Under the Red Dragon

In the second year of the Dragon Era, on the Golden Coast.

It was already the season of spring rain, and the mild climate made the drizzling rain seem less annoying.

In this season of vibrant life, even the sound of the tide lapping against the islet coast seemed particularly surging.

The ships at the estuary dock came and went endlessly, and were even more crowded and busy in these few days. Countless ships bearing noble banners and merchant group flags arrived in succession at this golden city, which had already become a little famous among the civilizations of the northern continent.

Because the first opening time set by the Dragon Auction House was approaching.

Not only did some nobles who had secretly cooperated with the dragons send their agents, but even some nobles and forces who harbored hostility towards the dragons also sent their agents.

The debut of the Dragon Territory as an official political force was an opportunity that those nobles who frequented the political circles would not refuse, and besides, they also wanted to learn more about this force that had begun to stir up muddy waters in the dark.

Even if they, like other nobles, still had trade dealings with the Dragon Territory in secret. They still didn't understand why a region ruled by evil dragons had gradually become a place representing hope and beauty in the word-of-mouth of many lower-level people.

In the full-throttle propaganda of the Cultural Propaganda Department under the command of Copper Dragon Alfred, everyone can eat their fill, and having surplus grain for every meal has become one of the labels of the Dragon Territory.

Moreover, the story books that were spread, and the many games that were deliberately publicized and influenced, also proved that life in the Dragon Territory was affluent, and that it had begun to gradually pay attention to the construction of spiritual and cultural entertainment.

The stories that spread out from the Golden Land had also begun to circulate and prevail in the territories of many nobles, and were adapted and performed in opera houses everywhere.

The simple card game that originated in this territory was also embraced by many people, and the taverns that were able to be opened in the territories of the lords and nobles had also become a place of recreation for many people.

And there were also those things in the Dragon Territory that people talked about with relish, such as the many beautiful elves that appeared. In the world of Akania, elves were about to become legends among ordinary people, just like those five-colored dragons that were gradually disappearing.

Unlike the orcs kingdom twilight that was driven to the islands to be raised in captivity and left to fend for themselves. Although those elves also retreated from the position of ruling like the Orc Kingdom, they could still maintain a relative dignity.

In the endless Elf Forest of the Western Continent, there were the homes of those elves, the branch remnants of the Elven Empire, the five major Elf Kingdoms.

But the arrogance of elves has always been one of the stereotypical labels attached to them, and it is appropriate. The closed five major Elven Kingdoms rarely interact with the outside world, and even the human countries on the Western Continent are not often able to see the traces of these elves.

There were also legends of huge arenas being built, which not only circulated in the Golden Land, but also influenced the outside world.

In the arena within the Dragon Territory, as long as one wins a hundred consecutive matches, they can take the crown of a gladiator, and not only can they meet the ruler of the Golden Land, one of the ruling dragon lords, but they can also get a reward that would make countless people's hearts beat faster.

The warrior who wins the gladiator's crown can freely choose one item from the treasure house of the Golden City, or obtain a promise from one of the dragon lords.

Although no one knows exactly what is in the treasure house of the Golden City, it can be seen from the list listed at the Dragon Auction House that it certainly won't be ordinary goods like gold and silver.

However, no one has yet achieved the achievement of a hundred wins in the Dragon Arena.

This is not only because of the randomly matching challenge mechanism of the Dragon Arena, but also because the warriors in the Dragon Legion are also yearning for this honor.

Those adventurers and rangers knights who often consider themselves powerful come to this arena to challenge for the reward, but some howling legion warriors will always jump out to defeat them for honor, and then accept the cheers of the crowd triumphantly.

Even the knight with the title of 'Dawn Divine Sword' in the human countries, Kairo, was defeated after fighting a legion centurion for an entire morning.

Fortunately, there is no rule for life-and-death battles in the Dragon Arena. Although it advocates bravery, it still reserves respect for powerful warriors, which allowed this 'Dawn Divine Sword' Kairo to survive.

