After the meteor shower swept through the Orotara Continent, the gears of time continued to rotate.
New Calendar Three ninety-eight years.
Lothern Kingdom, Raymond The king's aunt, the eldest princess, Crystal Princess Elina·Lothern, began to age at an extremely fast rate, and the treasures in the kingdom's inventory could not restore the passage of her life.
This princess, once known for her wisdom and beauty, is inevitably approaching the end of her life.
However, Crystal Princess was not willing to accept this fate.
She grew up in the peaceful and prosperous period of Lothern, and experienced the tempering of continuous wars. She witnessed the decline and difficult rebirth of the kingdom with her own eyes. Deep in her heart, she was not afraid of death, but she was worried that her young descendants would make wrong choices on the throne, and that this land would repeat the mistakes of the past.
In the last moments of life when the candle is extinguished.
Crystal Princess relied on the magical knowledge accumulated throughout her life and the ancient rituals of the kingdom's secrets to transform herself into a pure fire elemental spirit. She abandoned her flesh and blood body and remained in the world in the form of a burning element to continue to watch over her kingdom.
New Calendar 401.
Aura Kingdom has exciting news.
Amethyst Dragon Lion Ennus, so after undergoing blood purification before, and after a long period of accumulation, it finally broke through the bottleneck, the essence of life jumped up, and officially entered the Legendary Realm realm.
This lord's strength greatly increased and he became one of the solid pillars of the kingdom.
New Calendar In the year 402, Iron Dragon Sorog, who had been sleeping for a long time, woke up.
His Life Level has reached the limit of level 20, and his majestic power is contained under the cold and hard iron-colored scales.
In the same year, under the leadership of the prince, who was known for his Ironblood and wisdom, a grand project that had been temporarily stalled due to his sleep, but only had the last few steps to go, the plan code-named "Sanctum", was fully restarted.
The kingdom's resources and wisdom are once again poured into this.
New Calendar Forty-three years, autumn is getting stronger.
Aura Kingdom hinterland, Dragonspine Mountains depth.
Surrounded by steep mountains, there is a vast basin tightly guarded by countless layers of magic barriers and physical defense lines.
This place is heavily guarded all year round, and ordinary creatures cannot approach it.
At this moment, in the center of the basin, a building was standing quietly.
It is shaped like an upside-down silver mountain peak, and the entire body is constructed of countless precisely interlocked regular geometric bodies. The lines are cold and hard, the structure is strange, and the outline is vaguely like a giant Divine Emblem magnified tens of millions of times.
Its material is neither gold nor stone, and its surface has a dull luster like mercury.
Countless and dizzyingly complex runes are engraved on it layer upon layer.
This is the alchemical crystallization of which massive resources and time have been devoted. It belongs to Magic Satellite, "Sanctum" of the Aura Kingdom.
The entire project not only embodies the efforts of Aura's own warlocks, but also attracts elites from all over the world from Lothern, Matena and even Wave-Subduing Dragon Realm to participate in the collaboration.
It has high hopes and is a real strategic weapon.
On the west side of the basin, there is the top of a mountain rising from the ground.
Iron Dragon Sorog, with a cold metallic luster all over its body, is entrenched at the highest point. Its huge body casts a large shadow, covering half of the mountain rock.
He slowly turned his head and glanced at the magnificent silver creation in the basin below, a look of satisfaction flashed across his face.
Half a step behind Iron Dragon, stood a figure made of pure light.
It was the shape of a human male, with a resolute face and calm eyes, revealing the vicissitudes of time and war.
He also stared at "Sanctum" silently, and the light around him flickered brightly and darkly with the subtle fluctuations of his mood.
This is Rodrigo, one of the former Theo's Shield and now Sanctum Heroic Spirit commanders.
"It's finally done." Iron Dragon's deep voice broke the silence on the top of the mountain and said, "It took me a while to fall asleep, but in the end... I caught up with the right time."
He hopes that when his blood relatives wake up, they can see Sanctum hanging high in space.
Opposite, Rodrigo bowed slightly, his body posture composed of light was respectful.
"The Prince's great talent and strategy, Sanctum has been built up, and the foundation of the Aura Kingdom will be more solid, deterring all parties."
Iron Dragon turned his head and focused his gaze on the face of human Heroic Spirit.
"Rodrigo, you know, I have high hopes for you." He said slowly, "Sanctum, a strategic weapon belonging to Aura, will also be a stage for you to shine."
