Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 749 - 418.5: The Holy Dragon Second Son’s Family Dispute_2

Terramus knew what the so-called territory inspection was; it was these female dragons checking their possessions and future profits.

He commanded the mechanical undead legion in the Dark Territory to conquer more than just a single city or region; the vast underground tunnels, cavities, caves, and nests dug out by certain monster clans highly skilled in excavation connected so broadly that they were no less extensive than the kingdoms above ground.

Let alone a few adult dragons, even an ancient dragon didn’t have the ability to unify such a vast territory, especially underground.

Only because he possessed an exceptionally unique mechanical undead legion, suppressing various parts of the Dark Territory with mechanical undead, did he not have to worry about issues of betrayal or loyalty, allowing him to maintain control.

On this basis, his partners inspecting the territory seemed laughable; even if four dragons went separate routes, could they really oversee everything?

Of course, he knew about this; back when he was campaigning in the Dark Territory, these dragons were already doing the same thing.

Like treasure-guarding dragons constantly checking their little hoard, these female dragons, while inspecting the territory, would also calculate how much tax could be collected annually, and how much they could profit from it, because these female dragons more or less moonlighted as tax officials for some regions.

At that time, Terramus didn’t mind this; they liked looking, so let them inspect, as it didn’t interfere with anything anyway.

But now things were different; he couldn’t stay in the Dark Territory anymore. He had a broader world and larger battlefields.

This underground kingdom he conquered, though nominally still ruled by him, was actually managed by these female dragons jointly in his name.

Previously, Terramus didn’t think much of this; they were his partners after all. Although they took the opportunity to gain some benefits, as long as it didn’t impact the main body, he didn’t care.

But after meeting his elder brother and the angel who might likely become his future sister-in-law, Terramus’s mindset changed.

Even though he acknowledged that his elder brother Iliad was slightly inherently stronger, he believed in his later efforts; compared to his brother, he was just as good, if not better.

Today, the brothers had some differences in bloodline, but in terms of status and personal ability, they were neck and neck. In terms of command and control of legions, and siege and conquest on the battlefield, he was even better.

As the younger brother, Terramus actually harbored considerable competitive feelings against his brother, though these weren’t too obvious, as their gap wasn’t significant.

Iliad possessed the heavenly Blazing Sky God bloodline, but Terramus, with ancestral heritage, also had the advantage of pureblood lineage.

While no research has shown that purebloods are necessarily superior to mixed bloods, it is certain that if one wishes for bloodline evolution, pureblood holds more advantage.

The elder brother was merely an encouraging target; becoming a powerful ancestral golden dragon like his father was Terramus’s ultimate pursuit.

But now, let alone the greatest pursuit, the elder brother had unconsciously achieved something he could never attain in his lifetime; Terramus couldn’t fathom how to rival and surpass it.

"What’s wrong with you?"

The Yellow Jade Dragon Brigit saw Terramus’s emotions overflowing and became tense and cautious. Although not as strong as his father, this adult golden dragon had also stepped into a legendary domain.

In other words, she was facing a legendary golden dragon in a bad mood. While he was her partner, it didn’t mean he could be easily appeased.

"Call all of them back. Does my territory need them to inspect it? Pointless!"

"I’ll notify them immediately."

The Yellow Jade Dragon did not ask further questions but chose compliance. Though not interacting much with creatures outside the Dragon Nest, inherent mental power enabled her to know how to soothe emotionally unstable creatures.

"Where’s Nancy? Where is she?"

"She is with her mother Camilla."

Brigit replied.

"She should be a juvenile dragon now, right? Why hasn’t she been sent to the Dragon Academy?"

Nancy was his and the Crystal Dragon Camilla’s daughter, the offspring of his last partner, a princess with an extremely low presence in the Holy Dragon Land.

This was mainly because her mother, Crystal Dragon Camilla, as Terramus’s last pursued partner, was extremely unique as a crystal dragon.

She fundamentally differed from the other four gemstone dragons; Crystal Dragon Camilla wasn’t a secluded dragon but rather had her own territory in the northern glacier lands.

This was territory developed by her own ability and merely a byproduct, not deliberate on her part. As she possessed a hobby unique to some crystal dragons.

Adopting and training white dragons

Some crystal dragons, idle to the point of absurdity, would collect white dragon eggs abandoned or even directly snatch the eggs laid by white dragons—without encountering resistance, as the probability of white dragons abandoning their eggs far exceeded that of the Colorful Dragon Clan.

Therefore, anyone long active in the glaciers could potentially acquire white dragon eggs, but whether they could hatch was another matter.

Nonetheless, crystal dragons capable of collecting a large number of white dragon eggs possessed this skill, and Crystal Dragon Camilla was one of them, an exceedingly zealous enthusiast for this hobby, collecting numerous white dragon eggs and training them into whatever form she desired.
