Die!
Ignas Royal Dragon Academy's young dragons, in addition to their wings, necks and limbs, the muscles on their shoulders, back, waist and abdomen are also very developed, as if they can burst out with power like a mountain falling apart at any time.
Seeing this scene, Ancient White Dragon Beskar took a deep breath subconsciously.
He almost looked stunned, forgetting to control his expression.
What's going on with the dragon here?!
This style of painting is so abnormal!
On one side of the training ground, there is a slightly higher stone observation platform.
On the stage, White Dragon, a female in her prime who has a slender body but equally well-defined muscles, is standing quietly.
She is the dean here, Tressie.
Her dragon scales are not as thick and pale as Beskar, but are crystal white with some pearl-like luster, flowing with a cool halo in the sunlight.
In fact, Tressie's scales were also pale at first, and even his name was Pale Wings.
However, with the improvement of her ecological niche, the increase in the resources she enjoyed, the training she put in for it, etc., the color of her scales gradually changed to what it is now.
Under the quiet observation of Garos.
Tressie is setting his sights on several Young Adult Dragon who have just finished a round of confrontation and are taking a short break on the sidelines.
"Kahn, you just challenged Blue Dragon Liss, what was the result?"
She looked at Qing Adolescent Red Dragon, who had several burnt black electric shock scars on his body and was slightly depressed.
Red Dragon Kahn lowered his head in frustration and replied gloomily, "I lost, distinguished Dean Tressie."
He explained, "She... she pretended to be weak and lured me into launching an all-out attack. Then she set up a lightning trap in advance to trap me. Then she took the opportunity to attack my flank and finally defeated me."
Tressie After listening, he nodded, with no emotion or anger on his face.
Then, she turned her attention to the smaller green Adolescent Blue Dragon on the other side.
"Liss, you won this confrontation."
She asked with a deadpan expression, "So, does this mean that you can now laugh at Kahn's impulsiveness and stupidity to show your victory and wisdom?"
Under the gaze of White Dragon Tressie, Blue Dragon Liss pondered slightly.
"According to Chapter 3 of <Niche Dialectics in Practice>, the winner does have the right to humiliate the loser to a certain extent, but this must be based on a careful assessment of the subsequent impact."
She paused briefly and continued her analysis.
"Kahn's physical strength is superior to mine. If we choose to confront him head-on, I will be at a disadvantage."
"My victory this time is not crushing. The gap between me and him is not so big that it is insurmountable."
"Therefore, if you humiliate him excessively, it is likely to lead to more intense and lasting revenge from him in the future, which will inevitably interfere with my growth process and be detrimental to my development in the long run."
After saying that, she looked at Dean White Dragon Tressie with a hint of inquiry.
"Good analysis."
Tressie gave a word of approval, and then slowly glanced at all Young Adult Dragon in the audience.
"The strong have objective advantages over the weak, and the strong can use this advantage to exert appropriate oppression to safeguard their own status and interests."
"However, excessive humiliation will only sow the seeds of hatred, especially when the other party also has the potential to grow."
"The reason why we need to suppress the weak at certain times is to establish our own status and protect our own interests, not to create unrelenting enemies."
She suddenly changed the topic and her tone became cold and clear. "However, this does not mean weakness or concession."
"When you are convinced that the other party will not pose a threat to you in the future, or the benefits you can obtain now far outweigh the potential risks in the future, it is also a reasonable and wise choice to take thunderous measures and completely establish a dominance relationship."
"And when you are at an absolute disadvantage and resistance will only bring meaningless destruction... what should you do?"
Upon hearing Dean White Dragon's question, all Young Adult Dragon present looked solemn at the same time and straightened their bodies.
"Be patient! Observe! Learn! Accumulate! Transcend! Counterattack!"
They raised their heads and shouted the slogans taught by the college in unison, with neat and powerful voices.
"Very good!"
Tressie flicked the dragon's tail, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
"The academy never encourages reckless bravery and impulsiveness. That would be irresponsible to your precious dragon body and future prospects."
"When you are weak, the wisdom of survival and development is higher than your temporary will. Only when you are forced to retreat and there is truly no way out, should you stake everything you have, fight back, and fight to the death!"
She said in a deep voice, each word reaching the ears of every young dragon.
On the other side, Garos listened to this instruction with a trace of surprise in his eyes.
