Under the Red Dragon

In the Golden Empire, most dragons regard the newborn dragon whelps as mere children. Therefore, when they hear the young dragons playing, they subconsciously assume it's just childish frolicking.

However, dragons are born with inherent inheritances. The young dragons in the Golden Empire receive far more education than those of other dragonkin. This subconscious conflict between inheritance and education leads the newborn whelps in the Empire to experience far more contemplation than other young dragons.

Perhaps the newborn whelps in the Golden Empire are still not mature enough, but they will never be in the narrow-minded state of partial inheritance indoctrination like the whelps of other dragonkin.

When Behemoth Achilles of the Empire entered the noisy camp, he found the Empire's newborn whelps in a confrontational stance.

Blue dragon whelp Caesar stood alone in the middle of the huge camp, facing several green, black, and white dragons, while red dragon cub Nero coldly watched with arrogance.

Two blue dragon whelps of the same species as Caesar hesitated whether to stand by Caesar's side or join the side with more dragons.

But hesitation itself represents a peculiar choice.

Floating Cloud Dragon Derrick, who had grown into adolescence after a transformative slumber, stood between these confronting young dragon factions, his wings spread wide. The power of his Floating Cloud Dragon bloodline condensed clouds into two soft cloud walls, blocking the conflict between the two sides.

After transforming into a teenage dragon, Floating Cloud Dragon Derrick resembled a gold dragon with white scales and no whiskers, his posture particularly elegant among these fierce chromatic dragons.

His actions were like those of a sensible older brother, dissuading the conflicting chromatic young dragons while preparing to forcibly suppress these rowdy little fellows if he couldn't quell the conflict.

"Why are you making trouble again? The Emperor of the Empire recently allowed you to try to learn the Empire's affairs under the guise of 'political observation.' Instead of performing well, you're causing such chaos. In the end, I'll be the one getting scolded!"

Achilles, with his hair standing on end, knew exactly what these young dragons were up to as soon as he entered. He complained with a gloomy face.

The reason was simply the mountain of magical crystals and gems, each the size of an adult's head, piled up in the huge camp.

The smallest of these magical gems was also the size of an adult's fist.

This batch of high-quality, pure magical crystals and gems came not only from the mines the Golden Empire had exploited in other small planes, but also from the accumulated wealth of the noble families that had been annihilated by the Empire and the Kings.

In the hands of those nobles, such resources would only be shelved, used as resources and reserves to cultivate their own family's talents. But in the hands of the Golden Empire and the Kings, they were the mobile energy sources for those magical heavy cannons.

Compared to high-energy gunpowder heavy cannons, the magical heavy cannons developed and improved by the Golden Empire, gradually reaching the pinnacle of civilization technology in the Northern Continent of Akani, were more powerful and had a longer range.

Moreover, in areas with abundant magical elements, they didn't even need to be loaded. If these pure magical crystals were loaded as guiding and strengthening energy, the power of the magical heavy cannons would be even greater.

This was also the powerful war weapon that the armies of the Golden Empire and the Kings relied on to conquer territories.

Moreover, magical heavy cannons were not as fragile as cannons using high-energy gunpowder. Some extreme weather conditions could also affect the performance of cannons.

Although it took several cannons using high-energy gunpowder to match the power of a single magical heavy cannon, with a relatively shorter range and requiring effort to preserve ammunition, they could also serve as a firepower supplement for the Golden Empire and the Kings.

These young dragons were learning from the operation of the logistics department under the guise of 'political observation' to increase their experience and handling skills.

There were no problems in other storage camps, but when they came to this material camp filled with magical crystals and gems, the greed that these young dragons had controlled so well suddenly blinded them.

Several green, white, and black dragon whelps planned to secretly intercept some gems and magical crystals as their own wealth to pave their small nests, but these young dragons' actions were stopped by the blue dragon Caesar.

Thus, the conflict occurred.

Those young dragons believed that it was just a small amount of wealth. Intercepting a few dozen crystals from the mountain of gems was not a problem. As young dragons, they were naturally entitled to such rights.

However, the blue dragon Caesar believed that this would tear open an extremely secret and terrifying gap, and immediately stood up to stop these young dragons whose eyes were occupied by overwhelming wealth.

Achilles' words did not attract the attention of the confronting young dragons, because the Behemoth's character was always honest and lacked initiative.

Even when he was bullied by these young dragons before, it was because of the bewitchment of the dragon blood angel Gabriel that this Behemoth decided to fight these young dragons.

The blue dragon Caesar faced six young dragons alone, but his expression was extremely calm.

As these whelps grew older, their original appearance, like big-headed baby dragons, gradually grew towards the edges and corners and ferocity of teenage dragons. Therefore, Caesar, this blue dragon, had a fierce aura like Aketz, although it was still very weak compared to those great dragons.

