Chapter 769: Chapter 126: The Arrival of the Giant Dragons_2 Chapter 769: Chapter 126: The Arrival of the Giant Dragons_2 “Soldiers! Do not be afraid, that is merely a false illusion! It is the evil dragons’ shameless intimidation!”

The soldiers of the Allied Forces, listening to that powerful voice and looking up at the majestic and radiant figure, finally managed to calm their emotions and muster their courage once again.

“I knew it… How could such giant dragons exist.”

“Yes, it is indeed the enemy’s conspiracy.”

“The people of Fadlan will not be frightened!”

Although the terrifying giant dragon looked incredibly real, as if it was about to bear down upon them, the soldiers still believed in the words of Duke Walter because of his prestige.

Walter swung his longsword, pointing its shining tip towards the distant giant dragon, and declared in a resonant voice: “Soldiers, I have followed Lord Aragon to conquer the Multiverse and spread the glory of Amanata.

In countless battles, I have faced far more formidable foes than this: Stellar Behemoths, Hell Demons, abyssal demons… but no one felt terror, because–we are the proud Fadlan People!

Remember, this battle is not just for survival, but for dignity, for the blood and sweat of countless predecessors, and for our descendants to soar under the peaceful skies of Fadlan…”

“Ridiculous—-”

A booming voice came from afar, interrupting Walter’s speech, as the Red Dragon illusion slowly opened its mouth, a ferocious smile appearing on its enormous face.

The Red Dragon illusion shook its head, sighing as it said: “Fadlan was indeed an empire worthy of respect, it’s just a pity–that it has long been dead, thoroughly and utterly dead, dead beyond any hope of revival.”

“Silence! Shameless evil dragon!” Walter exclaimed indignantly: “You shall not insult Holy Fadlan! Nor shall you covet our territory!

We, the people of Fadlan, are children of the great Sun God, as long as the sun does not set, and the light of Amanata remains, the Empire of Fadlan shall forever exist in this world!”

“Sun God? How dare you mention Him?”

Cassius sneered scornfully, then with a mocking tone said: “Do you not yet realize? Your Lord Aragon, the Emperor known as ‘Son of the Sun’, has committed a heinous crime of blasphemy against the deities.

As for you, you are nothing more than sinners abandoned by the divine, like a pack of greedy dogs gnawing on the corpse of the empire, yet claiming to be the successors of Fadlan, truly… it’s utterly laughable.”

His voice echoed over the North Aisier Plain, reaching into the ears of the soldiers, and for some reason, they felt an inexplicable sensation–the words of the Red Dragon seemed quite persuasive, convincingly so.

At this moment, Walter was completely furious, his golden eyes as if about to ignite, a torrential blaze of rage erupting from within.

“Vile slander! Damn you, evil dragon, how dare you defame Lord Aragon!”

His voice was shaking with anger, his entire body trembling violently, and if earlier he was opposing the Red Dragon from the stance of the Duke of North Aisier.

Then now, his attitude towards the Red Dragon was complete and utter hatred! He wished he could chop off that massive head and sever those four horns!

This Red Dragon dared to insult Aragon the First, the only Emperor of Holy Fadlan!

It was shaking the foundation of Fadlan! Denying the legality and legitimacy of the Empire!

Walter’s eyes blazing, he gritted his teeth and declared: “Red Dragon, you should feel fortunate, if it were twenty years ago, your head would have been chopped off by the Divine Descendant Legion led by His Majesty!”

“Long live Lord Aragon!”

“Evil dragon! You shall not defame the Emperor!”

The soldiers were also outraged, waving their weapons to show respect for their Emperor.

“Damn these humans! They are insulting His Majesty Cassius!”

“Kill them!”

“I will flatten this city and trample the ashes of the Fadlan Emperor beneath my feet!”

The soldiers of the Empire were also restless and fiercely attacked the Allied Soldiers, even using loudspeakers, with both sides embarking on a fierce verbal battle across the air.

However, the Red Dragon was not angry, only stating emotionlessly: “But your Emperor has already turned to ashes in the wrathful flames of the sun, and I, Emperor Cassius of the Ashen Empire, stand before you, about to become the ruler of North Aisier.”

