"Did something happen to the Raging Tide Dragon Realm?"
Facing Red Iron Dragon's question, Orvis was silent for a few seconds before slowly saying, "Bronze Dragon King, he has a radical personality and his work style is sometimes even more like Evil Dragon, but even so, he still has many admirers among the major Dragon Realm."
"The reason is simple----"
"He single-handedly guarded Salo Abyss."
"That is a large Abyssal Rift, located deep in the seabed outside the Raging Tide Dragon Realm. From time to time, powerful Demon will emerge from it, but without exception, they are all firmly suppressed by Bronze Dragon King under the deep sea, making it difficult to cross the thunder pool."
Garos listened quietly, the shadows of distant clouds reflected in his eyes.
He had also heard a little bit about this matter.
Except for the mysterious Gold Dragon King, among the existing kings of the Dragon Realm, Bronze Dragon King has the most famous reputation.
The vast majority of Metal Dragon always have an instinctive yearning for this kind of heroic narrative of alone suppressing evil.
"But not long ago, Salo Abyss was boiling."
Orvis's tone became lower, with a hint of solemnity.
"Bronze Dragon King's roar during the battle even passed through the layers of water and reached the ears of other dragons."
"That roar was mixed with rare anger and urgency."
"So, Raging Tide Dragon Realm's other Legendary Realm dragons did not sit back and watch their Dragon King fight alone. They dived into the deep sea one after another to jointly resist the sudden strong Archdemon tide, eventually, Demon was suppressed again, but the news I heard is that they also paid a heavy price, some dragons were injured, and some Primordial Dragon even died."
"Bronze Dragon King, who was fighting on the front line... was seriously injured."
After a pause, Orvis's voice became heavier.
"Sea Abyss rioted, Floating City fell - the interval between these two major events was so short that it made me uneasy."
"I'm wondering, is there some kind of connection between them that we haven't noticed yet?"
"I hope----it's just that I'm overthinking it."
Red Iron Dragon's expression also became completely solemn.
Not long ago, a riot of unusual intensity occurred in Abyssal Rift within the territory of the Aura Kingdom. However, because the kingdom had stationed heavy troops nearby all year round, and the rift itself was only small, the riot was quickly suppressed.
At that time, Garos didn't take it particularly seriously and regarded it as an accident.
But now, news comes one after another.
The situation is completely different.
"The Abyssal Rift that Raging Tide Dragon Realm suppressed is not even in the Atlant Continent's homeland, but is located far away in the sea."
"Could it be that the entire Bernardo World's Abyssal Rift----"
"Everything is starting to go wrong?"
Thinking of this, Red Iron Dragon exhaled a stream of hot air from his nose, and his scales opened and closed slightly to calm the turbulent emotions in his heart.
Similar events are recorded in Dragon Inheritance.
This is often an ominous sign for Abyss to invade Material Plane on a large scale.
First, cracks appeared, then frequent riots, and the energy level gradually increased, eventually causing the cracks to completely open, and the Demon army poured out like a torrent.
It can take a hundred years as quickly as possible, or a thousand years as slowly as possible.
No one can predict the exact time.
However, almost all recorded Material Planes that were eventually swallowed up or seriously injured by Abyss experienced similar preludes before the disaster completely came.
"Garos, let's end this conversation for now.
"The news of Holden Floating City's fall has arrived. Dragon Realm is summoning the elders to prepare for an emergency meeting."
Orvis said.
Garos said, "If there is any important news, remember to notify me."
His communication with Gold Dragon is over.
"Meteor showers from outer space and Frenzied Flame Calamity, plus Abyss who seems to be eyeing the entire Bernardo----"
Garos was silent in his heart.
"The future of this planet is clouded."
At this moment when the situation is changing and the entire planet may be involved in catastrophe, theoretically speaking, the several major empires on Bernardo should temporarily put aside their conflicts and frictions, join forces to form an alliance, jointly fight against external threats, and try their best to save the world they depend on for survival from dire straits.
However, reality is always much crueler than ideal.
The Elfs of Nausir are obsessed with exploring the starry sky, but they accidentally caused the disaster of Frenzied Flame; the humans of Holden are committed to developing the power of Abyss, and now it seems that they may have attracted a deeper covetousness from Abyssal Will.
Let's not talk about whether they can promote cooperation.
As far as the current situation is concerned, these two troubles of "water" and "fire" are largely caused by themselves.
In comparison.
Cantum and Orc Empire appear to be much more "pure".
They only want to conquer visible lands and races, and their desires are straightforward and brutal.
But----
In the current crisis-ridden situation, the war started by the Orc Empire will undoubtedly become a dangerous catalyst, which is likely to cause the brewing disaster to break out in advance, overlap each other, and eventually turn into a storm that sweeps everything.
"I have long seen that the three empires on Bernardo each have their own unique skills, and none of them is mediocre."
"Their ambition is dragging the entire world to the edge of the cliff."
Garos shook his head insignificantly.
As early as when he first learned about the trends and potential risks of several major empires, Garos had a vague premonition in his heart.
And now, the premonitions are becoming reality one after another.
"However, Lamorien is right about one thing."
