Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 270 Budgeting carefully
"This is no ordinary demon lord,"

There was a gleam of conspiracy in the narrow pupils of the green dragon Antajiana. Green dragons are naturally fond of conspiracy theories, which is her area of expertise.

"The tone he used to promise and recruit Kalon during the battle was not like what an ordinary demon lord would show. Perhaps his true identity is the ruler of some ancient and powerful abyssal plane."

The female red dragon Clenaya blew out two sparks from her nose and said hoarsely, "So what if his true identity is the powerful ruler of the Abyss Plane? The winner is the king, and the loser should just lie on the ground obediently."

The female dragon raised her claws and stomped on the legendary demon's bones, making a clanging sound.

"The strong prey on the weak, and the winner survives. This is the law of survival for all things, not just us colorful dragons," the white dragon Gemot stood proudly.

In this greatest battle between dragons and demons, the power and strength shown by the ancestral red dragon gave the white dragon Gmot full of confidence.

As long as the dragon does not have the idea of challenging the status and power of the ancestral red dragon, it will be proud of it.

Of course, in the eyes of these dragons, the best way to show their pride is to expand the empire's territory and increase their own wealth.

"Then let him continue to come," said Blue Dragon Lord Akzi, showing off his minions. "I heard that in the star realm, there are also wars between dragons and demons, dragons and devils, and dragons and other civilizations for world hegemony."

"The Dragon's Nest and the Golden Empire we created will also become such a powerful civilization and such a powerful empire!"

Evil dragons with different scales were guarding the king of dragons. Even the soldiers of the Imperial Legion could not get within a hundred meters of Charon.

At this weak moment, these dragons who have grown up together with him since childhood have always been Charon's most trustworthy companions.

Charon swallowed the fruit of the Tree of Life, letting the abundant life energy wash over his exhausted body and repair the wounds.

The green dragon Antajena was also using the spells she had learned, combined with her own green dragon talents, to feed back to Charon the life essence absorbed by the poisonous and bloodthirsty ancient vines that she had cultivated.

The huge amount of life energy and essence replenished made Karon's weak body become strong again at a speed visible to the naked eye. The broken scales on his body were shattered and fell off by Karon, and the new scales began to glow again.

In addition to the magic power that is still slowly recovering, the blood of the ancestral dragon is still on the verge of exhaustion. In this place that has been almost destroyed by the demonic aura, these things will take time to accumulate and slowly recover.

The soldiers of the Empire's legions began to clean up the battlefield in an orderly manner. The soldiers who had experienced many wars cut off the heads of the remaining demons without any deliberate orders from the commander, and built a memorial on both sides of the plane channel seal.

The hideous and ferocious demon skulls are extremely rare materials in the hands of mages who specialize in necromancy or other spellcasters and warlocks who study demonic powers.

But in the hands of the imperial legionnaires, it can only serve as a proof of the imperial legion's military strength. This crude custom has become popular in the imperial legion.

But the skilled spellcasters were not happy with this. Among these demons, the low-level ones were not that precious and could not be sold for much.

But every organ of the surviving bodies of many mid-level and high-level demons were worth gold and silver coins in the eyes of these mages.

The young high-level wizard of the empire, Sakro, led a team of spellcasters to block these warriors who did not know how to use resources, and shouted loudly: "Even a dog is valuable, let alone these demons that are more powerful than dogs?"

"Do you understand that in the market of our Ekania world, the corpse of a strong adult male can even be sold for the price of one gold coin? In the hands of those spellcasters who study dark magic, the corpses of these demons are even more valuable."

"Even a mutilated demon corpse can be sold at a low price to those scavenging dark wizards," Sakro's saliva flew out and he pointed at the commander of the legion.

"Those high-level demon corpses are the first choice for liches. They are enough to sell for hundreds or thousands of gold coins. The materials for necromancy are so rare, but the mages in the dark dare not purchase the materials openly."

"But on the battlefield of the Empire, these demons have no human rights and are legal materials. No country or force can use this to condemn us, which is enough to bring a huge income to the Empire."

One spellcaster even pulled out an ancient abacus-like magical instrument from his ring and started to play it in front of the legion commander.

"Those mages and liches are not short of money. What they lack is time to find materials. We will use the corpses of these demons to exchange for their bulging money."

"Look," Sakro pointed at the body of the dead slaughter demon and advised earnestly, "Any part of a body like this will be worth a lot of money."

"Heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys. We have our own team of spellcasters who will perform detailed segmentation and dismemberment of these materials. The heart of a high-level demon is worth at least thousands of gold coins to those who want to exchange it for more powerful power."

