Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 201 If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight

"I once said that we are not afraid of war, we control war. Others can choose when the war starts, but we have the final say when it ends!"

"So, these things need to be discussed and a result must be reached. They invaded our territory and offended the dragons, but they have not been punished yet. They have just paid some price."

As the Red Dragon finished speaking, the entire royal hall fell silent, with only the heavy breathing of the dragons being heard.

The blood of the evil dragon is always sensitive enough to war and destruction.

The young red dragon Caedilos raised his slender neck and muttered, "You are our leader, what else do you want to discuss? Just tell me, if you want to kill the orcs, I, Caedilos, will definitely kill them, no matter what method I use!"

"Even though I am the leader of the dragon group and the monarch of the empire, every dragon in the dragon group is a part of the dragon group. A united dragon group is better than a single dragon, and the will and wisdom of the group are better than lonely thinking."

Kallon said: "I will not ignore your will and wisdom, because that would be a foolish act, so I let all the dragons participate in the discussion in this public occasion."

The young red dragon Caedilos retracted his head in disappointment, feeling as if the two words "stupid" from the ancestor red dragon's mouth were imprinted on his forehead.

"There are only two options for dealing with orcs. One is war, and the other is to temporarily shelve it and deal with it later," Blue Dragon Akzi took the initiative to speak.

"But the shipyard in the dragon group is not large. Due to the previous decision, the shipyard has been developing steel battleships driven by magic steam hybrid engines, but it has not achieved good results so far."

"If we convert it into an ordinary merchant ship, it will not only take up a huge amount of materials and time, but it will also be difficult to achieve any useful offensive effect."

As the commander-in-chief of the army that controls the territory, Blue Dragon Akzi has a clear understanding of these things.

"If we launch a war by force, the loyal warriors in the territory may suffer great losses, which is undoubtedly not worth the loss."

"So your suggestion is to put it on hold for now? Akizi, have you lost your courage in these years of war?"

The female red dragon Clenaya refuted the words of the blue dragon Akzi bluntly. Even though the blue dragon Akzi now controlled the power of the legion, in the eyes of these dragon lords, they were all on an equal footing.

The power of the mortal world cannot influence the lords among the dragons, because every dragon lord has the power to interfere with the mortal world.

"No, what I mean is that instead of mobilizing the followers' legions on a large scale, it is better to play to the strengths of the dragons," the blue dragon Akzi shook his huge head and patiently explained to the somewhat irritable red dragon Clenaya.

"We are dragons, flexible enough to go wherever we want and leave whenever we want."

When the blue dragon Akzi mentioned the war, he became a little excited. He said, "We just need to attack freely in the territory of the Orc Kingdom like the Centaur Legions. We don't need to confront the entire Orc Kingdom head-on."

"No matter how many armies the Orc Kingdom has, can they surround every city and every village like an iron wall?"

"As long as they don't give in, we will destroy a city. As long as they don't surrender, we will destroy several villages and towns. No matter how big the orc kingdom is, how long can they hold out?"

The blue dragon Akzi had experienced the baptism of war and his grasp of war had obviously improved a lot. His pair of vertical pupils were shining with cold electric light.

"We can destroy their food production areas and weapon workshops at will, destroy the support of ordinary orc warriors for the orc nobles, and destroy the foundation of the orc kingdom. We are evil dragons, and we are not here to conquer, but to destroy, to vent our fire of punishment!"

Karon swept his eyes across the group of dragons, and saw giant dragons with different scale colors baring their teeth and sharpening their claws, with boiling arrogance, obviously moved by the blue dragon's words. Even Alfred, a metal dragon, looked eager to try.

The foreign dragon Naxon, a relatively neutral foreign dragon, also showed an expression of approval. In the eyes of the foreign dragon Naxon, the orc kingdom invaded his country and deserved such a lesson.

Even the three metal dragons outside the door had no idea of seeking justice at this moment. Invading the dragon's territory was an unforgivable offense to the dragon. They also didn't want to waste time pitying the orcs who were about to die under the dragon's wrath, because they still needed to pity themselves.

