Chapter 212 : The situation in the plane
“I pledge my loyalty to you, my Lord.”
A fire Gnoll about 2.4 meters tall knelt on one knee and panted heavily. His cruel little eyes contained an extremely excited light as he looked up at the huge Silver Dragon on the peak of the volcano.
Garen nodded slightly, and his dragon claws grabbed the hot rocks of the volcano.
The Platinum Dragon eyes looked down.
Hundreds of fire gnolls gathered together and knelt on the ground like their leader.
Gnolls also existed on the Noah continent.
These fire gnolls were a variant, and their appearance and habits were similar to the gnolls on the Noah continent.
These guys had red, needle-like fur from their necks to their tails. Their long, narrow eyes revealed vicious and cruel emotions. Their bodies were obviously hunched, as if it was difficult for them to straighten their backs. Their protruding mouths had crisscrossing sharp teeth, and they were drooling unconsciously. The sharp claws on their palms were cold.
Gnolls were a very common type of Dragon-related creature.
Like the kobolds, they would follow the footsteps of the true dragon and volunteer to become a Dragon’s Kin.
Gnolls were not Dragon descendants and did not have a weak Dragon bloodline like the kobolds. However, their combat power was much stronger than the kobolds, and many gnolls could speak some simple dragon language.
It wasn’t considered fluent and pleasant to the ears.
But at the very least, the Dragon language spoken by the gnolls didn’t sound like the barking of the kobolds, and it sounded more pleasant.
Although they respected the true dragon and immediately came after hearing the news, they were not the first race to come to pledge their allegiance.
The fire gnolls were already the fourth monster clan to come to the fire dwarf tribe to pledge their allegiance to garen after spreading the news of the legendary true Dragon’s appearance.
It was much easier for a legendary true dragon to gather its followers than garen had thought.
Many of the living creatures chose to pledge their allegiance to garen the moment they arrived at the fire dwarf tribe to confirm the information and saw garen’s true form.
This was because Dragons were born with a powerful deterrence, and it was also related to the flesh and blood life forms in the lava demiplane wanting a powerful backer.
“The great true dragon accepts your allegiance.”
“Now, I’ll give you your first mission.”
stand up and go back the way you came. Return to your tribe and announce my arrival to the other races on the way.
The silver Dragon said in a low voice.
Hearing this, the leader of the fire gnolls bared its fangs. Its red fur fluttered in the wind, as if it was on fire.
I promise to complete the mission. The fire gnolls will not disappoint you.
After that, groups of fire gnolls left from the foot of the volcano, turning back along the way. When they passed by some tribal clans, they spread the news of garen’s arrival like the fire dwarfs.
It was not just these fire gnolls.
The monster clans that had chosen to pledge their loyalty to garen had also received such an order.
Thus, after only a few days, the news of a legendary dragon from the main material world crossing the plane and coming to the lava world spread like wildfire, reaching almost all of the flesh and blood races.
Under the fiery red Sky, time passed by calmly and normally.
More and more intelligent creatures came to the volcano near the fire dwarf tribe. After seeing the legendary Dragon’s posture, they chose to pledge their allegiance at the speed of light. Their efficiency was so fast that the fire dwarfs were in disbelief.
In the past, there were powerful creatures or groups that wanted to unite the flesh and blood creatures that were in a state of disunity. They wanted to gain a higher power and authority, and then find a way out under the pressure of the elemental spirits.
But there were no exceptions.
They all failed.
It was because they didn’t have legendary-level strength, and they didn’t have the Dragon’s prestige that spread across many planes.
A true dragon naturally had the dignity and aura of a ruler, and it was easy for other creatures to submit to it.
A Dragon that had just reached adulthood would be able to obtain the active loyalty of many creatures, not to mention that garen was a true dragon of the legendary level, and he even had two adult evil Dragon leaders as followers.
It had been less than half a month.
More than half of the flesh and blood life groups that lived on this scorched land had already chosen to pledge their loyalty to garen and become the legendary giant Dragon’s family clan.
The fire dwarves, who were very proficient in forging and smelting, had used the power of the entire clan to build a temporary Dragon Nest for garen in just ten days using metals and ores.
The dragon’s lair was located on a steep volcanic wall and was quite magnificent.
Streams of lava meandered out of the volcano’s crater and surrounded the Dragon’s Nest. Flames and thick smoke billowed.
Around garen’s Dragon Nest, there were two smaller, more simple red Dragon’s nests. They were distributed on both sides, like side halls, surrounding and protecting garen’s main Dragon’s Nest.
These two Dragon lairs belonged to Rowell and gresha.
Although the two of them were partners, to Dragons, even if they were partners, they would not live in the same space. Both sides needed to live in their own separate dragon nests, and at the same time, they would place their treasures in case the other party coveted them.
A Dragon’s Lair could not accommodate two adult dragons, even if they were a male and a female.
In the largest Dragon’s Lair, garen was soaking in the magma pool that was drawn out from the volcano. His dragon wings were spread open, and he felt the gentle flow of the magma evenly.
