Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 343 Gold dominates, the Eight Kings divide the Northern Continent!

"If you don't choose me, then you must face me!"

When these words came out of the mouth of Karon Gogmora, they did not sound arrogant or bluffing. Instead, the other kings felt the powerful confidence of the dragon emperor before them.

That is a strong person who recognizes himself and has the confidence and courage to overcome all difficulties and obstacles. The inner belief is so strong that it is indestructible.

It is as if these kings have similar self-focus in their hearts.

When a person's inner heart is strong enough to match his strength, when others blame you, you will feel the hurt of others.

When others try to please you, you will see their emotional need for recognition.

In the eyes of such strong people, all relationships in the world can actually be explained by a huge projection of fear. External factors cannot affect their inner thoughts or shake their will.

The other kings were not easily angered by Kalon Gogmora's words because they were measuring the strength of the Golden Empire.

The Golden Empire held this grand event to showcase part of its strength in front of these kings, just like a military parade, demonstrating its own strength.

The multi-armed giant Moges may not be able to understand certain aspects of the Golden Empire's strength assessment, but in front of the other true monarchs, he has to pay great attention to it.

Putting aside the fighting spirit and strength of the Golden Empire warriors, the heavy armor worn and weapons held by those legion warriors demonstrated the horror of the Golden Empire's large-scale productivity.

Even in the hilly and mountain dwarven kingdoms that specialize in crafting weapons and armor, it would take at least several decades of accumulation to equip so many warriors.

The Golden Empire now claims to have a hundred thousand armored men, but the entire Kingdom of Dragons has only been around for less than twenty years from its founding to the present.

If the so-called 100,000 armored men were the same as the legionnaires arrayed on the island, it would mean an extremely terrifying generational gap in productivity, and how unfathomable the acquisition and transformation of resources would be.

There are also various armaments displayed by the Golden Empire, such as magic heavy artillery and alchemical magic armored golems, etc. These weapons use the least resources and low-intensity energy reactions to achieve powerful attack forms.

It not only means a problem of energy conversion efficiency, it also means that the Golden Empire's magic technology has developed to an extremely high level.

Although the other kingdoms also have magical civilization and knowledge, the gap between them and the Golden Empire cannot be considered a civilization gap, but it can be summarized as a huge generation gap in civilization productivity.

This is something that is difficult to imagine for the civilizations in the world of Ekania, because the advancement and development of civilization technology is completely different from the accumulation of wealth and the growth of military power.

A country can quickly accumulate wealth through conquest, harvesting, and plundering, and can expand its military power by vigorously recruiting warriors to form legions.

But to expect to achieve progress and achievements in magic, civilization, technology, and knowledge in just over ten years is nothing short of a fantasy.

Because these things cannot be achieved overnight, they require a long period of accumulation. Only after climbing one step can you see the scenery on the next step.

Even if it was a country that had been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years, it was only through continuous accumulation that it could reach this level. Once the nobles and rulers who monopolized knowledge and technology declined, the previous accumulation would naturally be lost.

This is what Ragnar Hagrid, the King of the Frost Giants, feels most deeply at the moment. Compared to the Golden Empire, it is not a problem for the Frost Giants' kingdom to be called a large tribe.

The orc king, Porcel Ryan, weighed the matter for a while, and then thought of the Golden Empire Dragon Kings and the Emperor's Guards whom he met before climbing the cliff.

In many legends, every guard of the emperor and the dragon king possesses powerful innate strength and unparalleled potential, and every warrior can serve as a weapon to break through cities and destroy formations in a legion.

Those Storm Giants and Golden Guards are indeed a force that even these kings covet.

But before Porsel Ryan could speak, the monarch of the Hobis Empire said calmly: "Karon Gogmora, although you are the top ancestral dragon in the world, with your strength and the power of the Golden Empire, you are not qualified to say such words!"

"If I don't go the same way as you, I will have to face your attacks. None of the kings present here were brought up by intimidation. Am I weaker than you, the ancestral dragon? How can my empire and my legion be afraid of your warriors?"

