The dragon race on Carra planet had been retreating step by step for too long.
While the dragon race held the advantage in most of the prime material worlds, due to the pressure applied by deities and saints on Carra planet, it had always been under pressure from the elf armies.
Inch by inch, the land that once belonged to the dragons became elf territory.
There are true dragons in the dragon race who also love forest environments, but the elf forests created by elf magic are strategic lands belonging to the elves.
Even if the elf armies have all left, the true dragons would eventually burn them down, turning them to ashes, and then create new forests of their own.
Thus.
When they understood the will of the Lord of the Dragon Court and knew that the lost territories of Carra planet were about to be reclaimed, one after another, the true dragons, who had felt humiliated for a long time, had eyes as if burning with flames, capable of destroying all obstacles.
True dragons lifted their heads from different positions.
Pairs of dragon eyes reflected the silver giant dragon standing tall under the deep night sky.
The majestic and grand posture of the Time Dragon was deeply imprinted in every true dragon's mind.
At the same time.
Garon, standing high on the mountaintop, surveyed his surroundings, his gaze sweeping over the true dragons that gathered.
Unlike the many legendary giant dragons seen in the Dragon Court semi-plane, these true dragons who settled on Carra planet and fought bloodily for the dragon race were mostly between adult and ancient stages. There were few true dragons whose strength reached or exceeded the legendary level.
When Garon went to the Dragon Court semi-plane.
If he wished, he could have directed some legendary giant dragons to support Carra planet. Many giants would have responded to his call, but he did not do so. The rest of the prime material worlds were also in the midst of war, needing legendary dragons as their backbone.
The dragon race on Carra planet was at a disadvantage compared to the elf army's strength.
However, with him there, it was enough to turn the tide.
The silver giant dragon slightly bowed his head, using platinum-like eyes to gaze down at the countless true dragons and their kin, slowly speaking.
"In this long-lasting war, the Carra dragons are at a disadvantage."
"Land taken, territories occupied, kin killed."
"But, you need not feel guilty for this situation."
"In the face of strong enemies, the fearless courage you have shown is where the true glory and dignity of our dragon race lie."
Under the admiring gaze of the true dragons, Garon's deep voice paused.
He continued, "Now, I have returned."
"With me here, I will lead you to reclaim all the lost territories, to annihilate the elves who have occupied our homeland, leaving none behind!"
"With elf blood, we shall pay tribute to our fallen true dragons!"
Saying this, the silent true dragons could no longer suppress their excited emotions.
"Kill those vermin!"
"With the enemy's bones, forge the glory of our dragon race!"
The roars of true dragons echoed continuously throughout the mountain range. The overlapping roars passed through layers of space, even reaching the elf positions in the twilight plains.
Within the forest protected by the high elf's mystic barrier.
Many elf soldiers, as well as symbiotic species like chimeras, treants, giant eagles, and others associated with the elves, showed nervous and worried expressions upon hearing these chilling roars filled with killing intent.
Some elves turned their heads to look at the ancient transport trees.
The majestic and grand transport ancient trees emitted waves of spatial power, and magic ships continued to arrive from the elf kingdom, carrying a large number of elf soldiers.
However, this support was not enough to alleviate their tension.
War is a refinement of blood and fire, and not all warriors can thrive in the crucible of war.
Unlike dragons, who are naturally warlike and completely disregard life and death when enraged, many elves are essentially afraid of bloodshed and death. The unavoidable outbreak of war does not mean all elves wish to fight the dragons.
More so, it was due to the gods' commands that they had to go to war.
Within the elf pantheon, there are two powerful deities and many other elven gods, showing this is a race with strong faith in their own gods. Therefore, after the elf supreme god was ambushed, as ordinary elves and followers, they naturally had to respond, regardless of whether they truly wished to.
"Great Life Goddess, your faithful followers pray to you, seeking your response."
A legendary elf responsible for this area prayed to the deity.
