Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 360: Drinking with Skulls
In the southern middle of the North, in the hilly plains far away from the city of Ella.

The damp and cold winter wind howled in front of the continuous camp fortresses, unable to penetrate this camp that seemed like a giant beast lying on the ground.

The joint envoys from the Farn Empire and some nobles in the north and south who were close to the Farn Empire stepped out of the huge teleportation magic gate and stood on a sturdy teleportation platform in the huge tent.

The entire platform is covered with intricate magic patterns, and there are huge energy-absorbing devices standing around it, allowing this top teleportation platform to remain in an instant-start operating state at all times.

Wet snowflakes began to fall, and these huge energy-absorbing devices evaporated into gurgling white mist.

Such a huge transmission platform can accommodate two carriages at the same time. It was built by the Golden Empire and the Northern Kings with massive resources. It is specially used to transport some important resources and important figures needed by the Northern Kings Alliance.

Therefore, the legionnaires guarding the teleportation platform in the military camp also appeared to be particularly tough and vigilant.

As the only magic teleportation space landmark allowed to operate near the space world occupied by the joint camp of the Northern Kings, even the legendary magician group of the Farn Empire must obtain the permission of the Northern Kings in advance to accurately construct a super-long-distance magic portal leading to this teleportation platform.

If the legendary magicians of the royal court of the Farn Empire wanted to use their own abilities to break through the magic landmark blockade of this space or use magic to sneak across, they would be discovered by the imperial magicians who controlled the space blockade at the first time.

The Empire's magician corps might also use a teleportation platform to anchor those who sneak across to a certain approximate direction, such as the depths of the Endless Abyss and the most dangerous plane in the Nine Hells, and throw these people in.

Therefore, the envoys of the Faen Empire and the nobles, led by the legendary wizard Leto, quickly stepped out of this seemingly peaceful transmission platform.

Life and death are controlled by him, which makes the envoys from the northern and southern nobles look a little nervous.

Only the leader of the delegation from the Farn Empire sniffed the scent of the dragon beast in the air, glanced at the legion soldiers who were quietly watching him and the statue of reverence lined up in the military camp, and frowned slightly.

Those dragon beasts, which have always been ferocious, violent and stupid, should have been howling and wreaking havoc aimlessly in the wilderness.

But just an ordinary hemp vine and reins were enough to restrain these dragon beasts, and they were led around the camp by the guarding legion soldiers.

The knowledge of taming dragon beasts is not uncommon in the Farn Empire. This knowledge is only basic common sense for a hegemonic empire that can open up planes and plunder resources.

But the Golden Empire and the Northern Kings have a natural advantage in taming these wild beasts. These dragon beasts do not seem to be tamed, but submit out of their own instincts.

The pupils of every dragon beast are filled with original wildness, which also means that the combat effectiveness of these dragon beasts far exceeds that of the dragon beast legions that are disciplined by various taming rules.

The envoys of the Farn Empire even felt that if it were not for the Dragon Emperor Gogmora's desire to establish a civilized empire, he would be able to dominate the entire Ekania world simply by controlling monsters and beasts.

After all, dragons are born kings of beasts and the natural supreme over most monsters.

Although intelligent races such as humans are the unshakable overlords in the world of Ekania, their numbers are far less than those of monsters and beasts.

There are also the imperial heavy artillery built by the Golden Empire, each black barrel emitting a strong smell of high-energy gunpowder.

The envoys of the Farn Empire knew that this was a special military product of the Golden Empire. This special military product not only had good sales in the countries throughout the northern continent, but had even been exported to the central continent.

Among the heavy artillery seized from the Marino Line that was breached by the kings, more than a hundred of them were ordered from the Golden Empire.

Several countries in the central continent have placed orders with the Golden Empire, and even the Fan Empire has ordered several high-energy heavy artillery from the Golden Empire through some channel.

The technology of such heavy artillery is not very sophisticated, and the craftsmen of the Faen Empire can easily imitate it. However, the production capacity of the Faen Empire is far less than that of the Golden Empire.

The Faen Empire, which is at the top of the magic level, can export advanced magic cannons to other countries, but these magic cannons are expensive and have average production capacity.

Some ordinary small countries cannot even equip their armies with a complete long-range heavy artillery attack team.

Although the Golden Empire's heavy artillery is not as powerful as the magic cannon, the high-energy gunpowder shells can also cause the same lethality as some magic. Although it takes several heavy artillery to be comparable to one magic cannon, after the Golden Empire started the magic industrialization, its production capacity is really too terrifying.

