Under the Red Dragon

Aikania, Northern Continent, Modier.

Spring has arrived, all things are growing, the sunlight is dappled, and the green fields are shining.

On the plains of Modier, many farmers are also active, busy sowing the seeds for the autumn harvest.

Modier is less a country and more a collection of cities, towns, and wilderness forming a super-large urban sprawl.

The former Grand Duke of Modier led his twenty-eight knights from scratch, pioneering the Duchy of Modier, which occupied six provinces, but it has now declined.

The reduction of territory from that comparable to a large duchy to that barely comparable to the domain ruled by a small and medium-sized noble is also the history of a noble family going from peak to decline.

Failure to progress means that standing at the peak's summit signifies the beginning of retreat.

This is also the norm for most aristocratic families.

However, Modier has recently had an opportunity to revive, because Modier, located by the sea, has a seaport pier that is not large but stable enough.

Thanks to the rise of the dragon-created kingdom in the northern wilderness, the sea route along the northern coast has become known as the Maritime Gold Road.

Although the country of Modier does not have any special products or resources, it can rely on the seaport to bring a substantial fiscal tax revenue to this small country every year.

However, in the last half month, Modier has encountered a very dangerous problem.

A giant dragon heard somewhere about the richness of Modier's seaside port, so it swaggered to the low mountains near the seaside port to build its nest.

This hateful dragon not only announced that it would occupy this port, hoping that the port would hand over a generous protection fee every month, but also asked the people of the surrounding towns to select the most beautiful girls for the dragon to choose from in a beauty pageant.

The port's guard once launched an encirclement and suppression against this giant dragon, but was easily repelled by the dragon, making the dragon's arrogance even more rampant.

The thirteenth generation bloodline of Modier, Viscount Faro, who ruled the entire territory, had no choice but to send his most powerful paladin, commanding an elite three hundred territory knight legion, to drive back this evil dragon.

It should be known that the entire Modier family has only three thousand regular legion warriors. In this aristocratic social system, being able to raise three thousand regular troops is already considered extremely wealthy strength.

In order to deal with this evil dragon, Viscount Faro not only sent one-tenth of the territory's elite warriors and core commander, but also spent a lot of gold coins to recruit many wandering mages, priest and druids, adventurers to form an army to crusade against the evil dragon.

When Paladin Ellis, leading three hundred elite legions, leading a thousand reserve auxiliary legions, and recruited dragon-slaying teams came to the low mountain groups located outside the port's wilderness, they saw a dozen people wearing cotton robes squatting under the low mountain cave, crying with tears.

Paladin Ellis's eyes flashed. Although these people were dressed plainly, each of them was wearing a cotton robe that could resist the early spring cold, obviously not from poor families, but from wealthy families in the town.

"Bring them over and ask what's going on!"

Ellis waved his hand, ordering his soldiers to go and inquire.

The remaining elite soldiers had already unloaded the dragon-hunting crossbows and nail cannons from the carriages pulled by the auxiliary legion and began to assemble them, setting up layers of defense and traps around the cave of the low mountain.

The recruited spellcasters and priests were using spells to detect the situation inside the cave, while also setting up magic circles around the cave to trap the dragon.

The druids, whose source of power was wild energy, and the two recruited holy warriors guarded the spellcasters, guarding against unexpected situations.

Several recruited bards began to pluck their strings, showering the warhorses and warriors with auras of courage to resist the dragon's dragon's might.

Only one powerful holy warrior, wearing exquisite chainmail, did not wear a helmet, but revealed her tied-up golden hair. Her fair hand gripped her sword tightly, still standing beside Paladin Ellis.

This holy warrior with a powerful aura, standing beside Paladin Ellis, who was riding a warhorse, did not appear weak at all, but rather had an even more high spirit.

Her beautiful face, with solemnity and pride, made this female warrior's charm even more captivating.

"Commander, these are all people from the town," the squad leader forcibly drove these people over, lest they affect their own actions, and then returned to report what he had learned.

"According to them, the giant dragon often flies to the town, selecting beautiful girls from house to house. Those who are favored by it will be looted and placed in the dragon's nest,"

The squad leader showed a hint of anger on his face and said, "But once these girls are looted to the nest, they never come out again."

