them as cannon fodder couldn't simply be attributed to sheer wealth.

"Lord, I feel these sub-dragons are incredibly powerful," said a knight beside him, wearing a solemn expression.

Indeed, the strength of these sub-dragons was formidable. Even the weakest were at the level of Intermediate Magical Beasts, with a large group at the Advanced level. Their strength surpassed even the inferior Bimong Giants sent before.

They knew these were manufactured inferior products, but was it really inferior?

In reality, they didn't know that this was due to Zhao Guang's enhanced Magic Pattern system, which incorporated the patterns directly into the Bloodline Contract. Thus, these sub-dragons were equipped with simple Magic Patterns upon creation.

The augmentation from these Magic Patterns allowed them to unleash stronger combat power.

Compared to others of the same level, they certainly weren't weaker and could potentially be stronger.

"Indeed, their strength is somewhat stronger than the legends mention. The Xuanwu Empire has indeed shown great sincerity."

These lords were from small, peripheral countries and lived near a powerful empire, constantly fearing an invasion. Hence, they exhibited robust military virtues, and even among the Lord Nobles, most weren't complete wastrels.

In terms of quality, they were overall slightly better than the nobles of the neighboring Lusis Empire.

But unfortunately, there was a significant gap in terms of top-tier strongmen and military forces.

"Rest assured, everyone, these sub-dragons absolutely won't become Undead."

Suddenly, hearing the discussions around, the lord changed the topic and declared loudly.

"These sub-dragons have undergone special treatment. Even after death, they can't become Undead, and their flesh won't be utilized by the enemy, so there's no need to worry."

The surrounding discussions were all drawn to the lord's words.

The people trusted the lord's words very much, a common trait among most subjects.

Even if a lie, it was more credible than words from others. However, many remained skeptical, mainly those not from the lowest classes but businessmen and the like who hadn't managed to relocate.

These individuals, having a certain level of knowledge, weren't easily deceived.

They said nothing, but the worry on their faces only deepened.

"Rest assured, everyone. The Xuanwu Empire has already dispatched troops to support us, and there's a powerful Floating Battleship on the front lines. You might not know, but this Floating Battleship is so potent that even a Legendary Strongman stands no chance against it."

"Moreover, for this war, I'll stay here. If I were to leave, you'd definitely be the first to go."

Upon hearing this, everyone finally felt at ease.

The lord being here meant that this place was indeed safe.

Of course, they didn't know that the lord had already moved his family away, and if departure were necessary, it wouldn't be at a speed they could match.

Now, looking at the sub-dragons before them, people's worries gradually faded.

With such powerful reinforcements, if they couldn't confront the Undead, what use would their worries be?

Some even began shouting slogans to join the army, as if they were invigorated.

Seeing the public in such a state, the lord felt very pleased.

"Make arrangements, and have me meet the leader of this sub-dragon unit."

The subordinate quickly nodded, "Then what level of gift should we prepare?" The other party wasn't a noble, but at this moment, wielded immense power. These sub-dragons were inconsequential to the Xuanwu Empire, but they couldn't afford to ignore them.

After thinking it over, the lord said, "Use the highest level, but don't let it leak out."

This level was intended for meetings with the Royal Family, and leaking it could lead to impeachment.

But everyone did such things secretly; as long as care was taken to avoid issues, it was fine. After all, no one would take such matters seriously, or it could impact themselves.
