Footsteps came quickly, and Ironfang Warriors of Red Fort reported outside the palace, "Lord, Lord Black Lake is here."
When the voice fell, a coquettish figure had already walked in, and the frightening coercion forced the sitting Juvenile Dragons to retreat one after another.
"Welcome our most powerful and important member."
Veloa nodded slightly. "In this way, Giant Dragon of Ashmark Lineage have gathered together to discuss the family's next strategic plan."
"If you're bored, just put it all away."
Zane glanced at Veloa on Throne, then looked at the family members on both sides. "The lords of the lands are now returning to their territories and starting to prepare military supplies and dependents. Troops, Lesser Dragon patrol to Ironthorn Castle and stand by to control the border and block the news. When the entire territory is mobilized, we will launch an attack on the Tagoma Kingdom."
Zane's voice was calm and smooth, and her words were simple and direct, but it was like a heavy hammer falling into the calm lake. The gentle atmosphere of the gathering was swept away by her, and all Giant Dragon were stunned.
"Zane·Mellon, do you know where you are talking?"
Veloa's voice became cold. "This is Red Fort, this is the gathering of dragons from Ashmark Lineage. Who are you giving orders to with such arrogance and condescension?"
"I know this is Red Fort, that's why I came here. When I spoke, of course I was giving orders to the dragons here."
Zane looked around, her pupils were red and bright, like pools of blood. "My orders are given, who doesn't obey?"
"Konoe."
Veloa did not answer her words, but instead shouted, "Let the Red Fort guards assemble, call the second Warband into the city, and prepare Armor Break arrows."
"Understood."
It wasn't until the guards obeyed the order and left that Veloa lowered his head again and looked down at the figure in the center of the hall, "Zane, this is not your Black Lake, and you are not qualified to give orders to other family members."
"Whether you are qualified or not depends on the strength in your hands, not who is sitting on Throne."
Zane also looked directly at her. "Veloa, I didn't lift you down from above because you are Taigo's spouse. Unfortunately, you are useless other than that, so I advise you not to challenge my patience."
"A madman, no matter how powerful he is, is just a beast in the end and cannot be respected by anyone."
Veloa stood up and stepped forward. "As long as I am alive, it will not be your turn to give orders here."
"As long as you're alive?"
Zane sneered and repeated, "I want to see if your bones are as hard as your mouth."
The turbulent air waves rolled outward, and Zane revealed its true form in the black smoke. It was a Legendary Iron Dragon that was twenty-two meters long, larger than any Giant Dragon present.
Her scales are pitch black, with flaming edges. Her head is not only huge, but also ferocious, with a somewhat Demons shape. The fangs protrude around her two jaws, like rows of spears.
After falling into a deep sleep, Zane not only recovered from his injuries, but even became stronger, with the disaster reaching Level 22.
Iron Dragon, also an adult and level 18, Veloya, didn't have much power to fight back in front of her.
Seeing Zane appear in its true form, the two adult Tungsten Dragon couldn't help but stand up, showing a guarded posture.
Zane is a lunatic. This guy once killed Karajiege in the dragon council due to some personal matters, regardless of the rules and manners. He did not stop until Taigo got angry and suppressed him.
Now that she has been promoted to legend, she is even more unscrupulous. Zane said she wanted to test the hardness of Veloa's bones, and she really knew how to do it.
"Members of Ashmark Lineage fight to protect the tribe!"
Veloa roared, anger gushing out.
By provoking the family leader in this way, what Zane did was tantamount to rebellion.
The four Tungsten Dragons were each lying down. The Juvenile Dragons subconsciously obeyed the leader's order and spread out one after another, surrounding the Legendary Dragons in the hall.
Gax and Barloz stayed where they were, staring left and right, letting out a dull growl from their throats.
However, despite the offensive posture, most Juvenile Dragon's eyes were still looking at Ferrum, waiting for him to express his attitude.
Ferrum's attitude was unsettling. The heroic Nether Dragon walked into the venue, stood behind Zane, turned around, and faced the other Juvenile Dragon companions.
"If you want to attack, get past me first."
Ferrum said.
In fact, with the reputation accumulated over the years, Ferrum can completely give orders as Juvenile Dragon Leader and oppress the dragons.
