Evil dragon has a warm heart
Chapter 648 - 648 646 Amber Age

Chapter 648: Chapter 646: Amber Age Chapter 648: Chapter 646: Amber Age Russell did not wish to be emperor, and the Thunder Voice Conference soon resumed its bustling atmosphere, discussing the matters of joining Amber Dreamland.

First and foremost, it was clear that Amber Dreamland was Russell’s own Amber Dreamland.

Even if other nations developed their Volcanic Realms, the ownership still belonged solely to Russell. Russell merely bestowed the administrative rights to those nations. Any affair requiring a relay through Amber Dreamland must be reported to Russell.

No one was allowed to use Amber Dreamland for connections without authorization.

Otherwise, Russell would revoke the ingress and egress rights of the Volcanic Realm and seal the Hope Pass.

Secondly,

all resource exploitation within the Volcanic Realm required tax payments to Russell, referencing the situation of the Warm Enclave to establish tax amounts.

Once more, in addition to the real-world Thunder Voice Conference, another “Amber Council” was to be established within Amber Dreamland’s Dreamscape Volcano in the Amber Central Region, to command all nations of the Dragon Sleep Continent collectively and resist the invasion of Frost Star.

The members of the Amber Council would be composed of the kings and grand dukes of each nation, and specific duties would be discussed after the opening of the Volcanic Realm.

Lastly,

under the Amber Council, an organization called “Dragon Solidarity Front” should be formed. All dragons, Phantom Dragons, Dragon Knights, and Phantom Dragon Knights would join together to face the invasion of the Frost Snow Giants Legion. What was most critical was relying on the combat strength of Russell and the Dreamscape Ancient Dragon.

The Frost Domain could greatly weaken the combat ability of dragons, with only the Little Dream Dragon capable of breaking the Frost Domain.

“The contents discussed in this Thunder Voice Conference will be formally announced to all nations in the form of the ‘Amber Declaration.’ Only by abiding by the ‘Amber Declaration’ can one forge hope as the key and open up the Volcanic Realm!”

Russell incorporated several main principles into the Amber Declaration and then announced with a thunderous voice, “All kings and grand dukes, before opening the Volcanic Realm, please swear to abide by the Amber Declaration in the Thunder Voice Conference.”

“This is the implied meaning!” A grand duke immediately took the oath, “I, Duke Donald of Boulder from the Grand Duchy of Boulder, in the name of the Boulder Dragon, swear to abide by the ‘Amber Declaration’!”

Russell immediately replied with thunder, “Welcome, Duke Donald, to Amber Dreamland.”

“Haha, I shall immediately tell the Boulder Dragon to forge the Hope Pass!” Duke Donald sent with a thunderous voice.

He was not a Dragon Knight, and traces of Frost Snow Giants had already appeared on the surrounding snow plains. He already longed for the protection of Russell.

Following him closely, Duke Jonas sought to make his presence felt, “Although the Warm Jade Volcanic Region has already been opened up, I, Duke Jonas of Warm Jade from the Warm Jade Duchy, also in the name of the Warm Jade Dragon, swear to abide by the ‘Amber Declaration’!”

“I, King Debuloye Firelight of the Pyro Lykin Kingdom, in the name of the Sunshine Giant Dragon, swear to abide by the ‘Amber Declaration.'” The most powerful human kingdom’s King Debuloye took his oath early.

Seeing that the Pyro Lykin Kingdom had joined, other nations had no hesitations and followed suit.

“I, King Veslintos of Cloud from the Ten Thousand Clouds Kingdom, in the name of the Ten Thousand Dragon, swear to abide by the ‘Amber Declaration’.”

“I, Duke of the Magma Duchy…”

“I, Duke of the Mountain Ridge Duchy…”

“I, King James Thunderroll of the Thundering Oceanic Kingdom…”

In just a short moment, within the Thunder Voice Conference, 43 kings and grand dukes were present, and 34 had already sworn to abide by the Amber Declaration — regardless of whether they had thought it through or truly wished to open up the Volcanic Realm immediately, they swore first.

There were nine who did not take the oath.

Russell did not need to swear, as Amber Dreamland was already his.

The King Ares of Scorching Torrent Kingdom had not joined, as he was en route to the Red Castle.

The six Grand Duchies already destroyed, including Molten Fire Duchy and others, had no chance even if they wished to swear, for with their dragons perished, there was no hope for their Volcanic Realms.

The last one was Duke Henrik of Fan Yan Duchy, “King Russell, my nation has already lost the opportunity to develop a Volcanic Realm, do we still need to swear by the ‘Amber Declaration,’ and is there a way to recover hope?”

Russell observed this thunderous query.

After a brief silence, he asked with thunder, “Currently, six Grand Duchies have been obliterated, Meltingfire, Ice Crystal, Darkflame, Starlight, Rugged Ridge, Snowy Flight… Meltingfire’s hope has already shattered, how is the situation with the other five hopes?”

