Under the Red Dragon

As the dusky golden-red sun on the edge of the sky gradually disappeared below the mountains of the Dragon Nest, the ascending mage tower, operating on its predetermined orbit above the sky, bathed in the afterglow of the sun, slowly descended from the firmament and stopped among the floating clouds beneath the mountain peaks, all dyed with red clouds.

This is the central point of the empire's aerospace defense system, centered on the Golden Empire's Dragon Court, and in the future, it will be the foundation for radiating the entire empire's sky and land.

In the distance, dragons streak across the sky, these are the empire's lord dragons, Blue Dragon Doss, Blue Dragon Akxz and White Dragon Germot fly straight to the high peaks, disappearing into the deep clouds without a trace.

Green Dragon Ellie and Blue Dragon Kalite followed distantly after the other lord dragons.

One of Blue Dragon Kalite's wings was torn and broken, but this did not affect the dragon's flight ability, the dragon could still soar in the blue sky by controlling the wind and magic.

However, without the assistance of complete wings, Blue Dragon Kalite's huge body was difficult to change direction in the air, and it was also difficult to control speed, so Green Dragon Ellie, who had forged friendship on the battlefield, pressed her body against Blue Dragon Kalite, helping Blue Dragon Kalite adjust direction and speed, the two female dragons flew into the clouds side by side.

When the dragons flew across, the tower suspended in the sky on its predetermined orbit slowly released the magical dark veil, revealing its shadow.

A slender and ferocious adult multi-headed dragon was dropped into the air, heavily smashed on the wide steps in the mountains.

Following closely behind were tall storm giants, descending from the tower.

Finally, there were the emperor's guards, wearing Achilles heavy armor and carrying the heads of dead giants.

When the tower's delivery gate closed, the figure of Gabriel, the leader of the Imperial Guard, also landed on the ground.

Gabriel, who restrained his anima light wings, seemed to have restrained his gentle temperament as well, and his body, shrouded in a golden dragon mask, exuded a strong aura of the dragon bloodline, no longer as holy as before, but rather violent.

The storm giants, who had come to the country ruled by dragons for the first time, were restrained by this, and stood quietly aside, looking up at the cluster of peaks mountains protruding from the clouds.

Although among the cluster of peaks, the highest Fire Peak is only four thousand meters high, far less towering than the God forsaken Mountains. But the nests that have been inhabited by dragons for a long time also carry the same momentum and field as the dragons.

Legendary dragons can affect the field of an entire area around the nest. Although the dragons in the dragon群(龙群: dragon group) are not as strong as legends, their distinct momentum makes the towering peaks seem like dragons showing claws and fangs in the clouds, overlooking all living things.

Under the integration of the Lord of Dragons, the entire mountain range is being infected by the dragons, becoming the unique home field of these dragons.

Storm Giant Garcia even felt that the dragons in this mountain range were enough to possess a combat power two levels higher than the actual strength of the dragons themselves.

"Don't play dead, get up,"

The commander Garcia, having dismissed many guards, kicked the extremely miserable multi-headed dragon, this creature, the world's first to possess the blood of an ancestral red dragon, also liked to pierce the enemy's mandible and skull with chains, tethering the multi-headed dragon on a fine gold chain.

The untamed multi-headed dragon did not dare to disobey the enemy's order, and could only drag its heavily injured body, following behind Gabriel, along the steps, climbing step by step.

Storm Giant Garcia also led his people slowly up.

In fact, these storm giants are now insufficient to rely on their own size to come to the dragon's court.

According to the empire's regulations, these wild tribe races have special empire departments contacting, and even the lizardman leader Raley, who was awarded a ' spell breaking' treasured blade by the ancestral red dragon, failed to climb the summit as he wished.

This depends on the storm giant tribe's early brief but friendly communication with the dragon group, allowing these storm giants to climb the cluster of peaks as guests.

The quiet along the way did not make these storm giants surprised. Although there was not a single guard, the huge ancient war tree on both sides of the road were blatantly peeping at these rare outsiders.

Although some storm giants still felt grief and indignation about the decline of their tribe, they gradually became serious in the unusually quiet atmosphere.

However, the figure revealed in the clouds in the sky made Storm Giant Garcia couldn't help but look up.

A small young dragon, babbling between the rolling clouds, poking out its head, openly staring at the storm giant, looking left and right.

The small young dragon was still flying around over the giants' heads, and occasionally threw down two lumps of cloud threw beside the storm giant. But these cloud did not dissipate, but condensed into solid, like soft rice balls.

Even Garcia, who was confused about the road ahead and forcibly suppressing his sadness and anger, was relieved by the small young dragon's actions.

