"Everyone stop it."
The deep voice of Red Iron Dragon and the cry of Immortal Bird sounded in the sky at the same time, cutting through the din of wind and rain.
After receiving clear orders from the leaders of both sides.
Covering the battlefield like a dark cloud, a huge flock of birds, composed of countless eagles, ferocious beasts and monsters, quickly dispersed in all directions, revealing several Young Dragon and Young Adult Dragon that had been besieged for a long time.
Many new cracks and scratches were added to their scales.
There are also some bleeding wounds of varying shades that are slowly healing. The breath of Dragon Blood is mixed in the rain.
But overall, these are just innocuous skin injuries, far from serious injuries.
The giant dragons held their heads high and their chests high, Dragon Might vigorous, and their breath was still strong and hot, as if they had just been engaged in a warm-up exercise rather than a fierce battle.
On the other side, the number of birds has visibly decreased.
Many corpses with disheveled feathers or blackened bodies were scattered in the jungle mud below.
Ocean, with its sharp claws and wings, had indeed briefly overwhelmed the dragons with its numerical advantage.
However, their individual attacks have limited power for dragon scales. On the contrary, when they are attacked by the dragons' Dragon Breath, sharp claws, tail strikes and other ranged counterattacks, once they are hit from the front, they are often killed or crippled, and their wings fall to the ground.
To be fair, this Eagle Legion is not weak.
There are many of them and their levels are not low.
If they can really go on and on, regardless of losses, and never have a nervous breakdown, they will fight the dragons Blood War to the end, until the end.
Relying on the huge numerical advantage and cooperating with those elite individuals with outstanding strength.
There is indeed a high probability that they will eventually fight with the dragons to the point of losing both sides, or even be so tragic that they both die together.
However, unless they are completely enslaved and controlled creatures, they will definitely become frightened after massive casualties, and it is difficult for them to reach this level.
Garos flapped its wings and hovered, looking at the slightly dim Immortal Bird next to it.
He asked, "Do you have a name?"
Immortal Bird nodded slightly and elegantly combed the somewhat messy feathers on his body.
Highly intelligent creatures like her basically have their own names, which is also one of the key signs that distinguish intelligent creatures from ordinary monsters.
"Anqiya·Phoenix."
She replied, her voice still clear, but a little less arrogant than before.
According to ancient legends, all Immortal Bird are derived from the same great ancestor - his name is [Phoenix].
Therefore, the Immortal Birds of later generations all took Phoenix as their shared surname and passed it down from generation to generation.
This is somewhat similar to Dragon Race.
However, the naturally proud nature of dragons usually outshines Immortal Bird.
When many powerful dragons reach a certain pinnacle of achievement that can bring glory to their family, they often choose to cut off their previous inherited surnames, leaving only their own unique names as the origin of their new bloodline, so that future generations can remember and pass it on.
For example, the surname of the [Ignas] branch to which Garos belongs comes from a certain ancestral dragon.
That was a powerful existence that surpassed Legendary Realm and stepped into the life of the Immortal Realm.
As long as you don't encounter unexpected disasters or die in battle, you may still be alive in some distant plane, or maybe in Material Plane, but because Primeval Dragon will be subject to many rules in Material Plane, the probability is low.
There are not many specific records about the Ignas ancestor in Dragon Inheritance, it is more like some vague legends.
Among them, what impressed Garos the most was a message left by this ancestor himself:
[My name is Ignas. I arrived at the Legendary Realm when I was an early adult at the age of 123]
He became the Legendary Realm dragon almost as soon as he reached adulthood.
This is enough to prove how talented this Ignas ancestor is.
The reason why this message is particularly impressive to Garos is that in the inheritance, the bottom of this message seems to be a message board.
Subsequent generations of Ignas Dragonkin will leave behind what they consider to be the most outstanding and worth-talking deeds when they come into contact with this part of the inheritance.
[Alvarez, once during the Adolescent Dragon period (15 years old), he leapfrogged and defeated a Young Adult Stage Gold Dragon]
[Clara, a magic genius! When he was still Dragonling, he mastered and awakened all the magic-like spells that could only be understood in adolescence in advance]
[Ortiz, hum, he once successfully kidnapped princesses from thirty-two different kingdoms before he was a hundred years old! Record holder]
[...]
And so on, all kinds of things.
This piece of information about the achievements of our ancestors seems to have become a stage for the younger generations to show themselves and even compete with each other.
When Garos has his own direct descendant in the future, he can also leave his own treasure of knowledge in this Dragon Inheritance.
Of course, he can also leave the most noteworthy and glorious deeds in his life here.
For example: Black Oil that other dragons find difficult to swallow, he can drink as water; he dares to practice the fatal weaknesses that other dragons dare not exercise; he can eat gems that other dragons have a hard time eating, and he can eat them as snacks.
He can write about all the achievements in a certain field that are unprecedented and unprecedented.
