Dragon Who Controls Time

Under the red sky, the Alpha tribe, surrounded by mountains, lives as peacefully and harmoniously as ever.

However, the harmonious life of the Alpha people is about to be broken today.

Suddenly, a simple and heavy stone door with countless magical patterns engraved on its surface appeared from the sky, hanging thousands of meters in the air, and the surrounding was full of fire element energy that gathered like a stream of flames.

The people of the Alpha tribe below subconsciously raised their heads.

They recognize this stone door, which is a physical portal belonging to the Lord of the Half Plane here.

Therefore, Alpha people are not too alert and vigilant.

However, what happened next still made these Alphas with many spellcasters look stunned.

Under their gaze, a sturdy male humanoid with a sense of majesty on his body passed through the stone gate, and then, in a flash of light, this man suddenly turned into a super-giant golden giant. The dragon, with its golden dragon scales shimmering, made people even feel a little dazzling.

The ancient golden dragon took a deep breath.

The air of the lava demiplane, which is full of fire elemental energy, made him feel more comfortable, but the smell of sulfur and ash dust in the air caused the golden dragon to frown slightly.

Jinlong likes this environment, but not completely.

The emergence of super-giant golden dragons is just the beginning.

Immediately afterwards, a figure passed through the stone gate one after another, arrived at the top of the Lava Half Plane from the Noah Continent on the other side, and then, like the previous Golden Dragon, quickly restored the appearance of the giant body.

Soon, a total of thirty-two metal dragons with at least a giant size appeared in the Alpha's field of vision.

The dragons of different attributes are layered on top of each other, surging like waves in the raging sea, and the air in the area covered by the heavy dragons is almost stagnant, even if it is just the dragons that these legendary dragons radiate unconsciously, when they overlap. , still made the creatures within a radius of dozens of miles feel almost suffocated, as if the heart and throat were pressed by an invisible big hand.

The spellcasters of the Alpha clan have had to cast many protective spells.

Buzz....... The shields made of flames unfolded, wrapping their individuals, and at the same time protecting the entire Alpha tribe inside, but under the oppression of Longwei, these shields Flickering, flickering.

The caster inside was pale, and at first glance, he was under great pressure.

At the same time, when a group of strange metal dragons from Metal Dragon Island passed through the stone gate and descended into the sky of the lava half-plane, a young man with silver hair and eyes as deep as time finally stepped out of the portal. .

In a flash of light, suddenly, a 46-meter-long super-giant legendary dragon leaped into the air.

Even among more than 30 giant dragons of legendary strength, this silver dragon is undoubtedly the most striking one among them.

Whether it is the shape that crowns all true dragons, or the four sinuous dragon horns, and the mysterious black scales embedded in the ring, they all show his distinctive identity and unique temperament.

The moment Garen appeared, he grabbed the limelight of the ancient golden dragon.

"Seniors, please restrain Longwei."

Garen maintained a polite attitude and said calmly.

Although his strength is the strongest among a group of legendary dragons, his age is much worse than that of these metal dragons, which are at least old dragons. There is no problem in calling them seniors. Jialong is not a dragon who maintains his identity.

After hearing Garen's words, the metal dragons came back to their senses.

They realized that their dragon power had greatly oppressed the nearby family members of Jialong, so they took the initiative to put away the dragon power restraint.

Garen called them a senior out of courtesy, and they didn't dare to really pretend to be a so-called senior.

"Garon, are the human tribes below your family?"

"So many spellcasters!"

At this point, Rockveld noticed the Alpha tribe.

The eyes of this ancient golden dragon were attracted by the mage spires standing in the tribe. He took a closer look and found that there were more than 200 spellcasters in this human tribe with only a thousand people, and there were even some middle-ranking people. A powerful individual in a high position.

Such a situation made the well-informed ancient golden dragon look shocked.

"A talented tribe, I also accidentally discovered them in the lava demiplane."

"The people of this tribe are naturally powerful in magic, and I plan to cultivate them well."

