Under the Red Dragon

Northern territory, southern mid-section, in the distant hills and plains of the City of Aila.

The damp and cold winter wind howls before the continuous camp fortress, unable to penetrate this camp that seems to be a giant beast lying on the earth.

The Farn Empire and the joint mission of nobles close to the Farn Empire in the southern part of the northern territory stepped out of the huge teleportation magic gate and stood on a solid teleportation platform in a huge camp tent.

The entire platform is covered with complex magical patterns, and huge energy-absorbing devices stand around it, allowing this apex teleportation platform to remain in an instantly activated operating state at all times.

Moist snowflakes began to fall one by one, and were evaporated into gurgling white mist by these huge energy-absorbing devices.

Such a huge teleportation platform, which can simultaneously pass two carriages, was built with massive resources by the Golden Empire and the Northern Kings, and is specially used to transport some important resources and important figures required by the Northern Kings Alliance.

Therefore, the legion warriors guarding near the teleportation platform in the military camp also appear particularly elite and vigilant.

As the only magic teleportation space coordinate allowed to operate near this space world occupied by the Northern Kings' joint camp, even the legendary mage group of the Farn Empire must obtain the permission of the Northern Kings in advance to accurately construct a super-distance magic teleportation gate leading to this teleportation platform.

If those legendary mage groups of the Farn Empire's royal court want to forcibly break through the magical coordinate blockade of this space through their own abilities or want to smuggle in using magic, they will not only be discovered by the imperial mage group that controls the space blockade in the first time.

The imperial mage group may also use the teleportation platform to anchor a general direction for those who try to sneak in, such as the depths of the endless abyss and the most dangerous planes in the nine layers of hell, and throw these people in.

Therefore, the mission of the Farn Empire and the mission of the nobles, led by the legendary mage Reto, quickly stepped out of this seemingly calm teleportation platform.

Controlling life and death in his hands made the envoys of those nobles in the southern part of the northern territory a little nervous.

Only the leader of the Farn Empire's mission sniffed the scent of dragon beasts in the air, glanced at the legion warriors quietly watching him and the heavy weapons arranged in the military camp, and frowned slightly.

Those usually fierce, brutal, and stupid dragon beasts should be howling and rampaging aimlessly in the wilderness.

But just an ordinary hemp vine and reins bound these dragon beasts, and they were led around the camp by the guarding legion warriors.

The knowledge of taming dragon beasts is not rare in the Farn Empire; this knowledge can only be regarded as basic common sense for a hegemonic empire that can open up planes to plunder resources.

However, the Golden Empire and the Northern Kings have unique advantages in taming these beasts. These dragon beasts are not like they have been tamed, but rather surrendered from their own instincts.

Each dragon beast's pupils are filled with native wildness, which also means that the combat power of these dragon beasts far exceeds those dragon beast legions that have been trained by various taming rules.

The envoy of the Farn Empire even felt that if it weren't for Kog'Mora, the Dragon Emperor, having the desire to establish a civilized empire, he would be able to dominate the entire Eka'nia world simply by commanding monsters and beasts.

After all, dragons are born kings of beasts, and are the natural supreme beings of most monsters.

And intelligent races like humans, although they are the unshakable overlords of the Eka'nia world, their numbers are far from comparable to those of monsters and beasts.

There are also those imperial heavy cannons built by the Golden Empire, with rows of dark cannons exuding a strong smell of high-energy gunpowder.

The envoy of the Farn Empire knew that this was a military specialty of the Golden Empire. This military specialty not only has good sales in all countries in the northern continent, but has even been sold far into the central continent.

On the Marino defense line, which was breached by the kings, more than a hundred of the seized heavy cannons were ordered from the Golden Empire.

Several countries in the central continent have already placed orders with the Golden Empire, and even the Farn Empire has ordered several high-energy heavy cannons from the Golden Empire through some channels.

The technology of such heavy cannons is actually not that clever, and the craftsmen of the Farn Empire can easily imitate them. However, the production capacity of the Farn Empire is far from comparable to that of the Golden Empire.

The Farn Empire, which occupies the top position in magical level, can export advanced magic-guided cannons to other countries, but these magic-guided cannons are expensive and have a general production capacity.

Some ordinary small countries cannot even equip their armies with complete remote heavy artillery attack teams.

Although the power of the Golden Empire's heavy cannons is not comparable to that of magic-guided cannons, the high-energy gunpowder shells can also cause the same damage as some magic. Although several heavy cannons are comparable to one magic-guided cannon, the production capacity is too terrifying after the Golden Empire started magical industrialization.