If one day, his power is strong enough to surpass the named Ignas ancestor.
Then, he can also erase his name and turn his name into this Dragon Vein new surname, so that thousands of future generations will always remember his existence. This is a great honor for Dragon Race.
Back to business.
Garos gathered his divergent thoughts, waved his huge dragon wings, and turned to fly to another battlefield.
Immortal Bird Anqiya let out a cry and led a flock of eagles to follow. Several other giant dragons also flapped their wings and followed the leader.
the other side.
The chase and fierce battle between Amethyst Dragon Lion Ennus, Sacred Spirit Deer, and Beholder has also come to an end.
Beholder's wrinkled spherical body has been torn into pieces, and the broken limbs and stems are scattered on the ground. The viscous body fluids are mixed with dust and soil, and it is impossible to die anymore.
Its remains contained the burning Holy Energy breath, as well as traces of tearing and gnawing by huge lion claws and fangs belonging to wild beasts.
And the most fatal blow lies in the huge main eye that has been pierced.
A solid light spear is still firmly nailed to it. Although the light of the spear body has gradually dimmed, it has not completely dissipated.
Sacred Spirit Deer is still alive, but the situation is not good.
Amethyst Dragon Lion Ennus is lowering its strong body, firmly pressing Sacred Spirit Deer to the ground, making it unable to get up.
Its huge mouth full of fangs hangs on Sacred Spirit Deer's slender neck. The sharp tip has pierced the snow-white fur and torn open the flesh. The soft white light of deer blood is slowly oozing out.
There are some ferocious beasts and monsters loyal to Sacred Spirit Deer around who are trying to rush over to rescue him.
But they themselves have long been blocked by the Molten Iron Legion like iron barrels, and they have no time to take care of themselves.
[Sweet little snack, feel happy.]
[If it were during the time when I was king, you would have become the most delicious dish on my dining table. I will savor your warm and delicious flesh and blood]
Amethyst Dragon Lion's low roar carried Psionic Energy fluctuations, directly reaching Sacred Spirit Deer's ears.
"Despicable lion! You just took advantage of the moment when both me and the evil spirit were hurt and exhausted, and you were lucky enough to gain the upper hand!"
"If you and I were in our prime and had a fair fight, I would beat you to pieces and make you kneel down and beg for mercy."
Sacred Spirit Deer struggled unwillingly.
But every time it exerted force, Dragon Lion's claws penetrated deeper, causing bursts of severe pain.
Suddenly, Amethyst Dragon Lion released his hold on Sacred Spirit Deer, took a few steps back, squatted down, and licked the deer blood stained on his sharp claws.
Sacred Spirit Deer immediately wanted to struggle to get up and escape.
But just as it stood up, before it could move away, a wave of Dragon Might, far deeper than Dragon Lion, spread like a substance, pressing heavily on its body, stagnating its movements.
It raised its head and looked at the towering dragon shadow in the sky, a trace of fear and hesitation flashing in its eyes.
After struggling for a moment, it finally chose to stay where it was, just uneasily digging its hooves into the muddy ground beneath its feet.
Garos lowered his huge head and scanned the messy battlefield.
[leader]
Amethyst Dragon Lion Ennus makes a low and respectful roar, conveying the general meaning through Psionic Energy.
[I severely injured Beholder. I wanted to keep it alive and wait for you to deal with it personally, but this Sacred Spirit Deer seized the opportunity and got ahead of me, giving the evil demon a final blow and killing it]
It briefly reports on the situation.
Garos folded its wings and landed slowly in front of Sacred Spirit Deer. The shadow cast by its huge body almost completely enveloped it.
"Now, there are only two roads before you."
He got straight to the point without any detours and gave Sacred Spirit Deer the two simplest choices.
Surrender, or die.
Sacred Spirit Deer was silent for a few seconds, and its huge, branch-like horns drooped slightly.
It finally made a choice, its first two knees covered with white fur slightly bent, and it slowly knelt down in the mud, while lowering its head deeply.
"I... will surrender to you, mighty Dragon Lord."
"Very good, get up."
Garos spoke calmly and motioned Sacred Spirit Deer to stand up.
Sacred Spirit Deer stood up, glanced at Amethyst Dragon Lion who was squatting on the other side, licking his paws with unfinished content, and then looked firmly at Red Iron Dragon.
"Great Molten Iron King, before I formally pledge allegiance to you, could you please agree to a small request?"
It paused, raised its hoof, pointed at Amethyst Dragon Lion unceremoniously, and continued, "When I fully recover, I will have a fair, one-on-one duel with this lion who takes advantage of others!"
"The loser must consciously bow his head in front of the winner and show his kindness, and his status will be lower."
Garos's eyes turned to Amethyst Dragon Lion.
From the perspective of a bystander, Amethyst Dragon Lion Ennus obviously has a greater chance of winning.
It has stronger physical strength and is good at using Psionic Energy to assist in violent battles.
