"This place shares a destiny with me, therefore it should belong to me." Muria set the tone directly. Although the Evil Dragon Peninsula was unowned land, it was still necessary to make a declaration of intent. After all, it was important to have a justifiable reason for this conquest, at least in name.
As Muria made her decision, Xena Pus's policy towards the Evil Dragon Peninsula instantly changed. Originally, they simply allowed the five-colored dragons to wreak havoc, looting the local giant dragons and subjugating the weaker beastmen at will.
However, when Muria discovered this vast expanse of land was rich in resources, and protected by natural barriers against the powerful forces of the mainland, she became interested.
The instinct to expand one's territory is inherent to every ruler. A competent ruler always seeks to expand their domain whenever the opportunity arises.
