Under the Red Dragon

In the deep autumn of the 13th year of the Dragon Calendar, the sun and moon dimmed, the constellations shifted, and time flowed like water.

Across the northern continent of Aikanya, winds stirred and clouds surged. In just two short years, the world's situation had shifted like waves on a calm sea, becoming unpredictable.

Looking down from the perspective of the long river of history, war and conquest were the eternal themes of the world.

Even the two hegemonic empires of the central continent had experienced multiple civil wars, and only through the efforts of several wise rulers had unified hegemony been established.

But even in the central continent, dominated by the two human empires, undercurrents still flowed. Not to mention the other regions where various nations contended and numerous races stood side by side.

The Drow of the Shadowed Depths were ambitious, seeking to expand their sphere of influence, and their conflicts with the elven kingdoms, who always holed up in the forests, grew increasingly acute.

The vampire species of the Secret Forest Country, under the rule of the Vampire Prince, had an increasingly close relationship with the dragons.

The military strength of the Secret Forest Country, which had previously been somewhat lacking due to restrictions from other kingdoms and civilizations, had grown stronger day by day through trade with the Golden Empire, and they began to try to step out of their own territory and reach their claws further afield.

Even the deep-sea Naga, blessed by the gods, who were born in the boundless sea, began to emerge from their nests and launched a war against their nemesis—the deep-sea fishmen.

The bloodline of the ancient giants, the tide giants, also appeared in this war. They manipulated seawater, stirring up monstrous waves, and seized the initiative in the war at sea.

Countless merchant trade fleets, when passing through the sea lanes, could see the towering waves sweeping across the sky and the earth, and this scene began to spread across various continents.

No one has ever been able to see through the situation in the world of Aikanya. The truth behind the heavy fog may be the struggle for survival among the various races, or it may be manipulated by ambitious individuals behind the scenes, which is impossible to know.

While other continents were turbulent, the northern continent was also fraught with storms.

Chalar Caesar, the former emperor of the Cathay Empire, went from peak to fall, and then climbed back to the peak from his downfall.

No one knew where this former emperor had obtained such terrifying power. Even the military force of the twenty-three great nobles of the Northern Continent united was no more than a grass dam before the flood under his army.

No warrior or spellcaster could withstand a single round in front of Chalar Caesar.

Even Duke Percival, the great grand duke of the Holy Domain Peak, wearing enchanted armor passed down from his family for hundreds of years, and holding a holy sword said to have been blessed by the church, was smashed into flesh by Chalar Caesar with one blow, and his blood splattered in the sky.

The forces of the northern twenty-three great nobles of the Northern Continent, who were entangled in resisting Chalar Caesar, were also completely defeated in one battle.

More than a dozen Holy Domain warriors were killed by Chalar in the battle, and two powerful Holy Domain Archmages were forced to flee the battlefield.

At least tens of thousands of warriors died in this battle, and blood completely dyed the rivers flowing over the earth red, so this battle was called the 'Battle of the Blood River'.

In the northern region of the entire Northern Continent, there was no longer any power capable of resisting Chalar, and the remaining noble forces were completely swept away by Chalar.

So Chalar, carrying his restoration army, re-entered Hobbes, ascended the throne, and called himself Chalar Caesar I, establishing a new empire—the Hobbes Empire, to commemorate his past achievements and setbacks, and to warn himself of his future actions.

Many remnants of the nobles fled the Hobbes Empire and wandered to other continents, and many nobles and the collapsed High Mage Association chose to flee to the Golden Empire.

In the Godforsaken Mountains, Morgues, this multi-armed giant, also began his conquest, gathering many giant species to move towards the throne of the Giant King.

Originally, no one paid attention to what happened in the Godforsaken Mountains.

However, an adult gold dragon, dispatched by the Southern Continent's Good Dragon Alliance as an envoy, went to the Golden Empire to negotiate, demanding that the Golden Empire immediately release the ancestral gold dragon Obiras, otherwise the Southern Good Dragon Alliance would immediately take corresponding measures.

