The collar’s attribute description also improved the Hydra.
This wasn’t too different from the story told by the Goblin.
The only uncertainty now was the true strength of the Hydra.
An Orange hero might seem powerful in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, and subsequent rumors could have exaggerated them to being close to a Demigod.
What I feared was that the collar would be ineffective when the time came.
Seeing as the Goblin could not shed any more light on the matter, Fang Hao had no choice but to put away the collar and paid him for it.
A few sat at the table, eating and drinking, and talked about recent events.
Presently, the hottest topic within the Trade Alliance was still his battle with the Dragon Clan.
The lack of news regarding the Dragon Clan’s victory only fanned the flames of this topic.
After chatting for a while, Fang Hao took his leave with his companions, bidding farewell to the Goblin and returning to the Sea Tribe’s territory.

…
The giant ship underwent repairs at the port for four days.
During those four days, the treasures of gold and jade from Mount Dragon Peak were transported continuously into the hull through the Gate of the Worlds.
Then, from the ship’s hold, they were taken to the Trade Alliance’s shops on Rainbow Pearl Island, exchanged for Warfire Cards.
These Gold Coins directly depleted the Trade Alliance’s stock of Warfire Cards, and further exchanges would require some time.
After the final tally, the face value of the Warfire Cards reached fifty million, and due to a shortage of Warfire Cards, a massive amount of Gold Coins were piled up in the cargo hold.
“My lord, the number of Dragon Crystals has been counted, totaling 1,071,” Demitrija reported as he entered.
The rest of the supplies weren’t all that important.
But these Dragon Crystals, they were the most significant gain of all.
1,071 crystals, huh? Every ten could recruit 101 Skeleton dragons, so these thousand could recruit over ten thousand Skeleton dragons.
Damn, it’s true that great risk brings great reward.
The greater the risk, the greater the reward.
But could ten thousand Skeleton dragons really defeat the Dragon Queen?
Hard to say, and Fang Hao didn’t want to try. If he failed and lost them all, it’d indeed be difficult to turn things around.
“Store these Dragon Crystals separately.”
“Understood, my lord.”
Just as Demitrija was about to leave, Fang Hao continued, “How’s Beata these days?”
“Ms. Beata hasn’t rested these past few days, she’s been trying to persuade those dragons,” Demitrija said.
It’s been nearly a week now since Beata had done nothing but persist in convincing those deceased dragons from the Dragon Clan.
Truth be told, what she was doing was actually quite cruel for her.
“Let’s go see her. Once we’re finished here, we need to set off,” Fang Hao stood up.
He invoked the teleportation screen and appeared directly in Mount Dragon Peak’s square.
From a distance, he could see Beata sitting to one side, wiping away tears, her lonely figure looking quite pitiful.
Fang Hao approached and asked, “How’s it going? No effect?”
Beata looked up and, with a pitiful voice, said, “They’re calling me a traitor.”
Sigh.
These people had been killed and were clearly harboring immense anger.
Now Beata trying to convince them to submit to Fang Hao was bound to provoke some backlash.
“Let’s go together and have a look.”
“I’m not going over. The moment they see me, they just curse me, not listening to a word I say,” Beata said, hugging her knees.
“Yeah, it’s better if you don’t go,” Fang Hao nodded.
Just as he was about to leave, Beata grabbed his trouser leg, “Fang Hao, I beg you, please don’t kill them, okay?”
Fang Hao patted her head and said, “I’ll try my best.”
Without going directly, Fang Hao released a Demon Doll and walked towards the square.
Arriving at the Hero Altar, he saw Nelson sitting in the shade of a tree beside it, daydreaming.
“Scholar.”
“My lord.”
“Wake up the soul of a Dark Gold Hero, I need to have a word with him,” Fang Hao said outright.
Nelson nodded, carried out a simple ritual in front of the altar, and a pale blue dragon phantom appeared above it.
Souls are always pale blue, but in form, this was an Ice Dragon of light blue.
“Roar! Damn it, you filthy, vile, stinking Undead, you will pay for your deeds,” the Ice Dragon’s apparition started cursing as soon as it appeared.
Fang Hao stood still, letting it finish its tirade.
After all, the curses had nothing to do with him; he wasn’t Undead, nor was he aligned with the Undead.
Let it curse if it’s not tired.
When the Ice Dragon calmed down a bit, Fang Hao continued, “Let’s have a talk, just to go through the motions.”
“What do you mean? What do you want to talk about?” asked the Ice Dragon.
With limited time for communication, Fang Hao got straight to the point, “Actually, I would prefer to turn your corpses into Undead and use your bodies to fight against the Dragon Queen.”
“Despicable!”
“But Beata has begged me for a long time, even attempted suicide once, hoping I’d give you all another chance.”
The Ice Dragon’s pale blue soul trembled slightly, clearly affected by Beata’s actions.
“What is your relationship with her?”
“My prisoner, she promised to work for me for 50 years, and I’ll let her go once the time is up,” Fang Hao answered truthfully.
The Ice Dragon didn’t respond, as Beata had also mentioned the 50 years when she tried to persuade them.
At that time, everyone was angry, and their attitudes were not good.
For dragons, 50 years is but a nap.
Beata might really have agreed to this deal.
Without waiting for the Ice Dragon to speak again, Fang Hao said directly, “I’ll ask you one last time, submit or die, now you can choose.”
The Ice Dragon’s soul shook slightly again, its gaze fixated on him.
“Fine, I agree to work for you for 50 years…,” the Ice Dragon finally conceded.
