A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 699: Chapter 417: Magic Equations, Ascending to the Planetary Stage

By now, the Molten Iron Tribe has essentially completed the unification of the Sel Wilderness.

The dragon banner symbolizing the King of Molten Iron is now fluttering in the wind in every corner of this vast land.

During this period, the tribe held multiple rounds of negotiations with the envoy group sent by the Theo Kingdom.

After the other party paid a huge price painful enough for them to bear, the Molten Iron Tribe agreed to release the Theo soldiers captured during the war. The envoys from the Theo Kingdom formally expressed their willingness to coexist peacefully with the Molten Iron Tribe, turning swords into ploughshares, and solemnly promised never to proactively offend the interests of the Molten Iron Tribe again.

As for whether this promise is genuine, who can tell?

Matters of alliance with the Lotheren Kingdom also underwent more specific and in-depth consultations, with both parties reaching consensus on many key terms.

As soon as the Molten Iron Tribe is ready to formally establish a nation, Lotheren will immediately send congratulations, expressing their full recognition.

Subsequently, both parties will initiate comprehensive trade exchanges, including resources and technology, to achieve true mutual benefit and win-win.

Just like that, the three years have passed in a flash with subtle grace.

As the time came to New Calendar year 321, the development of the Molten Iron Tribe has entered a stable and orderly phase.

At this time, all the regions of the Sel Wilderness are already dotted with bases, outposts, and resource points established by the Molten Iron Tribe, serving as solid anchors connected by roads and communications, weaving a network across the vast wilderness to solidify the tribe’s rule.

Numerous intelligent beings living in the Southern Countries are now almost all aware:

A powerful Giant Dragon known as the King of Molten Iron rose strongly during the chaotic civil war period of the countries, now fully controlling the entire Sel Wilderness, and is the undisputed uncrowned king of that vast land.

More than that.

Titles such as ”King of the Borderland,” ”Red Flame Omen Star,” and ”Sky-Splitting Wings,” derived from Galos’ achievements and characteristics, have also gradually become well-known through merchants and minstrels.

Meanwhile, inside Dragon Valley.

The towering and majestic Red Iron Dragon rolled with heat waves, crouching on the ground, just finished an intense body training.

Even while closing his eyes to recuperate, his mind did not truly rest, constantly browsing and comprehending knowledge from the Dragon’s Legacy, not allowing himself the slightest slack.

His journey, besides talent, relied entirely on sweat.

”In?”

At this moment, a message came from Solrog.

”In.”

Galos responded simply.

”The tribe’s development is flourishing, the number of followers is increasing day by day, and the overall quality has significantly improved due to Dragon Forged Transformation and survival of the fittest. The Sel Wilderness is now completely under our rule.”

Iron Dragon Solrog’s voice carried a hint of pride, then asked: ”When do you plan to formally claim the throne?”

”When will we formally establish a nation?”

After these three years of stable development, Solrog believes the time has matured; it’s time to formally establish a nation, elevating the Molten Iron Tribe to a higher level.

Galos chuckled.

He teasingly countered: ”What, can’t you hold back your surging ambition any longer?”

Solrog candidly admitted: ”Indeed, there’s a bit of that, but more importantly, I believe now is the right time.”

”The tribe now possesses rich land and abundant resources, but still faces significant shortcomings in mining, refining, and precision processing technologies, making it difficult to fully leverage these advantages.”

”Our development speed has gradually slowed down, entering a certain bottleneck period.”

”Once we formally establish a nation, we can engage in formal diplomacy and trade with other human or humanoid kingdoms as equals. Moreover, with technical support from the Lotheren Kingdom, only then can we begin the next stage of higher quality development.”

What he said makes sense.

In fact, Galos also internally believes the time for nation-building has arrived.

However, before that, he has one important matter to complete.

”A few days ago, the grand competition hosted jointly by the five Metal Dragon Domains officially started.”

The Red Iron Dragon said: ”Once they are selected through layers of elimination, the sole challenger will emerge.”

”At that time, I will go with Nasha to the Dragon Domain, await their challenge, defeating them head-on, and then seize the opportunity to step into the Legendary Domain through the ’Age-old Tides’.”

”Then, we will formally establish a nation.”

Establishing a nation before reaching a legendary status somewhat lacks confidence and prestige.

”Why not simply have the Metal Dragon challenger come to the wilderness or the border area?”

Solrog, excited, offered his suggestion: ”Over these years, the tribe absorbed many new follower clans unfamiliar with you; this gives the chance for them to witness your formidable stature firsthand.”

”This can unify hearts and accumulate more prestige for the upcoming nation-building, greatly beneficial.”

Galos slightly shook his head.

”I do not need to rely on such means to accumulate hollow fame.”

”Moreover, the Legend Domain of the Age-old Tides exists within the Fubo Dragon Domain, and one way or another, I need to go there personally sooner or later.”

”Once I achieve legendary status and return to the wilderness, I will personally announce the birth of the new nation.”

The voice paused, and his gaze seemed to penetrate the thick wind and snow, looking toward the distant future: ”That will also mean we will officially ascend the main stage of this planet with the stature of a kingdom.”
