Red dragon: in charge of natural disasters

The envoys from the Fadland region were watching the ceremony intently, with particularly solemn expressions - this was actually part of Cassius' plan.

He deliberately built the altar into a shape similar to the "Pyramid of the Sun God" and extended grace to it, just to remind them of the "Ascension Ceremony" a hundred and fifty years ago.

It's just that he originally wanted to perform [Bloodline Gift], but now he has replaced it with [Empire Grace] which has a more significant effect.

People in the venue raised their heads, looked up at the sky as bright as day, and stared at the brilliant streams of flames.

"Is this your Majesty's power?"

“Absolutely a miracle”

"so beautiful."

On the majestic altar, bursts of powerful dragon aura suddenly erupted, attracting people's attention.

Even Cassius, who was high in the sky, looked down and towards the upper levels of the altar.

"This is."

"The legendary essence of life."

The swirling white smoke slowly dispersed, and a huge black shadow appeared on the altar.

The dragon-veined ogre is nearly ten meters tall. Its fleshy body is covered in red scales. There are several stubby horns on its head, and even disproportionate fleshy wings grow out of its back.

The bloodline of the ancestral dragon has surpassed that of the ogre. At this moment, Trump is essentially closer to a fat red dragon than an ogre.

And his life essence also broke through the shackles of mortal things and reached the level of legend.

As the level of the mage increases and the spells are combined with a powerful body, Lump's strength will become even more terrifying.

In Cassius's vision, the challenge level of [Giant Intelligent Man-Lump] reached a terrifying level 17, and his suffix was also added - [Legendary Monster]

"This imperial gift is indeed effective. I finally have a legendary dependent."

Cassius suddenly beamed with joy.

And he looked at the other two dukes. Metrolash was approaching the legendary level, while Doro was a little behind.

"Master, thank you for your grace."

Trump knelt on the altar, with extreme emotion suppressed on his ugly face.

"His Majesty!"

"This is such a powerful force."

"Is this the dragon blood noble?"

Most of those dragon-blooded nobles who accepted the grace also woke up from their coma. Feeling the surging power in their bodies, they knelt down neatly towards the red dragon.

An invisible soul bond appeared between them and the emperor, making their surrender so natural.

"Ouch——"

Cassius let out a slight whistle, first hovered in the air, landed suddenly on the top of the altar, and finally spread out his broad wings.

The outer sky became dark again, but there were still remaining flames in the sky. The red dragon stood with its backlight, and a bright edge of light was outlined around the huge figure.

"Long live the Empire!"

"Long live His Majesty Cassius!"

There was a sudden shout from the crowd.

Then, like a contagion, the garrison soldiers cheered, the onlookers cheered, and the Starfallers also cheered.

However, among this crowded and enthusiastic crowd, there are many strange things mixed in.

"Deities, ascension rituals."

"I must go back and report to His Majesty Wilham! This empire is very dangerous, far beyond the imagination of some people in the kingdom!"

Dayev looked at the red dragon on the altar with a particularly solemn expression.

He was extremely horrified to discover that even he himself - a bard from the Kingdom of Thrace and a close associate of His Majesty Wilham - almost immersed himself in the warm atmosphere and shouted the slogan "Long Live the Empire" .

"The Harpers wanted to overthrow such a country with rebellion. How could this be possible?"

"Abiel, forgive me, maybe I'm just correcting some mistakes that are destined to fail."

Richard looked around at the enthusiastic faces of the people around him. He pulled his hood down and disappeared into the crowd again.

The envoy from the Kingdom of Cassander, Favaro Gregory, was thoughtful and recorded something on the scroll with a quill.

"Your Majesty, I think the Ember Empire may be an important help in our defeat of the Thracian Kingdom."

"It's more powerful than we thought."

People's voices are like tides, washing over this wasteland round after round.

Hundreds of thousands of people brought the heated atmosphere to its peak, and their fanatical slogans of "Long live the Empire" and "Long live His Majesty Cassius" spread throughout the Anzeta Wilderness.

Cassius stood on the top of the altar, overlooking the restless crowd on the ground, and nodded slightly.

"Long live the Empire?"

"No, that's just the vision of mortal beings. For the dragon, ten thousand years is not an unattainable goal."

"And what I need is eternity."

The red dragon looked up at the sky and thought in his heart.

“I will never forget the coronation and the almost paralyzing feeling of being so captivated and intoxicated.”

"Since then, I have had some indescribable premonition in my heart - maybe this empire will create greater achievements than Holy Fadland."

——"Memoirs" Dayev Nelson

Late at night on March 2, 1786, in the Third Age, the coronation ceremony ended in Istalia.

Historical records record:

The red dragon is crowned and the Ember Empire is established.

News about this world-famous event spread throughout the Fianso continent in just a few days, and even caused a sensation in the entire main material plane.

The Ember Empire showed strong military strength and developed a special military system that was different from any other country.

The five-color dragon queen Tiamat and the platinum dragon king Bahamut simultaneously lowered their projections to personally witness the coronation of the Ember King.

The Red Dragon bestowed grace on its subjects and held a ceremony similar to the "Ascension Ceremony", creating several legendary strong men.

The news spread one after another.

Just as the high-ranking officials of the empire had expected - the two gods were personally witnessed, similar to the grace of the Sun God's ascension ceremony, which greatly shocked the southern forces, and also made the name of the Burning Ember Empire completely known on the Fianso Continent.

This is also one of Cassius' purposes.

It can be easily foreseen that after this coronation ceremony, the empire will have a greater say and become very important on the Fianso continent.

Cassius also became more famous.

People also seem to have discovered that the relationship between this red dragon and Tiamat is not as close as rumored, and there is even a gap.

Cassius's distinctive ferocious appearance, huge size at the level of an ancient dragon, and a character that is different from ordinary red dragons and is not brutal and rough have aroused great interest among dragon scholars from all over the world.

Therefore, under the continuous research of dragon scholars, the title of "Dragon Prince" was completely banned and replaced by the more representative title of "Red Emperor".

"The 'Red Emperor' rose like a meteor, but did not fall like a comet."