"We will also upgrade the materials supplied for other internal organs to meet or even exceed the standards of spellcasting materials."

"There are also claws, armor and whips for slaughtering demons. These are the favorite materials of those poor warriors. Although those warriors are relatively poor, they can still sell them for a good price."

"There's also the blood of demons. Take advantage of them right after they die, just like the chickens in the vegetable market. Their blood is still fresh and can be extracted and used. Do you understand?" The legion commander was covered in dust and speechless.

Although the unique status of these spellcasters in the Golden Empire is not necessarily higher than that of the commanders, the commander has no way to argue even if he wants to in this area of ignorance.

"This, this is the proof of the bravery of the soldiers. This, this is the honor of the soldiers," the commander of the legion scratched his head and squeezed out two words.

The commander was greeted by a waterfall of saliva.

Sakro jumped up angrily and roared, "Bravery, honor? The emperor's affirmation is your honor. Your bravery, which has been seen by his majesty, no longer needs to be proven."

"But all these are shining gold coins all over the ground. Do you think the Imperial Army doesn't need military expenditures to go out? Where do you think these armors that even ordinary demons can't break through came from? Did they fall from the sky in front of you?"

"And where do you get the treatment that makes other ordinary mages in the outside world jealous? These are the extra benefits gained from conquering the plane world. How can you waste them!"

The dragon lords didn't really care about the quarrels between their warriors and mages, but when the word "gold coins" appeared, every dragon raised its head and pretended to prick up its ears.

It was not until the commander, covered in dust, ordered his soldiers to step aside and let these precious mages pick and choose as if they were shopping in a market that these dragon lords breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s not that these dragons are greedy for money, but the word "gold coins" naturally has a special attack attraction to the dragons.

Karon bared his fangs and cut off the spiritual power's induction on the people of the empire. In this battle, not only did he gain a lot, but he also knew what to do in the future.

The entire empire also had the opportunity to grow stronger through this battle.

The realm of imperial power is born from the existence of the empire and from the existence of spirituality.

Although the ancestral red dragon is the supreme creator and crown, Kalon, who possesses spiritual authority, can do much more.

It is just like creating secondary authority and distributing it to the dragons in the dragon group.

Charon can also use spiritual authority to grant the power of the Imperial Realm to loyal warriors, powerful chapter masters, and hardworking officials.

Coming from the masses, returning to the masses.

This borrowed power can be divided according to the size of the official rank system within the imperial system. The mark of each legion commander is the material existence that carries this ability, and the inauguration seal of each official is the medium for them to borrow the power.

The more powerful the empire is, the more powerful the power they borrow will be. The more powerful the imperial power they borrow, the more powerful the empire will be.

As for the ancestral red dragon that sits high on the spiritual throne, its future place of power will become unpredictable as the influence of the empire expands.

But this is just Caron's current idea. Before it can be truly implemented, many details still need to be carefully considered.

For a long time to come, Charon might share this hard work, oh, this powerful power, with these dragons who have obtained secondary authority.

And now, it's time to enjoy the fruits of victory.

As Karon stepped on the skeleton of the legendary demon Sacres, his claws extracted all the heat and temperature from the surrounding space. The biting cold frost instantly spread from under his claws and covered him.

In an instant, the dozens of meters long demon corpse under his feet was frozen by Charon in the area of absolute zero. Even the breath that spontaneously bloomed from the legendary demon's death was completely frozen by the biting frost and not a single breath could be transmitted.

A piece of exquisite jade appeared in Karon's claws. The ancient dragon language began to overlap and resound. The remaining magic power and elements between heaven and earth responded to the will of the ancestral red dragon, and stirred up a boiling wind.

Under the magical effect of the Nine Rings, the huge and heavy corpse of the legendary demon was collected by the jade in the claws of Karon. The powerful body of more than 30 meters was imprisoned in the jade which was only one inch in size in the claws of the ancestral red dragon.

Just like a piece of amber, light can penetrate this jade normally. But even the prophecy spell cannot find the place where the legendary demon is imprisoned and sealed in this world.

Kalon hid the jade stone with the imprisonment spell back into his scales, then spread his wings and raised his head and said with a smile: "Let's go, it's time to wake up Rosani and let him return to the dragon group!"

Hulong, one after another giant dragons with different scales followed the ancestor red dragon and spread their wings into the sky. Just like when they were young, they soared in the sky and patrolled the territory, flying towards the other end of the continent.

The Grand Master of the Sanctuary, Lapers, stood on the floating island and sighed silently. It seemed that he would have to clean up the mess here.