Just ordinary soldiers' support cannot stop that terrifying Lord of the Dragon Court.
The return of the Lord of the Dragon Court, capturing the saint Solornol who was a medium divine power, without any high-level forces that can match him, now Carra planet, regardless of how much territory the elf race occupies, is but rootless duckweed.
For Carra planet, because the Dragon God previously paid a lot of attention here.
So after becoming enemies, the elves considered this one of the more important prime material worlds for the dragon race and invested a lot of military force here.
The gods fighting in the outer planes spared a bit of their attention to the progress on Carra planet.
The Life Goddess, entangled with the Metal Dragon God for a long time, received her followers' prayers.
This powerful deity, resisting the fierce attacks of the Metal Dragon God, issued orders to her divine messengers with some of her energy.
At the same time, the divine messengers guarding the elf kingdom, upon receiving the Life Goddess's orders, equipped themselves with divine artifacts and headed towards the portal to Carra planet.
However, being distracted while fighting such a powerful entity as the Metal Dragon God comes at a certain cost.
As the Life Goddess was distracted, the Metal Dragon God brushed aside her Life Sword, leaving several huge wounds on her divine body with his dragon claws.
These wounds rapidly healed under the power of transcendental divine force, but still affected the Life Goddess.
Taking advantage of the situation, the Metal Dragon God pressed on, putting the Life Goddess in a somewhat embarrassing situation.
But embarrassment aside, a single mistake was not enough to put a powerful deity in decline, and the battle between the Life Goddess and the Metal Dragon God remained at a stalemate.
The battle between gods seemed to never end.
At this time, the godly battle that had continued for several years without pause in a plane invisible to mortals went on, while in the prime material world of Carra planet, under the leadership of the demi-god Time Dragon, the true dragon army was marching magnificently towards the elf positions.
True dragons vibrated their wings, and the sound of their wingbeats gathered together like never-ending rolling thunder.
The sky-darkening true dragon army soared in the sky.
Meanwhile, on the ground, columns of dust rose several yards high, the solid earth trembled non-stop, pebbles bounced everywhere, and unknown beasts trampled them into dust.
Amid the spreading dust, true dragon kin raced under the dragons' wings, following the dragons' footsteps.
Tall ogres, ferocious wyverns, sturdy thunder beasts, and fanged winter wolves... countless monsters formed a dark tide, with low roars echoing across the land.
The dark tide surged forward, carrying an unstoppable momentum to devour everything in its path. Dragons and elves, both long-lived species, but the dragons are much fewer in number compared to the elves.
However, each adult dragon is almost equivalent to a lord, commanding their own kin and forces, with Dragon Gods even having deity-level beings like gnoll gods serving under them.
The true dragons, along with their numerous kin armies, are no weaker than the armies of the elves.
Had it not been for divine saints personally intervening in conquests, with so many true dragons on Carra planet, it would have been impossible for them to be at a disadvantage in the war against the elves.
At this time, Carra planet could be said to have the highest number of true dragons in any single prime material world.
Since the kin move much slower compared to the true dragons, and the dragons in the sky did not fly at full speed, having been suppressed for over five years, the dragons of Carra planet were not in a rush.
Additionally.
The great momentum of the gathering dragon army could not be hidden from the elves.
This dark tide-like army, slowly approaching with an aura of slaughter, instead exerted a greater pressure on the elves. Many elves who saw the dragon army through magic were visibly tense, their beautiful faces so heavy as if they could drip water.
Especially at the very front of all the true dragons, the silver giant dragon with six horns towering, as if wearing a crown.
Garon, with his aura contained, did not emit tangible might, but still exerted an immense invisible pressure on the elves.
This pressure, along with his and the true dragon army's approach, gradually intensified.
Garon looked into the distance, his super-vision passing through vast distances, focusing on the natural forest in the twilight plains.
In the forest guarded by a green galaxy-like mystic barrier, Garon could see the tense expressions on the faces of the elves.