The civilizations in the Eka'nia world may still not know enough about Kalon Kog'Mora. The soul possessed by this dragon makes the empire he rules like his own emperor.

Although the Golden Empire has been developing in a low-key manner before, the goal of the entire empire's development is not just to occupy a place in the northern territory of Eka'nia.

The goal of the entire empire's development is to advance towards a national power that can confront or even overwhelm all the countries and civilizations in the Eka'nia world.

In the ancient history of the Eka'nia world, complex and intricate hatred and conflicts of interest are played out. The alliances, betrayals, and alliances between great nobles, slave owners, kings, and emperors are staged in history.

The former gods also stepped onto the stage in the history of Eka'nia for the sake of faith, but no country or civilization played the same role as the Golden Empire.

The Golden Empire is the claw of the ancestral red dragon Kalon Kog'Mora, and also the embodiment of his will, so the empire is destined to be like the ancestral red dragon, becoming the ultimate tester and cleaner of civilization.

Perhaps this posture is a bit high and mighty for outsiders. Even those envoys who came here from the Farn Empire can feel that inexplicable feeling.

The legion warriors of the Golden Empire seem to be influenced by their rulers. It is clear that the flames of war were started by the Golden Empire and the Kings, but it seems that the other countries are here to challenge them.

That is not arrogance revealed on the outside, but a kind of nobility rising from the bottom of the heart.

The envoy of the Farn Empire sighed in his heart. As the leader of the mission of the overlord empire, he is not an ordinary mediocre person.

In his eyes, the Golden Empire and the Kings Alliance are no longer something that the Farn Empire can eliminate.

Yes, eliminate, not defeat! Just like those people on the Gran Islands on one of the lands ruled by the Farn Empire.

Even if the power of the Farn Empire can crush all the people on the Gran Islands into dregs, slaughtering them without leaving one, those people still do not submit to the rule of the Farn Empire, and have launched countless rebellions in thousands of years. Hundreds of heroes from the Gran Islands have been recorded in history.

Perhaps the Farn Empire can defeat the Golden Empire, but the envoy of the Farn Empire feels that some of the things displayed by the legion warriors of the Golden Empire can never be eliminated.

These envoys followed the soldiers leading the way forward, experiencing many sentry posts.

In the eyes of the Farn Empire's envoys and noble envoys, those Lizardmen legions wearing armor are like creatures disguised as intelligent species, full of barbarism and bloodiness, but also with iron-like order.

There are also those gray dwarf clans from the Underdark who have begun to be incorporated into the empire, whose bones are full of primitive violence and worship.

But such extremely explosive dangerous goods honestly stay in the melting pot of the Golden Empire, and are ruled by stronger violence and more solid will, which is extremely terrifying.

Galia, as the guardian dragon who signed a guardian contract with the previous generations of kings of the Farn Empire, was born in the blue dragon family in the great desert of the central continent.

As a prime blue dragon in the blue dragon family, it must assume the responsibility of becoming a lubricant for the blue dragon family to maintain in the central continent. This is one of the reasons why the blue dragon family can become the dominant family in the great desert.

But in Galia's eyes, those true dragons and dragon people of the Golden Empire are also extremely terrifying.

This is not because of the strength of those true dragons and dragon blood creatures. The power of most true dragons and dragon people is not worth mentioning in the eyes of this prime blue dragon.

However, these true dragons are considered true heavenly dragons in the Golden Empire, but they have a certain characteristic that the blue dragon Galia cannot learn.

It seems that the nobility of those true dragons and dragon people is not due to power and influence, but is brought about by their own 'unsummarizable' spirit of the true dragon.

The blue dragon Galia has also learned about the Golden Empire, and even three young blue dragons in the family have joined the Golden Empire's camp.

This is not surprising. As long as dragons use their wisdom, what those nobles can do, and will do, dragons can do all of them.

But hearing is one thing, and personal contact is another.

The blue dragon Galia also heard that there have recently been disputes in the Southern Good Dragon Alliance, the reason being that the adult silver dragon Chris Tiana and two bronze dragons, Gross and Natareli, are vigorously promoting the ideas of the Golden Empire in the Southern Continent's headquarters of good dragons.

This has caused some divisions in the Good Dragon Alliance, because many silver dragons and bronze dragons have gradually defected to the adult silver dragon Chris Tiana and the two bronze dragons.

Many gold dragons and gem dragons in the Southern Good Dragon Alliance are very dissatisfied with the actions of the adult silver dragon Chris Tiana, and even want to convene a 'Dragon Crown Council' to target this adult silver dragon and the two bronze dragons.