However, there is one dragon among the dragon group who remains calm, restrained and thoughtful. That is the bronze dragon Alina. Apparently, this bronze dragon has a different opinion on this.

Kalon's gaze brought Bronze Dragon Alina out of her thoughts. The bronze dragon waited until the dragons calmed down before speaking: "I agree with Akzi's point of view, but we can actually do more."

Karon nodded and motioned for the bronze dragon to continue.

"Since we have established a formal empire and become an orthodox civilization, we can also use formal means at the appropriate time to make our goals more justifiable."

A sneer appeared on the beautiful face of Bronze Dragon Alina. "We can issue a declaration to the Orc Kingdom in the name of the Empire, demanding that the Orc Kingdom apologize for the war of aggression it launched, and demand compensation for all losses in our territory."

"Not only the direct losses caused by the war, but also the profits earned from the territory due to the delay in the war for several years should also be included. This will be an extremely huge amount of compensation."

Hearing what the bronze dragon Alina said, the greed of the dragons flowed out of their eyes, emitting a shining light in the hall.

"If the Orc Kingdom accepts this compensation, we can gain a considerable amount of wealth to develop our territory. When we have enough power in the future, we can reconquer the Orc Kingdom."

Whether it was a five-colored dragon or a metallic dragon, these dragons might be huge in size, but their hearts were never small. Every dragon was a creature that held grudges especially hard, and their extremely long lifespan and abundant energy made it almost impossible for a dragon to forget a grudge once it held one.

Even after receiving compensation from the Orc Kingdom, these dragons still had no intention of letting the Orc Empire go, even the bronze dragon Alina.

"If the orc kingdom cannot pay this huge amount, or refuses to pay compensation, then we will have a legitimate reason to go to war with them at will. Even the meddling Good Dragon Alliance in the south cannot stop us from taking revenge."

The bronze dragon Alina's sneer turned into a smile, "That's when the dragons will destroy and plunder."

"Very good, everyone, if you have any other opinions, please vote directly."

Kalon looked around at the dragons, giving each dragon a sense of participation and honor. "I agree," the white dragon Kamide lazily lay on the black stone throne, with his long tail raised behind him, shaking like a raised hand.

"I agree with Alina,"

"I agree!"

One after another, the giant dragons raised their claws or curled their tails to express their agreement.

The three giant metal dragons hiding at the door looked at each other and gained a deeper understanding of this strange group of dragons.

In the inheritance of these metal dragons, even the families of metal dragons are decided by the patriarch, but they are not as strict as the colorful dragons in treating their own people.

But in the Gogmora dragon group, every member plays a very important role, can speak freely, and truly participate in decision-making. This will undoubtedly make these dragons feel more identified with the entire dragon group, more united, and have closer relationships.

"Very good, since you all agree with this opinion, I will respect your will," Caron nodded, "What do you think about the fishmen?"

"We will deal with these inferior murlocs according to the 'Kill and Extermination Order' issued by the territory before," said Blue Dragon Doss. "But we can also take advantage of our spare time to destroy these murloc tribes one by one. However, we have not yet grasped the location of the murloc tribes, so we need to issue a reward and continue the investigation."

"We can announce to the entire North that a reward is offered for the heads of these murlocs," the ocean dragon Naxon raised his claws, "I know a giant dragon who likes to be active in the clouds on the sea, the mist dragon Deniro."

"He is acquainted with a Naga tribe in the deep sea. Those Nagas are also enemies of the murlocs. Perhaps we can contact those Naga tribes through the Mist Dragon Deniro and get information about the murloc tribe. The sea is too big. Even giant dragons cannot match the power of these deep sea races."

"I can go out to sea every day and patrol the sea area for news about those stinky fish. The white dragon is not weaker than those sea dragons in the water."

The young white dragon Sloka took the initiative to step forward. Gradually, he felt a sense of participation in these events and he was eager to make some achievements.