But in his heart, he also felt that Zane was too intense, and he did not fully agree with what Zane did.
But no matter what he thinks in his heart, since he promised to be loyal to Zane, he has to stand up and show his support in public and in full view of the public. Other things can only be put aside for the time being and discussed separately.
On the other hand, Ferrum does not want his companions to be trapped in the dilemma between fighting family orders and selfishness like himself.
Therefore, this is the only way to take it in the end.
The situation has become more complicated. There were originally twenty-one Juvenile Dragon and three Archaic Species, five outstanding and powerful people. Their power should not be underestimated. When combined, they were comparable to the adult Giant Dragon. They were originally an important support that Veloa could use.
However, as Ferrum expressed its stance, the Juvenile Dragons also hesitated one after another. Those close companions would never take action against Ferrum. The remaining Juvenile Dragon were also quite hesitant. Only Jelierion and Hidorivi were still maintaining their offensive posture.
"Zane lord, Veloa leader."
Tungsten Dragon Lord had to express his position. Noz slowed down his tone and said comfortingly, "I hope you two can calm down. In fact, there are many things that can be discussed. We hope to use talk to solve the problem instead of using violence. Otherwise, our ethnic group will be the same as Chromatic Dragon."
Zane glanced at him. "So what if there's no difference?"
"In the final analysis, the matter is not that complicated. Lord Zane's opinion is nothing more than attacking Tagoma Kingdom, and we were originally discussing war."
Leighton also said, "Whether it is attacking Tagoma Kingdom, or Wave Sea Islands, or Bloodridge Tribes, we need at least one month of preparation time. We have a long time to prepare for the war while considering the final goal. We are not in a hurry."
Veloa did not speak anymore, but looked directly at Zane coldly. After being violated, she also showed Iron Dragon's toughness. No matter how the situation changed, as long as Zane challenged the majesty of the leader, she would not hesitate to fight.
"Leighton, you take a piece of Nether Iron from me, I haven't settled with you yet."
Zane looked at Leighton, knowing that he would still have to use two Tungsten Dragon after all, so he thought for a moment and said:
"My determination will not change. In one month, one month from now, I will see the entire army reorganized."
After saying that, she turned around and left Red Fort without waiting for any reply.
It wasn't until the breath she left behind was dispersed by the Adult Dragons that the originally tense atmosphere in the hall finally relaxed.
However, this rally could no longer continue.
Barloz and Gax glanced at Ferrum. Ferrum was silent for a moment, bowed his head to apologize to Veloa, and followed Zane away.
Veloya let the dragons disperse one after another. After a long time, Throne slowly sat back down.
The scene just now had actually appeared in her mind many times, but when it actually happened, Veloa still felt tired.
She knew that her power was not enough to subdue Zane, so that the so-called leader's position was never stable, but her determination was as she said, as long as she was not dead, Ashmark Lineage's power would never be allowed to be usurped by Zane.
Zane certainly has power, but that power does not exist for defense and protection. Zane will not protect anyone. All members and descendants are no different from slaves in her eyes. That bastard never agrees with the family's beliefs. Ashmark Lineage is just a tool to realize her ambitions in her heart, so it will not be a pity even if all the members die.
Back then, Blue Dragon came to negotiate a truce. If Zane were in power, that bastard would really betray all his descendants to Chromatic Dragon.
What's more, once Zane gains power, he will not let it go easily. The other Giant Dragon will never have a chance to come forward and can only continue to tumble under her squeeze until they die.
All descendants of Ashmark Lineage members can become leaders, except Zane.
Veloa's chest heaves. Her most desired heir is Jelierion, but Ladon and Ferrum grow faster. She must do her best to defend them all until Ladon comes back, or Ferrum grows up.
What is more distressing is that Ferrum and Zane have always been very close, and just now they directly expressed their support for Zane.
After Ladon left, Ferrum became the only Juvenile Dragon Leader, and his voice was very important.
This makes Veloa feel a little sad.
However, Veloa still believes that Ferrum is just repaying Nether Iron, or succumbing to the power of legend, just like Barloz and Gax. The face of Zane is not yet clear.
The children are still too young. They don't understand now, but they will understand later.
