The era when a single dragon occupied an entire mountain range is now completely a thing of the past.

However, the good times for mining did not come immediately.

The recurring migrating tides of beasts also remain a threat to the miners;

The nomadic tree people who rise from the ground from time to time also don’t like the noisemakers who make trouble.

Occasionally, some people who are extremely greedy for minerals come to the North to try their luck.

And most of them did not have a good ending.

Only a small number of people who come to the northern continent will establish settlements in places where beast tides and nomadic tree people rarely come.

With the biggest threat gone, the settlements slowly “grew”.

Over time, these settlements evolved into the present-day New Town Republic.

As the ruler of the New City Republic, Lu Heng’s mining business is actually not that easy.

He asked the Survey Corps and the newly surrendered nomadic tree people to guard the mining area together, and only then was they able to withstand the threat of the beast tide.

Only with a strong enough military force can we truly and temporarily secure this hard-earned mining opportunity.

I really hope that the peace and tranquility in the North can last forever…

Precisely because the mineral resources in the north have been steadily increasing, Lu Heng has the confidence to confront the Empire on the front line of Kongwu Monastery.

But in the early morning of the next day, he suddenly heard bad news from the north through the communicator:

“Our outpost was attacked by a dragon! It was a blue dragon!”

“The mine is following the previously formulated plan to evacuate in case of a fatal threat.”

“But the blue dragon seems to be heading towards our mine with a purpose.”

“It may only take a dozen minutes for the blue dragon to reach our main mine.”

Lu Heng could tell that the person reporting was Cecilia, who was growing up.

He wanted to comfort her, but then he realized that he was not her caring brother at the moment.

Since he was just a superior, his tone became official:

“I understand. You continue to monitor the blue dragon, and I will support the mine.”

One of the important reasons why Lu Heng believed that time was on his side was that he was mining the mineral veins in the north.

Over time, these minerals will be converted into fuel and ammunition, laying the material foundation for ultimate victory.

Once the northern mines were completely destroyed, Lu Heng would be like losing an arm.

Therefore, Northern Mining must not be lost, and at this moment, the person who is most confident in fighting the blue dragon is only himself.

Even if he let Aurelia bring the golden dragon, Lu Heng was worried that his own people would suffer casualties.

What’s more, at this moment Aurelia is still fighting fiercely with the Empire in the Long Sleeve Strait and cannot extricate herself.

Then I will fight the blue dragon myself!

406. So big!

Lu Heng also immediately activated the landing point vision and quickly shifted his sight from the Kongwu Monastery to the northern mining area.

Not long after, he found the invading blue dragon among the mountains in the north.

Judging from the shape of her head, this appears to be a female dragon.

Her biggest feature is that she is really big!

Generally, an adult dragon only grows to about 10 meters, but this blue dragon is estimated to be more than 20 meters long.

A dragon’s size is usually positively correlated with its combat power. It seems that she is most likely a powerful dragon with considerable background.

Then, Lu Heng switched to psychic vision and found that the color of the blue dragon was quite bright.

Wow, this blue dragon is a rank five spellcaster.

No matter what her special talent is, she is indeed a formidable enemy.

But what Lu Heng was thinking about was not just how dangerous this powerful enemy was, but the possibility of turning him into his own person.

After all, the legitimate Dragon King of the Dragon Kingdom, Aurelia, has already surrendered to him, and the blue dragons are also subjects of the Dragon Kingdom.

Is it possible to use the authority of the Dragon Queen to defeat the blue dragon without fighting?

This is certainly difficult, but Lu Heng still intends to pursue the possibility of maximizing benefits.

He immediately used the communicator to connect with Aurelia on the Golden Hope:

“How’s the battle going?”

Aurelia enjoyed Lu Heng’s concern very much. She responded with a smile:

“As reported last time, we have destroyed another group of armed imperial fleets.”

“The enemy has not yet made any further moves, or they may be making plans to hunt us down…”

“But so far, our operation has been going well.”

In contrast, Lu Heng’s tone was somewhat serious:

“Good. Now there are some problems in the North. There is a big blue dragon that seems to want to destroy our mine.”

“Can you influence this blue dragon? Even if we can’t get it to join, there’s no need for us to fight.”

Blue dragon?

Aurelia suddenly felt that the memories of the dead began to attack her present, which made her a little dazed:

“The vast majority of blue dragons were probably slaughtered by the Divine Emperor during the destruction of the Dragon Nation and used as sacrifices…”

“Even if there are blue dragon survivors, they will not submit to the God-Emperor, or attack everywhere like wild beasts.”

