Beneath the Red Dragon
Chapter 418 - 4: Imperial Rule Begins Today!
The onlooking crowd did not hesitate to shower praises and applause, and they all called out together, then pounded their chests at the heart, saluting these respectable warriors.
These legion warriors, each one emerged through blood and fire, with an imposing presence and unyielding will, are the most steadfast shield, the most unbreakable spear of the Dragon Group.
Row after row of legion warriors made many of the noble spectators with cooperative relations with the Dragon Group turn serious.
These warriors, even among the elite legions maintained by the nobility, it is rare to find soldiers comparable to the Dragon Group legion warriors in terms of quality.
This is the innate advantage of monster species, further endowed with strict discipline and loyalty by the Dragon Group, enough to crush any hostile forces’ legions.
Even those relatively slender Beast Knights, riding beasts, the green-skinned and Kobold, appeared to possess exceptionally firm fighting will.
"With such powerful and loyal warriors, it is no wonder the Dragon Group can achieve final victory in wars against the Beastmen. The powerful Giant Dragons paired with a mighty legion are simply unstoppable!"
This is the common thought arising among the nobles and outsiders.
Vampire Count Renis was surrounded by vampire species warriors clad in a simplified version of Nightwalker Armor, looking at the fierce edges of the Giant Dragon Corps, unable to hold back a sigh.
"What a peculiar Dragon Group, possessing wise Giant Dragons. The realm he commands is destined to rise in this wasteland; such loyal and formidable legions, if they were in my hands, I would dare to covet even the Vampire Duke!"
A few people with hair dyed in colors even more dazzling than the scales of various Giant Dragons stood within the crowd, like members of gangs formed by transport laborers in Golden Harbor, squeezed together, whispering with wide-eyed amazement.
Because behind these solemn legion formations, came the final procession led by Ancestral Red Dragon, Supreme Lord Karon Gogomola.
Karon strode at the front of the Dragon Group, entered the city, passing through the surrounding crowd. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
During these years of slumber, his innate ability "Superlimit State Growth" had been continuously active. Even though many energies and nutrients were used for adjusting body form and evolving body structure and organs, his body still reached nineteen meters.
Six dragon horns like twisted knots of power highlighted his nobility and might, the majesty of Ancestral Red Dragon deliberately restrained yet the aura from his bloodline still appeared domineering.
And the restrained demeanor was like a monarch, solemn and unfathomable. The gigantic and beautifully strong body brought a sense of oppression and allure, making the voice of all the crowd miraculously fall silent simultaneously.
The Golden People bowed their heads to their monarch in the highest respect. Then in the silently rising song of the giant dragon, they lifted their heads anew, singing praises of the dragon’s rule.
Outsiders also followed suit, the mysterious Song Dragon at this moment lowered its own head and in its melodious throat sang the ancient dragon ballads, harmonizing with the dragon’s song.
"This is the Red Dragon King, also known as an Overlord-level creature, indeed extraordinary and imposing. Such perfect visage, even the ancient vampire bloodline in me involuntarily feels worshipful,"
The blonde-haired youth sang the melody along with the Golden People but communicated secretly with teammates.
"Prior battles showed this terrifying Red Dragon hadn’t transcended the limit of life level into the realm of legend; logically, he should belong to the same tier as us, yet why do I feel he could crush us with a single slap."
The yellow-haired girl stopped chewing, feeling such an act was disrespectful to the inspecting monarch under this atmosphere.
"Nonsense, sometimes the disparity between individuals can be even greater than the difference between humans and dogs," the white-haired youth silently dealt a harsh blow to his teammate, "The gap between us and him might be larger than between a dog and a human."
"Looks like even our previous idea of trading with this Red Dragon Monarch is infeasible, such an entity, only what we have behind us can qualify for transactions with the Red Dragon," the purple-haired youth silently dealt a finishing blow.
They watched the majestic Ancestral Red Dragon step pass with Blue Dragon Akzhi and Bronze Dragon Alina following behind Karon, Ocean Dragon Naxson and Red Copper Dragon Alfred successively behind.
This was Karon’s recognition of these dragons for presiding over territorial achievements during the Dragon Group’s slumber, also representing his attitude as a monarch not to intentionally distinguish various True Dragon species.
These dragons were calm enough in temperament, yet the vanity naturally brought by the dragon bloodline still afforded them satisfaction; they lifted their heads proudly amidst the cheering and complimenting crowd, nodding occasionally in response, demonstrating the dragon lord’s approachability.
These Metal Dragons, as lords, naturally garnered more favor from ordinary people.
Blue Dragon Akzhi, though an aggressive Five-Color Dragon, in years of ongoing wars, this fervent and fearless dragon commander had won much admiration.
Following them were the young dragons of the Dragon Group, walking side by side.
Camid’s two heads were curiously looking around, incessantly. During youth, White Dragon Camid always adhered to Karon’s teachings, sleeping nearly all days, just to grow swiftly.