Because the legendary real dragons put away their dragon power, the flickering flame shield in the Alpha tribe gradually dissipated.

At this time, the archmage Anya, whose realm has been stabilized in the ninth ring, raised her head and stared at the sky. In the terrifying dragon figure in the sky, she saw the familiar silver dragon, and her nervous heart slowly eased.

"Gifted............."

"Such a number of spellcasters have never been seen before. If the population can maintain such a proportion after the expansion, it will be a terrifying force."

Rockveld let out a long sigh.

After a pause, he looked at the eight-year-old giant dragon that was a few laps bigger than himself, and said, "Jianren, your relatives are unusual, you have to pay more attention to them."

"If the blade in your hand is too sharp, you may injure yourself."

Garen nodded and said with a smile: "I understand, but I have enough confidence in myself."

Even if the Alpha Tribe is thriving, and after a long period of time, it will finally restore the glory of the former Alphatiya Empire. By then, Gallen will definitely have obtained the divine-like power of the gods, and can still hold this powerful magic empire in his hands.

No matter how strong the magic empire is, it is nothing but an empire composed of mortal objects. In the face of gods and god-like creatures, it is ultimately the disadvantaged party.

Garen had previously thought that the destruction of the Alphatiya Empire might have been caused by some gods who sensed the potential threat of this empire with infinite potential, and used some means to cause it to eventually shatter and fall apart.

Closer to home.

Garen called Anya.

"These real dragons come from the same main material world as me, and they are metal dragons that uphold kindness and justice."

"In the next period of time, they will stay in the Alpha tribe."

"Metal dragons are not difficult to get along with. Praise them for their kindness and courage. Don't do bad things in front of them. They will most likely be nice to you."

"The Alpha Tribe should treat them well and not neglect them."

Jialong's face was calm, and Anya's figure was reflected in the platinum dragon eyes.

Anya bowed slightly and said, "Please rest assured, Anya understands what to do."

After a pause, Anya looked puzzled, glanced at the many metal dragons who had turned into human figures, and watched and looked at the Alpha tribe curiously, and then whispered to Garen: "You have gathered so many legends in the lava half-plane. Dragon, is something going to happen?"

"The fire mages of the Alpha tribe are ready to serve you at any time."

There was no change in the expression on the silver dragon's face, and he said plainly: "It's enough for you to do your best to do your job. When you need you, I will naturally tell you."

Anya nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Immediately, Garen found the ancient golden dragon Lockvid, who had transformed into a human form, and said, "Senior, you can rest here temporarily, and let me know if you need anything."

"The lava demiplane has some special scenery, you can go and see."

Rockveld nodded, and then asked: "Garon, when will the enemy forces coveting the half-planes you say come?"

"More than five months, it won't be long."

Five months is a very short period of time for these legendary metal dragons, and they can completely wait for the arrival of the other party.

"You seem sure."

Rockveld glanced at Garen.

Jialong said in a calm voice: "The long river of time is mysterious and great, and I am determined by the power of time."

The power of time....Rockveld nodded lightly and said with a smile: "I see, I feel sad for those guys who are eyeing your territory."

Immediately, Garen left the Alpha tribe.

The silver dragon fanned its wings, walked through the red sky, and soon came to the Burning Flame Mountains.

Feeling the breath of Garen, the red dragon Rowell and the red dragon Greza quickly came out to greet them.

"How is the task I gave you now?"

Garen didn't talk nonsense and asked directly.

Rowell grinned and said, "We have lived up to your trust, and we have found what you want to know during this time."

"Where?"

"The undulating mountain community is in the territory where the earth element beings live. It is not within the scope of the Stone City Labyrinth, and it is already close to the boundary of the half plane..."

Before Rowell could speak, Gretha responded quickly.

The words were spoken first by Gresha, causing Rowell to look fierce, staring at his spouse with a pair of eyes, and spewing sparks from his nose, while Gresha looked so relaxed and completely unafraid, ignoring it. Rowell's angry eyes.

