Red and Silver (II)
) With violent space fluctuations, several space portals appeared in the clouds behind Oszedro.
"Elder, is it him?"
"Is that the evil dragon that is ravaging the North?"
"We will protect the peace here! In the name of Mellward!"
Silver Dragon emerged from the swirling clouds one after another, hovering behind Ancient Silver Dragon, letting out neat and majestic low roars to cheer for the elders they respected.
A pair of silver wings flapped, reflecting sparkling light in the sky.
There are also Cloud Giant and Storm Giant standing above the clouds, using their own powerful Spell-like Abilities to control the surrounding climate changes, maintaining the realm of howling cold winds, and preventing the intrusion of the scorching influence of Red Dragon.
"Your Highness 'Dragon Prince', we Faria Clan are ordered to come to help you!"
"Roar! The extremely shameless Metallic Dragon!"
"Master, that silver-skinned dragon is so arrogant! You need to show him some color!"
Behind Red Dragon, thirteen ferocious Blue Dragon from the Faria Clan headed by Christina followed one after another, and the atavistic White Dragon Tinia, whose size was comparable to the ancient White Dragon, soared into the sky.
These Chromatic Dragon all raised their heads, opened their mouths, and let out a powerful roar. Their momentum was no weaker than that of the Silver Dragon on the opposite side.
Behind these Five-Colored Dragons, there were hundreds of Wyverns waving their wings chaotically and making hoarse, mocking roars.
Red Dragon and Silver Dragon were facing each other in the air. Behind them were their families and the areas they controlled.
This is no longer like a simple war between the Embers of the Burned Kingdom and Northern United Kingdom, but more like a miniature version of "Dragonfall War" between Metallic Dragon and Five-Colored Dragon.
The two giant dragons standing at the top of Material Plane looked at each other from a distance, with only each other's figures in their eyes. Everything else was meaningless in a battle of this level, and could only be called a dispensable foil and embellishment.
"Is this Oszedro?"
"It didn't disappoint me. He was a difficult enemy."
Keosius flapped its wings, its pale golden vertical pupils staring closely at the huge Silver Dragon.
[Silver Wing-Oszedro]
Challenge Rating: 25 (75000xp)
This is the most powerful enemy he has faced so far.
This Ancient Silver Dragon is more than 30 meters long and has almost reached the pinnacle of the Silver Dragon race. Even in the field of hand-to-hand combat that Red Dragon is best at, he probably won't be able to take advantage - let alone spells.
If you observe carefully, you will find that almost every scale of this Silver Dragon is engraved with complex magic runes, forming hundreds of spells on the surface of the body.
This is what Oszedro spent thousands of years carving and accumulating as "Spell Hoarder". This is a mental illness for ordinary dragons, but this Ancient Silver Dragon enjoys it.
Its claws are covered with magic rings, and its wrists are all adorned with fine gold and mithril bracelets.
Its silver back and the gaps between the scales on its abdomen are dotted with sparkling gems. These are life-protecting gems that protect the wearer's vital parts from fatal injuries.
The most eye-catching thing is Silver Dragon's chest.
A metal disk was fixed to its chest by a ribbon that passed through the forelimbs. Twelve magic stones of different colors were inlaid on the edge of the disk. The center of the disk was engraved with patterns of stars and nebulae - that was Holy Symbol of "Lord of the North Wind" Bahamut.
The phrase "armed to the teeth" is a particularly appropriate description for this Ancient Silver Dragon.
Because he really did it.
A complex metal device called "Dragon Jaw" is worn in Silver Dragon's mouth. Several silver teeth with "Sharp Teeth Spell" protrude outside, and its tip Blink has an aura that can pierce protective spells.
In front of this Ancient Silver Dragon, who was armed to the teeth and exuded arrogance, even Keosius, who had always been proud of his abundant financial resources, felt ashamed and deeply felt the poverty of having only a few pieces of legendary equipment.
Above the clouds, Oszedro's smooth, bright plate-shaped face was also full of solemnity.
"'Dragon Prince'Keosius"
He examined Red Dragon in the distance, complicated magic lines flashed through his mercury ball-like eyes, and a trace of pure appreciation for the power of the dragon could not help but emerge.
