A Dragon against the Whole World

Galos was not a stubborn and xenophobic dragon; he did not reject cooperation with intelligent races.

As long as such cooperation brought him substantial benefits and did not harm his absolute authority and the tribe’s independence, he was willing to choose a path of win-win development.

For instance, if the Blue Dragon Leader had not been so stubborn and arrogant back then, and was willing to sit down for negotiations, he might have been able to coexist peacefully with the Dominican Dragon Group, sharing the wilderness; furthermore, he had also maintained a decades-long peaceful state with the Mountain King and Fungus King.

Unfortunately, before this, few were willing to talk about win-win with him.

Meanwhile, upon hearing Galos’ response, far in the Lothern Royal Court, Alina couldn’t help but smile.

Indeed, this King of Molten Iron possessed foresight and rational thinking far beyond that of an ordinary evil dragon.

It’s truly his fortune that Gordon has such a relative with both wisdom and power.

After some thought, Alina said, "So, Lord Galos, when do you plan to officially proclaim yourself king?"

Galos narrowed his eyes slightly, a sharp glint flashing in his Dragon Eyes.

He said calmly and firmly, "Matters of kingship should not be rushed."

"Once we have integrated the Northeast Region and the southern areas of the wilderness, eliminating all discordant and rebellious voices, and truly bring the entire Sel Wilderness under control, the title will naturally become well-deserved, a natural outcome."

"By then, the term Molten Iron Tribe can also be replaced with a more fitting name."

At these words, Iron Dragon Solrog within the mental network was stirred, an indescribable excitement surging within him.

From a clan occupying a small corner to today’s dominating Molten Iron Tribe, in the future, it’s set to become a truly significant Giant Dragon Realm.

Decades of trials and tribulations, decades of frost and snow sharpened them.

All these years, he has unwaveringly followed Galos’ steps, witnessing the power expanding like a snowball, drawing ever closer to the grand dream in his heart of building a powerful, orderly, and respected Dragon Empire together.

He feels increasingly grateful for having made such a correct choice back then.

Alina’s voice also carried a trace of a smile.

She said, "Emperor Ignas...please allow me to address you in advance this way."

"When you formally establish a kingdom in Sel Wilderness, the Lotheren Kingdom will be the first to stand up and offer the sincerest congratulations and most formal diplomatic recognition, making this grand occasion even more splendid."

King of Sel Wilderness, Emperor Ignas...

Galos silently repeated it in his mind, chuckling quietly.

It sounds quite nice.

Achieving a legendary status by a hundred is hard, but ’Founding a kingdom by a hundred, becoming a Dragon Emperor’, this is similarly an extraordinary feat.

Its rarity might even surpass a hundred-year legendary, a glorious achievement that can be etched into the Dragon’s Legacy and passed on to descendants.

If a dragon wants to establish and maintain a kingdom, it must have at least Legendary Tier strength as deterrence.

Moreover, mere powerful individual strength is far from sufficient; one must be able to maneuver strategically, demonstrating wisdom and charm to gain wide recognition.

Otherwise.

The newly established Giant Dragon Realm is likely to face collective apprehension and attacks from surrounding countries, ultimately like a flash in the pan.

Such negative examples are not uncommon in the Dragon’s Legacy.

Among Galos’ deepest goals is to challenge, even overpower the world with the strength of one dragon.

But he knows well that before achieving that distant goal, he needs more to proceed steadily, step by step, accumulating and developing soundly, laying the most solid foundation.

As time passes, Galos and Alina gradually reach consensus.

In this invisible mental link, a cooperation ready to change the patterns of Sel Wilderness and surrounding areas, initially sets its course.

Occupying Sel Wilderness, Molten Iron Tribe previously regarded as a monster horde.

Soon, it is set to enter the sight of various countries in a new posture, becoming impossible to ignore.

Crystal Princess then politely exits the mental network.

Red Dragon Samantha immediately growls with excitement: "Now that we’ve made the decision, what are we waiting for?"

"Can we immediately begin action, and start by completely eliminating the King of Hill Giants who occupies the northeast? My claws are already hungry and thirsty, yearning to tear those giants apart."

Iron Dragon Solrog calmly adds, "The Mountain King and his Giant Tribe have occupied the Northeast Region of the wilderness for decades."

"They have always held their mountain territory with no strong desire for external expansion."

"This behavior is abnormal, like having some plan of their own; if we are to handle it, I believe it needs to be quick."

Finally, their attention turns to the Red Iron Dragon.

Galos thinks briefly before slowly saying, "Our current goal is to unify the wilderness; the previous peace has come to an end."

One mountain cannot contain two tigers.

The remaining Mountain King should exit the stage.