“Because blue dragons value the dignity of the dragon race and are also very intelligent.”

“Normally, these survivors would use Transfiguration to first understand some of the situation, and then formulate a plan to seek revenge against the God-Emperor.”

“What if she instead attacks the enemies of the God-Emperor… maybe it’s because her mind is controlled by the God-Emperor?”

After hearing this, Lu Heng already had an idea.

Although the God-Emperor can control others with the brand, this control is not completely unsolvable.

He had solved the problem of Estarofia’s brand last time.

Although the process of removing the brand may be a bit painful for the person being cured, he will be cured in the end, right?

So Lu Heng told Aurelia to continue focusing on the battle in the Long Sleeve Strait.

He will solve the blue dragon’s problem by himself, but a fierce battle is inevitable before it can be cured.

Then, he opened a portal in the northern mining area…

It was also at this time that the Blue Dragon was very close to the main mining area of ​​the Northern Mining Company.

Whether it was the goblins, dwarves, catmen, ratmen… or necromancers, they all heard the roar of a dragon in the distance when they evacuated.

Although a rat man also wanted to escape quickly, he was quite confused about the direction of retreat:

“Are we really safer on the ground? Even if we run as fast as we can, we can’t outrun the dragon!”

“Instead of running like this, maybe it would be safer to hide in the mines?”

But a dwarf next to him was far less pessimistic:

“We should continue to act according to the plan of the Tauren Overlord and not change our mind midway.”

“This way, no matter what the outcome is, the responsibilities and powers are clear.”

The most optimistic among them was a goblin leader named Gobgolin.

He also supported everyone to do as Lu Heng said, and his tone was the most pious:

“Don’t be afraid, the great Minotaur Lord will definitely save us!”

“As long as we follow the Lord’s instructions, we will be saved!”

As if in response to his prayer, as soon as Gob Gaolin finished speaking, a purple light flashed in the sky.

The lightning-like light directly connected to the ground, forming a gorgeous portal.

“The Minotaur Overlord has really come to save us!”

The cat people in the mining area were instantly filled with hope.

Just as they had expected, Lu Heng returned like lightning when they were in the most dangerous moment.

However, as soon as Lu Heng walked out of the portal, he felt a dangerous breath coming from his nose.

Then he discovered that he was not the only lightning here.

The huge blue dragon instantly sensed Lu Heng’s presence and began to breathe without any desire to negotiate.

This breath was not fire, but a powerful lightning strike—not only had a longer range, but also a faster speed.

She took advantage of the moment when Lu Heng just walked out of the portal and launched her most powerful attack.

The lightning also hit Lu Heng directly, shocking him so much that he was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

Lu Heng was not unprepared for this fierce battle. After all, his opponent was at the same level as himself.

This means that the opponent has a considerable amount of psychic energy available for combat.

But it was really unexpected that the opponent had such a high tactical sense and hit him head-on as soon as he appeared on the stage.

Also surprised were some rat people who had long been pessimistic.

For a while, the mining area was filled with the words, “Rat, I think I saw the Minotaur Overlord being electrocuted!”

This made the determined dwarf angry:

“Why are you spreading fear and shaking the morale of the army? Are you all traitors sent by the Emperor?”

More ratmen also began to cut ties with the pessimistic ratmen, hoping to boost the morale of the mining area:

“Rat, I don’t believe that the Minotaur Overlord will be defeated. You must have confidence!”

But what really gave them confidence was certainly not empty encouragement, but Lu Heng’s own state.

Although he was hit hard by the electric shock, this killing move was no longer effective on Lu Heng now.

With a gentle word of “heal”, Lu Heng’s body, which had been completely burnt by electricity, regained its vitality.

This scene frightened the battle-hardened giant blue dragon so much that it almost somersaulted in the air.

In her impression, Tauren usually choose the pure warrior route.

Mage-type Tauren who can use space magic such as portals are a minority among the minority.

How come this Tauren seems to be the top-level restoration warlock?

Why does this Minotaur have so many functions?

Could it be that he has some special and powerful abilities…but he just hasn’t let her experience them carefully yet?

407. Which one do you choose?

At this moment, the giant blue dragon Talis, who had disappeared for a long time, was indeed deeply shocked by Lu Heng’s performance.
