Glittergold Empire's capital, Garoline.
The Empire's Emperor, Namesses VIII, was sitting on a chair, looking down at his subjects.
Although the Emperor was already in his sixties, his imposing aura and majesty still accompanied him like a shadow.
He was the supreme ruler of this empire. He had spent his entire life to change this empire and make himself stronger.
Now, the war with the Scal Federation was his final act. This had always been his dream.
The Glittergold Empire and the Scal Federation had been entangled for too long. This was his last chance. Before he handed over the throne, he wanted to completely realize the dreams of his ancestors. He wanted to annex the entire Scal Federation and make the Glittergold Empire a first-rate empire.
After annexing the Scal Federation, the Glittergold Empire could use the danger of the Eagle Plateau to expand northward. At that time, a new era would arrive.
Currently, there was good news coming from all fronts. Although the Scal Federation had begun to resist after the initial defeat, the situation was no longer as easy as it was at the beginning. However, Namesses VIII didn't care. War was also a game. Whoever had the upper hand would have the upper hand.
Although the Scal Federation had organized a resistance, it was too late. In the worst case scenario, they might lose nearly half of their land.
Thus, in the Emperor's opinion, the Scal Federation's resistance was meaningless.
Their ancestors had once united for a common belief, but it seemed that their descendants didn't have the courage to do so.
However, there was another matter that worried the Emperor.
He heard that the Scal Federation's Holy Church branch was making some moves. Although he didn't know what they wanted to do, it didn't seem to be a good thing.
Although the Emperor was ambitious, he wasn't stupid. If he got involved in a fight with the Holy Church, the Empire would lose more than it gained.
There was also another matter …
"How's the situation in Pasus?"
For some reason, this name suddenly appeared in the Emperor's mind. When he thought of this name, he instinctively felt his heart palpitate. It was as if something made him feel uneasy.
Thus, he frowned and asked.
Facing the Emperor's question, the ministers were stunned. If it were in the past, perhaps they wouldn't even know what kind of place Passus was.
However, thanks to Zayen's "arrogant" official document, basically everyone in the upper echelons of the Glittergold Empire knew about that place.
Facing the Emperor's question, everyone exchanged looks with one another. Then, the Grand Council, Darke, stepped forward and said.
"Your Majesty, there's no news from General Frank regarding the Passus campaign."
"Why are you so slow!"
The old emperor harrumphed coldly.
"How could a rural area be harder than taking down Sarte?
What the hell was Frank doing!
Right now, everyone outside is watching the empire as a joke. Can you endure the humiliation and mockery of the empire by a country lord?! "
"Yes … … This is our negligence. General Frank has assigned General Barkley and Commander Charlotte to handle this matter. I believe there will be results soon."
In the face of the old Emperor's questioning, the Grand Council sweated profusely. All he could do was lower his head and nod in agreement.
He was also a soldier, so he naturally knew that Frank was doing the right thing.
Although according to the Emperor's intention, the Glittergold Empire should gather its army and completely wipe out Passus, the problem was that the war had already begun. Each major legion had their own areas of responsibility, and the Scal Federation was fiercely resisting. If the other legions were to be mobilized, there was a high chance that all their previous efforts would be in vain. The annihilation of the frontline division had already caused the empire's military strength to be a little tight. If the Glittergold Empire's main force were to gather in order to attack Passus, then the Scal Federation would definitely wake up laughing even in their dreams.
However, these words couldn't be said to the Emperor, so he could only take the blame.
"That better be the case!"
Hearing the Grand Council's answer, the old Emperor snorted coldly.
"The other party is just a country lord. If anything goes wrong, then I will hold you responsible!"
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty. I assure you that there will definitely be no problems."
Hearing until here, the Grand Council's sweat dripped down like rain. He nervously wiped the beads of sweat off his forehead while replying.
Hearing his answer, the old Emperor nodded. But before he said anything, a series of rapid bell sounds suddenly sounded, breaking the silence in the hall.
What happened?
Hearing the bell sounds, the ministers looked at each other. Of course, they knew that the bell was warning the inner city that there was a large army attacking. But the problem was that they were now in the Glittergold Empire's capital, and they were in the royal city. Who could be attacking here?
A coup?
Or a false alarm?
It couldn't be that someone would really attack the royal city, right?
"Report …!!!"
At this moment, a guard rushed into the great hall. He didn't even care about the civil and military officials on both sides and knelt on one knee before the Emperor. Then, he lifted his head and spoke anxiously.
"Report, Your Majesty. The royal city is under attack. The enemy is menacing. The situation here is critical. Please leave immediately!"
The guard's words were like a spark igniting in oil. In an instant, the entire hall was in an uproar. Everyone stood there dumbfounded, not knowing how to understand this information. In an instant, the entire hall was abnormally noisy. No one knew what this meant.
At this moment, the old Emperor's voice sounded again.
"Silence!
All of you, be quiet!! "
Hearing the old Emperor's roar, the frightened nobles regained their composure and looked at their Emperor again.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the old emperor maintained his dignified and stern expression as he stared coldly at the soldiers before him.
"Who is it?
Who has the guts to attack the royal city?! "
"It's the Giant Dragons!!
Your Majesty, it's a group of Giant Dragons!!! "
Strong winds howled.
The snow-white, huge group of Giant Dragons rushed out of the clouds and flew forward.
Not far below them, the Glittergold Empire's royal city was already in sight.