"You think this is no problem, very good," Caesar raised his head and scanned these partners who had grown up together, and said coldly: "You have always thought you are very smart, then I will ask you a question!"

"I don't know who is being clever and thinks they are awake, tsk," the green dragon Salaila chuckled: "Ask it, Caesar, let me see what kind of difficult problem you have to prove that we are stupid."

The other white and black dragons also looked at Caesar, none of them thought that Caesar was smarter than themselves. Everyone studied together, played together, and received the same education.

The blue dragon Caesar sneered, and said: "If you were allowed to rule a country alone, to become the supreme ruler, the supreme king and emperor of a country,"

"But you discovered such a thing, that is, your blood relatives, friends, descendants, capable retainers, and trusted talents have been intercepting wealth, stealing benefits, and taking resources from your country's treasury, what would you do?"

"If you find that the country you rule is obviously rich, the amazing wealth distributed to each citizen can even be regarded as the richest country in the world of Akani,"

"But the gap between the rich and the poor in your country is the first in the world of Akani, and 99% of the wealth in the entire kingdom has flowed into the hands of your blood relatives, friends, capable retainers, and trusted ministers, what would you do?"

The blue dragon Caesar sneered: "If you also find that your blood relatives, friends, capable retainers, and trusted ministers are colluding with foreign forces and betraying the interests of your country for their own interests and wealth, what would you do?"

The other black, white, and green dragons couldn't help but widen their vertical pupils, revealing a sense of being violated, and a weak dragon might permeated with killing intent.

They said in unison: "What's so difficult about that? Of course, we will kill all these guys, let the Tribunal catch them, publicize their crimes, and then punish them severely according to the law."

The green dragon Salaila frowned her emerald-like crystal green nose and said: "My blood relatives, friends, and trusted retainers will not harm my interests. Those who harm my interests are not my blood relatives, friends, and trusted retainers!"

"Very well said," the blue dragon Caesar sneered: "But you are becoming those who should be killed, you are becoming those dragons in the Empire who should be killed!"

"How could it be?" The other young dragons were suddenly a little surprised. These young dragons were not stupid, but they never thought that the people the blue dragon Caesar was talking about were themselves.

"How could it not be?" The blue dragon Caesar retorted coldly: "When the superiors like something, the subordinates will do it even more."

"As the highest and most respected true dragon clan in the Golden Empire, your actions will definitely be seen by your retainers, subjects, and ministers,"

"If even you are doing such stupid things, what qualifications do you have to ask others to do what you cannot do yourselves."

"Besides, you have never seen so much wealth piled up within easy reach before. The first time you saw it, you couldn't control your ridiculous greed. What about when you face more temptations and wealth in the future?"

The words of the blue dragon Caesar made Achilles and the Floating Cloud Dragon Derrick also couldn't help but think silently. The proud red dragon cub Nero was as arrogant as ever, but a pair of hardened and sharp dragon claws were learning from those great dragons in the Kogmoran dragon group, stroking his angular chin and thinking about Caesar's words.

"The white dragon Smo, died on the night of the Dragon Frenzy, but he would not have died. That day, Smo took the initiative to call me to help the people of the Empire and save them from more disasters."

The blue dragon Caesar's tone gradually became serious, and his dragon-like tone echoed in the camp, attracting the listening of many soldiers and several great dragons outside.

"Smo was willing to face danger and sacrifice for the beautiful Empire."

"Even though his power and my power are very weak, are you willing to gradually destroy the foundation of the Empire because of your greed at this time, and then because of the increasingly uncontrollable source of desire, and eventually let the Empire be corroded beyond recognition."

No matter what kind of creature it is, the most important time in its life is undoubtedly its childhood experience. Unless it has undergone unimaginable changes, the character of a creature is mostly determined by its childhood.

It's like a fruit that has been bitten open, gradually oxidized and corroded by bacteria and everything in the air; everything a creature faces in its childhood is the civilization of the environment around the creature.

The blue dragon Caesar is obviously the dragon most deeply influenced by the civilization of the Golden Empire in the new generation, or rather, this blue dragon's thinking is most similar to that of the Empire.

The other black and white dragons were a little shocked by the words of the blue dragon Caesar, and their fangs collided, muttering in a low voice: "It shouldn't be that serious, right? We just want to take a few insignificant gems and crystals to decorate our nests."

Only the shrewd and outstanding green dragon Salaila retorted coldly: "Caesar, don't arbitrarily exaggerate the problem. With your tone, can you be sure that you will have the power to rule the Golden Empire in the future? It's ridiculous."

"The crown of the Kogmoran Emperor can never fall on the skull of a dragon of other castes. In the future, the blood relatives and descendants of Kogmoran will definitely be the most noble dragon princes of the Golden Empire. No dragon can compare with them."

