Time passed. It had been three years since the Black Dragon Caesar went into hiding and hundreds of dragons fell into a chaotic battle.
News spread like snowflakes. Even though Caesar did not deliberately collect information about the war, he could still receive countless pieces of news because he was nearby.
First of all, the outer edges of the Northlands, the Tuhala Desert, and even the territories that Caesar had abandoned were now completely destroyed. The young and old dragons that swarmed here were capable of using ten thousand different methods to beat up the weak native species of the Northlands. This war had implicated countless innocent bystanders. Many species of the Northlands only existed in name only. Even the areas that Caesar had intentionally protected had been damaged multiple times.
And in the first year after the war began, the Ancient Golden Dragon Stannis, who was known as the "Gilded Fire" and had met Caesar once before, shone brightly. He defeated the arrogant and arrogant Red Dragon Kadoze and helped the Metal Dragons completely seize the initiative.
This guy was indeed powerful. His spellcasting ability and physical strength had both reached the peak. He was definitely a top champion and one of the leaders of the entire Airadia Metal Dragons.
With the highest spellcasting ability and spellcasting ability of all the true dragons on this battlefield, the name "Gilded Fire" Stannis was like a great demon king to the colorful dragons. For the next half a year, the colorful dragons who were ordered by the Dragon Queen not to escape could only shiver and hug each other for warmth.
The evil dragons were in a constant state of panic. They were suppressed by the Metal Dragons. During the time when the Red Dragon Kadoze was recovering, they could only defend and could not fight back. However, stories always had a dramatic twist. Just a while ago, a female blue dragon who came from nowhere appeared out of nowhere.
This female blue dragon was a lone dragon. Her size was between an Ancient Dragon and an Ancient Dragon. She did not even have any kin, but she was unbelievably powerful. She tore apart the powerful true dragons of the Metal Dragons many times in battle. The dragon descendants, dragon bloodline vassals, and kind-hearted kin were also slaughtered by her in batches as if she was cutting chives.
'Gilded Fire' Stannis was forced to fight personally, but he was kicked to death in no time. He was beaten to the point that he had to use a teleportation spell to escape far away, and then he had to sneak back to his own camp.
There were no secrets to speak of in front of the Platinum Dragon God, let alone in the midst of a critical war. Thus, under Bahamut's gaze, this unreasonably powerful blue dragon quickly revealed its true form. The true dragons now knew that this blue dragon was actually a secret bloodline that Tiamat had left behind in Airadia. Though it was an intergenerational descendant, as a direct descendant of the Dragon Queen, this blue dragon possessed a powerful bloodline that was almost equal to the ancestral true dragons. It also possessed the most powerful innate ability in the prime material plane.
Apart from that, its body also possessed all sorts of unparalleled abilities that were on par with legendary true dragons. Coupled with the dragon's painstaking research in battle and the natural advantage of draconic aura, it should be the most powerful true dragon that had appeared today. It was also one of the most powerful creatures in the Northern Continent, perhaps even in all of Airadia.
It was worth noting that tens of thousands of years had passed since Tiamat descended to the mortal world and entered Eladia in the third era. Logically speaking, if the blood descendants she left behind did not die, they should have grown to the point where they were close to becoming gods. They should have been rejected by the main material world and entered the astral world.
However, this blue dragon did not seem to have reached the age of a thousand years.
After further investigation, the Metal Dragon discovered that its power had been deliberately suppressed by Tiamat. Its power level was within the threshold that Airadia could bear without any rejection.
This blue dragon was the secret weapon that the Dragon Queen had left behind in Airadia. It spent most of its time sealed, unable to feel the passage of time. It would only awaken when necessary to protect the Dragon Queen's dignity and stabilize the position of the evil dragon.
What Tiamat really wanted to use to deal with Caesar was not those young and old dragons, nor was it the legendary Red Dragon Kadoze. It was not even her own apostle who had descended. Instead, it was this bloodline that had been sealed for a long time and hidden deeply.
However, Caesar was extremely crafty. After dragging the Metal Dragon and the Rainbow Dragon in, he slipped away without a word. The blue dragon bloodline that Tiamat had prepared was thus useless. It was accidentally used to deal a blow to the Metal Dragon that was growing in power.
The existence of the blue dragon bloodline was something that even Bahamut did not expect. The Dragon Queen had spent a lot of effort to deceive him. It was to the extent that Bahamut only realized that the Dragon Queen had placed such a hidden card in Airadia when this dragon was completely exposed.
After all, the original Divine Title of the Dragon Queen was the "Dragon of Trickery". She relied on scheming to devour her brothers and sisters to climb up the ranks. When it came to playing these tricks, the pure and kind Platinum Dragon was no match for Tiamat.
The appearance of the blue dragon caused the situation in the Northern Lands to change drastically. Most of the Metal Dragons were Mage Dragons that focused on spellcasting and strength. The only one that was especially strong, with both magic and physical strength, "Gilded Fire", had already been proven to be no match for the blue dragon. There was no need to mention the rest.
As the "granddaughter" of the Five-Headed Dragon Queen, the blue dragon's physical resistance was not inferior to some Legendary-level dragon species. This meant that many spells and energy attacks were ineffective against it. Against the main forces of the Metal Dragons, the blue dragon could take on four to five, or even six to seven Gold Dragons and Silver Dragons.
Even if they were able to surround and defeat the blue dragon, the Metal Dragons would find it difficult to truly kill it. The blue dragon's terrifying recovery speed meant that it would be able to make a comeback very quickly. The Dragon Queen's subordinates and Dragon Descendants that were sent to fight the blue dragon were simply food for the blue dragon. This caused the Metal Dragons to fall into an awkward situation.
It wasn't that Bahamut didn't think of using the Apostles to punish this dazzling blue dragon, but the Dragon Queen would always follow closely behind him. Not to mention, the Apostles without the support of Divinity might not be able to do much to this powerful blue dragon in a one-on-one battle. There was even the risk of being killed.
The invincible blue dragon Sylvie Alex replaced the Red Dragon Cadoze and was welcomed by the passionate Color Dragons as the new leader of their side. From then on, the "Tyrant" became her nickname, spreading from the Northlands to the continent.
Coupled with the Evil Dragon Descendants that appeared one after another to join the battle, the difference in high-end combat strength between the two sides was rapidly shrinking. The consecutive losses caused the morale of the Metal Dragons to plummet. Some thoughts of retreating and giving up started to spread. The balance of the battle was quickly tipping towards the Evil Dragons' side.
Just as they were stuck between a rock and a hard place, the Metal Dragons suddenly thought of a "Tyrant" that they could deal with.

Note: Evil Dragon Descendants — The product of Tiamat's magical experiments and forcefully awakening the evil powers of the Color Dragons. Usually, only a single egg in a nest would be affected. A specific Evil Dragon Descendant would only match the color of the dragon that gave birth to it. Together with the word "Descendant", it formed a part of its name. For example, the Black Dragon Descendant and the White Dragon Descendant.
The Evil Dragon Descendants rarely stayed with their parents for long periods of time. They were unreservedly loyal to Tiamat. Their maturation speed far exceeded that of the True Dragons. They only needed a few years to reach adulthood, but the price was that they would permanently lose their reproductive ability.
