Chapter 329 Red and Silver (Part )
As the space fluctuated violently, several space portals appeared in the clouds behind Osedro.
"Elder, is that him?"
"Is that the evil dragon that ravaged the North?"
"We will protect the peace here! In the name of Myhrvold!"
Silver dragons emerged from the swirling clouds one after another, hovering behind the ancient silver dragon, and making uniform, majestic roars to cheer for the elder they respected.
Pairs of silver wings fluttered, casting sparkling light in the air.
There are also cloud giants and storm giants standing above the clouds, using their powerful spell-like abilities to control the climate changes around them, maintaining the area of howling cold winds, and preventing the invasion of the red dragon's scorching influence.
"Your Highness, the 'Dragon Prince', we, the Faria clan, have been ordered to come and help you!"
"Roar! The most shameless metal dragon!"
"Master, that silver dragon is so arrogant! We need to teach him a lesson!"
Behind the red dragon, thirteen ferocious blue dragons from the Faria clan, led by Christina, followed one after another, and the atavistic white dragon Tinija, whose size was comparable to that of the ancient white dragon, took off into the sky.
These five-colored evil dragons all raised their heads, opened their bloody mouths, and roared with great power. Their momentum was no weaker than that of the silver dragon opposite.
Behind these five-colored dragons, there were hundreds and thousands of flying dragons flapping their wings in a disorderly manner and making hoarse and mocking roars.
The red dragon and the silver dragon confronted each other in the air, and behind them were their respective clans and the areas they controlled.
This is no longer just a simple war between the Burning Kingdom and the United Kingdom of the North, but more like a miniature version of the "Dragonfall War" between metal dragons and five-colored dragons.
The two giant dragons standing at the top of the material world stared at each other from afar. There was only each other's figure in their eyes. Everything else seemed meaningless in a battle of this level and could only be regarded as dispensable foil and embellishment.
“Is this Osedro?”
"He didn't disappoint me. He's a tough enemy."
Cassius flapped his wings, and his light golden vertical pupils stared at the huge silver dragon.
【Silver Wings-Osedro】

This was the most powerful enemy he had ever faced.
This ancient silver dragon is more than thirty meters long, almost reaching the peak of the silver dragon race. Even in the field of melee combat, which is where red dragons excel, he probably won't be able to gain much advantage - not to mention magic.
If you look closely, you will find that almost every scale of this silver dragon is engraved with complex magic runes, forming hundreds of spells on the surface of its body.
This was carved and accumulated bit by bit by Oszerdro as a "spell hoarder" over thousands of years. This is a mental illness for ordinary dragons, but this ancient silver dragon enjoys it.
Its claws are covered with magic rings, and its wrists are covered with fine gold and secret silver bracelets.
There are sparkling gems dotted in the gaps between the scales on its silver back and abdomen. These are life-saving gems that protect the wearer's vital parts from fatal injuries.
The most eye-catching part is the silver dragon's chest.
A metal disc is fixed to its chest by a ribbon passing through its forelimbs. Twelve magic stones of different colors are inlaid on the edge of the disc, and the center is engraved with patterns of stars and nebulae - that is the holy emblem of Bahamut, the "Lord of the North Wind".
The phrase "armed to the teeth" is a particularly apt description for this ancient silver dragon.
Because he really did it.
A complex metal device called the "Dragon's Jaw" is worn in the mouth of the silver dragon. Several silver teeth with the "Sharp Teeth Technique" protrude out, and their tips flash with a light that can pierce through protective spells.
In front of this ancient silver dragon that was armed to the teeth and exuded heroic spirit, even Cassius, who had always been proud of his wealth, felt ashamed and deeply realized his poverty with only a few pieces of legendary equipment.
Above the clouds, Oszedro's smooth, bright, slab-like face was also full of solemnity.
"'Dragon Prince' Cassius"
He looked at the red dragon in the distance, complex magical patterns flashing in his mercury-like eyes, revealing a simple appreciation for the dragon's power.
