Chapter 138 - Who is the real kalon

Antagena began her daily patrol; in this plane, she became the actual ruler, which was also the tempering Kalon gave to the Dragon clan, and every talented True Dragon would learn how to become a qualified ruler under Kalon's arrangement.

Antagena's overall view was almost non-existent in Kalon's opinion, but the innate cunning of the Green Dragon species was very suitable for learning to be a ruler.

All small Pixie tribes in Green Field Forest had already moved with their Tree of Life to the world of Ekania, supplementing the Dragon Clans Territory with population and labor.

Most of the large tribes had also moved, but the Tree of Life left behind by these large Elf tribes could not pass through the Plane Teleportation Gate and could only remain in their original station.

For this, Kalon allocated thousands of Kobold Soldiers to Antagena; these Kobolds thrived immensely in a stable and prosperous living environment, and the total number of Kobolds had increased by more than ten times in recent years.

However, the task of these Kobold Soldiers was to cooperate with Antagena in managing the Elf Warriors who were able to remain in the Green Field Forest plane.

This group of Elf Warriors were some of the slaves left over from the three annihilated Elf tribes, perfectly suited to be exploited as labor.

Although the Dragon Clans Territory had issued a decree on the distribution of labor, very few women and wives applied for male Elves as husbands and household labor.

Because there were almost no single women or wives in the Dragon Clans Territory; they would immediately have many suitors from the males within the Dragon Clan Territory, and in this era, even women were quite excellent and diligent laborers.

Only the Female Elves were all taken to the Dragon Clans Territory for settlement, contributing to the construction of the Dragon Territory.

Antagena flew over more than twenty tribes that needed to be inspected, conducting routine patrols. Along the way, Kobold Soldiers and Elves bowed to the Green Dragon in the sky.

Antagena greatly enjoyed this feeling, the power and status, and Green Field Forest was also a very suitable living environment for Green Dragons; she could freely transform the entire forest.

But even so, Antagena still yearned to return to the Dragons Mountains, to her own Dragon Nest.

Roar!

Antagena let out a True Dragon roar in the air, flying towards the high heavens, in the direction Kalon had mentioned to her: the floating island suspended high in the sky, descended from the Astral Plane into Green Field Forest.

She had ascertained the location of that floating island in the past few days, situated above the eastern sky of Green Field Forest, where it was perpetually enveloped by thick clouds, making it extremely difficult to discover.

If Antagena hadn't been diligently patrolling everywhere in the past few days to perform well in front of Kalon, she wouldn't have discovered the existence of this place.

On that floating island, there was a group of creatures similar to Wyvern, but these creatures had colorful scales and long whiskers that could be used for conscious communication.

Antagena thought that these creatures, possessing some intelligence, might be subdued and brought back to the Dragon Clan Territory to establish an Anti-Air Knight Legion for the Dragon Clan Territory.

Currently, the Dragon Clans Territory only had ground legions, but in the planning of the Dragon clans Conference, the future kingdom of the Dragon clan needed to develop comprehensively, and an Anti-Air Legion was not only a supplement to combat power but also an important source of intelligence information.

If there were a well-established Anti-Air Legion, at least in war, the Dragon Clan Territory's legions would have an absolute advantage in information.

Kalon's memory had deeply informed him of the importance of battlefield information.

Relying solely on those birds was not an effective way to communicate; those birds are now primarily used for the transmission of intelligence information for the Dragon Territory.

Goblin Glitter, the leader of the Goblin merchant group dispatched by the Giant True Dragon, kept flocks of ravens by his side, and every important commercial development decision would be approved through letters.

As for magical communication methods, those cost money and were only activated at extremely important and critical moments. For Goblins, their attitude towards spending money in such places was the same as that of the Giant True Dragon: you can have my life, but you want my money too.

Thinking of Goblins, Antagena remembered the Goblin inventor, the Goblin bang bang, who was highly valued by the Dragon clan. This fellow was tasked with perfecting and optimizing steam power cores and magic power cores, and in these two aspects, Goblin bang bang was currently at a loss.

However, in other aspects, this Goblin achieved remarkably smooth research results.

The Goblin bang bang not only successfully developed more rationally configured gunpowder but also created a weapon named 'Bang Bang Blast' by Goblin bang bang.

This fist-sized weapon would explode as long as its fuse was lit and thrown, although its power was truly weak in the eyes of the Giant True Dragon.

Goblin bang bang would use this weapon to blast fish by the Golden River every day, creating a rather noisy commotion that had been complained about by nearby villages many times.

But Antagena believed that this weapon could be utilized by the Anti-Air Knight Corps to great effect. It didn't need excessive power; just being able to disrupt the enemy army's formation would be enough.

It must be said that on these True Dragons, the talent for destruction and devastation is always exceptionally outstanding.

Goblin bang bang also used the merchant group's channels to purchase the Dwarven weapons, Dwarven firearms. The Goblin improved and optimized these Dwarven firearms, sacrificing other advantages in pursuit of ultimate power.

Now, just one shot can easily kill the largest giant elephant on the prairie. As Goblin bang bang put it, even weak Goblins will be able to establish merits for the Dragon clan on the battlefield in the future.

