When the Star Wind Fleet cut through the waves of the Desolate Sea, two giant dragons, one black and one white, were soaring below the clouds in the sky.
Selina felt the cold air current in the sky and let out a refreshing scream. Then she turned her head and said to her companions: "It's unimaginable. We are almost reaching the Sea of Elises. White Moon, where Very close to Irollan!”
Silver Dragon's eyes flickered, and he said in a sad voice: "Elloland no longer exists. Now, it is the territory of the Machine Tribe."
Selina slowed down her flying speed and said comfortingly: "Bai Yue, don't be sad, we will take back Ashan one day and drive away those extraterrestrial invaders!"
Yinlong was silent for a while before he calmed down his restless heart.
"Salina, I've always been a little confused."
"Hmm, what's up?"
"The extraterrestrial invaders you just mentioned include descendants? That is...those players?"
Selina thought for a while and replied slowly: "Of course, they are indeed the invaders of Ashan. The number of Empire citizens who died at the hands of players is second only to the victims massacred by the Star-Shattered Legion."
Bai Yue said in confusion: "But our lord is also a descendant..."
Selina was startled, then laughed loudly and said: "There are good and bad players, too. I am referring to those descendants who do all kinds of evil and harm Ashan for their own benefit." She paused, "As for Li Ran, he He is the most responsible and risk-taking person I have ever met.”
Bai Yue looked surprised: "Aren't you still angry with him?"
"Oh? Why am I angry?"
"It's obviously what you told me last time!" Bai Yue became anxious, "You said you can no longer sign a dragon contract with Li Ran because he is a shameless descendant!"
"Did I say that?"
"certainly!"
"I... was just joking." Salina's voice suddenly had a hint of bitterness.
Bai Yue was baffled by Salina's answer.
But in the following time, no matter how she asked, Salina just remained silent.
Little did she know that Selina was falling into a special kind of melancholy.
Why can't I sign a dragon contract with him anymore?
In this way... Li Ran can pay more attention to her, right?
...

A wise prophet once said that a butterfly flapping its wings on the deserted sea may cause a tornado in the interior of the Holy Empire a few weeks later.
There are no butterflies on the deserted sea today, but there are two giant dragons.
But no matter how hard they flap their giant wings, they will not affect the flow of air in the Fengling Plains.
With the outbreak of the Broken Star War, the climate across Ashan was permanently changed.
Winter is getting longer and longer.
Until now, the entire north-central part of the empire is still shrouded in the cold climate of winter.
Fengling Plain is no exception.
The majestic Dragon Calling Mountains blocked part of the cold airflow from the north that was mixed with the aura of chaos, but it could not stop the further drop in the temperature in Starwind City.
Some citizens of Starwind City joked that they would freeze to death before being burned to death by the hellfire of the Talengard Demon.
However, in accordance with the "resurrection" plan for the integration of military production formulated by the lord, the Government Affairs Department paid special attention to the production of basic materials and made preparations for long-term cold resistance.
In terms of heating facilities and fuel, the Government Affairs Department mobilized workers to improve the furnaces in masonry houses to increase heating efficiency. The lumberyards across the territory provided sufficient firewood for various cities, villages and settlements.
As an important basic material production and processing base, distribution center, and military defense node, Huangmu Town assumes more responsibilities.
A large number of coke yards were built here, and their products could be used for iron-making, or they could be stored in large quantities and transported to various parts of the territory by cargo ships and horse-drawn carriages as high-quality fuel with higher calorific value instead of firewood.
Even, the Lord Lord has a whimsical idea.
He has sent a research task to the Magic Technology Department, asking Yibes to lead the research mages in Black Cliff and Hammerfell Town to find an alchemical formula or magic device that can continuously emit large amounts of heat as soon as possible, and at the same time, the cost must be can be borne by the income of the general public.
This is really embarrassing for Ms. Ibeth and her colleagues in the Magic Technology Department.
There are many alchemical formulas and magic energy devices that can create flames and heat, but there are no ready-made products that meet the requirements of continuous heat generation, safety, stability, and cheapness at the same time.
This is a daunting challenge and it will take time to see results.
In addition to ensuring heating, the Government Affairs Office must also consider how to feed the people in the territory.
When it comes to food issues, the lords and grand governors have been making long-term plans from the early days of Starwind City's founding.
In order to survive at first, Starwind City planted a large amount of fast-growing wild wheat.
Later, these wild wheats were brewed into "Starwind Beer" which was popular in the pioneering areas. Through trade differences, they obtained grain reserves that far exceeded the existing production.
With its huge trade surplus and strong gold reserves, Star Wind Leader can purchase large quantities of grain at low prices from the pioneering area and transport it to Fengling Plains via the secret river in Wilderness City.
However, although there are sufficient food reserves in Starwind Territory, food prices in the pioneering area are rising rapidly amid the pessimism that the end of winter is far away.
In areas such as the Falcon Principality and the Bull Principality, many poor people have died of cold and starvation due to rising food prices.
Although this situation has not happened in Xingfeng Leader, it is no longer possible to solve the long-term ration problem by purchasing food from outside.
In addition to establishing a grain reserve mechanism to ensure the supply of rations during emergencies, Starwind Territory also reformed the territory's grain production structure.
The survivors of the Buck Principality and the Crow Principality who fled from the occupied areas in the north had frequent exchanges with the dwarves in the Greenham Snow Mountains and mastered many cold-resistant livestock breeding techniques.
Under the severe cold winter conditions, the vast fertile soil of Fengling Plain cannot be cultivated, but there are breeding villages and farms everywhere.
Hairyhorn cattle and northern goats roam the snowy plains, gnawing on the withered turf and plant roots buried underground, providing the Starwind Territory with a rich supply of meat and a production of cold-warming furs.
In addition, even if a war breaks out in the Fengling Plains, resulting in a significant reduction in meat production, the Starwind Territory still has the last line of insurance.
That is the dark elf city in the underground world - Black Cliff.
Under the lord's precautions, Black Cliff has been continuously increasing the planting area of Shadow Fern since its return.
This ancient plant, which can grow in the lightless underground world and absorb the magic of shadows to thrive, was discovered and promoted in the hands of the master of dark alchemy, and became a pillar for the dark elves to survive their long history of suffering.
Now, it is not only an important raw material for the "Improved Shadow Bomb" product of the Ministry of Magic Science and Technology, but has also become a specialty of Black Cliff. It not only enriches the recipes of Star Wind Leaders, but also sells it to the development zone to earn a lot of foreign exchange. It has become the last line of insurance to ensure the supply of all-collar rations under extreme conditions.
Under the chill of everything on the surface, the magical place in the underground world around Black Cliff has become thousands of acres of fertile farmland filled with shadow ferns!
