Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 561 The Dragon Emperor's Ten Deadly Sins
"Karon Gogmora, the emperor of the Northern Empire and master of the Northern Dragons, is a creature of unparalleled evil, the most malevolent being in Ekania for thousands of years,"

"Even the great demons of the abyss and the great devils of hell cannot compare to the darkness and evil of this red dragon!"

"His evil nature is hidden beneath his outward brilliance, concealed by the prestige he forcibly seized,"

"It is under the leadership of that most evil red dragon that the Golden Empire uses cognitive warfare to disguise and poison the thoughts and will of all dragons in the world with the universal values ​​of the Golden Empire!"

"He, along with the Northern Empire and the dragons of the North, intend to make the will of all dragons in the world their puppets!"

Within the vast and majestic Southern Sanctuary, the voice of the ancient golden dragon Garo Ramsay echoed repeatedly, its deep, dragon-like tone reverberating in the ears of all the dragons.

The passage of time has caused the vertical pupils of this ancient golden dragon to no longer shine as brightly as when it was young. Instead, they have become as subdued and restrained as the golden scales covering its body.

The ancient golden dragon's whiskers also had a bluish-white tinge, making them look like platinum-gold whiskers.

However, unlike many mortal creatures, the older a dragon is, the more powerful its majesty becomes, and the more prominent its deterrent and oppressive force becomes.

Unlike humans, dragons do not rely on the prestige they earned in their youth to deter potential threats when they grow old. Dragons, on the other hand, truly represent their power and authority.

Therefore, even Illum Fuller, who is also an ancient dragon, must listen carefully to what this ancient golden dragon is saying.

Although the transfer of power by Illum Fuller was partly due to this ancient silver dragon, he did not want to lose the independence of the Southern Good Dragon Alliance, nor did he want to stand against the ancient gold dragon Gallo Ramsey.

However, the development of the world's situation and the trajectory of the operation of all things are not subject to the subjective will of a single living being.

If the world's situation and the trajectory of all things were to be determined by the will of a certain being, it would not be a being like the ancient silver dragon Illum Fuller, but rather a being like the master of the Northern Empire, Karon Gogmora.

Rather, they are those legendary beings destined to control an entire world, those powerful demigods who roam the entire world and even the starry universe, and those gods who reside high above the mortal realm.

So even if it wasn't of his own free will, since this ancient silver dragon returned to the south from the Golden Empire, he had to start planning for the future of the entire southern good dragon race.

Therefore, today's referendum of the Southern Good Dragon Alliance is a peaceful evolution method devised by this ancient silver dragon.

Because this matter concerns the trajectory of all dragons in the entire southern continent, the Bronze Dragon Lord from the Phosphorescent Sea has also come to this sanctuary today.

There were also metal dragons who had returned from the western, eastern, and central continents, those who had once served as inspectors.

There are more than twenty giant dragons who are old or above, the majority of which are young and mature metal dragons, and dozens of young metal dragons who are teenagers or below.

These dragons gathered here, their enormous bodies arranged in rows, like a series of small, rolling hills.

But what these dragons are thinking varies from one to another. Even Eren Fuller and the ancient golden dragon Gallo Ramsey cannot yet fully grasp and unify the common consciousness and will of the benevolent dragons of the south.

It's because of the existence of the Northern Empire and the Gorgmora dragonflight.

"Under the will of that red dragon, they used white to spread erosion and cleanse the spirit,"

"They used black magic to subvert the traditions of the dragon,"

"They spread through gray infiltration, making our originally pure metal dragons and benevolent dragons mixed up,"

The ancient golden dragon, Gallo Ramsey, took a deep breath, his dark vertical pupils sweeping over the hundreds of dragons below the main platform, and said in a deep voice, "Their goal is to make the entire world of Ekania their spiritual colony."

"Let all the dragons in the world become colonies of their will, thus running for their goals."

The golden dragon's whiskers and scales bristled in anger, and its voice gradually rose in a passionate roar.

"What kind of ridiculous Dragon Emperor is Kalon Gogmora? He's utterly laughable. He's guilty, terribly guilty!"

"Karon Gogmora is ambitious; he wants to strip all dragons of their free will, restrict their right to soar freely through the skies, and force them to be bound by his worthless 'Dragon Codex.' This is one of his sins,"

The ancient golden dragon sneered and said, "Hasn't our Southern Benevolent Dragon Alliance maintained order among dragons in this way throughout all these long years? Do we need him to stand high on our heads and issue orders?"