At this point, Iron Dragon suddenly changed the topic.
His tone became direct and sharp, and he said, "But if one day, Aura's military front points again at Theo, the land for which you served and finally died in battle, what will you think then? Will there be waves in your heart?"
The air on the mountaintop froze for a moment.
Rodrigo fell into silence.
In his eyes, countless complex emotions flashed rapidly, and finally returned to calm.
After a few seconds, Heroic Spirit slowly raised his gaze to meet Iron Dragon's gaze.
"Rodrigo has shed the last drop of his blood for Theo. He died on the battlefield and was shrouded in horse leather... I no longer owe Theo anything." He paused. After a pause, he continued, "Today, I am Heroic Spirit of Aura and one of the commanders of Sanctum. My loyalty belongs to this land that gave me new life."
"But," he changed his subject slightly and said frankly, "If it were possible... I would not want to personally lead the army to that land."
"This is not cowardice, but... some useless old thoughts that may affect my judgment and decision-making at critical moments. Commander, be careful like a mirror, untainted by dust."
Iron Dragon lowered his eyes and stared at him for a few seconds, with no anger or dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Instead, he grinned, revealing his white fangs, and outlined an arc that resembled a smile.
"Old thoughts... whatever, I have no interest in forcing others to do things against their will."
"If troops are used against Theo one day, other Heroic Spirit commanders will be responsible for the front line."
Iron Dragon moved his eyes away and looked back at the silvery Sanctum in the basin, as if he could see a more distant and grand future through it.
Then, he spoke again slowly and with a firm tone.
"Theo... Sooner or later it will become Theo of Aura."
"The only difference lies in how and when. By then, there will probably be no difference between Aura and Theo on this plain. Those old thoughts in your heart will naturally disappear and there will be no more worries."
Rodrigo was silent for a moment and bowed again. "Thank you, Prince, for your understanding."
Iron Dragon No more words.
At the same time, the figure of human Heroic Spirit turned into an overflowing light, throwing it towards Sanctum in the center of the basin, blending with it.
Time passed quietly and gradually approached noon.
Around the basin, in addition to Iron Dragon Sorog, more and more powerful figures arrived one after another, each looking for a place with a wide view to stop.
White Dragon Beskar is entrenched on the east cliff, its scales glowing coldly under the autumn sun; Amethyst Dragon Iseramathus is standing quietly aside, with purple flowers flowing around it.
Blue Dragon Zolaya, Green Dragon Ludwig, Black Dragon Seraphina and other dragons each occupy one side, and Dragon Might is faintly intertwined.
On the other side, the four descendants of Red Emperor have now entered Young Adult Stage. They have strong bodies and calm auras. Without exception, they have a body shape and body shape that surpass Adult Dragon. Life Level, eye-catching, they stood together with Black Dragon's adopted daughter of Red Emperor, and several outstanding graduates of the Ignas Dragon Academy.
Further away, several lords are also here.
Aura Kingdom's main strength is almost all gathered here.
Elvie and Kalu were also among the spectators.
The depths of their eyes were filled with a different luster than usual, which was the gaze of another level of consciousness.
The sleeping Red Emperor is witnessing this historic moment with his kingdom through the two pairs of eyes of Beneath the Dragon Throne.
Soon, when the sun reaches the zenith, the sun is at its strongest.
Iron Dragon Sorog raised its majestic dragon head, and its sound was like a loud bell, spreading throughout the basin and echoing among the mountains.
"Let's go, Sanctum, take off!"
After the order was given, the nine giant energy guidance towers surrounding the edge of the basin simultaneously emitted a low hum.
They burst out with dazzling light pillars, soaring straight into the sky, intertwining and spreading in the very high sky, eventually forming a huge three-dimensional magic Magic Array that covers the entire basin.
The array rotates slowly, getting faster and faster, causing the surrounding Magic Power to surge like a tidal wave.
Buzz!
The originally calm and flowing luster on the surface of Sanctum suddenly became extremely shining, and the countless runes engraved on it, starting from the lowest base, lit up one after another like firewood being lit one by one, and spread rapidly upwards.
In a moment, the entire magnificent Sanctum seemed to be completely ignited from the inside out.
It turned into an extremely bright light body, and the glow it emitted even surpassed the scorching sun at noon.
Immediately afterwards, a low and continuous tremor came from the earth.
