The red dragon flew along the aerial road made of flames and smoke, flew across the venue under the focus of hundreds of thousands of eyes, and finally landed on the platform with a loud bang.

"boom!"

The ground seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, causing violent vibrations, dust all over the sky, and gravel flying everywhere.

Even though the rock platform was fifty meters high, it still looked exceptionally small next to the huge body of the red dragon.

Only when you truly stand in front of this giant dragon can you feel your own insignificance and the dragon's majesty. The oppressive feeling brought by this behemoth is enough to suffocate.

It was the first time for many people to see His Majesty at such a close distance. Their legs were shaking and some even fainted.

"Kay, Cassius is above"

"Is this the Emperor? He is so majestic."

Their brains have already imagined the crushing that the dragon might cause to them, and they are often completely defenseless against such crushing. If there are players here, they should be able to see that this is the so-called "giant phobia".

However, compared to the hundreds of thousands of spectators on the scene, those people's fainting was just a small episode.

Cassius stood on the high platform, looking down at the crowd below with his pale golden eyes, scanning the faces that were all very different but revealing the same enthusiasm.

Whether they were humans, tieflings, hobgoblins, half-dragons or ogres, there was no fear on their faces, but instead they were filled with fanaticism.

well.

This is what he wants.

After looking around, the red dragon slowly opened his mouth. A heavy voice like thunder surged out of his throat and spread across the plain.

"I believe you already know who the enemy of the Empire is this time -

demon.

They come from the Abyss, and are called the destroyer of the world, the gathering of evil and chaos, and the monster that brings fear.
Hearing this - are you scared?"

"No!"

"We will defeat the devil!"

"Drive those termites back into the abyss!"

The people of the empire were immediately outraged. They cursed the devil loudly, and some even waved flags that read "Kill the devil."

Adroville felt the people's anger and found it more and more incredible. They were really not afraid!
Cassius on the high platform nodded slightly, deliberately raised his voice, and continued: "But - they picked the wrong opponent!

They chose to be the enemy of the Burning Empire. They attacked cities, assassinated officials, and attempted to destroy the order of the empire.

But - this is wishful thinking!
Now, I stand here, in the name of the Burning Emperor, to launch a holy revenge on the demons!

I declare that the Burning Empire declares war on the Abyss. Every citizen of the empire has the responsibility to kill every demon that appears before them!

The Empire will hold nothing back and fight to the bitter end. We will slay demons in the wilderness, we will slay demons in the mountains, and we will slay demons in the skies."

Cassius's impassioned words echoed across the plains and even across the entire Anzeta Wasteland.

Under the Red Dragon's almost divine charisma, everyone present was infected by his speech and fell into extreme hatred against the devil.

Even the silver dragon Adrovel who was lurking in the crowd felt his heart surging and his blood boiling.

"If demons bring fear to the world, then the Empire will bring fear to demons!"

Finally, Cassius slowly stood up, spread his extremely broad wings, revealed his sharp teeth, and a ferocious smile appeared on the dragon's face.

"Crush them!"

"For the Burning Empire!"

Doro stood on top of a steam tank and shouted first, followed by the hobgoblin infantry.

"For the Burning Empire!"

"For His Majesty Cassius!"

Soon, cheers became one and swept across the venue like a wave. No matter if they were civilians, soldiers or officials, they all had only one identity at this moment - citizens of the empire.

"Long live His Majesty Cassius!"

"For the Burning Emperor!"

"loyalty!"

"Kill those demons!"

There was a roar of applause in the meeting hall. Hundreds of thousands of people in the empire were fanatical and raised their arms, shouting, all wanting to prove their loyalty in front of His Majesty.

The flying dragon hovering in the sky stretched its neck and roared with all its might. The dragon beast on the ground slammed the ground rhythmically, spewing out clouds of hot smoke and making dull roars.

The white dragon Tinija also flew into the air, fanning away several wyverns, occupying the position closest to the red dragon, and let out an excited cry.

"Ouch~~"

In the distance, portals of different colors opened, and legions from all over the empire poured out.

