"Your Majesty, this vast ice field will soon become a brand new territory on the Aura Kingdom territory."
"You will be crowned a true Lord of the Northern Frontier."
"Ser Wilderness, Borderlands, Permafrost Tundra... From now on, the vast Northern Frontier will be shrouded under your dragon wings! Any existence that dares to disobey your will will be burned to ashes!"
In the biting wind and snow, the two young dragons were full of excitement and awe, expressing their longing for their emperor.
In response, Red Iron Dragon just nodded calmly and glanced across the vast ice field.
"It's too early to talk about this now."
"Let's wait until everything is settled and Permafrost Tundra is truly under control."
His tone was calm, and there was no hint of pride or impatience.
Such a calm reaction made the young dragons admire them even more.
They only feel that their king is unfathomable, majestic and intangible, and his joy and anger cannot be expressed in color.
"King, the self-proclaimed Frost Giant leader has died, but he still has a large Giant tribe under his command, and has unified many scattered tribes and clans on the ice sheet."
"What should we do with them next?"
Blue Dragon Heriam took a step forward and asked in a low voice.
After all, Dragonfang Fortress is just a forward outpost with limited troops. It is difficult for them to fight against the still large Frost Giant with their own strength alone.
Garos naturally knows this.
"The Kingdom will immediately summon a legion to march north to the ice fields, eliminate all discordant voices, and plant dragon flags all over this land."
He said solemnly, already having candidates in mind, "The legion will include the two Lord Level leaders who recently surrendered."
He is referring to Golden-Plumed Griffin and Eight-Snake Leopard.
Now, it is their time to prove their worth and loyalty to the Aura Kingdom.
In the absence of a legendary powerhouse, these two powerful monsters with life levels as high as level 20 and only under legend, coupled with the kingdom's legion, are enough to sweep across the permafrost tundra.
"We will try our best to provide all the necessary logistical support and intelligence assistance to the army heading north."
Blue Dragon Heriam lowered his head slightly and said.
However, Garos slowly shook his head and said, "No, they are only responsible for carrying out combat missions."
"You, Heriam, will be fully responsible for formulating the overall strategy and coordinating the command of the army. Kaxier will assist you." Garos stared at Blue Dragon, continued in a deep voice, "I want you to clean up the remnants of Giant and complete the unification of Permafrost Tundra. After that, the important task of consolidating this territory will also be borne by you."
Blue Dragon Heriam was slightly startled when he heard this. He did not expect that he would be given such an important responsibility.
He said with slight hesitation, "Your Majesty, those two Lord Level leaders are far more powerful than me..."
Heriam and Kaxier are currently both level 16.
Relying on Dragonkin's natural racial advantages, they can compete with ordinary level 17 or even level 18 ferocious beasts Magic Creature, but compared with level 20 creatures, the gap is still huge.
Moreover, the leaders of the Aura Kingdom and Lord Level are all very intelligent, and they may not be willing to obey commanders who are weaker than themselves.
Garos's sharp eyes saw through Blue Dragon's concerns.
He asked in a deep voice, "In our Aura Kingdom, what is the core criterion for measuring status and determining superiority and inferiority?"
Red dragon Kaxier immediately raised his right paw and answered without hesitation, "Power! Absolutely power!"
Garos shook his head slightly, denying her statement.
Kaxier shook his tail in annoyance and began to think hard for other answers.
At this time, Blue Dragon Heriam slowly raised his head after a brief thought and said, "Your Majesty, it is your will."
"In the Aura Kingdom, nothing and no rules are as important as your will."
Under his nervous gaze, Red Iron Dragon finally nodded gently and responded in the affirmative.
"You're right."
"Since I have appointed you to be responsible for cleaning up the ice sheet, then this is what you should do within the scope of your authority. Don't forget why the kingdom is named "Aura"."
Aura Kingdom, respect the dragon and take the dragon as the foundation.
Lord Level No matter how powerful the boss is, he can only show his value under the wings of the dragon.
Moreover, it is almost only a matter of time before pure-blood dragons like Heriam and Kaxier break through to the Legendary Realm realm. While other Lord Level bosses also have Legendary Realm potential, it is still unknown whether they can actually take that step.
Legendary Realm is not easy to achieve.