"Is it wrong for our Southern Benevolent Dragon Alliance to want to establish a nation? The reason we remain the way we are is precisely because we yearn for the will to be free!"

All the metal dragons pondered for a moment. Although the Northern Empire and the Gogmora Dragonflight were something many young dragons longed for, the words spoken by the ancient golden dragons caused these young dragons to feel a slight subconscious resistance.

"Karon Gogmora is ambitious and doesn't even respect His Majesty Bahamut, the great platinum dragon god and creator of all dragons. He dared to defy His Majesty's majesty and publicly shattered His Majesty's long-dormant projection."

"Even Tiamat, the immortal dragon god who created their five-colored dragon race, did not earn his respect, which shows how domineering this red dragon is,"

"He also uttered arrogant words that His Majesty the Dragon God should not have appeared before him. This is the second crime committed by that red dragon!"

The ancient golden dragon Garo Ramsey observed the reactions of the hundreds of dragons below the stage with his vertical pupils. He was quite satisfied with his speech. At least, his words had made the young dragons who had once supported the Northern Dragon Empire begin to reflect.

The ancient golden dragon's voice deepened as he continued, "Kalon Goggmora is ambitious, as evidenced by the series of declarations and actions this red dragon has made."

"He harbors ambitions to rule over all dragons in the world, not just in the world of Ekania,"

Gallo Ramsey's gaze swept over all the dragons present, and he slowly said, "Then future bloodshed and endless wars are inevitable."

"Who would willingly submit to the empire's rule because of a hollow title, fearing the dragons' ambition?"

"If an ambitious overlord red dragon like Gogmora appeared in the world of Ekania, wouldn't other world planes also have equally ambitious overlord dragons?"

"Would those dominant dragons truly fear Kalon Gogmora, this arrogant and conceited red dragon?"

The ancient golden dragon sneered, "Therefore, endless wars in the future are the inevitable path of Kalon Gogmora's ambition. Even if we, the benevolent dragons of the south, join the Golden Empire, we will inevitably become victims of that red dragon's ambition, weapons of war for him to conquer countless planes and fight against countless dragons."

"The emperor's crown atop that red dragon's head was destined to be forged with countless drops of blood and bones, created from countless corpses and remains,"

"Before you worship, admire, and yearn for this unprecedented feat, can you even imagine that your bones and blood are merely sacrifices to the ambitions of that red dragon?"

The sanctuary was eerily quiet, save for the slow, deep breathing of the dragons and the occasional rustling of their scales.

The ancient golden dragon Gallo Ramsey enumerated the ten deadly sins of the Northern Empire's Emperor Caron Gogmora. Even the bronze dragon Hollister and the ancient silver dragon Illum Fuller, who had been observing from the sidelines, sometimes felt that what the ancient golden dragon said made a lot of sense.

But the silver dragon, Illum Fuller, sighed inwardly. This ancient dragon knew one thing deep down.

There is no future in confronting the Northern Empire. Even though there are more than three hundred Southern Metal Dragons gathered in the Sanctuary at this moment, there are only a little over one hundred Great Dragons in the Northern Dragon Horde.

However, the dragons in the north are far more organized and cooperative than the benevolent dragons in the south.

Even disregarding the combined combat strength of both sides and the powerful legions of the Northern Empire, if we consider the war between the dragon hordes alone, the Southern Good Dragons would not be able to win against the Northern Dragon Horde.

During his time in the Golden Empire, Illum Fuller overheard conversations among several legion commanders within the empire.

The words of those commanders of inferior races whom he had previously looked down upon made a lot of sense. They said that a victorious general will always launch an attack from the enemy's rear and flanks unless he has a sure chance of winning.

To wipe out a legion or kill a person of high status, the first thing to do is to sever the legion's ties with other supporters and cut off the person of high status's connections with surrounding forces.

In fact, after Dragon Emperor Kalon Gogmora defined the theme of the royal court gathering on the day of the Golden Empire's grand ceremony, Illum Fuller already knew that the Southern Good Dragon Alliance had become the captive of the Northern Empire.

Although the Southern Benevolent Dragon Alliance and the various civilizations of the Southern Continent are secretly competing with each other, they also have open communication and exchanges.