Especially with the death of the legendary gold dragon Nasuye, one of the leaders of the Good Dragon Alliance, and the ancestral gold dragon Erickson, as well as the imprisonment of the parents of the ancestral gold dragon Obilash, those leaders of the Good Dragon Alliance have been wanting to face the northern Golden Empire with a tough stance.

They even do not hesitate to awaken the sleeping ancient dragons, wanting to re-establish the suppressing position of the metallic dragons in front of the chromatic dragons' kingdom.

You see, there will be such people in any world.

These metallic dragons have not tried to show their fangs to humans and other intelligent races that occupy the dominant position in the Eka'nia world, but they do not want the chromatic dragons, which were once suppressed by the metallic dragons, to rise up as chromatic dragons belonging to the same large race.

However, with the awakening of the adult silver dragon Chris Tiana's grandmother, an ancient silver dragon sleeping in the Mistwood Mountains in the silver dragon territory, this matter finally came to an end.

Although gold dragons are the favorites of the Platinum Dragon God among the metallic dragons, and are born with a higher talent bloodline than all metallic dragons, and are therefore likely to become the joint leaders of the metallic dragon race.

But this does not mean that gold dragons have the power to arbitrarily rule other metallic dragons. Ancient gold dragons are terrible enough, but ancient silver dragons are not vegetarians who have grown to the ancient dragon stage.

The silver dragon Valkyrie Chris Tiana's grandmother, that ancient silver dragon, even publicly stated in the south.

Before Chris Tiana does anything that harms the metallic dragons, whoever dares to target Chris Tiana, then this ancient silver dragon will personally pay a visit.

The ancient silver dragon also said that to restrain the normal dissemination of ideas is something that only absolute tyrants can do.

Metallic dragons do not need tyrants to rule and lead them. The silver dragon race can allow a true king to appear, but will never accept the rule of a tyrant.

So those southern metallic dragons strike the colors and muffle the drums/cease activities, and even the things targeting the Golden Empire gradually disappeared on the water surface.

The prime blue dragon Galia has only briefly touched the surface, and has already understood how terrible the Golden Empire's influence is on a dragon.

Galia now feels that the adult silver dragon and the two bronze dragons who have stirred up waves in the Southern Good Dragon headquarters may not be 'corrupted' by the specious words of being bewitched, but are in a state of being completely changed by being civilization contamination.

Just like the red copper dragon Alfred in front of him.

"Noble Dragon King, Honorable Imperial Minister of Foreign Affairs, on behalf of the Farn Empire's mission and the southern nobles, I pay my respects to you."

Zalaya, the head of the Farn Empire's mission, placed his hand on his chest and bowed.

The members of the mission bowed and introduced themselves one by one to the red copper dragon Alfred, who had transformed into a humanoid form and was wearing glasses in a decent manner.

However, only the envoys of the Farn Empire could receive a polite response from this red copper dragon, and the other envoys of the southern nobles in the northern territory were ignored by this red copper dragon.

However, after being ignored, the envoys of those southern nobles did not dare to show anger on their faces.

After understanding the power of the Golden Empire, no nobles dared to maintain any so-called arrogant posture in front of the dragon, and could only endure it silently.

The prime blue dragon Galia also nodded and saluted this dragon, which is quite wonderful to say.

In the inheritance order of dragons, which is dominated by strength and bloodline, the prime blue dragon is far more noble than this red copper dragon, but in the face of reality, it is the prime blue dragon who needs to take the initiative to salute.

"Emperor Kog'Mora and the Kings are just at a banquet, this is a rare moment when the Kings are gathered, although it is not in line with etiquette, please come with me!"

The red copper dragon Alfred led the delegation into the noisy king's tent, and then slowly took his seat.

However, the missions of the Farn Empire and the southern nobles stopped in the wide aisle in the middle of the king's tent at the first time, not because the etiquette of the empire and the kings was not good, but because the situation they faced was too terrifying.

The king's tent is huge, but it is not enough to accommodate the dragons.

The group of dragons who have made contributions in the war have transformed into humanoid forms and sit behind the desks, and a pair of shining pupils look at these envoys, just like the golden lights lit in the king's tent.

Even the raging bonfire around can not be compared with the pupil light of the group of dragons.

Not only the humans felt it, but even the middle-aged blue dragon Gallia, also a dragon, felt a sudden jolt in his heart, a sensation akin to his first hunt of a ferocious monster in his youth.

Even the generals of those monsters and the humanoid commanders of the empire, when they looked at these envoys, their gazes were like two sharp knives piercing out from their pupils, extremely intimidating.

Even the female humans and elves had eyes like iron swords covered in dew, carrying a formidable cold light.