Meanwhile, the elves observed by him, whether ordinary elves or legendary powerhouses, all trembled, their hair standing on end, and a sense of indescribable fear emerged in their hearts as if being targeted by a deadly predator in the dark.
After a brief glance, Garon withdrew his gaze.
Turning his head, in Garon's vision, a long, sinuous serpent dragon soared up, approaching him.
The dark green scales, a body full of spikes, and ferocious eyes belonged to Garon's loyal follower, the Cold Forest Serpent Dragon, who had been with him for a long time.
"Lord! I knew you would return safely and take me to hunt elves again."
The Cold Forest Serpent Dragon, leaping out from among the true dragons, showed an excited expression, following behind Garon, and said in a deep, resonant voice.
"Oh?"
"When did you come to Carra planet?"
Garon had noticed the presence of the Cold Forest Serpent Dragon but hadn't actively sought it out.
"Right after I awoke, I came here."
Uribis answered.
Garon looked him over a few times, nodding slightly, "Good, your strength has improved a lot during my absence."
The Cold Forest Serpent Dragon, now over seventy meters long with a creature level of thirty-two, was even stronger than the newly ancient gold, silver, and red dragons.
Six years apart, its strength had soared dramatically.
"Heh, it's mainly thanks to your grace, Lord."
Uribis grinned, showing a goofy smile.
Then, he reported to Garon the reasons for his explosive growth in strength.
This was thanks to the large number of legendary-level high Illusionary Elves Garon had fed the Cold Forest Serpent Dragon.
Moreover, Uribis originally resided on the Noa continent, but the elves there had been annihilated during the dragon race's first attack, abandoned by the elf race, and not a battlefield between elves and dragons.
Therefore, after awakening, Uribis followed Garon's footsteps to Carra planet.
It naturally preyed on elves, and knowing that Garon had encountered an attack from elf deities, sparking a war, this fierce and powerful serpent dragon was at the forefront on Carra planet, establishing a remarkable record of service.
Its strength surged after consuming many high Illusionary Elves, and as the war progressed and it consumed more elves, Uribis's strength continued to grow.
Thus, it reached a creature level of thirty-two.
Considering its age as a serpent dragon, it was nothing short of a monstrous genius within its species.
Of course, this was inseparable from Garon's feeding.
Even before Uribis became legendary, it had the chance to eat high elves like Moonlight Knights, and later, Garon fed it all the captured Illusionary Elves.
For the elves, Uribis posed a great threat.
It was too cruel, often liking to skin and dissect legendary elves in front of the elf army, gutting them, playing until bored before swallowing them whole.
Such behavior made many elves unwilling to face Uribis, chilling them with its cruelty.
Divine saints had previously wanted to kill Uribis, this giant serpent dragon.
However, many attempts were intercepted by Yuna, and after the death of the Sea Elf Saint, Solornol avoided the southern battle zone, making Uribis one of the pillars of the dragon race in this area, resisting the elf army's attacks.
It was specially targeted by many powerful elves over level thirty, repeatedly ambushed and severely wounded, but due to the serpent dragon's primitive and strong vitality, it narrowly survived death multiple times, and its strength advanced by leaps and bounds.
"You've done well, not disgracing me."
Garon lifted his dragon claw, patting the ferocious dragon head that Uribis brought close, saying.
Uribis was his follower, a fact now known by nearly all dragons on Carra planet.
Many true dragons previously looked down on serpent dragons, but now, due to Uribis's performance, they recognized the strength of serpent dragons.
As teammates, serpent dragons are quite reassuring.
Some inherently evil chromatic dragons even admired Uribis's ferocity.
This guy had conquered many true dragons' hearts and gained recognition.
Receiving Garon's praise, Uribis's long and sinuous body spun a circle in the air, and after the excitement passed, Uribis seriously said to Garon, "I am your sharpest fang, eager to tear apart your enemies."
"Fighting alongside you this time, I will lead the charge."
"I, Uribis, will fight for your glory!"
