"Roar! Activate the Dragon Mountain Array! We must protect our resources before His Majesty sends aid."
"But Sire, those damned Sky Serpents are surrounding us. We will be trapped like this."
"Damn those despicable snakes!"
Across a massive, sprawling, snow-covered mountain, about a dozen dragons, mostly young and old with one foot in the grave, were stationed to guard the Spirit Iron Ores.
One particular dragon delved inside the mountain to activate the protective array they had built using leftover treasure from their ancestors.
"ROARRRR!"
Soon, a massive blue dragon the size of a half-kilometer-tall mountain rose with a terrifying roar.
BUZZZ!
It did not meet the Sky Serpents head on. That was not its purpose.
It transformed into a kilometers-scale protective shield that shimmered in the air like a translucent wall of blue light.
"HISSSSSSSS!"
Not long after, the Sky Serpents arrived.