This middle-aged emperor has an ordinary appearance, but the confidence in his eyes is exactly the same as that of his ancestor the Red Dragon; it is the confidence of a strong man.

Charal Caesar was not angry because of the dragon's words. As an emperor, he was born with the knowledge that he should lay the groundwork for his future voice before things were concluded.

If you look at a king only from his appearance, you will never be able to understand his intentions.

Moreover, no supreme being who holds power would willingly be suppressed by the momentum of others.

"Your Majesty Charal is right," said Porsel Ryan, the lion king with white-brown mane. "Although the Golden Empire is powerful, it is nothing but wishful thinking to launch a war against any other country when it is surrounded on all sides."

"Besides, the Orc Kingdom is far away overseas, with the entire ocean as a natural barrier."

Porsel Ryan chuckled and said, "The 100,000-strong army of the Orc Kingdom in the past is only a small part of the Orcs' strength. The Golden Empire will only end in defeat if it wants to set foot on the Orcs' territory."

The multi-armed giant Moges is not good at so-called politics, but he is a truly powerful warrior.

He laughed loudly and said, "How can the power of the ancestral dragon scare me? To be honest, if you and I were not both overlords with our own forces, your ability alone would not be able to resist my power."

"So what if we blocked the Dragon God's divine punishment? A truly strong person will never be afraid of those gods. In the eyes of a strong person, those gods are just creatures that are one step faster than us."

"What's more, there are hundreds of thousands of mountains in the God-Forsaken Mountains. How many warriors in your Golden Empire can cross them?"

The words of the multi-armed giant Moges were full of heroism. Although his words were directed at the Golden Empire, even Kalon Gogmora showed a look of approval towards this giant.

In fact, the words of the multi-armed giant are not exaggerated. Although real dragons are famous for their strength, in terms of strength alone, dragons are not the most powerful creatures in the world.

In the mortal material world, in most cases, powerful giants standing on the earth can overcome the power of dragons.

If placed in the astral realm, a large number of creatures that originated from high-level demons, such as demon lords, ancient titans, divine evil, etc., can surpass the power of a true dragon.

The power of a true dragon lies not only in the combination of strength and spellcasting ability, but also in all-round integration. Especially when it grows to the later stage and is able to control its own blood desire with its own wisdom, it will reach its peak state.

Other creatures all have some intangible disadvantages to a greater or lesser extent, just like the ancient Titans, although powerful, they do not have the innate ability to ascend to the sky.

Although the multi-armed giant Moges in front of him spoke rudely and directly, the energy level fluctuations detected by Karon Gogmora with mental magic also demonstrated the strength of this giant.

Mogyes, the King of the Multi-Armed Giants: Challenge Level 28!

This was the king who was challenging the highest level among all the kings present. The aura of Charal Caesar, the monarch of the Hobis Empire, was dark, fluctuating and flickering, but in Kalon Gogmora's eyes he could also see the approximate range of the energy fluctuations.

Charal Cesar: Challenge Level 22-26!

The orc king, Poseidon Lion, seemed somewhat unfathomable. Even with Karon Gogmora's mind detection spell, he was unable to detect the approximate energy fluctuations of the orc king.

It was as if all the energy fluctuations of this orc did not exist.

But with Karon's current magical attainments, he is unable to detect the fluctuations in the power level of this orc. There is only one explanation, except that the level of this orc king himself is far superior to Karon Gogmora.

Porsel Ryan has at least one high-level treasure on him.

No king is weak, although at the level above legend, the power level is mostly just a reference in the eyes of those strong ones.

The true victory or defeat can only be determined by a real face-to-face collision, but the advantage of power level should not be underestimated, because in the hands of these beings, even a slight advantage can turn into a snowball-like trend.

However, before these kings' words received a response from Kalon Gogmora, they received a response from the elven king Anudale who had been sitting quietly.

