Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 133: Either the Hunter or the Prey
Charon lay on the trunk of the World Tree. Although the World Tree had been dead for countless years, the remains were still full of traces of the huge life energy that once flowed.

Compared to those mages whose purpose is to explore, Charon is more like an explorer. No matter what it is, he has curiosity and desire to explore all the unknown. This may also be related to the fact that Charon is a dragon and has abundant energy that will never be exhausted.

This is also the reason why Karon has always been able to master magic knowledge and other abilities quickly.

The first element to success is often not wisdom or inspiration, but how much energy you put in.

The green dragon Antajena lay there bored, her small head looking even more beautiful than the red dragon beside her. She kept looking at the exploring mages and the tall imperial guards.

The huge ruins in front of us should be the group of high towers of the mages that fell from the sky. Under some force, the solid towers also fell apart, forming stone ruins with a radius of more than ten miles.

Occasionally, there would be a half-complete wizard tower buried under the rocks, causing the wizards to shout excitedly. The main force in clearing the traces of the ruins was the Imperial Guards.

Because of their loyalty to the red dragon, the mental energy these imperial guards provided was also fed back after the red dragon's mental energy evolved. This magical power can coordinate the warriors' body functions and gradually stimulate their physical potential.

The more loyal and trusting a warrior is to the Red Dragon, the greater the improvement. But no matter what, every one of these imperial guards can easily overturn a three- or four-ton rock with one hand, without any effort.

Moreover, the weapons of each of these imperial guards tend to be the heavy blades of the strange swords that Charon asked the dwarf craftsman Kragon to make.

This powerful cold weapon can perfectly bring out the strengths and abilities of the Imperial Guards. When paired with an airtight heavy armor, it is an elite warrior capable of roaming all the kingdoms in the world.

Only the dragon's followers can have the conditions to build such a legion. There are too many monsters among the dragon's followers, especially their physical fitness is much better than those of human warriors.

Under the influence of the dragon, the new generation of kobold warriors will not be weaker than ordinary human soldiers.

Sometimes, Charon even felt that it was a wrong choice to place these powerful warriors next to the dragon, which was a huge waste.

The green dragon Antajiana and other dragons covet the followers of the Guards, but under the rules and regulations established by the bronze dragon Alina, the Guards only need to obey the orders of one dragon, Charon.

Even those dragonborns who were born under the influence of the dragon group and the giant dragons, as captains of the imperial guards, would not prefer dragons with the same scale color as their own.

Each dragon in the dragon group has the right to recruit followers and establish its own personal guard. However, after seeing the imperial guards, these dragons have become very discerning. Even if you have great power, you still need strict discipline to be noticed by these dragons.

Under the influence of Charon and their own experience, the dragons all respected strength, advocated wisdom, and began to favor order.

The benefits that order can bring are innumerable, but chaos is useless.

Of course, this order is only within the dragon group. For the giant dragons, the order they want is the real order.

Whoosh, whoosh,
From the distant sky came the sound of wings flapping in the wind. The green dragon Antajiana took a look. Even the thick-skinned dragon turned his head away embarrassedly, pretending not to see it.

The green dragon was severely punished by Kalon, which was necessary in Kalon's opinion. Dragons are similar to humans, with weak minds and easily changing thoughts, so they need to be tightened from time to time.

In order to avoid encountering things in the future that Kalon does not want to face, after so many years of getting along and experiencing each other, the dragons have already formed the concept of companions and family, and so is Kalon.

Caron opened his squinting eyes. His red pupils had been gradually moistened by his newfound strength, emitting a strange aura. The light flowing in his pupils seemed to be able to see through other people's hearts and spirits inadvertently.

This was a trait that was manifested because he had not yet mastered the control of his own strength. This test of his mental will had increased his mental strength so much that he could not help but dissipate his strength.

call,
The giant dragons folded their wings and landed on the huge remains of the World Tree. All the giant dragons in the dragon group were present, even the bronze dragon Alina, who was not very fond of killing and invasion, followed the dragon group here.

