I, Valon, am frantically searching for my mother.

As it turns out, managing a herd of dragons does indeed require talent.

Red Dragon Cody, however, clearly does not possess this capability.

The arrogance and selfishness ingrained in the red dragons' bones make them look down on any non-red dragon species, and even their own subordinates.

In their eyes, other dragons were either slaves or mining slaves, resources to be squandered.

This means that once the red dragon takes power, it is almost a disaster for the dragon horde.

Blue Dragon Lyle had been putting up with this red dragon for a long time.

Why did you have to rebel when Empress Anna was doing a good job?

Now even a red dragon like Cody has come up.

Red Dragon doesn't have that ability, you understand?

If that's the case, then why was Cody able to become emperor?

This brings us to Red Dragon's extremely high stats and his indomitable spirit.

Even when Queen Anna was still alive, Cody would often find opportunities to stir up trouble and act as a troublemaker, trying to challenge Anna's authority.

After each time Anna gave Cody a good beating, he would behave himself for a while.

This time it's different, though. Queen Anna has been gone for so long that no dragon can stand up to Cody.

Therefore, Cody decisively chose to declare herself emperor, becoming the current Red Dragon Queen Cody.

According to the script, Cody was supposed to use his superior fighting skills to swagger around, wreak havoc on the entire dragon pack, drive them all out, and then take over the only oasis for himself.

Unfortunately, she was unlucky; when she tried to act all high and mighty in front of Wayne, she ended up flying.

"Your Majesty! Husband of the great Empress Anna!"

Blue Dragon Lyle lowered his head, his tone sincere.

"Only a wise and brilliant ruler like yourself can lead the Russell Dragons to ever greater heights! Please lead us from victory to even greater victories!"

"what?"

Wayne let out a soft "hmm" and shifted his weight on Cody's back.

As a green dragon, Wayne was naturally immune to flattery. What he was really curious about was how this blue dragon knew about his relationship with Anna.

How did you know I was connected to Anna?

Lyle remained humble, his head almost touching the gravel on the ground.

"Your Majesty, look at the dazzling gold coins around your neck."

Blue Dragon's voice was melodious and varied.

"That was once the most dazzling treasure in Queen Anna's treasury! When Queen Anna was alive, she often spoke of it with deep longing, saying that she was looking for the most powerful husband to lead us, her homeless young dragons."

"The moment I saw that gold coin, I dared to boldly guess—with such divine power and possessing the Queen's token, you must be the great husband Queen Anna has been searching for!"

It has to be said that the Blue Dragon's intelligence is guaranteed.

It's amazing that they were able to deduce so much information from just half a gold coin around her neck.

"Very clever, Blue Dragon Lyle."

Wayne nodded, bouncing his bottom on Cody's back in approval.

"It seems Anna's choice to elect you as Prime Minister was indeed wise!"

Hearing such generous praise, Blue Dragon Lyle couldn't help but feel a little smug, and the tip of his tail even wagged happily.

He knew in his heart that he did not have the magnanimity to become a leader, but as the prime minister of the dragons, he needed the dragons as a whole to prosper.

Only when the dragon clan is powerful enough can he, as the prime minister who is second only to the emperor, possess more power and benefits.

"Your Majesty flatters me."

Lyle lowered his head again.

"This land is now barren and desolate, and the red dragon Cody covets the throne, betraying Queen Anna... Fortunately, you have set things right. Only a wise and powerful ruler like you can lead us out of this predicament!"

Lyle took two steps forward, his voice tinged with pleading:

"Please stay, Your Majesty! Only you can lead the Russell Dragons from victory to even greater victories! We are all willing to submit to your great leadership and serve you faithfully!"

Cody, pinned beneath him, trembled all over. He tried to fight back with all his might, but Wayne's weight held him down, and he could only let out muffled, angry whimpers.

Wayne stroked his chin, looking at the group of sensible young dragons before him.

Previously, Wayne didn't want to participate in Anna's kindergarten games, mainly because he felt that this thing had no future and it was far more practical to find more mothers.

But not long ago, after gaining a little girl mother named Anna, Wayne finally realized the truth.

Turns out the system is a lolicon!

Even a little girl can be her own mother.

Having realized this, Wayne discovered that his previous ideas might have been somewhat outdated.

Wayne now has his own unique way of thinking.

"All right."

Wayne nodded, pretending to be reluctant.

"Since everyone is so sincere, I'll reluctantly stay and lead you."

Lylton was overjoyed.

Yes, yes, yes!

That's it, let's hurry up and get a normal dragon to lead the Russell dragon pack!

However, before Lyle could lead the bowing, Wayne's voice rang out again:

"However, Lyle, I need to correct you on one point."

"Anna is not my wife. In fact, she is my mother!"

Lyle: ? ? ?

In that instant, Blue Dragon Lyle felt as if his CPU had burned out.

What does it mean that Empress Anna is your mother?

Lyle envisioned countless possibilities.

In fact, even if Wayne had said that he had paired Queen Anna with someone else, Lyle wouldn't have been so shocked.

But he never expected this answer.

Lyle stiffly raised his head, looking at the towering Wayne, nearly three meters tall, a size larger than himself, and only slightly smaller than the red dragon he rode, and spoke with difficulty:

"Your Majesty...you mean, Empress Anna is...your mother?"

"Um."

Wayne nodded, seemingly unconcerned by the strange looks he received from the surrounding dragons, and then said rather humbly:

"Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually not even eight weeks along yet."

Is this eight weeks?

Listening to Wayne's continuous outrageous remarks, Lyle's mouth dropped open slightly as he suddenly realized that something was seriously wrong.

Oh no, no, no!

A dragon leading a herd should not be like this.

But by this time, Wayne had already gotten into the swing of things. He stood up, stepped on the little female dragon Cody, and faced the group of trembling young dragons, his grand pronouncements pouring down like a waterfall:

"However, since everyone is willing for me to lead the dragons—"

"I, Goddu Wayne Gris, hereby pledge! From this moment forward, the Russell Dragonflight is officially elevated to a great dragon kingdom!"

"I will lead this kingdom to conquer mountains, fill seas, and rule the entire world!"

This...yes, right?

Listening to Wayne's powerful speech once again, even someone as intelligent as the Blue Dragon Lyle couldn't understand the current situation.

But Lyle knew that there was only one way to go at this point.

The next second, Lyle led the way in kneeling down to welcome the new emperor!

"Your Majesty's fame will surely resound throughout the heavens, the seas, and the land!"

"His Majesty the Great King Wayne will surely lead his kingdom to glory!"

Lyle led the way, kneeling down and shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Your Majesty, please give the order, and the kingdom you have named will surely become renowned!"

Wayne nodded in satisfaction, looking at the young dragons kneeling in worship before him, and for the first time, a strange emotion called "sense of accomplishment" arose deep within him.

Is this what power tastes like?

Yes, he likes it very much.

"Very good, very energetic!"

Wayne cleared his throat.

"I hereby declare that the name of our great nation is—Motherland!"

"Now, I will announce the first decree of the Motherland!"

"From this moment forward, every dragon in my country is my mother!"
