Under the Red Dragon
#235 - Konoe
Germott the White Dragon's scales resembled carved ice crystals. Its body coiled, hanging in the air. The ice-forged head was raised high, its icy blue vertical pupils fixed on the two aberrant dragons appearing in the black clouds above.
Having broken through the Eternal Punishment Realm, the blue dragon Kalite, covered in blood and with one wing torn off, staggered out. The green dragon Ellie, her scales tightly locked, also sensed an opening as her magical power was released and quickly darted out of the realm.
"Get behind me, Kalite," the blue dragon Akxz said in a deep voice.
Akxz, the blue dragon, had faint azure currents of electricity hidden on its massive horn. Its thick, long body stretched across the sky, using draconic skills to firmly lock onto the two terrifying dragons, covering the retreat of its companions.
Ellie, the green dragon, did not hide behind the two male dragons but stood shoulder to shoulder with them, facing the enemies in the sky.
Among the High Gomorrah dragon群, most were young dragons. Youth was their advantage; they were still developing and had ample room for growth and adjustment.
However, youth was also their disadvantage, meaning it was difficult for them to gain a strength advantage over much older dragons.
The dragons opposite them, as the dragons could clearly sense, were adults. They were two adult dragons.
Although multi-headed dragons were a relatively weak race, almost like white dragons among the chromatic dragons, only during the Ancient Dragon stage could they grow a fifth head, thus rivaling legendary power.
But an adult multi-headed dragon was enough to have an overwhelming advantage in physical strength over these young dragons.
Moreover, this creature, like the multi-headed hydra, had formidable vitality. All the heads of the multi-headed dragon had to be severed to kill it completely.
The black clouds enveloping the sky were this creature's unique magical ability. Dark magic, stinking cloud magic, and death cloud magic could greatly obscure the senses of enemies and opponents, restrict their movements, and allow the multi-headed dragon to launch surprise attacks at will.
This was why, although the multi-headed dragon race was not considered powerful, red dragons and storm giants were still on their list of enemies.
The origins of these multi-headed dragons were unknown, but they were ancient enough. In draconic lore, some sages and great scholars believed that these multi-headed dragons were an ancient branch of prehistoric dragons that had been hibernating for millions of years.
Other scholars believed that multi-headed dragons were a downward-derived branch of higher dragons, created by supernatural forces, such as the chromatic dragon goddess Tiamat, and altered at birth.
The other dragon was a being that the blue dragon Akxz and the white dragon Germott had to be wary of.
"Eternal Punishment Dragon,"
Having studied the dragon heritage in his bloodline, the white dragon Germott opened his mouth, bared his teeth, and coldly uttered three words.
Eternal Punishment Dragon. This powerful dragon was one of the top dragons even among all the true dragon species in the world of Akaniia.
Before the juvenile stage, the Eternal Punishment Dragon was a level stronger than even the strongest red dragon among the chromatic dragons, not only because the Eternal Punishment Dragon was born with two breath abilities—disintegration field and weakening gas breath.
The former was an extremely powerful offensive breath ability, and the latter was a powerful auxiliary offensive breath ability. Creatures affected by the latter, if their will was not firm enough and their minds not strong enough, would be affected by magic similar to the negative spell—overwhelming despair.
There were also powerful spell-like abilities, each with its own wonders. If this dragon's usual habitat did not overlap with that of many true dragon species, it might also be feared by many creatures.
Only after adulthood would this dragon's rapidly growing power be caught up with and gradually surpassed by the red dragon.
"You are also a dragon. We are of the same race. Why are you willingly associating with giants? You should be traveling with dragons, soaring under the sky with us."
"You should belong to the kingdom of dragons."
The white dragon Germott's eyes swept over the orderly legion commander on the city wall, who was ordering many warriors to load crossbows and cannons to block the giants outside the city wall.
His and Akxz's mission was to delay these two adult dragons, who were agile enough to inflict great damage and impact on the battlefield.
According to the empire's defense instructions, the dragon lords in each city could issue a level three warning when encountering unforeseen dangers, summoning dragon lords from neighboring cities to assist in repelling the enemy.
A level three warning meant that the strength of a single city and dragon lord was not enough to repel the danger and drive away the enemy, so the dragon lords of nearby cities needed to provide support.
If the strength of the first gathering was not enough to resist the danger facing the city, the dragon lord could raise the level of the warning until it reached the highest level of alert.
This was also a link in the defense system initially created by the ever-expanding Golden Empire.
The white dragon Germott, the blue dragon Akxz, and the green dragon Ellie only needed to buy time, waiting for new dragons to join the battle, or waiting for their warriors to deal with the giants outside before driving the two adult dragons away.