The teenage white dragon Roni also raised the tip of her tail and signed up to participate in this activity that entertains the dragons physically and mentally. Although these white dragons are weaker, they are good enough hunters.

"Very good, let's do it," Caron pretended to ponder for two seconds before speaking affirmatively.

After throwing out two things that would not have caused much deviation no matter how they were handled, and after making the dragons decide to participate, the red dragon threw out the final event, something that no one could change his will.

Although he could subdue the entire group of dragons with his most powerful force, he didn't mind taking a few more steps if using some small tricks could make the dragons more united.

"Finally, there are two laws that need to be promulgated at the beginning of the establishment of the empire. Naxon, as the chief law enforcement officer of the territory, you need to implement these two laws next."

The foreign dragon Naxxon is perched on the Black Stone Throne. This foreign dragon did not become the lord by his own strength, but became the lord who ascended the Black Stone Throne with his own merits.

He lowered his head, then raised it again and listened carefully to the red dragon's words.

"The first is that the Slave Promotion Decree is officially promulgated throughout the empire. Regardless of the reason, whether they are prisoners of war, serfs who have sold themselves, or natural slaves born of slaves, they can all obtain free promotion through the labor of their own hands. The specific promotion standards need to be carefully considered by you."

Although there have been such precedents in the dragon territory in the past, it has not yet been written into the official laws of the dragon group. This is undoubtedly a huge change.

Fortunately, the dragons have already had precedents for this and don't take it seriously. Today's dragons don't need such a simple and crude way to gain benefits, and they completely despise this inefficient behavior.

Although some small slave owners have begun to emerge in the entire dragon territory, they are unable to make any discordant voices in the country under the absolute control of the dragons.

The entire territory was built up bit by bit by the dragons from scratch. They don't even need to implement absolute violence. Some small voices of opposition will be drowned out by the masses.

This is also Caron's advance preparation for the upcoming expansion and conquest. The conquest is for better rule and maximum benefit, rather than simple war and destruction.

The silver dragon Chris, and the two bronze dragons, Gross and Natarelli, were shocked by the magnanimity of this group of dragons. In their opinion, once such a decree was promulgated, there might not be anyone who dared to oppose it within the dragon group's territory, but it would be met with fierce reactions from other nobles and conservative forces.

Kalon looked at the dragons who had no reaction and said loudly: "The second one is also the most important one."

The dragons, who originally didn't care, sat up straighter in an instant. The red dragon's tone showed that he was taking it more seriously.

"The Golden Empire, the empire created by dragons, the civilization we built together, will temporarily announce to the entire North that all dragons, no matter what color their scales are, can seek refuge in the Golden Empire, as long as they abide by the laws of the empire and follow the will of the royal court."

The red dragon's eyes became particularly captivating at this moment. His dark golden vertical pupils quietly lit up with a stern and majestic light. His voice resounded throughout the entire palace, making every dragon's arrogance boil and unable to restrain themselves.

"The Empire will declare to the entire North that no race, no force, no individual is allowed to enslave dragons, no one is allowed to harm dragons, and no one is allowed to kill dragons."

Karon's fangs flashed with cold light, and his tone was even colder than his fangs. "Even if you are a dragon, you cannot harm, enslave, or kill other dragons without the permission of the empire. All these powers belong to the empire!"

The eyes of the young red dragon Caedilos lit up, the eyes of the female red dragon Clenaya lit up, and the eyes of the bronze dragon Alina also lit up. The eyes of each giant dragon, like golden lamps, lit up at the same time.

An unparalleled aura enveloped the entire royal palace. No dragon cared about the consequences of this decree, not even a calm bronze dragon like Alina.

Even the bronze dragons Gross, Natarelli, and the silver dragon Chris, who were chained like slaves, had their blood boiling at the words of the ancestor red dragon, radiating their majesty uncontrollably.

"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight," Caron sat on the throne and smiled faintly, "I wonder how the Southern Good Dragon Alliance will compare to my Dragon Empire!"
