Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 332 The End is Coming

The capital of the king, the Capitoline City of the Golden Empire.

The royal city of the Golden Empire is also a large city-level administrative unit directly under the jurisdiction of the empire.

The super-large city is the empire's political center, cultural center, magic civilization and technological innovation center, and national civilization exchange center.

According to the statistics of the municipal department of the imperial government, the royal capital has 16 districts under its jurisdiction, and with the areas under expansion, the total area is 68,000 square kilometers.

In addition to the fact that the building area is exceptionally large due to the aesthetics and architectural standards of the Dragon Kingdom, it is also because super-high-rise and multi-story residential buildings are not popular in the current planning of the Golden Empire.

This is also related to the construction conditions and materials of the building. Large-scale wonder-like buildings can be built using magic, but ordinary residential buildings are currently unable to bear such a load.

People are like trees. The more they yearn for the sunshine above, the more their roots will extend into the dark underground. The same is true for a civilized country.

As a ruler who is not limited by the current environment and civilization, Kalon Gogmora certainly understands this truth.

Therefore, Kalon Gogmora never engaged in meaningless conquests because of the indelible desire for rule that was born in his dragon blood, and he always tried to develop his own country as much as possible within the scope of need.

From the day the Golden Empire's territory was born, the country was moving in the relatively right direction under his will.

Since the Golden Empire began to be self-sufficient in food and supplies, the empire's representative of paid education - the Dragon Academy has gradually spread to every city in the empire.

Then it gradually changed into compulsory education on a small scale, because only through such large-scale screening can real talents and real geniuses, as well as a large number of knowledgeable imperial grassroots, be screened out.

Under such circumstances, the Golden Empire digested the legacy and magic civilization technology left by the ancient magic empire, and also learned and digested the achievements of civilizations in several other opened up planes.

Combining the native magical civilization of the world of Ekania with the inherited knowledge of dragons, a civilized country like the Golden Empire was created under the will and thought of Karon Gogmora.

The measures and reaction speed of the empire in response to this dragon turmoil were actually extraordinarily fast.

After all, ancient spells like the Dragon Madness Chain have long disappeared from the material world for several epochs.

Even the descendants of the ancient dragon blood inheritance in the world of Ekania rarely come across such secrets in their inheritance, let alone the real Dragon Madness Curse.

Not only is the existence of the Dragon Madness Curse rare in the world, the conditions for activating the Dragon Madness Curse are also extremely harsh. After all, according to ancient legends, the original Dragon Madness Mystic Lock required gods as the carrier to unleash such large-scale power.

That’s right, the god who was once one of the carriers of the Dragon Madness Chain was the supreme god of metal dragons - His Majesty the Platinum Dragon God Bahamut.

The Platinum Dragon God Bahamut, who is known as the God of Pure Goodness, does not play a glorious role in this.

In the eyes of some ancient beings who are keen on conspiracy theories, this pure and kind dragon god is listed as one of the two evil gods in the universe, along with Lathander, who is also known as the "good god" in another universe.

It's not just because of the unscrupulous means used by the Platinum Dragon King Bahamut in dealing with the Immortal Queen Tiamat, but also because behind many secret events, the starting points and actions of this upright Platinum Dragon King are somewhat difficult to describe.

Of course, Kalon Gogmora is not a conspiracy theorist, but Kalon would not regard this platinum dragon god as the embodiment of light and goodness.

Kalon Gogmora does not believe in stereotypes. Even though the priesthood of the platinum dragon god has influenced him, in Kalon's eyes, the world is not black or white, but a delicate gray.

If one easily believes in a god because of the rigid definition of priesthood and the world, then he is either a fanatic or a self-righteous tool.

Most of the time, the Platinum Dragon God Bahamut is worthy of being a benevolent god and an elder of order with a vision. Just like when Charon once roared and shattered his projection incarnation, it did not make the Platinum Dragon God angry. That deep sigh represented Bahamut's attitude.

As for the attitude of the Immortal Queen Tiamat, who wanted to bring down divine punishment and force the Dragon Emperor of the Golden Empire to bow his head, her attitude was not that unpredictable.

Because according to some ancient rumors, the ancient dragon liches who created the Dragon Madness Labyrinth did not create it through their own research and exploration.

Instead, this ancient dragon lich received instruction from the immortal queen, the five-colored dragon god Tiamat, and only then did he master the principles of the Dragon Madness Chain.

The Heart of Nagamat also originated from Nagamat, the powerful dragon king who followed the immortal queen Tiamat in ancient times.

Only such a powerful dragon heart can carry the power of such a powerful spell as the Dragon Madness Chain to a certain extent, affect the capital of the entire Golden Empire, and gradually spread over time.

