Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

Chapter 237 The Fifth Generation of Augustus

"If this kid continues to advance, he might really become the second generation of the Immortal King."

Noah had previously ridiculed Wayne for becoming the Immortal King, and did not expect him to really do anything. After all, in the Great Cemetery, it is conservatively estimated that the number of legendary undeads in it exceeds double digits, which is a veritable kingdom-level force.

This is why all forces in Middle-earth prepared for war at all costs before the outbreak of the Undead Catastrophe, because the Immortal King in the Great Cemetery was seriously injured and fell asleep, and his remaining remnants were still powerful.

Although there are problems such as chaotic command, multiple orders, and serious internal factional struggles, such problems do not only exist in the Undead forces.

Who does not have similar problems with any force of a certain scale?

For example, under the current flood of the Undead Catastrophe, the Elf King's Court, which is the first to bear the brunt, seems to be a monarchy with a queen respected by many elven clans, but in fact, the temple priests, clan elders, the Royal Council, and the army all enjoy sufficient rights.

The Elf Queen is only higher in status than the leaders of these internal forces. What she actually wants to do is still mainly through consultation. Under such coordination, the internal friction generated is very outrageous.

In contrast, the Undead, who have temporarily lost the Immortal King, have higher organizational coordination and unity than the Elves. At least every legendary Undead's order can be quickly executed when it reaches the middle level. There will be no discounts on the orders from the middle level to the lower level, because the lower-level Undead have no wisdom.

This advantage in internal organizational structure is difficult to be reflected in small-scale wars, but it will be perfectly reflected in large-scale battles. The Undead troops can surround the Elf troops in a very short time, and even encircle and annihilate them.

After the war is over and all the Elf corpses are transformed, the Undead side can reorganize the troops and then welcome the late reinforcements from the Elf side.

It sounds ridiculous, but similar things have happened more than once on the battlefield. The undead are much stronger than the elves in terms of the grasp of the battle situation, the mobilization of the army, and the execution of orders. In the Middle-earth battlefield, the undead continue to advance, while the elves are retreating step by step.

Therefore, from the public's perspective, the undead disaster has reached a point where it is too big to be controlled. At least, the Elf King Court, which bears the brunt of it, cannot stop it.

Although the elves want to save face, if they really suffer, they will still consider putting it aside and are willing to seek external assistance, such as the Kingdom of Atlas, which has already established an alliance with them on the surface.

This is why Urnos was assassinated by the undead. The undead know very well what their advantages are. It is not an endless sea of ​​skeletons. This does not pose any threat to the real strong.

However, the advantages of the command structure of the undead are not only gone when compared with the Kingdom of Atlas, but have become a disadvantage.

Urnos is a true king. He does not need to consult with anyone, and his will will not be shaken by anyone. No one dares to go against his decision.

The undead believe that Urnos is the weakness of the Kingdom of Atlas. As long as this monarch is solved, the kingdom will become as ridiculous as the Elf King's Court, and will perish in the struggle and confrontation between internal factions.

This view cannot be said to be wrong. Noah agrees very much. After all, the Kingdom of Atlas was established too recently. The major legendary families reached a consensus on establishing a country after realizing the benefits of the union.

If there is no Augustus family, no matter who is elected as the royal family, they will not be willing to have more power than them. The united country is even more of a joke. It is okay to bully small countries, but in the face of real disasters, there is no ability to resist pressure and it will collapse at the touch of a button.

If a country wants to have a strong ability to resist pressure and disasters, it must have an absolute will and plan everything in a coordinated manner, so that the country can burst out most of its potential instead of being a mess.

Urnos has such ability. Unfortunately, he is indeed the weakness of the kingdom, but he is also the strongest in the kingdom.

He is not a lonely king. His mother and the legends who are willing to follow him are all his right-hand men. If you want to kill him, you must have the ability to wipe out half of the high-end combat power of the Atlas Kingdom in a short period of time.

"Next, Urnos should first integrate the domestic forces, and then swing the knife against the undead."

If Urnos had enough patience and even interest to watch the offensive and defensive war between the elves and the undead, then he who was assassinated now would definitely join the battlefield.

The temper of this second-generation monarch is not so good that he will not say anything or fight back after being beaten. He will definitely retaliate and complete his revenge. No one has any reason to stop him.

Although this is not the direction of the war that Noah originally expected, it gives Noah more room to display.

Wayne, the son of hell, who was previously sent by him to infiltrate the undead forces, has risen in power and now has joined the core decision-making level.

This means that Noah can directly influence the core decision-making of the undead. Urnos is about to end, which means that Noah has also entered the battlefield and truly has the ability to influence the war situation.

The Elf King's Court will not listen to Noah's words. Noah's influence on them is only through some special channels, reselling them intelligence, and influencing their decisions through intelligence.

Of course, Noah now has no way to directly influence Urnos, and this monarch will not accept orders from anyone.

However, it is still the same trick. As long as some information is sent to Urnos, the same effect can be achieved. The information transmission does not need to be too troublesome. Noah can notify directly.

This also means that Noah can use the Kingdom of Atlas to gradually eliminate all factors that threaten Wayne, push this nephew to a high position, and let him control the cemetery.

"Tsk, this kid is so lucky!"

After discovering that the second-generation immortal king who was originally ridiculed is feasible, Noah muttered.

He can't imagine how interesting things will become if Wayne becomes the second-generation immortal king and controls the dead kingdom.

