Ashen Dragon-Chapter 1213 - 358

In the headquarters of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, Dolores and a group of senior officers of the Empire sat together, convening a collective combat meeting, and Christina, as an "expert" acquainted with the Red Dragon Sect, also participated in the meeting.

Dolores glanced around, sweeping over the faces of every Imperial officer present with a sharp gaze, crossing her hands over the table, and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone here is the pride of the Empire, warriors under the command of the great Emperor of Ashes. I believe you, like me, understand the critical importance of this war—this is the beginning of the Empire’s hegemony on the Fianso Continent, an indispensable step for realizing the great blueprint.

If we win, the Ashen Empire will gain the rich legacy of the Holy Fadlan, becoming the largest and strongest empire on this land, but if we lose...the world will submit under the shadow of Tiamat’s wings.

I believe you all know what to do in this final war against the Church of Dragon Worship."

George was the first to stand up, clenching his fist and placing it over his heart, speaking firmly and powerfully: "Offer our lives for the Empire! Offer our lives for His Majesty Cassius!"

With George’s lead, the Imperial officers stood up in unison, performing the "loyalty salute," chanting the slogans "For the Empire!" "For His Majesty Cassius!" in perfectly synchronized voices.

After everyone sat down, a herald from the south activated a magical crystal, showing the magical images provided by the Red Scale Conqueror scouts.

In that magical image, the once fertile Selyusi Great Plain has now become a scorched expanse of a thousand miles, filled with flowing magma, charred remains, and dense smoke permeating the surface.

The searing magma crisscrossed and stretched over the land, flowing slowly, slicing the ground into fragmented pieces.

And the sky was shrouded by endless volcanic ash, darkening the earth so that even the sun was obscured by ashes, unable to cast a single beam of light, and the world seemed to be sinking, falling into eternal darkness.

In the ruins of the town, human remains could still be seen, maintaining the postures they had before being engulfed by magma: twisted, struggling, raising their arms, but their bodies had long been charred, completely carbonized.

The herald explained: "This is the land affected by the scourge summoned by Kazuul, which we call the ’Doomsday Zone,’ estimated to be three hundred kilometers wide."

"By Cassius...."

"The southern Seleucid has turned into this state!"

"Has that Red Dragon gone mad? This is their Dragon Worship Sect’s territory! He actually slaughtered all the people here!"

"Do they not need logistics supplies?"

The Empire’s officers, accustomed to magma and flames, were still quite shocked by this world-ending scourge-like scene. After all, this scorched earth stretched for hundreds of kilometers, inhabited by countless creatures, and was completely submerged by Kazuul.

It can only be said that this enemy has far exceeded their imagination.

Dolores observed for a moment and asked the herald, "Haven’t our scouts penetrated in for investigation?"

The herald replied: "Of course they have, but the current environment of the Selyusi Plain is extremely harsh, with scorching magma rivers on the ground, air filled with thick smoke, very low visibility, making it easy to get lost in it, and the high sky is shrouded by volcanic ash, ordinary creatures cannot survive in it, suffocating in less than a few minutes."

Dolores frowned: "Aren’t our scouts equipped with directional instruments?"

The herald explained: "That land’s intent was already...."
