Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 608 Investigation Plan
Atop a towering mountain where the wind howls, a majestic royal court stretches out, rising above the clouds.

The thick cloud walls form the long wall of this dragon royal court, while the cloud stumps of varying heights serve as the fortresses and towers of this royal court.

Occasionally, playful fledglings and young dragons would appear among the clouds, flapping their still-developing flesh-colored wings and chirping, attracting the scrutinizing gazes of warriors clad in silver armor.

That was the Dragon King Guard that Chris, the Silver Dragon Ruler of the Golden Empire, was assembling.

However, these silver dragon paladins, loyal to their master and responsible for serving and guarding Chris Tiana, did not see any dissatisfaction from the other dragons of the empire.

Chris Tiana, once hailed as the Silver Dragon Valkyrie, led the Silver Dragon Paladin Order in the south. Now, these warriors of the Silver Dragon Paladin Order have once again been selected by this Dragon Queen to join her ranks.

Most of the knights in these Silver Dragon Paladins are dragon descendants with silver dragon blood; only a very small number are warriors of the silver dragon race.

However, even these paladins who were born into the silver dragon race were only just beginning to realize that this dragon empire was very different from the ordinary dragon clan alliances.

The dragon's royal court is a solemn and sacred place for these great dragons, but for the young dragons of the Gorgmora, it is merely one of the places that holds the most beautiful moments of their childhood.

Aside from the forbidden core of the royal garden and the portals leading to the second floor and above, these young children are rarely scolded or driven away by the storm giants hidden in every corner of the royal court.

Even the Dragon Emperor's throne and the crowns of kings, which are considered taboo and untouchable by many races and nations in the outside world, can be experienced by these dragon cubs.

These signs indicate that this dragon kingdom has begun to no longer need to use certain authoritarian rituals to ensure the dignity of its high-ranking rulers.

Some silver dragon paladins even felt that the second-generation and even newborn dragon offspring in the Golden Empire would be inspired to grow and have more ambition as a result.

However, their experiences as fledglings will make these dragons more aware of the weight of the thrones of kings as they grow up.

Gallo Ramsey’s gaze occasionally swept over the dragon hatchlings, and some thoughts in his mind became clearer.

"I do know several profoundly wise magicians who have conducted extremely in-depth research on the topic of stealing the power of the gods. Even the power of evil gods might not be an insurmountable problem in the eyes of those magicians,"

"After all, everyone has their own expertise. What we can't do, what we can't overlook, is crystal clear to them."

The ancient dragon elder suddenly smiled and said, "What those short-lived species envy most about dragons is this accumulation of long years."

"While my acquaintances and old friends may not dare to go to war with the Empire for my sake, my reputation as Gallo Ramsey is still quite useful if I just need their help!"

“That’s wonderful,” said Silver Dragon Chris, a hint of joy on her face. She nodded slightly and said, “A friend trusted by Lord Ramsey will surely earn the respect of the Empire!”

Even the old and frail Golden Dragon felt a slight joy in his heart.

The feeling of being rejected by the overall living environment and isolated by an entire tribe is not a huge shock to a dragon.

For Jinlong today, being forgotten is the most terrifying thing.

Because during this time, Gallo Ramsey was already able to foresee the scene where the metal dragons of the south would be completely melted away by an even more powerful group.

He didn't want to see a future where a metal dragon hatchling born in the Golden Empire would ask his ancestors who that weak and isolated ancient golden dragon was.

Stepping onto the Dragon King's court was a choice Gallo Ramsey made under the influence of many factors.

This civilization is the melting pot where the Dragon Emperor persuaded all dragon races; it is the system, the framework, the atmosphere, the environment, and also the environment of an era!
As long as one is on the path of this dragon kingdom, one cannot help but be affected by it.

"Excuse my bluntness, Chris,"

The ancient golden dragon hesitated for a moment, then spoke again after considering its words carefully: "Primordial dragons are extremely rare. In our world of Ekania, the metal dragon race occupies a fairly advantageous ecological niche, but even so, only a handful of them have been able to withstand the test of time and advance to become Primordial Dragons."

