Under the Red Dragon

"Be careful, there's movement on the other side, it's likely a new wave of elemental creatures preparing to charge over," the squad leader of the city defense auxiliary army raised his right hand and ordered loudly: "Casters, get ready! Spirit-capturing nets, in position! Archers, prepare for a coordinated volley!"

Thump.

The legion warriors, clad in full body armor, stepped forward in unison, pointing their spears at the opened and secured low-level dimensional passage, shielding the several casters who were preparing behind them.

Archers drew their bows, crossbow bolts were ready to be released, the tips of the arrows and bolts were inscribed with runes that dispelled elemental magic, making them effective weapons against low-level elemental creatures.

Meanwhile, the slender white dragon, Camide, climbed on the giant steel pipes, its white wings hanging down.

Its two heads, supported by long necks, curiously craned over the heads of the warriors, peering into the low-level elemental plane passage, a chilling ice breath already brewing in its mouth.

This passage, resembling a circular arch, was a permanent portal constructed and secured by the empire's high-level casters, connecting to a small, naturally formed fire elemental plane attached to the main plane of Akaniia.

From here, one could see that in the fire elemental plane on the other side, flames did not always cover every piece of land; scorched earth and rock minerals were the theme of this small sub-plane.

Dwarf mountains and ravines were filled with traces of past flame devastation, but now even the flames on the outer edges of this plane were gradually dying out, only in the depths of the plane, unseen by the white dragon Camide, did abundant and constantly dissipating fire elemental energy remain.

During the empire's exploration, the energy of this small dimensional plane was approaching depletion over a long period, with little development value, the input not justifying the output.

Therefore, the empire chose this small plane as its landfill and wastewater discharge site.

A noisy sound came from behind the dwarf mountain, White Dragon Camide, although its two heads and four vertical pupils were staring motionlessly at the plane passage, was constantly daydreaming.

"It's a pity about the plane core born in this plane, there is no way to excavate and exploit it, otherwise, with this treasure, maybe I can get more wealth this year," White Dragon Camide's eyes remained still, this white dragon had a special status in the dragon group.

The other dragons, under the coercion and inducement of the ancestral red dragon, had already abandoned their habits, tied themselves to the golden empire's chariot, pushing the wheels of the chariot forward.

Only White Dragon Camide, under the ancestral red dragon's indulgence, was allowed to grow naturally according to its nature.

Even the task of supervising and maintaining the empire's development of low-level dimensional planes was voluntarily undertaken by White Dragon Camide.

The tentacles of the golden empire, under the common will of the empire's rulers and supporters, were constantly extending.

The large amount of magical elemental mixtures that the ancestral red dragon, Kalon Goggmora, and the dragon lords drank every day were the result of the empire's almost predatory exploitation of those explorable small planes.

Also, the ordinary type of golem legions that the empire's golem legions needed to produce also required a large amount of elemental essence, which made the empire's military department quite supportive of this project.

The chaotic footsteps coming from behind the dwarf mountain became more and more rapid, interrupting White Dragon Camide's beautiful reverie, he slightly opened his mouth, revealing rows of white, ice-bone-like fangs, a cold breath ready to erupt at any moment.

But running out from behind the dwarf mountain was a group of ragged, disheveled, and dry-lipped humanoid creatures, like slaves, mostly of various races with different hair colors, some humans were even not races born in the world of Akaniia.

However, the surrounding warriors relaxed slightly at this time, the squad leader curled his lips and said: "It's these idiots again, I thought elemental creatures were about to rush out, and I was preparing to make a contribution."

The squad leader disappointedly ordered his guards to come forward and take these humanoid creatures into custody one by one.

White Dragon Camide also smacked its mouth and swallowed the cold breath back into its belly.

These unlucky idiots, almost all of them were driven by greed in their hearts, and then deceived by devils, signed contracts, and tricked into these low-level fire elemental planes to pan for gold.

The elemental lives that can be born in these low-level fire elemental planes are mostly of ordinary strength, as long as they are careful, they will not pose a life threat to these gold diggers.