Garos lowered his eyes and looked at the sea of clouds still surging in the sky.
"Chaos is the ladder of progress."
"The era of turbulent times and the shaking of the old order contains huge opportunities for those who are eager to rise."
"If the world is peaceful and continues to develop step by step, after I am promoted to Destiny Rank Legendary, or even just reach Crown Rank - unless I am willing to completely lie dormant, put away my claws and fangs, and behave indifferently and harmless to humans and animals, otherwise I will inevitably start to think about how to face those Immortal One who have already stood at the top of the world."
"Now, everyone's attention will be attracted by a greater crisis."
"I can show off my talents more freely."
Garos looks back on his rise.
From surviving alone, to establishing clans and tribes, to establishing a country, to now integrating Romanian Plains...
At every critical leap, he firmly seized the fleeting opportunity.
He waved his dragon wings amid steel and flames, and climbed higher into the sky amid blood and death.
One minute later.
"Sorog, Samantha, Gordon."
Garos calmed down his turbulent thoughts and called his three blood relatives through Mind Link.
Almost at the same moment, blood relatives responded.
"I see, my dear brother."
The voice of Red Dragon Samantha sounded first, full of excitement and eagerness to try.
"A Floating City crashed down! Ha! Those humans who have lived in the sky and have been arrogant for countless years have finally fallen! Garos, should we do something? Is Holden Empire going to be doomed? Can we Aura Kingdom replace it?"
"Samantha, calm down, this matter is not trivial."
Garos said with steady mental fluctuations.
Immediately, he shared with three blood relatives the details of his conversation with Lord of Thunder Lamorien, his guess about the connection between Abyssal Rift, and his analysis of the future situation.
A brief silence.
On the other end of the connection, the dragons are quickly digesting this weighty information.
"Lord of Thunder Lamorien----The de facto leader of Helmode Dragon Brood, the ruler of the Braketon Kingdom."
The voice of Iron Dragon Sorog sounded.
"He has a prominent reputation on the mainland and is known for his wisdom and strength. He is not a reckless and short-sighted person. His initiative to cooperate means that he has judged that the risks in the future are extremely high and cannot be dealt with by Helmode Dragon Brood or Braketon Kingdom alone."
"However, I don't think we can rush into agreeing."
"Holden only crashed one Floating City, and its empire is still unfathomable. We need to wait and see first, invest in gathering more intelligence, and evaluate the reactions of all parties, especially what specific actions Holden Empire will take in the future."
"They have been away from the earth for a long time, but now that a city has crashed, there must be a major reason behind it. There is a high probability that they will not remain silent."
Samantha's mental fluctuations came violently.
"Too slow, the opportunity is right in front of us! Now is the time for our dragons to show their true power and seize the Divine Authority they deserve! We should immediately gather our troops and go south, sweep across the northern edge of the Central Continent with thunder, establish forward posts and fortresses, and occupy the territory first!"
"As for that Lord of Thunder----"
"Of course we can cooperate, but the dominance must be in our hands. When we gain a foothold in the Central Continent and accumulate enough strength, we will look at the situation and choose to destroy him or give him a chance to surrender - hum, the entire Atlant Continent in the future will be shrouded in the shadow cast by our dragon wings!"
After listening to both opinions, Garos turned his consciousness to the other Iron Dragon.
"Gordon, what do you think?"
Over the years, Iron Dragon Gordon has been mainly responsible for handling the affairs of the Lothern Kingdom, and has gradually become able to take charge of its own affairs.
Therefore, when making some major decisions, Garos will let him participate and listen to different perspectives.
Gordon's response was a little delayed.
"We know too little about the Holden Empire."
He paused and continued, "We should take a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, we can stay on the sidelines and collect intelligence as Sorog said; on the other hand, we may be able to find ways to establish secret channels and try to penetrate into the Holden Empire, or obtain more detailed information from its former subsidiaries and trading partners."
Hearing this, Red Dragon chimed in with a laugh in the link.
"Gordon, your idea sounds good, but infiltrating Holden? It's not easy. Is it possible to package and send you from Lothern? Maybe the royal family and nobles of Holden will also be interested in collecting a Iron Dragon as a pet."
Garos listened quietly to the discussion of blood relatives.
Finally, his voice sounded again.
"We don't need to make an immediate either-or choice on this matter."
"First, send an elite vanguard army south. It does not need to be too large, but it needs to be capable enough. Their task is not to conduct large-scale conquests at this stage, but to set up camp in the unowned area near the edge of the Central Continent and build a preliminary stronghold."
"Secondly, as Sorog and Gordon said, intelligence is crucial."
"Mobilize all the hidden intelligence networks under our command, especially the races and chambers of commerce that have trade or historical connections with the Central Continent, to collect all information related to the Holden Empire at all costs. At the same time, try to find marginal figures or lost families who may still have weak connections with the Holden Empire, and see if we can establish an information channel."
"Okay! Let's take a three-pronged approach!"
Iron Dragon Sorog's mood rose slightly.
From Garos's words, he felt a sense of determination.
Samantha also heard his brother's decision.
