Under the Red Dragon
#132 - No one can lie to me
Under a tall Tree of Life, the elves, who used to be carefree, enjoyed life, and often strolled under the Tree of Life, no longer had relaxed expressions. Each of them was fully armed, whispering and talking in pairs.
This Tree of Life was incredibly ancient, the oldest and tallest Tree of Life in the Greenwild Forest world. Its trunk was hundreds of meters tall, and its lush canopy sheltered the entire elven tribe under its green shade.
This tall Tree of Life had grown to its peak and had the qualifications to evolve into a World Tree.
This elven tribe was also the most powerful tribe in the Greenwild Forest world, with approximately twenty thousand elves. The legendary Elven King Natis was also born in this tribe.
But even for this tribe with a glorious history and powerful strength, all the elves felt that the future was bleak and precarious.
Because their tribe's sacred guardian, the Tree of Life, had brought a fatal warning to all the elves.
Whether their future would be survival or destruction, the decision was not in the hands of these worried ordinary elves, but in the hands of the few ruling elves.
Therefore, these elves, who made up the vast majority of the tribe, were looking forward to the council hall in the elven tribe, located among the tall tree crowns that almost reached into the clouds, where those who decided their fate were.
Most elves were unwilling to have a supreme ruler above them, but more elves definitely did not want to step into death prematurely.
These elves, who were born as long-lived species, cherished their lives even more than ordinary short-lived species.
At this moment, they harbored resentment and blame towards the elven tribes that had launched the initial attacks, even though those tribes were, in a way, trying to protect this world. But this was the inherent nature of intelligent beings.
However, the decision-makers gathered in the council hall on the Tree of Life's canopy far exceeded the expectations of the ordinary elves below.
In this incredibly spacious hall made of wood, sat hundreds of powerful elves. Each of these elves was a ruling elder or elven druid from various tribes.
The young elven druid Aiya could only sit at the edge of the hall at this moment. Although she had once been a high-ranking elf in her own elven tribe, she could only sit like a lackey in the face of so many elven elders.
Moreover, her tribe had already been destroyed. She was only able to sit in the hall because, as the Red Dragon had said, she had spread Calon's will.
The assembled elven elders almost encompassed all the well-known large tribes in the Greenwild Forest, with the sole exception of elves from three tribes.
The atmosphere in the hall was solemn, but not panicked. All the elves' gazes were focused on the elderly male elven elder sitting in the center, who was communicating with the Tree of Life with his eyes closed.
This elven elder, Kade, was also the only natural mage who could communicate with the tribe's Tree of Life. He had lived for nearly two thousand years and could be considered a living history of the elves.
"We are here, at this time, gathered here by coincidence. Everyone should have some understanding of each other's thoughts, right?"
The elderly Elder Kade suddenly opened his eyes. His fluorescent green eyes had become slightly dim, and his aura had weakened somewhat. Clearly, communicating with the Tree of Life was not a small burden for this elderly elf.
The many elven elders below, each of whom was a noble figure in their tribe, looked at each other, but no one spoke easily. Clearly, the words they wanted to say were difficult for them to utter.
At this moment, a young female elven elder stood up. Her calm eyes swept across all the elven elders present, and then she sneered, "Since you've decided to submit to the dragon, what's the point of putting on these arrogant airs? You male elves are not as straightforward as I am!"
After the young female elf finished sneering, she turned to look at Elder Kade, who had a calm expression, and said respectfully, "Elder Kade, I don't know what choice you and your tribe will make, but our Greenleaf Tribe will firmly stand behind you, whether it's submission or war!"
"Hehe, you little girl, you speak beautifully, but you're too cunning." The elderly elven grand elder squinted his somewhat cloudy eyes and waved his hand, signaling her to sit down.
Seeing someone speak first, another tribe's elven elder stood up and said to the crowd, "Although the Greenleaf Tribe's elder is newly appointed and doesn't know how to speak elven words, what she said makes some sense, though not much."
"Since everyone was able to gather here at the same time, you must have received the Tree of Life's warning. That dragon is already becoming impatient. Everyone, from the warning brought by the Tree of Life, we can know that the opponent not only possesses a dragon, but he possesses an entire dragon group."
