Chapter 384 - Moving On
-----
The vast skies of the Draconia Continent were clear as always, the beautiful sun shone brightly atop the skies, as it illuminated the vast greenery and beauty of the whole scenario.
Within this vast skies, several red-colored creatures flew through it, looking for their next destiny.
Which was this destiny?
These creatures were made of red flesh and had several eyes across their bodies. Some had bat-like wings, although others resembled meatballs, and some had the shape of little squids…
They flew as fast as they could, expanding the view for their main body to see!
Noah glanced through these clones at the vast scenario past the forest, his army of undead had already crossed it and were waiting his orders on standby, although a part of it had begun to expand to the east and west.
He glanced from the distance, there was a vast city of medieval appearance, vast walls expanded around them, as several smaller villages rested around them, where dragons lived in peace.
"The Kingdom of Windias…"
Noah looked at the Kingdom he was going to soon take over. This was the Kingdom of Windias, one of the three Kingdoms harboring powerful Heroes he desired to fight and devour to gain enough strength to be as prepared as possible before any fight against Dragon Gods begin!
However, to the west and east, very far away, several kilometers, in fact, almost a hundred of kilometers apart from one another, there were two other Kingdoms… the Kingdom of Aquaias and the Kingdom of Gaias!
These three Kingdoms used to be a big Dragon Empire, the Dragon Empire of Anima. However, they broke apart into three Kingdoms when a war between the royal family happened, three different Princes couldn't stand at each other's existence and decided to build their own Kingdoms by taking part of the funds and flying away with their followers.
The Empire of Anima therefore became the Kingdom of Windias, while the other two Princes funded the Kingdom of Aquaias and Gaias.
Their names were not just because and had deep meanings behind them. The Kingdom of Windias was within a large area where enormous peaks erected into the skies, where tornadoes and flashing vortexes of air emerged, leading to the skies, where many flying fortresses known as Dragon Ships came filled with resources to sell by merchants every year, due to these spaces in the sky that facilitated the traveling across the entire continent, this Kingdom was flourishing despite its separation almost a thousand years ago.
Noah glanced at the wondrous scene unfold before his eyes, as he saw gargantuan ships in the shape of enormous dragons made of magical metals and wood fly through the skies through magical means, Dragons were able to fly but mortals were not strong enough to fly across continents with ease, even less while carrying immense quantities of materials, so they designed such flying ships to move tremendous quantities of items and food to sell and exchange.
There was a gigantic vortex of winds that helped the ships move incredibly fast across the continent, as if it were a natural road that formed every a few months, three times per year…
Meanwhile, the Kingdom of Aquaias was near a gigantic lake named the Aquamarine Sea, a beautiful and crystalline lake so big it was mistaken as a sea by ancient dragons and called like that.
The Kingdom of Aquaias prosper in these lands by the intense fishing of resources from this area, food and materials are constantly harvested from these areas. Enormous draconic beasts roam this "sea" and are constantly hunted for cultivation materials and food, crafting materials and more.
The depths of the lakes are also mined by Water and Swamp Dragons, which makes most of the population of the Kingdom, and several magical materials are extracted as a daily basis.
Something interesting to note is that this enormous Lake is overflowing with essence like every large area in this world, due to this, monsters, and materials naturally re emerge after less than a few years, effectively never running out of them as long as they keep themselves at bay… Due to this, the Aquaias Kingdom has become a strong seller of food and cultivation, crafting, and alchemy materials across this entire part of the continent!
And lastly, the Kingdom of Gaias is the place where gigantic and colorful mountains rest, each of these mountains contains tremendous quantities of resources which the Kingdom had settled in here to mine constantly. They are big exporters of minerals of all types and elements across this piece of the continent. Much like the Dark Sea, these Magical Mountains are filled with essence and regenerate ores and other materials within them as time goes by, effectively becoming a big point of resources that can be get near-endlessly.
Because the separation between Kingdoms happened several years ago, these three Kingdoms had signed a peace treaty that will also reinforce their transactions and trades of resources…
Since then, an apparent era of peace has flourished within the three Kingdoms, as Noah hovered over the Windias Kingdom, his other clones had already reached the other three.
An evil they never imagined could there was slowly approaching them!
However, what Noah did not know was that another and deeper evil originating from this world itself was already working beneath these three Kingdoms, many of them, in fact, and each one was slowly infecting and seeping their venomous influence into them with every year that had passed.
Secret cultists had surged, and manipulation of the royal families had led to some tragedies already, while discrimination against lesser dragons grows by the second and tragedies hit the royal family as betrayals happen more commonly than in the last 200 years.
This major evil force within these Kingdoms would never give in their sources of entertainment and prayers to some random invader… even less as these three deadly evils were already aware of something strange even before the gods above…
Noah was completely unaware of the turmoil he was about to enter, which might even end up making him seem like the hero at the end…
