Plague Lord: Starting as a Demon Archduke

Plague Lord: Starting as a Demon Archduke

Starting with one territory, train troops, occupy mineral veins, forge weapons, reclaim farmland, recruit heroes, lead armies in battle, upgrade arrow towers…… Luo Lun transmigrated into a world that possesses transcendent power. Right from the start, he obtained the bloodline of a Demon Archduke, and he even possessed one territory. And that’s not all—he himself is the descendant of a high noble, his status is noble beyond words. But the only disharmonious thing in this world is that every month, there will be one terrifying natural disaster. The bloody polluters that survive in the dimensional plane will crawl out from the dimensional plane to attack human cities. Every year, countless lives are lost because of this, and everyone regards it as the source of nightmare and terror. Luo Lun looked at those corrupted giant dragons, bloody angels, and death titans that had rushed to the outside of his territory after being polluted, and gave an elegant smile. Inside the territory, the elemental turrets capable of killing giant dragons began to charge, on the city walls soldiers holding Gatling repeating crossbows prepared to pull the triggers, the spellcasters began to chant forbidden death curses, alchemical mortars prepared to load ammunition…… At the same time, two cat-eared girls stepped forward to help him put on his armor. He is the true natural disaster!

The story is set in the fictional city of Europa, in Central Europe, the last city left after a nuclear war that made most of the Earth uninhabitable and woke up dragons - prehistorical creatures that caused an mass outbreak of a lethal disease that decimated the population and turned the survivors into scale-covered, violent mutants that rebel against the government. Sophie, a young doctor working for her boss Amanda Solarin in a medical facility, accidentally meets an elderly woman, Emma, who miraculously recovered from the dragon plague, and whose blood could be the key to a vaccine. Saving Emma from government persecution, Sophie goes on the run with her. Meanwhile, Erik Persson, a police officer, sets out to track Sophie and Emma, while suspecting that a mole might be hiding in the ranks of the police. Sophie and Emma hide in the slums and after almost getting caught by the police several times they finally fall in the hands of the rebels; in her captivity, Sophie discovers that the plague survivors are not as irrational and violent as the press portrays them and agrees to work with them to develop a vaccine. She also discovers that some of the survivors have the ability to communicate telepathically with a dragon. She meets the General, the leader of the rebels, whose name is Cain, and despite her fear for his terrifying looks and enigmatic personality, she is strangely attracted to him.
