Under the Red Dragon

Akkez and Germot were lying in the paradise where the young dragons used to rest, chewing on fruits.

Thanks to the nourishment of sufficient moisture and sunlight, these diverse fruits were full of sugar and juice, making them the two dragons' favorite after-dinner dessert.

The two dragons each lay under their favorite fruit tree. When they wanted to eat fruit, they would use their long, powerful tails to shake the tree, then open their mouths under the tree, waiting for the falling fruits to drop in.

This was actually very inefficient, but it suited the behavior of these lazy dragons.

During this time, the white dragon Germot had developed much faster. With a sufficient food supply, his body length had reached more than five meters, but his severed tail had not grown back.

The dense white scales all over his body had also gained many scratches, and there was an unhealed scar on his cheek where white thorns grew, making him look like a qualified warrior.

The same was true for the blue dragon Akkez, who had also gained many scars, with signs of wear and tear everywhere on his blue scales.

However, the young blue dragon was much stronger than the white dragon, so he had fewer scars.

During this time, without the deterrent aura of Kallet and the patrols of the dragon group, even with the presence of the young dragon Akkez, the dragon nest territory had attracted many monsters and beasts to spy and attack.

No one would refuse to own more fertile territory, and a young dragon plus a baby dragon was not qualified to walk unhindered in this vast wilderness.

Even the original Kallet only huddled in the territory, with no intention of expansion.

And Germot was also growing rapidly in this constant battle. With the help of Akkez, the centaur tribe, and the ogre slave warriors, he repelled many monsters that came to spy and successfully defended the former Dragon Nest Mountains.

However, because the dragon group's territory now consisted of the original territory plus the territories of the centaur tribe and the ogre tribe, it had far exceeded the limit of what the two dragons could manage.

Therefore, Germot and Akkez had to abandon part of the territory and switch to a full contraction state.

Even so, the expanded territory area still made the two dragons feel overwhelmed, and the declining ogre tribe was also coveted.

As for that giant slave ogre, Germot and Akkez did not trust her.

The sweet juice of the fruit burst in the white dragon's mouth, and Germot wagged his tail and shook his head, intoxicated by the sweet taste.

Suddenly, a green shadow flashed through the forest. The white dragon's excellent dynamic vision captured the appearance of this shadow. He immediately called out, "Raven?"

Germot and Akkez squatted, looking at a red scale in the pixie's hand. It contained Kalon's aura. This was a scale that the red dragon had actively shed, as a token for Raven to gain the trust of Germot and Akkez.

In fact, Raven didn't need to bring the red dragon's scales. Although the other young dragons had no feelings for pixies,

she was Kalon's friend, and Kalon's friend was the dragon group's friend. That's what the white dragon thought.

"Is this Kalon's intention, to have us give up the dragon group's territory, not only to protect those who come from being disturbed and threatened by those monsters, but also to help them develop here?"

The blue dragon Akkez was obviously a little distrustful of the pixie's words, perhaps unwilling to believe it.

Dragons were greedy creatures. In recent days, the various rare gems that the kobold retinues had dug up in the mines could easily cover the floor of Akkez's former cave.

Now, not only did they have to give these things away, but they also had to give the dragon group's territory to those humans, which Akkez could not tolerate.

"No, that's not it," Raven's almost transparent wings fluttered as she hovered in front of the white dragon. "Kalon said to only temporarily give a space to these humans to develop,"

"and to only give up the ogres' territory. It's best not to disturb these humans in other places. This will also be useful for building the dragon group's territory."

The white dragon Germot nodded. "That's indeed like something Kalon would say. I believe you, Raven."

"Oh, right, Kalon also said to pay attention to those humans. If there are craftsmen and those who understand construction and various technologies among the humans, don't let them leave after they come to the dragon group's territory. These people are very useful," the pixie quickly added.

"Yes, I understand," the white dragon nodded. He actually said words of thanks to the pixie, reaching out his claws to pick an orange, his favorite fruit, from the tree and giving it to the pixie.

"Thank you, Raven. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know about Kalon's situation."

"We're friends, Germot," the pixie Raven patted her chest with a great sense of accomplishment, then picked up the full fruit. Raven was ready to leave.

She said goodbye to Germot and Akkez. "I'm leaving now to tell Kalon the good news. The magic portal that the mage helped me set up has a time limit. I have to hurry back."

The blue dragon watched the pixie's figure flicker away in the forest, then turned to look at the white dragon. "Are we really going to give all these things to those humans as she said? Maybe we can find a better way to save Kalon and the others."

The blue dragon was obviously still dominated by his own greed, and he was reluctant to part with the wealthy mines and resources of this land.

The white dragon stood up, his increasingly growing body gradually revealing a lean aura, and the dense scratches all over his body told of the white dragon's growth.

He glanced at the blue dragon with dissatisfaction, then said in a serious tone, "Akkez, don't be so shortsighted. The territory exists for the dragon group. As long as Kalon and the others can return from the human empire as soon as possible, I'm willing to give up everything."

"Is such a small piece of territory enough to make you reluctant? As long as Kalon and the others can return, we can conquer more territory and have more fertile and vast land. The dragon group's power is far greater than the power of the two of us."

The white dragon was now much more mature than the young dragon. A smile suddenly appeared on his face full of white thorns as he teased the young blue dragon.

"Akkez, don't let Kalon know you're so shortsighted, or he'll scold you for being a fool whose head has been squeezed by his butt. And you also know that Kalon's swearing is very vulgar, and you don't want to hear him pointing at your nose and scolding you all day, do you?"

Huff, the blue dragon breathed out, and dense lightning flashed through the air. He saw the shadow of the red dragon from the white dragon, the appearance of the dragon group's king who ruled the dragon group.

He nodded. "You're right, Germot. I will do everything I can to help you, just for Kalon and the others to return to this land as soon as possible."

The white dragon looked up at the sun in the middle of the sky. The glaring sunlight could not stop the brilliance flashing in the white dragon's eyes. He said in a firm tone, "I will also guard this land until Kalon returns!"
