Land of Golden, Harvest Plain.

This grassland has numerous salt lakes and open-pit mines within the Dragon Group Territory, and adjacent pastures also have the largest Beast Park in the entire territory.

This land is rich in resources, with lush water and grass, and is referred to by the herdsmen within the territory as the Harvest Land favored by the Divine Spirit, hence the name Harvest Plain.

In this rather important place, the Empire stationed a large number of armed forces, but the kobold guard legion of the past has been replaced by those beastmen.

The former Beastman Alliance, the Redemption Corps that surrendered to the Dragon Group Warriors, had shed much blood and sacrificed lives in past wars to earn their freedom. After the war, only over eight thousand warriors remained out of more than twenty thousand of the Redemption Army.

These over eight thousand Beastman Warriors were granted the promised freedom by the Giant Dragon Lords, but when they returned to their tribes on the plains, they brought their family members back into the Dragon Group’s territory.

They brought along the remaining old, weak, women, and children, and re-swore their allegiance to the giant dragons, thus being integrated into the legitimate legions, stationed and defended on the plains, guarding the Dragon Group’s important resource areas and monitoring other developments on the plains.

Command tents were laid out in the stern military camp, with many iron-armored beastmen patrolling the surroundings. In the largest training ground within the camp, many vigorous Beastman Warriors were bare-chested, engaging in mutual contests.

Gulal, who was awarded the position of Beastman Legion War Commander, was a burly beastman, with protruding tusks making him appear particularly fierce, and his robust body covered with scars, showing the glorious achievements of this warrior.

However, in the calm eyes, it seemed that this beastman was not merely controlling the entire Beastman Legion through his sheer strength.

In fact, it was initially this guy who led the beastman warriors returning to the plains to regroup, and then chose to return under the banner of the Dragon Group.

Although the Land of Golden has gradually been integrating under the rule of the giant dragons, these beastmen were still somewhat repelled and found it difficult to truly integrate into the concept of the Golden People in a short time.

Beastman Warlord Gulal also understood this point well, so he proactively requested a change of station, deploying his legion on the plains.

In his heart, he thought that along with the passage of time, the impact brought by the beastman kingdom’s invasion would also fade, and by then, it would be the right time for them beastmen to take the initiative.

In the distant sky, there was a black dot rapidly approaching the beastmen’s stationed camp. The capable Gulal could tell at a glance that it was not the eagles and vultures released by the casters wandering around, but a bat-winged flying dragon.

Although in the mountains inhabited by the Dragon Group, those bat-winged flying dragons had proliferated to nearly a thousand over the years, apart from the warriors of the Flying Dragon Battle Corps, only those holding important positions within the entire territory could tame a flying dragon as a mount.

In principle, Gulal, as the Beastman Legion Warlord, barely qualified, but Gulal chose not to tame a flying dragon; newly arrived beastmen should choose to keep a low profile.

Gulal took a step toward his main tent, standing in front quietly, waiting.

Sure enough, on the back of the flying dragon was the magical armor that all territory warriors envied. No, if according to those scholars, what these Imperial Guard Warriors wore should be called magical armor.

The armor, crafted from the hardest mountain steel in the World of Icaria mixed with magic metal, looked extraordinarily heavy and sturdy but weighed only six hundred pounds overall.

The magical armor was nearly fully enclosed, but its structures were flexible enough for free assembly and disassembly.

The armor, dyed dark red, not only gained sufficient power from the magic core but in battle, the Imperial Guard Warriors could freely choose when to activate the magic shield with their will, also providing a stronger power boost.

The Red Dragon Eye Badge from the chest of this magnificent armor attested to the unquestioned loyalty of the Imperial Guard Warriors, and the light of the Holy Hall would fall upon these warriors when needed.

This Imperial Guard Warrior wore a dragon-faced horned helmet resembling a giant dragon’s head. The eyes in the dragon-faced helmet were carved from magic crystal stones, enhancing the guards’ perception and vision.

When necessary, the core of the magical armor could inject magic power through the rune passages inside the armor into these crystals, activating the magic runes inscribed on the crystals, ensuring these Imperial Guard Warriors are neither obscured by ordinary darkness and fog nor disturbed by low-tier spells.

Moreover, the wrist cannons equipped near the elbow of the magical armor could be actively triggered by the Imperial Guard Warriors, injecting a large amount of magic power instantly, unleashing extremely dangerous and lethal magic light cannons.

All these luxurious equipment made Gulal, the war commander, drool over the armor worn by the Imperial Guard Warriors. These most formidable warriors of the Imperial Guard are always the first to be equipped with new products developed by the scholars within the territory.

Nowadays, the armor worn by the beastman warriors are the products discarded by the Imperial Guard Warriors, and only the intact ones left behind after being selected by major legions would reach these fostered beastman warriors.

The massive body of the bat-winged flying dragon landed lightly on the ground, producing only a faint sound, demonstrating its excellent bodily control capabilities.