"Even that Red Dragon is not something we can contend with. We cannot defeat it, and he also possesses countless powerful and精悍 warriors who are more fearless than us elves. My suggestion is to follow the Tree of Life's enlightenment and submit to the dragon!"
"Hehe, your bones are soft, willing to kneel to others. My bones aren't that soft," another elven elder said from the crowd, secretly mocking. The two elven tribes had always been hostile, and they had done many things to poach each other's members, bribing and seducing each other's elven druids.
"Damn it, which wild dog is barking here," the previously speaking elven elder said angrily, his pale face instantly flushed. He sneered, "Your bones are hard, then go back and ask your tribal warriors and the Tree of Life, see if they are willing to support your idea, you idiot!"
The other elven elder was about to retort, but several elven warriors had already pounced on him, directly pinning him down.
Several thick vines fell from the elven druid's hands, taking root on the ground, binding the elven elder tightly. Even his mouth was stuffed with a thick vine, and then he was hung upside down from the roof of the council hall.
And the elderly elven grand elder Kade smiled and clapped his hands lightly, saying, "Alright, alright, don't let this idiot disturb our discussion. Everyone, continue to express your thoughts, speak freely."
The many elven elders below looked at each other. What was there to speak freely about? If they still couldn't see Elder Kade's intentions, then these elves' brains would have grown in vain.
So the elven elders below became active. "Let's submit. Anyway, we can't resist. It's better to submit now. The previous group of elven tribes that took the initiative to submit proved that these dragons didn't come for slaughter and enslavement. They just came to rule. We don't need to sacrifice the blood of our warriors."
"I agree. Anyway, the Tree of Life has already expressed its attitude. Even if we want to fight, the Tree of Life might abandon us instead, no longer supporting us," a young male elven druid shouted loudly. His time to perform had arrived.
"Very good," the elderly elven grand elder squinted his old eyes and smiled, pointing to the male elven druid who was shouting loudly, "Write it down. He took the initiative to propose submitting to the dragon. Who agrees, who opposes?"
"We have no objections!" The many elven elders said in unison, leaving the elven druid with a confused expression.
"That's good. Next, let's hold a gathering. Let those three tribes come here and meet with us to discuss how to 'resist' the dragon's oppression," Elder Kade sighed, "For the future of the elves, we can only personally deal with these few tribes."
"This way, we can save many innocent elves," Elder Kade stood up and clapped his hands, saying, "Go, contact and communicate with these three tribes, and agree on a date. This matter is very simple, because their tribes' Trees of Life have already agreed to join forces with us!"
……
Next to the wide World Tree wreckage, the Imperial Guard warriors had already established a simple camp for the Red Dragon and the mages to rest and explore this vast ruin. It would take a lot of time.
At this moment, Calon was curled up in the barracks that had been deliberately expanded by the Imperial Guard warriors. The Red Dragon's body now had to move carefully, otherwise, with a little force, this barracks built with thick wood would collapse like building blocks.
Calon closed his eyes, familiarizing himself with his soaring psionic power. The psionic power born after being reforged now brought him magical power.
One of these abilities was quite troublesome for Calon now.
The newborn mind gave him the ability to sense the mental activities and thoughts of creatures whose mental willpower was not as strong as Calon's, as if he had super hearing. Therefore, he had to face the impact of those mental activities and the entanglement of various thoughts every moment.
Many people had once yearned for such abilities and powers, but Calon knew that even the most cheerful, sunny, and pure person had deeply hidden darkness and filth in their hearts. Therefore, he didn't really like this ability that he passively possessed.
Too much contact with other people's minds would also cause interference to Calon. Those chaotic and dark thoughts would also make it more difficult for him to trust the people around him. So he started practicing controlling this ability as usual.
Fortunately, he had enough experience in this area. He only needed to restrain the spread of psionic power to maximize the convergence of his ability.
Although as long as they were too close to Calon, others would still be passively sensed by Calon's thoughts unconsciously, Calon felt that it was much better than the initial central air-conditioning-like psionic perception diffusion.
He felt that after a period of practice, he would be able to freely control his abilities.
This had always been Calon's idea. Creatures who couldn't even control their own power, no matter how strong they were, were another form of the weak.