There are many creatures that are stuck at the level 20 limit and cannot be promoted for life.
"As for how to make those Magic Creature who are temporarily stronger than you obey orders, it depends on your own methods and wisdom."
"If you are not qualified, there are other dragons in the kingdom who can take your place."
Garos was outspoken, giving opportunities and clarifying requirements.
He is willing to give more opportunities to the young dragons under his command, but the premise is that they must show corresponding abilities and value and be able to firmly seize these opportunities.
Blue Dragon Heriam lowered his head deeply.
He solemnly promised, "I will do my best and never let down your Majesty's trust and trust!"
Garos nodded slightly, and then added specific instructions, "Remember, during the cleanup process, pay attention to screening, leaving those Frost Giant who are relatively weak and easy to control, and eliminate those who are unruly, brave and aggressive."
He plans to use a method similar to genetic screening to try to domesticate and enslave some Giant for use by the kingdom.
Kaxier heard this and immediately roared excitedly and said, "Leave the killing task to me! I can't wait to see the ice field dyed red by the enemy's blood!"
After that, Red Iron Dragon briefly explained some details.
Phew!
He vibrated the dragon wings that covered the sky and the sun, and his huge figure quickly rose into the sky, disappearing into the vast snow curtain in the blink of an eye, leaving only the vortex airflow that gradually subsided.
Flying all the way south, the surrounding environment changes quietly.
Permafrost Tundra The thick and violent wind and snow gradually became thin and gentle.
When Garos crossed Borderlands and officially entered the airspace of Ser Wilderness, only some fine snowflakes were left in the sky dancing lightly in the wind.
He lowered his head and looked down.
The earth here is still covered with a layer of silvery winter clothes, but the shallow snow cannot cover up the vitality that is about to emerge in the wilderness.
"The hidden danger of Northern Frontier has been eliminated. Start preparing the army immediately and send troops north to fully take over Permafrost Tundra."
"Legendary Realm Frost Giant is confirmed dead. Now, we no longer need to worry about the Theo Kingdom's surveillance."
Garos conveyed the instructions to Iron Dragon Sorog through the spiritual connection, and then returned directly to the back mountain training ground located at the Dragonspine Mountains.
The battle with the Legendary Realm Frost Giant cost him very little and was just a warm-up to stretch his muscles.
The slight damage to the scales on the body is not a big deal and does not require special rest to recover.
"Eye of True Sight..."
Garos took out Legendary Artifact, which was exchanged from Lothern, held it in his huge paw, and looked at it carefully.
In his opinion, Legendary Realm level props can be roughly divided into three categories.
First, weapons and armor are equipment that is directly used in combat. The effect is simple and crude, and the most significant improvement in real-time combat effectiveness.
The [Ashen Delight] and [Earthshaker] he had fought against before fell into this category.
Second, it is the cutting-edge crystallization of complex alchemy industry and is often a strategic weapon of the country.
For example, those Destruction Heavy Cannon that can threaten the strong Legendary Realm, the powerful War Golem, and the Magic Satellite hanging high in the sky, etc.
Third, there are strange objects with various special effects. They may not directly increase the lethality, but they can often exert unexpected and amazing effects in specific fields.
[Eye of True Sight], [Hall of Heroes], and [All-Beings-as-One Golden Sash], etc., all belong to this category.
At this moment, two slowly rotating crystal balls orbiting each other according to a specific trajectory are suspended on the tips of Garos's claws, exuding a soft and mysterious halo, which looks quite wonderful.
He played with it for a moment, then no longer hesitated and began to continuously inject Dragon Qi into it.
Buzz--!
[Eye of True Sight]'s rotation speed suddenly increased, becoming blurry, and at the same time, the entire shape began to blur rapidly.
In the process of blurring, its shape gradually changes, and finally condenses into the outline of a pair of eyes.
The color, structure and eyes of Red Iron Dragon are exactly the same!
In the end, it completely disappeared, as if it merged into the air and disappeared.
At the same time, with a burning feeling, Red Iron Dragon suddenly closed his eyes.
After a few seconds, he slowly opened his eyelids again.
In the deep black eyes, countless fine and complicated runes are flying across, ups and downs like living creatures. At first glance, it seems that there is a miniature starry sky that is evolving in his eyes, which makes people involuntarily indulge in it.
