A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 766: Chapter 435: Rejoice, for the Birth of a King!

Day and night alternate, stars and moon rotate, time passes quietly like sand slipping through fingers.

In the blink of an eye, nearly a month has passed since that shocking declaration which reverberated through the wilderness.

On the vast lands of the Fertile Plain near the Dragon Ridge Mountain Range, a magnificent giant city has risen from the ground, leaning against the mountain with its rugged and formidable contours, showcasing a unique beauty that blends power and order beneath the wilderness’s unique sky.

— Red Flame Royal City.

This enormous metropolis, personally named by Galos, presents a gigantic semicircular layout, with heavy curved outer walls that snugly embrace the steep mountain walls, transforming the naturally majestic bodies of the Dragon Ridge Mountains into its most reliable backside and an insurmountable barrier.

It seems like an iron backbone extending from the Dragon Ridge Mountains.

Tightly guarding the border area between the Fertile Plain and the foot of the Dragon Ridge Mountains.

The entire city is layered distinctly from the outside in.

The outer area comprises the marketplace, workshop district, and neatly planned residential areas, while various facilities including heavily guarded military camps and warehouses stocked with supplies are strategically distributed across the districts as per a meticulous city planning scheme.

The closer to the inner layers, the more significant the status.

Adjacent to the mountain base is the tightly guarded core area, rising in layers.

Here lies the main residence and stationing ground for many elite followers, Dragon Descendants, and heads of the major tribes, closest to the Ignas Dragon Court.

Additionally, this is the future center concerning the kingdom’s order and development related to military, judiciary, economy, and politics.

Functional departments responsible for diplomacy, industry, culture, education, and other affairs are undergoing drafting and continuous improvement of their structure and regulations.

At the beginning of the nation, all industries are awaiting prosperity.

Initially, no matter how meticulous, there will inevitably be many oversights and deficiencies that need to be perfected gradually in the future, unable to be accomplished overnight.

The Giant Dragon’s life is long and unhurried.

Above the Red Flame Royal City, the misty mountain summit and mid-mountain platform are specifically designated for the dragon ruling class’s ’High Mountain Royal Court’ and the ’Ignas Dragon Court’.

Many Dragon’s Nests cut into or built against the mountain slopes are connected to the bustling giant city below through broad spiraling ramps and some hidden interior pathways.

This maintains necessary communication while preserving a sense of detached distance.

At this moment, countless creatures from diverse races have moved into this emerging Red Flame Royal City.

Kobold, Jackal-Wolf Folk, Ogres, Centaurs, goblins... and even many original residents from early human gathering areas like Ximu Territory have, after Galos’s official declaration of kingdom establishment, obtained citizenship of the Ola Kingdom through oath, becoming new members of this giant dragon metropolis.

These diverse intelligent beings with different forms and habits together constitute the multicultural racial foundation of the Ola Kingdom.

Now, this vast city forged by the will of the dragons awaits only the east wind.

It holds its breath in anticipation of the moment its sole dominant ruler is officially crowned as king.

At the summit of the High Mountain Royal Court, the chill wind blew fiercely.

Galos stood quietly at the edge of the summit, looking down at his nascent kingdom.

”What are you thinking?”

Behind him, a gentle inquiry broke the silence atop the mountain.

Galos turned his rugged head, covered in thick scale armor, to see the graceful and beautiful figure of Red Silver Dragon Deborah appear in his vision.

”How beautiful and majestic is the scenery before us?”

Galos did not answer directly; instead, he maximized the spread of his enormous Dragon Wings.

The wing membranes shaded the sunlight, seemingly casting a shadow that could engulf the entire royal city, then he retracted his Dragon Wings, returning to his ordinary form.

”I am thinking about how long it can exist.”

”Will it bloom for only tens or hundreds of years on this land and then wither away, or can it achieve true long-lasting peace, suspended eternally and shining like the scorching sun on the horizon?”

His gaze swept over the Red Flame Royal City and across the vast lands, his voice deep and slow.

”That depends on you, Galos.”

Deborah could clearly feel the fluctuation of the Red Iron Dragon’s emotions at this moment, gently soothing, ”I believe your kingdom will, like you, have tenacious life.”

”It can withstand storms without faltering, growing more robust through enduring trials.”

”As long as you are here, it will endure.”

The Red Iron Dragon extended a strong right wing.

Given the difference in their current sizes, that wing span could easily cover the relatively slender Red Silver Dragon entirely.

He drew Deborah closer to his side.

”I enjoy hearing those words.”

His lips slightly raised, revealing an expression akin to a smile, he said.

Then, in Deborah’s quiet companionship, the Red Iron Dragon remained silent, just quietly gazing down at the vibrant and lively Red Flame Royal City below, overseeing the kingdom territory he was about to officially govern.

Meanwhile, within him, he awaited the arrival of the official coronation moment.

As time passed, the long-awaited day finally arrived as promised.

In the New Calendar year 327, September 1st, early autumn.

As the first ray of dawn pierced the horizon, dyeing the snow-capped peaks of the Dragon Ridge Mountain Range in radiant gold and red, the entire Red Flame Royal City had already fully awakened.

Not even that; more precisely, it had long been in a boiling fervor and anticipation.

Today is the coronation day of Red Iron Dragon Emperor Galos Ignas, marking the official emergence of the Ola Kingdom onto the world stage, proclaiming its existence to all nations.
