Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 335: Meeting of Kings: Dragon King
The sharp howling of birds rang out in the endless forest, along with the cries of eagles and the howls of ferocious species.

Those were the rangers of the Golden Empire walking within their own territory, using these animals and beasts to gather the information they wanted.

Occasionally, there would be a few ancient tree men in the forest, coming alive from their quiet and natural state to communicate with the arriving rangers.

Even just half a night was enough for those well-prepared dragon hunters to escape far away from the Golden Empire.

Moreover, it is already the second day. If those dragon hunters carry some magical treasures and instruments for space teleportation, then the distance will be beyond the detection of even the great wizards and dragons of the empire.

But as long as there is existence in the world, there will definitely be traces of existence left behind.

The Golden Empire's search of the heavens and the earth may seem unnecessary, but it can bring some experience to the empire's warning and search system.

In addition to the rangers roaming the forest, there are also search ships of the Empire's Inland Guard sailing on the Golden River downstream.

The overall terrain of the Golden Empire is high in the north and low in the south. The Golden River flows from north to south along the terrain of the empire. It is the largest river in the empire and has countless branch rivers running from east to west.

Although the Golden River originates in the grasslands, it is replenished by waterways through the Dragon's Nest Mountains.

The glaciers that originally formed the Dragon's Nest Mountains were inhabited by two white dragons, Gmot and Kamide, and over time have permanently altered the geography.

Every day, huge amounts of glacier snow melt and form small tributaries that flow into the mother river of the empire.

Moreover, as the number of giant dragons in the empire increased, the geography of the Dragon's Nest Mountains changed more and more significantly.

Especially the original core members of the Gogmora dragon group. The mountains occupied by these dragons are the nodes of the main veins, which are almost higher than the mountains in the group.

This is not only because of the power and favor of the Empire's Dragon Emperor, Karon Gogmora, but also because of the lair effect where these outstanding dragons have lived for a long time.

It would take an ordinary dragon as long as a century for such supernatural signs to appear naturally around its lair.

Unfortunately, each core member of the Gogmora dragon group is not an ordinary dragon.

Except for the White Dragon Gemot and the White Dragon Kamide, the White Dragon Sloka and the White Dragon Roni are not qualified to occupy the main ridge of the mountain alone.

These two white dragons simply occupied two branches around the main vein of the empire's white-scaled twins, and built their own nests on the branches of the mountains.

Although the adult white dragon Sakless and the ferocious scar dragon Roca are powerful, they can only occupy two of the branches as their footholds.

As for the other white dragons, there are only five left of the frost dragon group originally led by the adult white dragon Sakeles, all of which are building nests around the main vein of the White King Twins.

The situation of dragons with other scales is almost the same as that of the white-scaled ones. Among the red dragons, besides Clenaya, only the young red dragon Caedilos can occupy a main vein alone.

However, Clenaya did not like having giant dragons living around her nest, so there was not a single giant dragon around the main vein occupied by this female red dragon, who had always had a bad temper.

Under such circumstances, the Golden River, which originally ran from north to south, became even larger, with water flow increasing and the width of the water surface becoming longer and longer.

The widest part of the Golden River is 120 kilometers wide, and the deepest part has not been actually measured by the Empire.

The narrowest part of the Golden River was the Feiyuan Gorge, which was once located in the middle of the lower reaches of the river and was only forty meters wide. The local people of the empire described it as being so wide that even wild apes in the mountains could fly over it, hence the name.

However, when the search ships passed the pass of Feiyuan Gorge, they saw shadows cast across the sky.

High in the sky, there is a giant dragon.

In that long queue, twenty flying dragons of almost the same size were controlled by their knights, guarding and clearing the way in front of the queue.

Sixteen white dragons of different sizes spread out and circled around, forming a guard array.

In the rear, there are more than a hundred dragon knights and warriors of the "Blood Scale Violent Legion".

Two huge white-scaled dragons, each forty meters long, were surrounded by these dragons and warriors, pulling a huge chariot that rumbled forward in the sky.

On the huge chariot was a royal flag of the Golden Empire, with giant dragons of various scales flying on the flag.

On the corners of the eaves of the huge chariot, there were two small bells hanging, which made a tinkling sound.

At the front of the chariot, two handsome Valyrian Kingsguards with purple hair and purple eyes were controlling the huge dragon in front.

These dragons, bred and hatched by the Valyrians combining druidic knowledge and magic, have better growth conditions in Ekania's world and grow much faster than in their original world.