"Oh, why are you all here? The territory still needs dragons to guard it," Karon stood up lazily and greeted the group of dragons that came in a hurry.

When the dragons saw Kalon jumping around, the anxious expressions on their faces disappeared, and they all lay down lazily. They did not blame the black dragon Rosani for his rash behavior. After all, the black dragon's choice was indeed the best solution at the time.

Only the female red dragon, Klenaya, which had grown to twelve meters long, walked over, forcefully pushed aside the green dragon Antajiana, and then lay down next to Kalon.

The white dragon Gmot glanced at the green dragon Antajiana who turned her head away, and had already obtained his own result. This white dragon is now quite large. He is the third dragon to awaken and revive the bloodline of the previous generation after Kalon and Clenaya.

The occasional traces of battle on its scales showed that this white dragon had experienced no fewer battles than Clenaya.

His eleven-meter-long body was covered with dragon scales that looked like ice and snow crystals. The cold air rising from between the scales made the entire white dragon look like a walking glacier dragon.

"If something happens to you, Karon, will the existence of the territory still need to be protected? I'm afraid the dragon group will immediately fall into division, and no one will be able to unite the dragon group again. Do you think they will truly obey my leader?"

The white dragon Gmot gave a slight warning, he believed that the red dragon should not take risks personally in many cases.

"Klenaya? Or Antajiana? Or Alina?" The white dragon called out the names one by one, but all the dragons whose names were called responded with a big eye roll.

The giant dragons are all unruly creatures. Before the white dragon Gmot has the power to suppress all the giant dragons, even if the white dragon Gmot is a descendant of the Dragon God, these giant dragons will not regard Gmot as their leader.

"We alone are not enough to protect the territory, Karon. Do you think we don't know why those mages cooperate with us? If we lose you, those mages will probably be the first to divide up the fruits of our territory."

The white dragon Gmot had a bit of complaints on his face, and he kept on talking. The white dragon, who had loved to curse since he was a young dragon, finally showed his style. "Damn it, Karon, you said that we are a whole, a family. When we encounter certain dangers, we should not always think of one dragon."

"We are still relatively weak, but we are all working hard. Do you think Clenaya sleeps every day? This female dragon wakes up every day and runs to the grassland to challenge the powerful orc lord."

"Akizi and Doss often go to the sea to fight with the sea-dwelling dragon. Each dragon is gathering around you in its own way. Do you think dragons like to govern their territories? Damn you, Kalon, let the five-colored dragons govern the territory. Why don't you let those dwarves who like to hold hammers do embroidery?"

The white dragon Gmot cursed and swore. If another dragon became the leader of the dragon group, he would definitely not do so. However, all the dragons in the dragon group knew what kind of dragon Charon was. Charon's attitude towards those inside and outside the dragon group was a manifestation of the dragon's double standards.

Only the new members of the dragon group, the copper dragon Alfred and the bronze dragon Alina, were stunned. They were afraid that the white dragon Gmot would be torn to pieces by the furious red dragon in the next moment.

Although in their impression, Charon's attitude and personality are completely different from those of ordinary red dragons, as the leader of the dragon group, most people will blindly maintain their authority.

Unfortunately for Caron, he didn't need to do that. His presence was authority.

He was never afraid of being challenged, and he gave all the dragons in the group the qualifications to challenge him. However, after seeing the blue dragon Akzi being beaten, no dragon would have such an idea again.

Caron stretched his wings lazily and yawned comfortably. He smiled and said, "This time it was a misunderstanding. I was not in danger from the outside world. The danger came from myself."

"Besides, I may encounter many dangers in the future. This is what I can feel after I understand my own heart," Caron said with a smile, "This is not my choice. My choice is to face the difficulties head-on. You don't need to worry about it."

Of course, Kallon knew how important his existence was to the maintenance of the dragon group, but he always had to face some unpredictable dangers, especially after experiencing this glimpse of fate.

For him, developing step by step would only make it easier for him to fall into the shackles of fate. Perhaps this idea is difficult for the dragon group to accept, but if Kalon dies, who would care about the feelings of the dragon group or the existence of the dragon group's territory?

