Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 214: The Heroic Spirit Descends
The chief in charge of recruiting in the Degonia region is an exiled knight from another human kingdom. Although he is in charge of the region's recruitment authority, it is almost impossible for him to enter the area of this special legion due to his status and power.

The recruiting officer looked at these selected soldiers. Although each of them had strong strength, they were still training tirelessly under commands and instructions.

He couldn't help but admire: "Almost every lord in the world wants his warriors to obey his orders, but they will simply use rewards and punishments to achieve their goals."

"But they didn't know that soldiers could gradually get used to obeying the orders of their superior commanders by doing trivial and simple things that were boring. Even those knights who followed the chivalric code as their dogma and had good morals were not as disciplined as the legionnaires of the empire."

"It's a pity that the knights nowadays have become the dirty gloves and running dogs of those noble lords." The recruiting officer showed a sad look on his face.

At this time, Charon is walking in the mortal world with the appearance of a dragon, so his facial expressions appear to be richer than when he is in his true form.

He knew the knights in the human kingdom. Knights were the starting point of the aristocracy and represented a noble starting point.

They are a special class of power that is as noble as spellcasters in many human kingdoms. They require bravery, mercy, humility, justice and other good virtues as the code and doctrine of knights.

But Caron knew that even in the best of times, there were not many people who could follow these chivalrous codes. Most of them were just beautiful people on the outside, but secretly they were a dark class that was dirty and capable of doing anything.

Being able to maintain neutrality is already a sign of outstanding talent.

He smiled, looked at his recruiting officer, and said calmly: "Although the Empire also values good character, it will not use good character as a banner."

"For a country, strength is the foundation, and those beautiful reputations are just accessories that come with it."

The recruiting officer was slightly stunned, then nodded thoughtfully, "Your Majesty is right. Perhaps only your Majesty's wisdom would know that formulating these subtle rules to train and restrain the soldiers can make the legion more powerful."

The group passed through the huge recruit training ground and numerous strict guard posts before arriving at the real "Burning Hoof" military camp.

This solemn military camp looks more like a large manor located in the suburbs. The magnificent gate is large enough to accommodate sixteen carriages passing through in parallel. Near the walls of the military camp, teams of soldiers holding swords and wearing armor are patrolling back and forth.

There are tall battlements and watchtowers at every corner of the wall, and on them are not soldiers holding bows and swords, but huge armor-piercing crossbows.

These battlements and watchtowers were interconnected, forming an impenetrable network that covered the sky above the military camp. Even a flying bird or a reptile could not escape the capture of this dense net.

The warriors, wearing neat sets of armor, covered their faces with cold visors and held the hilts of their swords with steel-woven gauntlets.

Only when they saw Charon coming, these stern warriors put down their swords and paid their loyal tribute to the emperor who rarely appeared.

But now, the people who follow Charon, except the Mist Dragon De Nile and the two imperial guards who always protect the Dragon Emperor, and even the chief of recruitment of Degonia, are not qualified to enter this military camp.

Karon stepped into the heavily guarded military camp and walked along the broad stone steps. The Burning Hoof Legion was also divided into several sub-legions.

Among them, the "Blood Scale Fury Regiment", a name originally used to refer to those special dragons, was awarded to those warriors in the "Burning Hoof" Legion who were responsible for the glory of various dragon blood.

There is also the "Demon Hunter" regiment. The warriors of this regiment all bear some unique or powerful demonic blood. These warriors do not take it as an honor to bear the blood of demons, but take it as an honor to defeat the blood of demons.

Only warriors who successfully defeated the demon's blood would be accepted into the 'Demon Hunter' regiment. These warriors, who were loyal to the emperor of the empire with their unique strength, applied for the title of this regiment in order to prevent other legions from misunderstanding their strength.

Similarly, one of the garrisons of this military camp belongs to the warriors who possess the devil's sinful blood. The title of these warriors' regiment is much simpler - 'Dragon Devil Regiment', which means that even the devil needs to be loyal to the dragon.