"Well, let me remind you that the Dark Elves have signed an everlasting alliance with the Golden Empire. This means that once you become an enemy of the Golden Empire, you will not only have to face the warriors of the Golden Empire, but also the legions of the Dark Elves."

Anuda held up a glass of fine red wine, gracefully saluted the other kings one by one, and spoke slowly.

"Oh, I'm so rude." The beautiful face of the Lord of the Dark Nest, Sarah, also showed a charming smile. She covered the corner of her mouth with a white and slender hand and smiled pretentiously: "Perhaps you still need to face the Dark Nest, gentlemen!"

Ragnar Hagrid, the King of the Frost Giants, swallowed the roast meat in his mouth and added in a muffled voice, "There should be me too!"

As these kings finished speaking, the air in the entire royal tent suddenly froze, and even the smiling Elf King's face showed a heavy look.

Not only did the maids feel as if their tense bodies were fixed by the amber-like air, but even the guards following the other kings felt as if their bodies were buried in a deep pit, as if immersed in the deep sea.

The invisible pressure made the breathing of these attendants seem particularly clear.

The action of Kalon Gogmora broke the heavy pressure.

The scarlet and translucent body with dragon magic patterns was brighter than the blazing bonfire in the royal tent. The ferocious claws and four pairs of bone horns showed its dragon characteristics, casting a hideous and solemn shadow against the backdrop of the bonfire in the royal tent.

Both communication and negotiation require skills. Kalon Gogmora took the initiative just to show his determination to lift the roof, so that the other kings would be more receptive to his intention to open the window.

He suppressed the momentum of the other kings and used the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads as a stick so that the kings could better enjoy the carrots behind the stick.

This step cannot be reversed, the effect and meaning are completely different.

As the focus of all attention in the royal tent, Kalon Gogmora maintained his original calm demeanor and looked at the still unruly multi-armed giant Mogyes.

"Morges, how many years have you spent in this mortal world?"

Not only the other kings were stunned, but even Moges was slightly stunned, and he answered subconsciously: "Me? As a long-lived species like a giant, who would care about their age? As a powerful person above the legend, who would remember how many years they have lived?"

"I once accidentally saw the true face of the Supreme Titan. It was probably hundreds of years ago."

So Caron nodded and chuckled, "Yes, you have spent at least hundreds of years in this world, but from my childhood to now, only a few decades have passed!"

No one could fail to understand the Dragon Emperor's hidden meaning, even the short-lived beastman king and human monarch changed their expressions. These short-lived species were able to gain such powerful abilities in just a few decades, of course, because they were talented, but also because these short-lived species needed less time to transform than dragons.

The power and essence that orcs and humans are naturally able to bear are not as good as dragons, so they are weaker than dragons, but they can also make progress faster than dragons.

And the red dragon before us has achieved such an achievement in just a few decades, which is a miracle no matter in which dimension of the world.

So what kind of achievements will this red dragon make in the future?

Perhaps many legendary strong men stay on the threshold of reaching their destiny for hundreds or thousands of years and still find it difficult to break through that threshold, just like the multi-armed giant Moges.

Although this giant's power level is higher than that of the other kings, he has never stepped into the threshold of that hall.

For example, the Dark Elf King Anudale is a Dark Elf king who appears only once in several eras. Until now, he has only been glimpsing the unattainable scenery at the threshold of legendary destiny.

But the ancestral red dragon is different. He is a giant dragon with the blood of ancestral dragons and is naturally not subject to such limitations.

Whether the legendary road is smooth or not does not affect the growth of this dragon.

Although the multi-armed giant Moges has outstanding talents, he cannot compare with the real ancient Titans and does not have the same growth potential as the ancient Titans.

This is also the reason why the Giant King once wanted to deprive the Storm Titan of his power and authority.

Kalon Gogmora saw that the multi-armed giant Mogeyes was temporarily suppressed by his words and the other kings' faces changed slightly. Then he stretched out his claws, pointed at the Northern Continent geography sand table in the center of the royal tent, and chuckled, "Kings, look!"

