Chapter 527: Chapter 338: Opposition, Time Crystal (3)
"Very well."
Ao Ying had no plans to occupy the Sinking Star Abyss, and simply used a destructive plundering method to empty the city. Su Yu bid farewell the next day and continued to pursue the fleeing Desolate Beasts.
Five days later, Su Yu, who had now reached level 254, returned to Beiming Dragon City.
Ao Qing had already submitted a memorial to the Dragon King to appoint him as the Grand Commander of Beiming Dragon City, but the appointment had not yet been issued.
However, Ao Run had already begun to familiarize himself with the situation in Beiming Dragon City, indicating that there should be no problem with the appointment.
It was quite normal, as Beiming Dragon City was the inheritance of the Dragon Sixth Prince. The forces of each Dragon Prince operated independently, and the Dragon King had no authority to interfere in the inheritance decisions. As long as Ao Qing approved, submitting to the Dragon King was merely a procedural step.
Due to procedural restrictions, Su Yu could not yet exercise authority, but he could get an early understanding of the specific situation in Beiming Dragon City.
Su Yu stayed for two days and then fully understood the inheritance of the Dragon Sixth Prince.
It was beyond his expectations that the inheritance of the Dragon Sixth Prince was stronger than he imagined.
Originally, his impression of the Dragon Sixth Prince’s inheritance was ten or so Celestial Immortal level commanders, several billion naval forces, with only just over ten million elite naval forces exceeding level 200, dozens of trained Tier Four Desolate Beasts, and two Tier Five Desolate Beasts comparable to True Immortals.
But in fact, the Dragon Sixth Prince’s inheritance included Beiming Dragon City and one-third of the North Sea, located to the east of the North Sea.
The total naval force was 4.5 billion, with 12 Celestial Immortal level Demon Immortal commanders, approximately 16 million elite naval forces exceeding level 200.
It should be noted that besides these 12 Demon Immortal commanders, there were also 8 non-commander Demon Immortals in Beiyao Dragon City, totaling 20 Demon Immortals.
And 42 Tier Four Desolate Beasts of varying levels, along with two Tier Five Desolate Beasts comparable to True Immortals.
One is the Eight Desolates Dragon Turtle with a level as high as 498, a legendary template, and was the former Dragon Sixth Prince’s mount.
The other, with a level of only 459, is a crocodile dragon, a terrifying template, which emerged from a giant sea eye near Beiming Dragon City. The former Dragon Sixth Prince took more than a decade to tame it.
All in all, Beiming Dragon City possesses a total of 62 Celestial Immortal combat powers and two True Immortal combat powers.
Less than one-third of Beiming Dragon City’s peak period.
From this, it can be seen that the true strength of the Dragon Race is definitely not just the little over two hundred Celestial Immortals that Su Yu previously thought.
A mere Beiming Dragon City can muster 62 Celestial Immortal combat powers, and if it were at its peak, it could probably muster 150 Celestial Immortal combat powers. And Dragon Castle, which is stronger than the peak Beiming Dragon City, could easily be three to five times more powerful.
Along with the strength of several other Dragon Princes, rallying over a thousand Celestial Immortal combat strengths from the entire Cyan Immortal Domain is absolutely possible.
Additionally, with several player civilizations joining the Dragon Race camp, they can add a few hundred more Celestial Immortals without any pressure.
Currently, Beiming Dragon City is controlled by a leadership coalition of 12 commanders, with Ao Qing as the First Commander and Xie Zilei as the Seventh Commander.
Moreover, the Eleventh Commander Ao Bai and the Twelfth Commander Ao Han are the two sons of the Dragon Sixth Prince, which means they are Ao Run’s two brothers, both with Celestial Immortal cultivation.
However, Ao Qing’s records indicate that they do not possess high aptitude, nor do they have the ability or potential to command respect.
After reading the information, Su Yu has a preliminary understanding of Beiming Dragon City’s strength.
The biggest problem with Beiming Dragon City right now is that there is no True Immortal level True Dragon holding the fort.
There is True Immortal level combat power, with two Tier Five Desolate Beasts, but the Eight Desolates Dragon Turtle is slow-moving, best suited for guarding home.
The Tier Five Crocodile Dragon is more agile than the dragon turtle, but it is, after all, a Desolate Beast, and the crocodile dragon’s bloodline is not very strong, only a terrifying template. Among its peers, it is not considered powerful, let alone facing a True Immortal who has passed the celestial tribulation.
The current Beiming Dragon City is well-defended but lacks offensive power, missing a sufficiently strong pillar to stabilize the sea.
"At least it once was a True Immortal level power; its foundation is decent. Once I become the Grand Commander, I can leverage Dragon City’s military power to wage campaigns on all fronts to help me refine more Demon Immortal Desolate Beasts. In no more than twenty or thirty years, I can raise the Supreme Transformation Dragon level to 399."
"By that time, there is a high probability that I will have reclaimed the Stabilizing Sea Pearl. With the attributes enhanced by the ancient dragon bloodline and Devouring Heaven and Earth, overcoming the True Immortal Tribulation shouldn’t be a problem."
"The Red Dragon progresses quickly, and its true form won’t be slow either. In a maximum of ten years, it will be ready to undergo the Celestial Human Tribulation."
"Perfect."
However, the good mood didn’t last a day before he received bad news from Ao Qing.
"The application has been blocked."
Su Yu immediately asked:
"Didn’t the Dragon King agree? Wasn’t it said that the Dragon King wouldn’t interfere?"
Ao Qing came over to explain:
"The Dragon King didn’t interfere, but when the Dragon King convened the three Dragon Princes and important dragon sons and grandsons to discuss the matter, two Dragon Princes and more than two-thirds of the dragon sons and grandsons opposed it."
"So the Dragon King didn’t agree?"
"No, the Dragon King invited you and Ao Run to attend the meeting."
"What’s the point of attending?"
Su Yu said unceremoniously:
"Didn’t you tell me earlier that as long as you agree, the Dragon King won’t interfere, and now you’re telling me so many dragon sons and grandsons oppose it?"
Ao Qing said solemnly:
"You needn’t worry. As long as two-thirds of the twelve commanders in Beiming Dragon City agree, whether Dragon Castle opposes it or not is irrelevant."
"So how many commanders agree now?"
"Already more than two-thirds."
"Will any commander change their mind?"
"This isn’t child’s play; resolutions that have been passed cannot be changed at will."
"What if the Dragon King wants you to vote again? Once the Dragon King makes a decision, it’s impossible to oppose it."
....
Ao Qing fell silent.
