Chapter 254 - 179: Welcome to the Black Dragon Empire!

But, just for a blink of an eye!

"Father, you must be kidding." The tremble in the third prince’s voice was faint, and well hidden. The emperor didn’t notice.

"My third son, do you think it was a mistake for me to want your second brother to become emperor?" The emperor lifted his head abruptly and asked the third prince.

"Your Majesty’s decision must surely be right. The second brother is far above me in both talent and magnanimity. Currently, I have completely understood my own abilities, I just hope that in the future I’ll be able to assist the second brother as much as I can," replied the third prince respectfully.

"Ha! It’s really good that you think this way! With both of you brothers in the future, the unification of the mainland by the White Dragon Empire will soon happen!" The emperor was very pleased, and the gaze he cast at the third prince was even more affectionate.

The third prince looked up at the gaze of the emperor. It was the gaze that he had always longed for, but now, it was unbearably dazzling!

"Alright, if you are busy, leave first. I know you can’t stay still. Go," ordered the Emperor, waving his hand and lowering his head to continue eating. The third prince bowed and backed away, murmuring, "I will take my leave now. Enjoy your meal, father."

"Um, go on."

When the third prince left the study, his back was fully drenched with sweat! He was desperate to escape right away but forcefully suppressed this impulse. His steps remained smooth and unhurried. When he returned to his private chamber, his entire body was soaked through, his clothes stuck to his skin as if he had just been fished out of a water tank.

After the third prince left, the emperor silently looked at the tightly closed study door. After a long time, he sighed heavily and dumped all the food from his plate into the garbage can.

He raised his hand, the Fighting Aura bursting forth.

The entire wooden garbage can along with everything inside it was incinerated into ashes.

The Grand Tournament of the Seven Kingdoms actually had more than seven countries participating, and there are more than seven countries in this world. According to last year’s latest statistics, excluding Dragon Island in the Outer Sea, there are a total of forty-six large and small countries on this world. However, among these forty-six countries, the remaining thirty-nine countries exist subservient to the Seven Major Nations.

These seven major nations are the Holy Light Empire with the White Dragon as the Guardian Dragon; the Shadow Empire with the Black Dragon as the Guardian; the Dwarves Empire with the Iron Dragon as the Guardian; the Tranquil Forest with the Green Dragon as the Guardian; the Five Lakes Empire with the Blue Dragon as the Guardian; the Red Flame Empire with the Red Dragon as the Guardian; and the Fertile Plains Federation with the Yellow Dragon as the Guardian.

Compared to these original country names, people prefer another name for them.

White Dragon Empire; Black Dragon Empire.

Using dragons to distinguish the names of countries, this has become a habit across the continent.

Among these seven major nations, the Dwarves Empire is a permanently neutral country. The dwarves are only interested in minerals and metals. Although the courage of the dwarves is unparalleled in the world, they prefer to use gold to purchase what they hope to obtain. In fact, the dwarves are expanding their territory by more than ten times by buying land with gold.

The Tranquil Forest is a kingdom rich in forests, but it’s not well-liked by the elves. Instead, the Tranquil Forest is, surprisingly, an ally of the Black Dragon Empire. It is rumored that the Black Dragon Empire is conducting secret experiments here, but the truth of this is unknown.

The Five Lakes Empire has the largest inland lake area on the continent, making it the main freshwater fish production area. Although they have never declared their allegiance, in theory, they lean towards the Black Dragon Empire.

The Blazing Flame Empire is an old ally of the White Dragon Empire. According to their motto, fire and light cannot be separated. Relying on the Red Dragon’s natural destructive power, the Black Dragon Empire has rarely been able to gain an upper hand on the battlefield. However, the natural restraint of the water-based Blue Dragon has caused the Red Flame Empire plenty of headaches.

The Fertile Plains Federation is a federation of thirteen provinces. They have no emperor, only a council. They have not declared neutrality, but they’ve also never engaged in any conflicts. People are used to calling the Fertile Plains Federation the Yellow Dragon Empire, as the federation’s largest country used to be the Yellow Dragon Empire in the past. Although the Yellow Dragon is a Ground Dragon, no powerful nation has ever thought of invading them. Being the only country whose Guardian Dragon is a Ground Dragon, the Yellow Dragon Empire has special ways to defend their homeland.

The Shadow Empire is an enemy that everyone knows. Since its establishment, the Shadow Empire, also known as the Black Dragon Empire, has shown great expansionist desires. They constantly wage wars, occupy territories, and plunder wealth, stopping at nothing to achieve victory.

As the enemy of the Shadow Empire, the Holy Light Empire is the major contender against the Shadow Empire in the age of turmoil. The contradiction between light and shadow is fully embodied in their Guardian Dragons.

The strength of the seven major nations is not because of their emperors, but completely due to their Guardian Dragons.

The Guardian Dragons of the Seven Major Nations are known as the Seven Pureblood Dragons.

The White Dragon possesses the strongest energy penetration ability in the world. The Fighting Aura techniques performed by its Dragon Knights can cause more damage. Moreover, this penetration ability can accumulate! This makes the White Dragon Knights more and more courageous in their one-to-one fights!

The Black Dragon has precisely the opposite ability. The skin of the Black Dragon can absorb part of the opponent’s Fighting Aura. That is to say, the same technique, when bombed on the Black Dragon, will be greatly weakened.