"For the great Burning Empire!" "Praise the Soul Devouring Dragon!"

"Hiss, hiss, hoho! (Fire Tribe language, translated as: For the Empire)"

With ashes and sparks flying all over the sky, a legion of elemental creatures such as fire lizards, fire dragons, fire dwarves, etc. poured out of the portal.

"Children of Fire liberated by His Majesty Cassius! It's time to repay His Majesty!"

Let the demons have a taste of real fire!"

"For the Burning Empire!"

The governor of the Empire's Fire Element Colony, Marquis Serkan Wood, rode on the back of a multi-headed fire lizard, holding high a flaming spear.

Then he placed his fist on his heart and performed a standard "loyalty salute" to the red dragon on the platform.

"Child of the Night."

Following the lich's whisper, dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, casting huge shadows on the ground.

A dark, black hole-like vortex appeared in the shadows and floated above the ground - it was the portal to the Underdark.

Soon after, huge skeletons of green-footed dragon snakes emerged, followed by a huge army of undead, and then an underground army consisting of gray dwarves, deep gnomes, drow elves, etc.

Marquis Hart, the general of the Empire's Underdark Colony, was riding on the back of a skeleton dragon.

He raised the blood-stained sword that had killed countless people, and a cruel smile flashed in his dark eyes.

"For His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Kill all those demons!"

Ingrid, the former honorary bishop of the Church of Amaunator and now an imperial priest, waved her scepter and drew the shape of a door in the air.

"The gate to another world!"

Another gate opened in mid-air, this time leading to the outer plane full of wild nature - the Beastiality Garden.

"Roar!"

"Ow!"

"The Beast Legion! Fight for the Empire!"

The former Lizardman Chieftain, now the Governor of the Imperial Zoo Expeditionary Force, Marquis Ake Longfang, raised his spear high.

Koda Black Scale Shaman rode on the back of a polar bear and wielded a dead wood scepter.

Thousands of Lizardmen soldiers followed closely behind, and hundreds of Imperial Druids controlled various wild beasts, bringing a surging tide of beasts.

Arrow eagles, griffins, rhinos, terror beasts, raptor dragons, violent tigers, petrified lizards and other wild beasts poured out of the portal, and were frightened by the dragon's might, and all bowed in the direction of the red dragon.

Amid the enthusiastic crowd, Adrovelle stared in amazement as portals opened one after another and various creatures appeared in the venue.

What is he here for?

Does a country like this still need to seek help from Melvold?

Suddenly, Jenny Heath next to her pointed to the sky, frowned and said, "Look there!"

Another portal opened, and huge, ferocious blue dragons flew out, led by a smaller young female blue dragon - that was the blue dragon of the Faria family.

Jennysis glanced at the blue dragon in the sky, then stared at the red dragon on the platform for a long time, gritted her teeth and said, "No, we can't lose even if we go! Myhrvold can't lose to them!"

Adrowell asked in confusion, "What?"

"Shh-"

Jennysis jumped up, and in front of everyone's surprised gazes, she transformed into a graceful silver dragon, flapped her wings, and flew towards Cassius.

"This"

"Ok."

Adrovel shook his head helplessly, and had to transform into a huge silver dragon, flapping his shiny wings and soaring into the sky.

Under his command, ten more silver dragons rose from the crowd and headed for the platform.

Amid the audience's exclamations, the originally empty military training ground became crowded with fire lizards, skeleton dragon snakes, ferocious tigers, blue dragons and even silver dragons.

All beings, alive or dead, good or evil, running or flying, appeared in the venue, obeying the same leader and coming to participate in the same war.

Over the years, the armies and forces accumulated by the empire in various dimensions have all gathered here, and are about to participate in the battle against the demons.

Cassius stood on the platform, overlooking the crowded venue.

He had been preparing for this battle for so long that when he first entered this world, he had been fighting a fierce battle with the demon who tried to control his destiny.

The red dragon swept his eyes over the various creatures, revealed a ferocious smile, and muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear:

"Jezalslak.
Are you ready——to face my revenge?" (End of this chapter)
