Chapter 153 Dragon Valley
Dusk gradually turned into night.
The light cast by the twin moons bathed the valley, as if draping the rugged rock walls in a silver veil, while the valley was filled with the astringent scent of dragon blood.
Galos slowly withdrew his claws from Tasha's neck.
The powerful, scarred dragon landed on the ground, and then the dragons, including it, crouched low, their wing membranes pressed against the ground, emitting submissive growls.
"From today onwards, you will be responsible for guarding the airspace over the valley."
Galos's voice echoed through the valley, saying, "Tear apart the bodies of all who trespass."
With the presence of these dragons and several Korra giant eagles, he wouldn't have to worry about aerial surveillance as much as he used to.
After all, it is a creature with dragon blood.
Wyverns are powerful enough to be second only to true dragons.
Despite their quick submission and subservience before Garus, wyverns are considered extremely terrifying predators by most intelligent beings.
Their claws can tear steel, their wings can shatter rocks, and their sharp tail spikes carry deadly venom; they are truly monsters.
The female flying dragon raised her head first and let out a hiss.
"As you wish, the wyvern will tear apart all your enemies."
It said.
The dragons raised their heads, their deep roars echoing in the night.
At the same time, two other dragon shadows spiraled down from the sky.
Samantha's scales shone like burning flames in the moonlight, while Thorog's body gleamed with a cold, hard metallic sheen.
Their arrival caused a brief commotion among the wyverns, with most instinctively tucking their necks in.
This is the uncontrollable awe that the dragon feels when facing a real dragon.
Apart from Tasha, other dragons would find it difficult to resist the suppression at the bloodline level.
Only the dragon Tasha submitted to Garus, but when facing the red and iron dragons, she still showed her unruly side, raising her head and staring directly at the two young dragons without any hesitation.
Just as it proclaimed to Galus.
They disrespect bloodlines and only submit to strength.
While both the Red Dragon and the Iron Dragon are superior dragons, they are still juvenile dragons and not enough to inspire awe and respect in Tasha. Garus is an exception; his power has already conquered the wild and fierce leader of the Flying Dragons.
"Oh, my dear brother."
Samantha raised her chin, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said, "Among the new subspecies you've recruited, there seems to be one that lacks reverence for true dragons."
Having said that, its gaze, like a branding iron, stared straight at Tasha and said, "Inferior! Who gave you permission to look me in the eye?!"
The Flying Dragon Leader spread its enormous wingspan and growled fiercely, "You have no right to talk back to me. You should be glad that you are not facing me alone now."
Given the Red Dragon's volatile temper, it could not tolerate the provocations of the subspecies.
Bang!
Samantha's feet shattered the ground, her dragon wings flapped, accelerating her forward, and the entire dragon charged straight at Tasha like a lava cannonball.
Caught off guard.
The leader of the flying dragons was knocked away by the 'dragon chariot'.
Red dragons are smaller than flying dragons, and their age and life level are also inferior, but their naturally powerful bodies still possess an unstoppable force when charging at full speed.
It flapped its wings.
The flying dragon leader steadied himself in mid-air.
It bared its teeth and roared, about to retaliate against Samantha, who continued to charge.
That's enough.
Galos intervened at the opportune moment.
The young red dragon is probably no match for the flying dragon.
The young dragon leader is currently level 10, with the same life level as Garus, two life levels higher than Samantha. Moreover, unlike ordinary dragons that are lean and wiry, it appears to have undergone extensive training and is extremely strong, making it an anomaly.
The attack had allowed Samantha to vent her frustrations, and the dragon had also paid a price for its arrogance.
It's time to stop now.
Galos's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a bucket of ice water that extinguished the flames of an impending war.
Even the enraged red dragon snapped back to reality and halted its charge.
Tasha immediately abandoned her aggressive stance, her anger turning into submission.
The newly recruited dragon leader bowed deeply, using this gesture to express submission to the red iron dragon—a gesture of reverence for power and obedience to the arbiter.