Because this young dragon was not teasing them, but was feeding the giants. The small young dragon babbling in strange dragon language that the storm giants could not understand, but the expression of its body movements made Garcia understand.

This young dragon thought that if the giants ate these desserts, they would become happy.

The giants did not refuse the dragon's kindness, and picked up the cloud one after another, holding them in their hands.

The happy young dragon then wagging its head and tail plunged into the clouds, and between the cloud disappearing, one could still see a dragon nest made of white cloud and rosy clouds floating in the high空(高空: high altitude) summit flowing wind.

But even the storm giants could not recognize this dragon species, which was shape similar to the gold dragon, obviously this was not one of the chromatic dragon or metallic dragon.

Noticing the giants' confused gaze, Gabriel, who was leading the way in front, smiled and explained: "This is not a dragon born in our world, it should be a dragon that accidentally drifted here from the rift where the worlds meet. Because it is gentle and harmless, it is being protected by the emperor, allowing it to nest and live in the clouds above the mountains."

"However, after the scholars consulted the data, we learned that this dragon species is called Cloud Dragon. You do not need to pay attention to its existence, it is just a little naughty and lively."

"These dragons live on rainwater, hail and small amount silver and meat for living. clouds are their snacks and desserts, that is a kindness of welcome to you."

Storm Giant Garcia silent nodded and barely revealed his smile.

Until climbing the summit, the giants realized that there were guards, but these guards were like lifeless pillars, standing in all directions, silent like the ten thousand years boulders in the mountains.

Even these powerful warriors wearing blood-colored armor did not making any movements even when they saw the adult dragon reduced to a prisoner, and even the Imperial Guard commander Gabriel's passing did not caused any fluctuations from these powerful guards.

The storm giants knew the powerful of these warriors. The giants led by the cyclops who chased them were slaughtered by these warriors like pigs and dogs, but it seemed that this standard of warriors was not uncommon in the kingdom of dragons.

And when the storm giants saw the majestic court, they couldn't help but awe the red dragon they had met before.

Especially beside the multi-headed dragon that was tethered to a rock pillar by Gabriel, there were also two dragons and basilisk that looked even more mighty lying.

This situation achieved part of the dragon群(龙群: dragon group)'s intention to demonstrate force, but the deepest feeling was felt by these storm giants who had friendly relations with the dragon群(龙群: dragon group).

Giant Garcia's feelings were more profound than those of ordinary clansmen. In the giant's senses, the young dragon that he had met not long ago, the weak dragon群(龙群: dragon group) that once needed the storm giants to extend a friendly hand to provide a temporary shelter for the dragons traveling long distances, had achieved such brilliant results in a short period of time.

young Garcia had also acted as a faithful listener in the conversation between his grandfather and the red dragon, but he did not expect that the once more powerful storm giants now needed the protection of these dragons.

This made Garcia rejoice his grandfather's choice and more deeply understand the wisdom his grandfather gained in his old years.

quietly standing in front of the majestic court, Garcia, who had begun to calm down, recalled his grandfather's teachings before his death, and his confused mind suddenly saw the way he was going to take, as if parting the clouds.

"The road is walked out, not thought out,"

Storm Giant Garcia's immature face, which had experienced hardships, had shed its immaturity and looked much more mature. In his purple eyes, there appeared an unprecedented firm will.

"The road is under my feet, grandfather, this is my decision, perhaps, it is also the choice I should make, for the entire tribe!"

……

In the court hall, the dragons gathered again.

Except for the young red dragon Cadiluos, who was sulking in the corner, depressed, turning his depression into appetite and gulping tasting delicious snacks, the rest of the dragons were determining the empire's policies in the discussion.

The two dragons who were mocked for not knowing transformation, the white dragon Camid contentedly shaking his head, the two heads competing to eat, he was already used to the special ecology in the dragon群(龙群: dragon group).

The young red dragon Cadiluos's depression was not because of simple mocking, but because his reputation suffered serious blow in the eyes of the female dragons in the dragon群(龙群: dragon group). The young red dragon, who was not very popular, could not win the favor of any female dragon.

Even the weakest white dragon Roni dared to show his face to Cadiluos.

The newly arrived steel dragon Midier was receiving the protection of all the dragons in the dragon群(龙群: dragon group). This dragon, who could earn wealth for the dragons, was in a much higher position than the young red dragon.

The discussion sound of many dragons was jarring in the ears of the young red dragon Cadiluos.

Caron sitting on his throne, did not speak. He had the heritage of the dragons and the knowledge accumulation passed down from his previous life for thousands of years. In fact, most of the problems could be easily solved.

