Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 233 The Dragon of Eternal Punishment
"Be on guard, there is movement on the other side, it could be a new wave of elemental creatures preparing to attack."

The captain of the city defense auxiliary army raised his right hand and shouted an order: "Spellcasters, get ready, spirit-catching nets in place, archers, get ready, assist in the volley!"

tread,
The legionnaires in full armor stepped forward together, pointing their spears at the opened and fixed low-dimensional plane passage, blocking several spellcasters who were preparing behind them.

The archer pulled the bow, and the crossbow arrow was already in the triggered state. The arrow tips of the bow and crossbow were outlined with runes of magical effects that could break the elements. It was a powerful weapon for dealing with group attacks from low-level elemental creatures.

The white dragon Kamide's slender body climbed on the huge steel pipe, with its white wings hanging down.

The two heads were curiously supported by their long necks and passed over the heads of the warriors, looking towards the low-level elemental plane passage in front of them. Cold frosty breath had already begun to brew in their mouths.

This is a passage that looks like a circular arch. It is a permanent portal built and fixed by high-level spellcasters of the empire. It connects to a naturally formed small fire elemental plane attached to the main plane of the Ekania world.

From here we can see that on the opposite side of the Fire Elemental Plane, flames do not always cover every piece of land. The scorched brown land and rocky minerals are the theme song of this small secondary plane.

The low hills and gullies were full of traces of the raging fire, but now even the flames on the outskirts of this plane had begun to die out. Only the depths of the plane, which even the white dragon Kamide could not see, were still filled with abundant and constantly overflowing fire elemental energy.

During the empire's exploration, the energy of this small dimension is almost exhausted over the long years. It does not have much development value, and the input and output are not proportional.

Therefore, it was also chosen by the Empire to use this small plane as the Empire's landfill and wastewater discharge site.

There was a noisy sound coming from the back of the low hill. Although the four vertical pupils of the two heads of the white dragon Kamide were staring at the plane channel motionlessly, his mind was always wandering.

"It's a pity that the Heart of the Plane was born in this plane. There is no way to mine it. Otherwise, with this treasure, I might be able to get more wealth this year."

The white dragon Kamide's eyes remained motionless. This white dragon had a special status among the dragon group.

The other dragons, under the coercion and inducement of the ancestral red dragons, had already abandoned their habits, tied themselves to the chariot of the Golden Empire, and pushed the wheels of the chariot forward.

Only the white dragon Kamide is still being allowed to grow naturally under the care of his ancestor, the red dragon.

Even the task of supervising and maintaining the empire's development of lower-dimensional planes was only undertaken by the White Dragon Kamide on his own initiative.

The tentacles of the Golden Empire have been continuously extending under the common will of the empire's rulers and supporters.

The large amount of magical elemental mixture that the ancestral red dragon Kalon Gogmora and the dragon lords drink every day is the result of the empire's almost predatory exploitation of those explorable small planes.

The Imperial Golem Corps also needs to produce ordinary golems, which also requires a large amount of elemental essence, which makes the Imperial military quite supportive of this project.

The messy footsteps coming from the back of the hill became more and more rapid, interrupting the beautiful reverie of the white dragon Kamide. He opened his mouth slightly, revealing fangs as white as ice bones, and his cold breath was ready to erupt at any time.

But what ran out from the back of the hill was a group of humanoid creatures in ragged clothes, with messy and fluffy hair and dry lips, who looked like slaves. Among them, people of different hair colors were the most numerous, and some of them were not even born in the world of Ekania.

But the surrounding soldiers relaxed a little at this time. The centurion curled his lips and said, "Why are these idiots here again? I thought it was an elemental creature that was about to rush out and make some contributions."

The centurion disappointedly ordered his guards to step forward and arrest these humanoid creatures one by one.

The white dragon Kamide also smacked his lips and swallowed the cold breath back into his stomach.

Almost all of these unfortunate fools were driven by greed in their hearts, and then deceived by the devil, signed contracts, and tricked into these low-level fire elemental planes to pan for gold.

Most of the elemental life forms that can be born in these low-level fire element planes are of ordinary strength. As long as they are careful, they will not pose a life-threatening threat to these gold diggers.