Although Kalon's expectation for Goblin bang bang was to be an inventive scientist, Goblin bang bang's specialization had clearly deviated; Goblins always unintentionally steer their inventions in another direction.

However, Kalon gladly accepted this; perhaps in the future, the Dragon Clan Territory's external wars could also begin with a wave of saturated firepower coverage, followed by the collective charge of heavy armored soldiers, which could greatly enrich tactics.

Antagena's mind conjured Kalon's past words, and she felt that if she could successfully subdue this group of creatures and establish an Anti-Air Legion for the Dragon Clan Territory, perhaps she could gain the True Dragon's forgiveness and not have to stay in Green Field Forest for a long time.

Antagena quietly broke through the thick clouds, following a Wyvern with cyan scales. The creature with cyan scales in front was only about six meters long, but it had four pairs of Batwings and its cries were like wailing bats, so Antagena named this creature Batwing Wyverns.

The Green Dragon trailed far behind this cyan Wyvern, having cast a stealth spell on herself. Under Kalon's influence, the True Dragons in the Dragon clan also began to actively explore the True Dragon's inherited knowledge, and the Green Dragon was one of the True Dragon s who achieved some results.

The thick clouds stretched for several miles, like a layer of soft cotton candy, and as they broke through the cloud barrier, an aerial floating island suddenly appeared before the Green Dragon's eyes.

A large floating island hung high in the sky, about several miles in circumference, surrounded by ten smaller islands, and some barely habitable island fragments also floated around.

Many waterfalls cascaded from the steep floating island, splashing misty water vapor in the sunlight.

Many Wyverns with various colored scales and soared and landed, flying back and forth in the aerial floating island, as if playing and frolicking with each other.

On the largest floating island, rugged hills occupied the center of the floating island. This mountain peak was full of weathered holes, and colorful Batwing Wyverns shuttled in and out of these holes.

Antagena cautiously peered out from the clouds, observing the situation of this group of Wyvern.

These Wyvern were not large, averaging around five or six meters. While the females were relatively larger, the males were more brightly colored and more aggressive.

Most of the holes in the central mountain of the large floating island were occupied by male Wyvern, and many male Wyvern were currently fighting to seize caves.

"It seems these Wyvern are not strong; I can directly subdue them," Antagena mused. At this time, the Green Dragon's body had also grown to over ten meters, and her increased strength greatly boosted her confidence.

Moreover, True Dragons naturally possess a bloodline suppression over flying creatures and beasts whose bloodline is incomparable to True Dragon. The Green Dragon then burst out of the clouds, spreading her wings with effort. The True Dragon's massive size, under the unleashed True Dragon's might, appeared exceptionally intimidating.

"Submit to me, you weak beasts! It is your honor to serve the Dragon clan!" Antagena flew towards the high mountain in the center of the largest floating island, fully releasing her True Dragon's might, which intimidated some Batwing Wyverns, causing them to panic and flee into their caves.

Antagena stood proudly on the mountaintop; her confidence in subduing this group of Wyvern had grown even more.

She roared loudly, attempting to intimidate the Wyvern with her power, and then tried to communicate.

But a slight tremor suddenly came from the mountain beneath her feet.

She looked down to see a massive Wyvern head trying to emerge from the widest cave in the mountain below.

This Wyvern's head resembled that of a Wyvern, but its mouth was like a duck's beak.

Its enormous head was covered in red, green, yellow, and black stripes, and deep blue, crown-like thick horns grew on its head.

Judging only from the exposed head, although this Wyvern's size was not yet comparable to Kalon's, it already exceeded Antagena's current size.

Antagena hesitated for only a moment, then flapped her wings and fled.

This massive Wyvern was clearly the leader of this group of Wyvern; even if Antagena could defeat it alone, if the group attacked together, Antagena would certainly not be able to retreat unharmed.

So, Antagena followed Kalon's teaching: 'Where there's life, there's hope.'

She directly gave up the idea of confronting the Wyvern group alone; she had a more perfect method—calling for other True Dragon.

Antagena exerted her speed to the extreme, leaving the furious roar of the Wyvern leader far behind.

In less than half a day, she had traversed almost half of Ekania World.

She passed through the plane teleportation gate guarded by True Dragon dependents and stepped back onto Ekania World.

Antagena flew towards Dragon Nest Mountains.

When she saw the increasingly vast and tall Dragon Nest Mountains from afar, she could already hear the songs coming from the peaks of the mountains.

The twilight glow under the setting sun also appeared sacred and ethereal amidst such songs.

"Through boundless forests, over endless long rivers, through graveyards burying countless warriors, ascend that sacred mountaintop,"

"The True Dragon's temple of heroes is located on the mountaintop; it is the resting place for loyal and brave souls; the fallen heroes find peace here!"

From the cloud-shrouded mountaintop, Antagena could see a sanctuary situated on one of the peaks amidst the mountains.

The originally blood-colored sanctuary gradually became imbued with a sacred glow, surrounded by many souls singing and dancing loudly.

As she drew closer, Antagena could also hear humming songs from the mountains, fields, and villages.

