Beneath the Red Dragon

Chapter 845: Chapter 146: Kings’ Assembly: Pan-Northern Territory Destiny Community

“The world often says that the Giant Dragons are the most arrogant and conceited creatures in the Icaria World, even the most arrogant among all living beings in the cosmos, which is why those Colorful Dragons tend to die prematurely before fully growing,”

A military grand-nobleman, a descendant of the Ancient Beastman bloodline, laughed loudly: “The Dragon Group of the Golden Empire didn’t perish midway like those foolish Colorful Dragons, so it seems they possess a sufficiently cautious temperament,”

“Are those Northern Continent human nobles really worthy of the Golden Empire making a grand invitation for a summit of the Kings?”

“Hahaha, if it weren’t for the Beastman Kingdom’s inability to contend with all the Human Kingdoms alone, unable to easily set foot on the Main Continent, otherwise those Beastmen could easily sweep away those hypocritical and cowardly nobles for the Emperor of the Golden Empire.”

The words of this Beastman grand-noble were not praising the Dragon Group of the Golden Empire, but secretly belittling the timid nature of these Giant Dragons.

The Golden Empire’s diplomat Luo Ya, who once said, ‘The people of a superior country do not bow to the king of an inferior country,’ gave a cold glance, stepped forward, and without change in expression, harshly reprimanded: “The meeting of Kings, how can it allow you to bark recklessly on the side? Truly lacking in civilization etiquette and manners, ignorant and uneducated barbarian.”

“Even an ordinary dog raised by a citizen within the empire knows not to bark when its master speaks with others, lest it be directly beaten to death and cooked to entertain guests!”

“You?” The Beastman grand-noble was so infuriated by Luo Ya’s words that his tan face turned red, huffing and puffing, yet no Beastmen around echoed his words.

The impression Beastmen give to other races includes recklessness, rage, and impulsiveness, but rarely foolishness.

Beastmen are not only not foolish but rather intelligent; otherwise, they wouldn’t have once established the world-dominating Overlord Empire.

The reason Beastmen sometimes appear reckless and impulsive is that those intelligent Beastmen are eager to implement their ideas.

And if some Beastmen appear foolish, perhaps they truly are foolish.

Even the high and mighty Beastman Monarch Bossel Lane watched coldly.

This Monarch of the Beastman Kingdom had a rough-hewn face and short, upturned tusks like those of an Ancient Beastman, as well as a white mane resembling that of a majestic lion on the prairie, looking like a living lion seated on a throne.

Bossel Lane looked like a lion, and his actions were also like a lion on the prairie always biding its time.

Those hunters who often hunt on the prairie know that in a strong lion pride, there will always be the strongest and smartest Lion King.

This Lion King usually appears lazy, looking lethargic; even during hunts, it waits for the lionesses to catch prey, then slowly takes over their spoils to enjoy the most sumptuous meals.

But only when facing the Lion King’s enemies do they realize how terrifying its claws and strength are.

Bossel, in the Icaria World’s common language, has an inclusive meaning, also referring to knowledge and culture, symbolizing power and nobility.

And Lane is the clan name of this Beastman King.

The clan name is not like the caste system of a bizarre nation but originates from the beliefs and origins of Beastmen after the empire era.

When the Beastman-ruled world empire collapsed, the gods of the Beastman divine pantheon retreated in wars against other gods, ultimately distancing from the Icaria World.

After the surviving bloodline descendants of the Beastman Empire retreated to the remote islands in the Northern Sea, some Ancient Beastmen chose to abandon their faith in Beastman gods, embracing the then-revealed Natural Spirits and Wilderness Demigods of the world.

These Natural Spirits and Wilderness Demigods that once thrived in the Icaria World, some were innately high-tier beings like Natural Spirits.

Some could also grow postnatally to demigod status, like Wilderness demigod beings.

The ancestors of the Wolfman Clans and the Vampire Species in the Icaria World were both naturally born demigod beings.

The Ancient Beastmen of the Beastman Kingdom received blessings from the Wilderness Demigods or combined with postnatal ascended Wilderness demigod races, thus giving birth to many different Beastman bloodlines.

The Beastman Warriors most favored by merchants in the Beastman Kingdom inherited ancient bloodlines as alien species Beastmen.

And the bloodline of the Beastman King Bossel Lane’s ancestors came from a wild lion-like demigod.

In the Beastman Kingdom, there exist factions of Ancient Beastmen who believe in Beastman gods and factions who believe in Natural Spirits and Wilderness Demigods.

From the perspective of Beastman King Bossel Lane, it’s not hard to see that in the Beastman Kingdom, the faction believing in Natural Spirits and the God of the Wilderness now holds the upper hand.

Bossel Lane watched as the Golden Empire’s diplomat Luo Ya, after reprimanding the Beastman nobility, retreated knowingly behind the proudly squatting Dragon King of the Golden Empire—Kleyna, lowering his brows and bowing his head.

And Kleyna, this hot-tempered Female Red Dragon, though bad-tempered, doesn’t mean she’s foolish.

The Female Red Dragon Kleyna still maintained her true Giant Dragon form in the palace of the Beastman Kingdom, exuding a powerful oppressive force identical to her stance.

Because dealing with Beastmen requires extra assertiveness.

However, that long tail circled like a big cat around her forepaws, curling her entire lower body into a circle, looking somewhat docile.
