Ashen Dragon

"Anyone who attacks or kills each other will be deducted 15,000 faction contribution points! A fine of 500 Ginnars!"

"Any guild that violates this rule will be deducted 8,000 guild level points! A fine of 10,000 Ginnars!"

In an instant, the battlefield, initially filled with roaring noise and chaos, turned silent. The players who were fighting to the death just seconds ago now stood as brothers.

Guilds that had been attacking each other, organizing offensives, now seemed like a family, even actively helping each other clean up the battlefield, creating a scene of peace and harmony.

Players were reluctant to incur a heavy debt due to one mission, and those guilds were extremely cautious, fearing their guild level might drop, losing many privileges and benefits they once had.

Adrian and Duke Franz both watched, dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

Could such a fierce conflict be resolved with just a few words?

The players who were fighting fiercely just moments ago changed completely upon hearing the Duke's words, becoming model citizens.

Is this reasonable?

Could it be that Duke Misha's status within the empire is far more exalted than they imagined?

However, the ensuing scene shocked them even more, leaving them stunned.

Over a hundred players knelt on the ground, prostrating, chanting in unison: "Lord Misha, please whip me hard! Glory to Dragon Mother!"

A player kneeled on one knee, pulled out a ring from somewhere, yelling, "Wife, marry me!"

Even more extreme, one player fell to the ground in fervor, mumbling indistinctly, but two words were exceptionally clear: "Mama!"

Even their fellow players were speechless, unable to look straight, finally managing to say after holding back for a long time: "Junior Brother Wawa is like this..."

Adrian rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "Could this be the way imperial people express their respect?"

Misha resisted the impulse to burn these players to ashes, descended slowly from the sky, and approached Adrian and Franz.

"We meet again, Count Adrian, seems like... our cooperation was quite pleasant."

Adrian nodded in response, "Thank you for your assistance, Duke Misha, last time you also rescued me from danger."

Misha coldly said, "You should thank the empire, thank His Majesty Cassius. Without reinforcements from the empire, Green Valley Town would have become ruins by now!"

Duke Franz stepped forward with a harsh tone: "Even without these lunatics, we Seleucid people could rely on our indomitable fighting spirit to drive the evil dragons and their retainers out of Green Valley Town! Out of Fadlan's territory!"

As he spoke the words "Fadlan's territory," the Duke deliberately emphasized his tone, each word resolute and powerful.

Assessment: This red dragon is referred to as the "Crimson Emperor" by dragon researchers. In just a few decades, he established an enormously powerful empire, casting the vast land of the Anzeta Great Wilderness under the shadow of his wings.

Under the dual witness of the "Platinum Dragon God" Bahamut and the "Five-Colored Dragon Queen" Tiamat, this red dragon donned the crown symbolizing supreme power, crowning himself emperor.

Some revere him as a savior and liberator; others despise him as a most vile and evil dragon.

But without doubt, the power of this red dragon is awe-inspiring; he once incinerated the infamous "Voice of the Night" Mortifael to ashes, caused the renowned "Wings of Silver" Osedro of the Melwood Clan to fall from the sky, and even devoured a Giant Spirit Pasha in the Fire Elemental Plane.

Now, amidst the chaos of the Fianso Continent, he lurks within a volcano, silently accumulating strength—his pale gold pupils full of greed; no one knows just how far his ambitions will reach.