There is also a powerful hunter from the Orc Kingdom - the Berserker Krasi, this warrior who takes enemies as prey is powerful enough, and is also well-known among adventurers, and is now achieved his tenth victory.

And some other reputable powerhouses such as Lightning Spine, Shadow Venom Mother are also accepting the trials and challenges of the arena.

And those bards especially like to spread these stories, so every powerhouse who challenges the honor of a hundred wins in the arena has received some extra attention.

This has also led to the largest flow of people to the rebuilt Golden City to date. The Golden City, whose resident population has reached nearly 50,000, plus these coming and going guests and caravans, is no less bustling than the main city of any noble lord.

The law enforcement officer of the Golden City, Foreign Dragon Nakson, re-arranged the entire Golden City according to his own plan, including the defense of the coastal port, to ensure that no major disturbances occur during this period.

Each patrolling squad of kobold soldiers will be equipped with at least one spellcaster to facilitate quick response and communication when encountering difficult problems.

A carriage that looked ordinary, but was particularly spacious, was driving on a street wide enough to allow sixteen huge earth dragons to pass at the same time, heading out of the city.

From the opening lifted by the carriage window, a pure and beautiful face was revealed, it was the princess of the former Cathay Empire,莉雅·西撒(莉雅·西撒: Liya Caesar).

Liya Caesar looked at the lively scene in the Golden City, just like looking at the capital of the former Cathay Empire. The people living in this city looked happier, stronger, and more active and full of vitality than the ordinary subjects of the Cathay Empire.

However, she was not worried about the changes in the Dragon Territory, but was thinking about her father, the current Duke查拉尔·西撒(查拉尔·西撒: Charal Caesar).

Liya always felt that some changes had taken place in her father. Although Charal Caesar sent out his most beloved daughter for the reason of experience, Liya always felt that her father was intentionally or unintentionally distancing himself from her, sending away her.

Although the dragons were their enemies, and the two sides would eliminate each other at all costs on the battlefield, the private business still had to be done.

Liya was given an important task for this trip, not only to buy some needed treasures at the auction, but also to expand the scale of military equipment trade with the Dragon Territory.

However, today, when the Dragon Territory is transforming into a formal kingdom, the person in charge of the auction is only a mid-level official of the Golden City. She cannot contact the official in charge of the military trade at all, because this important trade, which is prone to corruption, is reviewed and approved by the dragon lord who governs the Golden City, the Blue Dragon Doss.

But the Blue Dragon Doss is not currently in that towering city fortress, so Liya took a group of guards and wanted to go to other cities to seek the approval of another dragon lord.

"Eh," Liya suddenly sighed, pulled the curtains shut, and looked at her loyal guards beside her, Nali who was disguised as a personal butler, and said, "Who were the many nobles invited by that orc who accepted the invitation last night."

"No human noble would agree to meet with an orc, even if it is an orc noble, Your Highness," Nali, who was about fifty years old, looked to be at his peak, and was not as old and dim as humans of this age.

"I don't know what that orc noble wants to do. Contacting so many nobles in private, just a simple banquet, the orc noble would not tolerate the arrogance and disdain of humans,"

The young Liya is no longer the simple princess Your Highness she once was. Time will always make people grow, either in wisdom or in foolishness.

"I heard that those orc kingdoms are very close to the orc remaining tribes on the grasslands, and often have trade dealings through the Dragon Territory,"

"And they once tried to seek a territory in the Dragon Territory that would be enough for them to survive, and for this reason, they greatly made friends with the officials of the Golden Land, trying to influence the dragon lords who rule this territory through these officials and persuade,"

Nali, who looked serious, said calmly, observing this last descendant of the Caesar family.

Liya's delicate eyebrows furrowed up. She pondered the connections, and then retorted in some surprise: "Could it be that these orcs are plotting the idea of the dragons? Have they taken a fancy to this fertile land nurtured by the dragons?"

"But how is this possible? Although the orc Kingdom is powerful enough, this is a united dragon group. They have many loyal subordinates, and this can almost be regarded as a dragon's kingdom."

