A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 768: Chapter 435: Celebrate the Birth of a King! (Extended Chapter)

......

The discipline demonstrated by these armies made the emissaries of various nations secretly startled, exchanging heavy glances with each other.

They knew well that although these were intelligent beings, many of their races were inherently untamable with wild and chaotic tendencies.

To be able to train them to such an extent of resolute obedience and silent solemnity.

This shows that the methods of governance by the Ignas Dragon Court have become quite mature.

By contrast, too many forces established by the Evil Dragon Lords, their followers are nothing more than a rabble gathered by relying on dragon power, with no discipline to speak of, unworthy of serious concern.

This organization, which crawled and fought its way up from the lowest depths of the wilderness, still has shortcomings in some backgrounds and aspects.

However, it is definitely not a force to be underestimated. ℯ𝔴ℯ

Anyone who dares to underestimate its existence will pay a painful price for it.

The road leading to the High Mountain Dragon Court seemed endlessly long.

The emissaries walked not only on a boulevard meant to display military might but also on a path to directly feel the ruling foundation and war potential of the Ola Kingdom.

The chilling and solemn atmosphere almost solidified into substance, pressing heavily on the heart of every emissary.

On the broad road, only the subtle sound of footsteps of the emissaries, the rumble of wheels rolling over stone slabs, and the roaring sound of countless flags flapping in the wilderness wind remained.

After a while, they traversed the long parade path and arrived at the foot of the Dragon Ridge Mountain Range.

At the end of the central avenue was a vast circular plaza paved with large stone slabs.

At the far side of the plaza, there were giant stone steps built into the mountain, leading up to the coronation platform halfway up the mountain.

The entire coronation platform was paved with dark metal and red rock, with large fire pits standing on the edges; black and red dragon banners flapped in the fierce wind, emblazoned with a roaring dragon head and crossed sword symbol.

Below, the Crystal Princess was guided to the area of the Southern Countries’ delegation, as the various emissaries gradually seated themselves according to their areas.

”It’s truly magnificent... This befits my brother’s stature!”

Iron Dragon Gordon let out a satisfied low growl, a proud light flickering in his great dragon eyes.

When he thought of the founding of the Ola Kingdom, and his share of the glory therein, he felt an immense pride and satisfaction, involuntarily straightening his broad chest and raising his dragon head high.

Just then, a sound came from not far away, attracting the attention of many.

A delegation with attire distinctly different from that of Lotheren, bearing armor clearly inscribed with the emblem of sword and shield, led by a steady-gaited middle-aged noble, marched confidently into the viewing area.

Their guards had eyes as sharp as eagles, their steps neatly aligned, emanating a unique iron-blooded aura of those well-seasoned in battle.

”Ripos Kingdom?”

The Crystal Princess’s delicate brow furrowed slightly.

Had Ripos Kingdom also sent emissaries?

This was somewhat beyond her expectations.

What drew her attention even more was the presence of some smaller kingdoms and duchies, clearly inclined towards Ripos diplomatically, also appearing in the group.

Among them, including the Theo Kingdom, which borders the wilderness and recently had conflicts with the Molten Iron Tribe, and even the Raymond Duchy, which had unpleasant encounters with the Molten Iron Tribe in past years!

The emissary from Theo Kingdom was Marquis Marcus, the most familiar with the Northern Wilderness.

He maintained a blank expression as if wearing a mask, revealing no true thoughts of his own.

His eyes occasionally swept around, seemingly searching for something in the crowd, or perhaps silently assessing the authenticity of this royal city and the ceremony.

At this time, the Ripos delegation passed through the aisle in front of the Lotheren delegation.

The leading middle-aged noble stopped and turned toward the Crystal Princess, piling a surprised smile on his face, nodding slightly in greeting.

”I didn’t expect to see the honorable Princess Alina gracing us with her presence here.”

His voice was neither loud nor quiet, just enough for many around to hear clearly: ”It seems Lotheren holds this coronation of Emperor Ignatius in extraordinary regard, showing full sincerity.”

Alina slowly turned her head, her gaze calmly landing on Marquis Butler.

A flawless, calm smile appeared on her face as she responded: ”Marquis Butler, hasn’t Ripos Kingdom also sent a high-ranking emissary like you?”

”This shows that we Southern Countries regard the new order that will be established in the Northern Territory with equal importance.”

This Marquis Butler was a noble of real power within the Ripos Kingdom, with a high status; his very presence was a strong signal.

Marquis Butler’s eyes flickered for a moment, not expecting such composure from a princess often seen in the deep palace.

He responded with the same formulaic smile, saying: ”Indeed, indeed.”

”Witnessing the birth of a new kingdom, how could our Ripos Kingdom miss such an occasion?”

At this moment, standing slightly behind Marquis Butler, Marquis Marcus also chuckled and joined in, saying: ”Speaking of which, our Theo Kingdom had some small conflicts and misunderstandings with this King of Molten Iron before.”

”It seems Lotheren Kingdom and the Dragon Court have quite a close relationship.”

”I wonder if Princess Alina would be willing to lend a hand in mediation and help turn hostility into friendship?”

Alina glanced lightly at Marcus, not taking up his conversation.