It sounds like Tressie has made quite specific and pragmatic supplements and developments to the ecological niche theory she proposed, making this theory more operational and guiding, and the system becoming more complete.
Next to him, Ancient White Dragon Beskar showed a strange expression, tilting his huge head and looking at Tressie carefully.
When he heard the content about ecological niche, he couldn't help but nodded slightly, with a deep sense of recognition in his eyes. Beskar actually had similar thoughts, but he didn't summarize them like Tressie.
At the same time, Tressie's lecture is not over yet.
"Whether it is to dominate the weak or to tolerate growth, the premise of all this is that you must clearly know who you are ultimately loyal to, and where the source of your powerful power comes from!"
She raised one front paw and pointed at the majestic emperor sculpture.
"Garos·Ignas Your Majesty!"
"Our Emperor, the great Lord of the Northern Frontier, the ruler of the Aura Kingdom!"
"It is he who has provided you with all the resources and a safe and stable environment necessary for your growth; it is he who has used his supreme power to defeat powerful enemies and expand territory, so that you can grow up peacefully today without having to worry about the fate of being hunted or enslaved!"
"Your Majesty's strength, your Majesty's wisdom, and your Majesty's will are the cornerstones that support your ecological niche."
"Loyalty and reverence to Your Majesty are not shackles that bind you, but your greatest reliance and glory!"
"Any thought or behavior that attempts to shake this point is digging into one's own foundation and bringing about one's own destruction!"
The young Dragonkins below listened, and their blood seemed to boil. They shouted in unison, and their voices swept the entire square like a tide.
"Loyalty! Loyalty! Loyalty!"
In the Ignas Royal Dragon Academy, young dragons are taught to strengthen their bodies, sharpen their wisdom, and act decisively... But all these wisdoms related to their own survival and interests ultimately point to loyalty to the only emperor.
Of course, the chaotic instinct of Evil Dragons who are naturally disobedient to discipline and self-centered is still hidden in their blood.
But they were also taught over and over again.
--Those instincts are bad habits, flaws, inconveniences that need to be overcome.
In this academy, they struggle with their own nature almost all the time, and are gradually shaped into a new generation Dragon Race who possess strong fighting will and survival wisdom, as well as high loyalty to the kingdom.
Tressie has finished the training and is preparing to arrange the next training course.
At this moment, two striking lights suddenly lit up high in the sky.
Buzz! Buzz!
Along with the faint vibration of energy, the figures of Red Iron Dragon, a tall and sturdy figure with no anger and self-power, and Legendary Realm White Dragon on the other side, appeared one after another in the sky above the college.
All the young dragons in the field stopped and looked up at the sky.
When he saw the two figures clearly, especially the leader Red Iron Dragon, the whole world seemed to have been pressed on the mute button in an instant, and even the heavy breathing stopped abruptly.
The next moment, it was like a long-suppressed volcano erupting.
"Your Majesty! It's His Majesty the Emperor!"
A green Adolescent Blue Dragon was the first to roar excitedly.
Bloodburst's emotions were like a prairie fire, quickly spreading to the entire group of dragons.
The young dragons no longer maintained an orderly queue, and stretched their necks one after another, trying to make themselves appear more upright and energetic; some tightened their muscles, deliberately showing off their strong silhouettes; each pair of dragon eyes was burning with blazing light.
"Loyalty! For Your Majesty!"
I don't know who first shouted this slogan that had just been repeatedly instilled, and it immediately triggered a response like a mountain and a tsunami.
"Loyalty! For Your Majesty!"
"Loyalty! For Emperor Ignas!"
The roars of the young dragons gathered together, causing the surrounding snow to fall.
The wisdom of forbearance and observation emphasized in previous lectures was temporarily diluted by pure excitement and reverence at this moment.
They are all still young, and they have grown up listening to the legendary deeds of the Red Iron Dragon Emperor since the day they broke out of their shells. Their awe in their hearts even surpasses those illusory dragon gods in their inherited memories.
The impact of facing the monarch to whom one is loyal at close range is difficult for any young life to bear calmly.
Tressie looked at the slightly gloomy excited reactions of the young dragons. There was no blame in his eyes, but a glimmer of satisfaction.
This warm respect is the embodiment of her educational achievements.
In the Ignas Royal Dragon Academy, the teaching of ecological niche theory and exercise are important, but the education of loyalty to the emperor always comes first and is the top priority.
