Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 286 Do you want to die?

The armor shone towards the sun, and the scales flake like cold. The army of the Golden Empire pushed forward like a wall of steel.

The Death Knight's Centaur Legion warriors stamped their hooves, and each stomp on the ground was in sync with the pace of the entire legion.

The golem army's tall bodies are not bulky, and their steps are in tune with the legion's footsteps, resonating with the vast sound of the legion's marching formation.

The 500-strong Heavy Armor Blade Regiment of War Lizards at the front and the mixed Heavy Armor Regiment are the starting point and center of resonance for the entire legion.

The steps of these heavily armored warriors were powerful and neither hurried nor slow, and the distance and timing of each step were almost perfectly matched.

Dong dong dong,
The friction sound between heavy steel armor and weapons sounded continuously, becoming a symphony of steel. The legion of a thousand people was as powerful as a mountain.

Among the people watching the two armies from a distance of several miles away, there were not only some intelligence spies who were investigating the strength of the Golden Empire under the guise of adventurers, but also people with different thoughts.

Ordinary people and fools make up the majority of the world's population, but there are definitely many smart people.

After five kings emerged in succession in the northern continent, these major forces, which were regarded as barbaric areas by other regional civilizations, have already been given more attention by most forces.

Apart from the two dominant empires in the Central Continent, no other force would not care about this.

Not only because the five kings of the Northern Lands each commanded an incredibly powerful army and occupied a vast territory, they all seemed to have great room for development.

What’s more important is that each of the five kings of the Northern Land who have risen to fame is rumored to be an ambitious person. Even with the exception of Charal Caesar, the human monarch of the Hobis Empire, the other kings are evil in the popular sense.

Although every mature person knows that the truth of the world cannot be judged by superficial impressions, the so-called evil camp and the good camp are just stereotypes promoted by those in power and vested interests who hold the right to speak.

But not only will the vast majority of people who are influenced by the ideas output by a minority think so, even the minority who hold the truth and voice in the world will believe it firmly after repeating the stereotype of an event thousands of times.

After all, there really are races in this world that are born evil to the core and in their blood. Even though humans, who claim to be in the good camp, become evil, even the devils in the Nine Hells and the demons in the abyss have to admit defeat.

But the fundamental identity of a race is determined by the overwhelming majority and common characteristics of a race.

This is also the reason why the Golden Empire, the kingdom of dragons, has been highly valued.

Because the Dragon Emperor of the Golden Empire seems to have the ambition to unify all the five-colored dragons in the world of Ekania, as can be seen from the "Dragon Code" promulgated by the empire and its subsequent impact.

And this ancestral red dragon seems to be on the road to success.

People who are out of order are out of order everywhere, but among dragons, the vast majority of them are passively out of order.

Some dragons are not only affected by the blood of the evil dragon, but their nature is not to pursue freedom, but to pursue freedom in the disguise of absolute control that overrides everything in the world.

This pursuit of freedom also means disorder, because the orderly world does not want dragons or creatures of any race to have absolute freedom.

However, the order established by the Golden Empire created by the ancestral red dragons allows these dragons, whether they are those who yearn to escape the influence of the blood of chaos or those who pursue freedom above all else, to find their own place in this order.

Order contains disorder, and order accommodates disorder.

Reform means disorder, change means disorder, but the empire created by the ancestral red dragon and the group of dragons drives continuous reform and change with order.

People are always pursuing external freedom, freedom related to the social structure, so they are always rebelling against society rather than rebelling against the internal psychological structure that creates this society.

But because of the existence of order, people are aware of the so-called freedom and perceive the state and concept of freedom. This also means disorder and does not represent true freedom.

So, what people need is not freedom, but change, constant change.

When people rebel against society under the guise of pursuing freedom, they are constantly demanding that the old order be replaced by a new one, without end.

But under the consciousness and system of the Golden Empire, they will always have the opportunity to achieve the freedom they pursue by promoting reforms and changes in the Golden Empire.

Under the dragon group, every race can find itself in order, build order on disorder, and ultimately rely on its own abilities to break through itself and gain relative freedom.

Therefore, whether it was the dragons or other races, they were gradually accommodated by the order of the Golden Empire. Their will was consolidated by this cultural inclusiveness and enterprising spirit, and they became the golden people of today.

This is the view expressed by several famous scholars in the world of Ekania, who studied and analyzed the growing strength and influence of the Golden Empire.

