Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 600 The Birth of a Universal Language
The old mage Constantine and his student Isol stood atop the valley, watching the giant dragon carrying the setting sun soar through the clouds.

The sunset rays swept across these dragons' wings like scattered starlight in the night sky, captivating the eye more than many of the world's treasures.

Besides the giant dragons soaring through the sky, the old mage also noticed that behind the enormous magical interdimensional portal that stood atop the massive altar that had already been built, the shadows of ferocious monsters were beginning to emerge.

These ferocious monsters are mostly intelligent flying dragons and demonic dragons. Because they have lived with the true dragons in the Golden Empire for a long time, these flying dragons and demonic dragons have also begun to undergo some benign mutations, just like the golden goblins and golden kobolds in the empire.

The intelligence of the flying dragon species is even more pronounced. Many flying dragons begin to grow rough scales that cover their entire body surface, uneven from head to tail, making them awe-inspiring.

But when the first demonic dragon peered out from behind this enormous teleportation portal, even the well-informed old mage and Isol couldn't help but gasp in shock.

This enormous dragon bears a striking resemblance to the legendary Dragon Emperor. Its massive head is incredibly wide, with layers of rough, red scales as hard as steel. The head alone is as large as a small house built by a mortal.

Those pupils were like pools of lava settling in a volcanic lake, and with each breath, the two powerful mages atop the valley felt as if a strong smell of sulfur was wafting towards them.

"I have a feeling that this dragon-type creature possesses some bloodline of hellish creatures, teacher,"

Isol watched as the enormous dragon slowly passed through the interdimensional portal; its 380-meter-long body terrified even the genius mage.

If this enormous dragon hadn't only had two claws on its hind legs under its belly, Isol would probably have used magic to teleport away from this place immediately.

Because no matter what kind of dragon it is, if it can grow to a size of 380 meters in this universe, it is no longer a target that ordinary legends can deal with.

That is a characteristic possessed only by powerful dragons that have stepped out of the primordial material world and traversed the starry sky.

It should be noted that even the true form of Phyllis Tiamat, the demigod of the Golden Empire, the immortal dragon god Tiamat, and the five-colored dragon queen, was only slightly larger than this demonic dragon.

Although Phyllis Tiamat's childhood was short, it was enough to demonstrate the power represented by this characteristic.

Of course, the Dragon Emperor of the distant empire is not an ordinary example. Although the Dragon Emperor also achieved many results because he never adhered to the original material world, these two mages were unaware of this.

Constantine's short-handled staff stretched and contracted in his hand, transforming into a long staff that he propped up on the ground. Runes formed from magic flowed in his eyes, peering through the massive dragon in the distance.

"This shouldn't be a native species of our universe. Perhaps it's a creature created by alchemists in the Golden Empire using other bloodlines for modification and hybridization,"

Constantine said softly, "I smelled the aura of hell within it. Perhaps the Dragon Emperor was involved, after all, the once immortal Dragon God created the descendants of the evil dragon."

"And this dragon emperor who rules the mortal realm may also be interested in the actions of the once immortal dragon god."

"But these are all minor matters,"

The old mage squinted and looked behind the demonic dragon.

The enormous interdimensional portal, built to meet temporary needs, was constructed with a staggering amount of resources, including tens of meters high and tens of meters wide.

The enormous altar was hundreds of meters wide, and each of its densely packed magical nodes was filled with elemental crystals and magic gems more than twice the size of an adult's fist.

The tens of thousands of magic crystals and elemental gems that can be seen at a glance can only support the stable operation of this huge magical interdimensional teleportation array for two hours.

Every two hours, for the sake of stability, the entire magic teleportation array must be shut down and the corresponding operating energy redeployed.

The magic teleportation array on this altar alone used more than twenty pounds of mithril, and hundreds of pounds of gold and silver powder, not to mention other materials.

It can be said that the resources consumed by each cross-dimensional teleportation are enough to make even a minor nobleman feel heartbroken, and even bring him to the brink of financial bankruptcy.