Under the gaze of countless eyes, this creation, which had been the result of countless efforts, began to break free from the constraints of the earth and rise steadily upwards.
At first, it rose slowly, like a giant whale emerging from the deep sea.
But soon, as more Magic Array was activated step by step, the speed accelerated significantly.
Its silver body tears the air and rolls up the dust accumulated in the basin, forming a thick and straight gray smoke column. Sanctum itself, like a sharp sword that cuts through the world, rushes up along the center of the smoke column.
The howling wind swept through the viewing area, blowing the hard scales of Dragon Race and the fluttering manes and long hair of the lords.
"Welcome to the world, Aura Yongchang!"
Some young Dragonkin couldn't restrain their excitement and roared and growled excitedly.
Following countless gazes, Sanctum rose higher and higher, and its huge shape gradually shrank in the field of vision. Soon, looking up from the ground, it had turned into a bright silver-white star.
Even in the daytime, its brilliance is clearly visible, shining side by side with the sun.
Aura Kingdom's strategic weapon, Heroic Spirit Sanctum, is officially in place!
Then, under the influence of the preset spell array, the newly born star gradually restrained itself and slowly disappeared into the blue sky, hiding in the hard-to-track Dimensional Interstice.
It has disappeared from the conventional sight of all countries.
Only when Aura Kingdom needs it, will this sharp sword hanging in the sky show its shape again.
New Calendar 405.
On the northern border of the Aura Kingdom, north of Permafrost Tundra, the vast sea of ice known as Coldwater Ocean is no longer calm.
The coastal strongholds and patrols established by the kingdom here began to be attacked frequently. The attacker was Sahuagin, an evil intelligent creature called "Sea Devil" by the land races.
They look like a combination of humans and fish, are cruel and bloodthirsty, and are accustomed to plundering.
In the beginning, there were only sporadic harassments and small-scale robberies, which did not attract much attention from the top management. They were only cleaned up by the local guards stationed there.
However, Sahuagin's intrusion quickly escalated from harassment to a large-scale landing attack.
More and more Fishfolk are swarming out of the sea, attacking Aura's coastal bases, destroying facilities, and looting supplies. Their behavior is becoming increasingly rampant, and there is even a leader of the Legendary Realm among them.
Blue Dragon Heriam, realizing that it was impossible to completely solve the threat from the deep sea alone, reported the situation to the royal capital urgently.
Soon after, beacon fires were lit one after another along the long northern coastline of Permafrost Tundra.
Sahuagin launched a long-planned large-scale attack, tearing gaps in the defense line in many places, and the landing troops advanced inland.
Just as the pressure on the defenders doubled.
Above the sky, bright beams of light tore through the clouds and descended vertically.
Heroic Spirit Warriors from Sanctum come to the battlefield.
They are composed of pure spiritual matter and energy, are not affected by cold and fatigue, and are not afraid of injury or death.
The situation of the battle reversed instantly.
Sahuagin was defeated by the Sanctum army, leaving behind a large number of corpses and retreating in panic. The leader of Fishfolk was severely wounded by a Legendary Heroic Spirit, but because he was too close to Ocean, he escaped by water and barely saved his life.
Aura Kingdom didn't stop there.
Under the instruction of Iron Prince, Ancient Dragon Beskar personally went to the sea and chased him for hundreds of kilometers. Finally, he captured the leader Fishfolk who was seriously injured and had not recovered from his injuries in an extremely deep seabed fissure.
After torture, Aura Kingdom learned the reason for Sahuagin's massive attack.
They are trying to avoid the power of "White Calamity".
--Ten-Thousand-Laws White Dragon, Hitherfell.
This powerful and famous Primordial White Dragon has appeared many times in the depths of Coldwater Ocean in recent years, specializing in hunting down Legendary Realm lives, with cruel methods and secretive whereabouts.
Daylight Dragon Realm issued a high-level wanted order on him and organized several crusade against him, but all failed.
Some Legendary Realm life forms that inhabit the deep sea are forced to abandon their homes and migrate to relatively safe shallow seas and even land.
This Sahuagin was forced to land and invade the coast of Aura because it was unaware of the true power of the Aura Kingdom and faced a survival crisis, hoping to gain a new living space.
In the end, the remaining Sahuagin chose to surrender to the Aura Kingdom.
They became tributaries of the kingdom, and Aura added another Legendary Realm to exist.
