After Gordon made his violent remarks, the entire Mind Network fell silent.
Iron Dragon Sorog, who has always been calm and steady, couldn't help it anymore and said, "Is there a possibility that all this is just because you have too many random thoughts after you are full and full?"
He spoke slowly, carefully choosing his words, trying to wake up Brother Long and bring him back to reality.
This Dragon Brother was adopted by human Royal Court and grew up in a pampered environment. Perhaps the biggest setback and ups and downs he has ever experienced are how to fight against his overly plump body and strive to lose weight.
Although he did work hard for this, his relatively more powerful posture is proof of this.
But compared with other blood relatives who struggled to survive and grew up step by step in a wilderness full of dangers and scarce resources, his experience still seemed too innocent and smooth.
The inherent pride and arrogance that belongs to Dragonkin's nature is still particularly obvious in him.
Even more inflated because of the lack of enough realistic beatings.
Gordon is now very convinced of his theory, and believes that he is the dragon that Destiny Rank belongs to, and is not shaken by Sorog's rhetoric.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
His conscious body waved its claws in Mind Network and said so.
In fact, from a certain level, Gordon's thoughts are exactly the common psychological portrayal of many arrogant dragons.
There are too many contents about the glory and power of Dragon Race recorded in the inheritance.
From the moment most Dragonkin emerge from their shells, they subconsciously believe that the whole world should revolve around them.
This kind of cognition often requires a head-on blow from cruel reality before it gradually wakes up like being doused with ice water.
Sorog and Samantha, including Garos who had to fight for survival during the Hatchling Dragon period, all of them had more or less similar, self-centered cognitive stages.
The biggest difference from Gordon is.
After experiencing many ups and downs and seeing the vastness and cruelty of the world, they have all clearly recognized the reality.
The world does not turn around easily due to individual will.
If you want to realize the grand blueprint and ambition in your heart, you must put in a lot of hard work and effort.
Even though they may not reach the destination they expected in the end, they still choose to move forward.
The journey itself is the meaning of their existence.
At this time, the red dragon Samantha let out an undisguised sneer, breaking the brief silence.
"Gordon, according to what you said, you can go back to the fat pig you were before."
She had a cold face and her tone was as sharp as a knife. "Since you are so convinced that you belong to Destiny Rank, then of course you don't need to do any hard exercise or boring training. Just eat and sleep honestly, eat and enjoy, and let your so-called "Destiny Rank" achieve all the "amazing" achievements for you!"
Samantha keenly feels that Gordon is looking for a high-sounding excuse for laziness.
Seeing changes in his body shape before, Samantha thought that this dragon brother had finally grown up, but now it seems that his essential dragon background has not changed at all.
Regarding this incompetent Brother Long, she couldn't help but feel irritated and disappointed in her heart.
However, what Samantha never expected was...
Iron Dragon Gordon did not go as smoothly as she expected, but shook his thick neck firmly.
"You made a mistake, Samantha."
He responded solemnly, "Exercise, training, these hard practices, not only cannot be stopped, but are absolutely necessary."
He paused and continued, "I don't think Destiny Rank is a gift that will be fixed forever, once and for all."
"I am indeed the dragon that Destiny Rank belongs to now, but it is precisely because of this that I have to work hard to be worthy of Destiny Rank's favor, and I must not be slack or complacent because of this."
"Otherwise, this precious Destiny Rank favor will sooner or later be transferred to another place, or... disappear completely."
Hearing these unexpected remarks, Samantha couldn't help but be stunned, and a trace of astonishment flashed across the huge dragon's face.
Then, she opened her mouth, as if she wanted to laugh out of habit, but as soon as the smile appeared, she immediately withdrew it, and said in a more ferocious tone, "Idiot! What are you talking about that are contradictory? When we meet in the future, I will have to smash your stupid head to pieces, so that you can understand what the cruel reality is!"
Samantha said angrily.
Gordon was naturally not to be outdone and immediately retorted, "Come on! Who is afraid of who! The food Ben Long has eaten over the years is not in vain! It has long been transformed into strength!"
The two were like a ignited powder keg, arguing fiercely.
The words were tit for tat and refused to give in to each other.
For this familiar scene, Garos has long been accustomed to it, and his heart is not disturbed.
As early as the Dragonling period, because the time of breaking out of the shell was very close, the two dragons had always been in this state of fighting and arguing, neither one being convinced by the other.
"Nasha and Alberto, the Gold Dragon siblings are now in the wilderness. What are they doing recently?"
Garos ignored the noisy pair of dragons next to him and threw the question to Iron Dragon Sorog.
"Alberto has been wandering around our Molten Iron Tribe's territories, observing and recording."
Sorog answered meticulously, "According to what he said, he wanted to "observe and refer to" the operation model and management system of our tribe."