A trace of satisfied smile revealed in Nali's eyes. He looked at this pure Your Highness, and said with a smile: "If the dragons were truly invincible, there would not be so many dragon slaying stories in the world of Akania, Your Highness,"

The most⊥new⊥small⊥say⊥in⊥six⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥first⊥release!

"With premeditated targeting, hundreds of warriors can kill a young dragon, but without preparedness, a young dragon is enough to destroy a small country. In battle, power and wisdom go hand in hand."

This butler, who looked like a strong man in his thirties, smiled: "And the dragons have an iron law that they cannot refuse, they must enter slumber at the end of their age stage in order to seek their own growth."

"In this case, unless they encounter a fatal danger themselves, it is difficult to wake these dragons up. And according to estimation, most of the dragons in the dragon group will enter slumber."

"The most important thing is that the bond of the dragons, the red dragon who rules everything, will also step into slumber. At that time, the dragons will be without a leader, even if there are more subordinates, it will be difficult to gather the strength to resist the orcs."

"Perhaps the other evil dragons will take the initiative to divide the treasures in the territory and flee with their subordinates when facing danger. Those evil dragons are proud but outwardly strong but inwardly weak, hehe,"

This butler, who has been diligently guarding the Charal Caesar family since childhood, is obviously also a smart person, teaching his future master, the heir of the family.

"Don't the orcs fear that other human countries will send out legions to oppose them," the skin between Liya's eyebrows has never been smoothed before. Perhaps the sparks have already turned out in her little head.

"Hehe, as long as the orc Kingdom does not attack the human countries on the continent, those human nobles will definitely not take action. I know the nature of those nobles very well, no, perhaps it is more appropriate to describe it with the nature of humans."

……

Above the sky, dragons are flying. The young red dragon Kadilos is flying in the front, and the blue dragon Akxz is leading the blue dragon Karit in the middle, talking to each other.

Although the blue dragon Karit is determined to embrace the dragon group again, the crime of betrayal the dragon group is too heavy, making Karit, who has already figured it out, have some emotions similar to fear of returning home, wanting to flee in fear of punishment.

It can only be said that the massacre encountered when she was weak, seeing the adult blue dragons in the family die one by one in the hands of that hunter, brought a particularly huge impact to this mother dragon, scaring her out of her wits and turning her into a timid dragon.

And the juvenile female green dragon Ellie is following behind several dragons with the wyverns she has subdued.

Although this female green dragon is enslaved by the slavery contract of the blue dragon Akxz, she has raised the idea that this is not bad after seeing the richness of the dragon group's territory, breaking the pot broken, anyway, she can't resist, so it is better to enjoy it.

She looked at the distant mountains, the peaks emitting with flames and soaring black mist. There was an extremely strong red dragon aura there, but it was not the aura of the young red dragon in front.

For the green dragon who actively touching and trying sensing, her mind was filled with a shocking depressing heavy feeling, as if that mountain peak was also contaminated by the will of the mountain's owner, becoming particularly aggressive, wanting to suppress any will that dares to actively pry.

And the green dragon's mountain, that huge green nest palace also made her envious.

There were also the black dragon's mountain, the blue dragon's lair, and, she actually sensed the aura of the metal dragon, which made this juvenile green dragon personally realize the prosperity of the dragon group.

"Maybe, joining this prosperous dragon group is not bad," the juvenile green dragon Ellie thought in her heart, but a strange taste, a subtle taste that was enough to attract her attention came from afar, and in the breeze, it made her rise with doubt.

The female green dragon turned her head and looked towards the source of this strange taste. In the continent opened up in the distant forest, a group of gorgeously dressed guards were surrounding a spacious carriage, walking on the avenue.

There, was the source of this taste.

"What is this taste? It doesn't seem like a taste that some creature can emit. I haven't smelled it before. Why does it feel so familiar,"

The green dragon Ellie sniffed in mid-air. She didn't notice at all that the scales and horns on her body had become dim again, as if her vitality was slowly flowing away with the passage of time.

"So strange, this taste makes me want to eat a big meal, and even want to eat all the dragons in front!"