Grab the credit with me in front of Lord Garon, the damned dragon....... Rowell turned his head angrily, and didn't look at Greza with a shy face.

Because Garen was right next to him, Rowell endured.

However, this red dragon had already made up his mind, and when Gallen left, he would let Gresha know how powerful it was.

"Lord Cannon, let me show you."

Rowell looked at Garen and hurriedly said.

"Okay, take me there."

It's not enough to just listen to the description of Gresha's location and location. Garen has to go there in person to clarify the location of the other party's arrival.

Rowell turned his head and glared at Gretha, showing a triumphant look.

Next, under the leadership of the red dragon, Garen came to a familiar place.

The dusty, gray sky, crisscrossed by the gray-white jagged giant mountains, there is not a trace of green that represents vitality around, everything on the earth looks barren and withered, and only some earth element life of various shapes is faintly visible.

The scene here is somewhat familiar to Garen.

Because he has seen it here in the picture of predicting the future.

The only difference is that the twelve hundred-meter-long magic ships have not yet appeared in the sky here.

"Twelve magic ships...I don't have such a collection yet."

The magic ship used for sailing across planes, from the hull material to every magic rune on it, is far higher in quality than ordinary magic props, and its value exceeds that of ordinary legendary props. Garon said that he didn't want that, which was false.

Although it may not be useful to him, he just wants it.

When you see good things, you are guilty of collecting.

The location and time of the other party's arrival are clarified, and the next step is to prepare for this.

Garen looked around, his eyes swept away.

The energy of the earth element is extremely dense here, and it is very simple to arrange a magic array with a single attribute.

Although he is not proficient in magic circles, there are some legendary metal dragons who specialize in this aspect, and many earth giants in the Stone City Labyrinth are also good at this aspect.

Under the dome of flames, time passed calmly and at a constant speed.

From time to time, Galen used to predict the future to observe possible variables, and at the same time patiently prepared.

The main material world, the continent of Kane, the second empire of Imaskar.

One side of a majestic mountain of thousands of feet has been artificially transformed, and countless huge platforms and mountain tracks have been built. On the surface of the facilities and buildings that can be seen with the naked eye, dense runes are dotted among them, showing its powerful strength. Magic craft.

This is the magic dock of the Second Empire of Imaskar.

The crowds, as busy and orderly as ants, keep moving here, performing their own tasks.

On some huge platforms connected to the mountains, there were moored magic ships ranging from 100 meters to 600 meters in length, and ferocious magic-guided cannons could be vaguely seen above.

Human figures on the magic ship come and go, doing various repairs and maintenance for it.

Check for spells fixed to the hull, the power core of the magic ship, for cracks in the hull or leaks where the spell shield is weak...

The atmosphere was warm and in full swing.

The leader of the twenty-first magic fleet, Grantham Auston, is sitting in the command room of a two-hundred-meter-long magic ship.

His age seemed to be around fifty years old, his hair was black with a little gray mixed in, and he didn't seem to have any special features in his appearance, but his eyes were bright and full of energy.

Grantham tapped lightly on the table with his fingers, looking at a document silently with a thoughtful look on his face.

"A half plane composed of earth elements and fire elements............"

"After analyzing the proportion of elements in the air, there is a 99% probability that this elemental half-plane contains rich resources, nearly 100 million square kilometers. It is conservatively estimated that it is enough to support the exploration of the imperial fleet for a hundred years."

Tuk Tuk Tuk

The tapping of the knuckles of the fingers and the tabletop was slow and unhurried.

The magic power rippling, the document flipped automatically, and the content was displayed in front of Grantham page by page.

"I was attacked by a suspected red dragon's breath during a survey of a half plane. There may be a red dragon in this half plane. Judging from the damage caused by the opponent, it has not yet reached the legend."

"................."

Soon, Grantham closed his eyes slightly, thinking about what to do with this newly discovered demiplane.

The magic fleet of the Second Empire of Imaskar was established not long ago.

