A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 678: Chapter 411: Rumors About the King of Molten Iron (Part 2)

”Caution and steadiness have always been our primary principles of action, and are of the utmost importance.”

He paused for a moment, then continued in a more forceful tone, ”The Mountain King and his Giant Tribe have long remained entrenched in that mountainous territory, rarely venturing out, with behavior that is unusually low-key. We still don’t know what they are planning deep in the mountains.”

”Moreover, there is an unstable Abyssal Rift in that area.”

”These are all things we must be vigilant about; we must not become complacent due to a temporary advantage in power.”

Listening to the conversation among a few blood relatives, the Red Iron Dragon spoke up.

”The mountains in the Northeast Region are steep and not suitable for deploying legions in conventional warfare.”

”It has been some time since I killed a legend, yet the Mountain King remains very quiet, with no response, which in itself is not very normal.”

”He may have something to rely on, or he is preparing something.”

”To be cautious, I will not choose to go and suppress them alone.”

He pondered for a second before finally issuing the order: ”In this case, pick a portion of followers to accompany me. Their main task is to clean up the battlefield, take over the Northeast Region after the battle, establish a stronghold, and maintain order.”

”Before that, I will personally lead the Dragon Group, along with three Lords, to attack the Mountain King and strive to capture him in one fell swoop.”

The perilous mountain terrain cannot obstruct the soaring of the giant dragons, nor can it affect the powerful lords.

They are fully capable of clearing obstacles for Galos in a short time, resisting the interference of the Giant rabble, and creating an environment for Galos to focus on fighting the Mountain King.

As for the accompanying followers...

Frankly, aside from a few strong leaders, the ordinary follower soldiers can do very little at this level of combat.

It’s like the legions that follow a human Legend.

For Galos today, the value of followers mainly lies in maintaining post-war order and territory management.

Of course, this work of maintaining stability is equally important.

Otherwise, how can a limited number of Dragon Groups effectively govern an ever-expanding territory?

Additionally, given Galos’s growth rate, if they hope for the Affiliated Legion under them to play a more significant role in the future, acquiring and mastering Military Array Magic becomes very critical.

Military Array Magic is a type of magic specifically developed for large-scale warfare.

Through complex arrays, specific rituals, and resonating runes, it links and aggregates ordinary soldiers. As long as the legion is large enough, it can form a gigantic collective energy comparable to a Legend.

During the previous civil war in the Southern Countries, Military Array Magic played a remarkable role.

Unfortunately, such powerful war magic is regarded as core secrets by all major kingdoms and is tightly controlled.

If the Molten Iron Tribe wants to acquire it, there appear to be only two paths at present.

One is to rely on themselves, investing a long time and massive resources in independent research and exploration. The other is to find a way to obtain it from the recently allied Lotheren Kingdom at some cost.

Meanwhile, upon hearing Galos’s final decision, the three dragons reacted differently.

Solrog calmly said, ”Alright, let’s do it that way. I’ll be responsible for summoning the Dragon Group and notifying the other lords.”

Gordon, dejected, said, ”Hmm... I’ll cheer for you from the Royal Court, waiting for the news of your triumphant return.”

Samantha exclaimed excitedly, ”Awesome! I can’t wait any longer! Those giants will be completely buried by our Dragon Group!”

After a brief exchange, the Dragon Group’s thoughts quickly aligned.

And this ”alignment” always culminates in Galos having the final say, as the Ignas Dragon Group has almost blind admiration and trust in him, rarely defying his final decisions.

Therefore, Galos, in meetings, often does not present his ideas first.

He prefers first to listen to the opinions of other blood relatives, drawing valuable suggestions or discovering overlooked flaws, and finally, combining all the information, issuing the most prudent orders.

Soon, the discussion about the strategic attack came to an end, and the mental network was closed.

The Red Iron Dragon flew into the blizzarding sky, stretching his enormous wings, and performed various high-difficulty rolls, dives, and sudden stops in the biting wind, revitalizing his body.

As he paused, a snow-white Dragon Shadow flew over.

It was the White Dragon Trish.

Upon approaching, she first congratulated Galos for his legendary kill.

This congratulation was entirely heartfelt because with Galos’s ecological niche and reputation skyrocketing, she, as one of the earliest core followers, also saw her position rise significantly, and this time the extent of the rise was immense.

Immediately, she shifted the topic to report on her task’s progress.

”The Giant Dragon Academy we talked about earlier has already been fully completed.”

”It is located in a particularly severe area in the Border Area, perfect for honing the young dragons’ will.”

With a slight pause, the White Dragon Trish joyfully flicked her long tail, revealing sharp teeth.

She grinned, ”In the future, all the young dragons in the tribe will receive a more systematic, stringent education and... discipline in this academy.”

”I believe they will be trained into dragons useful to the tribe.”

This period, this period, she led many dragons below youth in building the Giant Dragon Academy.

Just a few days ago, the project was declared wholly completed.

Galos said, ”Alright, when I have time, I will personally inspect it.”

The White Dragon Trish nodded and then said, ”By the way, I initially planned to name it the White Dragon Academy, but after careful thought, I felt the name was not quite suitable, so I came up with a new name.”

The Red Iron Dragon, with interest, asked, ”Oh? What’s the new name?”

Under his gaze, the White Dragon Trish solemnly responded, ”To name it directly after you—Galos Academy.”

”This way, all the young dragons who study and grow in this academy from the very first day can always remember who they are loyal to and whom they will fight for.”

Hearing this, the Red Iron Dragon was first slightly stunned, then chuckled softly, his deep laughter echoing in the wind and snow.

”Good, that’s a nice name.”

He approved this naming.

After a moment, as usual, Galos had Elf Dragon convey the message of his going to the wilderness, then flew towards the Sel Wilderness.

The execution ability of the giant dragons is beyond question.

In less than a day, the Dragon Group participating in this crusade action, as well as the three summoned lords, had gathered at the designated location.

Besides the Ignas Dragon Group, there was also the Dominican Dragon Group who had submitted to them.

All the present dragons were at least of the young dragon echelon, radiating fierce auras all over.

And among this multicolored Dragon Group, there was a particularly striking golden figure.

Golden Dragon Nasha.

The Red Iron Dragon’s gaze fell on Nasha, asking, ”Are you sure you want to participate in this operation?”

The Golden Dragon nodded, eyes brimming with eager fighting spirit.

She eagerly said, ”If it’s an ordinary territorial dispute among other races within the wilderness, I truly am not interested. But the opponent being giants? Ha, that’s different.”

”I am most willing to fight alongside your Dragon Group, making those giants recall the fear once dominated by the Dragon Wings.”

The struggles within the wilderness are mostly for survival resources and territorial dominance, generally unrelated to good or evil factions. Most orderly and kind Golden Dragons would choose to stay out of it.

However, once it involves giants, the situation is entirely different.

In the Second Era of united biological races resisting the giant dragon hegemony, the Giant Race once stormed at the forefront as the vanguard.
