Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

"Noah, the war is about to begin!"

He once again showed his invincibility, and with his absolute power, he intimidated the monarchs of the East and the South. Sitting on the throne, he was like a towering sacred mountain that had existed for eternity, inviolable. At the first sight of him, they were only willing to kneel down and worship his majesty.

But the golden dragon, who was close at hand, saw through the fatigue and confusion that this seemingly majestic and powerful king was trying to hide.

Because he was too old, perhaps for a legendary king who was only a hundred years old, it was not appropriate to describe him as old.

But old age was the most realistic portrayal of Teddel's state at the moment. This force came from his father Cassius, but it did not belong to his bloodline.

It was oppressing his body and soul all the time. Although the blood of the Titans brought him unparalleled strength and power, it also brought him unimaginable strong pressure.

"But I am getting older and older, Noah. I may not be able to support you until you reach adulthood."

"Don't be impulsive."

Noah frowned and carefully sensed Teddel's current state, but the king's power was getting stronger with the passage of time.

Because he integrated and mastered more power from the Titan Blood Crystal, which seriously affected Noah's perception and judgment.

However, even so, Noah could feel the serious loss and consumption of Tagore's life source. All this was caused by his excessive use of the power of the Titan bloodline.

If he was as still as a mountain, even if the Titan bloodline would oppress him, he could still live for three to five hundred years. Once he took action, his vitality would be consumed as fast as a spring and a waterfall. It can be said that as long as Teddel took action, he would consume his own vitality.

"Do you think I was impulsive in this fight?"

Noah knew that what Taidel was asking about was the rebellion led by a legendary nobleman and his forces not long ago. The king, who looked old, took action after receiving and confirming the news.

He was no longer the shy boy, nor was he a young man who would hesitate and waver when faced with things. Along the way, he had gradually acquired the majesty and tolerance of the king that Noah wanted to see.

In the face of provocation, he would respond with absolute force. In the face of threats from more powerful forces, he would not give in or compromise. In the face of temptation, he would not hesitate at all and would kill all rebels with the force of thunder.

But this was the majesty that Noah envisioned as the most ideal monarch. When Taidel did all this, Noah felt unbearable because the price he paid was too tragic.

At the age of less than a hundred, this monarch who dominated the East Territory had already shown signs of twilight and an old posture that needed to be concealed.

Even a professional who has entered the path of transcendence would not be like this. Even as the heir of an ordinary noble, he would not be in this state now.

"No, you are not impulsive. The arrogance of the snake people is getting more and more arrogant. They do need to be warned and counterattacked strongly, but why would you do it?"

Noah affirmed Teddel's behavior, because of course from the results of the battle, Teddel's move this time was enough to deter the snake people, and it also made some of the extraordinary forces in the country who were ready to move continue to choose to wait and see, so that some fence-sitters could make a wiser decision.

"I am the king of Atlas. My vassal betrayed me, so of course I took action. Is there anything wrong with this?"

Hearing the evaluation made by the golden dragon in front of him, Teddel couldn't help laughing, and then asked back.

"But, what is your current state?"

Noah showed a worried look, he did not hide his expression, just like Teddel did not hide his bad state in front of him

"It's not as bad as you think. I still plan to completely destroy the Kingdom of the Seren Snakemen, but after this battle, I'm afraid I won't have the spare energy to take action again."

"There are legends from across the border in the Kingdom of Seren Snakemen. Are you sure you want to do it?"

"Of course, the hostile position has been determined, so there is nothing to say. Naturally, we must take advantage of these legends from across the border before they adapt to our world and eradicate them all."

The seemingly dying king has the purest and most intense murderous aura in his life.

The exchanges between species in the major material world planes are actually very frequent and close, especially the emergence of summoning, which has further enriched the prosperity of species in the major material worlds.

However, although the difficulty of crossing the border between the material worlds is much simpler than that of the upper and lower planes. But the basic rules still need to be followed, for example, the more powerful the creatures, the greater the difficulty of crossing the border.

Especially for individuals above the Extreme Intention, when they enter a world that does not belong to them, they will be rejected and suppressed by the world, and their combat effectiveness will decline to varying degrees.

However, this negative state caused by the world's suppression can be gradually eliminated through continuous adaptation. In the end, they can move freely like local creatures without any restrictions.

The material world is very inclusive. You should know that in the initial mythological era, the material world allowed gods to walk freely.

It's just that the war between gods has caused too much damage to the ecology of the material world, so there are restrictions and constraints on the laws of existence at the level of gods.

"Okay, with your state, how long can you last after this battle?"

Noah did not deny the correctness of Teddel's decision. The snake people had already extended their claws into the country and even instigated a great noble to rebel. It was not enough to just cut off the opponent's claws.

To truly keep the enemy out of the country, of course, the opponent's nest must be completely destroyed, but can Teddel still hold on?

"So, this is why I came to find you!"

Teddel smiled,

"I don't want to die young, so I am also going to follow my father. After this battle, I am going to strip off my blood, so please prepare first."

"You should have stripped off your blood a long time ago, Ur is about to break through."

Noah agreed with Teddel's decision. The root of Teddel's aging lies in the Titan blood. As long as this blood is stripped, it is only a problem of loss of vitality. With his current status, it is easy to solve.

"Even if he breaks through, it is not enough to inherit my current position."

Teddel is not very satisfied with his genius offspring.

