A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 800: Chapter 442: The Self-Proclaimed Giant King Unifies the Northern Territory (Part 3)

The Frost Giants inherently looked down upon, even despised, the trade caravans made up of those small creatures, considering them weak ants.

Therefore, they paid no heed to the disappearance of the caravans.

For a long time, their focus had been solely on the Icefields, on the Barbarians, neglecting the winds and changes of the outside world.

Yet long ago, Voluk had heard a piece of news.

In the distant south, the once unified and immensely powerful Lothern Federation erupted into a brutal civil war, dividing the countries into two factions that fought incessantly, leaving them unable to attend to the wilderness areas, as all the Legendary Powerhouses stationed there were called to the civil war front.

Under such circumstances, Voluk saw this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He could seize the chance amidst the chaos in the Southern Countries, to march south to the wilderness, plundering the rich resources, capturing the people, perhaps even establishing a powerful kingdom for the Frost Giants on that fertile land!

Though the Icefield was his birthplace, after eliminating the Barbarians, the mortal enemy, there were no longer any adversaries or challenges worthy of his attention on this land.

Voluk’s ambition and focus were no longer satisfied with this barren land.

”My King, do you mean... we should prepare to advance into the wilderness next?”

Amidst excitement, the trusted leader beside him remained cautious.

He reminded quietly, ”However... the news about the Lothern Federation’s civil war is decades old.”

”Decades might not be much in our long lives, but to those short-lived creatures... it’s not a short period.”

”Their civil war might have ended, and they might even have restored order.”

The Legendary Frost Giant nodded slowly, not disregarding his subordinate’s reminder.

”Your concern is not without merit, hence, I never considered blindly making a massive march southward.”

After a pause, he said solemnly, ”Spread my command, in the name of the Eternal Frost Monarch, commence immediately; all tribes and clans of the Icefield must submit at once!”

”Those who follow shall prosper, those who oppose shall perish!”

”Once we unify the entire Eternal Frost Tundra and consolidate all forces, we shall then march south, stationing at the Border Area, observing and testing the winds and realities of the wilderness, seeking the best opportunity.”

The leader lowered his head further.

With a complimentary tone, he said, ”Great Eternal Frost King, your wisdom is unparalleled!”

”Under your power and wisdom, the Eternal Frost Tundra shall achieve unprecedented unification, all tribes will bow before your throne, and by then, our army marching south to the wilderness shall be invincible, with none able to resist!”

Hearing these words, Voluk displayed a satisfied expression and let out a deep laugh.

In the following days, he fulfilled his promise.

Voluk personally led his highly spirited Frost Giant Warriors, carrying the terrifying momentum of freshly decimated Barbarians, and began sweeping across the entire Eternal Frost Tundra.

The name of the Eternal Frost Monarch, alongside the shadow of frost and death, like a biting cold wind, swept through every ice peak, snowfield, and gorge at an unprecedented speed.

Most of the originally independent or observing Northern Territory tribes and clans chose to submit.

A few stubborn resistors were directly erased from the tundra’s map by the Legendary Frost Giant.

The power of the Legendary Realm, when faced with resistance at most the Lord Level, created a crushing downforce like a dimensional collapse.

The process of the Frost Giants unifying the Icefield proceeded like a whirlwind.

During this period, such enormous turmoil in the Icefield naturally couldn’t remain hidden.

The related news and whispers quickly reached the Dragon Fang Fortress, located in the southern part of the Eternal Frost Tundra, guarding the throat leading to the wilderness.

Here, strategically important and closely monitored by Blue Dragon Heryam and Red Dragon Kahill, it also served as the Ola Kingdom’s frontline for observing Northern Territory activities.

Thus...

Detailed intelligence about this newly risen northern threat was swiftly delivered with the highest priority back to the Ola Kingdom, presented at the High Mountain Dragon Court atop the Red Flame Royal City, overlooking the entire kingdom.

Ultimately, without any surprise.

The name of the Eternal Frost Monarch reached the ears of the highest ruler here.

”A self-proclaimed king, seeking to unify the Icefield, a Legendary Frost Giant?”

Galos displayed a contemplative look.

The hatred between Giants and Dragons, left from the distant Second Age, was deeply imprinted in their bloodlines and inherited memories.

This aggressive and expansionist neighbor entrenched in the Icefield was tantamount to a sword hanging over the Ola Kingdom’s head.

To let it go unchecked, would be akin to nurturing a viper.

Especially with the Theo Kingdom eyeing with eagerness, waiting for the opponent to consolidate, and actively invade southward, the Ola Kingdom might face a predicament of being besieged on two fronts.

Moreover, the Frost Giants’ disturbances in the Icefield were significant, and the Dragon Fang Fortress constantly monitored their movements.

Galos had essentially discerned their realities.

Additionally, self-proclaiming as king..... seemed somewhat amusing in the eyes of the Red Iron Dragon Emperor.

From beginning to end, Galos’ titles such as the Lord of the Borderland, King of Molten Iron, King of the Wilderness, Red Flame Omen Star, Sky-Splitting Wings, Emperor Ignatius... etc., weren’t spread by himself, but gradually formed by external transmission based on his past.

After some contemplation, the Red Iron Dragon made a decision.

To crush this so-called Eternal Frost Monarch on the eve of unifying the Icefield, shattering his kingly dreams, and in the meantime, incorporate the Eternal Frost Tundra into the Ola Kingdom’s map, completely consolidating the Northern Territory, and resolving threats from the north.