"The most fertile and rich land and the most intelligent creatures in the entire northern continent of Ekania are occupied by the nobles in the south."

"The fertile land occupied by those cowardly and greedy nobles is many times larger than the Hobbes Empire and the Golden Empire combined."

"Is it because they are nobler than us? Is it because they are more powerful than us?"

Kalon Gogmora glanced at all the kings in the royal tent who were concentrating and said with a smile: "No, it is only because they represent a kind of order and a kind of rule that these scum are allowed to occupy such a beautiful place safely."

"Break the rules, shape the rules, and become the rules," Karon Gogmora opened his arms and smiled as if he was holding the mountains and seas in his arms. "I invited the kings to come here to share the world with you. The Golden Empire and the kings will share half of the world and rule the North together!"

The phrase "sharing the world" is unparalleled in its power to infect talents, and it is no less effective for the kings.

Why? Because the temptation is too great.

The gazes of the kings became intense and dangerous. Even the King of Elves noticed that his breathing was slowly getting heavier. His quiet heart could not help but beat like a flying bird under the nourishment of hot blood.

Anyone who can say such words must be extraordinary. This requires not only vision, but also prestige and credibility, which Kalon Gogmora has in abundance.

In the brief and heated silence, the first to speak was the orc king, Porsel Lion.

"We have no doubt that if the kings unite, they will be able to march across the northern land and wipe out all the southern nobles, but what will happen after they wipe out the nobles?"

Porsel Ryan looked at the True Dragon Emperor with a sharp gaze and asked, "The land occupied by the Southern Noble Alliance is vast enough, but the ambitions of the kings are even greater than these lands. Once the distribution of interests is a problem, war will break out among the kings!"

The orc king couldn't help but take it seriously, because the entire orc kingdom had been waiting for such an opportunity for countless years.

Without the forces of order like the Golden Empire to open up a gap, the orcs would face hostility and siege from all civilized forces once they set foot on the main continent.

But as long as it formed a deep alliance with the Golden Empire, the Orc Kingdom would naturally gain the excuse and power to start a war.

The Emperor of the Hobis Empire, Charal Caesar, also spoke up: "Then who will lead the entire alliance of kings? Although the Golden Empire is the initiator of hosting the alliance, it is impossible for the kings to willingly lead the way for you!"

The multi-armed giant Mogyes was also thinking. Although the God-Forsaken Mountains had a large territory, the land occupied by the southern nobles was a relatively mature civilization that had been developed. In comparison, the God-Forsaken Mountains were nothing.

Not every country can rise in the wilderness like the Golden Empire, and the rich land in the south is also very attractive to the multi-armed giants.

Even the King of the Frost Giants and several other kings who had already established an alliance with the Golden Empire looked at Karon Gogmora. No one would not care about the distribution of benefits.

The dragon kings of the Golden Empire also had sparkling eyes. The thirst for land and pursuit of wealth were the source of desire that every dragon could not easily get rid of.

Kalon Gogmora laughed and said, "If the kings and the Golden Empire work together to wipe out the southern nobles, the Golden Empire will not take any of the land occupied by the southern nobles, and will give it all to the kings."

The dark golden light in his blood-red pupils swept across the shocked faces of every king, and he said in a resounding voice: "In this case, can the Golden Empire become the leader of the Alliance of Kings? In this case, can the Golden Empire become the sword-wielder of the Alliance of Kings!"

Every king showed a look of deep disbelief, even the King of Elves.

What a crazy idea this is, an indescribable idea that makes every king feel that everything before their eyes is like a false dream.

But no king is a mediocre person, and a mediocre person cannot stand here.

They seemed to understand in their hearts that the True Dragon Emperor before them had more ambitious goals.

"When a person has a higher mountain in his heart that he wants to climb, he will not care about the quagmire under his feet!" The orc king, Porcel Ryan, asked word by word: "I am very curious,"

"I am very curious about your true intentions and goals as the Dragon Emperor."

"I also don't believe that you did this just to wipe out those southern nobles and just to become the leader of the Alliance of Kings!" The emperor of the Hobis Empire also spoke slowly.