A hundred years ago, the Empire of Fadlan subjugated the Aisier Kingdom with its formidable military power, seizing this land.

And now, we shall do the same, an act in line with the world’s developmental trajectory. In this regard, the Ashen Empire is far more qualified than you to be the spiritual successor of Fadlan.

Heh, you ought to be delighted by this, for your Fadlan has finally found a truly worthy successor.”

“Don’t even think about it! The Fadlan People will never become your slaves! If you want to take over North Aisier, you’ll have to step over our corpses!” Duke Walter once again brandished his longsword, his tone resolute.

“Cruel Five-Colored Evil Dragons! Your acts of invasion will be nailed to the pillory of history!” Gold Dragon Titus raised his head and roared, his accusations righteous and vigorous.

“Red Dragon, I shall make you understand the importance of order and justice–in the name of Heaven.” Balachiel held the Lightning Blade, his voice booming like thunder.

Cassius looked down at the earth indifferently with his pale golden eyes, his gaze sweeping over Divine Descendants, Gold Dragons and Angels, then spoke calmly: “Whether you agree or not, I do not care, nor do I wish to know.

I am only here to inform you: from now on, North Aisier belongs solely to the Ashen Empire, and anyone who attempts to stop this will be utterly destroyed.

In other words–what does your destruction have to do with you?”

The voice of the Red Dragon grew louder and louder, eventually transforming into an astounding roar, as its massive shadowy figure suddenly expanded, turning half the sky red, and becoming a sky-high sea of raging flames.

Suddenly, an unprecedented wave of heat surged violently, sweeping across the land, igniting the wild grass, and spreading sparks and thick smoke far and wide.

Following that, the music finally reached its climactic crescendo, the soldiers of the Ashen Empire let out thunderous cheers, their battle cries and neighing piercing the heavens, instantly drowning out the crackling sounds of the flames.

“Conquer–”

“Charge, all forces!”

“For the Ashen Empire! For His Majesty Cassius!”

In an instant, the massive cannons on the ground fired in unison, countless shell arcing gracefully through the sky, forming a dense barrage that fell around Collins City.

“Boom!”

The steel beasts roared and thundered, galloping unimpeded across the flat and open plains, causing the earth to shake violently, trembling with a series of dull moans.

The dragons in the sky spread their wings and dived toward Collins City, their hoarse roars filling the air with chaos.

On the ground, a multitude of Skeleton Dragon-Serpents slithered and wound their way, with Corpse Demons and Skeletons advancing beneath the cover of dark clouds, the scent of death drifting toward Collins City on the northern winds.

The army composed of Fire Drakes, Fire Lizards, Fire Dwarfs, Fire Giants, and other Fire Elemental Creatures followed the spreading wildfire, with thick smoke continuously advancing, assaulting the Allied Forces.

…

At the rear of the Ashen Empire’s army formation, Cassius opened his pale golden eyes and, with his robust, muscular limbs, propped up his fifty-meter-long colossal body, then spread his wings behind him.

The Red Dragon raised its head, looking at the increasingly intense warfare in the distance, dismissively exhaling a puff of sulfur-smelling white smoke.

“Fools who overestimate themselves, it seems this war will soon come to an end…”

Next to him, a silver-haired girl holding documents hesitated for a moment, but still came forward and quietly said: “Cassius, your actions just now were scarcely different from those infamous evil dragons of our race that I recall, exactly as described in our clan’s records.

Are you… really still seeking justice and order?”

Cassius first laughed softly, then sighed, speaking somewhat “helplessly”: “Of course, Olivia, my original intention has never changed.

It’s just… These fellows stand in the way of my pursuit of a new order, they have become my enemies, hindering the development of the world, and I am compelled to eliminate them.”

Olivia did not speak again, knowing that the Emperor’s mind was almost unchangeable.

But after a moment of silence, she pleaded softly: “There’s one of our kin among the Allied Forces–the Gold Dragon who holds justice in his heart. He probably didn’t mean to stand in your way, Cassius, can you spare him?”

“Of course, you should know… I’ve always been the most compassionate towards my kin.”

The corners of the Red Dragon’s mouth lifted slightly, and a strange light flickered in those golden vertical pupils.