The Dragon King, the culprit of the 'Dragonfall Holy War' that spread across countless universes, should logically attribute its influence to the immortal queen Tiamat who brought down divine punishment.

But things are not that simple. Some rumors claim that in ancient times, the dragon king Nagamat was once controlled by a hidden ancient god of death.

Nagamat was controlled by this hidden god of death and destroyed Betis, a mysterious magic organization in ancient times, and seized the Nether Scroll, a scroll of knowledge written in the golden skin of the Cosmic Serpent.

The golden skin of the Cosmic Serpent was once written and woven by the ancient god of death who controlled and influenced the mysterious magic organization Betis.

It seems strange, doesn’t it? It is indeed strange.

Over the long, eons, the boredom of these high and mighty gods was beyond the imagination of mortal beings, and their secret struggles and conspiracies were no less complex than any mortal court, and were even far more complicated than mortal courts.

These gods can conspire against each other for some superficial "face", or they can temporarily put aside their disputes and join forces in the face of practical interests.

Just like the relationship between civilized countries.

Perhaps the temptations and trials in the eyes of the gods, when placed on the shoulders of mortals, are the unbearable weight of life.

Although the Dragon Kings of the Golden Empire and Kalon Gogmora did not know the real secrets and truth, they withstood this test.

The initial chaos was nothing but a surprise, because no one could have predicted that something like the Dragon Madness Maze would come at this moment and in this place.

Thanks to the empire's traditional architectural style, those mad dragons did not have the power to easily destroy the buildings of the King's Capital.

Large buildings built purely of volcanic rock and hard blocks can withstand the attacks of these mad beasts for a short period of time, because these beasts can no longer remember that they still possess the power of magic.

With the entire city defense barrier opened and suppressed, these dragons can only rely entirely on their own strength, and it is difficult for them to trigger the magical effects of the outside world.

Those innocent people who died were mostly unlucky people who were unable to react in time to the disaster that struck in an instant.

However, when the real legions of the Golden Empire were deployed to the King's City and the rapid reaction legions entered the King's City, the chaos had begun to be curbed.

When the Dragon Kings and lords who guarded other large cities in the Golden Empire arrived, the chaos in the King's Capital was suppressed.

thump, thump, thump

The gigantic city-destroying golem, controlled by the Centaur Kali, a heroic spirit who had died in battle in the past, marched unhindered on the avenue of the empire's second district.

Its tall body is made entirely of mountain steel alloy, which is stronger than the scales of an ordinary dragon and is difficult to destroy.

In particular, a thick layer of magic energy shield appeared around the body of this city-breaking golem, blocking all the crazy dragon's breath.

Bang, bang, bang, bang,

There was the sound of huge steel dragging across the hard floor, sparks and lightning splashing all the way, and a huge anchor-like weapon was dragged forward by the tall city-breaking golem.

In a pair of pupils engraved with red magic crystals, dense information flows, as if the magic detection matrix is jumping with the surrounding images.

The voice of the magic intelligent main brain sounded, "One hundred and twenty ticks ahead, two hundred and thirty meters away, in the back street of the 'Beauty and the Snake' tavern, two non-destructive hostile targets were detected. After analysis, they are two teenage green dragons, trying to break through the building defenses of the empire's citizens..."

The Magic Detection Eye combines the thinking machines and humanoid computers of the Dune world, as well as the detection-assisted intelligent brain constructed by Ekania's native magic civilization. Its functions imitate those of an array-controlled radar.

It has a series of functions such as identification, tracking, judgment and locking. By connecting to the Empire's dome defense control system, the intelligent auxiliary main brain carried by this city-breaking golem is more powerful and can detect farther and in more detail.

These slightly groundbreaking applications of magical technology are just part of Karon Gogmora's past memories.

But the Golden Empire must implement the ideas and will of the Dragon Emperor, no matter how much resources and time it takes.

Whatever Kalon Gogmora wants to do, the Golden Empire will use all its strength to achieve the desired effect.

Thanks to the empire's uninterrupted popularization of education over the past decade, a large number of grassroots talents have emerged in the Golden Empire during this period, which makes it easy to combine the knowledge and ideas of various civilizations so closely.

The Golden Empire's 'Kings of Knowledge' are on the list, numbering as many as 160. The final step in combining the ideas of these magical techniques is completed by the magic scholar ranked 158th.

The intelligent main brain and detection and control matrix installed in these golem armies were named "War" by the Magic Integration Department of the Golden Empire!
Regardless of whether it is the 'War' intelligent mainframe or the mainframe built in the Mage Tower standing on the top of the sky, the ultimate authority of everything is firmly locked in the thinking machine, a remnant of the ultimate creation of the universe's former civilization, which was placed deep in the Dragon King's Court and sent back from the Dune Plane by the Dragon Blood Angel Gabriel.