"I agreed to his request and used this as a condition to let him occasionally appear publicly in important gathering places like Creekwood Territory and say some lines we designed in advance. This can be regarded as using his Gold Dragon reputation and image to endorse our tribe."
"As for that Gold Dragon Nasha, she has no interest in running a territory or managing affairs."
Having said this, Sorog feels a little headache.
"This Gold Dragon... is too belligerent. After arriving in the wilderness, he completely let himself go."
"In the name of martial arts exchanges, she challenged and "communicated" with almost all the famous members of our dragon group, as well as Dominic's Blue Dragon, and powerful subordinate leaders like Kalu."
"Day by day, she is either fighting or on the way to find a target to fight with."
Sorog continues to add explanations.
Nasha usually does not wear her iconic gorgeous armor when communicating with dragon members and dependent leaders in combat.
Faced with Life Level's opponent who is obviously inferior to her, she will deliberately suppress her own strength and speed and try to pursue a fair competition. But even so, Gold Dragon's powerful fighting skills and physical fitness in martial arts are by no means comparable to that of ordinary Dragonkin or her dependents.
The consequences of communicating with her are often not very pleasant.
"However, things have gotten a little better recently."
Sorog changed the subject, with a hint of luck. "She has become familiar with several other lords in the wilderness recently, and now she goes to them for fighting and communication when she has nothing to do, which reduces the harassment to our dragon group."
At this point, his voice paused, and then he whispered, "Although it has solved a lot of troubles for the tribe, it seems that these Gold Dragon siblings are not normal."
Needless to say
Normally Gold Dragon can hang out with the Evil Dragon group, but even Dragon Realm doesn't want to go back?
Garos thought to himself.
At this time, Gordon, who had just finished a round of quarrel with Samantha on the other side, suddenly seemed to remember something and intervened.
"By the way, someone just seemed to ask me how my relationship with Crystal Princess is going?"
His fluctuations in consciousness were instantly full of embarrassment. "I can tell you clearly that the relationship is going very smoothly!"
"I'm sure it won't be long."
"I, Gordon, who belongs to Destiny Rank, can have a noble princess who belongs to me!"
Who asked you?
Garos and Sorog carefully recalled their previous exchanges, and they were both very sure that no one had asked about this issue.
At this time, the red dragon Samantha seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world.
She couldn't help laughing, "Crystal Princess? Hahaha!"
"Gordon, don't you realize that based on the actual age of that human woman, in the short-lived human race, she can already be called "Crystal Grandma"!"
"Does getting a crystal grandma make you so happy and proud?"
She continued to sarcastically say without mercy, "Those really powerful Evil Dragon, the princesses they kidnapped were all young and beautiful girls, as young as blooming flowers."
Gordon heard this and immediately snorted coldly.
He retorted righteously, "What do you know? Superficial!"
"A true beauty is like a fine wine stored in a cellar. Only after years of precipitation and fermentation can it exude a richer and more mellow fragrance and charm!"
As they talked, the two dragons started arguing fiercely again around the topic of aesthetics and princesses.
Red Iron Dragon directly shifted his gaze, no longer paying attention to the endless debate, looked at Sorog, and asked about the business, "During the twenty-nine years that I have been sleeping, has the tribe always been in peace with the other two Regional King, Mountain King and Mushroom King, or has there been occasional friction?"
Iron Dragon Sorog immediately calmed down and responded with concentration.
"On the whole, the situation is basically peaceful."
"Both Mountain King and Mushroom King are content to defend their existing territory and have shown no intention of external expansion."
"The only exception was the period when Abyssal Rift suddenly appeared in the Northeast region. Giant under Mountain King seemed to have some changes and showed certain signs of expansion."
"As Abyssal Rift was suppressed, those Giant quickly returned to their usual stable state and no longer had any transgressions."
On the premise that one's own resources are sufficient, it is undoubtedly an extremely stupid decision to rashly start a war with other Regional King who are quite powerful.
Blindly pursuing war will only continue to drag down one's own development and accumulation.
Whether it is Mountain King or Mushroom King, they are obviously creatures with high intelligence. After obtaining the territory and resources they want, choosing to develop peacefully and digest the results is a perfectly normal and rational behavior.
At this time, the war about the princess between Samantha and Gordon gradually subsided.
Adhering to the pure concept of having fun fighting, Samantha set its sights on Red Iron Dragon.
"Garos, since you have woken up and have gone through such a long period of dormant evolution, you must have become stronger than before. Why don't we just take this opportunity to officially start a war with the other two Regional King!"
"If you are sensible, let them obediently submit to our Molten Iron Tribe rule; if they dare to resist violently, then simply crush them! Turn them, along with their ambitions, into ashes and dust in the wilderness!"
Samantha shook his head excitedly.
"Kill them and capture all areas of Ser Wilderness in one fell swoop! By then, our dragon group will be the only Overlord in this vast land!"