There is also a special military camp, which is a mixed regiment born from the ancient blood of other experiments. Because the source of their bloodline is unstable or scarce, it is not enough to form a separate regiment, so they are all mixed together.

This regiment is the 'Thousand Sons' of the Dragon Empire, which means the millions of sons of the dragon.

However, Charon did not rush into the military camps of other regiments, but came to the military camp and saw the first magnificent building on the far right.

Hugeness is the first characteristic of this building. Judging from its appearance alone, this building is equivalent to the main area of any luxurious manor.

When he reached the corridor of the building, the Mist Dragon De Nile could not help but look up. This corridor, which was only one floor high, was a hundred meters high. Even a real dragon would be able to run rampant in this place.

"How much do I still not know?" Mist Dragon De Niro sighed, "The more I learn about the empire created by the dragons, the more fascinated I am by this place. I regret that I cannot witness the birth of civilization at the very beginning."

"But now you can see the civilization grow with your own eyes and take part in it," Karon turned his head and smiled gently at the mist dragon.

The humanoid form of the fog dragon Deniro is not a transformation, but is similar to another special magic talent. Therefore, the humanoid form of this fog dragon is always somewhat different from that of normal people. Because this fog dragon rarely appears in the settlements of humanoid civilizations, the spell imitation is not proficient enough.

At this time, the Mist Dragon Deniro looked more like a dragon-man without wings, whose claws looked like human fingers. His eyes were also vertical pupils that were obviously those of a dragon, not like those of a human.

De Niro nodded. "It is my honor to be involved in a great cause. I think that even if our empire and the civilization created by dragons disappear in the long river of time, perhaps our names will be recorded in the books of those historians."

"Haha," Cuarón stepped forward, nodded in response to some soldiers and spellcasters who hurried by, then turned his head and smiled at Mist Dragon De Niro: "So, this is what you're pursuing, De Niro."

"Yes, a dragon's long life cannot be wasted in deep sleep. It must find some goals to pass the long years. I am not interested in other dragons' hobbies of collecting treasures. That is too boring and too much like a pure hunting beast."

Mist Dragon De Niro paused for a moment, glanced at the red dragon whose eyes had turned strange, and then quickly added: "Of course, this does not mean that I am not interested in treasure, but that is not my only and highest need. Treasure still makes me excited."

Caron laughed in silence, then shook his head. It was not that he wanted this fog dragon to serve the dragon group for nothing, that was not realistic. He just did not expect that dragons, creatures that are naturally bored with repetition and a large number of tasks, seemed to enjoy it so much as the fog dragon De Niro.

The Red Dragon has been observing the performance of the Mist Dragon DeNiro during this period. He found that the Mist Dragon really likes to participate in these things, unlike the Blue Dragon Doss, who works solely because of the responsibilities that must be assumed by members of the dragon group.

"Don't worry, you have joined the dragon group, you are one of them, and you also enjoy the rights of the 'Dragon Covenant'," said Caron.

The guards in the military camp are not as strict as those outside, but those who come and go in the military camp are all elite warriors and spellcasters, so there is no need for too many guards.

Karon stopped in front of a door. The door was only half-closed. There were no soldiers guarding it. There were only two tall stone statues, lifelike, standing on both sides of the gate, like warriors holding swords, guarding the passage.

The sign hanging on the eaves of the gate reads "Ordnance - Golem Logistics Regiment" in large English.

This was one of the reasons why Kalon came here. The Burning Hoof Legion was the personal guard legion directly under Kalon, the emperor of the empire. Apart from the imperial guards, this legion was the strongest legion in the empire and the sharp blade of the emperor.

But not only these elite warriors, this legion is also equipped with some powerful magic construct equipment, such as one of the most beloved magic constructs of mages - the golem.

The two imperial guards used their own tokens to accept the scans of the golems standing on both sides of the gate, and the half-closed gate slowly opened automatically.

But there was already a scholar wizard waiting quietly behind the door.

