Chapter 242 Changes in Human Kingdoms

However, during this time, the messengers sent back a very surprising message to Agred: the human kingdoms had been unified by a young lord who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the last forty years!

The unification of the human kingdoms instantly alerted Agreed. He immediately used his spiritual particles to examine the human world, only to discover that the situation in the human kingdoms had been blocked at some point, and his spiritual particles were unable to detect the human regions!

This made Agred feel uneasy. He had been so busy with the development of his territory that he had neglected to monitor other countries. However, Agred had a rough idea of ​​what was going on with the sudden changes in humanity. Either there was support from foreign forces or even gods, or strangers had appeared and affected that backward land. In any case, he needed to pay attention and make preparations.

Argreed immediately activated the Darkscale Force, which he had deployed in the human kingdoms sixty years ago. Decades ago, Argreed had preemptively sent a group of spies to lie dormant in the north, laying the groundwork for his northern expedition several years later.

Now it's time for these spies to play their part. Relying on the connection and communication through the dragon bloodline, the Darkscale Forces quickly established contact with Agred. Agred then created a completely realistic human body and used it to communicate offline with his subordinates in the northern world.

One month before the founding of the Kingdom of Myriad Races, the Human Empire

At night, an ordinary-looking boy dressed in coarse linen clothes wandered the streets of the human empire's capital, 'Akaron'. He entered his simple wooden hut, and upon opening the door, he was greeted by a chameleon-like man. Upon seeing the boy, the chameleon-like man immediately knelt on one knee and devoutly whispered, "Kou Nan greets his master, my lord is eternal."

The boy was naturally Agred's puppet. Agred controlled this body to sit on the table and chair and ordered, "No need for that. Get up. You've worked hard all these years. Please explain the specific situation here to me."

Kou Nan bowed again and then stood up and said, "Forty years ago, we infiltrated the Northern World as instructed by our master. During this time, we did not deliberately hide our identities as you instructed, but simply lied that we were driven out by the dragons of the South and had no choice but to come here to survive. After that, we entered the business world of the Northern Continent as you instructed."

Scams, swindles, assassinations, coercion, bribery, murder, arson—we used every means at our disposal to quickly establish ourselves and expand our business in the North. Just as you predicted, most of the nobles in the feudal empires of mankind have no conscience. As long as we pay them, they will accept us and wipe away all our past sins. It has to be said that humans are unique in being so ruthless to their own people.

But all that changed one autumn thirty years ago. A young lord of a small territory within the human empire suddenly rebelled, quickly defeating all the nations and seizing control of human society. His army was equipped with ranged weapons called 'firearms.' I tried them; they were quite powerful. The armor-piercing sniper rifle they named Barrett was even able to shatter my scale armor, almost inflicting minor injuries. It was terrifying!"

Upon hearing this, Agreed immediately became alert and asked, "A weapon that can break through the dragonkin's protective force field and scales... Is it easy to use? Is it simple to prepare? Can it be mass-produced?"

Kou Nan quickly replied, "I've already found out. With the current level of human technology, we can't produce many of those weapons, but there are many similar ones. Therefore, they have an army with a terrifying attack range, as well as tanks and aircraft that allow humans to fly. Moreover, as far as I know, they definitely have even more terrifying secret weapons. I think if you want to rule this planet, they are our biggest obstacle."

Agreed stroked his chin thoughtfully, and after a while continued to ask, "So, is there no divine intervention behind this incident? These novel weapons are indeed a bit troublesome, but if there's nothing else, it's not really a huge problem. However, there must be something else behind them, otherwise they wouldn't be able to block my spiritual senses."

After hearing Agreed's question, Kou Nan answered, "I know a little about the matter of the spirit particles. That young lord and a group of witches seem to have an unclear relationship. Those witches possess very ancient magical knowledge and have a high level of intelligence. The malfunction of the spirit particles should be their doing."

Agreed grew increasingly suspicious and questioned, "Then how could you possibly conduct business openly in the human world? The witches would have eliminated you silently the moment you arrived, how could they allow you to interfere with the economic lifeline of this place?"

Kou Nan explained, "Because we quickly sensed the business opportunity and chose to fund them immediately, we gained their trust directly. Furthermore, we are very clean in our business dealings these days, so they didn't suspect anything."

Agreed sighed helplessly and called out towards the door, "Come out, there's no need to continue this charade, Kou Nan... If I remember correctly, there's no such person in my Chameleon Squad, and did you even use your brains to come up with such a low-level lie?"

As he spoke, the wooden house instantly split open from the top, turning into a flat surface on the ground. A woman dressed in black, with an extraordinary bearing and unparalleled beauty, appeared before Agreed. At the same time, a boy in gorgeous clothes stood beside her, clapping and saying, "As expected of the Destruction Dragon God that those dragons yearn for. He can't be fooled by these little tricks."

At the same time, Konan, who was opposite Agreed, turned slightly, and a witch dressed in a white, tight-fitting nun's habit appeared opposite Agreed. She bowed and said, "I have made a fool of myself. I hope the Dragon God will forgive me."

Agreed's eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly. He was furious, but he had to suppress it because he needed to negotiate with the other party.

"Are my men still alive?" Agreed asked the young king.

The young man gave a wicked smile and replied arrogantly, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Remington Belles, and I am the current monarch of the human kingdom 'The Undying Empire.' As for your subordinates... I'm sorry, the forty dragonmen who came to this country have already been executed by us. After all, they were too restless."

Agred's veins bulged instantly. If his clone weren't so weak, he would have killed this arrogant brat right now.

"Then I have nothing more to say. My country and humanity are mortal enemies!"
