Beneath the Red Dragon

Even their tendrils have extended to the islands in the eastern seas of Westeros Continent - Dragonstone Island, where they have established an outpost.

Perhaps this is in preparation for the Fortress of Freedom to continue the conquest of Westeros Continent.

This is the overlord civilization of this world, the Valerian Fortress of Freedom, possessing thousands of Giant Dragons, no civilization dares to oppose them.

However, even such an overlord-level civilization cannot explore the far reaches of the Summer Sea, the Sosros Continent. Once, a Dragon Knight of the Fortress of Freedom — Jeninara Beleris and her Demon Dragon Tyrrex.

A man and a dragon hoped to find the legendary Sea of Boiling and River of Steam on the Sosros Continent, but only found endless jungles, deserts, and mountains.

Moreover, this continent is plagued with diseases and beasts, featuring various powerful Snake Monsters, crocodiles, and ape monsters, their bodies enormous, a single punch able to kill an elephant.

There are also supposedly blood-sucking vampire bats and tall tattooed lizards with claws on their legs, like some sort of dinosaur, and in the seas, sea beasts the size of islands appear.

The most frightening is a type of Two-legged Flying Dragon, similar to the Demon Dragon, they do not breathe fire, but compensate with more anger. Some kinds of Two-legged Flying Dragons hunt in groups of a hundred.

It is said that on this land, there are also Lizardmen, Cavemen, and the already discovered Striped People.

Dragon Knight Jeninara flew with her Demon Dragon for three years, unable to find the boundary of Sosros Continent, and could only return to the Fortress of Freedom, claiming that the Sosros Continent is as vast as the Essos Continent.

”So, this is the so-called ’Fortress of Freedom Valeria’?” Several scholars wearing robes gazed at this great city-state.

This is a magnificent city that even these scholars couldn’t help but admire, rich and splendid, not only having the impossibly wide Valerian Avenue and Dragon’s Road created with intricate sculpting techniques and Flame and Magic.

In this city, countless enormous topless towers are built for the dragons to climb and land, along with numerous buildings decorated with sphinx sculptures.

The city conveys unique tropical and frigid crops produced by various colonies.

From the north, Rolas’s sturgeon and whale oil, to the south, Lis’s fine wines, all offered for the Valerians to enjoy.

These Valerians, with silver-golden hair and violet eyes, each possesses a beautiful appearance and figure, as if they were Elves born in this world, with their own charm.

Moreover, the hair of these Valerians ranges from white to silver-gold to gold, and their eyes from light violet to deep violet and light blue, each with its own charm, astonishing even these well-versed scholars with the beauty of the Valerians.

However, the Valerian city has a complex ethnic composition and also a large number of races migrating from other conquered regions.

And there are dozens, hundreds of enormous Demon Dragons frequently taking off and landing over the scholars’ heads, controlled by strong Wizards and Dragon Kings with whips, Magic Horns, and Witchcraft.

”Truly, an exciting civilization,” one scholar sighed, ”makes me want to immediately apply, to have those powerful warriors capture a few Demon Dragons, so we can study them properly. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this eager.”

”These Demon Dragons, although the detected Magic Power content inside them is low, yet they have such a colossal size, even Ancient Dragons in the Icaria World can’t compare with the Demon Dragons spiraling in the sky, truly surprising me.”

Scholars, with the gaze of hunters, stared at their prey, watching the sky, where spinning, howling Giant Dragons up to two hundred meters long flew, their eyes filled with surprise, admiration, and desire.

”Let us not act rashly for now; we still need to be more cautious,” the young Caster beside him warned these scholars, supporting a Valerian dressed as a Priest.

This is a High Priest of Valeria, because Valerians worship many different deities, including Bellerion, Mirasis, and Varghar, and the mysterious sects worshipped by Novos the Bearded Monk.

Although these Casters, through spells, have confused this High Priest of Valeria, learning that the Dragon Kings who rule Valeria consider all faiths to be false, the rulers here have extreme contempt for divine staff and temples, regarding them as products of primitive worship.

But to appease the lower classes and slaves, allowing them to fantasize about a better life after death, Valeria encourages theism.

The Fortress of Freedom also promotes religious tolerance, keeping believers divided to prevent them from uniting under monotheism and resisting the rule of the Dragon Kings.

But these Casters and Scholars are not local natives; they have their own thoughts.

”Until we grasp the true power of this world, we still need to act cautiously,” the young Caster said, ”Lord Rosani is still waiting for our investigative results and reply; we must not lose sight of the big picture due to trivial matters.”

The numerous Scholar Mages nodded in agreement.

”However, even such a civilization where people pray for death every day due to slavery, claims that people born in their country, and owning land, have a voice in governance,”
