March, Dragonbirth Day.
Ferrum lit a fire in the square, whether it was in Ochre Valley or later spread across the wilderness, Dragonbirth Day Hatchling Dragon people would celebrate every year. This is a habit developed by their family and Nurturer.
It's a pity that Nurturer didn't come to host this time, so Ferrum took over the task, but he also sent people to bring them meat and wine. The portion and quality were far better than before.
"Ferrum boss."
Hearing this title, Ferrum couldn't help but be in a daze for a moment, and then he saw Nipo walking from the town with several Cobalt Dragon.
Nipo looked at Ferrum's body, his eyes stayed on Ferrum's membrane wings for a long time, moving up and down, and said, "You have become a lot uglier."
Then she jumped up and rubbed her head against Ferrum: "But I still like you."
"Nipo, I heard that when you came to Ash Fortress, you brought a whole fleet of sundries with you."
Ferrum looked at her and smiled, "We are leaving for Shien Peninsula soon, have you packed up?"
"Shien Peninsula..."
Nipo wrinkled the scales on his forehead, and after a long while, he said loudly, "So what about Shien Peninsula, I have already prepared it. I heard that it is a very wealthy place, ten times better than Lost Wilderness. You can make money no matter what."
Ferrum was about to respond when a burst of magic swept over them with strong repulsion, forcing them to separate.
Afterglow walked to Ferrum, tilted his head and looked at Nipo: "Who are you?"
Nipo looked at the bright red Feather Dragon and bared his teeth at her, but did not reply. He ran to the side, took some raw meat and fruits, and grilled them on the fire. Cobalt Dragon liked cooked food just like Iron Dragon.
Ferrum saw Jelierion and Hidorivi. Jelierion has the talent of "Accelerated Growth" and already has the body shape of Juvenile Dragon, which is ten meters long and as tall as Kेलaili.
"On this day, I will be ten years old."
He came to Ferrum, nodded and said, "Ferrum, you are the most powerful among us, don't forget Ember Scar's name."
Ferrum looked at him. Jelierion seemed to have something to say, but he didn't say much. He just took Hidorivi to sit aside and looked at the bonfire in the square.
Except for Ladon, all Hatchling Dragon gradually gathered together, but perhaps because too many of their companions died, or perhaps just because the wind and snow were too heavy and the weather was too bad, every dragon's face looked gloomy.
It's a festival, but it's more like attending someone's funeral.
Around the bonfire, they reluctantly drank some wine and talked a few words each, talking about the situation of Shien Peninsula, but gradually they ran out of words.
In the final analysis, Hatchling Dragons don't know much about that place, and all the information comes from Great Dragon's dictation. Therefore, after all the talk, there is only a long silence.
This year's Dragonbirth Day gradually comes to an end in silence and is on the verge of ending.
"Damn it, does the family think we are fools?"
Finally, a Tungsten Dragon couldn't stand the silence anymore and smashed the bowl angrily. "Speaking of reducing unnecessary casualties, if we can really win, it is enough for us to stay in Red Fort. Why go to Shien Peninsula to avoid the war? It is simply a deserter! In the era when Supreme is still alive, this kind of Tungsten Dragon will be judged."
"We also retreated from Battlefield. Everyone knows what the situation of this war has been until now. Storm Family still has eight Great Dragon and a dozen Juvenile Dragon, with nearly 80,000 soldiers."
His companions also spoke out, "The reinforcements have not arrived yet. We are leaving now. Apart from the four Great Dragon lords, who else can lead the army? Who else can go out to fight? If we fight like this, the remaining 30,000 troops will probably be wiped out in an instant."
"If you want to leave, go ahead."
The Tungsten Dragons all said, "If we don't leave anyway, the worst we can do is die here together with the two Nolantel lords."
The fire crackled, making their eyes turn red and their fangs exposed.
"Are you going to sing again?"
Afterglow laughed softly, "I have discovered that you Tungsten Dragon, who usually remain silent, are actually the most courageous, right?"
Her smile made the Tungsten Dragons feel shy and slightly embarrassed.
No one answered immediately.
The stone bowl shattered on the ground, the aroma of wine slowly dispersed, and the biting wind stirred up huge snow dust, whistling over and over again outside Ash Fortress. The sound of the wind was like a ghost crying.
