Chapter 112 Battleband, Dragon Vein Glutton
"Let flames and steel bear witness!"
Galos said in a deep voice, "I, Galos, the Red and Iron Dragon, will lead you to glory! I will grant you a new life!"
The monsters knelt down one by one.
"With flames and steel as our witness, the people of molten iron will forever be loyal to you!"
They felt as if they were witnessing a memorable period of history, and a unique emotion welled up in their hearts.
"Remember your oath today!" The dragon roared, soaring into the sky: "When my wings blot out the sun, your names will be etched into history along with the people of molten iron!"
Following that, Garus continued to appoint members of his kin.
He abolished the clan system, but different families had different habits and social customs, and it was easy for trouble to happen if they were mixed together. So he still had to distinguish them, and instead used the form of battle groups to differentiate them.
The names of the warbands have not yet been finalized, and for the time being, they will continue to use their previous clan names.
—Bone-Chewing Warband, Red-Eyes Warband, Cracked Claw Warband, Howling Moon Warband.
Gluttonous Demon Karu is tentatively appointed as the legion leader.
Former clan leaders such as Bloodfang Hodge, Russell, and Nara the War Lizardman were second-tier Chapter Masters. The appointment of leaders below the Chapter Masters was handled by the Chapter Masters.
Each chapter also has a Molten Iron Priest position, filled by warlocks and shamans selected by Garros.
The Iron Priest has the power to veto the Chapter Master's proposals and can apply to Garros for a ruling if there are any objections. He is above the Chapter Master, but cannot command the Chapter. He is directly loyal to Garros and is essentially his eyes and ears.
"Given the current scale of each battle group, calling them battle groups is a bit too arrogant."
"However, the future is promising."
After completing the appointment, Garos rewarded the Gluttonous Demon, who had performed the most bravely and meticulously, by officially granting it the Dragon Vein Transformation.
He granted Karu supreme authority over all warbands, second only to himself.
Of course, its absolute loyalty must be ensured.
The transformation of the dragon vein is essential.
More importantly, the battle with the diamond giant left Garus seriously injured and bleeding profusely. This dragon blood could not be wasted; it was perfect for transforming into a dragon bloodline familiar.
Immediately afterwards.
Several chapter leaders and the Iron Priests followed Garros to the crater where the diamond giant had fallen and died.
Here lies a pool of blood formed from the blood of the Garuda dragon.
The reason for having the other clan leaders accompany them was to let them witness firsthand how the Gluttonous Demon Dragon Vein had become stronger after its transformation, thereby stimulating their enthusiasm.
Galos led Gluttony down into the pit, while the other members of his retinue remained at the edge to observe.
Immediately afterwards, under the envious gazes of the other members of the family, Garus began to transform the Gluttony Demon's dragon veins according to the inherited records.
He uttered obscure and ancient dragon language.
Magical energy gathered in his claws, stained with dragon blood, and then he inscribed special runes on the blood pool. As the runes and ancient dragon language incantations were performed, an invisible vortex seemed to appear in the blood pool and began to rotate.
In the blink of an eye, all the blood gathered and condensed into a blood sphere, which floated in mid-air.
As the last syllable of Galos's mouth fell, the blood sphere suddenly burst into flames, the intense heat distorting the air like lava.
"Karu, eat it."
"Garos said."
Without hesitation, the Gluttonous Demon looked at the lava blood orb that exuded a dangerous aura, stepped forward, opened its blood-red maw, and swallowed it whole.
"I don't feel anything."
Smacking his lips, Karu said in a muffled voice.
Immediately afterwards, as if in response, intense heat rose from the abdomen.
Karu's skin also turned an unnatural red, as if magma was surging beneath his skin.
Its pupils contracted to pinpoints, a painful gurgling sound came from its throat, it knelt on the ground, and opened its mouth to spew out a stream of scorching flames—the first signal that the dragon blood was beginning to rewrite the essence of its life.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
It seemed to be tormented by immense pain, and it frantically pounded the ground.
As time slowly passed, the bottom of the pit trembled repeatedly.
Karu's gray skin began to crack and peel off, and red dragon scales squeezed out from inside.
Some of its teeth became exceptionally thick and sharp, protruding from the mouth and fitting tightly against the upper and lower jaws.
Its horns began to sweep back, becoming more rugged and ferocious.
Its spine pierced through flesh and blood, growing three rows of thorns, while its tailbone pierced directly through flesh and blood, growing longer and longer until it finally became a new tail.
Its limbs and torso became more robust, with layers of muscles bulging out, as if cast from steel.
final.
Karu now possesses characteristics of dragons, specifically red dragons. In addition to the scent of Gluttony, he also has a sulfurous odor, indicating the addition of red dragon blood to his body, unlike Galos who is a dual hybrid.
The transformation of the dragon vein has been successfully completed.
Karu gasped for breath, stood up, and exuded an even stronger aura and dragon might than before.
After it calmed down, it roared to the sky, its voice a mixture of dragon roars and ogre howls, announcing the birth of a new being.
Immediately afterwards, Karu suddenly knelt on one knee, causing the ground to shatter and the newly grown dragon tail to carve furrows in the ground.
"With molten iron and dragon's blood as proof—"
It once again pledged its allegiance to Galus, solemnly declaring, "May my flesh and blood become the foundation of your throne, and my soul the fierce wind between your wings!"
Garos gazed at the Dragon Vein Gluttony, able to clearly sense its thought processes.
Its awe, its respect, its loyalty have reached their peak; it is willing to give its life for itself without hesitation.
That concludes the discussion.
Galos now has a capable lieutenant and a dragon's familiar.
In the future, when he encounters minor troubles, he will no longer need to take action personally, and can focus more on strengthening himself and his own training and evolution.
It's a bit of a pity.
Karu inherited the bloodline of a red dragon, not an iron dragon. If it had the bloodline of an iron dragon, it might have been able to further enhance its intelligence, especially in managing its territory.
Most of the Iron Dragons dream of establishing a dragon empire and are quite adept at managing their territories. The Iron Dragon Girl's territory, in particular, is well-organized and well-planned.
Ranch, sentry post, army, logistics.
The division of labor was clear and the order was well maintained.
Galos's knowledge of monarchy and lordship both comes from the Iron Dragon legacy.
As for the knowledge of territory management in the Red Dragon Legacy, it's very simple—kill!
Those who disobey will be killed.
Those who can't do their job well, kill them.
Kill anything that displeases you!
Red dragons prefer to maintain their rule through brutal means, which can easily backfire. Garros prefers the management style inherited from the Iron Dragons.
Next.
The retinue carried the remains of the diamond giant back to the giant's camp to clean up the mess.
Ultimately, a squad of ogres from the Bonechewing Warband was left behind to guard the Leyline Pond, led by Karu's brother, the ogre Ugo.
This nameless highland, which witnessed the birth of the Ironforge clan, was later named Quenching Highlands by Garros.