However, once those southern kingdoms joined the Pan-Aikania cultural and civilizational community led by the Dragon Emperor, the Good Dragon Alliance found it increasingly difficult to obtain any effective support or assistance from the southern kingdoms.

This means that the network of relationships surrounding the Southern Good Dragons has been instantly severed by the declaration of the True Dragon Emperor's royal court.

No southern kingdom would be willing to openly support the Southern Good Dragon Alliance in any confrontation with the Golden Empire, and even Illum Fuller was not confident about the effectiveness of covert support.

The ancient silver dragon, Illusion Fuller, once believed that the Golden Empire needed a tremendous opportunity—a crucial opportunity free from interference from other civilizations—to unify the Southern Good Dragon Alliance.

But from that day on, that opportunity has always existed. As for when to unify the Southern Good Dragon Alliance, it is only a matter of consideration for the kings of the Golden Empire. Simply put, it depends on their mood.

Therefore, Illustrious Fuller believed that the master of the Northern Empire was not only a powerful figure, a ruler of the world, and a political strategist, but also a military strategist.

With his grand and righteous power and open strategies, Kalon Gogmora easily forced the Southern Good Dragon Alliance into a predicament.

Therefore, when Ellen Fuller looked at the ancient golden dragon Gallo Ramsey, who was giving a lobbying speech on the main stage, his eyes only showed a little pity and helplessness.

“The tide does not turn in us, Gallo,” the silver dragon sighed deeply.

The ancient golden dragon, Garo Ramsey, sneered and angrily rebuked, "Fuller, did you go to the Northern Empire and have your mind cleansed and your will corrupted by that red dragon's magic?"

"The tide does not turn in our hands. Do you think the Northern Empire can launch another transcontinental war?"

"No matter how wealthy the Golden Empire is, it has yet to recover after the massive interstellar expedition war. I've heard that the Red Dragon's treasury has become barren due to their ambition and greed."

"We even had to borrow money from those big business guilds, big merchant groups and big capital in the starry sky to develop and smooth over the impact of the war on the Golden Empire."

Gallo Ramsey sneered, "They may not have the strength to launch another massive war; that would bankrupt their finances."

"If it's just a small-scale war, we have our southern stronghold behind us, what can they do to us?"

"Kalon Gogmora's reputation doesn't frighten me. Our metal dragons' stronghold in the south has been established for hundreds or even thousands of years. It's not something that can be easily breached, especially since our dragons far outnumber the northern dragon hordes,"

"As long as we unite, those dragons in the north will be powerless against us. As long as we wait for the next generation to grow up, strive to cultivate them, reform the alliance system, and slowly accumulate strength, we may very well be able to turn the tide of battle in the future."

The ancient golden dragon said coldly, "Even if it costs us everything, we must mobilize all the metal dragons to summon back the ancient dragons from the depths of space and bring out the overlord of the ancient golden dragon council. It would be better than losing our free will and becoming lackeys and puppets of the northern dragon pack, using our blood, bones and corpses to pave the way for their rise to kingship!"

"Alright, I've said what I needed to say, Fuller. Since you have a different opinion, I won't be as domineering and unreasonable as Caron Gogmora. I'll give you a chance to express your opinion,"

"I'd like to see what kind of profound theories and principles you can come up with!"

The ancient silver dragon slowly rose from its position, shook its scales and wings, and slowly raised its huge head.

"I don't have much to say, but we have some distinguished guests here today, and I think we should welcome them."

The closed doors of the sanctuary slowly opened, and Obirash, the Golden King of the Golden Empire, raised his head and surveyed the entire area.

Beside this ancestral golden dragon were several other metal dragons that had also once belonged to the Southern Benevolent Dragon Alliance.

Golden dragon Naloya, silver dragon Flo, golden dragon Mogsa Labik, and adult silver dragon Oye, etc.

The bronze dragons Gross and Natalie, who had been quietly contemplating in their positions, suddenly became excited and looked at their 'companions' who had come from the north.

"Good day, my fellow countrymen,"

Obilash, with his arrogant and boastful tone, said, "I came to participate in your grand gathering by the holy decree of Emperor Gogmora, with goodwill and friendship, but I never expected to hear words that slander the Holy Emperor. I am extremely disappointed!"