Paladin Ellis's thick eyebrows furrowed instantly, and a chilling killing intent rose around him.

But even more fierce anger and killing intent bloomed from the golden-haired holy warrior, and the fair fingers gripping the hilt were almost welded to the hilt.

There are only two outcomes for a dragon looting beautiful girls: either serving the dragon, becoming the dragon's toys and slaves, or being eaten by the dragon as food.

What's more, this dragon that occupies the low mountain cave is rumored to be a red dragon, the most ferocious and barbaric dragon species among the color dragons.

Perhaps at this time those beautiful girls have already turned into feces in the evil dragon's belly, leaving only a pile of pale bones.

Paladin Ellis sighed heavily, then waved his hand helplessly and said, "Then let those Warlock prepare, drive this evil dragon out, and get rid of it."

Warlock, this strange profession that has emerged in the Northern Continent, is said to have originated in the golden empire of the northern wilderness.

The wisdom of living beings always has unpredictable potential. Even without the core knowledge of the Golden Empire, some spellcasters with unique ideas have created the Warlock system based on some knowledge passed down from the Golden Empire.

The legion warriors of the Golden Empire can carry and tame the blood of ancient demons and devils in their own bodies, but these Warlock cannot do this and do not have the corresponding knowledge.

But they summoned devils from the region and demons from the abyss with this idea, and then signed contracts with these demons and devils. They temporarily carry the power of these demons and devils, or use the power of these devils and demons to drive their devil and demon servants.

It is said that the end point that these Warlock can eventually reach can also be like the powerful warriors of the Golden Empire, who can inherit the blood of these ancient and powerful beings after carrying the power of demons and devils for a long time and possess the inheritance of ancient blood.

The holy warrior in the team coldly watched these Warlock set up rituals and prepare to summon the power they controlled.

Although holy warriors are considered lunatics with morality as the standard in the eyes of most noble lords, they are not really lunatics. The spells of detecting evil are also taboos that cannot be used casually for these holy warriors.

Not being able to blindly execute justice and goodness is also the truth that holy warriors are gradually realizing.

After all, the Silver Dragon Valkyrie Chris Tiana in the south, after returning to her clan and regaining control of the Silver Dragon Paladin Order, some of her public speeches have caused a major sensation in these days.

Originally, a silver dragon's speech would not have such a huge impact.

But as the cause and effect of the defeat of Nasuye, the legendary adult golden dragon, one of the leaders of the Dragon Crown Council in the Southern Good Dragon Alliance, and the legendary Storm Titan Daria, spread, the actions of the Silver Dragon Chris Tiana have been paid attention to by many eyes.

Holy warriors have also sparked discussions and explorations internally due to some of the Silver Dragon Valkyrie Chris Tiana's speeches. Many holy warriors believe that the Silver Dragon Chris Tiana has been corrupted by the Goggmora dragon groups of the Northern Golden Empire and is no longer worthy of walking with goodness and justice.

But some holy warriors believe that justice and goodness are not absolute, but relative, but holy warriors who hold this idea are always a minority.

Fortunately, the divine power used by holy warriors does not come from any god, and the holy power does not come from the gift of any being.

Just as divine power does not only come from gods, the firm belief of some believers in a certain concept in the universe is enough for these believers to obtain magic and divine power from it.

Just like many wandering priests, who devote themselves to a certain concept rather than a specific god, and are able to obtain spell abilities from it, just like the connection between druids and the natural primal wild power.

So these minority holy warriors have not lost their power, because these holy warriors simply serve the will of justice or the spirit of chivalry.

"Black wings have already carved his mark on my body, and I am able to feed his family members, and carry his power."

"From then on, his power will always be with me, his power will increase day by day, and I will rise higher and higher until the peak..."

The sound of the incantation and the mercury mist rose at the same time, and the magic circle ritual outlined in front of the Warlock began to flow with the light of runes, like the door of a channel slowly opening, and the mercury mist began to condense into shape.

A ferocious goat's head loomed from this mercury mist, about to come to the main material plane and give its contractor the power of a devil.

But this devil with a goat's head suddenly sniffed, and a pair of red pupils looked around, eventually locked on the cave on the low mountain.

Pa,

The magic circle flowing with mercury, silver, and magic powder instantly dimmed, and the people around could see the receding back of this goat-headed devil.

