The red dragon flew along the air path composed of flames and smoke, flew over the venue under the focus of hundreds of thousands of eyes, and finally landed on the high platform with a crash.
"Boom!"
The ground seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer, causing violent vibrations, dust filling the sky, and gravel flying.
Even though the rock platform is fifty meters high, it still looks extremely small under the huge body of the red dragon.
Only when you really stand in front of this giant dragon can you feel your own insignificance and the majesty of the dragon. The sense of oppression brought by this huge monster is enough to suffocate.
It was the first time for many people to see His Majesty at such a close distance. Their legs were trembling, and some even fainted.
"Kay, Cassius is on"
"Is this His Majesty the Emperor? He is so majestic"
Their brains have imagined the crushing that the dragon may cause to them, and they are often unable to resist such crushing. If there are players here, they should be able to tell that this is the so-called "monophobia".
However, compared to the hundreds of thousands of spectators present, the fainting of those people was just a small episode.
Cassius stood on the high platform, looking down at the crowd below with his pale golden eyes, scanning the faces that were completely different but showed the same enthusiasm.
Whether they were humans, tieflings, hobgoblins, half-dragons or ogres, their faces showed no trace of fear, but instead were filled with enthusiasm.
very good.
This is what he wants.
After looking around, the red dragon slowly spoke, and a sound as heavy as thunder surged out of his throat and spread throughout the plain.
"I believe you already know who the enemy of the empire is this time——
demon.
They come from the bottomless abyss and are called the destroyers of worlds, a collection of evil and chaos, and monsters that bring fear
Hearing this - are you scared? ”
"No!"
"We will defeat the devil!"
"Drive those worms back into the abyss!"
The people of the empire suddenly became furious. They loudly cursed the demons, and some even waved the "Kill the Demons" flag.
Adroville felt the anger of the people and felt more and more incredible that they were really not afraid!
Cassius on the high platform nodded slightly, deliberately raised his voice, and continued: "But - they picked the wrong opponent!
They chose to become enemies of the Ember Empire. They attacked cities, assassinated officials, and attempted to undermine the order of the empire.
But - this is wishful thinking!
Now, I stand here, launching a holy revenge against the devil in the name of Emperor Burning Ember!
I declare that the Ember Empire declares war on the bottomless abyss. All citizens of the empire have the responsibility to kill every demon that appears in front of them!
The Empire will hold nothing back and fight to the end, we will slay the demons in the wastelands, we will slay the demons in the mountains, we will slay the demons in the skies."
Cassius's impassioned words echoed across the plains and even across the Anzeta Wasteland.
Under the almost divine charisma of the red dragon, everyone present was infected by his words and speeches, and fell into extreme resentment against the devil.
Even the silver dragon Adroviel lurking in the crowd felt his heart surge and his blood boiling.
"If the devil will bring fear to the world, then the empire will bring fear to the devil!"
Finally, Cassius stood up slowly, unfolded his extremely broad wings, exposed his sharp teeth, and a ferocious smile appeared on the dragon's face.
"Crush them!"
"For the Ember Empire!"
Doro stood on top of a steam tank and raised his arms first to shout, followed closely by the hobgoblin infantry regiment.
"For the Ember Empire!"
"For His Majesty Cassius!"
Soon, cheers came together and swept through the venue like a wave. Whether they were civilians, soldiers or officials, they all had only one identity at this moment - imperial citizens.
"Long live His Majesty Cassius!"
"For Emperor Burning Ember!"
"Loyalty! Sincerity!"
"Kill those demons!"
The venue was filled with roars and tsunamis. Hundreds of thousands of imperial people were enthusiastic, raising their arms and shouting, all wanting to prove their loyalty in front of His Majesty.
The flying dragon hovering in the sky roared with all its strength, while the dragon beast on the ground pounded the ground rhythmically, spewing out clouds of hot smoke and making a dull roar.
The white dragon Tinia also flew into the air, fanned away several bipedal flying dragons, occupied the position closest to the red dragon, and let out an excited cry.
"Ouch~~"
There were also portals of different colors opening in the distance, from which legions from all over the empire poured out.