However, although the matter has changed from a joke to a feasible possibility, it is still difficult to achieve it. At least half of the current immortal parliament must be cleared.

Wayne still needs to be promoted to become a legend, but this guy is unwilling to be promoted before he has his own child, but the child he wants must be a pure-blooded human who will not be contaminated by hell blood.

"It's so troublesome, one by one."

Noah sighed, but also calmed down and prepared to solve the problem step by step.

Gwen has made good progress in applying blood stripping technology to newborn babies, because Noah opened the Dragon Realm to her.

In this super-large demiplane test field, any idea that breaks through morality and ethics can be tried in it, because the races that survive and reproduce in it have abandoned these shackles that hinder survival, although they have no morality in the first place, after all, they are all monsters that have passed the screening.

As a human wizard, Gwen is unwilling to conduct any project experiments on babies of the same race. She is too well protected and has a very high moral bottom line, at least much better than her brother.

But for some races evolved from low-level monsters such as goblins, goblins, dog-headed men, lizardmen, and fishmen, she had no psychological burden at all, and she was ruthless with the experimental knife in her hand.

When Noah was solving the problem of offspring for Wayne, Jinlong also took the time to contact Ophelia, and asked about the situation of Chitian Laoden indirectly. He was too curious about the result of that battle.

However, it was a pity that even Ophelia, as a biological daughter, was unaware of it. She didn't know that her father had a conflict with a high-level lord in hell.

If his biological daughter didn't know, Noah didn't know even more. As for his adoptive mother, Noah also tried to test the mouth, but unfortunately Selina, who was obviously not very secretive, kept her mouth shut at this time and didn't reveal any information, which made Noah feel as uncomfortable as if he was scratching his heart.

But even if he felt uncomfortable, Noah could only hold it in, because apart from Ophelia and his adoptive mother, he had no other channels to find out the results of this battle, and even the gods might not be able to observe this battle conflict.

Therefore, Noah could only put away these complicated thoughts and continue to devote himself to research, perfecting this blood stripping technology that seemed to have little practical application value at the moment.

Just when Noah was working hard, a piece of news came to Noah.

The fifth generation of the Augustus family was born

It sounds like very explosive news, but given the identities of both of his parents, this news did not cause much waves in either Elishim or Uther, but only caused some reactions within the Augustus family, and they were negative.

Strictly speaking, the fifth generation of Augustus, who was born, can no longer use the surname Augustus, because his father is not Augustus, but his mother has this surname.

Evelyn

This is the first person in the four generations of the Augustus family to give birth to a child.

Not only because she is a woman who married out, but also because she is the lowest-achieving direct descendant in the four generations of the Augustus family, and she is about to lose her sense of existence in the family.

Not only did Urnos not pay much attention to this daughter, even Noah had not paid attention to her for many years, because she had given up the true blood inheritance and chose to live as an ordinary human.

Evelyn, who has no spirit of tenacious struggle, has lost her ambition, and chose a peaceful life, cannot be said to have made a wrong choice, but compared with her brothers and sisters, she is indeed without highlights and there is no need to pay attention to her.

However, after all, she is also a child who has grown up under his watch, and now the other party has his own children, so Noah still pays a little attention to her.

"Holy warrior? Not bad."

Noah, who paid attention to the princess again, learned more news. After giving up the true blood gift, Evelyn parted ways with her brothers and chose to continue her original adventurer life.

Because the princess found that after losing the deliberate attention and cultivation of the Holy Dragon, the adventurer's life turned out to be so easy and comfortable.

It was during this process that Evelyn found her love, a young paladin.

Ignoring the acquired factors such as status, position and assets, and only evaluating them based on moral character, personal ability and charm, every paladin who can be favored by the Holy Light is an excellent partner.

But considering her status, Evelyn was not a good match for the paladin she chose. But because the princess had such a small presence, no one stopped her from getting married.

When their children were born, the Augustus family noticed and discovered it.

No one cared about the child, but the princess secretly got married without telling anyone.

Although Urnos didn't care about his daughter, or even the choice she made, he cared about his authority as a king.

A princess of a country actually decided her marriage so hastily. No matter in which country, it is not allowed. Although the paladin she chose is very good, he is not worthy of the princess in terms of status, because he has no help for the Augustus family.

According to the conventions of human countries, a princess like Evelyn will become a political resource, and her love and marriage will be used as a bargaining chip to exchange the interests needed by the country.

But she was very willful and chose a paladin from a poor family. This made the Augustus family take some compulsory measures against her, such as restricting her freedom and expelling her husband.

At this point, things have become very clichéd, and have reached a situation that the general public does not want to see. But the next scene is a plot that the public likes to see.

The princess's brother, the Golden Dragon Knight who guards the kingdom's wall in the northwest frontier, Alexander, who is known as the next most powerful heir to the throne, "alone" rides a dragon back to Uther, forcefully breaks into the family confinement area, and takes his sister away.

This scene will only happen in the fairy tales made up by the bard. When it is really staged in reality, it undoubtedly detonates the emotions of the lower-class people.

A princess of noble status marries a knight of good character. This fantasy in the dreams of many people has come true today.

However, the majority of the people in the kingdom can enjoy the melons and watch the fairy tales staged in reality, but Noah can't watch it at all.

"When did this place become a nursery? Am I suitable to be a nanny? Since when did I leave this impression on you? Tell me and I will correct it."
