Under the Red Dragon.

A new day has begun, but it seems that all the people of the Golden Empire are encountering the same troubles on this new day.

"Bah..."

"Bah!"

A few psionic fluctuations came from the private receiver in front of Sakaro, which made the old man furious. He stretched out his withered fist and slammed it hard on the back of the receiver.

"I fucking knew that stuff bought from the secondhand market wouldn't last long,"

"We'll have to report this to the local market supervision department another day. Even though the goods sold in the secondhand market are cheap enough, they can't keep having problems,"

Sakaro muttered to himself, but managed to suppress his anger and continued fiddling with the radio receiver that looked like a blooming trumpet flower.

Getting out of bed every morning to listen to the imperial city's broadcasts has become a habit for the people of the empire.

As a product of the instant communication system built by the Golden Empire to cover the entire territory, the radio receiver is now an essential item in every household in the empire.

These small items don't contain much magical technology. Their most important components are just the antenna that connects to the Imperial Domain's communication module and the high-energy battery that powers the small machine.

So Sakaro wasn't worried that his violent methods would damage his receiver, which looked like a metal flower and was very sturdy.

Fortunately, Sakaro was no ordinary person, but a highly educated individual who had served as a red-robed monk for twenty years.

In another world, he was even the first pope of the Red Dragon Church, overseeing at least hundreds of thousands of people.

If that church hadn't been denied recognition by a certain great red dragon, Sakaro wouldn't have had the opportunity in his old age to ascend from his own world to the homeland of the Golden Empire and live out his remaining years.

Although Sakaro has gained a lifespan far exceeding that of ordinary people thanks to the Dragon Blood Elixir, a long lifespan does not mean he will not age.

During his decades as pope, Sakkaro had no particular desire for wealth or beauty; the only things he truly longed for were long life and youth.

He now possesses a long lifespan, though at the cost of losing his papal power.

But with his youth still intact, Sacaro felt he still had a chance.

"The recent reform of the Empire's military ranks, which has redefined them into four grades and twelve levels, along with the Central Military Council's newly introduced merit-based promotion system, all indicate that stepping out of the world of Ekania is just around the corner,"

"This is an unprecedented era. Although my strength is small, my special identity will surely play a role, as long as I am not afraid of danger."

As he pondered, Sakaro fiddled with the machine in front of him. The power that the Red Dragon had once bestowed upon him flowed through the patterns inside the machine as he investigated which part was malfunctioning.

But it wasn't that the radio receiver was malfunctioning; rather, it was due to some kind of powerful interference.

No matter which channel Sakkaro tuned to—economics, politics, military, culture, entertainment, anecdotes—all he ever heard was a crackling sound.

"Sizzle, sizzle,"

A powerful psychic electrical crackling sound rang out again, and Sakaro even felt he could hear the angry curses of the bald man next door, along with the same electrical crackling.

But this time, after a brief static noise from the radio, normal sound returned.

"This is a broadcast from the Golden Empire's Civilization Observation Council, addressed to all citizens within and outside the Empire!"

"This is the broadcast from the Golden Empire's Civilization Observation Council, addressed to all citizens within and outside the Empire!" The same words were repeated several times before pausing briefly.

But this strange pause had already begun to tighten Sacaro's heart.

Because there has never been a moment like this before, when all the radio channels were occupied just for one announcement.

Sakaro could even imagine that every city and every family in the empire was now in a state of anxious waiting.

Even the city's central square broadcast system fell into an eerie silence at this moment.

Sakaro only slowly exhaled when the sound came through the radio again, but his heart tightened again.

"Having undergone nearly a century of development and nearly a century of reflection,"

"We overcame all difficulties, swept away the corrupt nobles of the Northern Lands, established this powerful empire with unified culture and economy, and began to try to lead the entire world of Aikania forward!"

Sakaro's chest began to pound powerfully. He seemed to have a premonition of what he was about to hear, words that would rise like flames throughout the Golden Empire.

Because from the houses around him, excited shouts could be heard coming from all directions.

"Whether it is the main body of the empire, or every race, every member, and every citizen that exists in part within the empire,"

"We should all know that we are destined to bear unprecedented responsibilities!"

"We should all know that the mission we bear is far more noble than the fate of this sea of ​​stars!"

The increasingly impassioned voices made Sakaro's scalp tingle, especially as the massive group broadcasts began to echo throughout the city, resonating with the frequencies in every household.

“Over the past few years, this understanding and concept has become increasingly clear and strong,”

"So much so that we all must have an extremely clear and distinct understanding—a grand and long-term transformation of order and civilization is imminent!"

"The world of Aikania is our cradle, our homeland, our base, but the Empire will not remain in its cradle forever!"

Within the Dragon Academy, the elderly golden dragon Bayhart suddenly raised his head and looked towards the direction of the Dragon Royal Court, his long golden beard trembling uncontrollably.

Even the dragon god could not hide his shock at this moment.

"Soon, the Empire's warships and legions will emerge from their cradles, and at that time, the entire universe will know what true civilization and order are!"

Professor Chris, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, sat quietly in her room listening to the day's broadcast, her slender fingers tapping heavily on the table.

boom!
With a loud bang, the entire wooden table suddenly shattered from the woman's uncontrollable force, sending powder flying everywhere.

Because the sound coming from the radio had reached its peak.

"I wonder if this sea of ​​stars is ready to welcome the empire's rule and order!"

"But the Empire is ready!"

"All great undertakings require sacrifice. Other beings and civilizations in this cosmos may not understand, but they will surely obey!" (End of Chapter)