——Even Silver Dragon, Red Dragon's old enemy, he had to admit that even in his long life of thousands of years, this Red Dragon would rank high.
The opponent's super giant body was almost the same as Ancient Red Dragon's. Even in terms of shape, Red Dragon's muscled dragon body was even stronger.
Red Dragon's body exudes an unimaginable majestic Life Force. The four ferocious horns on the top of his head spiral upwards, and the dragon crystal on his chest contains terrifying energy. The vague Bloodline Pressure is like those Progenitor Dragon in the dragon family's inheritance.
But after all, he is a young dragon. Red Dragon seems to have only a few legendary-level equipment on his body. This also makes Ancient Silver Dragon feel an inexplicable sense of superiority in his heart. The dragon's desire to compare with wealth is satisfied at this moment.
He is a bit poor.
But that's not the point.
Oszedro It was hard to imagine that this was still a dragon in its youth, or even younger, but the fact was right in front of him, and he could even feel the other party's hot breath.
"Bahamut Your Majesty and Divine Revelation are not wrong. This is a Aberrant Dragon with unlimited potential."
"We must never let him fall into the arms of Tiamat!"
"Otherwise - it will be a complete disaster for all Metallic Dragon, and even all Prime Material Plane creatures that follow goodness and order!"
Ancient Silver Dragon thought this way, his eyes became more determined, and there seemed to be waves surging in his mercury ball-like eyes.
A loud scolding came out of his mouth like thunder, making everyone present become serious.
"Cruel and savage Red Dragon!"
"Destiny has given you great power, but you don't cherish it."
"For your own selfish interests and ambitions, you broke the thousand-year order between humans and dragons, destroyed the balance of Prime Material Plane, and jeopardized the peace and stability of the entire Erezege."
"Therefore, in the name of Lord of the North Wind——"
However, his impassioned words were interrupted by crisp applause, followed by calm words.
"Well said."
"As expected of Your Excellency the famous 'Silver Wing' Oszedro, your hypocrisy is beyond my imagination."
Keosius grinned slightly, revealing a smile that was particularly ferocious in people's eyes.
"So - who started this war?"
His tone became more and more passionate, and [Eloquent Speaker] was fully revealed under the influence of his charismatic charm that could distort reality.
"Who launched a despicable and shameless raid on the kingdom's caravan? Who sent tens of thousands of troops to roam the kingdom's territory, and still called it the first line of defense?"
"Who went around squeezing people's wealth, recruiting strong men, establishing military alliances, and single-handedly launched this large-scale war?"
Under his repeated questioning, even Oszedro was speechless and unable to answer. The humans on the ground began to doubt life and even question the legitimacy of this war.
However, Keosius just exhaled a mouthful of Sulfur Scent's hot breath and continued:
"Your Excellency Oszedro, since you are unwilling to answer directly, let me answer this question for you. What I am talking about is the Northern United Kingdom you support, or to be more precise - Northern Nobles headed by the Bosk Family."
Oszedro sneered and said disdainfully, "Sophistication! If the North doesn't take the lead in attacking, will you and your monster kingdom stop expanding? Are the weapons you create that destroy nature only for self-defense?"
But after all, Silver Dragon, who has lived for thousands of years, is second-to-none in terms of his ability to cope with changes and his thick skin.
Keosius couldn't help but laugh out loud. At this point, this sanctimonious Silver Dragon was surprisingly similar to himself:
"Hahahaha, of course not. After all, there are countless people in the North who are cruelly oppressed by the nobles. They are all waiting for the coming of the kingdom, waiting for themselves to regain their freedom and move towards a new and beautiful world."
"Huh, new world?"
"Lies! What you call the new world refers to endless Gunsmoke, piles of corpses in the wasteland, and bloody wars?"
Silver Dragon roared, and as his magical voice came, countless images of the Embers of the Burned Kingdom crushing the coalition forces and the ground being riddled with holes appeared in everyone's minds.
"No, you're wrong."
Keosius shook his head slightly, as if there were flames burning in his pale golden pupils.
"That's the price to pay for a new order."