The first vision of establishing a magic fleet is not to communicate with other main material world forces, nor to invade other main material worlds to expand the territory of the empire. Find your way home.

Faerun Continent.

Origins of the Second Imaskar Empire.

The reason why the Second Imaskar Empire is called the Second Empire is because before it, there was a destroyed Imaskar Empire. In order to save the fire, the Imaskar Empire sent a group of people away in the war of destruction. .

The surviving Imaskar people carry imperial secrets, which contain the inherited knowledge of the Imaskar Empire.

Due to the unbroken inheritance and the leadership of legendary figures, after the development of the new main material world for more than 3,000 years, the fire was rekindled.

In order to remember their origins, they were reborn on the continent of Cairn under the name of the Second Empire of Imaskar.

Today, the flag of the Second Empire of Imaskar flutters in every corner of Kane Continent.

The current strength of the Second Imaskar Empire is comparable to the most glorious moments in the past. However, the people of the Second Imaskar Empire have an obsession in their hearts.

They don't belong to Kane.

They are from Faerûn.

The people of the Second Imaskar Empire have lingering attachment to their hometown, so after the unification of Kane, the Second Imaskar Empire set out to build a magic fleet, hoping to find the Lord of Faerun. material world.

At the beginning, in order to prevent the powerful enemy from cutting down the grass and roots, the Imaskar Empire, which was on the verge of destruction, erased all anchor points and coordinates when transferring the fire out of the main material world.

Therefore, to find Faerun in the innumerable main material world, it is also a difficult task that consumes countless resources and time and energy for the prosperous Imaskar Second Empire.

The exploration and consumption of the main material plane has caused the resources of Kane Continent to gradually shrink.

As a result, the Second Imaskar Empire formed another batch of magic fleets.

The mission of this batch of magic fleets is not to explore. What they have to do is to find planes or material worlds rich in resources, and then mine the resources to support the exploration fleet.

Mining the resources of other planes is doomed to conflict with the indigenous races.

Therefore, the ships of this batch of Magic Fleet have relatively powerful combat capabilities.

The twenty-first magic fleet led by Grantham is one of them.

Due to the importance of his position, and Grantham's many achievements in his career, he has obtained a lot of resources for the imperial fleet, and he even holds a secret weapon bestowed by the second emperor of the empire.

"A rare elemental demiplane."

"If nothing else, the most powerful creatures are the elemental giants."

"Moreover, in terms of the elemental energy concentration and purity of this elemental half-plane, the most legendary elemental giants are born, and it is impossible for an elemental master to exist."

Grantham opened his eyes and muttered to himself.

There are many demi-planes, but elemental demi-planes are uncommon. In Grantham's decades of fighting career, it is also the first time that elemental demi-planes are discovered.

As for the idea of ​​the lava half-plane, he was almost the same as Gallen's idea.

Because that's what it is.

Whether the elemental life is strong or not is related to the concentration and quantity of the corresponding elemental energy in the environment, and it is easy to infer the upper limit of the strength of the elemental giants in the elemental half plane.

The sound of the finger tapping became more and more rapid.

Grantham thought for a few more hours.

He wanted to be the captain of the battle fleet.

The position remained vacant due to the lack of a person who had done enough to convince the other fleet leaders.

Grantham was a serious and reserved man, he was not a man of words, and he had no love for possessions or beauty.

But it was the right alone that fascinated him.

He climbed from the bottom step by step to the leader of the twenty-first magic fleet, but he was never satisfied with it.

Only by obtaining the position of commander-in-chief can he temporarily stop.

To achieve this goal, he needs a lot of military merit.

Finally, when it was getting late, when a ray of dim sunlight fell on Grantham's face through a gap in the window, he made a decision that he would regret for the rest of his life.

"Pass my order, convene the pilot crew and combat personnel, the twenty-first magic fleet is about to set sail!"

"Captain Grantham, this half-plane is no trivial matter. There may be dragons in it. Are you sure we want to mine it alone? It's better to cooperate with the 20th and 18th fleets, their ships and personnel are currently idle. ."