Because he knew his son's character well. Once he took his place and sat on the throne, the entire kingdom would be influenced by him and become a huge war machine, running continuously until the machine destroyed everything in sight or fell apart.

But even if he foresaw this scene, it would be useless, because he could not find a second suitable successor except Urnos.

The second monarch of the Kingdom of Atlas must be a strong king who can hold all the power and strength in his own hands.

Otherwise, the newly established kingdom will surely fall apart. Therefore, even a tyrant who will turn the kingdom into a war behemoth is more suitable than an incompetent and mediocre ruler.

What Teddel thought was inappropriate was that Urnos's power at this time was not enough to bear the name of the king. The throne has not only rights, but also equal obligations.

"Legend is enough, you don't have to be too harsh, there are still your mother and I to help, and Edith will soon break through, a legendary Nine Swords Grandmaster, her deterrence, you know better than me."

Nine Swords Grandmaster is a melee mage who is good at fighting. Although this description is not enough to summarize this profession, it is the best summary for people who don't know much about it.

Therefore, the status of a legendary Nine Swords Grandmaster is basically equivalent to that of a legendary spellcaster. From the perspective of a ruler, the deterrence is even stronger, because the Nine Swords Grandmaster specializes in fighting, and all the spells and combat skills he possesses are to improve combat and lethality.

"I know that it is because of your existence that I can make such a willful decision."

"This is not willful at all. As a monarch, you are better, more decisive, and more domineering than I expected."

"Hahaha, are you criticizing me? But I think you are praising me. Noah, go and prepare the blood-stripping array for me. I will use it soon."

"Are you going alone?"

"No, I will also summon all the legends who can fight in the kingdom."

"I can't go?"

"You need to prepare the array for me!"

Teddel repeated.

"What do you want to do?"

Noah couldn't see anything wrong.

"Do what a monarch and a family head should do, and eliminate all threats."

Teddel's deep voice echoed in the deep palace. At this time, he no longer had the weakness and oldness of his vitality being exhausted, and his momentum was gradually rising.

When he summoned Noah, he had already arranged everything, and there was no place for Noah in the list of the expedition.

"I have to go with you. I think you are going to do something stupid."

"If you really want me to come back alive, you can wait for me in the city of Elishim. Don't you know how much the evil god named the Mother of Ten Thousand Snakes covets you?

If you go with me, the evil god will definitely send down an incarnation. This is not the blood sacrifice incarnation you dealt with last time. There will be a legend as her carrier, even I will have a headache."

Noah was speechless for the reason that was difficult to refute. After all, a large part of the reason why the Kingdom of Atlas was now targeted by the snake people was related to him.

The Mother of Ten Thousand Snakes coveted his blood very much, and this was related to the authority she held, because she was the source of the blood of tens of thousands of snake-like extraordinary creatures.

If Noah is really willing to cooperate with her and create a new snake species, with the blessing of the ancestral dragon bloodline, her authority can be greatly improved.

"You make sense."

Noah had to admit this.

So, the golden dragon watched as the first king of Atlas led half of the kingdom's legends to fight across the border to attack the Serpent Kingdom.

This war attracted the attention of almost all forces on the Westlandia continent, because after the end of the Hell Disaster and the collapse of the Abyss Gate, no more than two-digit legends participated in the same battlefield.

Although the scale of this war was comparable to the Hell Disaster, it did not last long. The expeditionary army led by King Atlas himself was composed of legends and extremes, with a scale of no more than a hundred people.

In just three days, Teddel led a group of legends to push the battle line to the nest of the Serpent Kingdom, and then a melee broke out instantly.

The battle lasted for eight days and nine nights, and no legend in the Serpent Kingdom of Sein could fight against the King of Atlas, who inherited the blood of the Titans.

Therefore, this war ended with the destruction of the Serpent Kingdom of Sein without any suspense. This Serpent Kingdom, which was established less than five years ago, has become history, but whether it will only remain in history is a question mark.

Because there are still a large number of Serpents left, and they are active all over the Zealandia continent. However, facing the Atlas Kingdom, which easily destroyed a country, these Serpents do not seem to be a threat.

Because of this battle, as many as six legends fell, and two legends escaped. Although such a brilliant victory was achieved, the Kingdom of Atlas also paid a heavy price. A total of three legends fell, and the rest of the legends who participated in the war were also injured to varying degrees.

It seems that the only one who was truly unscathed was the King of Atlas, but only the golden dragon who was really close to him knew how heavy a price this king paid for this victory.

"You!"

Noah was furious when he saw Taidel fulfill his promise and return to the city of Elishim.

The reason for his anger was very simple, because the man in front of him was an old man with a hunched body, sparse hair, and a body so shriveled that the skin and flesh were connected to the bones. The death aura on him was so strong that it could be compared with the dead spirits.

"How can we extract blood?"

"Can't we extract it?"

"You only have one breath left now, and you still ask if you can extract it? If you move a little, your soul will return to the underworld!"

Noah couldn't understand it at all.

"You don't need to do this. The situation is not so bad that you need to sacrifice your life."

"No, the situation is actually worse than you think. The infiltration of the snake people is more serious than you see."

Teddel smiled helplessly.

"Have you heard about the three legends who fell in our kingdom in the war report? I killed them myself."

"What? You took a group of rebels to destroy the enemy country? How many things have you concealed from me?"

Although Noah was shocked, he was even more angry that this kind of news did not reach his ears.

"No, that's all. I have eliminated all the threats."