After I die, I won’t care about the flood.

The dragons didn't quite understand what Charon said, but Charon wouldn't explain it to them.

Only the white dragon Kamide still looked thoughtful. Well, Kamide was just like when he was a young dragon, he liked to be thoughtful. Bronze dragon Alina saw that the white dragon Gmot was not angered by Kalon, so she also stepped forward with courage, stretched out her slender neck and asked: "Kalon, if you know the danger, why do you still take the risk to conquer this plane and bring death to these creatures?"

The bronze dragon's natural kindness made her somewhat concerned about the excessive killing of dragons. She was worried that the dragon group would gradually become like the other five-colored dragons and no longer be rational and reasonable.

"If it was before, I would tell you, Alina, I came for the population and other resources of this plane," Kalon was no longer lazy.

He said seriously, "But now, I want to tell you, Alina, there are only two kinds of hunters and prey in the world. You are either the hunter or the prey."

"And I, Kalon Gogmora, am a giant dragon. I was born to be a hunter. My nature also tells me that if I don't become a hunter, I will become the prey!"

Kalon stretched out his broad wings, showing his ferocious fangs and laughing: "Let's go, it's time to reap the last wealth of this world. The dragon among the dragons, every dragon has a share!"

roar,
One after another, the giant dragons stood up, spread their wings, followed the red dragon into the sky, and disappeared into the sky far away from the forest.

However, the dragons could not hear the exclamations of the mages coming from the ruins, "Found it, this is a relatively complete mage tower."

"Oh my god, there's also the body of a giant dragon, an adult green dragon!"

……

Three tall trees of life stand in the forest, seemingly side by side, but due to the overly lush canopies, each tree of life is hundreds of meters apart.

Under the shade of the trees that blocked out the sun, tens of thousands of elves were walking around the camp. Every elf had a lifeless look on their face, and there was no longer the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere of enjoying life as before.

Dozens of ancient war trees have already revived and are surrounding the huge camp at all times, bringing a rare comfort to these worried elves.

The three isolated tribes now banded together. Even though all the other elven tribes tried their best to invite them, they still did not dare to trust easily, so they chose their own camp as the place for the meeting and negotiation.

The figures of elven warriors and elven druids gradually appeared in the lush forest. Behind these powerful warriors and druids were many elven tribal elders wearing crowns made of young buds of the tree of life.

At first they were sparse, but after a while, thousands of elves and even tens of thousands of elven warriors appeared.

When the elves in the tribe saw so many elves, the gloomy expressions on their faces turned into joy. They knew that these elves were warriors who came to support their tribe and were fighters who dared to resist the powerful invaders. There was hope for their tribe!

The elven druids and elven elders high up on the Tree of Life also showed a look of relief. They happily asked the elven druids to open the natural barrier used to conceal the existence of the tribe and welcome the arrival of these reinforcements.

"We are saved, we have hope, and we don't need to be afraid of those invading dragons...dragons?" A happy elf said before the newly opened natural barrier allowed the sounds from the outside world to spread into the entire tribe.

In the far horizon, a group of dragons riding on the strong winds stretched out their wings enough to block out the sun, casting a large shadow that quickly swept across the ground. The strong winds in the forest were roaring, and the wild beasts were silent. Even the vibrant Tree of Life restrained its huge breath of life.

The strong wind brought by the dragons plowed a huge dragon path in the lush forest. Countless thick branches were broken by the strong wind. The next moment, the dragons arrived above the elf tribe that had opened the barrier.

The elven druids and elven elders who were still trying to use spells to activate the Tree of Life to close the barrier, the next moment, the Tree of Life, which was regarded as the guardian god, was shaken down and fell from the sky.

But the dragons had already arrived. The huge dragons spread their wings, covering the sky and the shade of the trees, and surrounded the falling people.

The bronze dragon Alina spit out her breath of lightning, which spread out like a long line, splashing out from between her fangs in her huge mouth.