There was also the frantic voice of this goat devil, gibberish excitedly resounding in everyone's ears.

"Are you out of your mind? I signed a contract with you for profit, not to really work for you. Although devils and demons are not afraid of dying on the material plane, if they fall into the hands of that groups of evil beings in the Golden Empire, they can't even die if they want to!"

"Next time you want to summon me, remember to stay away from the range of the northern wilderness, you damn idiot."

The last echo of the gradually dissipating plane summoning channel came, "I tell you, the entire Nine Hells plane, which is closest to the Aikania world in relative plane distance, has added the specific coordinates of this continent to the blacklist. If you really want to get the help of devils or demons, you'd better try to summon devils and demons from other planes, don't look for me again!"

Pa, the entire ritual of the summoning circle suddenly burst open, and only some mercury mist gathered in the air and did not disperse.

Several Warlock looked at each other, involuntarily looking at Paladin Ellis.

Ellis waved his hand helplessly, "Forget it, you go down, your reward is gone too!"

Ellis turned his gaze to several detecting spellcasters, revealing a questioning look.

"Lord Ellis, inside the evil dragon's nest, there is not only the life aura of the evil dragon, but also the life aura of a human being,"

The spellcaster in charge of detecting the situation came up and said softly.

If only the life aura of the evil dragon existed, then the encircling legion could use spells and ordnance without any scruples to force the evil dragon out.

But with the existence of humans, it made it difficult for these spellcasters to speak, throwing the choice to this commander.

Fortunately, Ellis was lucky, and the world did not make this commander face another form of human orbit choice problem.

Because the red evil dragon was actively sticking its head out of its nest.

"You little ones, dare to challenge the majesty of a dragon," the red dragon opened its ferocious upper jaw, revealing long fangs, a trace of un-dried blood, particularly glaring on the dragon's teeth.

The booming dragon roar laughed and said, "In the face of the power of the dragon, what's the use of having more of you!"

Before the dragon opened its mouth, these mortal armies could not distinguish the dragon's gender, but with the sound of a female tone sounded, many warriors realized that this red dragon, which had done so much evil, was actually a female dragon.

That also meant that the girls who had been looted to the evil dragon's nest might have already been buried in the mouth of this evil dragon.

"Damn evil dragon,"

Ellis couldn't help but gnash his teeth, he ordered, "Legion prepare! Follow the plan and attack!"

But the female red dragon was just bluffing, she flew out of the cave and flew into the sky, her sixteen-meter body cast a shadow, quickly moving away from the ground.

咻, 咻, 咻,

The urgent and clamorous sound of breaking wind was much faster than the speed of this young female red dragon, and the turning dragon-hunting crossbow had been adjusting its angle, and at this time it launched a deadly attack.

Sixteen huge dragon-hunting crossbows instantly obliquely covered the direction in which the young red dragon was rising, forcing the young red dragon to fall to a low altitude.

轰隆,

The huge nail cannons were also launched from the barrel, these nail cannons not only carried powerful power themselves, enough to penetrate the scales of ordinary dragons, but also the thorns iron net attached to the nail cannons would also embedded into the gap under the dragon's scales, restraining the dragon's actions.

吼,

The young red dragon let out an angry roar, converged its wings, and used magic and strong wind to instantly sink its huge body, dodging a row of dense dragon-hunting crossbows' deadly attacks.

Manic dragon breath spewed from the female red dragon's fangs, and the massive impact actually caused several nail guns carrying thorn iron nets to become skewed, deviating from their firing trajectory and scraping against her wings and abdomen.

But at this moment, a huge magic circle suddenly appeared on the ground, and chains of runes and magic intertwined around the female red dragon's body in an instant.

The female red dragon roared, and her immense power tugged at the restraining chains of the magic circle, pulling the streaks of light taut.

Each of these fist-sized magic chains was strong enough to easily restrain a galloping steed, and there were no fewer than dozens or hundreds of chains wrapped around the female red dragon's body.

Even so, several of the magic chains creaked as if they could not withstand the female red dragon's immense power and might break at any moment.

This shows how great the dragon's power is; it is an absolutely terrifying opponent in the face of ordinary creatures.