In Red Iron Dragon's perception at this moment, the whole world has completely changed.
He looked around, and the familiar mountains and rivers took on an unprecedented new look.
The earth under his feet and the mountains in the distance were no longer opaque and solid obstacles. They became like transparent amber in his eyes. The internal structure was as clear as a biological blood vessel network. He could see the surface of the earth and the different layers of the underground at the same time.
Countless colorful and dazzling energy flows float in the air.
Elements with different attributes shine with their own unique glow.
The earthy yellow, the light blue of the water element, the silvery white of the metal, the red of the fire... They are intertwined, entwined, and flowing with each other, forming a grand and dynamic energy picture.
He doesn't even need to look around deliberately, he can "see" the precise distribution and flow trajectory of various magical energies around him.
Everything becomes clear.
Then, he focused his eyes on the thick mountains in front of him, and his dragon eyes narrowed slightly.
His focused sight easily penetrated the mountain that had become transparent, and saw the broader world outside.
The majestic outline of Crimson Flame Royal City was clearly reflected in his eyes. He could clearly see countless light spots representing life in the city, flickering like stars on a summer night, and he could distinguish the energy intensity and outline characteristics they represented.
The protection Magic Array being built in the royal city, the energy runes and structural nodes flowing inside it were also exposed in his eyes.
He can even accurately see the relatively weak energy intersection points.
"Interesting..."
Red Iron Dragon whispered to himself, and the flow of runes in his eyes seemed to speed up, like stars spinning.
However, this extraordinary vision does not come without a price.
Garos could clearly feel that his energy was being continuously consumed, and at the same time, his eyes began to feel hot, dry and uncomfortable.
And this is exactly what he wants.
Immediately afterwards, Red Iron Dragon maintained the on state of Eye of True Sight and started daily physical exercise.
What surprised him was that because his eyes could now penetrate his own scales and flesh, he could clearly "see" the operation of his own muscles, bones and even Dragon Qi from multiple dimensions. Based on these real-time feedbacks, he could extremely accurately adjust the posture and force exertion of each exercise movement, making the exercise effect closer to perfection.
After a while, the discomfort coming from his eyes became more intense and became burning and stinging.
This is the burden caused by overloading the Eye of True Sight for a long time.
Garos is not surprised but happy about this.
While enduring the stinging pain in his eyes, he keenly felt the possibility of evolution based on his familiarity with talent.
This means that the strange object Eye of True Sight can indeed stimulate his visual organs to transform towards a higher level.
At the same time, an idea gradually became clear in his mind.
Collect all kinds of Legendary Artifact, especially those with unique functions, and then choose the one that suits you best, thereby constantly triggering Adaptive Evolution, allowing him to continuously take steps on the road to Ultimate Dragon!
This idea didn't come out of nowhere.
A long time ago, Garos had a similar idea, using stimulation from external objects to guide its own evolution.
Moreover, this idea has indeed been successful, helping him build Exhilarated State and Bloodburst State.
However, with his own rapid improvement, most ordinary alchemy items have had little effect on him, and their stimulating effect is not even comparable to his own hard training. The subsequent Dragon Jade and Red Lotus Form relied on his own breakthroughs.
Dragonkin rarely relies on external objects.
This is precisely because, for a truly powerful dragon, its own body is often more reliable than most external objects.
But Legendary Realm level props, especially the rare items, are completely different.
The special effects they contain can still produce significant and lasting benefits even for the Legendary Realm dragons like Garos.
The only problem is that Legendary Artifact is too precious and rare.
"I now own Aura Kingdom and have countless people under my command. Ser Wilderness itself also contains rich resources."
"With the continued development of the kingdom, these can be converted into huge wealth. As long as you are willing and given time, you will be able to collect more Legendary Artifact."
Garos Be patient with this.
Time is always on the side of the long-lived Dragonkin.
Just like the countless days of hard training in the past, he silently endured the constant stinging sensation in his eyes, maintaining the load of Eye of True Sight while continuing to perform high-intensity physical exercises.
Pain and gain coexist, and he enjoys it.
While Garos was concentrating on training at the back mountain of Longji, the situation outside was also advancing steadily.