"As for the five-colored dragon race, there has not been a powerful being like the Primordial Dragon for at least several thousand years."

"If the leader of the Heleka family, the blue dragons of Central Earth, hadn't taken the initiative to befriend the Farn Empire, the most outstanding adult dragons of each generation would have become the guardian dragons of the Farn Empire,"

"Using this as a bargaining chip to obtain humanitarian and political aid from the Farn Empire, even that ancient dragon of the Heleka family would probably act like the Crimson Mistress, Dixris, who dwells in the barren volcanic zone of the southern continent—that mature red dragon who likes to collect the discarded dragon eggs left behind by other dragons, raise them into cubs, and then resell them to other races,"

"They were hunted down by other humanoid races who found a suitable opportunity."

The death of Crimson Mistress Dickleth was initially caused by the fact that this female red dragon in her prime stole the dragon eggs of the silver dragon clan, which incurred the silver dragons' revenge.

But many of the dragons in the southern dragon pack who personally experienced this event know that the human races played a less than honorable role in it.

Even a powerful alliance like the Southern Good Dragon Alliance must know its place in the world of Ekania.

The reason these metal dragons were able to grow so powerful was that they were a tool that those humanoid civilizations could readily use.

While metal dragons are hostile to the five-colored dragons and are willing to eliminate some of the more dangerous ones, they would not kill a strong, healthy red dragon for no reason.

Perhaps this indirect method of hunting the five-colored dragons is simply because those humanoid races are wary of the dragon god behind them.

Although the immortal dragon god Tiamat does not cast her gaze upon every single one of the five-colored dragons, she has not manifested in the world of Ekania even once in hundreds of years.

But a god is still a god.

For the ancient golden dragon Gallo Ramsey, it was not difficult to see the sequence of events that had occurred in the past.

But times have changed. The Golden Empire has now become the dominant power in the Northern Continent, making it a cornerstone of the Aikania world.

The Dragon Emperor Kalon Gogmora is hailed by the outside world as the being who holds the destiny in the world of Ekania.

Therefore, many actions and ideas that were once inappropriate are no longer considered dangerous or restrictive.

Silver Dragon Chris seemed to have thought of something, her gaze becoming somewhat hazy, and she sighed softly, "You mean...?"

Gallo Ramsey said decisively, “I know. Illum Fuller recently told me that the Golden Empire plans to relocate the Tomb of Rest, which once housed the remains of all the dragons in the Southern Good Dragon Alliance, to the Empire’s mainland and incorporate it into the Empire’s Dragon Tomb Country.”

"This will make the Southern Dragonflight more accepting of the Goggmora Dragonflight, and allow the vanished dragons of the Southern Dragonflight to also enjoy the veneration of the Empire's descendants," "This is an excellent thing, and I wholeheartedly agree with the Empire's approach,"

The dark scales on the old golden dragon's face twitched slightly, a heartfelt joy at the Golden Empire's reverence for its ancestors and its orderly inheritance.

All of these factors contributed to the gradual transformation of the ancient golden dragon.

"But now that the Empire's grand plan is about to be implemented, it needs more and stronger forces to reduce the Empire's losses and to protect the Empire's legions and manpower,"

Gallo Ramsey's tone turned serious as he looked solemnly at each of the female dragons present.

These female dragons are the core of this empire and an important part of the Gorgmora dragonflight.

To put it bluntly, as long as the female dragons present reach a consensus, their influence on the imperial political stage is enough to ensure that most things are accomplished smoothly.

In particular, the red dragon Klenaya was not only the mate of the Dragon Emperor, but also one of the original members of the Gogmora dragon pack.

Although later dragon kings such as the Golden Dragon Obirash and the Silver Dragon Chris Tiana possessed the same status as Kleinaya in terms of both nominal power and political influence.

However, within the entire Gorgmora dragon horde, the status of the original dragon kings remained subtly above that of all the dragons, even the white dragon Kamid, whose political influence was not particularly prominent.

No dragon would doubt this.

Silver Dragon Chris's eyes flickered, Red Dragon Kleinaya's eyes were indifferent, Green Dragon Ellie's eyes were somewhat curious, and Phyllis Tiamat was looking at the ancient golden dragon in front of her for the first time.