These great scholars openly stated that the success of the Golden Empire was inevitable, and if the Dragon Kingdom was allowed to develop, it would become more powerful than ever before.

The advanced productivity, advanced social system, and advanced cultural ideology represented by the Golden Empire ultimately represent an advanced order, which will naturally replace the old order and become the dominant order civilization in the world of Ekania.

Perhaps those hegemonic empires did not care, but other forces in the northern continent, including several major empires and various noble principalities and kingdoms in the southern part of the continent, have begun to notice signs of this.

The territories of these nobles are gradually becoming dumping grounds for the products and processed goods of the Golden Empire. Under some economic policies of the bad dragon Midir, the Steel Dragon, the huge economic entity of the entire empire is being mobilized, making other noble territories the Golden Empire's harvest grounds.

The Golden Empire's advanced productivity is enough to produce a large number of cheap goods, squeezing out the markets in these noble territories.

These include weapons, armor, arcane materials, magical artifacts, cheap scrolls, clothing, and even common household items.

They could not directly refuse trade relations with the Golden Empire because of their interests. Their neighbors were also trading with the Golden Empire at the same time. Refusal would mean weakening of strength, loss of interests, and ultimately being annexed.

Those nobles can certainly increase relevant taxes and tariffs to effectively curb this single trade deficit and profit flow, but this is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

Unless all the nobles unite to form an army to fight against the increasingly terrifying economy of the Golden Empire, or a huge war in the future to divide the power and interests of the Golden Empire.

Because once this ancestral red dragon succeeds, the Gogmora dragon group will be almost comparable to the dragon lords who ruled the world in ancient times. With the five-colored dragon clan united as one, plus their extremely strong wealth, strength and legion, no one wants to see this happen.

Therefore, almost no one who came here was there out of pure curiosity. During the months of confrontation between the Golden Empire and the Frost Giants, even the wandering wild dragons watched the changes in the dispute with their own purposes.

"The soldiers of the Golden Empire are not only powerful monsters, but also sons of good families with their own property. Their will to fight is much stronger than those sons of farmers recruited by nobles and the ruffians who only dare to show off their bravery. There is no comparison between them."

Leah Caesar stood on the hill, looking at the neat military formation of the Golden Empire from afar, and said thoughtfully.

A bright green crystal light appeared in the eyes of this noble lady. It was the power of the void and the power of void psionic energy that the monarch of the Hobis Empire, Charal Caesar, mastered after successfully killing the consciousness of the void evil god attached to his body.

Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Hobis Empire came here from thousands of miles away.

But judging from her somewhat worn armor and her style, which is similar to that of an ordinary female mercenary warrior, it is obvious that Leah Caesar is no longer the pampered girl she used to be, but has experienced the hardships of life.

Nali, the butler who had always followed the princess, was now dressed like a common warrior, but his long gray hair was still neatly tied behind his head.

"The Golden Empire's armaments are now even stronger than the Empire's Psionic Corps, but fortunately, with the barrier of the God-Forsaken Mountains, there is no substantial conflict between the Empire and the dragons for the time being."

Nali's still strong body stood straight, two heads taller than Leah Caesar, but he always stood behind the princess.

"But the multi-armed giant king of the God-Forsaken Mountains, Moges, has become a great enemy of the empire. I wonder if this multi-armed giant king will go north or south after unifying the God-Forsaken Mountains."

"And will this king of dragons, as rumored by the outside world, have the ambition to annex all the seas and mountains?"

Leah Caesar sighed softly. Her beautiful face was untouched by the wind and frost, but the years of hardship had completely wiped out the innocence in her eyes.

Nelly didn't know either. Although the butler was knowledgeable, he couldn't guess the signs of the future from the appearances that had never been revealed.

"It seems that we are not the only ones who care about these issues. Others are curious as well," Nali's eyes swept towards those who were watching the confrontation between the two forces from afar.

"The Spear of the Giant God" Remond, a famous orc warrior, has become famous in the dragon territory and competes with the strong men of other races for the title of a thousand victories.

But this orc warrior came here only after the war between the Orc Empire and the Kingdom of Dragons ended. There is no doubt that there is a hidden force behind him.

Kylo, the "Sword of the Dawn", is a swordsman with a reputation among human nations. Although he sometimes wins and loses in the arena of the Golden Empire, no one can deny that his swordsmanship is superb. After all, there are many factors that determine victory or defeat.