"I'm not leaving either."
After a long while, Ichijo Nickel Dragon said, "Nickel Dragon can't bear the hatred at all. All my compatriots died in this war, but I went to Shien Peninsula to survive. When one day I am burned to death by the hatred in my heart, Bido boss and the others will tear me apart in hell."
The dragons all fell silent, exchanging glances with each other, the firelight dancing and flashing in their eyes.
Barloz lowered his gaze. "If there is no one around to pour wine, mother will be very distressed, right?"
The Gax next to him did not speak, but slowly sharpened his claws. The Dragonslayer Blade in his stomach had not yet been spit out, and he had already made up his mind that there was no need to say more.
"Lost Wilderness generations have been the land of Ashmark Lineage. My ancestors fought here. After they died in the battle, it will be my father's turn. If my father's generation also dies, then it will be my turn and Jelierion's."
Hidorivi stood up and said, "In order to preserve the fire, Hatchling Dragon should indeed leave, but Jelierion and I carry the surname Ember Scar on our backs, so there is absolutely no reason to flee."
"Charging into battle, there is life or death."
Kेलaili Chen Xiong said, "When it comes to bravery, we Cobalt Dragon are the bravest."
"Overlord, you are going to charge into the battle, but don't take me with you."
Nipo looked left and right and shrank his head. "I am the youngest here, so the most I can do is replenish your vitality from behind."
Hatchling Dragons burst out laughing. The laughter was short, but it cheered up the atmosphere in the square.
"I don't want to go to Shien Peninsula, I want to go to Great Glacier."
Nili said, "I am not very adaptable to my family's life, but it would be too shameful to run away from the battlefield, so I'd better wait until the war is over before leaving."
"Lesser Dragons have long decided to stay."
Afterglow said, "We have no inheritance and can't do anything outside. It's better to stay with Nurturer."
As she said this, she quietly hooked Ferrum's tail.
Ferrum responds with a stronger pull.
"My wish is to be a bard and a master of cooking. It would have been good to go to Shien Peninsula."
Moqi murmured in a low voice and quickly added, "But if Ferrum doesn't leave, I definitely won't leave either."
"The chef is very good, so I can be a gourmet part-time."
Kेलaili said angrily.
"He is a cooking master, not a chef." Moqi emphasized.
Hatchling Dragon finally couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the laughter crossed the fire and echoed back and forth in the wind.
No one mentioned any nonsense about Shien Peninsula. Everyone started drinking heavily, and under Moqi's questioning, they gradually revealed their wishes.
Dragons rarely talk like this, but they may die tomorrow, so they don't find it difficult to talk about their fighting spirit while drinking wine.
Jelierion and Hidorivi said they would rebuild the glory of Ember Scar, Gax and Barloz said they would level Eastern Continent, Nipo plans to collect the world's wealth, Afterglow wants to be the best spell caster, In Tas just wants to become a respected warrior...
"So, what about Ferrum?"
Jili asked, "Is Ferrum's wish to become Supreme?"
Every dragon feels that Ferrum has a chance to become Supreme, but he may have to face another strong competitor. In the snow curtain, a tall dragon stands on the wall, silently staring at everything happening in the square.
"What's so great about Supreme?"
Ferrum was inspired by them and became a little more heroic. "I want to become the highest star, the sun and moon in the sky, shining on all the worlds just like Taigo shines on the wilderness. No dragon or god can cover up my light."
"Bragging."
Afterglow demolished without mercy.
Ferrum snorted coldly, "I think you don't know the power of Archaic Species."
He threw Afterglow to the ground in public, biting and fighting with each other.
As a result, the scene became more and more lively, with Lesser Dragons making noises nearby, Tungsten Dragons drinking and singing, Iron Dragon and Cobalt Dragon scrambling for the baked cooked food, Chrome Dragon and Nickel Dragon getting together and narrating their respective conspiracies in a low voice.
They started yelling. It turned out that no one really wanted to leave. They were no longer Dragon Hatchling, and they did not necessarily have to obey the family's arrangements.
Hatchling Dragons have their own fighting spirit and are still determined to join in this war. After saying their wishes, they gathered their strength together and made a promise on the snowy night, vowing to become a fire that soars into the sky.
In Ferrum's Fate Starry Sky, projections appeared one after another.