"You are a member of Galus's retinue, so be thankful for it."
"Otherwise, I would have snapped your neck by now."
Samantha breathed fire from her mouth and said.
The Flying Dragon leader remained silent, offering no further provocation. Over two hundred years of honing its skills had endowed it with wisdom far exceeding that of ordinary monsters, and it understood that it needed to yield at the right time.
The power contained in the young red dragon's collision just now also surprised Tasha, causing it to calm down.
Dragons become stronger much faster than it.
Before long, it will be completely surpassed by the Red Dragon.
After thinking it over, for the better development of the tribe, the Flying Dragon leader suppressed his arrogance, took a deep breath, bowed his head to the Red Dragon, and said, "I apologize for my offense, please forgive me."
Upon hearing this, Samantha paused slightly, then raised her head high, like a proud and victorious swan.
"Fool, I, the dragon, disdain to bother with subspecies."
It said this, unable to hide the joy on its face.
Conquering powerful and unruly creatures is more fulfilling than intimidating cowards. Samantha is now very happy; her previous displeasure has vanished, and she even finds the Flying Dragon Leader much more agreeable.
"Tasha, go and count the number of your people, their age groups, and then report back to me."
"Garos said."
The flying dragon leader nodded, then looked towards the western mountain wall and let out a sharp whistle.
Immediately afterwards, one after another, juvenile bipedal dragons poked their heads out and landed nervously.
Previously, the dragons that came out to meet the enemy and attack the giant wolf knight were mainly young, adult dragons.
The younger, juvenile dragons remained inside the cave.
Including Tasha, there were ten young and strong dragons in this flock, and the number of other dragons was even greater, roughly estimated to be more than forty. It was a sizable flock of dragons, and it was a pleasant surprise to encounter and subdue them.
When Feilong was compiling statistics on the population situation.
Iron Dragon Sorog's gaze swept across the valley, then he walked over and said, "This will be a new beginning for us. I suggest we name our new territory."
Galos nodded: "Okay, what are your thoughts?"
He asked the three dragons.
Fairy Dragon Vera was the first to suggest, "Fairy Valley!"
It twirled gracefully, scattering shimmering light powder in the night: "How beautiful! Just hearing it makes one feel happy!"
Samantha glanced at the fairy dragon and said, "A weak name, it has no intimidation whatsoever."
The fairy dragon retorted, unconvinced, "It sounds really good! It sounds like a beautiful, relaxing, and fun place."
The red dragon ignored the fairy dragon's words.
It preferred exaggerated and flamboyant names, spitting out two sparks from its nostrils: "Only the Ash Realm is worthy of our might! Let our enemies tremble at the mere mention of it!"
This is a name that perfectly suits Red Dragon's preferences.
Galos looked at the Iron Dragon.
After a moment of contemplation, Tie Long said, "A land forged from steel and ice should be named after power—I propose the Black Iron Domain."
It sounds like someone who does blacksmithing.
not good.
Galos shook his head slightly and asked the leader of the flying dragons, "Tasha, what was this place called before?"
The dragon-headed leader turned around and replied, "Our tribe calls this place Broken Claw Cliff."
It pointed its tail tip toward the cliff to the east: "Over the years, many young wyverns have proven their courage here. They let themselves fall to the ground and compete to see who can take off in the last second. During this time, many wyverns have broken their claws."
It is named Broken Claw Cliff because its claws were broken.
What a simple naming convention.
Finally, Red Iron Dragon's gaze swept over his arguing companions and then looked at the entire valley.
The rugged cliffs undulate like a dragon's spine, the icy lake reflects the two moons, herds of beasts hide in the night, and dragon's nests adorn the cliffs.
"This place will become the territory of the dragons, and perhaps more dragons will be recruited in the future."
His voice echoed through the valley, and his dragon might silenced all the arguments, finally bringing the matter to a close. He declared, "Let's call it—Dragon Valley."
