Red dragon: in charge of natural disasters

"This, this Majesty killed the Fire Giant!"

"Oh my God..."

"This is actually true, the Fire Giants were all killed! Not only were they killed, but they were also eaten by this Majesty!"

"He is much stronger than those Fire Giants! This is the master we are truly loyal to!"

A huge fire lizard elder with a thick snake tail in the lower body said in shock.

These slaves have been enslaved by the Fire Giants in the Black Iron City for an unknown period of time. Even those fire lizards were trained as slave races and have been enslaved for generations. They have been slaves of the Fire Giants for more than a dozen generations.

Even if they are released, most of them still have an image of an omnipotent "master" in their hearts.

That is the deep-rooted chain that the Fire Giants have set for them for thousands of years to prevent rebellion, which is deeply rooted in their flesh and blood. It is not so easy to break.

It is easier to erect a new statue than to destroy it.

In the same way, it is much easier to transfer faith than to completely destroy faith.

When the fire giants, whom they regarded as omnipotent gods, were easily crushed and even swallowed by a more powerful and larger individual, the emotions of obedience and worship naturally shifted to Cassius.

The slaves' chaotic and panicked discussions sounded.

"He gave us back the status of free people!"

"What a kind Majesty!"

"Yes!"

They exclaimed in their own languages.

Those different eyes were full of flattery to the superiors and worship of the strong.

Although Cassius announced their status as free people, most of them still followed the old habits, replaced the giants, and regarded the dragon majesty as their master.

"Long live Majesty Cassius!"

"Long live the Burning Empire!"

The fire lizard elder raised his arms and shouted.

His common language was not very proficient, stumbling, and mixed with some breath of the fire language, but it seemed particularly pious.

"Pah!"

The fire lizard knelt down, its lizard-like head touching the hot ground, its thick snake body twisting excitedly.

And slaves of many other races also knelt on the ground in unison, their foreheads touching the hot ground, calling their masters in a low voice, as if some kind of physical instinct had been triggered.

The heavy chains wrapped around their necks and the metal shackles buckled on their feet collided with each other, making a clattering sound.

"Tsk tsk..."

"These fire giants are really good at keeping slaves."

Casius flapped his wings in the sky, looking down at the slaves on the ground with his pale golden pupils, with little expression on his face.

"Shua——"

He slowly descended from the sky and landed on the ground, raising bursts of ashes and dust.

Casius ignored the slaves kneeling on the ground, but waved his claws, using flames to cut the space not far away, creating a huge space crack.

Thousands of officers and soldiers of the Imperial Fire Elemental Plane Vanguard marched out of the portal in neat steps, holding rifles, and lined up in front of Cassius at the commander's command.

Everyone was extremely excited. This was His Majesty's personal inspection! What an honor!

How many imperial soldiers could not get such a precious opportunity! But they could line up in front of His Majesty!

"Bang!"

At the order of the officers, the soldiers raised their guns and fired.

Those salamanders and fire dwarves kneeling on the ground were trembling with fear, thinking they were going to be hurt.

And Serkan half-knelt in front of the red dragon, placed his right hand on his left chest, and performed a standard "loyalty" salute.

"Your Majesty!"

"The Fourth Imperial Vanguard is here to obey your orders."

"Serkan, I need you to completely control this city, including these..."

Casius glanced at the slaves kneeling on the ground with extremely nervous expressions, and then continued: "Freemen."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"The first battalion! Responsible for taking over the southeast city!"

"The second battalion! Responsible for..."

The officers began to issue orders in accordance with military regulations.

And Serkan stared at the nervous slaves, grinning like a dragon.

"Everyone, please lead the way. ”

Under the guidance of the slaves, the soldiers of the empire quickly took over the entire city, and encountered hidden fire giants in the process.

In the process, they also encountered the remnants of the fire giants hidden in the city, but in the long-term battles, the soldiers of the empire have understood the weaknesses of these elemental creatures and easily extinguished sporadic resistance.

It’s just that some special habits of the fire elemental plane still make them a little uncomfortable-for example, the flame fountain on the Emir’s mansion, and the "gadgets" collected by the fire giants that can turn mortals into ashes.

Casius came to the city wall again, watching the surging steam clouds and the rain of ash in the orange-red sky, the light flickered in the pale golden pupils, and sulfur-smelling smoke spewed out of his nostrils.

He seemed a little excited.

"Strange celestial phenomenon..."

"Is it finally coming... the real messenger of the Fire Giant Sultan. Even if the Sultan can't come in person, at least he has to send a Pasha. ”

"Boom! "

First there was a heavy muffled sound, followed by the harsh sound of air bursting.

Then, the magma rivers on the ground surged, and the wildfires on the wasteland became more vigorous and violent. The boiling white steam filled the surface, and there were gossamer-like flowing flames in the air.

The magma river rushed down the cliff, forming a huge and spectacular fire waterfall. This liquid flame broke an area, forming a natural vortex, making the surrounding elements frantic.

And in the sky, there was an even more spectacular flame vortex with a diameter of hundreds of meters. It was like a lion head with its mouth open, causing the surrounding gravel to fly and ashes to swirl, almost sweeping everything around it.

"That is..."

"The flaming lion!"

The older Salamander elder looked at the vision in the sky, his body trembling violently, and the fear deeply engraved in his blood could not stop surfacing in his heart.

"The Lord of Fire..."

"It's Pasha! A noble Pasha has arrived!"

The Salamander elder couldn't help but exclaimed.

He had only seen the majestic figure of a pasha when he was young. That event had happened nearly a hundred years ago, but it was still fresh in his mind.

"Noble?"

"No one can be called noble in front of His Majesty. Watch your words."

Serkan crossed his arms and reminded him gloomily.

"Yes, yes... My Lord."

The Salamander Elder apologized quickly.

In the sky, the strange phenomenon continued. First, an arm stretched out from the center of the vortex of fire, and finally a strong body - it was a fire giant!

This strange fire giant was much taller than ordinary fire giants, and it didn't even look like the same species. This ten-meter-tall giant was particularly sturdy, with red and purple skin, and covered with complex flame patterns.

The angry round eyes radiated fierce flames, like two dazzling stars. There was a pair of dark and curved horns on his head, and billowing smoke rose from his body.

The rough skin of the fire giant was covered with a robe made of fine silk and satin. He also wore a bracelet and ring made of gold, and the most eye-catching thing was the glittering golden ring around his neck.

It was a rare treasure given by the Great Sultan of the Fire Giants, and it was also a symbol of identity - it represented that he was the extremely noble Pasha, one of the six direct servants of the Great Sultan of the Fire Giants.

Only the most powerful fire giants were qualified to be awarded such an honor and become the right-hand man of the Great Sultan.

"Red Dragon!"

"You have crossed the line!"

"The Elemental Plane of Fire is the country ruled by the Great Sultan! It is the glorious land of the fire giants! You will not be allowed to be presumptuous here!"

The roar echoed in the scorched wasteland.

And Cassius looked at the angry fire giant in the distance, his pupils shrank slightly, and the dragon face showed an interested expression.

"Just one of the Pashas has such strength..."