Many people are looking forward to a duel between the Sword of the Dawn and Rayleigh, the rising warrior swordsman of the Golden Empire.

However, Nali knew that Kylo was a strong man trained from a kingdom in the central continent, and he might have some unspeakable purpose for the Golden Empire.

There were also a few dwarf warriors standing far away on a low hill in the grassland, but under the gaze of the power of the void, Nali could clearly see the faces of these dwarves.

These dwarves, who are good at mining iron ore and making weapons and armor, are covered in armor that looks no less heavy than the armor worn by the soldiers of the Golden Empire Legion.

But the metal mesh on the kneeplates and other styles of armor of these dwarven warriors riding gray goats and thorn-tusked boars, as well as the weapons they carried, gave these warriors away as dwarves.

The main weapon is a mattock, and the secondary weapon is a short broadsword and a round shield. As far as Nali knows, only the Dwarf Kingdom in the Gray Hills likes such equipment.

There are also those wild dragons that seem to be gathered around the Golden Empire. As a human noble who has lived for nearly a hundred years, Nali knows very well that those seemingly ordinary blue dragons are the only remaining blue dragon family in the central continent - the Heleka Blue Dragon Family.

Human civilization controls almost all places on the central continent, except for the vast desert in the west - the Saraka Desert.

This desert is very dangerous because of the ancient relics left everywhere. Even the several human kingdoms around the Saraka Desert will not easily set foot in this place.

Thus, this desert whose area is difficult to explore became the gathering place of all the remaining five-colored dragons in the central continent. There are some giant dragons of each race, among which the Heleka blue dragon family is the most powerful and is the overlord of the Saraka Desert.

What’s interesting is that in this vast desert, no human or dragon has ever been able to find any trace of the red dragon, the most powerful of the five colored dragon species.

In addition to these forces, Nali also discovered traces of the rarely seen Ekania elves and traces of vampires.

But the aura and faces of some of them were obscured by the shadow of magic, and even Nali could not tell where they came from.

But Nali suspected that if this place was not too far from the sea and deep inland, the Nagas who were at war with the deep-sea fishmen would also come here.

The changes in the situation in the North Land have affected the hearts and minds of countless people.

But when Nali glanced at the Frost Giants' army, he wondered from the bottom of his heart, if there was no Frost Giant King, would these seemingly powerful races be able to withstand even a full-scale charge by the Golden Empire Legion?
In the eyes of the onlookers, the 3,000 warriors in the Frost Giant Legion were pushing and shoving in chaos. From time to time, monsters waved whips and scolded the warriors to march in neat rows, just like ducks being herded by shepherds.

Even the white dragons of Sakless seemed to feel a little embarrassed. They just circled in the sky without any intention of landing.

Woo,
The Golden Empire's legion trumpets sounded, but this was not an attack.

Then the steel jungle came to a complete stop, like a silent iron wall. "Stop where you are. Anyone who advances will die!"

The imperial herald roared, but not at the imperial legion, but at the monster army running towards them in a disorderly manner.

The two armies were separated by two or three miles, and a stream covered with green moss and brown algae separated the two armies. However, under the unclear orders of the commander, the 3,000 monster troops of the Frost Giants began to try to cross the stream and attack the army formation of the Golden Empire.

"Teach these guys a lesson,"

"Kill them,"

"Go ahead and kill these bastards,"

The howling of monsters was incessant and bustling like a morning market, while the army of the Golden Empire was silent and calm like a deep pool.

The blue dragon Akzi did not say anything. His cold eyes just gave a slight glance at the lizardman Rayleigh. The meaning was self-evident.

Cang Lang,

The shining blade flashed, and the lizardman Rayleigh raised the long blade that was emitting a cold light, and shouted in a deep and powerful voice: "Golem Legion, Alchemy Legion, everyone get ready!"

Standing in the golem army, the tall golem painted blood red had its eyes lit up. This was the warrior spirit that descended from the Dragon Temple, serving as the brain and commander of the golem army.

It has the power to command all golems and temporarily destroy the root consciousness links of all golems that may rebel due to interference from other forces.

"My lord has summoned us to wipe out the foreign enemies and open fire without restriction!" The tall Heroic Spirit Golem commander gave the order in a muffled voice. The voice transmission link from the golem transmitted the commander's order to the ears of all golems and the alchemy legion in an instant.

