Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

Seeing the golden dragon crushing and killing a drow mistress on the spot, all clan leaders chose to remain silent, even though no one knew about Noah's noble bloodline as an ancestor - because none of them had seen a golden dragon, and their knowledge of golden dragons was limited to rumors, of course, they didn't know their ancestors.

The overwhelming combat power shown by the golden dragon now also conforms to their understanding of golden dragons. The only thing that doesn't conform is that the killing process of this golden dragon is too cruel, which is slightly inconsistent with the rumors.

However, looking at the target, it can be understood, because the legendary golden dragon is a dragon species that hates evil and has no mercy on evil.

In other words, the golden dragon in front of them declared that he would kill them all, not to intimidate them, but really had such an intention.

They were already on the other side's territory. Looking at the drow mistress who had all her life-saving means failed and could only wait to die, they knew that fighting against the golden dragon in the Mage City would only be used as a meat target and crushed to death one by one.

Who can fight against such a giant dragon?

The Tauren Chieftain looked at the dragon's tail swaying not far in front of him, and made a silent mental calculation. The golden dragon that just stood on the high platform, which looked slender and long, was discovered when he got closer. Even the most slender tail of the golden dragon was several times larger than his torso. He felt that his fate might not be very good if the tail came over.

It's not that he has never seen a dragon before. As an older Tauren, he once encountered a dragon in the Underdark, a yellow jade dragon, but the size of that yellow jade dragon was less than half of the dragon in front of him.

But even so, he didn't have the courage to challenge the yellow jade dragon at the beginning, and he didn't have it now. Even though he is stronger now, the golden dragon in front of him is much stronger than the yellow jade dragon he met at the beginning.

Moreover, there are not only dragons here. The minotaur glanced at both sides from the corner of his eyes. The iron golems with flashing secret patterns and flowing luster stood along the wall. Not to mention, there were cloud giants, which were stronger than the golems in both size and presence, guarding on both sides.

These cloud giants, which were over twelve meters tall, were wearing magic armor and holding weapons taller than them. It was difficult to deal with them alone, but here, they appeared in groups on the scale of a legion.

This was not a place for them to express their objections. The only thing they could do was to submit in the most humble manner.

"Why is no one speaking? Or are you all willing to obey my management?"

Noah looked around the hall and shuttled among dozens of clan leaders in the Underdark. His huge body made all the clan leaders choose to avoid him. No one dared to look at the golden dragon's eyes, and all chose to bow their heads and obey.

"The Black Horn Tribe is willing to obey your management!"

When the golden dragon looked over, the old minotaur answered loudly.

The situation of the tribe was already extremely bad. In order to pay the resource share required by the legendary wizard, young people of the tribe died tragically every year. The tribe could barely maintain its current size and was unable to expand, let alone become stronger and more prosperous.

Now, the ruler and manager has changed from a human wizard to a golden dragon. How bad can the situation be? You can't really kill them all? What's the point? They provide resources every year.

"Her tribe belongs to you. You have the right to mobilize the surrounding tribes to encircle her tribe. All the spoils obtained will be handed over half, and your tribe can get 30%. The remaining tribes participating in the encirclement will divide the remaining spoils according to their participation!"

For the first tauren tribe that clearly stated that they would obey his management, Noah showed his "generosity" and gave a sweet date, pointing to the ashes of the drow corpses that he crushed to death.

Although Noah's distribution of the results of the battle sounded like oppression, and half of the spoils were taken away without anyone going out, the Black Horn Tribe was still very happy.

Because Selina had previously oppressed and exploited them more harshly. Even if she cleaned up some disobedient tribes, she would not benefit the participating tribes and clans, but would not lose anything.

This legendary wizard equally exploited all the dark clans that surrendered to the Augustus family. Without exception, all tribes could only barely survive in the dark land controlled by Augustus. As long as they obeyed the rule, they would not perish, but it would be difficult for them to expand and become powerful.

Now it seems that the rule of the Golden Dragon will be different from that of the legendary wizard. For some tribes, it may be an opportunity for the clan to rise.

The Black Horn Tribe surrendered first and got actual benefits. Although other tribes regretted it and followed immediately, they still had no share.

However, Noah planned to pick out one or two tribes that he liked and support them, and then use these tribes to manage and exploit the remaining tribes.

Agent system

When the foster mother was here, she didn't treat these dark races as human beings at all. Although they were not human beings, they were extremely harsh. Even if they gave everything, they could only maintain the minimum standard of survival, so that these tribes could hardly do anything.

Now, with Noah in power, of course, there will be some differences. Because the underground is always an area that is difficult to control on the ground, it is too difficult to manage, and the cost of ruling is extremely high, so direct interference is not cost-effective.

So Noah planned to control the barbarians with the barbarians, occupy the highest ruling and management power, command the obedient tribes, attack those disobedient tribes, in order to maintain rule, and even plunder externally.

It's a very good idea, but the premise of maintaining the rule is to master absolute force and the military force that can suppress and clean up everything.

The former can be made up after waiting for Taidel to break through, because the attack of the Sun Archon cannot reach the underground. As for the latter, the thirteen knights of the Augustus family are enough to meet the requirements.

"Really, it's endless!"

After sending off the delegation from the Dark Region, Noah sighed. With the help of the remaining power of Selena and Cassius, it is expected that the rule of the Dark Region can be maintained for three to five years without problems. If Taidel is strong enough, it can be maintained for longer.

As for now, Noah has to deal with more difficult targets.

"Sir Noah, has Sir Selena not come back yet?"

"No, what do you want?"

Noah looked at the young mage who came up. This is Selena's follower. The mage who was attracted by the establishment of the Mage City is the mage group that discovered Selena's absence the fastest.