"Hehe, dragons don't have this concept, even if we all call ourselves dragons."
The Eternal Punishment Dragon, whose face always wore a sneer and mockery, but that was just its normal expression, poked its head out of the black clouds. The mocking expression became very vivid because at this moment, this dragon was genuinely mocking the words of the white dragon Germott.
"Although it is in our nature, we dragons of this bloodline are also driven by a mission."
The Eternal Punishment Dragon sneered, "We Eternal Punishment Dragons use the Land Promised by the Gods as a confined realm, but we never expected that we were the keepers there, but also the prisoners there."
"Even today, when we have been abandoned by the gods, that mountain range is still the prison of our Eternal Punishment Dragons. Heheha, the former prisoners have become my masters, but I have not received any pity."
"This is a dragon," the Eternal Punishment Dragon sneered loudly. In its pair of dark eyes, an eerie green light flickered. At this time, the boiling magic power caused the souls of many imprisoned prisoners to roar and struggle from the strange striped patterns on its scales, revealing their faces and wailing towards the dragons below.
"Even if we were driven by dragons, it was always taken for granted. This is the dragon you speak of, the dragon ruled by those high and mighty dragon gods!"
The roar of crossbows and heavy cannons sounded on the city wall, as if echoing the words of the Eternal Punishment Dragon, blasting open the minds of several dragon lords with a loud roar.
"Then you should stop and take a look at the kingdom of dragons. The Golden Empire is a kingdom created and ruled by true dragons,"
A calm voice sounded in the ears of the dragons confronting each other. Another dragon stepped out from the anchor point of the mind-energy transmission—the Golden Great Bell—and then transformed from a humanoid form into a strong dragon.
At this moment, the blue dragon Doss arrived here through the unique transmission channel of the dragon lords.
The three-headed dragon in the sky bared its teeth, and the three heads simultaneously sneered. It laughed, "You may temporarily block our actions, but your warriors cannot stop those giants."
"Dragons should be alone, coming and going as they please. Those dependents and forces are just tools for dragons to enjoy and exploit. Why do you care so much? Those cowardly little ones are not worthy of living in this world."
"Is that so?" The blue dragon Doss grinned. The blue dragon raised its head, and its huge dragon horns almost pierced the sky. The dragon's vision could see a rumbling shadow in the sky moving along its trajectory at a seemingly slow but actually very fast speed.
"Perhaps, you will be disappointed, you foolish fellow hiding in a remote corner with no clear understanding of the world," the blue dragon Doss mocked, "I strongly disagree with the first half of your words, but in my opinion, the second half of your words makes sense to you."
Crack.
When a huge magic enchantment slowly rose around Baystream City, centered on the life tree's settlement point,
The dazzling electric current surged on the blue dragon's body, which had not been active for a long time. The blue dragon roared and jumped, "Kill this ugly fellow first,"
"Prison of Azure Lightning,"
Boom.
Dull thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed in the black clouds. The blazing white lightning fell in a chain, piercing through layers of black clouds, inserting itself around the multi-headed dragon like a war spear. Strips of jumping lightning turned into shackles, and then turned into a cage, trapping the adult multi-headed dragon inside.
"Roar."
The dragons, already accustomed to cooperation, flapped their wings and rose up at the same time, roaring. The biting frost and azure lightning attacked simultaneously, and the gnarled vines that had swelled against the wind flaunted their tentacles and thorns, rushing straight into the high sky.
The dragon's battle broke out in the high sky. In the black clouds that exploded in a chain, strips of dragons shuttled and pounced.
But even the sky where dragons soar is not the highest under the dome.
The newest novel is first published on 6⊥9⊥book⊥吧⊥⊥!
Under the dome, above the clouds, a huge shadow seemed slow, but in fact, it was moving in a uniform circular motion at an extremely fast speed. The clouds in the sky were directly pushed away by this tall building covered in magical shadows.
But the sunlight in the sky could be pushed away in the magical shadows on the tall building, and it did not affect the place under the shadows.
Only the eagles and griffins flying extremely high in the sky could see when they approached that in this vast shadow was a tall spire standing above the high sky and constantly moving.
The huge energy crystal on the spire, shaped like a huge dragon's eye, was watching every place under the high sky dome.
This dragon's eye was connected to the elemental channel inside the mage tower, providing sufficient magic power to cover the magic shadows on every part of this mage tower, which was only one floor but six meters high and had a base twenty meters wide, so that the strong winds in the high sky could not affect the mage tower's trajectory.
The space inside the tower seemed to be much wider than the space the tower itself could accommodate. The wide internal space was enough to accommodate a huge square.