Some newborn dependents' cubs were roaring the True Dragon song loudly, then waving branches in their hands as weapons to fight each other.

Some young human children also stuck two branches into their hair on their foreheads, with long, thick vines tied to their bottoms, humming unintelligible songs along the country roads at dusk, playing and frolicking in groups.

At the foot of the mountain, lights and cooking smoke rose everywhere, and a lively yet quiet feeling enveloped Antagena's heart, causing the True Dragon's spirit to involuntarily calm down.

The Evil Dragon's will and interference roaring in the Green Dragon's bloodline also seemed to be influenced by this atmosphere, becoming unusually peaceful.

Antagena stopped on a mountaintop, silently observing this familiar scene.

This was the territory she liked; even having absolute power in Green Field Forest could not compare to this feeling.

It wasn't until night fell that Antagena spread her wings again and flew towards the mountaintop where the True Dragon often gathered.

The mountaintop was already brightly lit, with countless lit torches illuminating the entire peak.

The mountaintop had already been set up by the loyal dependents; at least it was no longer as crude as before.

Grand and ancient carved stone tables and chairs were neatly arranged; these were for those who came to pay respects to the True Dragon.

Every day, a True Dragon would be on duty here, so that if any important matters needed to be reported to the True Dragon, they wouldn't be unable to find the True Dragon.

There was also an exceptionally large stone table, which was a prop for the True Dragons to play games.

The World Forever, a popular puzzle game in the territory, first became popular among the True Dragon.

Antagena knew that no matter when she came here, she would be able to see the True Dragons of her family.

And most of the time, it was very lively here.

The True Dragon, busy with territorial affairs every day, would always gather here in the evening to communicate and entertain; this was a habit they had formed since childhood.

Today was no different.

Rosani was resting his entire head on the huge stone table, using the Mage Hand, a trick learned from Kalon, to play his card.

A majestic phantom emerged from the played card; it was a powerful Centaur Warrior, charging with a weapon.

"Battle is the value of a warrior's existence," the phantom of Chiron shouted the set slogan.

"This is unfair, when did you draw this golden quality card, Rosani, you must have cheated!

As the designer of the cards, I didn't abuse my power and relied entirely on my luck."

The Pixie Raven, sitting cross-legged on the huge stone table opposite, looked suspiciously at the chuckling Rosani.

Female Red Dragon Klenaya, resting her massive head on the table, her head many times larger than the Pixie, was intently watching the duel between the Pixie and the Black True Dragon.

Rosani's shameless voice rang out, "Kalon said, can a True Dragon's actions be called cheating? That's called being smart, hehe."

The Pixie Raven protested Rosani's statement with great dissatisfaction.

She shouted, "Alright, just you wait until I go back and print all the golden cards for myself, Rosani, wait to be defeated by me."

At another table, Dos and the Blue True Dragon Akzi, as well as Germott and Camid, two teams of True Dragon with matching scale colors, were playing poker.

Camid was lazily squinting his eyes; although his attitude was the most relaxed, the chips in front of him were the most.

Hmm, perhaps the saying "a foolish True Dragon has foolish luck" refers to this Camid.

The other three True Dragons all had stern faces; even these True Dragon, who were accustomed to trading wealth, tried to learn to control their excessive greed for treasure through this game, and they didn't really want their wealth to slip away from their claws.

But when Antagena's gaze turned towards Alfred and Alina, the True Dragon's body suddenly began to shake.

Antagena's body trembled, as if dominated by an extreme fear, a chill running from her tailbone straight to her head.

Her teeth chattered, and she stammered out a scream of extreme shock: "Ka-ka-ka-ka... Kalon!"

"You, you, you, you... how are you here?"

Antagena was absolutely certain that she had personally encountered Kalon in Green Field Forest and had seen Kalon enter the portal of that ruin, and he had not yet returned.

But the aura and all the characteristics of Kalon before her indicated that this Red Dragon was also the Kalon the Green Dragon knew, so a thought that made Antagena tremble with fear arose.

So, who exactly was the Kalon in front of her? Or, who exactly was the Kalon she encountered in Green Field Forest?

Who was real, and who was fake? Had Kalon been silently replaced by some terrifying entity without her knowing?

Alina, seeing this, couldn't help but laugh happily, "What nonsense are you talking about, Antagena, Kalon has always been with us!

He has never left since returning to Ekania."

Antagena felt her active dragon blood also grow cold with that sentence.

Then who was the Kalon she saw in Green Field Forest?

The other Kalon she had encountered, in her opinion, also seemed completely fine, the True Dragon she was familiar with.

Her confused mind was no longer sufficient to discern the logic and truth of the situation; she simply felt a deep sense of sorrow welling up from her heart.

Antagena was so shocked that she could no longer speak fluently, stuttering, "Then... then in Green Field Forest, I also, also..."

"Shh," Antagena saw Kalon slowly extend a claw and place it in front of Kalon's mouth, which slightly revealed long, thick fangs.

Kalon showed a strange smile and whispered to the shocked Antagena, "This is just a fun little experiment, Antagena, just consider it our little secret!"

"A fun little secret!"