The deputy captain frowned and asked.

Grantham's face sank, and suddenly said, "Who is the captain of the twenty-first magic fleet?"

The deputy captain was slightly startled, and subconsciously said, "Of course it's you."

Grantham said solemnly: "Of course it's me, so you only need to execute my orders, I don't need you to teach me to do things."

Cooperating with other fleets can make things easier, but there is no doubt that a lot of credit must be given to this, and Grantham does not think that a small half-plane can withstand the power of his fleet. offensive.

Since mining the alien world is not a simple matter, the magic fleet in charge of this matter gathers the vast majority of the powerhouses of the Imaskar Second Empire.

Grantham's twenty-first fleet, including himself, has nine legendary artificers! In addition, there are hundreds of high-level artificers and about 2,000 intermediate artificers!

Low-level artificers don't deserve to join the fleet at all.

Every intermediate artificer here is an elite of the same level, a leader.

As long as his magical fleet is willing, it is enough to easily conquer the power of the human kingdom.

Grantham is not a reckless man.

If things don't work, he will definitely choose to cooperate with other fleets.

But how many legends can a mere elemental demiplane have? Even if there is a powerful dragon clan, how many legendary dragons and ancient dragons can there be?

It's not like there will be dozens of legendary dragons popping out of a small half plane, right?

Grantham is not afraid of the dragons, because the dragons have always fought independently, and in the environment of the lava half-plane, if nothing else, there are at most some red dragons who like to be alone, and it is impossible for a group to unite. The metal dragon is waiting for him.

Grantham really didn't know how the natives of the half planes should resist his fleet, and he didn't know how to lose.

This is not blind confidence, but a judgment based on the circumstances of both parties.

Even, in Grantham's opinion, using the entire twenty-first magic fleet is a very prudent approach. It stands to reason that less than half of the fleet's strength is enough to capture this small half-plane.

"You are serious, I just hope that this half-plane can be captured more securely."

"Since you have made a decision, I naturally dare not go against it."

The deputy captain lowered his head and said.

Grantham has a strong and serious personality. He is usually taciturn, but when he speaks, he can't tolerate anyone's refutation. He likes to dominate the power. .

"A half plane, can it stop my fleet?"

Grantham glanced at the co-captain.

"Yes, yes, that's what you said."

The lieutenant nodded with a smile and no longer expressed his own opinion.

In the early days, Grantham could listen to other people's opinions, but as his power increased, he became more and more stubborn and difficult to get along with.

When this mission is over, I will request to leave the fleet and accompany my relatives and children in the future...... The deputy captain's mind flashed the appearance of his wife and children, and then look at the silence Strict Grantham, thought so.

He felt that following Grantham, even if nothing happened now, he would be unlucky sooner or later.

Soon, the order was passed out and issued layer by layer.

Like the gears of precision machinery turning, the twenty-first magic fleet locked the lava half-plane and was ready to go.

The magic fleet is huge, and it cannot be moved by persuasion.

After the decision to invade the lava demiplane, it will take some time for preparation, crew mobilization, inspection and maintenance of the magic ship, etc............

Time passed slowly, the sun rose and set.

The magic dock built on the huge mountain blocks the sunlight, forming continuous shadows that extend or contract with the changes of sunlight.

After a short period of time, the 21st Magic Fleet was ready and was about to start its official sailing.

Grantham was wearing a neat captain's uniform, with a medal of merit bestowed by the Second Emperor of the Imaskar on his chest.

He faced the crew members who were waiting for them, and said solemnly: "I will bring you back triumphantly again and again, and this time will be no exception."

"When we return with a full harvest, in the glory of the light, the people of the empire will cheer for us, and offer us flowers and wine."

"At this moment, I hereby announce that the twenty-first magic fleet has officially set sail!"

The crew shouted in unison.

"For Imaska!"

"For Imaska!"

"................"