“The dragon hope of our nation is still safeguarded in my hands,” a quiet thunderous voice responded, coming from the Starlight Duchy.

Duke Nurdin of the Starlight Duchy, along with their dragon, fell in battle, and his son, Nurchi, struggled to keep the nation afloat.

He was preparing to seek refuge in the surrounding nations.

Subsequently, two Grand Dukes whose nations had been annihilated replied, their hope for the Darkflame Dragon and the Ridgeback Dragon still remaining.

However, the hope for the Ice Ridge Dragon and the Snow Dragon seemed to have fallen along with the dragons themselves.

“That is to say, there are still three hopes left,” Russell proposed during the Thunder Voice Conference, “Duke Henrik, perhaps you can buy one to allow the Scorching Dragon to refine it, which should also be able to open the Volcanic Realm.”

“Really? How wonderful!” Duke Henrik exclaimed with joy.

Thereupon, he immediately began to bid for the dragon’s remaining hope from the three Grand Dukes with hope at the Thunder Voice Conference.

Seeing this, King James also joined the bidding queue: “The hope of our Oceanic Dragon has also shattered…”

“If King James can save the people of my nation, this hope in Murat’s hands can be given to His Majesty for free,” the Grand Duke of the Darkflame Duchy, Murat Darkflame, quickly clarified the conditions.

The Thundering Oceanic Kingdom and the Darkflame Duchy both lay in the Ancient Northern Snow Plains, not too far from each other.

“Even without this hope, I, James, will not ignore the people of the Darkflame Duchy!”

“Good, your majesty’s words are enough; please send someone to take it.”

Russell was pleased to see this development. The more Volcanic Realms that were opened, the larger the extent of the Amber Dreamland, and naturally, the greater the increase in strength for the Little Dream Dragon.

This was similar to the fact that the more Warm Enclaves the dragons opened, the stronger they became.

“Your Majesty, King Ares has arrived.”

“Please, show him in.”

A moment later, King Ares walked into the Red Fort Thunder Station, escorted by his attendants, and embraced Russell.

“The timing of the king’s arrival is perfect. The ‘Amber Declaration’ has just been passed in the Thunder Voice Conference; you may wish to familiarize yourself with it,” Russell said with a smile as he showed King Ares the densely written translation notes of the Thunder Voice Conference spread out on the table.

After reading them, King Ares quietly pondered for a moment and then said, “I would like to borrow the Thunder Station.”

“Please, go ahead.”

Soon, an additional pronouncement echoed in the Thunder Voice Conference, “I, Ares Sundazzle, in the name of the Fiery Dragon, swear to abide by the ‘Amber Declaration’… In addition, Duke Nurchi and Duke Croix, I am willing to pay a hefty sum for the hope in each of your hands.”

After the announcement,

King Ares then said to Russell, “I escorted the Torrential Flood Dragon here with the hope it could enter the Amber Dreamland, but obtaining a hope would be even better.”

“Do you intend to open a Volcanic Realm for the Scorching Dragon, Your Majesty?”

“Scorching is still considering, but I believe we’ll have a decision soon. The Tri-Dragon Sacrifice Method has already failed, and the only hope now lies in the Amber Dreamland,” King Ares reflected, “The Dreamscape Ancient Dragon truly represents hope.”

Russell smiled. He believed the same.

He then asked, “Now that the Torrential Flood Dragon has a lead on hope, do you plan to immediately issue a Hope Pass to send it into the Amber Dreamland, or wait a while?”

“Opening a Hope Pass now wouldn’t affect its ability to open a Volcanic Realm later, would it?”

“It won’t.”

“Then let’s send it in now. It can stay in the Amber Dreamland to cultivate, and once the Scorching Volcanic Realm is opened, it can return,” King Ares spoke and then shook his head, “It’s not certain the Torrential Flood Dragon will be able to obtain hope, though.”

The hope for the Darkflame Dragon had already been taken by King James.

With two hopes, that of Starlight and Ridgeback, one would definitely have to go to the Fan Yan Duchy, allowing them to join the Amber Dreamland.

That left only one hope remaining.

Now, there were three dragons that had lost hope, and the Torrential Flood Dragon had to compete with the two dragons from the Pyro Lykin Kingdom.

It might not succeed.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s not obtained; having the Scorching Volcanic Realm is enough. Moreover, our two nations are close to each other, and I can provide support at any time,” Russell said. If the Frost Snow Giants truly did invade, he would be secretly amused.

Both the Shadowflame Dragon and the Little Dream Dragon were eagerly awaiting this.

“Yes, our two nations support each other, and we fear no challenge,” King Ares said, looking at the young Russell with deep emotion, “Five thousand years of the Dark Age, five thousand years of the Warm Age, and now, it’s your turn to usher in the Amber Age!”
