The sun slowly rose over the horizon, illuminating the lands of the Abyssal Dragon Empire. From his position in the central fortress, Lu Ming watched as his army moved with precision. Super Draconic Soldiers patrolled the walls, while Draconic craftsmen worked tirelessly, reinforcing the defenses with magic and sturdy materials. The fortifications grew larger every day, preparing the territory for the impending war.
However, Lu Ming knew that this battle would not be won with brute force alone. At his side, the Draconic Priest, with his calm but penetrating gaze, suggested various protective spells and magic traps that could be placed at strategic points around the territory. His wisdom was invaluable, and Lu Ming nodded in approval as his orders were carried out to the letter.
**[System: Abyssal Dragon Empire fortifications enhanced. Total defense increased by 20%.]**
Meanwhile, in the nearby forest, a group of elven scouts moved stealthily, trying to get close enough to assess Lu Ming's forces. However, their mission quickly failed when one of the Draconic Super Soldiers detected their presence. A brief clash broke out, but the elves, outnumbered and outpowered, were cut down. Only one of them managed to escape, taking with them valuable information about Lu Ming's stronghold.

### **At the Antagonists' War Council**
Far away, in the majestic elven city, the silver-haired, emerald-eyed King Arannis Silvanor called his war council. His eyes reflected a mix of hatred and concern. To Arannis, dragons were creatures of nightmare, ancient threats that had brought chaos and destruction to his world. And now, Lu Ming, a being with the power of dragons, threatened to unleash that darkness once more.
"This Lu Ming," Arannis said in a gravelly voice, "is more dangerous than we expected. His control over dragons and dark magic cannot be underestimated. We must act with speed and precision."
At his side, Thorin Heavyhammer, the Dwarf King, was the opposite. His sturdy frame radiated strength and determination, his thick beard waving as he spoke in a rumbling tone. "We need no such subtlety, Arannis. My warriors are ready to crush him. We will storm his fortress and destroy everything in their path."
Arannis, with a sigh, knew he had to balance strategic wisdom with Thorin's brute strength. "Very well, Thorin. We will coordinate our attacks, but do not underestimate his magic. The ancient wisdom of my people tells me that he is no ordinary opponent."
Both leaders nodded, sealing their temporary alliance with a clear goal: to destroy Lu Ming and his forces before his power grew even further.

Back at the fortress, Lu Ming walked among his soldiers, sensing the tension that was beginning to build. Although his troops were loyal, the fear of the unknown was ever present. Lu Ming, in his 50-meter-tall dragon form, cast an imposing shadow over the camp. His very presence inspired renewed fervor in his soldiers. With his resonant voice, he assured his troops that this war would be their greatest victory.
The Draconian General and the Draconian Priest, always at his side, shared their own pep talks. The General, his voice firm and authoritative, reminded the soldiers that they were the elite of the Abyssal Dragon Empire, invincible under Lu Ming's leadership. The Priest, for his part, offered blessings and promises of divine protection, bolstering the troops' morale.
**[System: Troop morale increased by 15%. Unwavering loyalty maintained at 100%.]**

As night fell, Lu Ming's scouts returned with troubling news. The combined elven and dwarven armies had begun marching towards their lands. It was the prelude to the storm that was about to break.
Lu Ming looked out at the horizon with determination. He knew this war would not be easy, but he was prepared. "Get everyone ready," he ordered, his voice ringing with authority. "The enemy is coming our way, but they have no idea what awaits them."
The Draconic Priest, with his staff in hand, muttered words of power, calling upon the spirits of the land to further strengthen the territory's defenses. The forces of nature responded, creating an invisible but powerful barrier around the fortress.
Lu Ming, looking towards the east, where the enemy troops were approaching, gave a cold smile. The war was about to begin, and he was ready to do what he could.needed to protect his kingdom and crush his enemies.