She bared her fangs and let out an excited low roar, "Then let the storm come more violently! We will dance in the midst of lightning and flames, and this continent is destined to witness our new grand ambitions!"
The words just fell.
Garos seemed to sense something, and suddenly raised its huge dragon head, looking towards the distant sky in the direction of the Central Continent.
Buzz!
An extremely broad ring-shaped spell ripple started from the sky area of the Central Continent, spread in all directions, and swept across the vast sky and earth in an instant.
Its scope is wide, covering the entire Atlant Continent.
Romanian Plains, where Garos is located, is also among them.
"This is----super large-scale "Message Spell"?"
Garos narrowed his eyes slightly and recognized the basic nature of this spell.
It is not a high-level spell per se.
But being able to cover the entire continent with spell effects is incredible, which is enough to demonstrate its heritage.
There is no doubt about its origin----
Garos's sight was locked on the outlines of giant cities in the distant sky that looked like mirages.
At the same time.
The spell ripples are already in front of you, spreading over Red Emperor Royal City and Garos's dragon body.
There was a moment of silence in the spiritual connection.
Several other blood relatives also received this message at the same time.
The moment ripples pass over the body.
A clearly understandable message naturally comes to mind.
[Notify all forces and intelligent beings across the continent.]
[At dawn today, due to force majeure in the deep plane, an ultra-high-intensity Abyssal Energy outbreak occurred over the original Seventh Resource Zone of the Central Continent, causing serious damage to the empire's "Cloudsky City" Plane Stabilizer was damaged, Plane Stabilizer shattered, and Abyssal Energy escaped rapidly along the rupture. In order to curb the further spread of the disaster and avoid chain reactions, Imperial Core ordered the city to implement the final emergency plan, causing it to fall to the earth's coordinates under control.]
[It is expected that a stable Abyssal Rift will be formed at the fall point. It is expected that a large number of low- and middle-level Abyss organisms will continue to penetrate into Material Plane through this crack. It is expected that this crack will expand rapidly over time in the absence of suppression.]
[According to the ruling of the empire Supreme Decision Council, in view of the complete shift of the empire's development focus, Central Continent's surface resources and territory, from the time of the release of this notice, the empire has given up all claims, ownership and management obligations, and each force can explore and develop the area based on its own strength and willingness]
[The only premise: Abyssal Rift must not be allowed to go out of control and threaten the overall stability of the mainland. Dealing with the rift and the resulting Demon tide is regarded as a necessary condition for obtaining the corresponding territorial rights and interests.]
[Repeat: The Empire has more important matters in the sky, and disputes on the surface have nothing to do with the Empire.]
[Announcement completed.]
The aftertaste of the spell ripples slowly dissipated in the air, but the content it carried was like thunder, exploding one after another in the consciousness of countless listeners, causing waves.
Holden Empire, officially announced that it had given up its right to rule Central Continent, and made it clear that it would not intervene in the subsequent battle for the surface.
The premise is that the mess they left behind can be solved.
"The falling point of Floating City----formed a new Abyssal Rift, and the scale should be quite large.
Garos's pupils shrank slightly and his thoughts changed rapidly.
"At this juncture, they gave up on the surface and made it clear that they would not manage Abyssal Rift - this is not like a decision that a normal empire would make. What exactly happened to Holden?"
Unfortunately, the information in the announcement is limited.
Garos was puzzled, but it was difficult to come up with a definite answer.
But there was one thing he was absolutely sure of.
The trouble Holden Empire encountered was far greater than anyone imagined. It was not just as simple as the loss of one Floating City.
Otherwise, they would not have made today's announcement.
"Breaking news comes one after another - the sky is really going to change, no, the sky has already changed and is collapsing."
Garos took a deep breath and his eyes became sharp.
In the spiritual connection, there is a brief silence.
Even inside and outside Red Emperor Royal City, there was a kind of deathly silence.
Almost all intelligent creatures are digesting the information from Holden, and they all realize that the storm is coming.
"The previous plan remains unchanged."
Garos's voice sounded low.
"Besides this, contact the countries under our command and tell them that Romania is now in a state of emergency and ask them to sign a new wartime treaty."
"The content of the treaty is drawn up by you, and there is only one core point."
"They must completely follow my will!"
"If anyone doesn't want to - let their blood flow like a river."
Whether it is to consolidate forces and resist the spreading Abyss disaster and chaotic war, or to attack strongly and expand outward in the upcoming reshuffle.
The first and only thing that must be done is one.
1. Completely solidify the foundation of its own rule.
Romanian Plains can accommodate many races and can have different cultures and management forms.
However, from now until the unknown future, this land can only have one will, one voice, and one authority that cannot be violated.
The stairs to chaos have been laid out.
And the road to the top is destined to be filled with blood and fire.
"This time, it is no longer a regional conflict or a conquest between kingdoms, but a dramatic change of the times involving the fate of the entire Bernardo--...
"It's not those little fights anymore."
"What awaits me in the end, will I ascend the glorious throne, or will I fall into the eternal darkness with this world?"
Red Emperor stared at the vast sky and whispered slowly.
No one responded to him.
Only the wind howled, blowing violently on his scales, making a hunting sound.