The ultimate destination of these intelligent masterminds that imitate thinking machines and are replicated through human computers is the Emperor of the Golden Empire, Karon Gogmora.

However, the Centaur Kali was not very interested in the War Intelligence Mastermind, because Kali had once wanted to chat with War, but was rejected by the other party. So the Centaur Kali said impatiently, "I know, I know," and strode towards the detected target area.

A quick reminder sounded instantly, "Attention, there is an enemy attacking from the right rear, according to analysis..."

boom,
The huge golem took a step and turned around in an instant. The magic core in its body burst out with powerful force, which instantly brought the power of the entire golem to the normal output critical point. The thick and long iron anchor clanged and knocked away the entire body of a young dragon that fell from the roof of the house.

The boy's dragon body was no stronger than the weapon of this city-breaking golem, and he was hit directly against a doorpost and fell to the ground. He was unable to get up in a short time, and his limbs were stiffly scratching the ground.

The golem slowly raised its left arm, and the thick magic pulse cannon was gradually lighting up, and energy links were lighting up inside the golem's body.

"Warning, warning! Warning, warning!"

War sent out a red message warning and a serious voice, "The target in front of us does not have the ability to resist again. The target is the young White Dragon, who has been listed by the Empire as a target that cannot be destroyed for the time being."

"The lethality of your magic pulse cannon has reached the critical point of destroying the target. Please stop your illegal behavior. Although I cannot forcibly stop your behavior and wishes, I will faithfully record this situation in the main brain!"

"laugh!"

This was not only the disdainful sneer from the Centaur Kali, but also the sound of the magic-powered pulse wrist cannon. A thin magic-powered pulse ray quickly lit up and shot out.

The thin beam of magic power was extremely condensed, and the light that carried magic power through the enchantment easily penetrated the magical defense scales on the white dragon's body, and pierced the limbs of the young dragon whose head was stunned by the violent blow, completely destroying the young dragon's ability to move.

"Got it!" The Centaur Kali replied carelessly and ran towards other targets.

In such a huge city, there are not only trial-type city-destroying golems driven by the Centaur Kali, but also numerous golem armies driven and controlled by the heroic spirits of the Dragon Temple.

There are also large numbers of alchemical creature legions, under the command of the legion commander, who, in accordance with the orders of the empire's high-altitude command center, gradually clear out the mad dragons in the city and completely destroy in a humanitarian sense those speculators who take the opportunity to cause chaos.

Buzz, buzz, buzz,
Several huge enchanted armor-piercing crossbow arrows directly pierced through the wings and hind limbs of the two adult dragons, piercing through the bodies of the two adult dragons.

The mad dragon was suppressed by the huge barrier and could not resist the attack from the Golden Empire's heavy defensive weapons with its own scales and body.

However, in the face of the powerful vitality of these dragons, such serious injuries will not be fatal, but will only make these crazy beasts lose their ability to move.

In the King's City, many of the chromatic dragons that appear are in their adolescent stages, and there are very few adult chromatic dragons. This is because once these chromatic dragons reach adolescence, they will become extremely arrogant and look for their own independent territories everywhere.

When they reach adulthood, most chromatic dragons have a territory of their own.

More than half of the adult dragons that appeared in the King's Capital were metallic dragons, gem dragons, lesser dragons, and some strange dragons whose faces were hidden.

However, once these powerful adult dragons try to fly up, they will be attacked by the giant crossbows and heavy artillery on the city walls.

There were also elven archer regiments and mixed long-range shooting regiments that shuttled across the arch bridge in the sky and subdued those mad dragons one by one.

In every area of the city, soldiers from the Golden Empire's legions were organized to hunt these beasts, and the devil and demon warriors flew at low altitude to eliminate their targets.

The gigantic wolf Fenrir was also running and jumping in the streets of the city, cooperating with the warriors around him to subdue the dragons one by one.

The dragon, suppressed by the barrier and losing its magical power, was unable to resist the power of the Golden Empire, especially in front of the dragon lord of the empire.

The sky was filled with lightning and thunder, accompanied by the huge body of Thunder Lord Doss, an angry young male blue dragon, wandering over the city.

While methodically issuing his orders to the command center in the city above the empire, he drew the thunder and lightning in the sky and held them in his claws, scanning the scene in the city.

This is the skill that Thunder Lord Doss learned from his ancestor red dragon Kalon Gogmora. Doss has never been proud of it, because in his opinion, it is just a last resort.

But today, Blue Dragon Doss is proud of his own abilities.