Seeing the red dragon coming, the scholar-mage hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Majesty!"

"Mobius, why are you here?" The ancestral red dragon frowned slightly.

Karon knew that the scholar-mage in front of him, Mobis, was ranked 99th in the list submitted for the Knowledge Kings Project. His own strength was not outstanding, but he had made some achievements in the research of golem construction.

This guy is also one of the leaders of the golem research department that Karon established after he passed on the magic construction knowledge left over from the ancient magic empire.

According to custom, this scholar mage should be in the research department at this time, not here.

Although the ancestral red dragon has the vanity of all living creatures and likes to be flattered by his subordinates, he does not like to be flattered deliberately. In Kallon's view, making achievements is more effective than deliberately flattering him.

"Your Majesty, the research department has achieved some results recently, so I came here to lead this experiment. I didn't expect to meet your Majesty's glorious visit."

Scholar mage Moebius said calmly.

"Have there been some breakthrough results? Very good, take me to see," the ancestral red dragon's brows suddenly smoothed out, and he followed the other party forward.

"It seems that this guy is here to ask for credit," the ancestral red dragon understood the other party's thoughts, but this did not make Karon dislike the scholar wizard.

This is a good thing in his opinion. If you have made achievements, you need to show them, take credit, and reward them. If others give to him, he will give to others. This is the principle that Caron adheres to, an alternative equal exchange.

This is the most solid relationship in the world.

"Your Majesty, please look, this is the method that our research department has been researching and improving day and night," the scholar wizard Mobis bowed slightly and stretched out his right hand.

Karon had already seen that, surrounded by several spellcasters, a three-meter-tall stone golem stood in the courtyard, and the spellcasters were carving the last magic circle on the golem.

This giant stone golem looks very crude and is completely incomparable to the golem that Charon himself created with his innate authority over earth and metal.

In Caron's hands, he can easily complete various shaping of the low-level golems he wants to create, just by slightly consuming some of his magic power.

But in Caron's opinion, relying on himself alone, even if he spent all his time on building the golem, would not be worth the effort. What cannot be mass-produced is not advanced enough after all.

Only some extremely powerful and special golems can make Charon waste his precious time.

Therefore, Charon taught the knowledge left by the ancient magic empire to the scholars and wizards in the research department, asking them to train spellcasters and alchemists specializing in golem making.

On the other hand, and most importantly, although the energy driving force of the golem has a magic core, it still needs a large amount of elemental essence or soul to truly drive the golem army.

But the current empire does not have the ability to enter the secondary elemental plane and capture elemental essences and souls in large numbers.

This is another problem that the Academic Research Department needs to solve for Caron.

But it seems that this issue has found a breakthrough thanks to the hard work of scholars.

After the spellcasters surrounding the golem carved the final magic circle, they dispersed one after another. The scholar wizard Moebius walked forward and stood in front of the tall stone golem.

The tall stone golem is somewhat different from the golems that Charon himself had sculpted.

The golems created by these scholars and wizards have living eyes carved from crystal that look like real human eyes.

The golem's body is covered with magical patterns carved and melted with mercury, connecting the golem's core and eyes.

Mobius stood in front of the golem, staring into its eyes, leaned his staff on the ground, and then chanted a special spell loudly.

"Pure silver and stone, a contract with the cornerstone,"

"The sighing wind is blocked by a strong wall, and the gates are firmly built on all sides."

"Release in the temple, descend on the road to the empire,"

"Called here,"

"Your body is under the Emperor's command, and our fate rests on the Sword of the Heroic Spirit."

"If you are willing to follow the call of the heroic spirit, obey this intention, and comply with this principle, then you will respond to the call!"

The power of the spell spread like a whistling wind far away and reached the dragon temple.

The next moment, a soul entered its body, and the golem's eyes burst into dazzling light.

Then the golem turned around, knelt on one knee towards Charon who was standing behind it, and made a deafening sound.

"Your Majesty, my Lord, your loyal warriors are here at the call!"
