Chapter 467 Treaty
The negotiations ended just like that.

The Fire Giant Empire and the Burning Cinders Empire signed an "Imperial Treaty of Friendship and Exchange".

The two countries' respective monarchs, the Great Sultan of the Fire Giants and the Burning Emperor Cassius, swore an oath to the essence of the Elemental Plane of Fire and signed a contract on behalf of their respective countries.

1. The Kingdom of the Fire Giants provides twenty-five wishes to the Burning Empire every year for at least ten years.

2. The Fire Giant Kingdom will pay million gold nars to the Burning Empire in the form of elemental ore to purchase a large amount of arms.

3. The Kingdom of the Fire Giants surrenders control of the Raw Iron City and the Dark Iron City, and ends its invasion of the Brass Fortress.

The Great Sultan angrily caused his projection to explode, creating a crater one hundred meters in diameter at the scene, while his real body continued to recuperate in his charcoal palace.

The fire giant Pasha Ismail was dejected. He led his soldiers back to the City of Brass.

As usual for defeated Pashas, ​​what awaits him will be the punishment of the Sultan and the challenge of the ambitious fire giant warriors.

Although the efreet officials strictly controlled speech, news of the battle spread quickly, causing great panic among the efreet.

In just a few days, the news of the "Battle in the Scorching Wasteland" had spread throughout the Fire Giant Kingdom and even reached the Holy Flame Rebellion.

According to the rumor, the Red Dragon Emperor from the material plane bit off Ismail Pasha's head in one bite, and Ismail was not able to resurrect and escape until the Sultan arrived in person.

After unknown negotiations and at an unknown cost, the two sides finally ceased fighting - there were even rumors that the Sultan had to pay a hundred wishes a year to get rid of the plague god.

And Cassius' name also spread throughout the inner planes.

Many residents of the planes of fire, wind, water, earth, positive energy, and negative energy knew the name of this dragon, and especially remembered the terrifying name of "Soul-Devouring Dragon".

On the outskirts of the Black Iron City, there is a scorching wasteland.

As a former battlefield, the earth is riddled with holes. Scalding magma flows in those deep cracks and pits, and bursts of flames erupt from time to time.

"Roar--"

The red dragon roared towards the sky, suddenly spread its wings and stretched out its left claw.

Flames symbolizing the essence of the plane surged from all around, forming a complex magic circle in his palm.

[Summon Elemental Giant]

A vortex of flames appeared in the air, and a huge monster over ten meters tall crawled out of it. He growled and knelt obediently in front of Cassius.

Its body is made of flames and lava, and every inch of it contains violent fire elemental energy, enough to turn mortal cities into ashes and ruins.

【Fire Elemental Giant】

Challenge Level: 16
"not bad."

Cassius looked at the troll in the distance and nodded with satisfaction. He waved his claws casually and the troll disappeared.

He lowered his head and stared at the red flame in his claws.

This is the power that represents an extremely small portion of the authority of the Elemental Plane of Fire.

After several days of experimentation, he has become able to master the power that comes from Ismail Pasha, or more precisely, the power from the Great Sultan of the Fire Giants.

He had even sensed the essence of this power—the divine-like power that affected the elemental plane.

The Elemental Lords do not rule over their respective planes and all the elements therein. The authority they obtain is only superficial, not true divine power, but the difference is only a stone's throw away.

The Great Sultan's plan is probably to bring the entire Elemental Plane of Fire under the rule of the Kingdom of the Fire Giants, so that his "authority" can rise to the level of the entire plane.

It actually has some similarities with Cassius's domain.

And those six pashas were undoubtedly the carriers of the Great Sultan's power, and were carefully cultivated sacrifices for his ascension to the gods. He himself did not have the chance to use them, as Cassius ate one of them first.

But even if Cassius did not "eat" the Pasha, the powerful God of Fire would not allow anyone to covet his authority.

In order to balance the forces, the Burning War will continue for a long time. There will be no real winner in this game. If there is, it can only be an outsider like Cassius who fishes in troubled waters and reaps the benefits.

Cassius grinned, feeling the power close to the essence of the fire element filling his body.

"What a pleasant surprise! After absorbing this power, I can be considered an elemental noble."

"really interesting."

The flames in his claws kept changing, sometimes turning into flying birds, sometimes into swimming fish, and sometimes into a giant dragon flapping its wings.

After absorbing this power, Cassius' control over fire has reached an extremely terrifying level.

The red dragon itself has a fire element core and is often regarded as a semi-elemental creature by scholars. After obtaining the power of the fire giant Pasha, Cassius can be called a "native of the fire elemental plane" to some extent.

Elemental Command

As an elementalist, you can attempt to control an elemental creature of the same type as yourself. The target is completely controlled by you unless it succeeds on a Will save.

Cassius's mind moved, and a light flashed in his light golden pupils.

Suddenly, the firebirds in the orange sky were controlled by him and formed into various formations.

The fire children in the magma jumped out one by one and stood in a neat row, as if the red dragon was their natural king.

"Tsk tsk, what a great place! If I could have a safe area, I would like to sleep here."

"It's a pity that I signed a contract with the Sultan to leave the Fire Elemental Plane within ten days."

"In that case, let's meet the Holy Flame Prince before we leave."

Cassius thought so.

Then the red dragon flapped its wings, raising a hurricane carrying ashes and sparks across the scorching wasteland, and its huge body soared into the air.

"Roar--"

With another long roar, Cassius flapped his wings again, and the dragon body turned into a red afterimage, cutting through the orange sky and flying into the distance.

The imperial soldiers and free people on the city wall looked at the figure that streaked across the sky like a meteor and cried out in surprise.

"Look!"

"It's His Majesty Cassius!"

"Is that really the case? Your Majesty, he has left the Fire Elemental Plane!"

"Great Red Dragon"

Feelings of loss and reluctance permeated the city walls.

Many soldiers and free people knelt down in the direction where the red dragon left, mumbling something as if they were praying for something.

In the Black Iron City, Serkan, who was still directing the repair of the city defenses, raised his head, looked into the distance, and pounded his chest with his fist, performing a standard "loyalty" salute.

His eyes were full of determination and emotion.

"His Majesty Cassius"

"I will live up to your high expectations and become a qualified colonial governor. I will build a solid position for the empire in the Fire Elemental Plane and welcome your next visit."

"By then, you will become the master of the Elemental Plane of Fire."