However, Noah, who took over the Mage City at the first time, answered this group of mages that his foster mother was out and asked him for help.

"We have encountered a problem and want to ask Lady Serena for help."

"Problem? Let me see."

Noah stretched out his dragon claws directly.

"Here..."

The mage, who looked very young but was actually several times older than Noah, seemed a little shy and embarrassed.

The group of mages who found out that Serena was gone at the first time actually had no doubts about this. After all, it was common for mages to run away for a few years on a whim. They themselves did this and there was nothing strange about it.

The reason why they came to ask if the mage had returned was mainly to ask questions to the golden dragon in front of them.

If they doubted the wisdom of the golden dragon at the first time and thought that the dragon clan knew no magic, after the second and third times, no one doubted it anymore. Instead, they would find excuses to seek the guidance and help of the golden dragon in front of them.

"A very simple question!"

Noah had an idea after just one glance. Of course, the specific plan was left to the group of mages to figure out by themselves. He just taught them the ideas and thoughts that came up. For them, it was like a beacon when they were groping forward in the dark.

"Sir Noah, your wisdom really amazes me!"

Seeing the solution given by Noah, the mages who came to ask for advice were immediately amazed, and at the same time, they lamented in their hearts the injustice of the Creator, why would such wisdom be given to the dragons who were already blessed by nature.

Such academic mages who have been studying for a long time as them sometimes lack a touch of inspiration when they encounter problems, but the inspiration of the golden dragon in front of them seems to be endless.

"If you have any questions in the future, come and ask me directly. Now I dominate the Mage City!"

After Noah gave his answer, he said directly to the mage who was full of praise.

The mage in front of him belongs to the School of Truth. Under the premise that research resources can be guaranteed, they will plunge into the theory and research of spells, and will not be moved by external things. They are pure scholar-type mages.

This type of mages occupies a considerable proportion in the Mage City, otherwise Selina would not have recruited them. Unfortunately, her followers are not all scholars who pursue the truth. There are also many mages who are extremely power-hungry. This group of mages is the type that can be sent out to do practical things.

This group of mages is the one that Noah is a little worried about. As for the scholar mages in front of him, they belong to the group that Noah can gather calmly. This is the confidence given to him by the golden wisdom fruit.

"Okay, Mr. City Lord!"

The young mage who got Noah's promise left happily with the answer. His mental age corresponds to his appearance. Although he is quite old, he has little real experience.

"It would be great if there were only such guys in the city."

The golden dragon sighed when he saw the back of the departing figure, and then summoned directly,

"Gu Gefeier!"

[I am here]

"Are there any idle combat mages now? Send them a battle invitation for me."

Noah, who chose to become the Sun Archon without evading responsibility, has switched his mentality.

The remaining power of his adoptive parents can still deter everything, but Noah has already started to prepare for the rainy day, and has begun to take heavy actions against those who have a strong desire for power.

He did not deliberately suppress them or withhold resources. There is no need to do such despicable things. He just often sends battle invitations to these guys.

At the beginning, many extreme mages were eager to fight. For many mages who think highly of themselves, fighting with the dragons who are already good at casting spells is something they can only dream of.

However, as long as they fight with Noah once or twice, no mage is willing to fight, because the golden dragon with the intention of establishing its prestige will not hold back at all.

Even without the help of the dragons' natural strong body, Noah can suppress a group of mages with the extreme intention of the law. Mages who have comprehended this extreme intention are walking spell turrets, with a higher status than mages of the same realm, and belong to first-class mages.

Most mages break through by relying on the ultimate of Qi, that is, constantly accumulating mana and mental power. When the limit is reached, the quantitative change leads to qualitative change, which triggers the transformation of the essence of life and then breaks through.

In fact, this is regarded as the mainstream way of promotion, and most spellcasters are promoted in this way. As for the ultimate of law, this is the path of true genius, and ordinary mages should not even think about it.

[OK, please wait]

Faced with Noah's invitation, no one in the Mage City is willing to fight with him now. It is enough to experience the feeling of being crushed once, and no one likes to experience it many times.

Therefore, Noah allowed the mages to form a group, cooperate with each other, and fight against him. He also wanted to test the limit of his combat power in this way. He needed to have a sufficient understanding of himself.

Unfortunately, even if the academically obsessed mages were pulled in, the five mages were defeated by the slightly serious Noah, and they were completely unable to compete head-on.

"We need extreme warriors to resist your frontal attack!"

This was a request made by one of the mages after being ravaged by Noah again. The other mages agreed and demanded that melee spellcasters must be introduced to cooperate with them, otherwise the battle would not be fought.

"Well, I'll try, can I find a few of them?"

So, Noah naturally stretched out his dragon claws and aimed at the leaders of the Extreme Knights of the Augustus family.

These extreme warriors still don't know the inside story, and they don't even know that Cassius has completed a transformation.

Although they were attracted by Cassius, almost no one got much guidance, but it doesn't matter. Now they have found their own position in this land, and they are bound by interests, so they basically won't run away.

In Noah's eyes, these extreme knights are also targets that need to be conquered and deterred.

They came because of their adoptive father. If you want to win their hearts before they become legends, you must beat them up until they are convinced.

In this regard, warriors are much more straightforward than mages. If they are beaten, they will basically bow their heads, not make trouble, and can accept the result calmly.

It doesn't matter if you don't accept it, it's just a few more beatings. Compared with external future threats, Noah pays more attention to internal stability.

In this regard, there is no shortcut. The only way is to show overwhelming absolute force, so that people dare not have the slightest resistance, have the slightest intention of stirring up the storm, and honestly and obediently stay in their original positions and contribute part of their own strength.