"The remains of the dragon race's ancestors are not sacred taboos, as long as we do not desecrate their remains,"

Gallo Ramsey looked sincerely back at the silver dragon and said solemnly, "Rather than let the dragon's bones remain in the grave until they decay with time, let the dragon's bones also become the molten fire for this dragon kingdom to climb."

The demigoddess dragon Phyllis reacted indifferently, after all, she had seen such things many times before in the hellish divine realm.

The remains of many powerful dragons that died were also forged by the legions of the immortal dragon gods into various powerful weapons and armor.

The respect shown to corpses by many dragons in the mortal realm is rare in hell.

The other dragons reacted differently. Although the red dragon Klenaya didn't care, it was a custom that the Gogmora dragon herd had formed since childhood, so the female dragon didn't think much of it.

Ellie, the green dragon, didn't care. This female dragon, who was born a wild dragon, knew that many dragons who wandered the wilderness died with their remains no different from those of wild dogs that died in the wilderness.

Only the silver dragon Chris shook her head slightly, politely declining, "The Emperor once promised to give those who worship him a place of peace in life and a place of rest in death."

"Even the heroic spirits within the Dragon Temple volunteered for battle themselves, not by order of the emperor,"

“This goes against the emperor’s original intention, and we cannot change it without his permission.”

Gallo Ramsey was not disappointed, but said in a deep voice, "I am willing to bear the blame for initiating this, as long as you allow me to make such a suggestion in the Council of Kings!"

"And I promise that after my death, my remains will protect the Golden Empire and fight for the frontline warriors until my body perishes!"

Chris suddenly raised her head and looked up at the sky. A blizzard was blowing, with fine snowflakes mixed in with the gale blowing through Highgarden.

That was a sign of the impending arrival of the Empire's white dragon race.

So the silver dragon said softly, "Once such a thing is brought up, it will be difficult to define future exploitation. However, if you insist on doing so, I will invite you to speak at the next meeting of the Council of Kings!"

Having received the answer he wanted, the ancient golden dragon took its leave of the female dragons.

As Gallo Ramsay's figure slowly disappeared below the steps of the royal court, the Imperial White Dragon King, Garmott, descended before several female dragons amidst a fierce blizzard.

"What exactly is he after? Is he trying to gain political influence in the Empire?" Green Dragon Ellie greeted Gormott before asking, puzzled.

"In any case, this is a good start,"

Kleinaya said, "This perhaps proves that the atmosphere of an era can indeed fundamentally alter the dragons' stance and thoughts."

"The overwhelming current will carry all living beings forward involuntarily; those who do not comply will be eliminated."

"He lost the power he was so proud of, so his inner fanaticism weakened and he became more easily influenced."

"According to the research of the Empire's scholars, this change will actually take a long time, but in the future, we will be able to change other dragons more easily by following the example of Gallo Ramsey."

White Dragon Grimhot waited quietly for the female dragons to finish their discussion, his gaze occasionally sweeping over the figure of the demigod female dragon Phyllis.

Grimhot remained wary of the female dragon, but he did not show it.

It wasn't until several female dragons looked at the composed white dragon that Gemott slowly spoke.

The male dragons' voices were deeper and more resonant than those of the female dragons, like the deep murmur of the frost and snow winds over the Frosty Plains.

"I have already screened all the high-ranking officers and key personnel in the Imperial military-industrial complex,"

The white dragon, Grimhot, looked at the silver dragon, whose horns, which resembled millennia-old ice, were adorned with long dragon feathers that looked like long beards.

"At present, no signs of corruption or influence from evil gods have been found in the core of the Imperial military industry. Therefore, I have ordered that this industry be screened and investigated from top to bottom. It is expected that it will take at least three months to complete the initial screening plan."

Silver Dragon nodded, letting out a sigh of relief.

"This situation isn't too bad. It seems those evil gods don't have much energy left to wreak havoc on the empire. Midir and Akiz are also investigating other parts of the empire,"

"We can only confirm the safety of the empire once the results are in!"
