Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

"Don't you feel bad when your son sells your father's land?"

Noah looked down at the map of mountains and rivers in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

The dragon fairy Elfino was appointed as the governor of the six fortresses of the Valley of Fire, which was equivalent to most of Augustus's accumulation before he became a royal family. The foundation that he had worked hard for more than half a century was handed over to him.

The development focus of the Augustus family was forcibly transferred to the central area of ​​the Eastern Civilization World by him, and he did not hesitate to give up the transfer of the family's foundation.

It must be said that this is a very bold, but also a very wasteful choice. Such a move and decision, even Noah, who thought he was very familiar with this student, had never expected it. If it were him, he really couldn't make such a cruel heart.

"Your Highness, Elfino now has the right to explore and the right to independently build an army."

Although Sifrea still has a low opinion of Urnos, she is very sympathetic to the generosity shown by this second-generation king.

Because he gave too much, so much that it was beyond her expectations, which she had never thought of before, and she was a little confused, and didn't know how to arrange it for a while.

Elfino, the dragon fairy who was originally the Grand Archon of the Royal Capital, has now become the governor of a border. From the perspective of official appointment, it is undoubtedly a demotion, but combined with her identity and the power she now has, it is clearly a demotion and a promotion.

Originally, Noah's territory was half surrounded by the Augustus family. Even in the direction that was not bordering the Augustus family, it was connected to other nobles. It can be said that there was no land to be developed in all directions.

Therefore, Noah could only toss around in the territory, build cities, reclaim land, and think about how to increase food production and develop business. Or build a few more production lines, expand the golem workshop, or operate the planting of magic potions.

But now it is different. The original base of the Augustus family was at the border of civilization. Now handing the border to Noah is equivalent to handing over the right to develop to Noah.

It is a customary rule that border nobles have the right to freely explore. Otherwise, without even this little authority and freedom, which family would be willing to guard the border, explore civilized land, and spend their strength on it? They should run away as soon as possible.

"Yes, he not only handed over the Augusto family's base to me, but also gave me the right to explore."

Noah could understand the meaning.

This is a kind of deal. The second-generation king Urnos did not want Noah to interfere in the military and political affairs of the Atlas Kingdom, nor did he want the influence of the Holy Dragon in the kingdom to be too high, surpassing the royal family, especially surpassing him as the king.

However, the authority of the Holy Dragon Noah would not only lead to opposition with the dragon clan, but also weaken the influence of the Augustus family and shake the foundation of his rule.

This is also what he did not want to see, so he gave up the benefits that could shut everyone up, and gave the highest power, retaining only nominal rule and jurisdiction, as well as the taxes that should be collected as a king.

He gave all the original Augustus family to Noah as a reward for Noah not interfering in the kingdom, so that the power and desire of the holy dragon could be released.

I rule the kingdom belonging to Augustus, and you go to build your dragon kingdom. We do not invade each other, but we can help each other.

"Urnos does not want you to interfere with him and the Kingdom of Atlas."

The dragon fairy Xifuleiya made a summary. She faced the golden dragon and bowed slightly.

"So, now is your time!"

"Now is not my time."

Noah glanced at Xifuleiya, whose mentality was obviously inflated, and corrected her.

He is actually a little confused now. He doesn't know whether it is because of the infection of his dragon blood or because of the increase in strength.

Anyway, the mentality of these little guys is more and more inflated, even Xifuleiya, who seems to be the most stable on the surface, is getting more and more arrogant.

In terms of corruption and bribery, these little guys are better at making money than one another.

It is said that some scholars have conducted research in this regard, which has also caused a lot of controversy. Some scholars believe that this is the influence of the dragon bloodline, which is why the originally kind and calm fairies have become so corrupt.

But some scholars believe that this is the nature of fairies. It is just because their original power is too weak and there is no suitable position to display it. It is because they become dragon followers that they have the opportunity to embezzle and accept bribes, and can show this part of their nature.

Both views have a lot of support, but it is difficult to verify the specifics. Individuals of intelligent races cannot be the same, because their bloodline, the power attributes they master, the acquired experience, the knowledge they learn, and the ideas they create are all different.

The so-called corruption and bribery of the ruling fairies has become a trend. Perhaps the biggest reason is that the environment is like this. It is the environment that has shaped their character and enabled them to master such skills.

"We are not strong enough, we still need to develop and take time to grow."

Noah reiterated, but the Golden Dragon changed the subject immediately,

"However, since we have the right to explore, we should also use our hands and feet properly!"

Outside the civilized territory is a wild but not desolate world. The world there is full of vitality and vigor, perhaps far beyond the civilized territory, and there are also many opportunities.

Ancient ruins, unknown heritage, the number of powerful creatures in them may not be much less than that in the civilized world, and there will also be quite powerful monster kingdoms.

Noah was once taken out by his adoptive father Cassius, and he encountered a legendary natural spirit that had been sleeping for hundreds of years.

This incident is still fresh in Noah's memory, because in terms of size alone, he is now a little worse than that ancient snake, and it will take some time to settle before he can surpass it.

"Are you interested in being the head of the legion?"

The idea that emerged earlier can now be put into practice. Originally, Noah only planned to expand several legions to accommodate the idle goblins, but now there is a way to use the army.

Noah does not have any decent combat troops under his command. The only one that can be called is the legion composed of cloud giants.

But this legion will only appear when Noah needs it, and when Noah has no use, this legion will be disbanded.

The cloud giants will return to their respective homes, pursue their own hobbies and occupations, and enjoy their own lives. In other words, Noah has no professional soldiers and no real combat units under his command.

