Dragon King's Harem Chapter 281. The Dragon King's Return I

Once Burz hammered out the peace deal with the dragon king, everything changed in the land of Vurdor. The sound of trumpets blared across the land, marking the end of the war and the start of the new alliance. 

Vurdor's streets were undergoing a transformation. The clash of steel and the warriors' shouts were gone, replaced by a tension peace. The dust of war finally settled. The city was left to deal with the messy aftermath. The orcs were left with the heavy defeat. 

Burz found himself in a real bind. The dragon king was sharp and wasted no time piling on his demands. With the war just barely over, the dragon king quickly turned the peace treaty into a long list of reparations. The dragons had suffered too, and they weren't going to let the orcs forget it. The price for peace wasn't cheap, and Burz knew he had no choice but to agree, or else risk even more destruction for his people.

But then, things got worse. Burz's stomach sank when he heard the dragon king's next demand, Glasha, Burz's sister, was to be taken to Dragon Cross City. Everyone knew it wasn't a real marriage, just a way to hold her as a hostage and a tool in the political game. The announcement hit the orcs hard. 

A week later, the war was already fading into the background, but the orcs weren't in any mood for celebration. It was time for Burz to take the throne and become the new orc king. Normally, this would be a huge event filled with cheers and festivity, but not this time. Instead, the coronation was a quiet, solemn affair, more of a formal necessity than a joyous occasion. 

The ceremony itself was understated, with the people of Vurdor gathering in silence. There was no cheering or laughter, only a heavy mix of emotions—grief for the fallen, relief that the war was over.

With the coronation over, Vurdor had no time to celebrate. The city was in ruins, and the orcs knew that rebuilding had to be their top priority. Towers that had once stood tall were now crumbling ruins. The walls were full of gaps, and important buildings lay in piles of rubble. Vurdor had been hit hard, and everywhere.

The greatest loss, though, was the lives of the warriors who had fought and died in battle. Too many families were mourning, their homes emptier now because of the war. 

But the city couldn't stay down for long. With the dragon king finally leaving, the orcs had to act fast. They worked day and night, rebuilding their city stone by stone.

The dragons left Vurdor behind. They took with them the spoils of their victory—tributes of precious jewelry and other valuable items. However, in an unexpected move, the dragons chose not to take the coins to fund their rebuilding efforts. It was a small mercy, but one that the orcs were grateful for.

After departing from Vurdor, the dragons made a direct journey back to Dragon Cross City. But rather than bypass the Minotaur territory. They sent a Magic Messenger to the new Minotaur king, demanding tribute just like they had from the orcs. However, the Minotaurs hadn't surrendered as easily, and the terms were different.

Back on the road, the dragon king and his army took about a month to reach Dragon Cross City. When they arrived, they were greeted with wild cheers and celebrations. The city was buzzing with excitement. Their fellow dragons welcomed them with open arms, and the whole city had turned out to celebrate their victory.

For the dragons, it was a triumphant return. But for Burz and the orcs of Vurdor, the hard work was just beginning. The alliance might have brought peace, but it came at a price that Vurdor would be paying for a long time.