Click, click, click

The golem army lined up in a long snake formation, with pairs of pupils carved from magic crystals lighting up. They raised their arms in unison, and the magic-condensing light-conversion devices on their wrists activated instantly.

Two thick gun barrels also rose up behind these golems, placed on their shoulders made of clay, rock and steel.

The biological alchemy army took the form of wolves, standing in a line between the legs of the golem warriors. The gun barrels loaded on their backs automatically raised up, three inches above their backs, and tilted up.

No sound could accurately describe the roar that erupted at this moment. The agitation of magic rays and the bombardment of Vulcan cannons produced intense flames and surging compressed magic at this moment.

The two magic rays on each golem's wrist, plus the two main cannons on the shoulders and the magic rays in the pupils, constitute a intensive and indiscriminate attack.

The double-barreled Vulcan cannon on the back of the Alchemy Legion is also a mobile turret.

The huge Vulcan cannon is designed to target densely packed mobs. It is made of high-energy gunpowder developed by the goblin Boom Boom, and its power lies in the explosive shock wave generated by its bombardment.

The magic rays and magic penetrating rays are the special striking weapons used by the Golem Legion to target the commander-level strong men in the legion.

The bombardment of the Vulcan cannon was comparable to that of a heavy artillery. With one shot, the monsters in the central area all had their bones broken, and their limbs and arms scattered everywhere. Many Winter Wolf Cavalry also screamed and fell into the stream.

Some orcs had their internal organs shaken by the shock wave of the Vulcan cannon explosion. Blood oozed from the corners of their eyes and ear holes. They felt as if they were hit by a psychedelic spell, dizzy, and their ears were filled with buzzing sounds.

The attacks of magic rays and magic penetrating beams can directly penetrate the skin defenses of some thick-haired snowmen and long-haired ogres and pierce their hearts.

The intensive attacks not only interrupted the advance of the monster army that tried to cross the stream, but also directly cut off the flow of the stream covered with green moss and brown algae due to the fierce artillery fire and magic rays.

At this moment, the blood and flesh of the monsters filled the gaps in the stream and flowed violently.

Everyone was speechless. Even the Frost Giant Legion and the tens of thousands of monsters lined up in the rear stopped their demonstrative howls. Frost was even covered on the icy cheeks of the Frost Giants.

No one could have imagined that nearly half of the 3,000 monsters that charged would be slaughtered before they got within half a mile of the Golden Empire Legion, and this was only the first wave of demonstration attacks by the Golden Empire Legion.

"Where is the Frost Giant King?" The blue dragon Akzi spread his wings, stepped out from the crowd, and shouted loudly. The dragon's voice was ups and downs, "Since you took the initiative to request a meeting with the Empire, why don't you show up? If you want a war, the Empire will grant you a glorious death."

"I also want to know if the bones of the frost giants are harder than those of the orcs."

This blue dragon, whose aura is as violent as thunder, has a body length of eighteen meters. Its huge blue scales cover its body, and under the sunlight, it appears as deep as the sky.

The slender and strong neck was held high, and the huge horn began to change gradually as it grew, from growing forward and upward to winding backward. The two short horns began to change into a visor-like bone structure, making it look like a dragon king wearing a horn crown.

The huge wings were spread out, covered with lightning patterns and spots of thunder.

The white dragon Sakeles hovering in the sky was furious, not only because the other party had slaughtered the white dragon's only remaining slaves and dependents, but also because the other party had treated him as nothing and ignored everyone else.

Then Sakless swooped down from the sky, enveloped by the majesty of an adult dragon, as powerful as a prison.

"Arrogant Blue Scale, are all the dragons of the Golden Empire as arrogant as you? I, Ice Prison Sakless, am standing before you, and you dare to ignore me."

Sackless's giant claws swooped down, trying to crush the arrogant blue dragon's neck directly. However, considering the size of an adult dragon and the speed at which it fell, the distance of hundreds of meters was covered in an instant.

However, the pressure from the adult dragon was not enough to suppress the blue dragon Akzi. Even the legions of the Golden Empire remained unmoved. The spiritual essence of the legion's will was revealed, and they firmly resisted the pressure from the dragon.