Because it was not needed before, if Noah wanted to use troops, he would summon the adult cloud giants under his command to form a legion, and then borrow a few knights from the Augustus family, which was basically enough.

But now is different from the past. The adoptive father Cassius is no longer there, and Teddel has ended his reign. Now, his descendant Urnos is about to take over.

It is probably unlikely to borrow the knights of the Augustus family at will like going home.

It is imperative to train professional full-time soldiers and form your own combat legion. How can a qualified lord not have his own violent armed forces.

"Your will is my direction!"

This is the answer that Sifrea gave to Noah. This dignified dragon fairy who usually looks very calm, at this moment, her eyes are shining with unprecedented brilliance, turning into dazzling golden pupils.

Army building order!

This is the first order issued after Noah's territory expanded.

According to the first dragon fairy, the executive officer of his subordinate, Mr. Xifuleya, the main purpose of this army building order is to consume the production capacity of the expanded golem production line, which can accommodate many three-no fairies and better stabilize and maintain the order of the territory.

"Wow, three combat corps are to be established at one time, which one should we join?"

In the places where fairies gather in the Eldis Mountains, the newly issued recruitment decree has attracted the attention of many three-no fairies. They gathered in front of the bulletin board, carefully reading the information on it, and their expressions gradually became excited.

"Sacred Dragon Blade, Holy Dragon Heart, Holy Dragon Shield, what's the difference between these three regiments?"

"Look at the three regiments' leaders, they are Sifrea, Lutitia, and Elfino, there shouldn't be any difference."

"But the requirements for selection are so high. Just to participate in the selection, you need to have the magic power of the Radiant Gold level. It will take me more than ten years to reach this level."

"But the treatment after being selected is good, at least you can get a steel golem!"

"Steel mecha, I really want a golem, can the requirements for the legion to recruit new members be lowered a bit?"

"Who told you Lazy? I've already reached it. "

"You have reached it, but you are only qualified to participate in the selection, not directly selected, what's the big deal, hum!"

"Wait until I am selected, drive the Iron Golem, and see if you can still show this face now."

"Bah, you are dreaming, each legion has only 60 places, and there are hundreds of great goblins who meet the requirements. How can you get in?"

"What if I am selected?"

"I will kneel down and call you mother!"

"Okay, I will definitely take your daughter."

The formation and recruitment of the goblin war group caused a great response among the goblin community.

Although the number of goblins who are qualified to participate in the election is less than 800, there are even fewer places in the war group.

Because goblins are spirit creatures, their bodies are too fragile, so if they are to be put on the battlefield, strong protection is indispensable, so Noah believes that every goblin should have at least one Iron Golem.

The goblins traded their weak bodies for powerful elemental affinity spellcasting power, and combined with the iron golems' strong defense capabilities against creatures of the same level, they were almost crushing.

Noah felt that such a regiment was enough to walk sideways on a normal battlefield. If there were enough of them, they might be able to fight against creatures stronger than themselves.

"It is better to have fewer than enough. You must not lower any standards. You don't have to recruit enough now. There are no challenges in the outside world now. You have enough time to train warriors."

A million goblins, even if one is picked out of a hundred, are enough to train more than ten thousand big goblins. The upper limit of these big goblins is basically shining gold.

As long as the big goblins are willing, with the blessing of the great power of time, the accumulated magic power can basically reach this level. As for the power of a higher realm, it has nothing to do with effort and sweat.

However, although there are many big goblins, there are less than a thousand big goblins that have truly reached the upper limit of the current form. And what Noah needs now is a warrior who can fight and carry, and can charge on the battlefield.

Unfortunately, most of the goblins whose magic power meets the standard do not meet the standard of warriors. The life they had previously lived was too comfortable.

Without any disparagement, most of the goblins under Noah are a group of weak noble ladies. Weak here means that they cannot withstand the high-pressure and high-risk war environment. Their mental and will toughness is not up to standard and they cannot accept too harsh an environment.

"As you wish, only real warriors can join the battle group!"

The three goblin giants naturally agreed with Noah's request.

Although their current achievements have a lot of luck, their personal efforts and struggles cannot be ignored. Similarly, they suffered hardships and endured little by little in the past, how could they have a comfortable life like the goblins now.

"The fairies nowadays are too delicate and can't bear any hardship!"

"That's right, unlike us back then. We didn't have such good conditions back then."

"When I was there, if I had the chance to own an iron golem, I would be willing to sacrifice half my life for it. Now these trash are crying and want to quit just because they have broken their skin."

"Such trash must not be allowed to join the battle group. This is a shame for the fairies. Your Majesty needs real fairy warriors to serve him!"

"Although your Majesty allows not to recruit full quotas, it's too ugly to have even half the quota now."

"It's better to be ugly now than to be defeated on the battlefield in the future."

"This generation of fairies is useless!"

"One generation is worse than the next."

The difficulty of forming a legion with fairies as the core was somewhat beyond Noah's expectations, so Noah couldn't help but start to examine whether there was something wrong with his idea.

Just when Noah was considering whether to adjust the army building plan, a piece of news came from the capital. At this time, this news had swept across the Kingdom of Atlas like a hurricane, and the whole country knew about it.

Urnos was successfully promoted to become a legend, becoming the third of the Augustus family, or more accurately, the second legend with Titan blood. After all, Teddel's promotion was really hard to describe.

"The speed of promotion was faster than I expected, and it did not disappoint his natural blood."

Noah calculated that Urnos was not yet fifty years old at this time. Compared with his father, he was much stronger, but of course, he could not compare with his grandfather.