But the sound of the dragon-hunting crossbow being cranked alerted the female red dragon.

The female dragon roared and landed on the ground to avoid becoming a completely exposed live target in the air.

The female red dragon looked at the druids on the ground draped in animal pelts, the spellcasters and priests hiding behind the warriors, and the paladins who radiated light and wielded weapons imbued with holy power.

And the blonde female paladin, the most dangerous aura was faintly discernible on this paladin, the blonde paladin's pupils carried intense hatred and disgust, making the female red dragon feel a deadly danger.

So the female dragon raised her head and roared, her whole body's magic power nearly boiling under the pressure of the evil dragon's blood, and a huge force surged from the female dragon's surroundings.

The magic chains summoned by the magic circle on the ground tightly bound the dragon's body, beginning to wrap around the dragon's wings, preventing the dragon from moving freely.

Some chains even began to extend towards the red dragon's neck, head, and dragon horns, trying to restrain the red dragon's terrifying dragon breath.

But under the female red dragon's desperate struggles, the magic power of the temporary magic circle was consumed extremely quickly, and the magic chains of the entire magic circle were actually stretched by the huge red dragon, and were already approaching the critical point of power overload.

So the paladins raised the long swords in their hands, and the holy power and divine power within their bodies began to bloom with glory, "Courage is the song of praise for living beings facing fear!"

The paladins shouted, and the aura of courage from them not only endowed them with the spirit of never fearing fear and evil, but also spread this courage to their teammates, helping their companions resist the dragon's dragon's pressure.

"Holy Strike!"

The paladins shouted, and slashed at the female red dragon.

The spellcasters' spell strikes also instantly targeted the red dragon's huge body, falling down.

Dragons, especially red dragons, are virtually a walking war machine.

Whether it's the dragon's steel claws or fangs, they are sharper and tougher than these warriors' weapons. The scales on the dragon's body not only have physical defense, but also have resistance to magic.

Although the female red dragon's movements were restricted, her body was too large, so the spellcasters' spells would not have a chance to miss.

But the spells of several low-level mages fell on the female dragon's body, barely breaking the pure magic shield on the female red dragon's body, and then completely dissipated their power.

Only enchanted weapons with holy energy added by the paladins could cause damage to the young red dragon, but the attacks of the two paladins were completely blocked by the red dragon's claws and teeth. The fighting skills inherited from the dragon allowed every dragon to be born with excellent close combat abilities.

The three hundred elite warriors in Modier territory stood by 엄阵以待(엄阵以待: in full battle array) on the periphery, not participating in the close combat attack. On the one hand, it was to prevent the red dragon from escaping, and on the other hand, it was because Iris did not want her legion to be damaged.

These teams recruited with gold coins could be compensated with more money even if they were damaged, but the consequences of the territory's legion being damaged were more serious than that.

The spellcasters blessed the druids with magical shields. Two wandering druids rolled forward and transformed into a huge bear and a vigorous eagle in the red dragon's breath.

Under the entanglement of the two powerful druids and the bear meat shield, the young red dragon began to be distracted.

The adamantine long swords in the paladins' hands could break through the red dragon's scales and pierce into the dragon's tough muscles.

Although a sword wound was nothing to the dragon's huge size, as time accumulated, the female red dragon had begun to show signs of weakness under the restraint of the magic circle.

Scorching dragon blood began to flow and gather under the female red dragon's body, becoming pools of steaming springs, and the evil dragon's rage had completely occupied the female red dragon's brain and pupils, the blood-colored crimson was particularly ferocious.

Roar, the female red dragon spat out explosive dragon breath, forcing back the paladins, and the huge dragon claws slapped back the bear druid, the muscles under the scales suddenly bulged.

With a crack sound, the magic chains summoned by the magic circle finally reached the limit of their load-bearing capacity and began to show signs of breaking.

The paladin Iris lightly lifted the heavy sword hanging diagonally on the horse's back, about to make a move.

For the knight Iris who had reached level sixteen, the young red dragon was also an extremely dangerous opponent. He could seize the opportunity to kill the dragon, but the dragon could also kill him.

But Iris could only make a mistake once, and the dragon could make many mistakes.

This is the natural advantage that dragons have when facing most races.

