Chapter 375 Coronation (I)
"Breaking news! The coronation ceremony will begin in thirty-seven days!"
"Your Majesty will be crowned as the emperor soon!"
"The chief minister issued a statement that the Kingdom of Burning Embers has all the conditions to be upgraded to an empire!"
"Marshal Doro unconditionally supports His Majesty Cassius!"
Such voices spread all over Anzeta, whether it was the city that the Kingdom of Burning Embers had already controlled or the newly conquered area.
And in the vast continent of Feanso, people in the midst of disputes and wars also learned such news-in the Anzeta Great Wasteland in the far north, a country ruled by a red dragon destroyed the thousand-year-old Northern United Kingdom and established a new kingdom.
And the red dragon was named Cassius, known as the King of Burning Embers, the Purgatory Scourge, and the Dragon Prince. Legend has it that it is the biological heir of Tiamat and is born with the power of legends.
Although this news was surprising, it was not enough to attract people's attention.
The Great Wasteland of Anzeta is a remote and remote place after all, blocked by the rolling Anstica Mountains. It is closed and blocked, and there is almost no additional communication with other areas on the Feanso continent.
Most people only vaguely know that there seem to be some countries on the other side of the mountain, in that cold wasteland.
That's all, it has little to do with them.
But then, a new rumor spread: Osedro, the ancient silver dragon who had blocked several world-class disasters and was honored as the "Silver Wings", went to the Anzeta Wasteland to fight with the "King of Burning Embers".
It is said that in that "Double Dragon War", the two powerful dragons fought for several days, from day to night, until the entire Okagra Wasteland was turned into scorched earth.
And the battle ended with the silver dragon falling from the sky.
It is said that Osedro fled in a panic, was seriously injured, and hibernated in the dragon's nest. It may take nearly a hundred years to recover.
The silver dragons of the Melward clan did not speak out. They just blocked all visitors and refused to reveal any news. The reaction of the silver dragons more strongly proved the news - Osedro was really defeated!
It was not until then that people on the continent were shocked.
That was the famous "Silver Wing" Osedro! He was praised as the chosen one of Bahamut and the guardian of the world's balance!
As a result, all forces began to pay close attention to the mysterious "Red Dragon Kingdom" in the north and listed it as a potential ally or enemy.
The three kingdoms of Cassander, Thrace, and Seleucid, which were in the quagmire of war and were fiercely competing for the heritage of the Holy Fadlan Empire, kept a close eye on it.
A red dragon that could defeat Osedro would be a help to them no matter which side they supported, and even enough to reverse the situation of the war.
Among the three kingdoms, the Thracian Kingdom was particularly hostile to the "King of Burning Embers" - this was a geopolitical and historical necessity.
They occupied the northern part of the Holy Fadlan Empire, and the Great Wasteland of Anzeta was regarded as their safe rear.
But now the entire north has been occupied. Once the uncontrolled Kingdom of Burning Embers invades from the south, they will face a dangerous situation of being attacked from both sides.
But while guarding against the enemy from the north, the Thracian Kingdom had to try its best to stabilize the Kingdom of Burning Embers, because they were not ready for deployment and would face great risks at any time.
While all forces were busy with this news, another rumor came from the north and spread rapidly throughout the continent.
——The King of Burning Embers is about to be crowned.
This red dragon will become the real Emperor of Anzeta and the supreme ruler here.
"Empire" refers to the monarch of a powerful country that rules a vast area, and the Great Wasteland of Anzeta obviously cannot satisfy his appetite. The ambition of the red dragon has been revealed.
And this coronation ceremony has become the focus of attention of the entire continent.
As the invitations from the Burning Kingdom were sent out in large numbers, envoys from various countries and forces hurried to the north, either by teleportation, flying in the sky, or driving carriages.
The Anzeta Corridor, which had always been deserted, suddenly became lively, and even envoys from hostile countries attacked each other.
The remote area of the Anzeta Great Wasteland became one of the focuses of attention of the entire Feansuo Continent for the first time - and all this was due to the appearance of the red dragon.
The city of Anzeta was no longer enough to meet the needs of the Burning Kingdom. They needed a wider area to hold a ceremony that would attract the attention of the world.
As for why they didn't choose the Iron Dragon Wing Palace?
There were too many secrets hidden there.
The coronation ceremony would be held on the Doyle Plain - located in the center of the Anzeta Great Wasteland, it was also the confluence of several rivers and was known as the "gift of the goddess of ice and snow".
There were several large cities on the plain, almost including all the core areas of the former Principality of Bosk.
The construction teams of the kingdom worked day and night to build various buildings needed for the coronation ceremony. Stones and logs were transported to the site by the strong frost giant slaves.
Mages, druids and other spellcasters also cast various spells such as stone wall and wood making to assist.
However, after a month, a large-scale altar appeared on the plain.
The roads here were also built very well, and even some railway tracks were laid.
In fact, this is also paving the way for a new city. Rump believes that cities such as Northwind Castle and Stratford Castle are not enough to serve as the future capital of Anzeta.
The Kingdom of Burning Embers, or the future empire, needs a flatter, larger city that can accommodate more industries and populations, and a more advantageous location, and make it the absolute center of politics, economy and even culture in the Great Wasteland of Anzeta.
And this city under construction is the beginning of everything.
It will continue to expand, encompassing several surrounding cities, and grow into a huge industrial city.
This altar of the coronation ceremony and the new city to be built are called Istalia, which means "the place of eternal rule" or "the immortal city" in Dragon Language.
On the Doyle Plain, the kingdom's dependents are still busy. The tall frost giant slaves with collars around their necks are bent by the heavy logs, but they are still walking laboriously under the whip of the supervisor.
Rump stood on the top of the hill with a staff in his hand, looking at the altar that was about to be built in the distance.
"Your Majesty."
"Your great blueprint is gradually becoming a reality."
The ogre's lips trembled, he murmured to himself, his eyes filled with excited tears.
"Hoo--"
The bitter north wind whistled past, drowning out the ogre's panting and covering up the wailing of the frost giant slaves in the distance. (End of this chapter)
