Red dragon: in charge of natural disasters

Imperial Council Building, Senate.

This special room is located on the top floor of the building. It has a special one-way magic mirror that can overlook the entire Istalia and monitor every corner of the city.

Compared with the political hall that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, the Senate is not large in size, with only one round table and dozens of seats.

But only the real high-level officials of the empire can participate in formulating various domestic policies.

It can be said that the Senate is the real political center of the Burning Ember Empire and can determine the future destiny of the empire.

At this time, in the Senate, the three Dukes Rumpu, Doro, and Metrolash were sitting in the front row. It goes without saying that they are important as the "pillars of the empire."

In addition, there are also the leader of the kobold tribe, Jinya, Guillermo, the minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Alger, the leader of the Redscale Garrison, Anthony, the chief knight of the Dragonsworn Temple, and the dragon of the Tower of Karma Fire. Pact Warlock Misha

Those who can appear here, at least have the status of marquis, are all "big figures" who can influence the situation within the empire.

"Why was this Senate meeting convened at short notice?"

"Yes, according to the usual practice, it should be three days later."

"Is there something big going on?"

"not"

"Bang! Bang!"

Trump tapped the edge of the table with the wand in his hand, making a dull sound, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on him.

"Everyone——"

He cleared his throat.

"In the past year, the empire has become very conservative. I know that many of you are dissatisfied. Now, it is time to make changes.

Your Majesty has awakened from his slumber, and this is why I summoned you here urgently. "

Suddenly, everyone in the courtyard held their breath, and they all looked at the empty luxurious throne at the end of the round table.

The different faces showed excitement, anticipation, nervousness and other emotions.

Because Trump, the chief minister of the empire, had just brought news to them - His Majesty had woken up, and he was about to visit the Senate.

"Shua——"

With everyone's eager anticipation, the space in front of the throne gradually fluctuated and distorted.

Cassius, wearing a crimson robe and a crown, appeared in front of everyone, followed closely by Olivia, who was holding the contract document.

"His Majesty!"

Everyone in the Senate stood up together, bowed their heads in the direction of the throne, placed their right fists on their hearts, and performed a standard loyalty salute.

Olivia hurriedly avoided the direction of everyone's salutes, trotted back to her seat in the second row.

Cassius naturally sat on the throne and pressed it with one hand: "Without courtesy, please take your seats."

Now he is still not used to the human form and always feels restrained. If the space in the Senate was not so cramped, he would have wished to transform into a red dragon.

Cassius casually supported his chin with his hand and said calmly: "Long time no see. I believe that all of you here know more about the recent major events in the empire than I do, for example."

He paused deliberately.

"Demon of the Abyss."

Then, Cassius looked at the people in the Senate, obviously letting them express their opinions and express themselves freely.

"Snapped!"

Doro immediately jumped up, his mouth full of white smoke, and cursed angrily: "Those bugs from the abyss are bullying people too much!"

He turned to look at Trump and pointed to the wound on his ear: "Your Majesty, look at how damaged Mr. Trump's ears are.

How dare they openly assassinate the Prime Minister of the Empire! This is a naked insult to the empire!

But we didn't retaliate, what a shame! Do you know what the people of the empire say?"

"Those demons are so arrogant!"

"Yes, demon attacks have also appeared in the city I govern. They are simply pervasive."

Suddenly, the crowd in the Senate was furious. Many people expressed their dissatisfaction with the raging demons and expressed their approval of Duke Doro.

Trump, who was pointed out, was not embarrassed at all and just sat there leisurely.

Doro seemed to be "concerned" about Trump's injury, but in fact he was complaining to Cassius about Trump's weak policies and gaining support from others in the Senate.

Misha frowned slightly and stood up and said: "Demons are indeed too rampant. I killed the enchanted demon in Istalya, but it is a bit unrealistic to counterattack the abyss.

I have dealt with hell demons in the fire elemental plane and learned a lot about the abyss from them.

According to traditional knowledge alone, the bottomless abyss has 666 layers, filled with filth and blood. There are endless demons in them, and they are under the rule of different abyss lords.

Unless we can capture Pazunia, attacking the Abyss will be wasted and meaningless for the Empire. "

The expressions on the faces of Doro and other military elders suddenly turned ugly, but those elders who were knowledgeable and understood the knowledge of the multiverse expressed their support.

After all, they knew very well that the so-called "counterattack into the abyss" was just an unrealistic slogan.

Trump nodded with pleasure, tapped the floor with his wand, and said: "Our enemy is the so-called 'Vengeance Demon' Jezarslak, a lord of unknown dimensions who lived thousands of years ago.

The current situation is that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the open. It is absolutely irrational to act rashly without getting the intelligence, but "

The ogre archmage grinned, a smile appearing on his ugly face.

"Now that His Majesty has awakened, we can let go and deal with those demons with all our strength.

Your Majesty is far-sighted and has used prophecy to know the invasion of demons in advance, and I have been preparing for this for a long time. "

Dolo's face became more difficult to look at, and Trump turned his head and looked at the emperor on the throne eagerly.

"Snap!"

Casius did not speak, but snapped his fingers.

A huge magic image appeared in the air, showing rolling mountains, and in the distance there were towering snow-capped peaks as high as a thousand meters.

"That's Mount Thierry!"

"I've been there. "

Some people say that Mount Thieri is the most famous peak in the Anstica Mountains, known as the "Spine of the North".

Suddenly, a black giant claw tore the sky, creating an abyss crack with a diameter of hundreds of meters.

Countless weird and hideous demons surged out like waves, and those ugly bodies even covered the sky and cast messy shadows on the ground.

"Ah--"

The picture stopped abruptly.

Casius's calm voice echoed in the Senate.

"According to the prophecy, the abyss demons will invade Anzeta in full, and the invasion will take place in a month. "

Having said this, Cassius casually picked up the dragon-headed scepter on the throne, stood up, and held the scepter horizontally.

Everyone immediately stood up, and all eyes, whether full of expectation, tension or joy, were focused on the emperor.

Among them were half-dragons who had been blessed by blood, ogre wizards, earth elf warriors, dragon-sworn holy warriors, and dog-headed people who looked like upright red dragons.

They were all the top combat forces of the empire, with the concentration of dragon blood in their bodies comparable to that of real dragon descendants, and almost everyone had a challenge level of more than ten levels.

Casius looked around, swept the people present with a scrutinizing gaze, then slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone--

A new war has begun."

Under the leadership of Trump, the elders around the round table once again placed their right fists on their hearts and said in unison: "For the empire." (End of this chapter)