The civilizations of Ekania's world may still not know enough about Charon Gogmora, the dragon who possesses a soul that makes the empire he rules like his own emperor.

Although the Golden Empire has been developing in a low-key manner before, the goal of the entire empire's development is not just to occupy a place in the northern border of Ekania.

The goal of the development of the entire empire is to move towards a country that can compete with or even overwhelm all the countries and civilizations in the world of Ekania.

The ancient history of the Ekania world is filled with intricate hatreds and conflicts of interest, as well as alliances and betrayals between the great nobles, slave owners, kings and emperors.

The struggle for faith among the gods also took place in Ekania's history, but no civilization played the same role as the Golden Empire.

The Golden Empire is the minion of the ancestral red dragon Kalon Gogmora and the embodiment of his will, so the empire is destined to become the ultimate tester and cleaner of civilization, just like the ancestral red dragon.

Perhaps this attitude seems a bit condescending to outsiders, but even the envoys who came here from the Farn Empire could feel that indescribable feeling.

The legionnaires of the Golden Empire seemed to be influenced by their rulers. It was obvious that the war was started by the Golden Empire and the kings, but it seemed that the other countries were the ones challenging them.

That is not arrogance that is revealed outwardly, but a kind of nobility that rises from the bottom of the heart.

The envoy of the Fan Empire sighed in his heart. As the head of the diplomatic corps of the Hegemonic Empire, he was no ordinary mediocre person.

In his eyes, the Golden Empire and the Alliance of Kings were no longer something that the Farn Empire could destroy.

Yes, destroy rather than defeat! Just like those people on the Grand Islands, one of the lands ruled by the Faen Empire.

Even though the power of the Faan Empire was enough to crush all the people on the Gran Islands into pieces and kill them all, those people still refused to submit to the rule of the Faan Empire and launched countless rebellions over thousands of years. Hundreds of heroes from the Gran Islands have been recorded in history.

Perhaps the Farn Empire can defeat the Golden Empire, but the Farn Empire's envoys feel that some things displayed by the Golden Empire's legion soldiers can never be eliminated.

The messengers followed the leading soldiers forward and passed through many checkpoints.

In the eyes of the envoys and noble envoys of the Farn Empire, those armored lizardmen legions were like creatures disguised as intelligent species, full of savagery and blood, but with iron-like order.

There are also those gray dwarf clans from the Underdark that have begun to be reorganized by the Empire, and they are filled with the worship of primitive violence in their bones.

But such dangerous goods that are extremely prone to explosions are staying obediently in the big melting pot of the Golden Empire, ruled by more powerful violence and firmer will, which is extremely terrifying.

Galea was the guardian dragon that the previous kings of the Faen Empire had signed a protection contract with. He was born into a blue dragon family in the great desert of the central continent.

As a mature blue dragon in the Blue Dragon Family, it must take on the responsibility of being the lubricant that maintains the Blue Dragon Family in the Central Continent. This is one of the reasons why the Blue Dragon Family has become the dominant family in the Great Desert.

But in Galea's eyes, the real dragons and dragon people of the Golden Empire are also extremely terrifying.

This is not about the strength of those true dragons and dragon-blooded creatures. The power of most true dragons and dragon-men is not worth mentioning in the eyes of this middle-aged blue dragon.

But these true dragons can be called true celestial dragons in the Golden Empire, but they have certain characteristics that the blue dragon Galia cannot learn.

It seems that the nobility of those real dragons and dragon people is not brought by strength and power, but by the "incomprehensible and ineffable" real dragon spirit that they possess.

The blue dragon Gailia also knew about the Golden Empire, and there were even three young blue dragons in the family who joined the Golden Empire.

This is not surprising. As long as the dragon uses its wisdom, it can do everything that the nobles can and will do.

But hearing about it is one thing, and experiencing it in person is another.

The blue dragon Galia also heard that there had been a dispute in the Southern Good Dragon Alliance recently. The reason was that the adult silver dragon Chris Tiana and the two bronze dragons Gross and Natarelli were vigorously promoting the ideas of the Golden Empire in the base camp of the Good Dragons in the southern continent.

This caused some divisions in the Alliance of Good Dragons, as many silver and bronze dragons gradually turned to the adult silver dragon Chrissie Tiana and the two bronze dragons.

Many gold dragons and gem dragons in the Southern Good Dragon Alliance are very dissatisfied with the actions of the adult silver dragon Chris Tiana, and even want to convene a "Dragon Crown Council" to target this adult silver dragon and the two bronze dragons.