The tattered clothes on these gold diggers are actually a kind of fire-resistant cloth that can protect against damage from fire. Wearing clothes made of fire-resistant cloth is enough for these gold diggers to carry out their daily activities in the fire elemental plane.

However, the devil is not such a kind guy. The Fire Elemental Plane is indeed rich in various minerals and gold. Even the weakest adventurer can earn unexpected gold in a short period of time.

But in the plane of fire element, gold is not the most expensive, nor are minerals the most expensive. The drinkable water provided by the devil is the most precious thing in this world.

So the final outcome for these gold diggers is that they owe so much money that they become lifelong slaves of the devil.

These foolish and greedy slaves always want to escape from the devil's control. These warriors and the white dragon Kamide are no strangers to this situation.

But even though these slaves escaped the devil's direct control, their fate would not be much better.

Slaves who have signed a contract with the devil are of no value in the eyes of the empire, and the imperial high-ranking officials will not waste resources and energy to help these slaves terminate their contracts with the devil.

These slaves will not be truly accepted by the empire, and the final result is that they will go from being slaves of the devil to slaves of the dragon, dedicating their labor on the land of the empire.

Some spellcasters even came up with the idea of initiating a deal with the slaves' masters - the devils, allowing those devils to use their resources and treasures to exchange for a large number of slaves in the hands of the empire.

However, due to the fact that the coordinates of the material plane where the Golden Empire is located have been marked as a trustless and dangerous place by many demons in recent times, this work has not been able to contact the demons as expected.

"Forget it, let's do it the old way. Take off the clothes of these slaves, take away the gold and treasures they have collected, and then send them to the slave camp."

The white dragon Kamide hung his head in boredom, turned around and walked towards the next stronghold, muttering, "The power of these demons has actually extended to the secondary elemental plane outside the world of Ekania. Perhaps I should advise Kalon to be more careful."

But in the distant city, a distant and stirring bell sound suddenly rang out, and the sound waves surged and reached the outskirts of the city, causing the vertical pupils of the white dragon Kamide to instantly emit two rays of light.

Boom, boom, boom,
Different from the usual rhythm of bells, the urgent and exciting bells are a warning and also the horn of dragons.

Whoosh! A strong wind suddenly blew up from the flat ground. The white dragon Kamide spread his wings and flew straight to the center of the city.

...The green dragon Ellie landed on the top of Gulfstream City with the child in her mouth and gently put the child down. The bells of Gulfstream City rang at this time. The melodious and stirring bells echoed over the entire city as the blue dragon Carlit struck the bells.

This was the sound of a bell that could only be rung by a dragon. It wasn't that Carlit was being too radical, but the forest in the distance was being destroyed at a very fast speed. Huge trees were being knocked down one after another, and the dense forest was collapsed by the huge creatures to form a road opening up forward.

As the bells rang, many soldiers from the Gulfstream City garrison began to climb the city walls and lined up their weapons. The huge armor-piercing crossbows began to stir the noose, and the crescent-shaped crossbow arrows, as thick as an adult's arm, began to accumulate enough power to penetrate the steel plate as the noose sank.

The elven archers and gunners have also taken their positions, and a solemn atmosphere hangs over the city of Gulfstream.

A huge noise came from the forest in the distance, and it was getting closer and closer, accompanied by a series of rapid and huge footsteps, just like a group of giants trampling the ground while running wildly.

The blue dragon Carlit flapped its wings and landed, stopping beside the serious-looking green dragon Ellie. However, the two dragons had already ignored the tide of beasts running in all directions, even though some of the beasts crashed directly into the city walls built of solid stones in their haste.

Its brain was smashed and then its body was trampled by the beasts behind it, becoming a pile of tattered corpses.

"That's a group of storm giants," the blue dragon Carlit raised her head and looked into the distance, her voice full of solemnity.

"The problem is," the green dragon Ellie's cheek twitched and her somewhat dry voice sounded, "these storm giants are also fleeing for their lives. What kind of terrifying existence is chasing them?"

The dense forest had been destroyed, revealing large gaps. The dragons and warriors standing on the city wall could see the figures of the fleeing storm giants emerging from the thin forest.

There are about ten storm giants in total, but their heights are quite terrifying. The height of the storm giant at the back is almost as tall as the walls of Gulfstream City.