They could clearly see the people below frantically running away. These were hundreds of Giant Dragons, after all. Their combined might was enough to make those with weak souls completely collapse and fall into the abyss of death.
When the shadows of the dragons swept across the sky, the people below completely collapsed. At the moment when they were shrouded by the shadows of darkness, they seemed to let out a cry from the other side of the world in the depths of their hearts. It was as if they had been completely abandoned by this world, becoming the most insignificant existence in the infinite darkness. Despair, helplessness, and fear completely erupted at this moment, engulfing their souls.
"Our target is right in front of us."
Standing on the back of the Azure Dragon, Jenn looked at the royal city in front of him.
There, he could see something that looked like a dark cloud rising into the sky, flying quickly towards them.
Of course, he knew that this was the Glittergold Empire's only aerial force, the dragonite air force responsible for protecting the royal family. However, in Jenn's eyes, these things were completely meaningless.
"There are watchdogs blocking the way. I'll leave it to you, Pattilina!"
"Got it. Leave it to me, Master!"
Upon hearing Jenn's command, the little one who was lying behind him and watching the clouds jumped up. Pattilina didn't participate in the previous battle and only sneak attacked the Archmage from afar, which made Pattilina's heart itch. Now, she finally returned to the battlefield and once again led the Azure Legion to start a new war. Although in Pattilina's opinion, these enemies weren't as strong as the Zerg Queen and the Reapers, they were still enemies.
"Emissaries of the Azure Dragon, heed my command!"
Pattilina stood on the top of the Azure Dragon's head and raised the spear in her hand high.
"I am Pattilina, I am the Starlight Knight, the ruler of the trillions of stars!
At this moment, I will use the Milky Way as my signal and the Azure Dragon as my flag to once again reproduce the ancient glory and brilliance.
Now, let these foolish and insignificant scum personally experience our might. We will bring destruction, and we will be reborn …! "
As she spoke, Pattilina tightened her grip on the spear and swung it forward with force.
"Azure Legion, attack!
For the peaceful, azure world! "
"— — — —!"
Along with Pattilina's command, the Azure Dragons let out an earth-shattering roar. At the next moment, the battle began.
For ordinary Azure Dragons, they would first use their Dragon Breath, followed by close-range attacks with various incantations and support, and then engage in melee combat without any grace to speak of.
But the Azure Legion was different. They were the representatives of a mechanical civilization. Due to that, when they discovered the Azure Dragon Legion, they didn't unleash their Dragon Breath like ordinary Azure Dragons. Instead, in a series of furious roars, the pair of huge metal cannons on the Azure Dragon's back began to rotate and elongate, moving and aiming at the enemies before them.
The huge metal cannons rotated and loaded into the cannons. At the next moment, there was a loud explosion.
A series of flares erupted among the Azure Dragon Legion. Hundreds of dazzling, meteor-like radiance erupted from the cannons, whistling toward the enemies before them. At the next moment, the Azure Dragon Legion was engulfed by a large, continuous cloud of flames. The Azure Dragon Knights fell from the sky, mercilessly devouring and spreading the flames on the Azure Dragons and their controllers, turning them into a pile of charred flesh.
In just one attack, the tight defensive line of the Azure Dragon Legion was torn into pieces.
What exactly is going on?
The commander riding on the Azure Dragon stared blankly at the scene before him. It wasn't that he hadn't faced Azure Dragons before, but this group of Azure Dragons was clearly different.
One must know that the Dragon Breath didn't have such a long range. They didn't even have the time to retaliate. Or perhaps, the Azure Dragons hadn't even entered their attack range. They couldn't hit them even if they wanted to!
What kind of Azure Dragon is this?
But before he could think too much about it, the Pale Blue Legion had already crashed into the Draconic Legion's defensive line, which was already riddled with holes from the bombardment.
What followed was a one-sided massacre.
"This is meaningless."
Jenn shrugged as he looked at the battle before him.
Azure Dragons were one of the rarer magical creatures on the Klein Continent. Of course, they were only Azure Dragons and couldn't be compared to real Azure Dragons.
Although Jenn's Azure Dragon Legion wasn't a real Azure Dragon, these Azure Dragons were genetically modified from real Azure Dragons and mass-produced. So even if they weren't as good as the original Azure Dragons, there wouldn't be too much of a difference.
However, the Azure Dragons were different. After thousands of years of evolution, they were completely different from their ancestors.
If Zayen's pseudo-dragon compared to a real dragon was the difference between a dolphin and a whale, then the sky dragon would be like a carp on a dining table compared to them.
It's still not imposing enough.
Looking at the Azure Dragon Legion, Jenn let out a sigh.
He had personally witnessed the overwhelming might of his younger sister's Dark Dragon Legion. When the Dark Dragon Legion moved out, from one side of the horizon to the other, there was nothing else but the massive, pitch-black Dragon Legion.
On the Blood Battlefield, the Dark Dragon Legion could easily destroy a country, while the Azure Dragon Legion could only surround the King City and flaunt their might.
Fortunately, as his summoned creatures, the Azure Dragon Legion could also be upgraded. According to Pattilina, if the Azure Dragon Legion could be upgraded to the original level, then Jenn's goal could really be changed to the Sea of Stars.
But that was a matter for the future, after all.
At this thought, Jenn lowered his head and looked at the King City below.
Next, it was time to settle the score.