Immediately afterwards, the formations on the magic ships were activated.

The cumbersome and precise magic patterns lit up, and the blue light was like liquid energy, flowing and flickering between the magic patterns, and the egg-shaped shield wrapped the magic ship and the human figures on it.

at the same time.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The dull voice sounded like Hong Zhong Da Lu, as if it struck everyone's heart.

The magic dock is lit up with the brilliance of spells, and the mountains of thousands of meters are sparkling.

At this moment, the space is like a transparent piece of paper, which is stirred by a pair of invisible hands to breed wrinkles.

The folds of space quickly burst, and under the action of countless magic symbols, it became a phase gate that crossed the plane. The sun shone down, and was swallowed up by the deep and dark phase gate without a trace.

Immediately, twelve magic ships left the dock one after another and rose into the air.

Grantham stood on the bow of the largest magic ship, with his hands behind his back, his hair clinging to his head because of the blistering wind, and his face was calm, showing a look of being in control.

*

*

*

A phase gate is no different than a normal plane portal, it requires a period of time to navigate the phlogistic ocean between the planes.

The voyage between planes is full of danger and uncertainty. Everyone on the magic fleet is silent, and some nervousness can be seen on their faces.

Tension for sure.

If there is an accident on the magic ship, the creatures directly exposed to the phlogiston sea will not be able to hold on to the legend for too long, and the crew members below the legend will die almost instantly. During the time when the magic ship was out, many magic ships left the dock and went silent.

Nine times out of ten it was damaged by various accidents.

Even now that the construction technology of magic ships of the Second Empire of Imaskar is becoming more and more mature, occasionally magic ships are damaged in the process of passing through the phase gate, causing all the crew members to disappear into the phlogiston ocean with unknown life and death.

Time passed silently.

I don't know how long it has passed, after a long journey of darkness and nothingness, a phase gate glowing with a faint red sheen, with a hint of sulfur and lava, jumped into Grantham's field of vision.

He was slightly startled, and then said solemnly: "All ship personnel are ready, we are about to reach the target half plane."

Immediately, a magic ship passed through the phase gate, crossed the crystal wall of the lava half-plane, and came to this elemental half-plane full of fire element energy and earth element energy.

Grantham's vision blurred for a moment as he passed through the phase gate.

Vaguely, he saw a huge outline of different colors, located around the magic ship.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Grantham had a bad premonition in his heart.

Under the stimulation of magic, his vision returned to clarity.

So, without any psychological preparation, he saw a terrible scene under the flame sky of the lava half-plane.

The giant dragons with a length of at least 30 meters are distributed in a ring, and the sound of tearing the air when the dragon wings flap one after another. Get up with a dignified expression of justice.

That look seems to say: little brother, are you surprised or surprised?

Within the encirclement, the dragon's breathing sounded like thunder.

The breath of legendary creatures came from all directions, filling almost every inch of the surrounding space. The rolling dragon might emanate along with the breath of the giant dragons, making the magic ship feel like it was in the fierce sea on a rainy day, shaky. .

Every real dragon here, except for the two red dragons mixed in like soy sauce, are all terrifying dragons with legendary strength.

In particular, among the legendary dragons, there are three behemoths over forty meters in length.

The breath of these three super-giant true dragons was like an abyss, which shocked the faces of the legends on the magic ship. Although they were in a scorching hot space, their bodies seemed to be half cold in the cold winter.

For the first time, Grantham thought he had fallen into an illusion.

But the real breath and appearance of the legendary dragons made him have to believe that the scene he saw was real.

Grantham reacted and immediately realized that his fleet was simply not enough for these legendary dragons.

His heart nearly stopped.

However, on the surface, Grantham's serious face instantly became gentle and friendly.

Grantham looked at the largest silver dragon, and spoke under the indifferent gaze of the other party.

"Hello, Lord True Dragon, I am from the Second Empire of Imaskar, and I came here for the purpose of friendly exchanges."

"I think there seems to be some misunderstanding between us."
