Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 18 Anima
"You, do you want to receive my protection and become my dependents?"

Kalon gently pressed down the gold-eating beast that was pretending to be dead and squatted on the ground, then roared loudly, spread his wide wings to show the intimidation of the dragon, and looked down coldly at the group of howling dog-headed people below.

Most of these dog-headed men are between 90 centimeters tall and thin, with lizard-like bodies and brown-red skin. Their heads are more like crocodiles in the water. These dog-headed men are dressed in tattered clothes, and some even have only a piece of cloth hanging between their hips.

These dog-headed men might as well be called lizardmen, lizardmen with thin dragon blood. Only the constant barking sound from their mouths is more in line with their identity as dog-headed men.

The problem is that the dog's barking is in Dragon language, but to Karon's ears it sounds like Indian English.

He needs a certain level of reading comprehension and listening skills to understand what the dog-headed men are trying to express from their rich body language.

“Yes... yes!” Several particularly strong kobolds came out and knelt in front of Karon. The kobold in the front row excitedly climbed up and hugged Karon’s long and sharp dragon claws.

The increasingly excited barking of the dog sounded in Charon's ears: "Noble and great true dragon, your humble admirer has been looking for your traces!"

"Your scales, more beautiful than the moonlight, will harden our skins. Your bones, stronger than armor, will support our skulls. Your great dragon heart will ignite our magic. We are the servants of the dragon. We live for the dragon. Serving you is our only wish."

The ogres who were still huddled together knelt down one after another following their leader's words, and praised the cold-eyed red dragon.

Although he felt that the flattery was a bit awkward and noisy, Kallon still enjoyed listening to the words of the kobold.

No wonder many dragons like to accept kobolds, a race with weak combat power, as their followers. Just based on his ability to flatter others, Kalon feels that these kobolds can occupy a position under his command.

Although the fighting power of the ogres is very weak, this race still has its merits.

Gnolls are aggressive and hardworking. They are good at making traps and mining. They also attach great importance to the growth of the Gnoll tribe, so Gnolls will obey the will of their rulers, especially when their ruler is a dragon.

Karon raised his claws, and the huge dragon claws completely covered the head of the kobold leader, and gently pressed it to indicate his agreement.
"I allow you to surrender. You will be protected by me and can walk and hunt freely in the dragon's territory. You will offer me everything."

"Thank you, great true dragon, you will always be our master!" The kobold leader kissed Caron's paw excitedly.
Completely unconcerned that the giant dragon in front of him could easily crush its head, the gnolls behind him also cheered.

With the dragon's protection, they will no longer have to live in dark caves, they can also live freely under the sun, have sufficient food, and the tribe will grow rapidly.

Karon didn't care about these, his consciousness was attracted by the fluctuation of the runes in his mind.

A faint, barely detectable force intermittently connected the strange runes in the dragon's mind and the kobold kneeling at its feet.

This is not the so-called power of faith, Kalon's inheritance told him, but this power is similar to the thoughts of intelligent creatures.

The rune hidden in the vortex can obviously use the power of the thoughts of intelligent creatures as food. The pure energy that is swallowed and exhaled flows around the runes, slowly strengthening the power of the vortex.

The most important thing is that this absorption of the power of the mind is not a one-time thing, but a continuous one.

A strange smile appeared on Kallon's dragon face. He felt that he was one step closer to mastering this power.

Although we are still far from fully understanding it, at least we now have a general idea of how to use it.

If I work hard enough, perhaps when I enter the next age of slumber, the vortex will be able to accumulate enough energy and I will be further strengthened.

The Kobold Warlock stood up and saw the smile on the dragon's face. He could not help but pluck up the courage to ask Kalon: "Great master, majestic true dragon, can you give us the gold-eating beast under your feet? We can use this beast to better serve you."

The red beast was silent. He had no way to tame the gold-eating beast. It was a good idea to give the beast to the kobolds to explore the mines for them. After all, it was working for him. But he wanted the kobolds to understand that his kindness and power came from him and were not influenced by others.