Molten Iron Legion quickly assembled and marched northward, heading straight into the ice field.
Although Theo Kingdom deliberately interfered and tried to cause trouble for the Aura Kingdom, it was difficult to directly intervene in the ice field across the vast Ser Wilderness. In addition, the Legendary Realm leader of Permafrost Tundra had already fallen and lost the value of support. In the end, it had no choice but to give up the plan to intervene.
Later, under the orders of Blue Dragon Heriam, and the fierce power of two powerful Archdemon creatures, Golden-Plumed Griffin and Eight-Snake Leopard.
Molten Iron Legion is unstoppable and gradually sweeps across the ice field.
Gradually, the prestigious names of Red Iron Dragon Emperor and Aura Kingdom, along with the wind in the wilderness, also spread throughout this bitter cold land.
The news of Everfrost King Woruk's defeat had already spread, which greatly damaged the morale of the resisters.
It is worth mentioning that in order to quickly unify the ice field, Woruk had previously conducted a round of screening and inclusion of tribes and clans that were willing to submit to the stronger ones, which virtually saved Aura Kingdom a lot of effort in screening and persuading them to surrender.
As soon as the powerful kingdom army arrived, most of these tribes defected and surrendered.
The vast majority of Frost Giant who chose to resist stubbornly were eventually mercilessly strangled by the legion.
Those individuals who are relatively weak in nature and lack fighting spirit are screened out according to the orders of Garos and are temporarily retained.
Only a handful of lucky or powerful Frost Giant escaped the encirclement and suppression, and disappeared into the vast and dangerous depths of Coldwater Ocean, without a trace, life or death.
Time flies, and six years pass by without even realizing it.
Aura Kingdom is growing stronger day by day, not only completely consolidating its rule in Ser Wilderness, but the dragon flag has already been planted all over the ice peaks and snow valleys of Permafrost Tundra.
Red Iron Dragon Emperor, Garos·Ignas.
This also gave him a new representative title.
--Lord of the Northern Frontier!
At the same time, far away Orotara Continent.
Lucky Messenger Alya had a just right smile on his face and was chatting in a low voice with several Elf who had exquisite looks and elegant temperaments.
After a while, a leader named Elf, whose skin showed a light golden sheen, stepped forward.
He handed a fruit that was round and bright red like a gem into the hand of Alya.
"This is a small gift to show your appreciation. Please accept it."
The fruit has a smooth and shiny skin, exuding an alluring fragrance and a majestic and pure Life Energy wave.
"Thank you for your generosity, this gift is so precious."
Lucky Messenger Alya took the fruit gracefully, with the smile on his face unchanged.
She gently bit into the thin peel and sucked the sweet and hot juice inside.
As the fruit quickly dried up in her hands, a torrent of hot but extremely pure energy instantly poured into her throat, and then swept through her limbs and bones like a river bursting its banks.
Under her skin, there seemed to be a soft halo of light flowing faintly, and the aura emanating from her body was rising steadily.
In the end, her Life Level stabilized at a higher level.
Level twenty-four!
The feeling of power filling her body made her unconsciously narrow her eyes slightly, showing joy.
After entering the realm of the Legendary Realm, every step forward is not easy.
Lucky Messenger Alya's own talent and qualifications are not outstanding among the Legendary Realm. Therefore, her level improvement depends largely on various precious external resources. Fortunately, she is blessed with unique luck and can always easily encounter, pick up, or be given those rare treasures that ordinary people dream of.
For example, the red fruit she just consumed is called "Blazing Sun Fruit".
This is a kind of rare treasure that is of great benefit to the strong Legendary Realm. It is only produced in a very small amount in the Elf clan of the Orotara Continent. The breeding method is regarded as a secret by the Elf clan. The fruit is only used by members of the clan and never leaks out.
Not long ago, while Alya was taking a leisurely stroll in the forest, he happened to encounter a ferocious magical beast attacking a lone little Elf.
She casually drove away the monster and saved the little guy.
It turned out later that he was the favorite son of a powerful Elf lord here. Because he was too playful, he slipped outside alone and encountered danger.
In order to repay this life-saving grace, Lord Elf treated her warmly and generously gave her this Blazing Sun Fruit.