"Your promise is beautiful, so beautiful that it makes me feel it is a little false," said the multi-armed giant Moges.

"Bigger goals? Of course there are," Kalon Gogmora slowly stood up from his throne and glanced at the kings.

"In the infinite era of the Ekania world, there are many forces, races and civilizations, fighting, killing, plotting and confronting each other. I am tired of it."

Caron paced beside the kings, holding a wine glass, and his voice echoed in the royal tent.

"What are they fighting for? For living space, for power, for wealth, for strength, for status."

"But why do they all focus their tiny gazes on this destined limited piece of land beneath their feet?"

Kalon's voice became excited, and he laughed: "All the kings present here are overlords who dominate a region, and all of them are wise kings. Why do you have to fight with those vulgar and short-sighted people in this muddy swamp?"

The eyes of the kings became more intense, not only because of the meaning of the True Dragon Emperor's words, but also because of the praise from Kalon Gogmora.

How can ordinary praise compare to that of a famous emperor?

"Whether we are elves, orcs, dragons, or humans, we all once had a brilliant civilization and a glorious history."

"Are we, the later kings, inferior to the kings in history?" Kalon Gogmora said in a deep voice: "I don't think so."

“Kings, join me in breaking these boring rules and shaping our own rules of order,” Caron said with a smile, “What we should pursue is a higher peak, a world beyond the world of Ekania. We, the latecomers, will far surpass those who came before us!”

"Existences like ours should not be restricted. The immortality, strength, and power that the mundane world pursues are just insignificant spoils of war along the way."

"Not only will I divide the entire Northern Continent among the kings, I will also open the plane world opened up by the Golden Empire to the kings, allowing the kings to move in and share this scenery."

The kings all stood up, not only for the picture painted by the giant dragon, but also for the unprecedented courage and vision of the Dragon Emperor.

"You don't have the wisdom, knowledge and technology to develop across borders, but I do. You don't have the determination to unite, but I do. You don't have the idea of putting aside past grudges, but I do."

Caron opened his arms, raised his wine glass high, and his deep words echoed in the hearts of every king.

"Come, kings, join me in turning the world upside down and accomplishing the great feat of changing the world."

"Let all the seas and mountains, and the complicated world, be under our will, and share the cold and heat from now on!"

The covenant of kings, from noon to sunset.

The people watching had no idea how the alliance of kings would go, but they were still waiting for it to end.

It was not until the sun set in the sky that the open royal tent appeared in the eyes of the onlookers.

They could not hear the words of the kings, but they heard the thunderous sound of cannons.

On the isolated island, the cannons bloom with a scenery more gorgeous than the sunset.

Amid the roar of heavy artillery, the thunderous promises of thousands of soldiers resounded between heaven and earth. The sound was ear-catching, shattering the clouds in the sky and shocking the hearts of all the onlookers around.

"The Golden Emperor's order is issued today by all the kings. If anyone disobeys, all the kings will attack him together!"

……

In the summer of the fifteenth year of the Dragon Calendar, the multi-armed giant Mogyes, the king of the God-Forsaken Mountains, Porcel Ryan, the monarch of the Orc Kingdom, Charal Caesar, the emperor of the Hobbes Empire, Anundalel, the king of the dark elves, and Sharos, the lord of the Dark Nest.

Ragnar Hagrid, King of the Frost Giants, and Arwen, King of the Elven Kingdom, met with Emperor Caron Gogmora of the Golden Empire on the North Sea Island, reached an agreement of eight kings, with the Golden Empire as the leader of the alliance, and jointly issued a war declaration to the Southern Noble Alliance of the Northern Continent.

No one cared how the Emperor of the Golden Empire persuaded the Elf Kingdom and the Dark Elves to put aside their disputes. All the kingdoms and forces in the entire northern continent and even the entire civilization of Ekania knew it clearly.

The Golden Empire in the north ushered in a new era, and the Golden Empire was the first hegemonic empire in the new era.