Especially with the death of the legendary golden dragon Nasuye, one of the leaders of the Good Dragon Alliance, and the ancestral golden dragon Erickson, and the imprisonment of the parents of the ancestral golden dragon Obilash, the leaders of the Good Dragon Alliance all wanted to face the Golden Empire in the North with a tough attitude.

They even went so far as to awaken the sleeping ancient dragons in an attempt to re-establish the suppressive position of metal dragons in front of the kingdom of colorful dragons.

You see, there are people like this in every world. These metal dragons did not try to show their fangs to the humans and other intelligent races that dominated the Ekania world, but they did not want the color dragons that were once suppressed by the metal dragons to rise up as a large race of color dragons.

However, with the awakening of an ancient silver dragon, the grandmother of the adult silver dragon Chris Tiana, who was sleeping in the Misty Mountains of the Silver Dragon Clan, the matter eventually came to nothing.

Although the Golden Dragon is the favorite of the Platinum Dragon God among the metallic dragons, it is born with a gifted bloodline that is superior to all other metallic dragons, and therefore it is easy for it to become the co-leader of the metallic dragon clan.

But this does not mean that the golden dragon has the power to rule other metal dragons at will. The ancient golden dragon is scary enough, but the ancient silver dragon is not a vegetarian and grows to the ancient dragon stage.

The grandmother of the Silver Dragon Valkyrie Chris Tiana, the ancient silver dragon even spoke openly in the south.

Before Chris Tiana does anything to harm the metal dragon, anyone who dares to target Chris Tiana will be visited by this ancient silver dragon in person.

Gu Yinlong also said that suppressing the spread of normal ideas and concepts is something only an absolute tyrant can do.

Metal dragons do not need a tyrant to rule and lead them. The silver dragon clan can allow a true king to appear, but will never accept the rule of a tyrant.

As a result, the metal dragons in the south stopped their activities, and even the activities targeting the Golden Empire gradually disappeared on the water.

The mature blue dragon Gaelia only simply touched the surface and already understood how terrible the influence of the Golden Empire was on a giant dragon.

Galea now felt that the adult silver dragon and two bronze dragons that had caused a stir in the southern good dragon base might not have been "corrupted" by bewitching words, but were in a state of being completely changed by the infection of civilization.

Just like the copper dragon Alfred in front of him.

"Noble Dragon King, honorable Minister of Imperial Diplomacy, I salute you in the name of the Farn Empire's envoys and the southern nobles."

Zalea, the head of the Faen Empire's envoy delegation, placed his hand on his chest and bowed.

One by one, the members of the delegation bowed and introduced themselves to Alfred, the copper dragon who had transformed into a humanoid form and wore glasses and looked like a human.

However, only the envoys from the Farn Empire received a polite response from the copper dragon. The other envoys from the northern and southern nobles were ignored by the copper dragon.

However, after being ignored, the envoys of the southern nobles did not dare to show anger on their faces.

After realizing the power of the Golden Empire, no noble dared to maintain any so-called arrogant attitude in front of the dragon, and could only endure it in silence.

The mature blue dragon Gaelia also nodded and saluted the giant dragon, which was quite amazing.

In the dragon inheritance order based on strength and bloodline, the mature blue dragon is far nobler than the copper dragon, but in reality, it is the mature blue dragon that needs to take the initiative to salute.

"Emperor Gogmora and the kings are at the banquet. This is a rare moment for the kings to gather together. Although it is not in accordance with etiquette, please follow me!"

The copper dragon Alfred led the envoys into the noisy royal tent and then took his seat leisurely.

However, the envoys from the Faen Empire and the southern nobles immediately stopped in the wide aisle in the middle of the royal tent. It was not because the empire and the kings were lacking in etiquette, but because the situation they were facing was too terrifying.

The king's tent was huge, but it was not big enough to accommodate the dragons.

The dragons that had made contributions in the war transformed into humanoid forms and sat at the table. Their pairs of sparkling pupils looked at the envoys, like golden lamps lit in the king's tent.

Even the blazing bonfires all around could not compare to the gleam in the dragons' eyes.

Not to mention these humans, even the middle-aged blue dragon Gaelia, who was also a giant dragon, felt a sudden shock in his heart at this moment, as if he was hunting a ferocious monster for the first time when he was a child.

Even the looks that the monsters' dependent generals and the empire's humanoid commanders gave to the envoys were like two sharp knives piercing out of their pupils, extremely captivating.

Even the eyes of the female humans and elves were like iron swords covered with dew, shining with a cold light.