Alya's own accumulation was also close to the critical point. After taking Blazing Sun Fruit, it was a matter of course that he broke through to level 24.
However, in addition to the joy brought by the level improvement, a trace of haze also appeared in her heart.
"Aura Kingdom...Red Iron Dragon Emperor...Iron Dragon Regent..."
Lucky Messenger's thoughts drifted involuntarily to the distant Atlant Continent, the land she was about to return to.
About six years ago, she received a message from the church, informing her that there was a Dragon Kingdom who had risen in Ser Wilderness, and a formal invitation was issued, hoping that she could visit him.
At that time, out of curiosity about a new country founded by a dragon, she agreed.
However, not long ago, she finished her work at the Orotara Continent and was about to leave for the Atlant Continent. She also planned to stop by to take a look at the Aura Kingdom.
The eve of departure.
On a whim, she asked the church for more detailed information about the Aura Kingdom.
And when she read the information carefully, she was shocked to find that the predecessor of this Aura Kingdom was actually the "Molten Iron Tribe" back then!
And I once took away a piece of Legendary Artifact from them.
"I took away Hall of Heroes in order to prevent this powerful prop from falling into the hands of evil people and to avoid the loss of lives. It is the safest arrangement for me to keep and supervise such a prop."
Alya reiterated the legitimacy of his actions in his heart.
"However, those greedy and vengeful Evil Dragon will probably only think about the problem from the narrowest perspective and believe that I have harmed their interests."
"After many years, they invited me by name to be a guest in the kingdom."
"I'm afraid there is no good intention behind this. Most likely, they want to force me to hand over Hall of Heroes, or there are other deeper malicious intentions."
She analyzed it calmly and felt that her speculation was reasonable.
At this moment, there were three choices before her.
One, avoid it.
With her powerful luck attribute, as long as she is unwilling and deliberately avoids him, Red Iron Dragon Emperor may not even be able to see her face.
Second, try to turn conflicts into friendship.
Taking the initiative to return Hall of Heroes with sufficient compensation and a sincere apology may be able to calm the other party's anger and settle the grudge.
Third, there will never be any future troubles.
Before Red Iron Dragon Emperor grows to the point where it cannot be checked and balanced, take advantage of it and kill it completely.
Frankly speaking, Lucky Messenger Alya deep down is not afraid of the current Red Iron Dragon.
No matter how strong it is, it has only been promoted to the Legendary Realm for a few years, and its kingdom's foundation is not deep. Once the emperor dies, it will immediately fall apart.
Moreover, she has traveled extensively over the years and has accumulated a lot of Legendary Artifact.
Among the Legendary Realm at the same level, there is almost no one richer than her. In addition, her own level is high and her specialized magical path is not weak in combat. There is really no reason to be afraid of a level 21 Evil Dragon Legendary Realm.
"Alya Your Excellency, you seem to have something on your mind?"
Lord Elf on the side was very observant and noticed her momentary distraction and absent-mindedness, so he asked gently.
"I did encounter a little annoying little thing."
Lucky Messenger came back to his senses, looked at the experienced Lord Elf, and asked for advice, "With your wisdom, how would you usually deal with a potential opponent who has not really grown up yet, but may pose a danger in the future?"
Elf Lord heard this and thought seriously for a moment.
Immediately, a smile appeared on his handsome face and he said slowly:
"If it is not the kind of deep hatred that cannot be resolved, then it is a good choice to pay some reasonable costs to try to win over the other party and turn potential enemies into friends."
"One more friend means one less enemy."
He paused, his voice still calm, "Of course, our Elf family has a long lifespan and has witnessed too many rises and falls."
"So, in some cases, we also understand the importance of nipping danger in the bud, even if it involves taking some risks."
This Lord Elf has lived for nearly a thousand years, is powerful and well-informed.
Moreover, he is also a lord of the Nausir Empire, with a high position of authority.
For young Lucky Messenger, Lord Elf's advice has a high reference value.
"Thank you, your words have benefited me a lot."
Lucky Messenger's eyes flashed with light, thoughtfully.
A few days later, Lucky Messenger said goodbye to Lord Elf and his people, and embarked on a journey away from the Orotara Continent, heading back towards the Atlant Continent, which she had been away from for a long time.