He suddenly opened his mouth and roared loudly: "How dare you covet the dragon's possessions? Ha, how interesting and bold." A hot and condensed dragon breath spurted out along with the sound of dragon language, burning the kobold warlock who was making demands on the dragon in front of him.

The unquenchable dragon's breath burned fiercely on the gnolls, who rolled and wailed in the flames. The remaining gnolls knelt down in panic and begged for the dragon's forgiveness amid the dragon's wailing.

The kobold leader and the remaining kobold warlocks banged their heads on the ground like pounding garlic, not even daring to make a sound like a bark.

"If you want me to forgive you, then please me. Go back and open the treasury of your tribe and offer all the treasures to me. I will come with my dragons and wait for your offerings."

The evil red dragon made up its mind, grabbed the gold-eating beast that was pretending to be dead and motionless at its feet, flapped its wings and flew away, gradually flying away, leaving behind the kobold tribe still kneeling at its feet.

Originally, after listening to the words of the blue dragon leader, Carlit, Karon planned to temporarily maintain the current territory of the dragon group. After all, the dragon group is not very powerful now.

In recent years, the dragon herd has steadily expanded its territory, which is about 150 miles in radius with the mountains as the center. The area covered by the forest is only half of the area covered by the grassland.

Some people may think that the land occupied by the dragons is a little too small, but taking Kyoto in Kalon's previous life as an example, Kyoto, including the suburbs, is 160 kilometers long from east to west and 176 kilometers long from north to south.

That is to say, the land currently occupied by the dragon group is about half the size of Kyoto, and the entire country is only about 3,500 miles in radius.

In fact, the current territory is more than enough to support the young dragons, Akzi and Kalit.

But with a new direction, Charon decided to change his strategy. In the following period of time, the dragons will gradually sweep away all intelligent creatures in the territory.

Then, when the dragons have passed their next dormant period, he, with his strength increased again, will lead the dragons on a journey of conquest.

But the most important thing at the moment is that Charon needs to become the actual leader of the dragon group, and no longer just the most powerful playmate in the eyes of these young dragons who obey him verbally. He also needs to set some rules for the future development of the dragon group from now on while everything is not yet formed.

The strong and powerful wings blew up the wind, and Kalon, who had made a slightly crazy decision in his heart, flew over the grassland. He was now going back to the dragon's nest to gather the young dragons patrolling outside.

·····
The high, powerful and long dragon roar shook the entire canyon dragon nest. Layers of echoes spread from the dragon nest along with the dragon language. The red dragon stood on the top of the mountain with his wings spread and his chest puffed up and roaring hard. This was his call to the dragon group and also the leader's call to the young dragons. He stopped and waited for the young dragons' response.

The black dragon Rossani, who was fishing in the river not far from the forest, was the first to hear Karon's call. Rossani swallowed the crucian carp that was playing in his claws into his stomach in one gulp, surfaced, then flapped his wings and roared, then flew into the sky.

Antajna and the white dragon brothers who were stealing food in the orchard also responded and flew towards the dragon's nest. Then came the blue dragon Doss and the red dragon Clenaya. These young dragons were all heading towards the dragon's nest.

Logically, Akzi could ignore Kalon's call because he was the family's dragon and his status and authority were only above Kalon. However, out of curiosity, he still rushed to the dragon's nest.

When he landed on the top of the cliff of Dragon's Nest, he found that all the dragons except Carlit were there.

The skinny little cubs in his eyes before have grown up, and their bodies, averaging four or five meters long, have begun to show the power of giant dragons, forming the prototype of a powerful dragon family.

Moreover, the family's cohesion far exceeds that of other dragon groups, and the family's future leader will also far surpass that of other dragon groups.

Before the curious Akizi could ask, the strong young dragon leader Kalon said with a smile: "Next is the hunting time for the dragon group. Lord Akizi, you should come too."

Akzi looked at Kalon in confusion, then looked at the motionless volcanic cave, and then nodded, "Okay!"