In contrast, Sacred Spirit Deer's various abilities are actually more focused on treatment, assistance, purification and Holy Strike. They are not specialized in frontal combat, and have no restraint effect on Amethyst Dragon Lion.
If placed in a legion battle, Sacred Spirit Deer can play a more strategic role than Amethyst Dragon Lion.
But if it's a one-on-one duel, Amethyst Dragon Lion's winning rate is at least 70%.
However, this is just Garos's rational judgment.
Obviously, the annoyed and angry Sacred Spirit Deer himself did not think so.
[Chief! I am looking forward to this duel very much!]
Amethyst Dragon Lion couldn't wait to growl and agreed. At the same time, he opened his big mouth in the direction of Sacred Spirit Deer, revealing his sharp white fangs.
[Innocent little snack, your courage is commendable]
[But this does not change the fact that in my eyes, you are always just a delicious prey]
Hearing the other party's continuous low growls, Sacred Spirit Deer wrinkled his nose in disgust.
It couldn't help but said, "Savage and vulgar lion."
"Is it possible that you have great power, but you can't even speak like an intelligent creature, and you can only roar like the ignorant Beast?"
"Huh, ignorant."
Amethyst Dragon Lion Ennus spoke clearly and unmistakably this time, refuting Sacred Spirit Deer's question, proving that it was not impossible, but just didn't want to.
"That's enough."
Garos's deep voice sounded, interrupting the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two.
He looked at Sacred Spirit Deer and asked, "Tell me your name."
"Lucy."
Sacred Spirit Deer replied.
"Lucy, and Anqiya."
Garos's eyes swept over Sacred Spirit Deer who had just surrendered, and Immortal Bird who was hovering in the sky with restrained flames. He announced in an unquestionable tone, "You two will enjoy the same status as Dragon Lion Ennus."
"You will serve as a lord under my command, continue to lead your original ethnic group, and govern the territory you are familiar with."
"However, rights and obligations are equal."
"You must meet all the prerequisites I have made and be loyal to the Molten Iron Tribe."
"..."
He roughly repeated the conditions he told Ennus before.
Including giving up the king's title, accepting garrison, providing troops and resources, responding to recruitment, etc.
Finally, he asked in a deep voice, "If you have any objections to these conditions, you can raise them with me now."
Immortal Bird Anqiya carefully waved the right fire wing and said, "Molten Iron Legion stationed in my territory, I hope to be composed of creatures that are more in line with aesthetics and better-looking."
"Like some shiny, beautiful creature, or at least something other than Ogre or Gnoll."
She pursues the appearance of her subordinates.
Garos's eyes sharpened instantly, and Dragon Might condensed slightly.
I ask you to mention it, do you really dare to mention it?
"Okay."
Red Iron Dragon suddenly grinned and showed a kind smile.
"As long as you can survive ten minutes under my hand, I will agree to your small request."
Anqiya's feathers exploded, feeling the danger behind that smile.
She quickly shook her head and retracted her head. "No, no! I didn't say anything just now."
"Pretend I didn't mention it, and everything will follow your arrangements."
On the other side, Sacred Spirit Deer Lucy and Amethyst Dragon Lion Ennus were both very sensible and silent without any unnecessary expression.
They know very well that being able to retain their existing territory and autonomy is already a great gift, and they should not have any further thoughts.
Immediately, Molten Iron Tribe's family members moved skillfully and began to efficiently manage the battlefield, collect loot, and treat the wounded.
After the death of Beholder, the creatures enslaved by it Psionic Energy have regained their sanity, but most of them are due to serious injuries or mental exhaustion caused by the previous crazy battles, so there are very few survivors, and they are all in an extremely weak state.
Regarding the final death of Beholder, Garos did not feel the slightest regret in his heart.
Also a creature that controls the mind, Beholder's nature is more inclined to evil slavery and absolute control.
This is essentially different from Amethyst Dragon Lion using Psionic Energy as a combat auxiliary means.
The existence of Beholder itself is an extremely unstable source of danger. If it stays in the tribe, no one can guarantee that it will secretly and unknowingly enslave and control other dependents.
This will be a huge hidden danger.
Moreover, in the mainstream world's concept, demons from Lower Planes or other worlds are usually considered to be more dangerous and evil than Evil Dragon.
Taking in a Beholder will undoubtedly confirm the identity of the Molten Iron Tribe from the evil camp.
This is very detrimental to the future development of the tribe.
Wow!
The heavy rain in the sky continued to pour down tirelessly, washing away the corpses and wreckage scattered on the battlefield, diluting the blood that flowed freely, but it was difficult to completely wash away the heavy blood color for a while.
Molten Iron Tribe's dependents are like worker ants busy in the rain, cleaning up the battlefield.
After explaining some important matters regarding follow-up integration, reporting and defense points to the two new lords, the dragon group and several lords said goodbye one after another and returned to their respective territories.