The wisdom and spirituality of these dragons are far greater than their counterparts in the original world. Although these dragons still do not possess the magical abilities and heritage of the true dragons in the world of Ekania, they have gradually become powerful aerial weapons in the Golden Empire.

Because these magic dragons are gradually mutating under the influence of the real dragons of the Golden Empire and becoming magic dragons infected with dragon blood.

In front of the chariot's door, there stood four warriors wearing magical armor. They were the frost giant attendants of the White-Scaled King Gmot.

The slender dragon body of the White-Scaled King Gmot coiled in the chariot, with his head lazily resting on his paws, and occasionally licking the scales on his paws like those big cats.

This also makes the scales on the white dragon Gemot's front paws look more magical than the scales on other parts of his body.

The expression on Gmot's face looked very bored, because in his eyes and in the eyes of other dragons in the Gogmora dragon group, dragons were born to use their wings to soar in the sky and above the earth.

However, the whole empire took this invitation to visit very seriously, believing that the travel of the Dragon King of the empire should not be weak in momentum and should be dignified.

This convinced the giant dragons who loved to fly in the sky with their wings.

Therefore, under the work of those craftsmen, in a short period of time, they forged a huge chariot that relied on a simplified version of the Miser core as floating energy and was driven by the empire's magic dragon.

Among the white dragons patrolling beside the white dragon Gmot, several originated from the white dragon tribe in the Frost Plains, and the rest were giant dragons that were subdued by the Dragon Emperor of the Empire that night.

The White-Scaled King of the Empire has the power to control these white dragons, and naturally he also needs to assume the obligation to supervise, train and transform these white dragons.

Excluding the dragons killed by the Empire during the Night of Dragon Rage, there are a total of sixty-six dragons that survived and were restrained and punished by Emperor Karon Gogmora, and needed to serve in the Empire to atone for their sins.

Among them, white dragons are the majority and are restrained by the white dragon Gemot.

The good news is that these white dragon species are relatively weaker than other giant dragon species, so they not only survived, but also recovered from their injuries relatively quickly.

The dragon psychedelic potion created by the magic alchemist Teach was not wasted on these white dragons by the subsequent quick response forces, so that these white dragons have enough vitality at the moment. However, these dragons are not as good as the white dragon Gmot, which grew to 19 meters in length during adolescence. Even lying in the huge chariot, it looks like a mountain covered with ice and snow.

The flying dragon patrolling and guarding in front is also a powerful species in the mortal world, with an average body length of more than six meters, but next to the white dragon Gemot, it is like a chick on the ground compared to an eagle in the sky.

The journey through the skies above the cities in the Golden Empire was smooth sailing. After passing Gulfstream City, the southernmost city in the empire, even this seemingly powerful team began to attract some malicious and prying eyes.

This is the central border between the Golden Empire and the outskirts of the God-Forsaken Mountains. Although this area is also very large, the unblocking of the God-Forsaken Mountains has also caused this vast area to gradually become chaotic.

There have always been conflicts here, with monsters escaping from the God-forsaken Mountains and the "Red Mercy" regiment of the Golden Empire sweeping back and forth.

There are also many adventurers mixed in, trying to gain some benefits from this complicated place.

At worst, these adventurers can work as a team to capture giants and other rare and exotic animals that escaped from the God-Forsaken Mountains, and then bring them to the nearby trade market in Gulfstream City.

The current Gulfstream City is no longer as poor as it was before. It is now the southernmost main city of the Golden Empire. Although it cannot be compared with the prosperity of the Golden City, it is much better than the most prosperous cities of most small and medium-sized nobles.

With the stationing of the main battle group of "Red Mercy", the officials of Gulfstream City can let go and expand in all directions.

Four hundred miles east of Gulf Stream City, on the coast, is a stretch of steep cliffs.

It was not originally a suitable place to build a seaport, but for the craftsmen of the Imperial Infrastructure Administration, there was no problem that could not be solved.

Although high-energy gunpowder cannot occupy the mainstream in the empire's armament plan, it is undoubtedly an unparalleled weapon in civilian engineering.

Although the Empire's Infrastructure Department does not like to use its invention to fry fish like the goblin Boom, it is particularly keen on splitting mountains and rocks.

It seems that from such actions, one can gain the same power as those extraordinary people.

In order to complete the construction of the seaport here, the City of Gulfstream specially transferred the Undead Legion living in the Forest of Sin to the Imperial Central Council.