Crack,

The blue dragon Akzi's pupils suddenly became bright and white, and the lightning patterns on his wings flowed instantly, as if a flash of lightning. At this moment, the blue dragon's body became almost transparent.

Countless surging electric currents appeared in its body, allowing the blue dragon Akzi's speed to break through the limitations of sound and flash like lightning.

Although the blue dragon Akzi does not have the knowledge of the ancestral red dragon and cannot fully understand the knowledge of the ancestral red dragon, even if he possesses all the knowledge of the ancestral red dragon, the abilities he possesses cannot be exactly the same as those of the ancestral red dragon.

What the blue dragon Akzi has realized so far is that with his own innate bloodline, although he cannot transform into elements, he can rely on lightning to travel through the void.

It is like the blue dragon Akiz treats its own body as the work that needs to be done in the electromagnetic field. Akiz is the work done by the force in it, and can use the electromagnetic field to accelerate its own work.

So the blue dragon Akzi mastered lightning-fast speed.

"Go down, you are not worthy to talk to me like this. Let the real leader of the Frost Giant Legion come out to see me," the blue dragon Akzi's bright eyes flickered with lightning, and he instantly appeared on the back of the white dragon Sakeles, turning the tables.

The huge blue dragon claw pressed down, and in an instant a huge amount of electric current and the chaos and violent poison condensed into the evil dragon's blood as its own power simultaneously rushed into the body of the white dragon Sakeles.

The lightning and thunder paralyzed his body, and the poison of chaos paralyzed his mind. The white dragon Sakeles, who seemed more powerful than the blue dragon Akzi, was knocked to dust by the blue dragon's claw at this moment.

Boom! The unexpected white dragon Sakeles flew out diagonally, and its huge body plowed a deep pit on the wasteland.

Although the powerful body of the adult white dragon was intact, Sakeles could feel that the boiling violence, unparalleled darkness, cruelty and chaos in the evil dragon's blood were impacting and guiding the roots of his bloodline.

He will soon become crazy. A crazy dragon is a deadly danger to other creatures, but in front of his own kind, it may be a fatal flaw.

The opponent cannot break through his armor instantly, but facing his crazy self, he can easily find the weaknesses that are not covered by the armor.

"I must defeat this blue dragon before everything gets into complete chaos," a thought flashed through Sakeles' mind, followed by a fierce roar.

"Roar," he stomped the ground and flapped his wings.

"That's enough, Sakless, stop embarrassing yourself,"

The gentle voice, but with an irresistible majesty, instantly cleared the white dragon's confused mind.

The densely packed Frost Giant Legion warriors, like a parting tide, split a path in the middle.

The armored Frost Giant King slowly walked out. He was tall, strong, yet calm and resolute. This was the first impression of all creatures.

"It seems that the Emperor of the Golden Empire did not refuse this appointment because he could not resist my power, but because he felt that I was not worthy of him coming?"

The Frost Giant King stepped out from the crowd and spoke calmly.

But as the Frost Giant King finished his words, the time of the entire world seemed to stop and slow down. The whistling sound of the wind on the grassland faded away from the ears of everyone, and an indescribable pressure descended on the grassland.

Everyone was speechless, as if the spiritual shackles between heaven and earth were hanging over their heads.

"Then I will show you the price of despising me."

The Frost Giant King raised an ordinary spear, and his majestic will firmly locked onto the blue dragon Akzi in the sky, and the spear was slowly raised.

An indescribable deadly threat deeply hung over Akiz's heart.

"Even if I turn into lightning, I will die!"

A flash of enlightenment flashed through Akiz's mind, and he roared, the majesty of a true dragon spread out, and his spiritual authority resonated with the will of the legion.

Then, above the sky, there was a spreading dark cloud, and an invisible field and aura enveloped everything, covering the sky.

Even the five fingers of the Frost Giant King that were holding the spear were instantly affected by this huge will. With a snap, they broke the ordinary bone spear in their hands.

Is that an illusion above the sky?
No, that's not an illusion, that's a projection.

Tens of thousands of Frost Giant legions, thousands of Imperial legions, and countless onlookers could all see it.

Above the sky, in the projection, a giant red dragon was guarded in the royal palace by many tall storm giants.

The giant dragon sat majestically on the throne, slowly turning its head and casting its gaze here.

Dark golden eyes, calm, indifferent, and eerie.

"You want to die?"

The Dragon Emperor on the throne spoke.