This is why Kalon Gogmora needed to unite many large capital groups, merchant guilds, and interstellar merchants within the Liponos Grand Alliance in the starry sky to organize the vast majority of civilized nations in the entire world of Ekania to embark on a pioneering journey into the stars.

While this involves the economic, political, and military means of binding the entire civilization of the Ekania world together, it would be very difficult to achieve this with the current resources of the Golden Empire and the Northern Kingdoms.

What the old mage Constant noticed represented the fact that the civilization in the world of Ekania was beginning to formally extend its reach into their own world.

It was a massive steel fortress, a mobile base forty meters high.

The main frame of this massive mobile command base is made of alloy pressed metal plates, and the thick outer armor is cast from a mixture of shale steel and refined copper, capable of withstanding a large number of physical attacks.

According to the observations of the old mages Constant and Isol, there were energy fluctuations from magical metals within the thick armor of this steel fortress, which meant that this mobile fortress also possessed protective resistance against magical energy.

The observation tower atop this steel fortress faintly emitted a reaction resembling psionic fluctuations. These fluctuations danced in the air, seemingly possessing frequencies that carried information, indicating that the fortress also possessed some unknown psionic function.

Perhaps for stability when crossing the interdimensional portal, this massive steel fortress was slowly pulled through the portal by that enormous demonic dragon.

On either side of this demonic dragon, several flying dragons provided support, dragging the heavy steel cables as they passed through.

Behind this steel fortress, several young sub-iron dragons stepped out one after another, then quickly lined up on both sides, surrounding the steel fortress and the teleportation channel, separating them from the monster army ruled by the Grus dragons.

Finally, a dome-shaped military formation slowly stepped into this world from the other side of the passage with heavy footsteps.

Although the army consisted of only a few hundred men, it felt to Constantine and Isol as if they were facing an indestructible mountain wall.

The erected spears were as unshakeable as a dense forest of steel thorns, and the clang of steel echoed with every step these warriors from the Golden Empire took.

Even the monster legion under the rule of the Grus dragons felt that this army formation was indestructible and invincible.

When these warriors are still, they are like an iron dome, and any impact that comes against them will be shattered like pebbles hitting the mountain dome.

When the army moves, it will be like a steel millstone, crushing all enemies in its path.

Iron Dragon Morton and his grandfather, Ancient Iron Dragon Werner, stood atop Grus's castle, silently watching the warriors arrive from another world. "Your Majesty Morton, Your Excellency Werner, His Majesty the Imperial Regent Dragon King Doss has sent me with his and the Empire's congratulations,"

The sergeant major, dressed in the uniform of the Golden Empire, saluted the two dragons and said, "His Majesty Doss and the other Dragon Kings have all congratulated you on your success and earnestly hope that your next plans will proceed smoothly."

"The Silver Dragon Lord of the Empire also congratulates you on your first successful step, and therefore conveys the will of the Holy Emperor Gogmora."

Iron Dragon Morton's usually calm face lit up with a slight excitement as he stared intently into the sergeant's eyes.

"The will of Emperor Gogmora? I listen attentively!"

The sergeant major spoke solemnly and slowly: "The great cause of the empire requires humility and patience. We cannot prioritize speed, but rather rely on a solid foundation."

"Her Majesty Chris said she hopes you can take at least three years to establish the civilization system in this foundational land, taking into account the local conditions."

"But there are a few things that must be done."

Iron Dragon Morton nodded slightly, signaling the sergeant major in front of him to continue.

"Lord Ini, the Shadow Dragon of the Empire, has created the Golden Ini script within the Empire. Its roots are derived from dragon language and the various races within the Empire, thus possessing excellent applicability and universality to the languages ​​of diverse races,"

"I have brought with me the language template of Lord Shadow Dragon Ini during my visit to Your Majesty. This language is not difficult for dragons to learn,"

"Therefore, during these three years, you need to promote the language of the Empire as much as possible. Language and civilization are inextricably linked, and this is one of them."

