Chapter 677 - 411: Rumors About the King of Molten Iron
After the baptism of war and the accumulation of peace, a series of events, like the hand of fate, slowly brushed over every inch of the Sel Wilderness.
As of today.
The central and northwest vast areas of the wilderness have flourished under the rule of the Molten Iron Tribe, with unprecedented vitality, orderly governance, and burgeoning power.
In the southern region, following the fall of the Fungus King at the hands of the Legendary Sword Saint—who eventually turned to ash under the claws of the Red Iron Dragon—this lawless land is undoubtedly about to be incorporated into the Molten Iron Tribe’s territory.
Now, only the rolling, rugged mountain range in the northeast remains with another Regional King.
—The Mountain King.
A mighty Hill Giant.
Under him, a large number of Giant Race followers have gathered.
These exiles of the Seresia Continent, following in the footsteps of the Mountain King, have crossed mountains and waters, braved countless obstacles, and finally found a place to live in the northeastern corner of the Sel Wilderness.
Shortly after the King of Molten Iron boldly slayed a Legendary human in direct combat.
The news spread like a whirlwind, reaching every corner of the wilderness.
From the residents of settlements like Ximu Town, reliant on the tribe, to those well-informed merchants and adventurers risking their lives with every sword stroke, all were deeply shocked and amazed by this.
Before this, the fierce reputation and formidable might of the King of Molten Iron were already well-known across the wilderness, ranking among the top of the several Regional Kings.
Red Flame Omen Star, Sky-Splitting Wings, Dragon of the Earth Destruction, and so on.
... People with awe and fear have bestowed upon him many intimidating titles.
And after the death of the Legendary Sword Saint, his fame instantly reached its peak, leaping to become the most renowned, unparalleled presence in the entire Sel Wilderness.
At this moment, all the wise beings living on this land.
No matter the race, regardless of stance, they have deeply remembered the name of the King of Molten Iron, acknowledging the formidable power of this Red Iron Giant Dragon capable of slaying legendaries.
It’s not just the wilderness.
His fame transcended the boundaries of the wilderness.
The Red Iron Dragon and his led Molten Iron Tribe officially entered the view of the Southern Countries’ rulers.
Many people for the first time clearly realized, in that land considered barbaric is the Sel Wilderness, there lurked a giant dragon overlord named the King of Molten Iron, who in front of all eyes, accomplished the feat of slaying a legend.
With his rise to fame, various rumors and legends about the wilderness and the countries started to circulate.
Some say: The King of Molten Iron is actually an Ancient Dragon who has already stepped into the Legendary Domain.
He has a peculiar personality, loves disguises, mingling with mortals to experience life.
Some say: The King of Molten Iron is very young.
He possesses a rare talent seen once in thousands of years, capable of defeating legends, slaying them with just a single strike.
Some say: The King of Molten Iron’s dragon-controlling skills are extremely powerful.
Though he is an Evil Dragon, he shares a close relationship with the orderly Metal Dragons, having a formidable background behind him that others fear.
And there’s even more bizarre claims: The King of Molten Iron was born in a certain Metal Dragon Domain, symbolizing misfortune.
Due to forming an unauthorized bond with the descendant of the Domain’s ruler, he was expelled, angrily vowing to become stronger, even settling a "Three Hundred Year Agreement" with the Dragon Domain, threatening to one day penetrate the entire Dragon Domain.
......
All those rumors about the King of Molten Iron continue to ferment, spread, some still somewhat close to reality, others completely baseless, full of imagination and fabrication.
But regardless, the name of the King of Molten Iron has echoed in all directions.
Many wise creatures think, this powerful giant dragon, his ambitions are far beyond the present situation, what he wants is to rule the entire Sel Wilderness, becoming its first rightful King of the Wilderness.
This judgment is actually correct.
Galos has already resolved to unify the wilderness.
He will establish a nation here, allowing the Molten Iron Tribe to complete a qualitative leap, making that crucial step.
After some time of discussion, Galos and his blood relatives made a plan
First eliminate the Mountain King entrenched in the northeast, then spend some time consolidating the rule over the entire wilderness, assimilate the spoils of war, then officially declare his kingship, proclaim it to the world.
At this moment, the psychic network maintains its connection.
The Ignas Dragon Group is discussing the specific strategy to defeat the Mountain King.
"The Mountain King’s territory is completely located within the steep mountains of the Northeast Region."
The voice of Iron Dragon Solrog sounded as calm as ever, saying: "There the mountains are dense, ravines crisscross, the terrain is steep with hardly any flat land or easy pathways, it is the most rugged and harsh environment in the entire Sel Wilderness."
"In such terrain, mass gathering of troops for an all-out assault is inefficient."
Red Dragon Samantha immediately responded, her thoughts always direct and filled with destructive intent: "Then simply don’t bring a corps!"
She placed herself in Galos’s perspective, her tone passionately said: "If I had Galos’s powerful force, I would surely head over alone, using Dragon Breath to turn those giants hiding in rock crevices along with their nests to ashes."
"Legends are not my match, to kill a group of giants, do I still need a corps?"
Iron Dragon Gordon rarely aligned with Samantha on a matter, agreeing: "Samantha is right, I also lean towards this idea."
Galos did not immediately respond, quietly pondering.
At this moment, Iron Dragon Solrog said to the two slightly radical blood relatives: "You two are always prone to getting complacent after victories, don’t forget how our Ignas Dragon Group rose from insignificance, gradually developing to this day."
