A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 761: Chapter 433: Royal City, Reactions of the Nations (Part 2)

This will undoubtedly deal a massive blow to the economies of all countries, especially those industries heavily dependent on specific Wilderness resources.

Moreover, a loose and chaotic Wilderness, constantly consuming itself internally, like scattered sand, poses no substantial threat to the Southern Countries.

But a centralized kingdom ruled by a powerful Legendary Red Iron Dragon is utterly different.

It might, with its unique allure, gather other non-human races and even attract some powerful humans who find no success or are forced into exile from human society, thereby weakening the talent pool and influence of the Southern Countries to some extent.

More terrifying is that the potential for cohesion and warfare of the Wilderness Kingdom itself is extremely high.

After establishing a kingdom, this aspect will grow exponentially, becoming a military power that cannot be underestimated.

Furthermore, in the inherent conceptions of most intelligent beings, the expansion ambition of a powerful Evil Dragon establishing a kingdom is almost innate.

Who can ensure that the King of Molten Iron’s gaze won’t turn towards the more affluent South?

The emergence of this kingdom means that along the Northern Border of all countries, an unprecedented potential adversary has suddenly appeared, requiring constant vigilance and more defensive resources.

For Galos, establishing a kingdom in the Wilderness represents brand new opportunities and challenges.

And for the Southern Countries, this is equally a major event requiring a re-evaluation of regional situations and adjustment of diplomatic strategies.

How to interact with the nation ruled by a Legendary Giant Dragon in the Northern Territory.

Whether to choose cooperation, containment, isolation, or engagement... This will undoubtedly become one of the most intense diplomatic topics within the courtrooms of various countries in the coming period.

Thus, more eyes, whether openly or secretly, are focused on this ancient and vast land, closely watching the emergence of this new kingdom.

An invisible storm is quietly brewing.

Amidst the changing external landscapes and surging undercurrents, atop the Dragon Ridge Mountain Range, the Red Iron Dragon stands silently like a majestic mountain.

He lowers his calm eyes to gaze upon the vast land called the ”Fertile Plain” spreading before the mountains.

There, an unprecedented giant city is rising from the ground almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, sketching out a grand and magnificent prototype.

That will be the core of his future kingdom, the Royal Capital of Ola Kingdom.

Even perched atop the towering mountain peak, the faint sounds of hustle and bustle echo below. It’s his countless Followers and subjects, fervently turning his will and blueprint into reality.

Numerous small yet resilient figures, like worker ants, busy themselves at the intersection of the plain and the mountains.

Strong Ogres shout crude yet rhythmic slogans, swinging gigantic stone hammers akin to beams of houses, pounding the foundations of the city’s main roads and important buildings, emitting thunderous dull sounds.

Clusters of Centaur Warriors, now transformed into the best beasts of burden, their Ironhoof stomping the ground like drumbeats, tow heavy carts loaded with massive granite blocks or logs, methodically transporting them to various needed areas of the city.

Agile War Lizardfolk craftsmen, holding complex blueprints, swiftly move between the already planned street grids, their sharp eyes scanning every detail, ensuring all constructions strictly adhere to the architectural blueprint, precisely and accurately.

......

In the outermost regions, surrounding the Royal Capital, the majestic city walls are being erected section by section.

Like the growing spine of a Dragon.

Led by Great Workshop Master Scott, the Alchemists are highly focused, manipulating various models of engineering Golems, tirelessly shaping the towering and sturdy walls, while a specialized team of Casters follows closely behind, carefully inscribing each completed wall section with magical runes endowed with protective, sturdy, and alert functions.

From the already emerged prototype, the entire giant city’s plan is clear and hierarchical.

From the outermost walls heading inward, the closer it gets to the direction of the Dragon Ridge Mountain Range, the larger and more refined the architecture, indicating that there will be even more prosperous and central areas in the future. ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Because, on the steep cliffs facing the plains from the Dragon Ridge Mountain Range, a completely different scene unfolds.

That’s the true Domain belonging to the Giant Dragons.

Numerous Followers skilled in climbing and construction are carving out and decorating palaces within the Dragon’s Nest for their king, his Dragon Group, and potential future visiting or joining Giant Dragons.

These are not simple natural caves but grand architectural complexes built into the mountainside.

Craftsmen skilled in climbing and stone carving, the War Lizardfolk on nearly vertical cliffs, erect layer upon layer of massive scaffolding, chiseling the rock faces with their chisels, gradually sketching out magnificent arches, wide enough open platforms that allow Giant Dragons to dance, and enormous corridors ensuring comfort for Dragon movement.

Some tamed magic creatures, capable of spewing acid or Fiery Flames, are responsible for grinding and polishing the inner walls of the rocks, making them smooth as mirrors, or for smelting specific metal ores and decorating them like gilded points on key structures, forming aesthetically pleasing and functional natural reinforcements and decorations.

Several Dragon’s Nest have initially taken shape, already revealing their outlines.

They are not monotonous but are designed with emphasis based on the species, preferences, and attributes of the intended inhabitants.

Some Dragon’s Nest are embedding gigantic heat-absorbing ores, with higher internal temperatures, prepared for Dragon Race that prefer high-temperature environments; others have carved intricate water channel systems to lead melted mountain snow or waterfalls into the Nest’s interior, forming clear internal pools suitable for water-loving or aquatic Dragon Race to inhabit; and some have deliberately cultivated luminous moss and beautiful Magic Plants on the expansive terraces, creating a serene and vibrant atmosphere.