The ragged clothes on these gold diggers are a kind of fire-resistant cloth that can protect against fire damage, wearing clothes made of fire-resistant cloth is enough for these gold diggers to carry out daily activities in the fire elemental plane.

But the devil is not such a kind guy, the fire elemental plane is indeed rich in various minerals and gold, even the weakest adventurers can earn unexpected gold in the short term.

But in the fire elemental plane, gold is not the most expensive, minerals are not the most expensive, the drinking water provided by the devil is the most precious thing in this world.

So the final result of these gold diggers is to owe money and become the devil's lifelong slaves.

These stupid and greedy slaves are always thinking of escaping the control of the devil, the warriors and White Dragon Camide have long been familiar with this situation.

But even if these slaves escape the direct control of the devil, the outcome will not be much better.

Slaves who have signed contracts with devils have no value in the eyes of the empire, and the empire's high-level officials will not waste resources and power to lift the contracts signed by these slaves with the devil.

These slaves will not be sincerely accepted by the empire, and the final result is just to become slaves of the dragons from slaves of the devil, and contribute their labor on the land of the empire.

Some casters even had a brainstorm and proposed to initiate transactions with the masters of these slaves—devils, and let those devils use resources and treasures to exchange for the large number of slaves in the hands of the empire.

But because recently, the material plane coordinates of the golden empire have been marked by many devils as a dangerous land without faith, so this work has not been able to contact the devil as desired.

"Forget it, let's follow the old method, strip the clothes from these slaves, search for the gold and wealth they have collected, and then send them to the slave camp," White Dragon Camide lowered its head a little boredly, turned and walked to the next stronghold, muttering to itself: "The power of these devils has actually extended into the sub-elemental planes outside the world of Akaniia, maybe I should suggest to Kalon, to be more careful."

But in the distance, in the city, suddenly a distant and exciting bell rang, the sound waves were awe-inspiring and rippling, reaching directly outside the city suburbs, causing White Dragon Camide's vertical pupils to burst out with two rays of light in an instant.

Dong, dong, dong.

Different from the usual rhythm of the bell, the urgent and exciting bell is a warning, and also the horn of the dragons.

Whoosh, a gust of wind suddenly swept across the flat ground, White Dragon Camide spread its wings and flew straight to the center of the city.

...

The green dragon, Ellie, carrying a child in its mouth, landed on the city head of Wanliu City, and the bell of Wanliu City also rang at this time, the melodious and exciting bell echoed in the sky above the entire city with the striking action of the blue dragon, Kalit.

This is a bell that only dragons can ring, not that Kalit is too aggressive, but the distant forest is being destroyed at an extremely fast speed, huge trees are being knocked down, and the dense forest is being collapsed by huge creatures, forming a road to the front.

Under the echo of the bell, many Wanliu City garrison legion warriors began to climb the city wall, arranging their armed equipment. The huge armor-piercing crossbow began to stir the winch, and thick crescent crossbow arrows, as thick as an adult's arm, began to accumulate the power to penetrate steel plates as the winch concave.

Elf archers and gunners have also taken their places, and a solemn atmosphere shrouded the sky above Wanliu City.

A huge sound came from the distant forest, and closer and closer, it was a burst of rapid huge footsteps, just like a group of giants, trampling the earth in a frantic run.

The blue dragon, Kalit, flapped its wings and landed, standing beside the green dragon, Ellie, with a serious face, but the vision of the two dragons had already ignored the fleeing beast tide, even if a beast head directly hit the city wall built of solid stone in a hurry.

Smashing their brains and cracking, and then being trampled by the beast herd behind, becoming a pile of broken corpses.

"That is," the blue dragon, Kalit, looked up into the distance, her voice full of dignity, "Storm giants, a group of storm giants."

"The problem is," the green dragon Ellie's cheeks twitched, and a somewhat dry voice sounded, "These storm giants are also running for their lives, what terrible existence is chasing them."

The dense forest has been destroyed, revealing a large area of ​​gap, and the dragons and warriors standing on the city wall can see that the thin forest has revealed the figure of the fleeing storm giants.

There are a total of ten storm giants, but their height is quite terrifying, and the storm giant at the end is almost as tall as the city wall of Wanliu City.