But this adult gold dragon may have stayed in the base camp of the Southern Continent's Good Dragon Alliance for too long, so that it forgot that in the Northern Continent, few people would care about the identity of the gold dragon, especially in the wilderness.

Everything here is more naked than other continents, and the law of survival completely depends on the size of the fist at the moment.

When the adult gold dragon flew over the Godforsaken Mountains, it encountered the giant species and actually wanted to forcibly enslave these giants and make them serve itself.

The battle broke out. Although the gold dragon is the emperor of the metal dragons, the giants have a greater advantage in number. The battle was fierce, and even the high mountains in the Godforsaken Mountains were broken into two pieces by this adult gold dragon and the giants.

This battle attracted the attention of many visions, but the gradual transfer of the battlefield actually angered Morgues, the legendary giant who lived in the Giant Palace in the center of the mountains.

So Morgues stood up from the mountains, and under the soaring blood, he knocked down this adult gold dragon with just one punch.

Since then, the Godforsaken Mountains have returned to the vision of many countries and civilizations, and the events that happened in the Godforsaken Mountains have gradually been detected by many forces, and the name of the multi-armed Giant King Morgues has begun to resound throughout the continent.

And the Golden Empire, which was originally located in a remote terrain and could not be interfered with by the outside world, is now almost in a place of four battles.

To the south of the Golden Empire, across the Godforsaken Mountains, is the Giant Country established by the gradually rising multi-armed giants. To the east, across the sea, is the Orc Empire, which was once an enemy of the Golden Empire and has now offered compensation, but is still sharpening its swords.

And to the north of the Golden Empire, on the endless vast grasslands, traces of the frost giants who rule the frost lands above the extreme northern ice plains have also begun to appear.

But the Golden Empire's military strength is strong, and the soaring mage towers that originally roamed the sky and served as the empire's sky iron wall have gradually increased in production after the first test flight.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Now, basically every six months, a mage tower will rise into the sky and patrol the empire's celestial orbit in all directions, deterring the surrounding forces.

The Golden Empire's legion warriors are also particularly valiant. Many extraordinary races and giants who have been stranded in the Godforsaken Mountains cannot pass through the garrison of the 'Crimson Compassion' battle group—Bay Stream City.

The only way to pass through this city is to become a prisoner and slave of the Golden Empire.

The frost giants in the north also probed the Golden Empire's military force, but were encountered by the 'Crimson Roar', the red dragon Caderos, who was patrolling the territory.

With the assistance of the patrolling legion led by the war lizardman Lei Li, summoned by 'Crimson Roar' Caderos, two thousand powerful warriors, including one hundred frost giants, were beheaded by the Golden Empire's warriors, and only a small number were captured.

And on the sea, the armored behemoths manufactured by the Empire Shipyard have also officially debuted on the world stage. Although this mobile continent is cumbersome, it can carry the Golden Empire's flying dragon battle group and the take-off and landing of giant dragons.

The invincible imperial behemoths are in the offshore waters. Pirates have almost disappeared within hundreds of miles around the Golden Empire's waters, and the Sahua fishmen have also disappeared without a trace.

It was also in the face of such powerful imperial military strength that those nobles and mages fled to the Golden Empire one after another and settled down here.

Although these nobles, in the Golden Empire's system, are like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, but the wealth and power under their command are also a pity to abandon.

The bronze dragon Arina, the head of the Golden Empire, still accepted the nobles' request for asylum with a pinched nose, after all, the empire's policy cannot be arbitrarily changed according to individual preferences.

The Northern Continent is tending towards a stable situation in the midst of wind and rain.

So the monarch of the Orc Empire, the dragon emperor of the Golden Empire, the monarch of the Hobbes Empire, and the Giant King Morgues, and the Frost Giant King of the extreme northern ice plains, are called by the outside world—the Five Kings Rise Together.

Thank you for the votes, thank you for the reward from the ancestor Wang of the ancestral town!