What terrified these envoys even more was the sight of the heads of great nobles displayed on a table in the center of the royal tent, many of which were heads taken down by the empire's assassin court, such as the gray dragons Naka and Nalo, placed there as if these kings and their kin were using the heads of their enemies to drink.

Zalaya, the head of the Faen Empire's delegation, despite his exceptionally good mental fortitude, still felt his voice as rough as the sound of scraping steel as he forced a dry laugh.

"Your Majesty, the esteemed Supreme Emperor of the Golden Empire, and all you noble kings and loyal and brave soldiers, you truly possess a heroic spirit, drinking with the skulls of your opponents, I deeply admire Your Majesty's style!"

Even though Zalaya was somewhat alarmed, he still subtly changed the Southern nobles in his words from being enemies that the Golden Empire and the kings had sought to eliminate to being mere opponents, subconsciously testing the waters with the kings, revealing the young man's outstanding qualities.

Hearing this, the middle-aged blue dragon Gallia couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly. If any other race, country, or dragon family were to act this way, the Faen Empire's envoys and nobles would surely express contempt—this is the behavior of barbarians!

But as the Emperor of the Golden Empire had said, the world's order is established by the will of the strong, and civilization is shaped and defined by the strong.

The actions of the Golden Empire and the kings, after displaying their power, would be praised as representatives of soaring heroism.

However, the once noisy royal tent was now eerily quiet, even the middle-aged blue dragon Gallia subconsciously lightened his breathing.

Color dragons are brave, yes, but they were facing several legendary kings.

The other kings sat on the same level as the True Dragon Emperor Kalon Kog Mora, arrayed on either side of the Dragon Emperor.

But not a single king looked at these envoys from the Faen Empire and the Southern nobles.

Anudale, the male king of the Drow elves, was pouring and drinking wine by himself. Mogues, the giant king of the Godforsaken Mountains, rudely buried his head and crunched on a huge leg bone.

The monarchs of the Hobbes Empire and the Orc King watched the skulls of those great nobles in the center of the royal tent with cold smiles.

Before the Dragon Emperor spoke, these kings didn't even bother to acknowledge the envoys from the hegemonic empire of the Central Continent.

The envoys couldn't help but let their gazes wander to the True Dragon Emperor, who was leaning lazily on a simple seat.

Walking like sick tigers and standing like sleeping eagles, this True Dragon Emperor's lazy demeanor was like a dormant dragon, concealing all its wings, claws, and majesty.

But just like some mortal officials in the world, who can cultivate a powerful aura under the halo of power and status, possessing a strong, filter-like presence.

Every simple movement of this ancient red dragon, in the eyes of these envoys, exuded the awe-inspiring majesty of an emperor, making people unable to resist looking up to him.

However, the existence of Kalon Kog Mora, this Dragon Emperor, was perceived differently by these envoys.

In the eyes of the middle-aged blue dragon Gallia, Kalon Kog Mora's image was that of a noble and majestic ancient red dragon without equal, perched on his seat, overlooking himself and the envoys.

In the heart of Zalaya, the leader of the Faen Empire's delegation, he had already regarded Kalon Kog Mora as a king like the Regent of the Faen Empire, so in his eyes, he saw a young emperor wearing a crown, his gaze like a deep sea, yet stern and soul-stirring.

But in the eyes of the envoys of the Southern Noble Alliance, Kalon Kog Mora's image was that of a completely hideous and evil dragon.

Only the legendary spellcaster Leto, when facing this ancient red dragon at close range, could see the Dragon Emperor in his dragon-kin form after a brief illusion.

Although the middle-aged blue dragon Gallia's overall combat power was definitely stronger than this newly legendary spellcaster, he could not see the true form of the ancient red dragon's existence.

Only the legendary spellcaster Leto could realize what kind of power this was.

Among legends, basically all legends with strong mental power are proficient in using their own consciousness to distort and cover creatures below them, but that requires active guidance.

But this ancient red dragon's mere passive existence could affect a legendary spellcaster like Leto, and this characteristic could not help but shock Leto.

"Such a powerful will and vast mental power, wouldn't it be like wanting others to become whatever he wants, wanting others to think the world is like whatever he wants, and others will think that way?"

The legendary spellcaster Leto suddenly remembered the rumors once circulating in the city, which said that the True Dragon Emperor of the Golden Empire especially liked to use high-level complete transformation spells to punish those who violated the empire's laws.

"If I were to face its high-level complete transformation spell, I wonder if I could withstand such a nearly complete distortion of the worldview and the reshaping from the depths of my heart?"

Leto suddenly felt that even if he were given a floating mage tower, he didn't seem to want to face this dragon very much!