Although the walls of Gulfstream City were only built to a height of 16 meters in the beginning to defend against the attacks of wild beasts and monster races due to the lack of sufficient manpower, the walls made of huge stones are enough to cope with most situations and the impact of war.

However, facing the storm giants whose average standing height reaches more than ten meters, the city walls that used to look quite solid and brought a sense of security to the residents of the city now seem a bit fragile.

It was as if those giants could easily destroy the entire section of the city wall by simply swinging their weapons.

hiss,
The blue dragon Carlit's fangs were leaking. She rested her forelimbs on the city wall and said seriously, "Even so, we can't just abandon the city and run away. I have already rung the bell. We just need to hold on and wait for the dragons to come to our aid."

"I won't abandon you and the city and run away alone," the green dragon Ellie's mouth twitched, and she nodded her head slightly into the distance, hissing, "But it looks like it may be difficult for us to hold on. Maybe the dragons will react a little slower and come here to help us two dragons collect the bodies."

The size of those storm giants was enough to attract the attention of the two dragons, but the hunters who were chasing after these storm giants made the two female dragons feel an irresistible pressure.

Even when facing the adult silver dragon Chrissy Tiana, the two dragons dared to show their fangs and claws. When facing the Cyclops who seemed to be almost twenty meters tall, the pressure doubled.

A dragon's strength is closely related to its age and size, and the same is true for these giant species.

But the size of a dragon includes its tail. A twenty-meter dragon and a twenty-meter giant are not the same concept and level.

Even though the Cyclops is only a lower species among giants, he can grow to a height of nearly twenty meters. He must have lived for hundreds of years and grown to his peak height.

And the two female dragons are not even adult dragons.

Moreover, the Cyclops who was chasing the Storm Giant with his giant hammer was not alone. A huge shadowy figure appeared in the forest trampled by the giants.

They were also huge giants, including stone giants whose bodies were wrapped in rocks, who followed the Cyclops Lord at slow steps.

There are also mountain giants who are famous for their strength that can lift hills. These mountain giants are not numerous, but their bodies are different from those of the mutant hill giants. They are extremely huge and strong. Standing next to the Cyclops Lord, they look even more powerful than this Cyclops Lord.

There are also wood giants whose personalities are not quite consistent with their own race. These giants have the same bad temper as fire giants, and have layers of patterns on their bodies that look like the growth rings of ancient trees, which look like tattoos on their tough skin.

There are also groups of giant species and subspecies of giants, as well as ancient ogre species. These ancient ogres are regarded as subspecies of giant bloodline and respect the same ancestral blood as the giants.

According to legend, the bloodline of all true giants comes from the father of giants - Annan, the powerful god of giants.

In the genealogy of giants, Titan is just a high-level creation among the giants, and is also one of the true giants. Annan, the father of giants, is the source of all Titans and giants in the world.

The descendants of Annan, the father of giants, are the gods who created the Titans and giants in the world. The ruler who was born among the storm giants, Thunderlord, was also created by the afterglow of the power of Annan, the father of giants.

The two female dragons naturally had a lot of knowledge about their former enemies in their heritage. As they watched the storm giants being chased by the Cyclops Lord running towards the city, the warriors on the city wall focused their attention to the utmost.

The blue dragon Carlit took a deep breath and roared proudly: "Legion, prepare, all units, take positions!"

"Stop, dragon, maybe we are friends,"

A huge sound, like thunder, came from the mouth of the storm giant.

The Storm Giant Garcia, who was fleeing in panic, shouted, "I am Garcia, the young master of the Storm Giant Tribe. I have come to the country ruled by dragons to seek the protection of His Excellency Caron Gogmora, a friend of the Storm Giants!"

The blue dragon Carlit stopped her orders, exchanged glances with the green dragon Ellie, and then shouted in a deep voice: "Then stop your steps, stand two hundred meters away, and wait where you are!"

"But," Garcia shouted hurriedly, "the Cyclops behind us are catching up!"

"I said, wait here!"

The blue dragon Carlit had a cold expression as she stood on the city wall, spread her wings, and shouted loudly: "All warriors, change your target, prepare your bows and crossbows, prepare your spellcasters, aim at the rear!"