——Even the silver dragon, the red dragon’s mortal enemy, had to admit that even in his long life of a thousand years, this red dragon could be ranked first.
The opponent's super-giant body, comparable to that of the ancient red dragon, is almost the same size as his. In fact, judging from its shape, the red dragon's muscular body is even stronger.
The red dragon's body exudes an unimaginable vitality, with four ferocious horns on its head spiraling upwards, and the dragon crystal on its chest contains terrifying energy. The faint blood pressure is like those of the ancestral dragons in the dragon race's heritage. However, it is a young dragon after all, and the red dragon seems to have only a few legendary equipment on its body, which also makes this ancient silver dragon feel an inexplicable sense of superiority, and the dragon's desire to compare wealth is satisfied at this moment.
He is a bit poor.
But that's not the point.
It was hard for Osedro to imagine that this was still a dragon in its youth or even younger stage, but the fact was right in front of him, and he could even feel the other's hot breath.
"The oracle of His Majesty Bahamut is correct. This is an alien dragon with unlimited potential."
"We must not let him fall into the arms of Tiamat!"
"Otherwise - it will be a complete disaster for all metal dragons and even all creatures in the material world that follow kindness and order!"
As the ancient silver dragon thought so, his eyes became more determined, and there seemed to be waves surging in those mercury-like eyes.
The loud rebuke came out of his mouth like thunder, making everyone present serious.
"A cruel and savage red dragon!"
"Fate has given you great power, but you don't cherish it."
"For your own selfish interests and ambitions, you have disrupted the millennium-old order between humans and dragons, destroyed the balance of the Prime Material Plane, and endangered the peace and stability of the entire Erezegai."
"Therefore, in the name of the Lord of the North Wind—"
However, his generous speech was interrupted by crisp applause, followed by words in a calm tone.
"well said."
"As expected of you, Lord Osedro, the famous 'Silver Wing'. Your hypocrisy is beyond my imagination."
Cassius grinned slightly, revealing a smile that seemed particularly hideous in people's eyes.
"So - who started this war?"
His tone became more and more passionate, and the "Trickster"'s extraordinary charisma that was enough to distort reality was fully revealed.
"Who is the one who shamelessly launched a surprise attack on the kingdom's caravan? Who sent tens of thousands of troops to roam the kingdom's territory, and called it the first line of defense?"
"Who was it that exploited the people, conscripted men, established military alliances, and started this large-scale war?"
"伱"
Under his repeated questioning, even Osedro was speechless and unable to answer, and the humans on the ground began to doubt their lives and even question the legitimacy of this war.
However, Cassius just exhaled a breath of hot sulfur and continued:
"Mr. Osedro, since you are unwilling to answer directly, let me answer this question for you. I am talking about the Northern United Kingdom that you support. More precisely, the Northern nobles headed by the Bosk family."
Osedro sneered and said disdainfully:
"What a quibble! If the North doesn't attack first, will you and your monster kingdom stop expanding? Are the weapons you create to destroy nature only for self-defense?"
However, it is a silver dragon that has lived for thousands of years. Whether it is the ability to deal with changes or the thickness of its skin, it is first-class strong.
Cassius couldn't help but laugh out loud. In this respect, this sanctimonious silver dragon was surprisingly similar to himself:
“Hahahaha, of course not. After all, there are still countless people in the North who are cruelly oppressed by the nobles. They are all waiting for the coming of the kingdom, waiting to regain their freedom and move towards a new and beautiful world.”
"Hmm, a new world?"
"Lies! Your so-called new world means endless smoke, corpses piled up in the wasteland, and bloody war?"
The silver dragon roared, and as his magical voice spread, images of countless Burning Kingdoms crushing the coalition forces and the ground riddled with holes appeared in everyone's mind.
"No, you're wrong."
Cassius shook his head slightly, and there seemed to be flames burning in his light golden pupils.
“That’s the price you have to pay for a new order.”
