Spring, summer, autumn and winter, time passes.

Before we knew it, five years had passed since the day of the armistice.

Five years, for a long-lived person like Otto, is sometimes just a time to sleep.

But five years, for an ordinary race like humans, whose current average life span is only forty or fifty years old, is really a time of vicissitudes and can change a lot of things.

Since Otto was not here, many things were decided by Sophia.

Now, Otto's territory has occupied huge areas such as the Eastern Empire, Feliton, Flanders, Dragonblight, and Norland Forest.

Coupled with the Skyrim Mountains, half of the land on the continent has come under Otto's rule.

Taking advantage of the rare calm, Sophia waved her hand, and the Soaring Dragon Empire was established!

Furthermore, with a wave of her hand, the half-elf girl personally drew the exclusive emblem of the Soaring Dragon Empire using Otto as a template.

Now, flags depicting soaring dragons have been planted in every territory of the Soaring Dragon Empire.

At the same time, these five years have also allowed many towns that were originally destroyed by man to regain their vitality.

Although there are still many gaps compared to the heyday, at least people will no longer starve to death.

Even underground tunnels are almost everywhere in the territory of the Soaring Dragon Empire. Although the laying of tracks is still continuing, even if carriages are used in the tunnels, the efficiency has been improved many times.

Shashalu, Gaz and Angelia are walking on the wall of a fortress at the junction of the territories of the Eastern Empire and the Western Empire.

Currently in the Soaring Dragon Empire, Otto has not returned yet, and Sophia doesn't pay much attention to worldly affairs, so most matters in the empire are settled by the three of them through discussion.

Shasharu is in charge of internal affairs, Gaz is in charge of military affairs, and Angelia is in charge of most things related to the human race.

In the current Soaring Dragon Empire, the proportion of humans is already very high, and it is also experiencing polarization.

Either hold back your bad intentions and think about making trouble, or live an honest and responsible life.

If the former violates the laws of the Soaring Dragon Empire and is caught, needless to say, the consequences will be miserable.

As for the latter, most of them are living a pretty good life. At least the lives of civilians are no different from before, and have even gotten a lot better.

Standing on the top of the fortress, Gaz and the others looked far away in the direction of the Western Empire, and then looked at each other. They knew clearly in their hearts that the war might be about to start again.

The Longteng Empire has returned to stability, and the border fortresses of the Western Empire are becoming increasingly lively.

Just from the amount of smoke coming from the opposite side every day, we can see that the number of people coming to the border from the Western Empire is indeed increasing.

But until Otto gives the order or the opponent takes the lead in attacking, Gaz and the others have to maintain the status quo.

Of course, the Soaring Dragon Legion and Angelia's human army had already gathered here, so they were prepared.

The calm before the storm seems to be short-lived.

On the other side, Otto still stayed in the stormy sea.

But now he no longer remembers how many uninhabited islands he has changed, and in the past five years, he has successfully verified his idea.

In the windy sea, near the land of red flames, a large and irregular-shaped island has appeared.

This huge island appeared nearby recently, and slowly developed from a small island part by part to what it is today.

Otto is lying in the center of the island now, and it was him who caused all of this.

During the five years he stayed in the stormy waters, he had been trying to gain control of these islands, and he had succeeded.

The method Otto used was the same as when he dealt with the floating city of Stania before.

After he succeeded, these islands felt like a part of his body, and under his will, he traveled across the ocean to come here and stay together.

The huge island that was finally formed was probably the size of an ordinary human kingdom in terms of area alone.

Now that my thoughts have been verified, there seems to be no need to stay in this place any longer.

And this dragon-made island should be placed here. If there is any accident later, this can also be the last safe haven.

With this thought, Otto fluttered his wings and took to the air. After saying hello to the Demon Flame Emperor, he left the Red Flame Land and flew towards the territory of the former Eastern Empire.

Not long ago, the Demon Flame Emperor had told Otto about the situation there, and Shashalu's messengers often ran here.

By the time Otto arrived at the border between the Eastern and Western Empires, the situation on both sides had become very tense.

Gaz and the others may not be able to see very clearly from a long distance, but Otto can see very clearly from high in the air.

Located on the border between the two sides, the fortress belonging to the Soaring Dragon Empire is called Piercing Castle. The entire fortress building is crazy and ferocious, covered with metal barbs.

The other side, belonging to the Western Empire, is called Fortress of Lima, a traditional military fortress dominated by thick and towering walls.

The elite soldiers, who are well-equipped, large in number and strictly ordered, are lined up like sculptures and stand upright on the city wall or inside the city.

If Otto remembers correctly, the most elite Scarlet Legion and Dragon Sleep Army in the Western Empire were almost wiped out five years ago.

But looking at the soldiers below, they seem to be no worse than the Scarlet Army and Longmian Army.

It is simply incredible that an army of this size and quality can be trained within five years.

At the same time, Otto also found a large number of hard workers in the Lima Fortress City, building a large number of portal-like buildings.

On the other side, there are many completed portals, and they are currently testing whether their functions are normal.

For some reason, both the soldiers standing upright like sculptures and the portals in the city gave Otto a very familiar feeling.

Otto, who had some doubts in his heart, flew back to the Blackstone Floating City and met Gaz and the others here.

Lying on a high platform covered with treasures, Otto listened to their reports about the recent situation.

It didn't take long for the discussion to focus on whether to go to war.

First of all, Gaz analyzed the current situation of the Dragon Empire and the situation of the Western Empire, compared the gains and losses, and then gave his opinion.

He believed that the Dragon Empire decided to launch an attack on the Western Empire as soon as possible to prevent any surprises.

To this, Otto's answer was very simple, he just nodded slightly.
Chapter completed!
