A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 764: Chapter 434: Iron Dragon Envoy, Bloodkin Reunion, Mysterious Legend (2)

He looked at the Red Iron Dragon and asked, ”Gordon has sent a contact request. Do you have time to respond now?”

Galos continued to gaze into the distance and said, ”Yes, I can.”

The next moment, the blood linkage was skillfully established by Solrog.

Gordon’s voice, filled with excitement and urgency, immediately resonated in the consciousness of Galos and Solrog.

”My dear brothers! Great news! I have officially received approval from the Lothern Royal Court to attend your founding ceremony as one of the kingdom’s emissaries!”

”Haha, it’s been a hundred years! A full hundred years!”

”I can finally return to that familiar wilderness, see you with my own eyes, and feel that free wind!”

Over the years, through the blood linkage, Gordon had heard countless legendary stories about his kin’s battles and development in the wilderness.

Now, with the opportunity to personally return to the wilderness, Gordon’s excitement and anticipation had reached a peak, almost overflowing.

He calmed his emotions slightly but still spoke with enthusiasm, ”And I intend to take this opportunity to officially break away from the Lothern Kingdom, stay in the wilderness, fight alongside you, and never go back!”

Upon hearing this, Solrog immediately restrained his smile.

His tone turned serious and stern as he said, ”No, Gordon, staying in the Lothern Kingdom is more beneficial for our entire Dragon Group.”

He knew Gordon’s nature and understood that he had not taken on many substantial responsibilities in Lothern.

However, as a blood kin of the Ignas Dragon Group, his very presence in the Lothern Royal Court symbolized a friendly and cooperative relationship between the two sides, carrying a certain political significance.

Moreover, given Gordon’s somewhat unreliable nature, there wasn’t an important position suitable for him back in the wilderness.

He was better suited to remain in Lothern, serving as a mascot to maintain the relationship.

”No! I’ve had enough of Lothern, the daily banquets, and insincere formalities. I want to return to the wilderness! I long for unrestrained freedom! I crave battle!”

Gordon stubbornly insisted.

At this moment, the Red Iron Dragon spoke up, ”Gordon, by staying in Lothern, you can serve the Dragon Group better.”

He simply stated this without further explanation or persuasion.

Oddly enough, after hearing Galos himself speak, Gordon’s previously excited and stubborn attitude suddenly made a 180-degree shift.

”Alright! Since you say so, Galos, I’m willing to continue staying in Lothern for the sake of the Dragon Group’s great cause!”

He said, almost without any hesitation.

The reason was quite simple.

Recently, after experiencing certain events, Gordon had a vague realization that he might not be destined to achieve great feats as he once thought.

Clinging tightly to his increasingly mysterious brother’s coattails might be the best choice.

The Red Iron Dragon continued, ”You can still come as Lothern’s emissary. I’m looking forward to our long-awaited reunion.”

Gordon immediately became excited again, ”I’m looking forward to it too! I’ll definitely prepare a generous gift!”

Finally, just before the communication was about to end, the Red Iron Dragon’s eyes narrowed slightly, as if he remembered something, and added, ”Hmm, by the way, convey a message to the Crystal Princess for me. Ask her if there are detailed records or archives about the ’Messenger of Good Fortune’ Aliya in the intelligence library of the Lothern Kingdom.”

For some matters, it’s time to have a clear resolution.

Meanwhile.

Theo Kingdom, Exotic Territory Strategy Headquarters.

In a study decorated with heavy oak wall panels and a massive military map hanging on the wall.

Marquis Marcus stood motionless in front of the large map of the Northern Wilderness, with his back to the room’s door.

He held a glass of deep red, expensive aged wine, yet he hadn’t taken a single sip. He merely swirled the crystal glass unconsciously.

He gazed at the map, murmuring softly, ”Molten Iron Kingdom, Ignas Dragon Court....”

Marquis Marcus’s voice was low, chewing over those names, filled with barely concealable displeasure and deep apprehension.

The Theo Kingdom has the broadest border with the Northern Wilderness.

For a long time, the kingdom leveraged its powerful military strength and unique geographic advantages to secure enormous benefits by maintaining wilderness resources and ensuring border security and stability.

They enjoyed seeing and worked to maintain the wilderness in a chaotic yet generally controllable state.

This state made it easiest for them to divide and draw in the creatures of the wilderness, reaping huge profits or diverting certain internal conflicts and pressures.

The previous setbacks in the wilderness had damaged the kingdom’s prestige, but they were still within an acceptable range.

However, the imminent establishment of a kingdom ruled by a Legendary Red Iron Dragon in the Northern Territory changed the situation entirely, catching the Theo Kingdom’s upper echelons’ full attention.

It felt like sitting on pins and needles, like having a bone stuck in one’s throat!

The position of the Northern Wilderness in the eyes of the Theo Kingdom was somewhat akin to how Galos viewed the Eternal Frost Tundra.

The founding of the Wilderness Kingdom was not good news for them.

This meant the kingdom’s long northern border would now directly face a highly centralized organization, unified in will and immense war potential, instead of scattered barbarian tribes that were easy to provoke into fighting each other!
