Chapter 198 Subduing the Lizardmen

Seeing that the situation on the ground had deteriorated because of his younger brother, Tiga had no choice but to bite the bullet and launch an attack on Agreed.

To everyone's surprise, Agreed merely glanced at them with disdain before unleashing a modified tenth-tier spell, 'Gravity Manipulation.' Forty times the gravity instantly crushed the lizardmen and their dinosaurs to the ground. The immense pressure caused most of the enemies to suffer broken bones and nearly die on the spot. It was only because the lizardmen were physically strong that they survived; otherwise, a human would likely have been reduced to a pile of minced meat and beyond dead.

The gravitational field didn't last long and quickly disappeared. After all, Agreed wanted his men, not a pile of corpses, so he controlled his strength carefully. Agreed picked up the fallen Tiga and continued, "Now you only have two choices. The first choice is that you submit to me, lead your people to work for me, and live a good life; the second choice is that you and your people disappear completely from this desolate southern border and become fertilizer here. Think about it. I'll give you thirty seconds to consider. Answer carefully."

Without a second thought, Tiga shouted, "My great master, please accept the surrender of the lizardmen. We are willing to repay your mercy today with our lives."

Agreed looked at the dinosaur-man in his hand with some surprise, then laughed heartily, "I like you, decisive and clever little guy. On behalf of Southern Xinjiang, I welcome you to join us."

Afterwards, Agreed used magic to heal the dinosaurs and lizardmen. Then he led the lizardmen army back to his stronghold in the southern border. Yorick and the others saw that Agreed had conquered the lizardmen tribe in no time, and once again bowed down to Agreed and praised him to the extreme.

Agreed temporarily settled the lizardmen, but the sudden surge in population drastically increased the food burden. Moreover, most lizardmen were carnivores, and even if they were at their worst, they loved to eat high-protein foods like insects. Therefore, meat became a huge problem they had to solve.

Agreed then summoned Yorick, Warwick, Otto, Pugin, and Tiga, and announced, "Our tribe is now facing a serious meat shortage. The wild boars on the ranch can no longer support our daily needs. Therefore, for our benefit, I have decided to launch an attack on the grasslands where the centaurs reside! Now, I would like to ask you, what difficulties do you have?"

Yorick quickly shouted, "Without my supreme master, the Jackal Clan is always ready to conquer and plunder for you."

Tiga followed up, saying, "The Lizardmen race is eager to prove our worth to you, Master."

Otto chimed in, "My flying monsters are willing to share their master's burdens."

Pujin replied woodenly, "Just tell us who we want to fight, and the troll race will fight to the death."

So the monster army of the southern border came out in full force and marched towards the eastern grasslands, and the centaurs also recalled the fear of being dominated by monsters on that day.

……

"Those damned monsters! Little Khan, let's go quickly before they catch up."

At this moment, a strong centaur helped their young lord up and looked at the distant firelight, cursing. Just now, their camp had been destroyed by the monster army that came out from the southern border. Although their Khan led the strongest warriors of the tribe to fight to the death, they were destroyed by the dragon breath of the chimeras in a single encounter.

So he had no choice but to flee with the Khan's son and seek help from another nearby centaur clan.

But to his surprise, a rapid sound of hooves suddenly came from directly in front of him. A group of centaurs, wielding bows and arrows, unleashed a volley of arrows, turning him and the little khan following behind him into pincushions. The strong centaur pointed at the other centaurs in resentment and whimpered, "Traitors!"

The centaurs severed the little Khan's head and then carried both heads back to Yorick to report. It turned out that on the fourth day after the monster army entered the grasslands, some centaur clans had wisely surrendered to Agred's monster army, bringing with them the heads of their fellow centaurs.

After all, the grasslands were the centaurs' home ground, so Yorick readily accepted the surrender of these local guides. With their help, the Dragontooth tribe swept through the entire eastern grasslands, and the monster army completely unified the centaur grasslands in just about a month.

The meat problem was also solved. The large number of cattle and sheep on the grasslands, as well as the livestock foundation built up by the centaur tribe over many years, allowed the Dragon Tooth Tribe to supply the army with meat in a steady stream soon after they took over.

After that, Agred's monster army finally settled down and began to develop and multiply further, but Agred's ambitions did not stop there. His next plan was to annex the oasis forest, and before that, he needed his troops to be properly equipped.

So Agreed set his sights on the mineral veins on the grasslands, and to mine there, he needed a group of experienced and hardworking helpers.

So Agreed used a forbidden spell to release his soul outward to directly probe the entire planet, in order to find and select the species that met his requirements.

Soon, Agreed, who was in a dozing state, found the race he needed. He suddenly opened his huge eyes and looked into the distance with a wicked smile, saying, "So that's where it is. And there are even pseudo-Titans. How interesting."

Then, Agreed tore open a portal in front of him and arrived at a mountain range on another continent. Most of this continent was desert, and only this mountain range was a place where life could survive. After arriving here, Agreed spread his wings and flew to the top of a mine and looked inside.

At this moment, a group of gnolls were supervising the kobold miners working diligently below the mine. If the kobolds paused even slightly, they would be brutally beaten by the gnolls. The gnoll leader angrily berated the kobolds, "Hurry up, all of you! Don't even think about slacking off! If you don't dig up something valuable today, the great 'Son of the Earth,' Lord Alhes, will chop you all to pieces and feed you to the dire wolves! Don't even think about slacking off, you lowly little brats, you must..."

But before he could finish his threats, a huge ice spike fell from the sky with a soft thud, pinning the gnoll to the ground. Then several more ice spikes came, accurately and swiftly pinning all the gnolls to the ground. They didn't even have a chance to scream before they died inexplicably on their job.

Then Agreed used a shrinking spell to shrink his dragon body so that he could barely squeeze into the cave. Upon seeing this, the kobolds in the cave stopped what they were doing. After seeing Agreed, the kobolds began to kowtow and shout to him with fanaticism, shouting in dragon language: "It's a dragon! Our true master has come to save us!"