White Dragon Dean did not say anything to stop the dragons from cheering.
She turned slightly sideways and lowered her head to express her welcome and respect to the emperor in the sky.
Ancient White Dragon Beskar tilted his huge head, his dragon eyes full of surprise and thought.
In his long memory, Evil Dragon people usually think highly of themselves, are hostile to each other, and find it difficult to get together.
Even he, Ancient Dragon, has never seen so many young people of his kind gathered in one place, expressing their awe and respect for another individual in such a uniform and full of collective belief.
At the same time, Garos has a panoramic view of everything below.
He stretched out his broad wings, and his majestic body appeared more clearly in the wind and snow.
He did not let out a deafening roar, nor did he deliberately release the overwhelming Dragon Might. He just nodded slightly, and his eyes swept across the entire academy grounds calmly and majestically.
Just this simple action quickly calmed down the excited group of young dragons.
They were still excited, but they tried to restrain themselves, looking up at their emperor with more ardent eyes, waiting for instructions, or just feeling honored by being watched.
Now that we are here, Garos feels that we should say something.
Under the gaze of many young dragons holding their breath, Red Iron Dragon slowly spoke.
"I have seen your enthusiasm."
The first sentence made all the young dragons' hearts beat heavily, and then there was a surge of excitement at being recognized by the monarch.
Garos lowered his eyes, looked down majestically at these cornerstones of the kingdom's future, and continued, "The kingdom belongs to me, but its future also belongs to you."
"The ecological niche established by you individually will jointly build the ecological niche of the entire Aura Kingdom on the world stage."
"Continue your training, young behemoths."
"For yourselves, for me, and for your emperor."
"Remember everything you have learned here, sharpen your claws sharper, forge your scales stronger, and temper your will to be indestructible."
"I look forward to the day when you truly grow up and become a strong pillar supporting the kingdom."
"At that time, in the Aura Kingdom, under the protection of my dragon wings, your strength, your wisdom, your minions and Dragon Breath will extend with the territory of the kingdom and shine with the glory of the kingdom!"
After a brief silence, the roar of the dragon, which was more fervent than before, tore through the wind and snow all over the sky, suddenly erupting into the sky.
"For Aura! For His Majesty!"
"Loyalty! Glory! Victory!"
Garos calmly endured the roaring tsunami-like voice of allegiance and nodded slightly.
Beskar stood aside secretly awe-inspiring.
This Red Iron Dragon Emperor not only possesses a powerful force that makes him feel oppressed, but the skill he has shown in controlling Dragon Heart and condensing will and loyalty also makes him feel unfathomable.
How much precipitation does it take to have such strength and wisdom?
Could it be that he is a Elder Dragon, or even Primordial Dragon?!
Beskar thought in his heart.
A few minutes later, on the higher sky covered by heavy wind and snow.
Garos, White Dragon Tressie and Ancient White Dragon Beskar are hovering here.
"Hey, my king, are you satisfied with the current situation of this academy?"
Tressie came closer to Red Iron Dragon, with a hint of expectation in his tone.
There were no other young dragons around. As a dragon who had been with Garos for a long time, her attitude was no longer as formal as before, and she seemed more casual and approachable.
At this moment, White Dragon looked like he was waiting for praise, looking at Garos eagerly.
The cold dean attitude she maintained in front of the students has long since disappeared.
Seeing this, Garos raised the corner of his mouth slightly, showed a smile, and said, "Frankly speaking, this exceeded my expectations and makes me very satisfied."
"Tressie, you did an excellent job."
White Dragon immediately shook his tail happily.
Immediately afterwards, she seemed to notice something, her nose twitched slightly, and her eyes were filled with confusion. She turned to Ancient White Dragon Beskar who was following Red Iron Dragon.
Opposite, Beskar also had a strange look on his face and was looking at Tressie carefully.
At such a close distance, they could smell a similar bloodline aura from each other. Although it was very weak, it did exist.
Garos's eyes moved between the two White Dragon, and he also noticed this subtle smell connection.
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
He then thought about it, the total number of Dragonkins of Borderlands and Northern Icefield was not that many, and they belonged to the same lineage of White Dragon, so the probability of being related seemed not low... He thought silently in his heart.
"What's your name?"
After a short silence, Ancient White Dragon Beskar couldn't help but ask first.
In his prime, White Dragon responded calmly, "Tressie·Gabriella."