The empire's sleeping lich once again transformed into a contractor. While the empire's infrastructure teams worked during the day, these skeleton undead would haunt the construction site in the harbor at night.

Thanks to these undead legions who work tirelessly and without asking for pay, the seaport built by Gulfstream City has been open to traffic for several months.

Along the way from the seaport to the Gulf Stream City, villages and towns have been established due to the trade in the seaport and the branch river transportation of the canal.

Many merchant ships from the Golden Sea Route would also stop here, bringing in a lot of business.

On their way back, the ships would also replenish supplies here and buy some rare animals or elite slaves for the noble lords.

When these outsiders saw the procession appearing in the sky, they knew that some important figures from the Golden Empire were traveling, so they stopped to watch.

Because a team with such a configuration can be regarded as an elite team. With more than ten giant dragons roaming in the sky alone, they can be used as powerful weapons of war no matter where they are placed. They are flexible and powerful.

The most important thing is that these dragons that surrender to the Golden Empire will, under the influence of the empire's transformation, have a different order and obedience from other scattered dragons.

"It's really scary. The Golden Empire has conquered many dragons again. Unfortunately, I was not there at the time and didn't see that scene. It is said that all dragons are afraid of the Dragon Emperor of the Golden Empire."

"The Dragon Emperor just roared, and the dragons were so scared that they peed themselves."

Looking at the dragon shadow going away in the sky, people in Gulfstream City suddenly started to talk about it.

"Hey, you may not know this, but I had a distant relative who was there at the time. According to him, the Dragon Emperor of the Empire at that time ate a giant dragon that tried to escape alive in order to establish his authority! As a result, other dragons that were causing trouble no longer dared to escape."

"Ah? So horrible? I heard that the Dragon Emperor of the Empire tore several rebellious dragons in half, and the blood of those dragons is still lingering on the high tower of the King's Capital..."

"It seems to be like this. Hey, I also heard that the souls of those dead dragons are unwilling to return to the Styx. They turned into resentful dragon souls and cried every night in the capital. It's terrifying..."

Rumors in the market are always distorted. Everyone else told what they had heard, but the natives of Gulfstream City shook their heads, too lazy to listen to the chattering of these outsiders.

But there are also some people with special professions wandering around the market, mixing in the crowd and listening attentively to the discussions of these outsiders.

These special professionals look no different from other people, and their clothes are not special. Lost in the crowd, they are like a drop of water merging into the ocean.

Only these special professionals know that the members of the Raven Eye have never relied on appearance and strength as selection criteria, but instead look at a person's adaptability and degree of integration with the surrounding environment.

The empire never convicts people for speech. Even for the romantic scandals of the dragon lords and the dragon emperor, there has never been a precedent of anyone being convicted for them.

But not all words can be spread in public, such as speech that incites the people of the empire to reaction.

We walked and stopped along the way, crossed the low hills and jungles, and the towering mountains of the magical mountains were already in sight in the distance.

Although there were many ferocious monsters and beasts along the way, with more than ten white dragons swimming together, the gathered and naturally emitted dragon power had already caused most creatures to retreat on their own.

Only when we passed through a dense forest swamp did some unexpected situations occur.

The fierce dragon might was accompanied by a strong wind. A wild female black dragon rose into the air from her own territory and roared loudly, "What the hell dares to come and grab my territory?"

But a loud noise was heard in the sky, and the face of the White King's attendant, covered in the cold light of iron armor, appeared on the huge chariot, looking down at the wild black dragon.

"The Imperial Dragon King is on patrol. You must retreat and do not collide with the Dragon King's carriage!"

This attendant was tall, with cold eyes, and was wearing armor. He was full of vigor, just like a warrior under God, scolding the black dragon that had not yet figured out the situation.

The dozen or so white dragons accompanying in the sky also displayed their fierce dragon power at the same time and cast cold glances at the black dragon.

The female black dragon that once robbed the green dragon Ellie's nest suddenly shuddered. Although the other party did not specify which empire it was, even the female black dragon in the far south knew which country these visitors were from.

The female black dragon had heard the words "Golden Empire" so many times that her ears were almost callused when she robbed those adventurers on the coast hundreds of miles away.

Only the Golden Empire could gather so many giant dragons, just to act as guards for a Dragon King.

So the female black dragon dejectedly returned to her own swamp, revealing a pair of dark eyes, watching the team gradually going away.

"How majestic!" exclaimed the Black Dragon.
