Chapter 122: Chapter122-The Greedy Dragon’s Rescue

Seeing Elizabeth’s excited expression, Leo shook his head helplessly.

Currently, Dalton’s standing army had reached ten million, equipped with the finest enchanted weapons and alchemical devices, and even possessed a starry sky fleet composed of a star realm sailing ship and an arcane destroyer.

What they lacked was simply time to enhance the average strength of the soldiers.

However, if Elizabeth were given more time, a steel torrent capable of instilling fear into the neighboring star domains would undoubtedly take shape.

Moreover, Leo still commanded a hidden force.

These individuals were his real trump card. They didn’t handle any trivial matters, and their only mission was to exponentially increase their strength under nearly infinite resource supply.

Their progress had even surpassed core generals like Aragis and others.

But this was Leo’s deepest-hidden power, and he would never use them unless absolutely necessary.

At that moment, Albert suddenly spoke.

“President, leave the Arcane Star Domain to me. I know everything there is to know about that place.”

Wendell also stepped forward.

“I’m willing to personally go to the Emerald Starfield. I can guarantee that we will bring it into Dalton’s order without a single drop of blood being spilled.”

Upon hearing this, Leo nodded.

In both of these starfields, Albert and Wendell held unmatched prestige and influence.

Their involvement would not only accomplish the goal with minimal cost but also preserve the stability and potential for development within the star domains.

In fact, unifying this star domain group was more of a strategic exercise for Dalton, now with growing strength.

It was just the first step toward reaching the Starborn Sea.

“After you two take care of your respective star domains, you won’t need to return. Go directly to the domain corridor border of the Emerald Starfield and keep a close watch for any unusual movements. Await my next command.”

Leo ordered.

“Understood, Your Excellency!”

Both responded in unison.

For them, executing Leo’s orders to perfection was all that was required.

Before long, the tasks were clearly assigned.

The Time Tower linking Dalton and New Dalton would maintain low-power stable operation to ensure smooth communication and personnel movements.

Although maintaining this ultra-long-distance channel consumed enough mana stones to buy a small city each day, this resource expenditure was just a drop in the ocean for Leo.

It was nothing more than a drop in the bucket!

Soon, a massive population migration began in Dalton’s main continent.

Many sharp-eyed guild leaders and ancient families in the city seized the opportunity and moved their entire families to New Dalton, which symbolized infinite possibilities.

Of course, some forces who were deeply attached to their homeland or had tangled interests chose to stay behind.

New Dalton meant a new beginning, new markets, and a new power system.

For individuals and factions that were limited in their development in the main continent, this was undoubtedly a chance to change their fate.

However, gaining residence and business licenses in New Dalton came with its own price.

A month later, the massive population migration gradually settled.

New Dalton Town was now filled with people from different regions and races.

Various accents, clothing, and cultures converged here, revealing the early shape of what would become a future interstellar metropolis!

On the same day, the massive magical protective barrier that had long shrouded New Dalton silently faded away.

Leo dispatched two powerful figures, secretly cultivated by him and already at the Sanctuary Lord rank, to guard the city’s main spaceports and land entrances.

This move was like throwing a stone into a calm lake.

The two Sanctuary Lord rank experts did not hide their immense divine power, which manifested as towering energy columns, lighting up a good portion of Alpha Starfield’s night sky.

This sight immediately sent shockwaves through all the forces within the star domain!

The name Dalton, with an unprecedented force, had officially entered the consciousness of every intelligent life form in Alpha Starfield!

Meanwhile, at the border of Alpha Starfield’s long-established powerful force, the Clawclash Empire,

The empire’s army suddenly clashed with a mysterious army whose identity was unclear, but whose equipment was extraordinarily advanced.

Rumors spread that the Clawclash Empire’s front-line legions had been beaten back in defeat, suffering heavy losses!

Upon observing these astonishing changes, the rulers of Alpha Starfield’s forces secretly gasped.

The dawn of a turbulent era had already begun.

Dalton Town.

President’s Mansion.

The sound of a sharp knock came from the heavy oak door.

“Enter.”

Leo’s voice came from inside.

The door was gently pushed open just a crack, and Lilith’s head peeked inside cautiously.

“Daddy, did you call for me?”

Seeing his daughter’s expression, Leo smiled.

“My dear Lilith, I’m not calling for you this time, but for Fiona.”

“Fiona?”

A hint of confusion flashed in Lilith’s deep blue eyes.

This lazy dragon, who spent most of her time curled up on her arm sleeping or asking for shiny gems and energy crystals, what could her father want with her?

Was it that he thought she was too lazy and wanted to move her away from her side?

The thought of possibly losing her companion, even though Fiona could be unreliable at times, made Lilith feel reluctant and worried.

She hesitated before speaking, her voice soft.

“Daddy, did Fiona do something wrong?”

Leo chuckled and reassured her,

“Don’t worry, she hasn’t done anything wrong. But haven’t you noticed that Fiona’s condition has been a little off lately?”

“Off?”

Lilith blinked, thinking for a moment.

“No, she’s just been sleeping a bit more deeply than usual.”

Leo shook his head, his expression growing serious.

“For an Astral Ancient Dragon, long periods of deep sleep aren’t laziness, but rather a self-protection mechanism against energy overload.”

“The high-purity energy Fiona has been absorbing lately has been too much for her to handle.”

This couldn’t entirely be blamed on Fiona, as Dalton’s resources were so abundant, and Lilith almost spoiled her.

Various treasures infused with starborn power and elemental essence were practically in unlimited supply.

“Now, the energy she’s accumulated within her body is approaching the limit of what her bloodline can bear. Her digestion speed can’t keep up with her intake. If this continues, I’m afraid…”

Leo didn’t finish, but the gravity in his eyes said everything.

If he hadn’t keenly sensed the stagnation in Fiona’s soul, this greedy dragon might have fallen into a deep slumber from energy collapse in her sleep!

Saying this, Leo extended his hand.

With a gentle pull, he drew Fiona from Lilith’s arm.

At that moment, Fiona hung limply in the air, her scales dim and lifeless, as if her vitality was being devoured by an invisible force.

Upon seeing this, Lilith finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

“Daddy! Fiona, she…”

“Don’t worry, I’m here!”

Leo’s voice was steady.

“All she needs is a little external help to unblock her energy pathways.”

“Unblock?”

Lilith hadn’t fully understood.

Leo didn’t say more. This kind of thing may sound simple, but in reality, it was far from easy.

A powerful light erupted from his palm, and he pressed it against Fiona’s curled dragon body.

“Raaaah——!!!”

A roar, filled with both pain and fury, erupted from Fiona’s throat.

The sound reverberated throughout the entire President’s Mansion!
