Chapter 745: Chapter 428: Turmoil and Debate

After settling the Red Iron Dragon, Ovis did not pause for a moment and winged straight toward the Dragon Breath Holy Hall.

Before truly reaching the mountaintop platform where the Holy Temple is located, he could hear the commotion from a distance, mingled with the low growls and discussions of the Dragon Race, sounding quite unusual.

Looking down, he could clearly see:

Built along the mountainside. Surrounding the imposing Dragon Breath Holy Hall, a quantity far exceeding the usual of various Metal Dragons had already gathered.

And in front of the temple’s gate inscribed with ancient texts, two radiant golden figures were particularly conspicuous, surrounded by many curious or concerned kin.

It was Alberto and Nasha.

At this moment, they were literally rolling around in the open space in front of the solemn Dragon Breath Holy Hall, showing no decorum of Golden Dragons.

"That shameless Bronze Dragon Siano ambushed us!"

"I was this close, just a little bit more and I’d be dead! My scales were electrocuted to charcoal!"

"We are just young Golden Dragons who have only recently come of age! How could a Legendary go after us?"

"Silver Dragon King Your Majesty, where are you? Please come and bring us justice! Boo hoo... Do you know how much and how deep the shadow will be left in our young hearts by being attacked by a Legendary Giant Dragon deliberately?"

"......."

Such disregard for image is indeed rare in the Dragon Domain, where dignity and manners are valued.

The number of giant dragons gathering around to watch was increasing, and the chatter became more and more chaotic.

"You two, if you have business, go inside the Holy Temple and talk about it properly; making a scene here is disgraceful!"

A Giant Dragon Elder, startled and emerged, sternly scolded, his voice authoritative.

"Making a scene? We are stating facts! We are voicing injustice."

Nasha retorted without fear, her golden Dragon Eyes full of grievance and indignation.

"Is it that, in the Dragon Breath Holy Hall, victims are now not allowed to speak? Do we not even have the right to seek protection and justice?"

Alberto chimed in, similarly putting on an air of righteous indignation and feeling aggrieved.

The Giant Dragon Elder who had just begun to reprimand instantly had his face turned even darker, his dragon whiskers trembling slightly with anger.

He had an impulse to directly knock these two noisy Golden Dragons unconscious and take them away, but the numerous gazes around him prevented him from acting recklessly.

Under the watchful eyes, bullying the small with the big would indeed damage his reputation and prestige as an Elder.

At this moment of slight standstill and chaos, Old Golden Dragon Ovis broke through the clouds and steadily landed in front of the Holy Temple.

"Silence."

His voice was not particularly loud, yet it made Alberto and Nasha, who had been making a scene, stop their actions and close their mouths obediently.

"You two, calm down."

"The elders are just and wise, and will find out the truth and give you a resolution."

Ovis first admonished his offspring with a sentence, then turned his gaze to the Elder with an unhappy expression, nodding lightly, his tone shifted to steady, "Please open the Holy Temple, we shall detail this event inside."

Next, the Old Golden Dragon, along with other elders who arrived upon hearing the news, entered the solemn and dignified Dragon Breath Holy Hall.

Then, he reported the complete course of events, including Siano’s ambush, Galos’s forced breakthrough and counterattack, and the details of Alberto and other dragons being knocked unconscious.

In fact, the Metal Dragon Elders were already somewhat aware of the situation from Alberto and Nasha’s exaggerated narrative.

Due to these two young Golden Dragons’ historically unreliable image, they maintained a half-believing, half-skeptical attitude without fully accepting it.

Only at this moment, after Ovis’s personal confirmation and detailed supplementation, did the Giant Dragon Elders truly take this matter seriously, realizing its severity.

After the report, the Old Golden Dragon scanned the gathered elders and said solemnly, "Ladies and gentlemen, please ponder."

"When a Legendary Giant Dragon, in a vile ambush manner, targets a guest visiting the Dragon Domain, who has not initiated any trouble, in an endless murderous attempt."

"Does this young one not have the right to rise up and resist for survival?"

Upon hearing this, the elders reacted differently, the dragon’s eyes shimmering with various lights.

"Siano’s action was excessively aggressive, contrary to honor, he deserves death! Galos Ignas is within the normal scope of self-defense, not only should his responsibility not be pursued, but in fact, Siano’s direct kin should compensate for their recklessness and evil deeds, and for the loss and fright caused to Galos!"

A Golden Dragon Elder was the first to speak firmly, his stance clear.

He had long been discontented with the numerous extreme actions of the cleansing faction.

"Demanding compensation might further exacerbate conflicts, maybe overly so. In my view, it is enough to clearly determine that Galos is not required to bear subsequent responsibilities for this matter."

The graceful and slender Silver Dragon Elder gently expressed his opinion with a mild and clear voice.

The majority of the metal dragon elders present internally leaned towards the belief that Galos was not at fault in this matter.

However, there were also a few elders with inherent prejudices and vigilance against the Evil Dragon Bloodline, proposing different opinions.

"Even if there are reasons, the means of retaliation... were they not too brutal? Moreover, the Red Iron Dragon Bloodline itself, after all, is an unstable factor. In my opinion, at least some punishment should be imposed as a deterrent."

"Such as enforcing a period of seal or imposing a considerable fine."

An Elder perched beside a stone pillar, his body covered in reddish-copper scales, spoke gruffly.
