Chapter 57 - The End of the Dragon King
…………
He circled and prepared to descend, and the fuzzy projection also swept over the magnificent, non-man-made magnificent buildings beneath him. Every time he saw this stone temple and the things around him, he still deeply touched him. The magic pivot rose up and divided into several layers, each layer shaped in a ring-shaped structure. The edges of the blue platform of the carved text were covered with snow and frost. From a distance, they looked like steps. The highest level could observe the entire territory of Kodala, and even the north wind tundra outside the cliffs. Even under the invasion of time and the baptism of several fierce battles, the home of the Blue Dragon clan still stood firm.
Karegoth sighed and lowered his body. His eyes fell on his companions below, thinking in his mind how to announce the decision to protect the dragons with them. This title now bears a bit bitter on his head, and he is no longer a guardian dragon.
The blue dragon with wings raised its gaze back to its destination. As the height decreased, the magic pivot became more and more grand in his eyes. When he finally arrived at an entrance at the bottom, he did not stop and greet the guards of the blue dragon soldiers, but just nodded to them. In response, the blue dragons saluted him. At this time, Karegoth realized that he had not lost the trust of his tribe because of the loss of power. He stood with his wings, entered the interior of his home, looked around, and then walked the last section of the road.
The space inside the magic pivot was extremely wide. The crystals on the walls provided a faint light. The ancient stone-carved vines appeared and felt relieved. Karegoth thought that maybe something had changed, but some were still the same.
The giant dragon walked along the not-so-wide stone bridge passage towards the central portal. He listened and finally heard the voices of some members. What they were saying was not clear. However, the female dragon who responded clearly penetrated the portal and came over.
"We should be patient. Karegoth has gone to the Dragon Sleeping Temple..." This is a gentle and peaceful voice, "The journey back and forth takes some time."
After hearing his name, the blue dragon knew that he could no longer escape. He walked into the portal and shouted loudly: "I'm back!"
His voice and his figure immediately became the focus of dozens of pairs of expectant eyes. The Eternal Eye has long been repaired. The platform floating in the mysterious plane has gathered dozens of elites from the Blue Dragon clan. Some of them have profound qualifications, and some are the best among the new generation.
"Welcome back, Lord Caregus." The speaker was Tragoth, the oldest of the Blue Dragon, who was said to have followed Marigoth for thousands of years. "Did you bring back any good news?"
This too direct way of asking questions made it difficult for Caregus to speak. Before he could answer, the other blue dragon flew in front of him.
"We're so glad you'll be back in time, brother." Teregosa showed a comforting smile on his face. "Is the journey going smoothly?"
"It's not... good." Karegoth replied in the same tone, but there was a dead silence.
What does it mean if it is not smooth? Is it because he was attacked on the way back and forth, or is the result of the meeting between the Dragon Kings not so pleasant? The silent depression tests Caregos' determination. The ending is destined, and no matter what consequences he will bear, he has no reason to hide it.
"The Longmian Alliance... has been disbanded."
The Eye of Eternity exploded in an instant. Soon, the one in front of Karegos was completely in chaos. It seemed that all the blue dragons were yelling in unison. Each of them was making noises of doubt and anger.
"How could something happen?"
"That's a stupid decision."
"Does the guardian dragon want to leave everything behind?"
Caregus slammed his tail to the ground. "Silent!" He shouted, and his words echoed among the surrounding stars for a long time.
The dragon clan stopped talking and turned his head to look at his leader. Caregus noticed that some of the dragon clan's eyes were already full of confusion, and regarded him as his last hope and sought his guidance; others stared at him with complaining eyes, suspecting that he had agreed to the dissolution of the coalition.
The Blue Dragon King was surprised to find that even if he could order them, he could not find a word to comfort them.
The impatient breath in the air became more and more obvious, until another female blue dragon, Cligosa, the daughter of Marigos, finally broke the silence. "Forgive me, but I have something to say, Lord Weaver."
Karegoth wanted Kligotha to call him "Carre", which was his nickname, and now he is no longer a guardian dragon, everything seems normal, but the Blue Dragon thought about it, the female Blue Dragon was reminding him that he is still the leader of the Blue Dragon Legion.
"Your advice is needed here, Krigosa." Karegos felt a little relaxed, and finally someone could say something.
"I don't question your decision between you and the other three guardian dragons. I believe that disbanding the Dragon Mile Alliance is the result of your discussion countless times..." Hearing this, Caregus smiled bitterly. He had not discussed this issue with Alextasa and others. He had never discussed this issue with him. He had never disbanded the Dragon Mile Alliance... It was more like a temporary decision, just because there was no question for discussion in the Dragon King Council. Deathwings had failed, and the mission of protecting the Dragon was completed.
"But please tell us." Krigosa raised his voice and brought Karegos back to reality. "Where is the future of the Blue Dragon Legion?"
The focus returned to Karegoth. The problem was so difficult, and he, who had been a weaver, sighed: "This is the worst ending. Even if I tried every means, I could not save the decision of the other three dragon kings. They... were all wise men older than me. I once thought that as long as I worked together, I hoped that I would not leave us, but the era of the dragon was over, and the responsibility of guarding Azeroth was required to be carried out by others." After all, Karegoth felt that he wanted to use all his strength to say what he said next: "We should accept reality. Now is the age of mortals, and we are mortals. We can no longer be like before. My brothers and sisters, it is time to go out and see if there is any place in this world that can make our abilities work."
It was different from what he expected, and no one stood up and condemned Caregus loudly. Even if the truth was not heard, it could not be refuted.
"At least, there should be a decent ceremony to end it all with respect." Krigosa might have expected such an ending, and her words were recognized by most Blue Dragons.