In the same year, Aura Kingdom's Fire Princess, Governor of Industry, and the red dragon Samantha woke up from their slumber. Her Life Level also broke through to the twenty-level limit, only one step away from the Legendary Realm.
New Calendar 406.
Orotara Continent, the aftermath of the Meteor Catastrophe of the past has not completely subsided. Elven Empire is busy repairing their homes and appeasing nature. Other kingdoms scattered on the continent have also suffered heavy losses due to Calamity. Their national strength has not been restored, and they are all in a state of being overwhelmed by themselves.
Southeast of the mainland, a vast wilderness area.
Evil Dragon, which was originally unknown, seized the perfect opportunity and expanded its power at an alarming rate.
The monster legions under her command attacked everywhere, annexing weak tribes and city-states, and quickly established a loosely structured but vast kingdom of Evil Dragon.
Because the core of the country is a huge green wilderness, the kingdom is also referred to as "Greenwild Kingdom".
The owner of Greenwild is a female Green Dragon.
She had quietly advanced to the Legendary Realm realm before she entered her prime. She possessed some powerful special talent, but she had always kept a low profile and remained anonymous.
It wasn't until this god-given opportunity came that she suddenly struck out and rose like a comet across the night sky, making an instant sensation.
Known for her cunning, patience, and strength, she quickly rose to fame.
Some intelligent creatures and intelligence organizations that continue to pay attention to the dynamics of dragons around the world can't help but compare the newly emerged Greenwild Kingdom with the already established Aura Kingdom far away in the Atlant Continent.
What's more, people started to call this female Green Dragon "Green Emperor", comparing it with the famous "Red Emperor" of Aura.
Although there is currently no overlap between the two, many people have compared them.
Currently, Red Emperor, who has created many legendary deeds, has a significantly better reputation.
New Calendar 410.
Theresia Continent's Orc Empire Cantum, its desire to conquer has never been extinguished.
However, Orc are individually brave, but their alchemy and industrial technology are severely lagging behind. Their huge army is restricted to their home continent, making it difficult to conduct cross-sea expeditions.
In the past hundred years, the entire Orc Empire has been holding its breath.
They invested resources and time crazily in the research of navigation technology. With the unity of the whole country, they finally achieved a breakthrough. This alternative empire, which was basically composed of barbaric and reckless men, developed a reliable fleet that could conduct ocean voyages.
An unprecedentedly large Orc naval fleet has been formed.
Amid the fanatical war cries and prayers of countless Orc warriors, they officially set sail.
The huge Orc fleet was directed at the Orotara Continent, which had not yet fully recovered from Calamity. At the same time, several smaller advance fleets were also dispatched, heading in the direction of the Atlant Continent.
New Calendar 413.
Within the territory of the Aura Kingdom, a new Legendary Realm was born among humans.
Dilia·Hines.
He is the grandson of Xia'er·Hines, but he has not inherited any blood of Snake-man and is a pure human being.
This boy showed great talent. Under the premise of hard training and experience, he also enjoyed the resources of the kingdom to train him. Therefore, he finally successfully passed the Legendary Realm level.
Considering his age, his achievements may not be amazing among the Legendary Realm strong men.
However, Dilia is the first generation of Aura people with roots in Miaohong. He studied, grew and was promoted in the country ruled by Red Emperor. He is the first human Legendary Realm that Aura Kingdom cultivated on his own, which is of far-reaching significance.
Time flies, spring passes and autumn comes.
In the blink of an eye, another three years passed.
New Calendar 416, summer.
Lain Kingdom, the kingdom that once had the largest territory in Second War of the Romanian States, has spent a lot of national power on suppressing internal resistance and maintaining rule all year round, and its internal losses have become increasingly serious, and it is difficult to recover.
Various remedial reform measures are of no avail.
They appealed to their former allies for help, but received no effective response.
Finally, this kingdom, which was riddled with internal problems, could no longer maintain its superficial unity.
With the help of some invisible hands, it collapsed and split into several independent principalities that were hostile to each other or united with each other. The territory of the former kingdom became a chessboard for warlords.
The same year, winter.
Ser Wilderness, Dragonspine Mountains, the wind and snow are coming.
On a cold day with fine snow falling, a certain ordinary mountain peak covered with white snow suddenly began to shake violently without warning. On the surface of the mountain, one after another deep cracks quickly cracked and extended, and a large amount of snow and rocks rolled down.
It was as if some huge existence sleeping inside the mountain was slowly waking up and turning its heavy body.