There was another silence in the air.
Then, Ancient White Dragon said slowly, "My name is Beskar Gabriella. Based on my age, I should be your grandfather."
The similarity in blood allowed them to confirm their biological relationship on the spot.
However, the expected touching scene of deep love between ancestors and grandchildren did not appear.
Grandfather...Tressie The alarm bell rang slightly in his heart, but there was no sign of it on his face.
Her parents seemed to have been buried in the cruel environment of the ice field long ago. Unexpectedly, this old thing is still alive and has already broken through the Legendary Realm realm.
What is his intention when he appears at this moment?
Just to reminisce?
White Dragon does not have this traditional virtue of focusing on family ties.
Could it be that you have taken a fancy to this college that I have worked so hard to manage?
He wants to intervene as Ancient Dragon, or even take his place?
...Tressie's mind was running rapidly, and various possibilities were passing through his mind.
Considering the life level and strength of the opponent Legendary Realm, Tressie quickly suppressed the wariness and displeasure rising in his heart and switched to another face.
There was just the right amount of surprise and surprise on her face, and then her eyes slightly curved, showing a smile that was a mixture of admiration and joy.
"That's it! No wonder... no wonder I felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to you from the first moment I saw you."
"This is truly a fateful reunion, which makes me... extremely happy!"
Hearing this, Beskar smiled playfully, and the dragon's beard trembled slightly.
He has lived for a long time, how could he not see the hypocrisy behind Tressie's little thoughts and words?
White Dragon's acting skills are acceptable in his prime, but he still looks a bit immature in front of Ancient Dragon's keen insight.
Beskar sneered secretly in his heart, but his face remained calm and even showed a gentle expression in cooperation.
"Tressie, my descendant, I am truly gratified to see you growing up so well and being able to stand alone under the great emperor and taking charge of such an important academy."
Ancient Dragon's tone is very kind.
He paused and continued with a low laugh, "Speaking of which, this is also a wonderful fate."
"Now, like you, I am honored to be loyal to Your Majesty. However, I am a newbie here and do not understand many affairs and rules of the kingdom."
"In the future, in this new land, I will have to consult and learn from your "senior"."
Tressie immediately shook his head with a humble attitude.
"You are already the distinguished Ancient Dragon, and I am only in my prime, and I have not reached the level of the Legendary Realm. I am able to achieve the few achievements I have now, all thanks to your majesty's favor and trust."
"I really don't dare to ask for advice."
"However, if you have any needs or questions, feel free to ask them. As long as they are within my ability, I will do my best."
The two White Dragons were coming and going in the air, their words sounded sincere and thoughtful, and their smiles seemed quite warm.
It seemed like a touching family reunion.
Garos listened to the entire conversation, listened to their subtle taunts with interest, and then interrupted.
"Well, the pull of blood makes you meet again under my command, which can be regarded as a fate."
He first looked at Tressie and affirmed. "Your education work for young Dragonkin, especially the instillation of loyalty education and survival wisdom, is related to the foundation of the future of the kingdom."
"You have done a great job. Under your management, the academy will surely become one of the core pillars of the kingdom's long-term development."
After saying that, he turned his attention to Ancient White Dragon Beskar.
"Beskar, you can make a wise decision after understanding the situation clearly, and dedicate the strength and wisdom accumulated over the long years to the kingdom. This clarity is particularly rare. I look forward to the contributions and surprises you can bring to the kingdom in the future."
The two White Dragon lowered their heads at the same time and responded, "I will obey your Majesty's teachings!"
Garos nodded and made arrangements. "That's it for today."
"Tressie, the affairs of the college are heavy and cannot be slacked off. Beskar, please follow me back to Wilderness Fortress to familiarize yourself with the details of the kingdom first."
After saying this, he stopped staying.
Red Iron Dragon's broad wings suddenly waved, whipping up a burst of strong airflow and speeding away in the direction of the wilderness.
Beskar did not dare to neglect, and quickly vibrated his frost-covered membrane wings, bringing up a biting cold current, and closely followed the emperor's figure.
Before leaving, he glanced back at Tressie, who stayed where he was.
Tressie was also looking at him, and their eyes met briefly.
She nodded slightly as a concise farewell, then turned around, lowered her altitude, and flew back to the Dragon Academy, where the faint noise echoed below, and continued to perform her duties as the dean.
