Era of Castles: Starting with 99 Dragon Eggs

The butler struggled to get up and said, “I must make Mike pay for his arrogance!”

The carriage turned around and left under the surprised gaze of the guard.

After the butler left, Mike asked, “How many heaven-tier powerhouses can we mobilize now?”

Little Jerry calculated in his heart and said, “About 230.”

“So few?” Mike frowned. He did not expect that less than 30% of the over 1,000 heaven-tier powerhouses could be mobilized.

“What about the high-tier soldiers?”

“About 230,000.”

Mike nodded and said, “Alright, get these people to enter the Northern Region in batches and wait for orders. At the same time, move out all the properties of the Dragon Castle in the Northern Region. All those below the high-tier soldiers will leave the Northern Region.”

Little Jerry smiled and said, “If you do this, it will make quite a number of people very nervous.”

Mike said, “If what I’m doing can make them nervous, that would be the best.”

Mike and Little Jerry looked at each other and smiled.

On the other side, the butler had already returned to the Great Castle and repeated Mike’s words to the old man.

When the old man heard this, he smashed the expensive table in front of all the guests. He said, “Is Mike crazy? He will die for this!”

The more the old man thought about it, the angrier he became. He said to the butler, “From today onwards, if anyone sees any business related to Dragon Castle, terminate them immediately!”

Hearing this, everyone began to discuss animatedly. From their point of view, this meant that the name of the Dragon Castle could be officially removed from the Northern Region.

The butler sneered in his heart and went off to make the arrangements.

The old man looked at the guests who had come to visit today and smiled. “I’m sorry for making a fool of myself. Our Bart Family will soon be making a big move. I hope that everyone can witness it together.”

…

Mike said to Little Jerry, “From today onwards, all members of the Dragon Castle will wear the waist badge and armband of the Dragon Castle. When they see a Bart Family member, be on the offense. When they see a Bart Family business, go ahead and ruin it! I want that old man to return to the negotiation table. I want Bart to apologize to you.”

Little Jerry smiled. “Are you trying to make me fall in love with you?”

Mike snickered. “Go to Hell.”

A day later, people realized that the atmosphere in the Northern Region had changed. The previously bustling commercial streets had all been closed, and the battles on the streets had begun to increase. The streets were filled with experts, and they were constantly grinding against each other. It was as if a great battle was about to break out at any moment.

“Spread the word. All the brothers in hand will receive double monthly salaries, and those who have left will receive triple compensation. Those who are seriously injured must be teleported away in time. Don’t let them catch you.”

Little Jerry nodded. There was actually no need for Mike to explain this because he was already familiar with these things.

…

The Bart Family.

Bart said, “Tell the brothers that no matter how strong Mike is, he is only a foreigner. We are locals, why should we be afraid of him?”

The atmosphere between the two sides instantly changed, becoming even tenser. Small-scale fights grew more and more, and there were even scenes of dozens of heaven-tier powerhouses fighting in some places, destroying thousands of houses. Hundreds of civilians were accidentally injured, but the city guards of this city did not even dare to fart, because the City Lord of this city was the Bart Family.

…

Three days later, Mike said to Little Jerry, “How are our losses these few days?”

Little Jerry said, “Although we evacuated most of the people in time, there were still 43 cases of serious injuries. According to my estimation, the other side should be even worse off. After all, we still have a headquarters to return to, and the other side can only guard a large castle.

…

A battle report that was not much different from what Little Jerry had recounted was placed in front of Bart.

The old man walked out, looked at Bart, and asked, “Didn’t you say that we are local tyrants? Why are our losses so much greater than a foreigner like him?”

Bart had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, “They have too many strong people. There are often situations where they have to fight one more time. Moreover, their supplies are through the teleportation array. If one is destroyed, another can be built very quickly. We simply can’t afford to waste time with them.”

The old man nodded and said, “Find a time to make a new appointment with Mike. This time, go there personally. Don’t let the butler do it for you.”

Bart nodded and said to the old man, “City Lord, what should we do if we can’t come to an agreement to stop the battle?”

The City Lord said in a deep voice, “Then one of us will disappear forever.”

Bart nodded and turned around to get busy with other things.

…

Mike was discussing something with Little Jerry when he suddenly heard the doorman say that Bart had come. Mike wanted to go out, but he found that Bart had already arrived in front of them.

Mike looked at Bart in front of him and smiled a little embarrassedly. He asked, “Why are you visiting so late at night?”

Bart said, “I am here to invite you to the Great Castle.”

Mike nodded and said, “Well, when I have the time, I’ll definitely go to the banquet.”

Bart reached out to stop Mike and said to him,

“Are you so busy? The City Lord is there right now, and he’s looking forward to having a drink with you.”

Mike nodded and said, “Alright then, when do we start?”

Bart handed the invitation card to Mike and said, “The night after tomorrow.”

Mike nodded and said to Bart, “Since you’re so kind to invite me, how can I not go?”

“That’s good.” Bart glanced at him and turned to leave.

Mike looked at Little Jerry and said, “Get ready. Tomorrow night is when the real action begins.”

Little Jerry nodded and said, “I hope that after this, we can truly have a place in the Northern Region.”

Mike smiled and said, “Don’t worry, that day won’t be too far away.”

…

In the dark room, Bart quietly listened to the battle reports from his subordinates.

“In the past three days, the various subordinate castles have successively gained more than 200 heaven-tier powerhouses, and the high-tier troops have increased by more than 100,000. They entered the various subordinate cities from the east, west, south, and north. As soon as they entered the castle, they immediately scattered. It seems that the divine power is coming for us.”

Bart narrowed his eyes and said, “No wonder he dared to challenge me. They now have 200 to 300 heaven-tier powerhouses. That means he has at least 500 of them. This is a top-notch divine power army. Unfortunately, a strong dragon can not suppress a local snake. Pass down the order and send out all heaven-tier powerhouses in the castle. In addition, from today onwards, all shops will be closed. All high-tier soldiers and above experts will immediately terminate their ongoing missions and return to the various subordinate cities. Didn’t Mike want to play with me? I want to see how he handles this!”

The men were ordered by Bart to leave the chamber at once.