He was no longer personally involved in the matter of gathering his followers.
Because it was too simple, the convergence of followers had become a programmed assembly line. When the other party saw garen, they were shocked and then swore their allegiance without any twists and turns. In the beginning, garen had even personally come out to accept the allegiance, but as the number of times increased, he became a little tired of it.
This matter was left to the two red Dragons.
Both of them enjoyed the flattery and praise from the weak creatures and happily accepted the task of gathering their followers.
These creatures that lived in a world of fire and scorched earth were very suitable to be the followers of the Red Dragon. The power of the fiery red Dragon was also very attractive to fire-element creatures. After seeing the Red Dragon for the first time and feeling the scorching hot aura on its body, many clans chose to submit.
In addition, although they were directly loyal to the Red Dragon, they all knew that the giant silver true dragon was the true master of this place.
The powerful red Dragon was only one of his followers.
Garen did not have the chance to use the violent methods he had envisioned.
The creatures and clans here were too tactful. At the very least, none of them had chosen to resist or reject the rule of the true dragon.
If it could always be this easy, garen would be happy to see it happen.
But he understood that in the end, he had to use force to speak.
The true Masters of the lava demiplane were the fire spirits and earth spirits, not the clans that chose to pledge their loyalty to him.
The powerful giant elemental spirits naturally would not come to pledge their loyalty to the legendary giant dragon the moment they heard news about it. They would most likely be thinking about how to get rid of garen and make this unstable factor that had suddenly appeared disappear from the world they controlled.
In addition, garen learned some noteworthy information from the fire dwarf.
The territories of the fire Genie and the earth Genie were clearly divided, dividing the half-plane of nearly 100 million square kilometers into two major parts.
The Eastern and Southern regions were filled with fire elementals. From time to time, there would be glaring flames in the air. Lava was everywhere, and the flames were turbulent. This was the territory of the fire Djinn, and a large number of fire elementals lived there. There was also a towering city ruled by the fire Djinn, which was built with a material called flame steel stone.
It was called the city of flame steel.
In the Western and Northern regions, the density of fire elementals was much lower. There were rugged, strange-looking Rock Hills and high mountains, and the air was filled with falling stone powder. Earth elementals dotted the area.
Here, there were also countless towering stone walls that formed a vast and deep Stone City labyrinth. Living creatures that could not fly walked into it, and only a few lucky ones could walk out of it.
The giant Earth Spirit lived in the labyrinth of the stone city.
Garen’s current location was in the middle of the fire Genie’s and earth Genie’s territories.
The fire and earth elemental energies were more balanced here, and non-elemental life forms could barely survive.
They were sandwiched in the middle by the powerful giant elemental spirits. Whenever they broke out in friction and war, the flesh and blood creatures of the lava demiplane would always bear the brunt pitifully, struggling on at death’s door in the aftermath of the war between the giant elemental spirits.
The reason it could survive until now was purely because the giant elemental spirit did not care about flesh and blood.
Occasionally, they would burn some flesh and crush some bones. To them, it was a pleasant and relaxing thing.
“In the beginning, the distribution of the elemental energy here shouldn’t be so clear.”
Garen thought to himself.
When fire elemental life forms gathered together, they would attract the gathering of fire elemental energy. In order to survive better, they would either be active or passive, gradually creating an environment with extremely dense fire elemental energy. This was the same for earth elemental life forms.
When the elemental energy became dense, it would attract or directly give birth to more elemental life.
Thus, it became a cycle.
As time passed, the lava demiplane gradually evolved into its current state.
both giant spirits want to destroy each other and make this place a pure Elemental Plane with only one element.
“If I succeed, this place will be equivalent to ... A small-scale fire elemental Plane or a small-scale earth elemental Plane.”
The Dragon wings rolled up a handful of lava and poured it down his head.
Buzzzzzz!
The hot lava slowly slid down the silver Dragon scales, giving off hot white smoke.
for elemental lifeforms, the purity of elemental energy is related to the survival of their race.
“The war between the fire and earth spirits is inevitable.”
If he wanted to control the lava demiplane, he could start with the conflict between the fire element and the earth element. Through the irresolvable conflict between the two sides, he could provoke a large-scale battle and watch from the sidelines. Finally, when both sides suffered a great loss, he could sit back and reap the benefits.
However, the above was just a lack of strength, and he needed to do it steadily.
If garen had come to the lava half-plane before this deep sleep, he would probably have done this.
But now ...
There was no need for that anymore.
This was because there weren’t many legendary creatures in the lava demiplane.
On the surface, there were only the Lord of flame Steel City and the Lord of Stone City.
The classes between the giant elemental spirits were arranged by their own strength, in a pyramid-like form from top to bottom, with the strong dominating the weak.
The Lord of flame Steel City and the Lord of Stone City were the two most powerful elemental spirits, both legendary-level existences.
As for whether these elementals still had hidden legendary power, or if there were other non-elemental legends hiding in this interdimensional space, the fire dwarves were not sure, and the other clans were also not aware.
