"Oh my God, Emir Maciej was also eaten!"
"No, it can't be"
"He is the noble Kapkulu, the personal guard of the Great Sultan!"
"God of Fire, the rumors are true! It is a soul-devouring dragon!"
"That, that is the apostle sent by the Lord of Fire to punish the sinners. He is here to punish us!"
Seeing that Maciej was devoured by the dragon flame without making any decent struggle, the fire giants on the city wall screamed in surprise and were completely frightened.
The brave and warlike Emil was "eaten", the Flame Dragon Cavalry Corps was wiped out before it even came into contact with the enemy, and the magic crossbow was ineffective - everything that happened here was far beyond the imagination of the fire giants.
The fire giants are indeed a fanatical and warlike race. They can be brave and fearless on the battlefield, but they are not fools who are eager to die.
Faced with such a situation, almost all fire giants made the same choice -
逃!
Get out of here now!
Leave this place occupied by the extremely terrifying "Soul-Eating Dragon".
"Come on!"
"That dragon is the embodiment of sin!"
"To the City of Brass! We must live to report all this to the Great Sultan!"
The fire giants threw away the silk robes that covered their entire bodies and discarded the bloodstained brass armor.
They turned their lower bodies into grey smoke and ashes and flew desperately, and many of them had already begun to cast teleportation spells.
As the masters of this city, there are only more than 500 fire giants in the Black Iron City.
But there are nearly 40,000 slaves from various races and dimensions in the city, almost all of whom were looted by the fire giants.
The fire lizards, fire dwarves, fire children and even humans and giant slaves in the city all raised their heads, and the hot iron chains on their bodies swung.
"That is."
"Oh, gods! It's actually the Fire Giant!"
"He, they're all running away! The dragon is devouring the djinn!"
In the past, these slaves worked day and night under the fire whip of the fire giant, and were beaten with bruises and burns all over their bodies every day.
But facing these elemental creatures with powerful physiques and superb spellcasting abilities, they are no match at all.
Over time, some slaves even came to regard these fire giants as gods that could not be disobeyed, and imprinted the mark of submission on their hearts.
However, at this moment, their worldview collapsed.
"It turns out these giants are not invincible!"
"They'll run away too!"
"They will die too!"
Those fire giants who used to be so arrogant and domineering were now fleeing in all directions like lambs being chased by wolves, looking extremely miserable.
There is no trace of their dignity and pride as the "superior race of fire elements".
The huge red dragon climbed up to the top of the city wall, stepped on the tall spire made of brass, spread its broad wings, raised its head and let out a long roar.
"Roar--"
"Efreet! You will pay for your arrogance!"
"You think you are the masters of the Fire Elemental Plane and the darlings of flames. Your recklessness over a long period of time has made you forget how to respect a giant dragon!"
Cassius roared out the improvised lines fiercely and opened his bloody mouth impatiently.
"boom--"
A sound like tearing cloth was heard, and raging flames gushed out of its mouth, then expanded rapidly, occupying most of the sky in an instant.
"Fire, Flame God!"
"What is that?" "No—"
Those fire giants were flying in panic, but they still couldn't escape the extremely hot flames behind them.
These giants who had burned down other people's homes countless times also truly experienced the feeling of being burned, and met their end wrapped in dragon flames.
Cassius flapped his wings hard, and a scorching hurricane roared in, forming a terrible wing storm that swept around.
There was a sea of fire raging in the sky.
The houses and buildings on the ground were overturned by this terrible hurricane, and the slaves hid in the corners in fear.
Rocks, gravel, ash, and metal debris were in the air.
The fire giants floating in the air struggled and howled. They tried their best but were still dragged back by the powerful force.
"What a powerful force!"
"This hurricane..."
"No, no, I'm a fire giant!"
The corners of the red dragon's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a ferocious smile, and then it opened its huge mouth and spurted blood.
The raging sea of fire once again devoured the fire giants. A black hole-like vortex of magic appeared in his mouth, sucking those precious elemental essences into his body.
"This trip to the Fire Elemental Plane was not in vain. I have accumulated 70% to 80% of the energy needed for the next sleep."
Cassius licked his hot lips and said this.
His purpose is far more than just plundering energy.
Just a few dozen days ago, "Prince of Holy Flame" Zaman Rul, with the help of the secret passages secretly dug by the fire dwarves, led the elemental apostles to raid the City of Brass and liberated hundreds of thousands of slaves in the city. The great sultan was shocked and furious, and sent almost all his forces to suppress the rebellion.
The Great Sultan prayed to the "Prince of Evil Fire" Imister and received the full support of this evil fire elemental lord.
However, Zaman Rul was not afraid. He attacked the fire giants' cities again and again, freeing the long-oppressed slaves from their heavy chains.
The vast majority of enslaved fire dwarves, fire lizards, fire children, elemental apostles, and humans were ignited by the never-extinguished holy fire and joined the army of this kind-hearted Prince of Fire Element. Even the golden dragons, seraph servants, and star messengers in heaven were infected by his justice and indomitable spirit, and came to help with the tacit consent of the gods in the good camp.
The sacred flame illuminates the Elemental Plane of Fire.
The kingdom of the efreeti seems to be crumbling.
But Cassius knew that under the manipulation of the powerful Lord of Fire, Casus, this war between good and evil would never end, and neither Zaman nor Imister would be victorious - just like his never-extinguished flame.
This is a good opportunity.
Under normal circumstances, his current strength is far inferior to that of the Fire Giant Sultan who is suspected to have divine-like characteristics.
However, under the threat of Prince of Holy Flame, the Great Sultan would never dare to act rashly, and would not even dare to leave the City of Brass easily.
Cassius chose to enter the Elemental Plane of Fire at this critical juncture of the Burning War, precisely because he wanted to get a piece of the pie in this chaotic kingdom of fire giants after the most massive turmoil caused by the Holy Flame Prince's uprising.
"Ha ha……"
"Two emirs are dead, hundreds of fire giants have disappeared, and the great sultan of the City of Brass is probably getting restless..."
"In that case, let the storm come even harder!"
Cassius narrowed his eyes slightly, and fire flickered in his golden pupils.
Thinking of this, the red dragon stepped lightly on the city wall and soared into the air. He looked down at the devastated city, slowly flapped his huge wings, and let out a whistle that spread throughout the Black Iron City.
"Roar--"
Suddenly, the attention of all the hard-working slaves in the city was drawn to it, including fire dwarves, fire lizards, and even orcs.
Those pairs of eyes, some bright with fire, some as black as coal balls, and some cloudy and yellow, all looked up at the giant dragon in the sky, the firelight reflected in their pupils of different colors.
"I, the Emperor of the Burning Empire - Cassius, hereby solemnly declare!"
"Submit to the Empire, and I will grant you permanent free citizenship!" (End of this chapter)
