A Dragon against the Whole World

He also heard the news conveyed by Gordon about the Lothern King’s personal expedition.

With a little thought, he could understand the deep meaning behind Galos’s actions.

At this moment, Solrog raised a practical question: "Currently, all aspects of tribal affairs require a Giant Dragon to preside over, and there are no free leaders capable of handling them. To whom do you intend to assign the task of pioneering the Eternal Frost Tundra?"

The Red Dragon Samantha is courageous and skilled in alchemy, but not a managerial Dragon; the Iron Dragon Solrog needs to stay stationed in the Northwest wilderness to oversee the overall situation; while the Blue Dragon Zoraya is outstanding in ability, the new establishment in the Central Region cannot do without her management; the other vassal lords also have their duties and cannot be reassigned.

Galos did not directly answer.

He instead asked, "Who do you think is more suitable?"

After a brief exchange and deliberation, the two Giant Dragons reached a consensus, and a name surfaced.

"Thank you, Leader, for your trust and importance! I will not disappoint your expectations!"

When the Blue Dragon Heryam received the direct transmission from Galos, he was initially stunned, nearly unable to believe his ears. Even with his calm and rational nature, immense excitement and a strong sense of honor overwhelmed him.

In the past period.

His companions, the Green Dragon Ludwig and the Black Dragon Seraphina, jointly managed the Undead Nest, overseeing the core task of the Dragon Forging Transformation Ceremony. Meanwhile, aside from assisting the Iron Dragon Solrog with some territorial follower management chores, he was not entrusted with any independent major responsibilities.

He had always longed to receive more trust, to be responsible for a truly important mission that was exclusively his.

But he never expected that the Leader would entrust him with such a critical and strategically significant task, assigning it to a Blue Dragon not yet entered into youth.

Opening up a new territory, expanding the Molten Iron Tribe’s domain in the frozen world...

This was far more significant and honorable than any task Heryam had previously imagined.

In fact, in Galos’s consideration, although Blue Dragon Heryam was currently slightly lacking in strength and was young, his demonstrated calm decisiveness and strategic vision were remarkable among dragons of his age, even surpassing many adult Blue Dragons.

This time heading north to the Eternal Frost Tundra, the primary goal was not conquest but to prudently establish a forward post and retreat path.

Therefore, the leader’s strength was not the sole criterion; a careful mind and loyalty were more important.

Moreover, the main camp at the Border Area could provide support at any time. If necessary, he could even personally intervene, giving the Frozen Plain creatures a show of "a king descending from the sky."

Most importantly.

Heryam had joined the tribe early on and had long been influenced by the tribe’s training and ideology as one of its own Dragons.

Compared to those newly subordinated, youth and adult Dragons from the Dominican Dragon Group, his loyalty and familiarity with the tribe’s operation model were more trustworthy.

Galos, after a comprehensive evaluation, decided to entrust him with this important task.

"You can bring Kahill with you."

"Then carefully select a group of suitable followers to form the Pioneer Corps, assisting you in establishing and developing in the Icefield."

As he spoke, his tone became solemn and low.

"Heryam, remember your core task is not to fight with the Icefield creatures but to establish a strong foothold and open up a strategic passage on the frozen ground for the tribe."

"Remember, patience and wisdom far outweigh brute courage."

The Blue Dragon Heryam nodded heavily.

He puffed up his chest, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"For the glory of the King of Molten Iron! I, Heryam, swear by my life and soul that I will do my utmost to open up new territories in the Eternal Frost Tundra for the tribe and achieve results that will satisfy you!"

Immediately afterward, Galos ended this transmission.

The Blue Dragon Heryam couldn’t wait to share the good news with his companions and immediately engaged in intense work, selecting elite followers and planning the composition of the corps, preparing for the upcoming northern exploration mission.

As for Galos, he turned his attention back to himself.

He deeply understood that no matter how the external strategy was planned, no matter who was dispatched to execute it, ultimately, the limit of the tribe’s destiny would depend on the power he, himself, possessed.

He swung his Dragon Tail, moving with heavy steps, once again heading towards the training ground, continuing his relentless daily training and honing.

This was not just for himself.

For the entire Ignas Dragon Group and Molten Iron Tribe, the leader’s strength was always the foremost and overriding concern.