An adult gray dragon, Nalo roared, leaped over the building, and pounced on the imperial security guards.

Crack,

The blazing thunder turned into the javelin of fate, which no one could stop, and shot down from the claws of Thunder Lord Dos.

The arrival of danger caused the adult gray dragon Naro to roll in the air instinctively, but this blazing spear of thunder was like an arrow shot from the longbow of destiny in the hands of the legendary elven god. It hit the target with one strike, nailing the adult gray dragon Naro in the air and then sticking it on the road.

With the blessing of the barrier of the King's City, the power of the blue dragon Doss skyrocketed unprecedentedly. The condensed thunder spear was almost tangible, pinning down the adult gray dragon.

"Oh, I can't hold on any longer,"

The Scar Dragon Roca shot down a young dragon, his eyes bared with anger, and he roared at the white dragon Sakeles in front of him.

These latecomers did not have the strong self-discipline and resistance to dragon spells like the core members of Gogmora, so they were affected uncontrollably in a very short time after being bathed in the power of the spell.

The white dragon Sakless suddenly turned around and bared his fangs, but a huge shadow fell in the sky, and the young red dragon Caedilos stepped down from the sky and knocked the scarred dragon unconscious with one claw.

"Watch it," the young red dragon Caedilos bared his fangs, roared, and soared into the air again, "I'm going to kill these scum!"

The figures of giant dragon lords appeared above the royal capital and began to suppress this sudden chaos.

The white dragon Kamide flapped its wings, connecting the empire's powerful territory and the magic barrier of the king's capital, and sent down a rainstorm in the sky that melted the ice.

The rainstorm covered the entire area, but it cleverly covered all the mad dragons and those opportunistic villains.

The dragons and villains didn't care until the white dragon lord Kamide flew in the sky, flapping his huge wings and speaking the ancient dragon language, and the whole area began to freeze in the heavy rain.

The copper dragon Alfred, the mist dragon Deniro, the ocean dragon Naxon, the white dragon Sloka, and the white dragon Roni, these giant dragons appeared one by one, and the chaos began to be destroyed.

"Roar," the adult golden dragon Naloya relied on her own magic treasure, the Mind Protection Chain, to resist the influence of the Dragon Madness Spell, firmly guarding the last bit of sanity, while resisting the attack of the adult silver dragon Flo.

The adult silver dragon Flo is not more powerful than the adult gold dragon Naloya, but the irrational silver dragon is very aggressive towards the kind-hearted gold dragon that is about to lose its mind.

Because the Golden Dragon Naloya is also unable to use any power other than her own.

"Wake up, Flo," the golden dragon Naloya roared. Her body was covered with the silver dragon's claw marks, and the silver dragon's body was also covered with scars caused by her.

But Jin Longna Luoya's body did not feel any pain. The pain in her heart was far more intense than the pain in her body.

call,
A heavy wind swept by, and a pair of red eyes descended from the sky. The red dragon Clenaya was like an eagle catching prey, digging its sharp claws deep into the back of the mad adult silver dragon, completely defeating Flo.

The most profound impression on the adult golden dragon Naloya was the cold, violent, and destructive eyes of the female red dragon Clenaya, and the rationality that restrained these forces.

The next moment, the distant sky suddenly lit up, and the Golden Dragon Naloya actually felt the real existence of the two forces, even though she could no longer see the signs clearly at such a long distance.

This briefly cleared the confused mind of the golden dragon Naloya, and she and countless other dragons looked up at the end of the distant sky, which seemed like an illusion.

After a brief moment of clarity, the power of the Dragon Madness Curse once again caused the golden dragon's consciousness to fall into chaos.

She began to inexplicably think of the Emperor of the Golden Empire, like the blazing light and breath that appeared in the sky.

"Gorgmora, the Emperor of Dragons?"

As if in response to the golden dragon's unconscious sigh, a pillar of magical light suddenly shot up into the sky from the King's Capital. It was a teleportation array located in the central square of the empire.

A huge dome unfolded, layer upon layer, and illusory magic teleportation arrays rose into the sky, shining brightly in the dome.

A terrifying king appeared in the dome. His aura began to spread, and his majesty became materialized, turning into the king's rage.

Those dark golden pupils were like a bright lamp that never went out in the storm. He came with the strong wind, with extreme light and heat, and was the raging flame under the dome.

The rage that dominated the world crushed the bloodthirsty desires of all the mad dragons with ease, leaving only the instinctive fear of the beasts.

Behind the rolling white clouds, the moon-light lanterns in all the cities went out one after another, and the sky gradually darkened.

When the emperor of the sky arrives, all the light will be swallowed up by him!