What frightened the envoys even more was the heads of great nobles placed on a table in the center of the royal tent. Among them were many severed heads from the Imperial Assassin Court, such as the Gray Dragon Naka and Nalo. It was as if these kings and their families were drinking with the heads of their enemies.

Although Zalea, the leader of the Faen Empire's envoys, had an unusually good mental state, he still felt that his voice sounded like the sound of rough steel when he laughed dryly.

"Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor of the Golden Empire, the noble kings and loyal soldiers are truly heroic. Drinking with the skulls of your opponents is truly a style that I admire!"

Even though Zalea was somewhat frightened, he calmly described those southern nobles who were once the enemies that the Golden Empire and the kings wanted to eliminate as opponents, subconsciously testing the kings' attitudes. This showed the outstanding qualities of this young man.

The middle-aged blue dragon Gaelia couldn't help but curl his lips slightly when he heard this. If other races, other countries, or other dragon families behaved like this, the envoys and nobles of the Farn Empire would definitely scorn it - this is the behavior of barbarians!

But as the emperor of the Golden Empire once said, the order of the world is established by the will of the strong, and civilization is shaped and defined by the strong.

The behavior of the Golden Empire and its kings, after demonstrating their power, will also be said to be representative of heroic spirit.

However, the royal tent that was noisy just now was now eerily quiet. Even the middle-aged blue dragon Gaelia subconsciously lowered his breathing.

The Color Dragons are brave, sure, but they are facing several legendary kings.

The rest of the kings sat at the same table with the True Dragon Emperor, Kalon Gogmora, on both sides of the Dragon Emperor.

But no king looked at the envoys from the Faen Empire and the southern nobles.

Anudale, the majestic king of the drow elves, was drinking by himself, while Morgayes, the giant king of the God-Forsaken Mountains, was chewing his huge leg bones without any care, making a crackling sound.

The monarch of the Hobis Empire and the Orc King sneered as they looked at the skulls of the great nobles in the center of the royal tent.

Before the Dragon Emperor spoke, these kings didn't even bother to pay attention to the envoys from the Overlord Empire from the Central Continent.

These made the show unable to help but linger on the Real Dragon Emperor who was lazily leaning on a simple seat.

A tiger walks as if it is sick, an eagle stands as if it is asleep. The lazy behavior of this True Dragon Emperor is just like a sleeping dragon, with all its wings, claws, fangs and majesty retracted.

But just like some ordinary officials in the world, they can develop a strong momentum under the aura of power and status, and have a strong aura like a filter.

In the eyes of these envoys, every simple move of this ancestral red dragon exuded the same majesty as an emperor, making people unable to help but look up at it.

However, the existence of the Dragon Emperor, Kalon Gogmora, was viewed differently by these envoys.

In the eyes of the middle-aged blue dragon Gaelia, the image of Kalon Gogmora was that of an ancestral red dragon with unparalleled elegance and majesty, coiled on the seat, looking down at himself and the envoys.

The chief envoy of the Faen Empire, Zaliya, had already believed in his heart that Kalon Gogmora was a king like the regent of the Faen Empire, so in his eyes, he saw a young emperor wearing a crown, with a gaze like the abyss, yet awe-inspiring.

But in the eyes of the envoys of the Southern Noble Alliance, the image of Kalon Gogmora was that of a completely ferocious evil dragon.

Only the legendary spellcaster Leto, when facing this ancestral red dragon at close range, could see the true Dragon Emperor in his dragonborn form after a brief illusion.

Although the overall combat power of the mature blue dragon Galia is definitely stronger than that of this spellcaster who has just entered the legendary realm, he cannot see the true form of the ancestral red dragon.

Only the legendary spellcaster Leto could realize what kind of power this is.

Among the legends, basically all the legends with strong mental power are able to master the means of using their own consciousness to distort and cover other creatures that are inferior to themselves, but that requires active guidance.

But the mere passive existence of this ancestral red dragon is enough to affect a legendary spellcaster like Leto. Such a trait cannot but make Leto frightened.

"With such a strong will and great spiritual power, wouldn't it be possible for others to become whatever they want them to be, and to think the world as they want them to think?"

The legendary spellcaster Leto suddenly remembered the rumors that once circulated in the market. It was said that the True Dragon Emperor of the Golden Empire was particularly fond of using advanced complete transformation spells to punish criminals who violated the laws of the empire.

"If I were to face its advanced complete transformation, I wonder if I could withstand such a distortion of my entire worldview and the reshaping of my inner soul?"

Leto suddenly felt that even if he was given a floating wizard tower, he didn't seem to want to face this dragon!