“50 years were what Ms. Beata had negotiated for you before, but now the time is 100 years,” Fang Hao stated bluntly, upping the ante.
“You…”
“Hurry up, I’m not discussing this with you. Choose whether to accept or not.”
The Ice Dragon stared at him and with a shift of its gaze, acquiesced, “Fine, I agree…”
Fang Hao nodded and waved his hand slightly.
Nelson operated the altar and the Ice Dragon’s figure slowly faded away.
Even though Fang Hao was controlling a Demon Doll and technically wasn’t communicating ‘face to face,’ he could still perceive the other’s changes.
On the surface, it agreed, but perhaps once out, it would seek ways to kill him directly.
But it didn’t matter; even if this Blue Dragon truly submitted, he would not trust it.
Next, another elder from the Dragon Clan was swapped in, and from their appearance, one could easily identify it was the Green Dragon.
“In a word, submit or die…, now you can choose,” Fang Hao declared straightforwardly.
“You…”
After a brief exchange, the Green Dragon also agreed to surrender and serve him for 100 years.
Persuading two Dark Gold dragons had not required much effort.
The remaining Orange Dragon was even easier to handle.
Aside from the two who were unwilling to cooperate, the rest followed suit and chose submission.
Once confirmed, Fang Hao began directing everyone to take action and make the final preparations.
…
Another day passed.
Anglina, Supreme Saint Golden City.
In the simple great hall, the Dragon Queen sat on her throne, legs crossed.
This City of Undead seemed to have become part of her domain, except that she did not intervene in the lives of the Undead, and most of the military force was essentially recruited by her to do her bidding.
“Dragon Queen!” Amanda entered the great hall and bowed slightly.
“Mm, how is progress?” the Dragon Queen asked nonchalantly after a glance.
Amanda replied, “Progress is quite smooth. The Gold Coins and treasures brought out are nearing two million in number. The soldiers say there are still many more inside, and it will take some time to transport them all out.”
“Heh, I didn’t expect this transmigrator to be so wealthy,” the Dragon Queen remarked before continuing, “Have you found any trace of my daughter?”
Mentioning her daughter, a rare flicker of anxiety shone through the Dragon Queen’s eyes.
Amanda shook her head, “Many buildings in the city are severely damaged, and no related clues have yet been discovered.”
“Sigh! Keep searching, there must be something left in this city,” the Dragon Queen expressed.
Before Amanda could respond,
A Dragon Clan elder hurried into the hall, speaking gravely, “Something seems amiss!”
“What’s wrong now?” the Dragon Queen asked, her attitude slightly unfriendly.
“We’ve lost contact with Mount Dragon Peak!”
The Dragon Queen’s brows furrowed, her eyes reflecting a mix of confusion and incomprehension, “What do you mean by lost contact?”
“I’ve been trying to reach Mount Dragon Peak using the Sound-transmitting Shell for the past two days, but there has been no response,” the elder paused briefly before cautiously adding, “Could something have happened at Mount Dragon Peak?”
“Hmph! What could possibly go wrong at Mount Dragon Peak?”
With two Dark Gold dragons stationed there, plus so many colossal dragons, how could anything happen?
Even if a significant power took advantage of the situation to attack Mount Dragon Peak, it was impossible for there to be no news whatsoever.
“Still, the fact that there has been no reply for so long might mean, even if there is no danger, that some peculiar situation has arisen,” the elder suggested.
The Dragon Queen found the point reasonable and felt a sense of unease grow within her.
Having left and taken so many troops with her, what if something had indeed happened?
It would be terrible if she hadn’t found her daughter and an issue had arisen at Mount Dragon Peak.
“Bring the scroll, I’ll go back to check. The rest of you continue to handle the matters here,” the Dragon Queen decided, not at ease.
“Understood.” The elder nodded and produced a scroll bound to the coordinates of Mount Dragon Peak from within his robes.
Just as the Dragon Queen was about to tear the scroll to leave,
Amanda urgently interjected, “Dragon Queen…”
“Mm? What is it?”
“Dragon Queen, would you like for us to prepare a return scroll for you? If there’s nothing amiss at Mount Dragon Peak, it would be good to return here,” Amanda suggested promptly.
The Dragon Queen paused, finding the suggestion sensible, “You are quite thorough. Prepare it, and make it quick.”
“Yes.” Amanda replied, turning to depart.
…
Mount Dragon Peak.
At the wide yet low-ceilinged factory within the hero altar on the mountainside.
Two enormous dragons, one blue and one green, were pinned to the ground by the four sisters, each with a dark iron-colored collar fastened around its neck.
Click—clack-clatter!
The lock rings tightened, producing a sound like gears turning.
It was as if some intricate mechanical structure was rapidly activating inside.
[The Sota’s Cold Collar has been activated.]
[The subject’s thoughts will be monitored by the ‘collar,’ and any ‘negative’ thoughts about the leader of this force or its members will be punished by the collar.]
[The leader of this force can remove the collar.]
Hearing the system notification confirmed the device was indeed effective.
The Law Mark altered the fundamental thinking of the target, while this collar indeed monitored thoughts.
Everything was aimed at thoughts, seeming even more powerful than modern technology.
Fang Hao, controlling the Demon Doll, looked up at the massive dragons.
“Release it!” Fang Hao pointed at the Blue Dragon nearby.
The two sisters restraining it let go, and the Blue Dragon raised its head, glancing around before looking down at the Skeleton below.
It was clear that this Skeleton was the leader of these people.
Fury and hatred flickered in its eyes.
In the next instant, its chest heaved rapidly, and a terrifying energy began to gather.
Roar~!