Although the city wall of Wanliu City was only built to defend against the impact of beasts and monster races at the beginning of its establishment, and only built a height of sixteen meters in the absence of sufficient manpower, the city wall cut with boulders is enough to cope with most situations and the impact of war.

However, facing the storm giants with an average standing height of more than ten meters, the city wall, which used to look quite solid and brought a sense of security to the residents of the city, seemed a bit fragile.

It's like those giants only need to wave their weapons in their hands to easily destroy the entire city wall.

His.

Blue Dragon Kalit's fangs leaked, her forelimbs rested on the city wall, and she said seriously: "Even so, we can't directly abandon the city and run away. I have already rang the bell. Just hold on and wait for the dragons to come to support."

"I won't leave you and the city and run away alone," Green Dragon Ellie's mouth twitched, and she nodded her head lightly in the distance, and hissed: "However, it seems that it may be difficult for us to hold on. Maybe if the dragons react a little slower, they can come here to help our two dragons collect the corpses."

The size of those storm giants is enough to make the two dragons pay attention, but the hunters who chased after this group of storm giants made the two female dragons feel a kind of pressure that they could not resist.

Even the two dragons who dare to show their teeth and claws in the face of the adult silver dragon, Chris Diana, are under increased pressure in the face of the one-eyed giant who looks almost twenty meters tall.

The strength of the dragon is closely related to age and size, and the same is true for these giant species.

But the size of the dragon includes their tail. A twenty-meter dragon is not the same concept and level as a twenty-meter giant.

Even if the one-eyed giant is only a lower species among the giants, but being able to grow to a height of nearly twenty meters must have lived for hundreds of years and grown to the peak.

And the two female dragons are even just underage dragons.

What's more, the one-eyed giant who dragged the giant hammer to chase after the storm giants did not come alone. Shadowy huge figures appeared in the forest trampled by the giants.

Those are also huge giant species, with stone giants wrapped in rocks, following the one-eyed giant lord with slow steps.

There are also mountain giants, who are known for their giant power that can carry hills. There are not many of these mountain giants, but their size is different from that of the variant hill giants. They are particularly huge and strong, and standing next to the one-eyed giant lord, they look even stronger than this one-eyed giant lord.

There are also wood giants whose personalities do not match their race. The bodies of these giants, whose tempers are as irritable as those of the fire giants, have layers of patterns like ancient tree rings on the surface, which look like tattoo totems on tough skin.

There are also groups of giant-like species and giant subspecies, as well as ancient ogre species. These ancient ogres are regarded as a subspecies of the giant bloodline, and they respect the same ancestral blood as the giants.

According to legend, the bloodline of all true giants comes from the giant father - Annan, the powerful giant god.

In the giants' pedigree, the Titans are only high-level creations among the giants, and they also belong to the true giants, and the giant father Annan is the source of all Titans and giants in the world.

The various children of the giant father Annan created the gods of the Titans and giants in the world. The ruler who can be born among the storm giants, the Thunder Lord, is also created by the power of the giant father Annan.

For the former enemy, there is naturally a lot of knowledge in the inheritance of the two female dragons to understand. Seeing the storm giants chased by the one-eyed giant lord approaching the city, the warriors on the city wall raised their attention to the highest point.

Blue Dragon Kalit took a deep breath and roared: "Legion, get ready, all units in position!"

"Stop, dragon, maybe we are friends," a huge voice, like thunder, came from the mouth of the storm giant.

The storm giant Garcia, who was running in panic, shouted: "I am the young master of the storm giant tribe, Garcia. I have come to the country ruled by dragons to seek the protection of Kalon Goggmora, a friend of the storm giants!"

Blue Dragon Kalit stopped her order, exchanged glances with Green Dragon Ellie, and then roared in a deep voice: "Then stop your steps, stand two hundred meters away, and wait in place!"

"But," Garcia hurriedly shouted, "The one-eyed giants behind, they are catching up!"

"I said, wait in place!"

Blue Dragon Kalit looked cold, stood on the city wall, spread her wings, and shouted: "All warriors, target transfer, archers ready, casters ready, aim at the rear!"
