78. Important Decisions
After dinner, the two went to the office to discuss future plans.
Reina took out a folder secured with a clip from under the desk.
Opening the folder, she spread out the papers inside on the desk—it was the compiled information she had commissioned the Knight Order members to gather.
“The Twelve Great Dragons.”
The Twelve Great Dragons were a system created by Calysia. Each had their own authority and responsibilities, but their power wasn’t as extensive as the Four Demon Moons. They were considered mid-tier.
Many important positions in the dragon race required consideration of combat power and rank. Therefore, the existence of the Twelve Great Dragons, to a certain extent, fueled the competitive spirit within the dragon race.
But two of the Twelve Great Dragons had questionable loyalties, closely associated with Crimson Scale, and had now been dismissed and sent away by Reina.
During this time, she had identified two dragons from humble backgrounds but with rich experience, the adopted daughters of one of the Twelve Great Dragons, “Green Dragon,” and recommended them for promotion.
Of course, Reina didn’t change the “survival of the fittest” system. She wasn’t arrogant enough to overturn the entire nation.
After all, due to their culture and inherent order, the dragon race’s combat ability could be described as “terrifying.”
There were no “slay the evil dragon” adventure quests in this game.
Because, in reality, the dragons were well-trained, proficient in magic, and possessed immense physical strength, their bodies powered by hearts like geothermal energy sources.
They had some of the most brilliant commanders in the world, rarely making fatal mistakes in battle. Any protagonist group facing them had the “save file” as their trump card, and defeat was only a matter of time.
Any random level 60 dragon could single-handedly destroy a city in the real world.
According to Reina’s memories, an army of 200 evil dragons led by a Great Dragon would require three max-level leaders and three level 100 humans to defeat, and even then, with the risk of heavy losses if not handled properly.
She never thought that one day, such an army would be in her hands.
It was like having stats from the story mode in a PvP game. No matter how many “SSR” characters the opponent had, they were just for show.
The biggest problem of the dragon race wasn’t their military, technology, leadership, intelligence, or any of those things, nor was it the proportion of civilian roles, combat power, or strategies.
There were simply too few dragons in this world.
As a race occupying the eastern continent and possessing the mobile fortress “Silver Dragon Airspace,” their population was only one percent of humanity’s, one-fiftieth of the orcs’, one-thousandth of the goblins’, and one ten-millionth of the insect race’s.
And there were two solutions.
First, hire or enslave other races as soldiers.
Second, lay more eggs.
A simple problem.
“Which decision does Calysia think is better?”
Reina subconsciously asked.
But Calysia didn’t answer immediately, shaking her head as if pondering something. Seeing this, Reina could only skip this question and continue her analysis.
Although in terms of the current situation, the gap between the orcs and the blood race was appalling,
In reality, with her abilities, supporting the weaker side was the wisest choice.
“Eisentapha Fortress, this place…”
The meeting place Sophia had agreed upon with Calysia.
This location was already known to the orcs.
To avoid alerting the enemy, Reina hadn’t sent any troops to scout the area.
She guessed the orcs’ thoughts were different.
But Reina believed she had a clear understanding of this battle.
She opened the red section of the folder and took out a sheet of paper listing personnel information.
On it were the names of all the members of the orcish vanguard.
—Reina had compiled it based on her memories.
If a battle were to break out, Reina could basically predict who the opponent would send—this was the confidence of someone who had led humanity to victory hundreds of times.
She placed the list in the top left corner and then took out the internal list of the human Church of Light, placing it on the right… along with the files on the Twelve Great Dragons and the blood race.
Like a novel method of comparing fighting crickets.
Under the leadership of the Church of Light, humanity was gradually rising.
The blood race, barely holding on under Queen Sophia, was the main force against the orcs.
The dragon race was waiting in the wings, ready to strike.
In the past, Reina would be sitting in the human camp, overseeing the overall situation.
And now, she never thought she would be strategizing beside Calysia.
Even more interesting was that Reina felt this battle was even more difficult than before.
The orcs were stronger than before.
They appeared to be a single race, but in reality, they were a ferocious group of countless savage races gathered together.
After obtaining the Goddess’s treasures, the Beast King’s influence had expanded even further than in the highest difficulty, commanding a larger army, with endless and unpredictable tactics and fighting styles.
It wasn’t something the blood race could handle alone.
On the other hand, Calysia, after her “precognitive” actions, had indeed dealt with some important matters, saving Reina a lot of effort in cleaning up Crimson Scale’s remnants. She fully supported Reina’s actions, no matter what she did.
But that was it!
Thinking of this, Reina wanted to scold Calysia again.
But the Dragon King was just a young girl, how could she have any malicious intentions?
No, she should be called a “hypnosis strategist” young girl.
But wasting this ability, comparable to “foreseeing the future,” entirely on searching for the protagonist was simply absurd.
So, Reina gave Calysia a resentful look.
But she found that Calysia was also looking at her—What’s she planning?
“Reina, I have something very serious to discuss with you.”
“…”
Hearing this, Reina became serious.
Although Calysia was a young girl, she was never careless in her areas of expertise. This was also why Reina discussed matters with Calysia.
After all, in terms of political affairs, the gap between them was like the difference between years of experience and training and playing a game for a few months. Reina didn’t think she could easily surpass someone else’s expertise with less effort.
—She wasn’t arrogant.
Plus, although Calysia was usually frivolous, she would become serious when it came to work.
Therefore, she decided to listen carefully to Calysia’s thoughts.
What profound insights did this ruler, who had governed the entire Dragon Realm for many years, have?
Calysia looked at Reina seriously:
“Little Vassal, what do you think is the most important problem we need to solve right now? Actually, it’s the issue of reproduction.”
Reina didn’t answer, intending to just listen.
But she never expected Calysia’s face to grow redder and redder as she spoke, even lowering her head and fidgeting with her cute little hands, looking nervous, even wrapping her dragon tail around Reina’s calf.
“Reina, the dragon race values reproduction very much…”
“The incubation of dragon eggs takes a long time, and the number of dragons who want children is gradually decreasing…”
“So, let’s have more children, okay?”
Reina really wanted to travel back in time 30 seconds and slap herself for deciding to listen seriously.