Iron Dragon Morton and Ancient Iron Dragon Werner exchanged a glance, both of them feeling a surge of excitement.

This request was not difficult for Morton, but Morton knew that this move meant that the Golden Empire had finally completed the prerequisite for conquering all the dragons of the material plane, linking together the territories ruled by all the dragons of the material plane, with language being the first priority.

Without a common language, many races will experience unnecessary friction and disputes due to language barriers, while a shared language can bring a deeper sense of identity to a certain extent.

"The second is to stabilize the economy, thereby promoting the expansion of the empire's domestic currency and economic policies, allowing the empire's economic influence to take root in the world,"

The sergeant major smiled slightly and said, "This time, the Imperial Vanguard Training Corps has brought the forward command center as His Majesty Morton's assistance."

"The forward command center is not merely a mobile steel fortress and a base for overall teleportation; it also includes communication, sensing, and surveillance functions. Its internal operations are quite complex, and you will need to explore them on your own."

"But the resource processing and storage facilities are the most basic functions. Through the forward command center, you can replicate many facilities in the Empire's homeland in this world to quickly stabilize the local situation and reduce many difficulties."

"The manufacturing methods for weapons and ordnance commonly used in the Imperial Legion are stored in the mainframe of the front-line command center. Only His Majesty Morton has the authority to access them. If there is any forced plundering, the mainframe will automatically destroy the corresponding knowledge stored therein."

The sergeant carefully instructed, "Therefore, Your Majesty must be careful when operating the frontline command center. The highest authority over many functions belongs only to Your Majesty."

Iron Dragon Morton's face lit up with joy again, and he quickly nodded in praise of the capabilities of the Empire's magic research department and central military command.

The sergeant major continued, "Of course, to reward Your Majesty for the merits you have rendered to the Empire, the Imperial homeland has not only drawn many elite officers from the Empire's major main combat legions to serve as instructors and the foundation for Your Majesty's creation of the legions,"

"Your Majesty has also gained direct access to the World Tree, Your Majesty Owo. The specific procedures are handled by the mainframe in the forward command center."

"However, before your base in this world is truly stable, I do not recommend that Your Majesty communicate with Your Majesty Owo,"

The sergeant major gave a meaningful smile and slowly said, "After all, His Majesty Owo's existence needs to be kept secret from the outside world. Once you communicate with His Majesty Owo, it means that His Majesty Owo must send out a root to take root in this world."

"You may only contact His Majesty His Majesty after you have full self-protection capabilities and the ability to safeguard His Majesty's safety."

Although the sudden news of the existence of the World Tree caused the two dragons some emotion and shock.

After all, the original World Tree in ancient legends had roots that could penetrate almost the entire material world, taking root in the core of the material world to draw nourishment and grow.

But Morton, the Iron Dragon, suppressed his inner turmoil and nodded solemnly.

The sergeant concluded, "Of course, there are many other commendations that were issued through orders from the Imperial Central Military Headquarters and are not part of this private meeting. Your Majesty only needs to wait a while."

"However, that dragon named Black Death was drawn from His Majesty the Emperor's dragon stable by Her Majesty Chris as your future mount."

“Those dragons are naturally the mounts of the Iron Dragon King’s guard.”

Iron Dragon Morton grinned, revealing a smile. "I will remember Her Majesty Chris's concern. Please convey my message to Her Majesty Chris that I will be careful and live up to the Empire's trust!"

The sergeant nodded, then saluted again, saying, "Your Majesty Morton, the Empire is with you!"

Iron Dragon Morton slowly bowed his head and returned the greeting.

Only after watching the Master Chief step into the interdimensional portal and disappear without a trace did the two dragons suddenly turn around.

Hulong,

Iron Dragon Morton flew down from the top of the castle and landed in front of the two mages.

"We can continue to cooperate, but we need to discuss the terms!"

Morton lowered his head and said softly.