Inside the mage tower, tall energy pillars stood, surrounding the huge elemental pool in the center, injecting the elemental power of several connected small elemental planes into the elemental pool.
The vigorously surging elemental power was then diverted from the elemental pool, flowing through the energy channels inside the mage tower, providing the majestic power to make the mage tower fly in the sky.
Teams of busy spellcasters and scholars in the mage tower used various magical instruments to record and correct the trajectory of this first floating mage tower born in the Golden Empire.
After plane development and trade with arcane merchants from the astral world and various civilized countries, the Golden Empire was finally able to build the first reduced version of the elemental pool and experimental mage tower and successfully lift off.
If these mages and scholars were not guided and controlled, they could easily cause some trouble. Fortunately, Kalon always had sufficient plans, waiting for his scholars and mages to research and implement.
The lifting of the mage tower was only a small step in the empire's construction of an aerial defense system. These mages were mobilized to measure the operating track for the subsequent lifting of the mage tower.
In the defense system construction documents issued by the military, at least dozens of mage towers need to be raised in the future imperial airspace on the current land area.
These mage towers will orbit the imperial airspace like stars running on the astral sky, flying day and night along the construction track. They are the unbreakable steel dome of the Golden Empire and the most powerful offensive weapon of the Golden Empire.
But even the mage tower is only preparing for the subsequent floating city plan, so these mages must collect data and perform a considerable amount of calculation to create a perfect track for the subsequent construction of the defense system.
Beside these busy mages, there were also tall golems standing. These golems consisted of golem legions composed of different types of golems such as clay golems, iron golems, alchemy golems, and boulder golems and dragon bone golems.
The souls that drove the golems came from the elemental lives captured by the empire from those small planes. This batch of ordinary golems was also an experimental product.
This batch of products will be put into various imperial border cities by the floating mage tower to enhance the empire's defense strength and test and collect relevant data for scholars to improve later.
And those who were responsible for putting in this batch of golem legions and supervising these mages were a group of warriors wearing Achilles heavy magic-powered armor, and they were also the most powerful arms in the empire—the Emperor's Imperial Guard.
To some extent, the Imperial Guard was enough to represent the will of the ancestral red dragon and had a very high position in the empire.
The Achilles heavy magic-powered armor they wore meant that as long as these Imperial Guard warriors did not fall down and left their fragility to the enemy, they would always have strong power, which was enough to prove how powerful this custom armor bound to the souls of the Imperial Guard warriors was.
The beheading-horse-powered heavy blade held by the Imperial Guard warriors was a high-end weapon developed by the Imperial Magic Integration Department. On the surface of the magic steel, it was attached with magic that electroplasmized the ultra-high temperature state of flames. Driven by the Imperial Guard warriors' own mind power, the beheading-horse heavy blade in their hands could be transformed into a high-density blade, which was enough to cut off all the steel in the world.
Therefore, when these Imperial Guard warriors in the tower paid attention to the movement of Baystream City through magic projection, they just calmly picked up their beheading-horse heavy blade, walked to the mage tower's delivery and launching device, and waited quietly.
The senior mage in charge of the delivery and launching device widened his eyes, looked at the giants in the picture, and was attacking the wall of Baystream City, and couldn't help but angrily shouted, "This group of stupid dogs who came out of the stinking ditch and the corners of the mountains, if the construction of the mage tower was not perfect enough now, and I could not carry the latest developed magic-powered siege artillery, I would have blown up this group of stinking dog-like things with one shot."
"Get ready," the mage called out, waving his hand. "The Sky Citadel is descending rapidly and will reach the designated deployment distance in fifteen minutes."
Clack, clack, clack...
The visors of the Dragonscale Helmets worn by the Imperial Guard soldiers closed one after another, creating a continuous series of sounds. Their burning gazes shone out from the fierce dragon-faced helmets.
Boom!
The giants in the vanguard had already clashed with the ogres and trollkin beneath the city walls. The towering giants swung their weapons, smashing them against the low walls and creating gaps.
Although the giants also left behind several corpses, and others were injured to varying degrees, the thick-skinned giants still seemed unstoppable against the weak forces of the City of the Bight.
The cyclops, Asis, also swung his massive bone hammer, lunging forward, wanting to charge up a single blow to directly smash the city gate of the City of the Bight.
However, in the sky, a beam of intense light, as bright as the sun, fell, and a concentrated ray of light was projected from the high clouds, shining on the earth.
The cyclops Asis looked up to see a tall tower suspended in the air. A huge beam of light was projected from the bottom of the tower, and within the stable, fluctuating beam, warriors clad in blood-red armor descended from the sky, their fluttering crimson cloaks like fierce banners.
One after another, heavy golems fell to the earth like meteorites, landing on the giants' heads.
