also a dragon, but a female dragon.

Unlike Nidhog and Basil, this dragon named Martina had not reached the demigod level, only at the ninth tier.

However, due to her strong bloodline talent, her combat power was not inferior to some weaker demagods.

Martina, you're back.

How is the situation over there? Nit straightened up slightly, clearly surprised by the return of the female dragon.

Don't mention it.

We still can't break in.

Those monsters are too strong.

It's difficult to break through all at once.

Unless you send over a few of the top legions to help me, we might be able to get in.

Martina shook her head, looking expectantly at Nid Hog.

Don't even think about it.

The frontline legions have their own tasks.

They can't spare time to help you.

Nidhog quickly shook his head and advised, "If you can't break in, then just take your time.

Consider it training.

We're not in a hurry.

We have plenty of time.

" After staying here for a while, Nidth Hog realized that in the short term, it was unrealistic for them to completely occupy this world.

Even though in recent years, with the Empire's help, the dragon's domain had developed rapidly, increasing the number of dragons and many dragon descendants undergoing transformations.

In terms of overall combat strength, they could even crush some players.

However, despite that, it was still impossible for the dragon's domain to conquer this plane.

The gap in scale between the two sides was too vast.

Even though many dragon descended warriors ran rampant in this plane, capturing this territory today and annihilating that territory tomorrow, the speed at which they slaughtered was still not as fast as the natural growth of this plane.

Because of this, in the eyes of the local beings, the dragon's domain is merely a territory that is slightly stronger than the original dragon's domain.

Nothing particularly special.

The understanding that even Nidhog can grasp is naturally something the Eternal Knight Empire with its many wise men can understand as well.

Therefore, they sent Nidhog and the Dragon Born here with a single purpose to enable the warriors of the dragon's domain to undergo further transformation through the resources accumulated locally.

The same applies to other beings like the hellhound demons, dark nagas, and rift beasts.

Ironically, due to their rapid advancement, the Empire has found it increasingly difficult to sustain them solely with resources from their own plane.

This difficulty in sustenance does not mean they cannot maintain their daily consumption, but rather that they cannot provide the best resources for them to freely enhance their own strength.

Unfortunately, although the Eternal Knight plane has now achieved unification, it has not yet fully transformed and coupled with a short promotion time, the resources available are rather shallow.

Additionally, the scale of the Eternal Knight Empire's military is terrifying, making it quite normal for them to fall behind.

Those warriors who reach the high extraordinary level consume resources at an alarming rate just from daily training.

Not to mention other aspects of enhancement.

The Eternal Knight Empire naturally cannot be prefuncter regarding the improvement of its warriors.

Everything must be the best.

In the absence of sufficient resources from their own plane, they ultimately have to send them out to gather resources themselves, provided they can protect themselves and control the intensity of the wars.

This is actually a rather good approach.

On one hand, it can resolve their resource problem for training and even replenish some resources back to the Empire, while on the other hand, it allows them to enhance their strength in battle, achieving two goals with one action.

Of course, all of this is predicated on their strength being strong enough to withstand the dangers of the plane.

Most beings in the void plains have generally reached extraordinary level six with many at the epic realm, legendary realm, and even a considerable number at the sanctified realm.

If luck is not on their side, they might even encounter demagods.

Despite the fact that extraordinary level six is quite common within the eternal knight empire with even highle legions reaching double digits, most of the current players, the current vassels still predominantly consist of extraordinary level five with their elite remaining at extraordinary level six and they are merely ordinary level six at that.

Moreover, sending a level six legion and does not guarantee dominance.

If they encounter a demagod powerhouse and are unlucky, they could be wiped out in no time.

Therefore, for most players, such an environment is not a trial ground, but rather a bloody meat grinder.

Sending vassels and is not much different from sending them to their deaths.

It is worth noting that even the few armies sent out by the Eternal Knight Empire are top tier.