The green dragon Antajena spat out a strong and smelly venom, like a giant faucet spraying, spewing out with the magic power of the green dragon.

The black dragon Rosani roared loudly. The black dragon who loved killing was particularly excited. His corrosive strong acid condensed into a water column, rushing forward with the black dragon's strong killing aura.

The white dragon Kamide exhaled cold frost. The strong cold air froze the humid air into pieces of ice flowers that condensed in the air.
The icy breath that the white dragon Gmot spits out is more like condensed ice crystals, with strong impact and freezing power, spraying in a fan shape.

The breath of the copper dragon Alfred is cone-shaped, carrying acidic liquid and expanding acidic gas. Although the lethality is not very strong, it is also extremely terrifying and intimidating when it is sprayed hard.
The most terrifying thing is the lightning breath of the two blue dragons and the flames of the female red dragon.

The lightning breath of the two blue dragons brought with it a storm, and the thick thunder was like the might of heaven. The flames of Clenaya emitted a terrifying high temperature, burning the humid air into billowing white mist.

In this brief moment, all the giant dragons that formed a circle in the air breathed out and hit the crowd in the center.

The next moment, an extremely powerful explosion and shock wave spread out from the center. The instantaneous explosion and the blooming light made all the elves who watched this scene blind and deaf.

Boom! The spreading shock wave was like a hurricane roaring on the sea, knocking all the elves to the ground. Some of the weaker elves closer to the center of the explosion had their internal organs shattered. Their bodies were like a tattered cloth bag, and were blown away by the shock wave.

At this moment, all traces of the existence of the elven druids and elven elders in the center of the dragon's breath were wiped out in the real world, leaving only a deep and wide earth pit at the site of the elven tribe.

Even their souls should not have been harmed by the dragon breath of these giant dragons, but with so many dragons gathered together, some terrifying and wonderful changes occurred between the collision of their dragon breath and magic power.

The dragon breath and magic power of these giant dragons repelled, entangled and merged with each other during the explosion and collision, and a mysterious wave was generated at the center of the initial explosion.

Countless mixed elemental magical powers fluctuated and boiled, as if the earth, water, wind and fire were stirred. The space seemed to be broken up and returned to the state before the creation of heaven and earth, a chaos.

In the next second, a singularity emitting a strange but extremely terrifying aura was born in the air. This singularity emitted an unparalleled suction force, swallowing up all the rolling and boiling aura in this space, and then gradually disappeared.

At this time, the elves, whose eyesight and hearing had been restored, came back to their senses from the shock, but were immediately plunged into an even greater shock.

"This is the breath of the outside world, comparable to the power of gods!" The old elf elder Cade muttered to himself. The power of the dragon made those elves who still had some tentative hearts give up.

This kind of terrifying ability can only be created by the combined efforts of a group of dragons. It is an existence that all the forces in this world cannot resist.

All the elves were speechless. They fell to their knees one by one, as if they had seen a miracle, and prayed loudly, praying that the dragon's destruction would not befall this place.

The branches of the three trees of life that decided to abandon darkness and join the light were now shaking like frightened children, and the fallen green leaves were drifting down in the wind.

There was also an unlucky Tree of Life that was only slightly touched by the aftermath, and a large piece of its tough bark was peeled off, and the thick trunk was also licked away, revealing the tender heart of the tree.

Karon was flying high in the sky. He did not take any action. In front of the descending dragons, there was no need for him to take action. He had been paying attention to the behavior of the dragons.

The chain reaction caused by the dragons' concentrated fire attack gave him inspiration, and the chaotic space, which was like the reappearance of the power of earth, water, wind and fire, also made him sigh.

Each of these dragons is far less powerful than him, but their collision has produced such a magical reaction. Perhaps this is the result of touching upon certain rules of the real world.

He waited until the storm subsided, folded his wings, and landed on the crown of the tall Tree of Life. He looked down at all the dragons and elves, and a deep voice sounded in his throat.

"Who is in charge of the ups and downs? I am in charge of the ups and downs!"
