A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 772: Chapter 436: Ennoblement, Joy of Ashes, Hidden Danger (Long Chapter) (Part 2)

The core retainer leaders under his command also possess many high-level beings.

Among them, there are monsters close to the mortal limits.

In this regard, although the Ola Kingdom has just been established, its level is already somewhat exceeding, even surpassing some small kingdoms that have developed over the years.

The climate of the wilderness in early autumn carries a hint of chill.

Marquis Marcus of the Theo Kingdom feels his back is about to be drenched in cold sweat.

The claws and muscles exhibited by the Ola Kingdom during this ceremony have made him more deeply aware of the terrifying aspects of this emerging Dragon Kingdom, and have caused his inner sense of crisis to surge dramatically.

He is utterly convinced that if this kingdom is allowed to develop stably in the Northern Territory, as its direct neighboring country, the Theo Kingdom will inevitably fall into continuous turmoil and threats in the future.

”What about those two Legendaries? Where on earth are they? Why haven’t they taken action?”

Marquis Marcus’s gaze frequently and covertly scans the surrounding crowd and the mountains, his mood heavy as if leaden.

Compared to eight years ago, the Red Iron Dragon Emperor has certainly become stronger, and gathered here are so many high-level creatures close to Legendary, along with four Metal Dragons of profound background and clear attitude.

Those two mysterious Legendaries are probably having second thoughts, not daring to act today, here.

”If they really were to act, they might not only fail but instead become the stepping stones to the fierce prestige of the Red Iron Dragon, using their downfall to offer sacrifice for this coronation ceremony...”

He anxiously ponders, immediately a new thought occurs to him.

”Hmm... or perhaps, to ensure nothing goes wrong, they are carrying out a more careful and stealthy plan?”

Marquis Marcus’s emotions fluctuate continuously, unable to calm down.

The enfeoffment ceremony continues next.

Snake Priestess Naris is appointed as Vice Finance Officer and Trade Inspector, assisting Regent King Solrog in managing the kingdom’s complicated accounts and tax systems, inspecting internal and external trade channels, ensuring the kingdom’s wealth flows orderly and efficiently like the snake groups she commands, rather than being wasted.

Great Workshop Master Scott is appointed as Director of Alchemy and Minister of Military Affairs, assisting Industrial Governor Samantha, specifically responsible for the research, standardized production, and daily maintenance of various military and civilian equipment and alchemical apparatus.

Werewolf Russell is appointed as Scout Commander and Shadow Intelligence Officer, commanding all Werewolves and some stealth and assassination skilled followers, responsible for intelligence gathering, battlefield reconnaissance, and counterintelligence within and outside the empire, serving as the kingdom’s most perceptive eyes and deadly hidden fangs.

Flying Dragon Leader Tasha is appointed as the Red Flame Royal City Sky Patrol Envoy, commanding the allied Flying Dragon group, responsible for aerial reconnaissance and rapid support tasks in important areas around the royal city, and maintaining the city’s order and security.

Bear Leader Möbel is appointed as the High Mountain Royal Court Commander of the Imperial Guard, commanding the powerful Violent Bear Race, responsible for the daily defense of the Dragon Court area, guarding the safety of the Giant Dragon Royal Court, forming one of the Emperor’s closest barriers.

......

As each diverse and equally imposing retainer leader accepted their appointments, the governing structure of the Ola Kingdom was further perfected and solidified.

These leaders, each with their own roles, together with the upper echelons of the Dragon Lords, form a comprehensive and efficient governance network covering military, internal affairs, economy, intelligence, ensuring that this emerging kingdom can effectively transition from the loose tribal era to a truly centralized monarchy.

Their existence is all so that Galos can focus on strengthening himself without distraction.

And for Galos, there is only one most important thing.

——To become strong, continuously become strong!

Unlike many traditional kingdoms that exist ”because of the country,” the Ola Kingdom exists ”because of the king.”

It is built around the Red Iron Dragon King, his existence and power are the foundation for the Ola Kingdom’s birth, and its standing strong in the future.

”Gentlemen!”

After the enfeoffment ceremony ends, the Red Iron Dragon Emperor declares with a deep voice, ”The Chapter of the kingdom has already been opened, its future glory and strength will not belong solely to me, but will be forged collectively by us, by each one of you present!”

”For the Ola Kingdom!”

”For His Majesty! For the kingdom!”

All the appointees, whether Dragons or followers, respond in unison with their most enthusiastic voices, the sound waves merge again.

Afterwards, as the sun sets in the west, this grand and unprecedented founding ceremony slowly draws to a close.

And the story of the Ola Kingdom has just begun.

”It seems... my deterrent force is still a bit too strong.”

Galos narrows his eyes slightly, calculating internally.

His gaze like a torch sweeps over the area where the envoys of various countries are, not perceiving the presence of any Legendary powerhouses.

According to the conventions of various countries, without prior consultation and explicit consent from the host, no country will send their national Legends to participate in such ceremonies in other countries.

Each Legend is equivalent to a walking nuclear weapon.

A Legendary powerhouse appearing in the core area of another country without cause would be interpreted as a serious provocation, even a declaration of war.

”Is there really no Legendary hiding in disguise?”

”It’s also possible that the other party has extremely high-level concealment methods, and I haven’t developed characteristics in perception exploration yet, so I failed to discover them.”

Galos thinks silently.

He initially harbored a thought that not actively promoting his rise to the Legendary status might attract some malicious insects at today’s gathering of all parties.