These armies, regardless of what they encounter, are not without the ability to resist.

The void plains are indeed undeveloped treasures.

Yet there are very few players capable of developing these treasures and even fewer who can simultaneously develop multiple planes in another dark void.

There is no life plane here and even the void beasts are scarce leaving a dead silence.

Countless meteors gather together forming a meteor cluster.

On one of the larger meteors, the surface is riddled with craters with rolling hills and a uniquely strange terrain, devoid of any vitality, showing no signs of life.

Even the hardiest vegetation cannot survive here.

Yet, at this very place, a group of guests has arrived.

Hurry up.

Pick up the pace.

The mine is just ahead.

Everyone, speed up.

A massive orc army is moving across the meteor, divided into dozens of teams heading to different locations.

These orcs are robust with their extraordinary levels generally reaching level four.

While they cannot be deemed very powerful, they're still quite decent.

Accompanying mages frequently cast detection spells to search for the exact location of the mines.

One of the teams quickly came to a halt, and the seventh level mage at the front pointed to the ground beneath them.

It's right here.

Everyone hurry and start mining.

Several earth mages in the team immediately cast their spells, causing a crack to open in the ground, revealing fragmented ores inside.

The rhinoceros orcs wasted no time and swung their iron pickaxes, starting to dig directly.

Bang! Bang! Bang! In no time, a large amount of rare or was excavated and transported to the rear, piling up until they reached a certain quantity before being stored in their storage items.

Above the sky, a phantom figure stands in the void, watching everything below.

With such a large meteor, the resources in the mine should keep me busy for quite a while.

Looking at the continuously excavated rare oes, Chenming couldn't help but smile.

As an ordinary player, he has advanced to the medium realm, but his situation has not been particularly good.

He did not receive very good rewards early on, and his ranking in the placement matches was quite low.

After advancing, aside from enjoying the benefits of increased spiritual energy, he did not gain any other advantages.

Without organizational support or help from powerful individuals, he had to rely entirely on himself, which could be described as a dire situation.

The expansion of his home plane stagnated, and he lacked the ability to conquer a semiplane.

He couldn't even defeat some of the void beast groups on the meteors.

He could only slowly explore in the void, searching for those dead meteors to obtain or resources.

This meteor beneath his feet was a resource location that Shunming had spent several years searching for, even losing several divine avatars in the process.

Here, there are no void beasts, allowing his vassels to mine the ores freely.

Chapter 239.

The extremely powerful metal giant all the orcs were mining and chunks of high purity rare were being excavated.

The knowledgeable orc workers were quite excited.

According to the agreement made by their faction, the more precious and abundant the ores they mined, the greater the rewards they would receive.

A bull-headed orc was vigorously swinging his tool, digging into the vein, when suddenly there was a sharp sound, and his iron pickaxe broke with a snap.

The small hill in front of him began to tremble slightly.

What was happening? An earthquake? The bull-headed orc scratched his head in confusion, and then he saw the small hill moving as it shook dirt and or fell away, quickly revealing its true form.

It was a metal giant, resembling a human in appearance, nearly 20 m tall, with a dark golden body that emitted a metallic sheen.

Orcrace.

How could it be an orc race appearing here? The metal giant looked down from its height, gazing at the bull-headed orc as if a dragon was surveying ants on the ground.

What is this thing? The bull-headed orc was completely stunned and fell to the ground, supporting himself with his hands as he h heardly backed away.

It wasn't he, just him.

The other orc workers nearby were similarly affected.

They looked at the tall and imposing metal giant radiating a terrifying aura, and a flicker of fear crossed their eyes.

If it weren't for the foremen maintaining order and their loyalty to the gods, they would have probably turned and fled long ago.

Although these bull-headed orcs had reached the mid-tier of the extraordinary realm and were strong fighters of the orc race, strength is relative.

In front of them stood a metal monster, and they knew just by looking that they would definitely not be able to win.