But the immense dragon might spread, and a dragon more terrifying than the young red dragon suddenly appeared.

The blonde paladin removed her humanoid form and transformed into a huge gold dragon, raising her head roaring.

Iris surprised said, "Naloya?"

But the adult gold dragon had already charged away, and the huge dragon horns carried unparalleled power, directly knocking the angry female red dragon completely overturned to the ground.

Bang, the female gold dragon, more resentful than the angry female red dragon, firmly stepped on the red dragon's body, the front claws firmly embedded in the red dragon's forelimbs, the huge fangs appearing, close to the red dragon's throat.

Cold words sounded in the female gold dragon's mouth: "Is this how the country that the silver dragon Chris yearns for is indulging these evil dragons? How ridiculous!"

"Let go of me, you despicable gold dragon, roar, how dare you help humans deal with me?" The female red dragon roared and struggled, but trapped by the chains of the magic circle and suppressed by the more powerful gold dragon, she was just struggling in vain.

The female gold dragon Naloya's huge claws fiercely slapped on the red dragon's cheek, interrupting the female red dragon's roar.

"If you make another sound, I will kill you," naked murderous intent emerged in the gold dragon's pupils, not only from the old grudges and blood battles memories between metal dragons and color dragons, but also from the hatred of that night.

Facing the threat of death, the furious red dragon barely calmed down. Although metal dragons rarely kill color dragons, even in hostile situations, there are metal dragons who specialize in hunting color dragons.

However, the female gold dragon's threat was interrupted by the paladin Iris. Iris jumped off her horse, carrying the dark black heavy sword lying between the female gold dragon's bared fangs and the female red dragon's neck.

"What do you mean, Iris?"

The female gold dragon Naloya turned her head, dazzling gold eyes with hostility staring at the powerful paladin.

" Excuse me for speaking frankly, beautiful and majestic gold dragon, Your Excellency Naloya," Iris looking serious said: "Although gold dragons are a symbol of kindness and justice, the Northern Continent is not a place you should govern."

"This red dragon, although I wish I could kill her, cut off her head, hang it on the city gate, warning all evil dragons,"

"But those who can kill dragons are only dragons, and those who can execute dragons are also only dragons!"

Iris lightly said: "The Northern Golden Empire's numerous dragon kings are the adjudicators who can judge these evil dragons, and the Northern Golden Empire's supreme ruler of the world Gogmora is the掌控者(掌控者: controller who determines the fate of these evil dragons."

"Although you are a dragon, everything races and creatures living in Modier are not dragons!"

"《龙之法典(《龙之法典》: The Dragon Codex)》 has not become law in Modier, but it has become an untouchable benchmark in our hearts!"

The female gold dragon Naloya was shocked by the influence of the Northern Dragon Kingdom, and at the same time with disapproval and incomprehension. She frowned her between the eyebrows fine scales, "Are you just allowing this evil dragon to leave, even if she has harmed your people, plundered your wealth, just for the sake of expelling her away?"

The paladin Iris shook her head, with deep meaning looked at the gold dragon, softly said: "The world is not formed by strength, but by various factors, so there is space for weak existence like Modier,"

"But the main order of the world is determined by strength, so we need to respect the opinions of those strong people."

"The Northern Dragon Emperor is the strong person whose wishes we must obey!"

Iris sighed said: "As for this evil dragon, we will send it to the Northern Golden Empire to be dealt with by the Gogmora dragon group."

The female gold dragon Naloya somewhat incredulously asked: "Are you not afraid that the Gogmora dragon group will protect this evil dragon, what about the losses suffered by your territory, what should be done about the dead girls that died?"

Iris instructed the subordinates to use anti-magic chains bind the trapped red dragon, then turned around and answered the gold dragon's question.

"欲戴皇冠，必承其重(欲戴皇冠，必承其重: If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight). The crown of the Dragon Emperor has been crowned on the Northern Emperor's head, so he must bear the burden,"

The paladin Iris gently waved her hand, forced a smile said: "You have come from afar and do not understand the matter, but the Northern Dragon Emperor is not an ordinary dragon. All the Northern kingdoms know this, and they are fearing this."

The female gold dragon Naloya raised her head and gazed into the north.

If the silver dragon Chris is a moth to a flame, then what about her!