"For the great Ember Empire!" "Praise to the Soul-Eating Dragon!"
"Hiss! (Fire language, translated as: For the Empire)"
Along with ashes and sparks flying all over the sky, legions of elemental creatures such as salamanders, flame dragons, and fire dwarves poured out of the portal.
"The people of fire who were liberated by His Majesty Cassius! The time has come to repay the kindness and repay His Majesty!"
Give the demons a taste of true fire! ”
"For the Ember Empire!"
The colonial governor of the Empire's fire element, Marquis Serkan Wood, was riding on the back of a multi-headed basilisk, holding up a spear filled with flames.
Then, he placed his fist on his heart and gave a standard "loyalty salute" to the red dragon on the high platform.
"Children of the night."
At the whisper of the lich, dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, casting huge shadows on the ground.
A dark, black hole-like vortex appeared in the shadows and floated on the ground - it was the portal leading to the Underdark.
Immediately afterwards, huge skeletal green-footed dragon snakes emerged from it, followed by a large number of undead legions, followed by underground legions composed of gray dwarves, underground gnomes, drow, etc.
The colonial general of the empire's underdark region, Marquis Hart, is riding on the back of a skeletal dragon.
He raised the blood-stained sword that had killed countless people, and a cruel smile appeared in his dark eyes.
"For His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Kill all those demons!"
Ingrid, the former honorary bishop of the Amaunata Church and now the imperial priest, waved her staff and drew the shape of the door in mid-air.
"Gate to another world!"
Another gate opened in mid-air, this time leading to the outer plane full of wild nature - the Zoo of Ten Thousand Beasts.
"Roar!"
"Ouch!"
"Legion of Beasts! Fight for the Empire!"
The former chief of the lizardmen and now the governor of the Imperial Beast Garden Expeditionary Force, Marquis Aker Longtusk, raised his spear high.
Koda Blackscale Shaman rides on the back of a polar bear, waving a deadwood scepter.
Thousands of lizardmen soldiers followed, and hundreds of imperial druids controlled various beasts, bringing a surging tide of beasts.
Wild beasts such as arrow eagles, griffins, rhinos, dire beasts, raptors, violent tigers, and basilisks poured out of the portal. They were frightened by the power of the dragon, and they all bowed in the direction of the red dragon.
Amid the fanatical crowd, Adrovil watched in stunned silence as portals opened and various creatures appeared in the venue.
What is he here for?
Does such a country still need to seek assistance from Myhrvold?
Suddenly, Jennysis next to her pointed at the sky, frowned and said, "Look there!"
I saw another portal opening, and huge and ferocious blue dragons flew out, headed by a smaller young female blue dragon - that was the blue dragon of the Faria family.
Janesis glanced at the blue dragon in the sky, and then stared at the red dragon on the high platform for a long time, gritted her teeth and said: "No, we will go if we can't lose! Myhrvold can't lose to them!"
Adrovil wondered: "What?"
"Shua——"
Janesis jumped up and transformed into a graceful silver dragon in the astonished eyes of everyone. She flapped her wings and flew in the direction of Cassius.
"This"
"Okay."
Adroviel shook his head helplessly, and had no choice but to transform into the huge silver dragon body, flap his shiny wings, and soar into the sky.
And under his command, ten more silver dragons rose up from the crowd one after another and headed to the surroundings of the high platform.
Amid the exclamations of the audience, the originally empty military exercise venue became crowded with salamanders, skeletal dragon snakes, dire tigers, blue dragons and even silver dragons.
Beings living or dead, good or evil, running or flying, all appeared in the venue, obeyed the same leader, and came to participate in the same war.
Over the past few years, all the armies and forces that the empire has accumulated in various areas have gathered here, and are about to participate in the battle against the demons.
Cassius stood on the high platform, overlooking the crowded venue.
He has been preparing for this battle for so long that even when he first entered this world, he was fighting to the death with the demon who tried to control his destiny.
The red dragon glanced at the various creatures, showed a ferocious smile, and murmured to himself in a voice that only he could hear:
"Jezalslak.
Are you ready for my revenge? "(End of Chapter)