"So, you should honestly seek some benefits for yourself!"

The blue dragon Caesar coldly watched those young dragons who began to waver again because of the words of the green dragon Salaila, and shook his head and said softly: "Salaila, it's a pity that your shrewdness is not used in the right place."

"Tsk," the green dragon Salaila just sneered, but did not mean to spit out the magical gems hidden in the gaps in the scales.

"You don't understand," the blue dragon Caesar said: "The bloodline of the Kogmoran Emperor, whether in the mortal world of Akani or in other worlds, it is difficult to give birth to his own blood relatives and descendants, because no creature can truly bear the blood of Kogmoran. This is the price of Kogmoran Emperor being so powerful and beyond the limit."

"Even if the Kogmoran Emperor gives birth to his own blood relatives and descendants in the future, if his blood relatives and descendants cannot inherit his will, cannot have the ability and talent to lead the dragons, the Kogmoran Emperor will not hand over the power to unite all living beings to his descendants."

"The descendants of Kogmoran are of course the most noble bloodline in the Golden Empire, the dragon princes that no one can but respect. I will respect the crown of the dragon prince, I will kneel and worship the throne of the dragon prince, I will kiss the paws of the dragon prince,"

"But that will never change the fact that I will be the heir of the Kogmoran Emperor in the future. The spiritual will of the Empire is in my heart, and the future sword of the Empire will also be in my paws."

No dragon would think that the words of the blue dragon Caesar were too arrogant and confident, not because Caesar had a unique strength, but because dragons should be like this.

The most arrogant dragon in the world of Akani is the example for these young dragons.

That ancestral red dragon even dared to face the divine punishment of the Five-Colored Dragon God after his immortality, and dared to roar and shatter the consciousness projection of the Platinum Dragon King, and dared to say to the Dragon God: "The mortal world belongs to the mortal world, and the gods belong to the gods."

These young dragons just couldn't understand why this blue dragon was so sure about the future actions of the Kogmoran Emperor.

"How do you know that the Kogmoran Emperor will do this?" The one who asked this question was not the green dragon, not the black dragon, but the red dragon Nero, who had an arrogant face and watched coldly.

"Use your eyes to see, use your brains to think, the will of the Kogmoran Emperor is expressed in everything that the Empire operates, such as our political observation, such as the future goals of the Empire, such as..."

Caesar said: "Even if the descendants of the Kogmoran Emperor have the talent to lead all dragons and all living beings in the future, I will be the sword of the Empire, the dragon king who holds the power of the Empire."

"The goal of the Empire is not only the immediate survival, the places where the Empire will allow us to display our talents in the future are endless, and the Kogmoran Emperor and the many dragon kings of the Empire today will always be the crown of the Empire, but they will be tired,"

"Even if they are not tired, the future of the Empire is not something that these dragon kings can manage now. It will require more true dragons to help them."

Caesar stretched out his wings, signaling the Floating Cloud Dragon Derrick to dissipate the cloud wall that was blocking him.

Then, the blue dragon walked up to the most stubborn green dragon, Salaila, and nudged Salaila's delicate horn-crown with its fierce head, saying, "For dragons, saying the word 'love' feels a bit embarrassing."

"And love, in reality, is an overflow of one's own personality."

"The love given by a narrow-minded person is restrictive, the love given by an open-minded person is freedom, the love given by someone who seeks externally is didactic, and the love given by someone who seeks internally is transformative."

"The love given by a resolute person is sharing, the love given by a generous person is giving,"

"Love is a vast proposition, it has hundreds of forms. I don't know which category Emperor Gogmora's love for us young dragons should fall into, but I truly felt something unique in Him, a great love that treats all dragons equally."

"Perhaps this is the best kind of love, He loves all dragons unconditionally, because He loves Himself unconditionally."

The blue dragon, Caesar, had an inscrutable look in his eyes. He said to the green dragon, Salaila, and the other young dragons in an almost warning tone, "Happiness does not belong to the strongest, nor to the weakest, but to those who are content."

"My best memories are the past, and then the present. I don't want you to ruin them!"

The red dragon, Nero, suddenly thought of that time that didn't seem 'happy' at all, when he was in the classroom listening to the cicadas chirping outside the window, the teacher was lecturing on the platform, and the other young dragons were occasionally whispering, discussing the recent events in the empire, while the red dragon was still fantasizing about what he should eat for his next meal.

Although his memory of that time was not very clear, Nero still remembered the particularly noisy sound of cicadas that day, like an eternal echo in his ears.

So the red dragon, Nero, the young dragon who had always isolated himself from the others, slowly snorted, spewed out a few sparks, and stood beside the blue dragon, Caesar.

"No one can betray the family," the red dragon, Nero, said, raising his head and looking down at the young dragons.
