Beneath the Red Dragon

Chapter 551: Chapter 50: When the Breeze Rises (Part 2)

"Seeing how easily the Golden Dragons are blinded by shallow vanity and pride, I am both pleased and disappointed," the Ancestral Red Dragon said blandly. "I am a dragon, naturally I hope to take pride in my identity as a dragon, but your performance makes me very ashamed."

"Perhaps, in the future, dragons like you should be demoted from the group of True Dragons. Future True Dragons should be distinguished by spirit and wisdom, not shallow lineage and scale color."

"In the future world, there will only be one kind of True Dragon, not ten kinds of True Dragons."

"How dare you, how dare you disrespect the Dragon God’s favored ones, disrespect the noble Golden Dragon Race like this,"

The vertical pupils of the Ancestral Golden Dragon Oblash suddenly enlarged, as if struck by a Mind Storm. For Oblash, proud as an Ancestral Golden Dragon, the innate arrogance from the Golden Dragon’s Blood and the authority of pride once possessed could not compare to the arrogance displayed in the bland words of the Red Dragon before him.

In that instant, the Ancestral Golden Dragon Oblash suddenly understood why the authority of arrogance he believed infused in his bloodline could be extracted so easily by this Ancestral Red Dragon.

Oblash, as if driven mad, shook his magnificent dragon head and screamed in shock, "You will be punished, Karon Gogomola. You will also pay the price for the deepest arrogance in your heart."

"You trap me here; my father and mother will not let it rest. The Southern Good Dragon Alliance will not easily forgive you. Your empire and you will be doomed because of your actions!"

"Southern Good Dragon Alliance? Haha, I know who they sent, when they started, and where they are," the Ancestral Red Dragon stepped into the Royal Palace, leaving his words echoing in the ears of the mind-defeated Ancestral Golden Dragon.

"Restricted by the times and environment, I understand the narrowness of your mind, but to destroy my empire with the force you speak of—it’s not enough!"

Upon stepping into the Royal Court Hall, the roars of the Ancestral Golden Dragon Oblash outside were already isolated. The maids in the hall had presented exquisite sweets to their master and the Imperial Judge.

Precious metals and a large goblet of wine, but this wine was not made by ordinary people; it was Elemental Potion formulated by the research department according to the growth and development of each Giant Dragon, extracted and condensed into an entity of pure Elemental Power using a small Elemental Plane Core.

The small cup of Elemental Water before the Giant Dragons was enough to supply Low Tier Mages for months of practice and use, and in the market, it could sell for at least dozens of pure Gold Coins.

But this was merely a side dish in the daily six meals of the Giant Dragon Lords.

As the two dragons casually enjoyed desserts, they engaged in idle chat.

The Imperial intelligence network recently reported news from other regions.

The most noteworthy to the Giant Dragon Lords was the former Gata Empire Emperor Charal Cesar, who, under the pretense of the Dragon Group by his Nobility subordinates, seemed to have received some secretive support.

Daring to actively wage war even while surrounded by enemies.

The Reconquista Army personally led by Duke Charal Cesar, amassed soldiers from his land, expanding to five legions, totaling eighty thousand troops, advancing south and north, sweeping and uniting, unstoppable.

Within merely half a month, they had already broken through two Duke’s Domains, eight Earl’s Domains, and twelve Viscount’s Domains, executing the Nobility on-site, causing panic among the Nobles of the Northern Lands.

Nobles of all sizes have begun to put aside their battles, planning to reunite to repel this ambitious former emperor, fearing their families might be extinguished by the resurgence of this emperor too.

"This Duke Charal is truly a remarkable human," Ocean Dragon Naxson sighed. "Even after the empire’s collapse, he can rise again. It seems in the short term, those scattered Nobility cannot withstand his advancing forces."

"But in this case, those Nobility united against the empire cannot focus their energy here either; that’s a benefit at least."

Seated upon the throne, Karon sipped the rich Elemental Water and said lightly, "A ruler capable of establishing a powerful nation naturally possesses exceptional qualities."

"Sometimes I speculate, maybe that Charal Cesar indulges his Nobility’s actions for some purposes, but human hearts are often uncontrollable, even an emperor cannot fully control them."

"That’s why he messed up!"

Ocean Dragon Naxson nodded. According to the imperial intelligence system’s reports, this Duke Charal indeed appeared to have his own plans.

On the reconquered lands, he had abandoned the Nobility Confederation system, instead adopting a clear imperial governance system akin to the Golden Empire. Compared to the Golden Empire’s unique system, Charal’s implementation was more detailed and clear, completely unlike a system temporarily imitating the Golden Empire.

As the two dragons chatted leisurely, several more dragons arrived at the Royal Court Hall, including the closest Imperial Minister of Propaganda, Red Copper Dragon Alfred, and the Administrative Governor, Bronze Dragon Alina.

Along with two White Dragons, Sloraka and Ronnie, who patrolled the imperial waters regularly.