Now those mages, including the squinting Hughes, didn't really like to contact Calon, because of Calon's ability. These mages always felt that the Red Dragon's gaze now seemed to be able to penetrate the protection of their minds and souls, sensing their inner thoughts.
In addition, these mages knew that the Red Dragon was a master in the mental field, so they gradually kept their distance from Calon.
Even the Imperial Guard warriors under his command, although they were not worried about being seen through their thoughts by the Red Dragon, the Red Dragon's uncontrollable mental power always had a strong sense of oppression and invasiveness to their will and soul, so they rarely appeared in front of the Red Dragon.
Only the powerful dragonborn werewolf Saha guarded the entrance to Calon's barracks without any scruples.
Calon sensed from Saha's occasionally fluctuating thoughts that this werewolf, who was also one of the most powerful in his family, seemed to have many stories of his own. In this werewolf's werewolf life, he was also a legendary werewolf.
However, Calon didn't like to pry too much into other people's minds, just like his will could now be linked to these family members and companions through the psionic power linked to him at any time, descending into the other party's mind, realizing a kind of ability behavior similar to telepathy and mental transmission.
Although there were certain distance limitations, Calon estimated that he could probably only realize this ability within a radius of three thousand miles, and successfully descend.
But he still reminded himself to try to reduce the use of this ability, so as not to form dependence and develop bad habits, whether for him or for those family warriors.
Calon was constantly practicing controlling his abilities, and a very familiar life fluctuation and mental fluctuation were rapidly approaching here from afar.
"Anta Gina? Why is she here." Calon stood up carefully, so as not to collapse the wooden house. He dispersed the misty white light in his hand and stuck his head out of the wooden house.
Seeing Calon's figure, the Green Dragon Anta Gina quickly folded her wings and landed. Ignoring the salutes of the Imperial Guard warriors, she came to the Red Dragon.
"Calon, it's really great that you're okay," the Green Dragon Anta Gina's beautiful fine scales shone brightly, like pure emerald gems. This added a lot to the Green Dragon's appearance and beauty. The dragon's aesthetics came not only from the attraction of the body, but also from the attraction of aesthetics.
Calon frowned slightly. He didn't quite understand the Green Dragon's words, so he asked, "What's great that I'm okay? I've always been fine."
So the Green Dragon Anta Gina recounted the series of events in which she met the Black Dragon Rosani on the road, and then the Black Dragon told her about Calon's accident.
Calon suddenly understood, but what he thought of was not other things, but the fall of the Dragon Temple. Obviously, although the magic creation he created by chance and inspiration had many defects.
"Forget it, since you're here, I need your help to subdue these native elves," Calon nodded and asked his Imperial Guard warriors to rebuild a barracks for the Green Dragon to rest.
The Green Dragon Anta Gina stretched her slender neck and circled and rubbed in front of the Red Dragon's tall chest. The Green Dragon's beautiful head, wearing an emerald crown, gently leaned against the Red Dragon's strong pectoral muscles.
Her crisp and sweet voice was like that of a spoiled girl, with some pity-inducing grievances, "Calon, my king, the master of the dragons, I need your support."
"Hehe, tell me, what's the matter, Anta Gina, I will always be your backing." Calon's eyes showed a smile.
The Green Dragon Anta Gina told the story of her being isolated. The Green Dragon's bewitching voice even made Calon feel that the dragons were really too much, treating a beautiful girl dragon like this.
But Calon's will was not blinded by the Green Dragon's bewitching voice. His newly born, still unskilled power operated spontaneously.
Karon's thick dragon claws gently touched the green dragon Antagena's cheek, caressing it in a way he had never shown before, a tenderness and affection as if expressing his pity. This filled the green dragon Antagena's heart with joy.
But in the next second, the red dragon's claws suddenly dropped, tightly gripping the green dragon's slender neck. The sudden feeling of suffocation plunged the green dragon's joyful heart into the abyss.
She struggled to look up, only to see the red dragon's icy gaze and indifferent words, sending a chill through the green dragon Antagena's body that shot straight to the crown of her head, "Antagena, no one can lie to me, unless you think I am a fool!"
