The red dragon spread its wings, and with the roar of the wind, the red figure cut through the sky like a comet.
Cassius looked down at the hot, lava-flowing earth.
"Finally here."
"Now that we have come to the fire elemental plane, of course we must see the legendary City of Brass and the Burning War."
High-temperature steam clouds were seen billowing on the flaming earth, and rivers of flames and magma flowed through the deformed and ferocious surface. Sometimes the magma rivers rushed down the cliffs, forming huge and spectacular fire waterfalls.
The place is always bathed in light, with flames constantly emitting from the ground, air, buildings, and even some of the local residents.
But it is not the bright light that causes visual impairment, but the influence of the hot and smoky atmosphere. The air creates hairsprings due to heat, so what dances at the end of the observer's line of sight is only a mirage, while the real environment in the distance is hidden.
This is the center of the entire fire elemental plane, and it is also the hottest place with the most violent elemental reactions. It is called the "Heart of Flame" by the local residents.
But there is a majestic city in the distance - this city is located on a forty-mile-diameter brass hemisphere, floating above a cracked obsidian continent in the center of the Fire Elemental Plane.
Stairs of burning basalt and rivers of fire lead to the heavily defended city gates.
Views within the city are normal, and the plane's harrowing nature is suppressed at the will of the Great Sultan.
This is the City of Brass, the home and capital of the efreets. It is the most famous area on the elemental plane of fire and the place most likely to be visited by travelers from the material plane.
The center of the city has the tallest tower and the largest flame fountain in the city. It is also the location of the burning palace of the Great Sultan, who rules over all the efreets from his throne of charcoal.
It is said that in that palace, there are incredible wonders and immeasurable treasures that the fire djinn have plundered from all over the world for thousands of years, but no one has ever succeeded in getting even a gold coin inside. All the guests were burned to ashes by the wrath of the Great Sultan.
But the City of Brass is not peaceful at this moment.
On the city wall are thousands of efreet warriors wearing brass armor, holding scimitars, spears, and riding giant flaming crossbows, standing ready.
Outside the city gate, there is a motley army composed of hundreds of thousands of salamander slaves, thousands of flame dragons, dozens of multi-headed salamanders and other creatures.
There were also demonic legions from hell walking out of the portal, and the fire elemental elders, Lava General and Smoke Duke sent by the Evil Fire Prince Imister also obeyed the order and came to display in front of the formation.
The red giant who was more than ten meters tall, the Pasha of the Fire Djinn, raised his machete symbolizing glory and shouted loudly.
These evil fire elemental creatures roared and roared, "For the Fire Djinn Empire!" "For the Great Sultan!" The voices of "Sacrifice to the Flame God" resounded through the sky.
Opposite them, on the obsidian continent full of cracks, was the rebel army that resisted the rule of the efreeti - the Holy Flame Legion.
Its personnel composition is extremely complex, including liberated slaves of fire dwarves, humans, elves and other races; there are blazing angels and armored servants who come from heaven to help; there are also elemental apostles and elemental nobles who follow the good lord of the fire element. them.
The most dazzling thing is the existence that stands on the top of the obsidian mountain - the legendary kind-hearted Lord of the Fire Element, Zaman, who is revered as the "Prince of Holy Flame", "Rekindling Ember" and "Never-extinguishing Fire of Resistance" .ruhr.
This elemental king is tall and majestic, standing more than ten meters tall. He looks like a high-spirited elemental youth.
His eyes burst out with intense light, and his beard and hair were blazing fire.
Zaman Lur stood on the top of the mountain with his spear propped up on the ground. His eyes widened, glaring angrily at the fire djinn who enslaved the people of the fire elemental plane.
The extremely sharp spear tip shone in the firelight, and there was a faint trace of blood on it, giving off an aura capable of destroying all dangers.
This is the legendary "Holy Flame Spear", the artifact that pierced the great sultan's chest a few months ago.
As the master of the fire element, even if he is a being who tends to be in the good camp, Zaman Rul still possesses all the dangerous characteristics of fire: manic, violent, and burning of all things. His eyes were always filled with vengeful anger, which seemed to never go out. It was the anger against all evil creatures, especially the Evil Fire Prince Imist.
Zaman Ruhl's entanglement with Imist has been around for a long time, and has existed since his birth - because he is the son of Imix and Bricia Pell.
Bricia Pell, known as the "Princess of Eternal Flame", was the former Lord of the Fire Element, but was murdered thousands of years ago during the war between Chaos and Order.
From then on, Zaman Ruel inherited his mother's legacy and devoted himself to getting rid of Imist and returning order and kindness to the fire elemental plane.
It was not until a few decades ago that Kassuth noticed the intentions of Imist and the Great Sultan, and gave Zaman more power, allowing him to start this massive Burning War.
The beings from the good camp gathered here, and beside Zaman Rul, there was even an ancient golden dragon from Heaven Mountain as an ally.
Cassius waved his wings, allowing himself to stay in the sky more than ten miles away from the City of Brass, observing everything with the help of the Tribulation Dragon Eye.
In his eyes, the battlefield was filled with extremely dense light clusters, like stars.
"This is the 'Prince of Holy Flame' Zaman Ruel. He is indeed a fire elemental king from the good camp."
"What a terrifying power."
"That body is like a moving volcano, full of violent energy."
Cassius commented.
【Prince of Holy Flame-Zaman Ruhr】
Challenge level:? ? ?
The fact that the current Cassius can't see his comprehensive strength can only mean that the challenge level of this kind-hearted fire element king has reached level 30 or above, and he has absolute god-like power.
Even by feeling, the red dragon could feel the extremely violent and extremely hot fire element, which was far more powerful than the little elemental power he controlled.
On the obsidian hillside, there are also powerful creatures of the good camp such as the Ancient Golden Dragon, the Blazing God, and the Supreme Sky. The strength of several of them is even close to Cassius.
The same is true for the fire djinn side. The great devils from hell and the elemental nobles under Imister are not willing to give in.
Cassius's expression suddenly became serious.
With the enemy like this, the power of the Fire Giant Sultan was probably more powerful than he imagined. Fortunately, the opponent was seriously injured, and he did not fight to the death.
Looking at both sides of the battle formation, he couldn't help but marvel.
"What a high-standard lineup, it is indeed the work of Cassus. If the current Imperial Legion is put into such a battlefield, I am afraid it will not make much splash."
"Wait-"
Suddenly, the red dragon felt several extremely dangerous gazes cast at him at the same time, causing his breathing to quicken and his huge heart to beat rapidly.
"It's a little dangerous"
"They noticed me! No, it wasn't just him!"
He could feel that this gaze came not only from the obsidian peak, but also from within the city of brass. (End of chapter)