But he hoped to cultivate these dragons with these things and let them stand on their own.

Although he wanted to become the sun in the sky, he also hoped that the partners around him would become shining light, stars and moons that were not covered by the sun. It would be interesting and not lonely to have stars all over the sky.

When the dragon群(龙群: dragon group) discussed and reached a result, Caron tapped his throne armrest, so that the hall filled with the accent echo of the dragons instantly subsided.

"Since this is the case, let's do it according to the way you discussed,"

" induce those pirates with benefits. pirates with enough wealth can purchase indulgences in the empire to redeem their past sins. The empire can protect these pirates and let them live and work in peace and contentment in the empire, have support in their old age, and let them avoid being hanged on the docks and execution ground."

"And some capable pirates can train the first batch of navy for the empire and have the official status of the empire,"

" pirates without enough wealth need to prove their value to the empire with their actions. Presumably, the pirates harassing the empire's sea trade routes will be reduced by more than half from now on. As for the rest of the pirates, either they are the black手套(黑手套: black gloves) of other nobles or they are stubborn elements. It will be easier to clean up them after sorting out the clues."

The words of the red dragon finalized, making the dragons who were discussing nodded indicating approval. The steel dragon Midier originally intended to propose her new plan to the king of the dragon群(龙群: dragon group).

The steel dragon Midier, who was familiar with the empire's economic situation for several months, believed that the good reputation accumulated by the dragons of the golden empire in the early stage and the empire's rising economic momentum were enough to establish an empire central bank specifically for economic regulation, guidance and harvesting profits.

This idea was not surprising. The goblin consortium in the southern continent relied on the customers and reputation accumulated by countless years of transactions to establish the goblin bank, thereby earning a large amount of wealth.

As a professional and relevant dragon, the steel dragon Midier would naturally be particularly attentive to economic projects that could earn wealth and benefit the empire. So she consulted the data of the goblin consortium and intended to emulate the goblins to establish a central bank belonging to the empire.

But after she saw the red dragon's action, the words on her lips were swallowed back by this thin dragon. The ancestral red dragon stood up from the throne and walked down the steps. This meant that the ancestral red dragon was not communicating with the dragons as the empire emperor.

Caron walked into the dragon群(龙群: dragon group). The ancestral red dragon's physique was unique in the dragon群(龙群: dragon group), setting off the blue dragon Kalite's body in front of him was particularly petite. The status of foster mother and adopted son between them seemed to be turned over.

The red dragon gently pressed his horn on the horn of the drowsy blue dragon Kalite. Among the dragons who were stingy to express their few feelings, Caron's action was already very prominent. He suddenly awoke the blue dragon Kalite, who was sleepy because of the injury but forcibly supporting to attend the council.

The ancestral red dragon showed his fangs slightly as he looked at the blue dragon Kalite's suddenly widened vertical pupils, turned his head and whispered to these dragons of Doss: "You have done well enough, but in this year when the storm will rise, it is not the best you can do!"

"Without me saying more, you will also inquire some clues from the empire's intelligence and some of the things that happened, if you are not so careless,"

The ancestral red dragon surrounded the dragon群(龙群: dragon group), and his dark gold vertical pupils with fragmented flame, accompanied by his words, "In this era that is destined to be turbulent, the time left for us is actually not much. We can suppress our claws to grow, but time will not wait for us."

" Rosani dedicated her power for the future of the dragon群(龙群: dragon group) and made my experiment successful. Therefore, today convening the dragon群(龙群: dragon group) here is not only because we are picking Rosani home, but also because we are embarking on our destined journey at this time."

"If we succeed, we will naturally stand high in the heavens, roaming freely in the vast universe. If we fail, we will merely embark on our destined journey a little earlier."

Clusters of spiritual light suddenly blazed on the ancestral red dragon's claws, shimmering brilliantly and dazzlingly, carrying a powerful attraction and temptation for the dragons.

This was a replica of a sliver of spiritual authority, condensed by Caron himself, integrating the Gluttony authority and analyzing and replicating it using the power of the spiritual domain.

This is also a seed of spirituality, which, in the hands of dragons who have given birth to anima, can quickly take root and sprout.

And this is also the most suitable ability for the current dragon group. Although it is not as powerful as the ancestral red dragon's bloodline talent, if it is carefully cultivated and grows strong, it can also have two-tenths of the effect of the ancestral red dragon's talent.

"Come, stand with me, the world is our hunting ground, and the Gogmora dragon group will be the apex predators!" The ancestral red dragon revealed its stark white fangs, flaunting its wings and claws, and smiled.