"At that time, my title, Red Dragon Queen, will be worthy of my name."
"And you, my dear brother, will be crowned the well-deserved King of the Wilderness. All creatures in the entire Ser Wilderness, regardless of race, strong or weak, will kneel under your wings and offer you loyalty and awe!"
She raised her head high, as if she had seen the scene of victory.
These bold words describing the future were indeed quite good. Even Garos couldn't help but feel a little hot in his heart after hearing it, as if he saw the magnificent scene of his own reign in the wilderness.
However, he quickly suppressed this thought and calmly shook his head.
"Now is not the right time to start a full-scale war with other Regional King." Red Iron Dragon said calmly.
Samantha Dragon had a puzzled look on his face. "Why? I think the time is right now. The tribe has been silent for so long and needs a great battle to revitalize its reputation. And you have just woken up, and you also need a glorious victory to announce your return and shock everyone!"
Red Iron Dragon said, "The enemy we need to pay attention to most right now is not in the wilderness."
He paused and continued, with a hint of solemnity in his tone. "Southern Kingdoms's civil war that lasted for decades ended with the dissolution of Lothern Federation. This matter is definitely not a good thing for us."
"Without the cover of war, the wilderness will inevitably re-enter the sight of all countries."
"At that time, we will no longer face a few Regional Kings, but the strong men of the kingdom who have Legendary Realms, who once suppressed the natives of the wilderness like hanging swords."
Three years have passed since the end of the Civil War that engulfed the South.
This time may be long or short, but it is enough for those kingdoms that were lost in the war to take a preliminary breath of relief and redirect some of their attention to the outside world.
Garos estimated in his heart that it won't be long before some principalities, or even stronger kingdoms, will notice Regional King who have occupied large and fertile areas of the wilderness.
It's even possible that the other party has noticed it.
It's just because of the cumbersome decision-making process of the human kingdom and other things that need to be dealt with that large-scale actions have not been taken for the time being.
When he woke up this time, the tribe did not catch up with the imminent danger and trouble.
The timing is pretty good.
At least it gave him time to prepare for the coming storm.
If it were a few years later, faced with the organized clean-up operations of various countries, Molten Iron Tribe, without a leader and lacking unified command, might be forced to abandon the large areas of foundation it had laid in the wilderness and retreat first to Borderlands, or even to the more distant tundra.
"Other Regional King, as long as they are not stupid, they must also understand this truth."
Iron Dragon Sorog echoed, his idea coincided with Garos.
"That's why we have been able to maintain basic peace and harmony with each other over the years."
"The enemy we really need to rack our brains to find a way to deal with is never each other, but Southern Kingdoms."
After hearing what the two said, Samantha also realized the crux of the problem and the potential huge crisis.
She quickly restrained her burning desire for war and became cautious.
"Southern Kingdoms... In our expansion over the years, we have often destroyed and occupied the bases they established in the wilderness."
"It would be too bad if all the principalities and kingdoms saw us as a thorn in their side and made trouble for us."
"Fortunately, Heriam has been sent to the tundra to expand territory."
"If something goes wrong here in the wilderness, it's good to have a place to move to and stay away from the danger for a while."
Having said this, Samantha couldn't help but sigh, swung his tail irritably, and said with unwillingness, "But the thought of giving up the huge foundation that I have built in the wilderness for so many years... really makes me unwilling!"
The red dragon's IQ and strategic vision are actually not low.
It seems calm now, but according to Garos, the tribe has actually come to the forefront. Facing a powerful kingdom, whether the tribe fights or retreats, it will be a decision that will have a major impact on future development.
At this time, Garos, as the leader of the dragon group, slowly spoke.
"I will not abandon the wilderness until absolutely necessary."
He said, "Now that Lothern Federation is disbanded, the nominal rights of the countries to rule the wilderness no longer exist. This is a free land, and whoever can take it depends on his own ability."
"It has just been three years since the war ended, and most of them have too much time to take care of themselves."
"Moreover, for Southern Kingdoms, which has a vast territory and intertwined interests, the development and conquest of the wilderness is only one of the many aspects they need to pay attention to, and is not the current focus."
"We don't need to be afraid of ordinary principalities."
"If a certain kingdom is targeting us, don't be too nervous. The kingdoms are no longer monolithic, and there is plenty of room for maneuver."
Feeling the consistent calm spirit of Garos, the uneasiness and anxiety of several blood relatives gradually calmed down.
As long as this Molten Iron King, the Lord of the Dragons, still exists, they will dare to face any storm.
"But the premise of all this is that I am capable of defeating Legendary Realm"
Garos did not say this last sentence in Mind Network, it just echoed silently deep in his heart.
If it is completely unable to compete with the Legendary Realm, it will be just a roadside to those kingdoms. It cannot compete with the Legendary Realm. It is not even qualified to negotiate. Want to deal with countries? At least you must have a certain amount of capital.
